Tim and his team are serving up slices that rival all the known pizzerias out there. Reminiscent of the classic NY slice and local favorites out of Santa Cruz. For any East Coast transplants stop in and enjoy! read more

This is easily the best pizza in Lamorinda and it's not even close. Fantastic crust. Nice and thin with a very satisfying texture to the edge. Some people never eat that part, which is fine, but when I'm king you will go to prison for it. Back to the pizzeria. We were greeted very warmly by Tim and it was refreshingly obvious this was a family run establishment. Tim was very friendly to our family and the whole staff was attentive. Pizza came out super fast as a proper NY pizza should. If I had to find something that makes this not my favorite pizza in a 10 mile radius is probably the sause was a touch too sweet maybe? Or tangy, or something. Anyway. I'm gonna live with it as simply different. Knowing that they serve slices is going to become dangerous for me. We're gonna eat another pie next week. You should too. read more

Just stopped by on a whim for a slice of pizza. I don't have pizza often. I was greeted upon arrival from the young man making pizza. On display by the slice was a sausage/mushroom pie, cheese pie, pepperoni pie and the last was 8 Moose's take on a Hawaiian pizza. I ordered the sausage / mushroom and was quickly convinced to try the Hawaiian as well. I'm glad I did because bothered were pretty darn good. The crust is perfectly thin and crispy, the sauce is spot on and the toppings - well evwruthing was fresh and delicious. I would recommend 8 Moose for a slice or two or a whole pie. Very good read more

Finally some good pizza back in my life. I really like this place. Delicious pizzas and salads along with friendly customer service. My favorite pizza spot today. read more

They make 3 pizzas for slices, the day I went they had cheese, vegetarian & sausage n mushroom. I ask about creating your own slice & was told its best to call in for that & a pizza will be made for your particular slice. The pizza is super thin & tasted really good, slices are big, very nice staff and I got a free slice for 1st time customer. read more

I had a really good experience here when I stopped by for a couple slices to go on a Saturday night. I was promptly greeted by the friendly young staff before checking out my options for slices. I ordered what looked like a Detroit style pepperoni slice and a regular sausage and mushroom slice. Both were solid! The slices aren't cheap, but all the ingredients they used, including the pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, cheese, and tomato sauce all tasted like high quality to me. The crust was the star of the show though in my opinion. It took me a while to try out this place, but I'm glad I did. It's great to have a quality pizza-by-the-slice place here in Orinda. The only regret I had was not asking for a well-done or extra crispy bake on my slices. I'll be sure to do that next time. read more

The photo does it no justice. The crust is as authentic to NY Style pizza as you can find. The sauce is mild and not acidic, nor tart. It's a smooth taste with the perfect blend of cheese. If you are contemplating trying them, do it! read more

8 Moose Pizzeria - Mushroom pizza - Pizza Near Me - Orinda, California

I was working in Orinda, and we decided to try a newer spot called 8 Moose Pizzeria. They sell one size of pies and slices. We each ordered a vegetarian slice, and it was really tasty! They have the thinnest, crispiest sourdough crust I have ever tried. Yum! In addition to their pizza, they also offer pre-packaged, grab-and-go salads. The menu is intentionally limited at the moment; they plan to expand their offerings in the future. Here are their topping choices: Pepperoni Sausage Bell Peppers Mushrooms Black Olives Onions Pepperoncini It's a pretty small spot, maybe six tables inside. Each table has the usual pizza seasonings and Mike's Hot Honey! Boy, was that hot honey great on a pizza! Even though it's a tiny spot, they had a constant stream of customers coming in for slices. They have TVs for your sports viewing pleasure. They offer beer and wine. https://8moosepizzeria.com/ read more

It has now become a bit of a favorite family outing for us. - pick up kiddo from school, and go get a slice each. The pizza is great on all dimensions - crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings. And I can't recommend enough their ranch dressing for dipping the crust edge. The atmosphere is relaxed with good vibes. A local pizza parlor cuteness, if there was a jukebox I would think I'm back to the 80s, but in a good way. read more

Best pizza I've found over here in awhile. Super reasonably priced and good size. Better than more expensive places by far.

8moose is great! Amazing NY style pizza and very friendly staff. We are regulars - it's just what we needed in Lamorinda!

The pizza is delicious and the staff is very kind. The slices are huge, with a nicely chewy crust. There are a few tables for quick dining, but it is primarily a takeout spot. read more

Love everything about the place. Pizza is amazing. Sauce is the winner. Ambiance is casually great. Nice place to hang out and love the TVs in the background. Great family and staff running the place. Always a bonus supporting local business- especially when the pizza is top notch. Ask for extra cheese if you're a cheese person. read more

The vegetarian slice and one with plain cheese (margherita) were tasty, reminding me of New Haven-style pizzas with a great balance of char and chew to the crust and the fresh taste of housemade marinara sauce. I got a container of that sauce for dipping, along with the ranch sauce. The garden salad was basic but solid, with fresh bites of cucumber. The staff was warm and friendly. It was a cold, rainy day, and they strove to make guests feel welcome. I can see where this would be a great place for families too, particularly after showings at the nearby Orinda Theatre or on Friday pizza nights. read more

8 Moose Pizzeria - Vegetarian slice packaged for takeout (atop a margherita slice) - both yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Orinda, California

Best pizza in Lamorinda. Love that they have pizza by the slice. It's become our go-to Friday night pizza place.

Solid new pizza spot in Orinda, we needed this in the neighborhood! Friendly staff too

Delicious pizza and a good variety of vegetarian options. The salads are also fresh and tasty. I understand that one of the owners makes the delicious balsamic dressing himself. It's awesome there is a place to get a slice or two rather than a whole pizza. They just opened and I think we've been there three times. If you're in the mood for a slice, this place is where you want to go. read more

I ordered two pizzas for the little league baseball team. When I arrived at the pick up time, the man working there said he had no order. He eventually walked into the back where he found the ticket for my order. He casually asked if I wanted him to start making the pizzas. I said yes. Within a few seconds I realized that it would be impossible to make them before the game ended. I then told him not to proceed. He said,"OK." He never apologized. I left very upset. A previous reviewer accurately referred to the counter staff as apathetic. 45 minutes later, I received a call apologizing and offering a free cheese pizza if I ever decided to give them a second chance. read more

Our family loves this place! We used to drive to WC/Slice House to get good pizza, but now we are devoted 8 Moose Pizzeria patrons! Our favorite parts of their pizza is the crust (so bubbly) - soft chewy crust but then crisp on the bottom and the sauce - just a touch of sweetness. So happy to have this new pizza joint in our little town! read more

I don't eat much pizza these days but I had to understand the hype around Lamorinda's new pizzeria. Believe the hype-the slices did not disappoint! The light, crisp sourdough crust is the difference maker. Great balance of crust, sauce, cheese and toppings. Folds nicely without a bunch of sauce and cheese falling everywhere. Appreciated the size of the slice's and budget friendly Hump Day special. Do yourself a favor and get the homemade ranch sauce... it's not the normal watered down ranch you get at other spots. read more

Stopped in w/ the family on a Wednesday night, and they were ruining a hump day special: 2 slices of pizza & drink. Great tasting pizza made w/ soar dough & fresh tomato sauce. Great deal for only $10! read more

The pizza had that perfect crispiness of crust and you can tell they use quality ingredients . The salad was fresh and the dressing was definitely not from a bottle. Just might be my new favorite ! Wish there was one in Walnut Creek! I've been looking for a new pizza place as it seems Slice House has gone down in quality. read more

The pizza is delicious, staff is friendly. Good value. We also had a salad which was fresh.

Much better service today. Sauce is sweet and blends well with the crust. They offer free hot honey which is great with pepperoni I'll be back! read more

I found myself in Orinda on a recent afternoon and decided to grab a couple slices of pizza. It was extremely good! So good I felt compelled to write a review, which I rarely do. The pizza is delicious. The staff were kind, and I was able to chill there for a bit passing time watching some golf on the television. Highly recommend. However, I am a big fan of moose in general (the animals) and I never did figure out why it is called 8 Moose. I remain curious. Maybe I'll have to return to figure that out. read more

I'll admit, I was a little skeptical when I first saw a pizzeria moving into this corner spot--but wow, was I wrong! The pizza is absolutely delicious, the variety is fantastic, and the service is outstanding. My grandchildren love it here, and truth be told, I always grab a slice for myself too. The crust alone is out of this world! read more

Favorite new pizza spot! and a welcome addition to Orinda Really tasty sauce and crust.

Well, this place delivers an awesome slice! My husband loves this place so I finally got in here. The crust is amazing, the cheese meat ratio is fulfilling and generous, and don't forget to drop a little hot honey on that crust for a tasty side avenue! read more

Great place! Friendly staff, very large pizza for the money, and food quality is also very good. Very simple menu, which I like. 20 inch combo (everything on it) was $35 out the door. Tied them for the first time. They sell slices and whole pies. I will definitely be back! read more

Pizza and Italian salad were both excellent. Friendly and quick service. Recommended for quick dinner pick up by the slice.

Excellent ingredients but unfortunately not combined together with the right proportions. Excellent when they get it right and horrible when they get it wrong. Manager was no help when my cheese pizza had almost no cheese on it. read more

Went on a Wednesday night, got a whole pie with everything on it. Great pizza for a great price, and not too busy (yet). Worth the wait!

Yummy fresh slice of pizza. I would come back again when in Orinda. The employees were friendly and helpful.

The pizza is really good and crispy. I enjoy the pepperoni and the homemade ranch is a must have.

What a great addition to the Lamorinda area. As described by others, the pizza was fabulous. It has the best crust that we've had in ages. Crisp throughout with a great chew! Hot pizza by the slice with multiple choices or order what you'd like to eat there or take out. The service was great with someone even coming around to your table, asking your opinion and whether you like anything else which they bring to your table.. I think their prices were very fair for the size of the slice. I can't recommended highly enough that you try this place yourself! read more

yummy breakfast pizza today! some fresh ground pepper was an amazing touch. thank you.
