Leaning Tower Of Pizza

Some of the best pizza you can get in Oakland, if not the whole Bay Area! I’m from the Midwest and finding a good pizza place has been a struggle for the last 7 years. This place does not disappoint. A common problem from other pizza places in the bay is that they are overly greasy or too cheesy or skimp out on toppings and just have bad crust. Leaning Tower gets high a grade on all these points. Highly recommend.

the pizza is genuinely the best in the bay. the problem is the service. slow, inattentive, lazy, and uninvolved. they need to hire people who care and aren't just wasting time. for instance: they said my pizza would be ready at 6:50. i get there at 6:50 exactly. they say "it'll be 8-15 minutes". ok no biggie. then i wait half an hour and stand at the door. nobody shows up and a line of people picking up forms behind me. then after another extra 10 minutes (so its now 7:30), he gives me my pizza and it's cold. the disorganization and lack of attention during covid specifically is quite bad. if they hired people who actually cared about the work they are doing, this would be a 10/10 perfect joint. but unfortunately this cold pizza incident isnt even the first of its kind. very sad.

Was stoked about getting a sourdough crust pizza, but when I get there they are still coronaphobic and don't want any public interaction. They told me go to a website and order. I couldn't navigate to the actual menu and obviously nobody wanted to help me. With signs of the plandemic subsiding this place looks to keep there business the same, why pay someone to take an order? why pay someone to work a register? or even have w register? why pay a bus boy? More money in their pockets as I doubt they dropped the price of a pizza.

Great pizza (we tried the pepperoni, margarita and the veggie one) and beer during happy hour. Sausage roasted pepper pizza rocks as well!!! Tad expensive though :(. This place is literally 1 min from our house but it's a little expensive for our budget, but happy hour deal is not bad! Love the design (outside and inside) of the place and the staff is very friendly and young!

Hands down the best pizza in the Bay! They have a ton of variety: classics like pepperoni, margarita, Hawaiian etc. but personally I go for the specialties: pear and Gorgonzola, roasted pepper and sausage (which is spicy and sweet), and my all-time favorite: burrata, pistachio, fig, and arugula. They also have "Detroit style pizza" which I had never had before but it's almost like a deep dish except more sophisticated and more cheese! The owner is really passionate about getting the flavor right and it shows.
