Been coming here for 5+ years and have had them provide pizzas for sons birthday 3 years in a row…read more The crowd is always happy and I always get asked a couple of times where the pizza is from. Appreciate the variety of pizzas they offer. Garlic veggie is one of my faves and their Hawaiian is also pretty wonderful. I have also ordered GF pizzas and the GF eaters love it. This year I also ordered a dairy free pizza-no cheese, just sauce for their veggie combo. At this time, their dough is dairy free! The guest was happy! I do my best to support local businesses and Richmond pizza house makes that really easy. Always wonderful customer service! The inside is comfortable and clean for dine-in, but most folks do take out.

Review long overdue!…read more It's easily become one of my favorite places. Everyone is always so welcoming, and the pizza has been consistently 10/10 I'm pretty particular about where I eat, and once I find a place I genuinely enjoy, I'm a customer for life. This is definitely one of those places.

Very solid place…read more Pizze is absolutely a step above Dominos, Mountain Mike's etc. Noticeably. Their sausage tastes more homemade, the crust actually has decent texture, and the cheese/sauce is in the right amounts. Ladies who work there are super nice and smiley. Good people. I don't like it as much as Zach's or Little Star, but if you want neighborhood thin crust, and can't bring yourself to ordering the same chain crap, this place gets it done. They also sell slices, so its a good place for lunch

Oh my goodness!!!!!! My mother and I were craving pizza, so we found this place on the Slice app…read more We decided to order the Large Republic Pizza Combo with extra cheese and 12 wings (fried hard) with BBQ sauce. Everything was so tasty in every single bite. The pizza had an amazing flavor. They were generous with the extra cheese as well, I was able to taste it. The wings were deliciously crispy. I liked how they put the bbq sauce on the side so the wings wouldn't get soggy. I would keep on supporting this business! Thanks for the amazing food.

The pizza is the star at Little Star Pizza! Located on a busy stretch of Solano Avenue on the lower…read moreportion near the San Pablo Avenue intersection on Albany, California, Little Star Pizza is just one of many locations of this burgeoning franchise from owner Brian Sadigursky, who began his mini-pizza making empire of his signature cornmeal crust deep dish pizzas in a small location along Divisadero Street in San Francisco's Nopa neighborhood. That location has since closed down, but two locations remain, this one in Albany and another along Valencia Street in San Francisco's Mission District. The team also owns three The Star pizza restaurants with locations in Oakland, Alameda, and Portland, Oregon. With all these locations to keep track of what makes people keep coming back for all these wide varieties of pizza pies? It's the dough of course, but it is not just any dough, it is their beautifully crusty cornmeal dough that is cooked to perfection for their Chicago-style deep dish pizza that is what makes Little Star and all of their subsidiaries so worthwhile. I had originally been to this location when they were located literally right next door in a smaller location on the corner. Now, in a much larger location, with floor to ceiling windows that let in natural light on two sides, and their own communal parking lot, where there is a door for direct takeout orders, Little Star Pizza is thriving here in Albany. What brought me and a dining mate back for a first time visit to this newer location was the affordable lunchtime deal that they serve seemingly seven days a week. From open until 3 p.m. diners can order a Personal Signature Pizza either Deep Dish or Thin Crust for only 11 dollars. You can also build your own personal pizza for 9 dollars which is an affordable option. My fellow dining mate and I knew we wanted to select from their Seasonal Specials or their Signature Pies. I decided to order their Personal size All-Star Signature Pie, which was topped with bacon, meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, provolone cheese and served on their signature cornmeal crust, then filled with mozzarella cheese and house-made tomato sauce & finished with parmesan & oregano. My dining mate was intrigued by their Specials menu, and their Personal size Sweet Heat, which was topped with spicy sausage, caramelized red onions, cherry peppers, hot honey and served on their signature cornmeal crust, then filled with mozzarella cheese and house-made tomato sauce & finished with parmesan & oregano. Since both pizzas were so affordable at 11 dollars each, we decided to splurge and order two dessert drinks as I ordered their Golden Gate Orange Soda Float and my dining mate ordered their Dad's Root Beer Soda Float. The wait for our personal size pizzas would be a lengthy one, at least twenty minutes, which for about a nine inch pizza pie, is still a considerable amount of time. But once you do get the pizzas you order, I can report it is well worth the wait, as the pizza has that extra special graininess to it that makes it extra special good. Combined with the fresh tomatoes and an abundance of mozzarella cheese, you cannot go wrong with any type of pizza you order. I liked my All-Star pizza pie with its abundance of meat toppings and I tried my dining mates Sweet Heat pizza pie and it came as delivered as it has a combination of sweetness meets spiciness. Luckily our wait wasn't too long, as we had our ice cream and soda floats to keep us satiated while we waited for our pizzas to be handcrafted. Our total bill was $42.08, which was with tax but before gratuity, which in all reality was very reasonable considering we ordered two rather large personal deep dish pizzas, and our floats were a mere fraction less in terms of pricing. Since they have a Happy Hour on weeknights from 3-5:30 p.m. with reasonably priced cocktails, one-topping pizzas and other menu items at affordable pricing, you better believe it will not be another decade that passes by before I make another appearance. Here's to the continued success of Little Star Pizza, may more locations be in the future, and may their current locations continue to thrive thanks to their delectable Signature Deep Dish pizzas!

The old owner was always so cool to us as kids and would sometimes give us free slices (usually ones that hadn't sold and probably would've been thrown out anyway), but as kids we thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was just genuinely kind and made the place feel like part of the neighborhood. I know Gioia's has since changed ownership, and unfortunately the friendliness I remember hasn't really carried over. My experiences with the newer staff have been pretty rude and unwelcoming, which is disappointing when you have such fond memories of a place. That being said, I have to give credit where it's due: the pizza is STILL just as good as I remember it being. I just wish the warmth and neighborhood feel of the old Gioia's had stuck around too.

It is take out only but the pizza is good price for what you get. I definitely want to come back and try the other pizzas!

The employee was still making my pizza after I got there, which meant I had to wait longer than expected. During that time, I observed an employee touch his nose while preparing food, which I found unsanitary and concerning. It made me uncomfortable about the food handling practices at this location. Because of the delay and what I witnessed, I won't be returning. I hope management addresses both the food safety concerns and the order timing.

I always wanted to try this place. Why did I wait so long?…read more Halal pizza intrigued me. A pizza and ice cream shop intrigued me. The name Q intrigued me--hopefully it's not associated with that other Q..... They have mediterranean food. So I guess they put some that on top of the pizza and YUMMM!!! Who knew lamb could be so good on pizza! I think it's like lamb kabob. Or is it lamb kebap? Or is it gyro? But it's gooooood! It's a good pizza. The strength is in the topping selection. You kinda just gotta go and check it out. Limited seating. Free parking on the street. Close to freeway. Easy walk to lots of other shops and services. Super friendly service. If you eat specially prepared food like halal for Muslim or other reasons, but you love pizza, this place is for you. He said all the meet is hand cut. I didn't check out the bathroom. I'll go back. It's already like my second favorite pizza around. Too bad they don't have gluten free GF for my wife allergic to gluten.

My friends and I ordered a cheese pizza from Q'S Halal Pizza with lamb along with an order of…read morewings, and the food was not enjoyable. The pizza was rolled very thin, but there was almost zero rise in the crust at all: the crust was dense and not airy. If I were to guess, the pizza dough had probably been sitting out for far too long, leading to the dough being way over-proofed. The cubes of lamb topping the pizza had a strange sourness to it and were incredibly dry. Similarly, the wings were also overcooked and very dry, and didn't really have much flavor to them at all. At $33.99 for an X-Large pizza (before tax and tip), you might as well head over to June's pizza in West Oakland to get a pizza for the same price. This was seriously one of the most disappointing pizza's I've eaten in all of 2025.

The guy working here didn't ask me if I wanted my slice to go or for here and just put it in a to go box. Eating it in the restaurant was not pleasant as the guy had DJ music blasting across the restaurant while he was working in the kitchen. He should have offered to turn it down for me. The pizza itself was just okay, about what you would get at like 7-11,v definitely not as good as a slice from the Costco food court. They only had cheese and pepperoni by the slice and I selected pepperoni. They may have good pizza here if you custom order your toppings, I don't know. I'm certainly not rushing to return back here but am glad I gave them a try out. Low customer service effort here.

Either way your pie will be made to order with love and finesse! We moved to Florida but I still follow them on Instagram and it sucks because I'm dying to taste a pie like his not here and there's no such a thing! Some may think the pies are pricey but no one will think they aren't worth it. You get what you pay for and you'll pay lots more if you walk into a restaurant and who knows if your till get this much flavor, texture and love! Support the artisans in San Francisco !!!

My wife and I recently had the chance to try out a pizza from Pie On The Fly when we stopped by…read moreGreat Notion in Berkeley. Between the two of us, we shared "The Bee's Knees," which had a tomato base, mozzarella, Italian sausage, soppressata, Mike's hot honey, ricotta dollaps, and fresh basil ($24). Overall, a very delicious pizza: perfect balance of sweet and savory. You can never go wrong topping a pizza with a drizzle of Mike's hot honey. For about $30 after tax and tip, it's certainly not a cheap pizza -- especially for its size, but consider it a donation to support your local artisans. The dough was rolled out very thinly and evenly, and the crust puffed up nicely and had a good chew to it. If you ever have a chance to see Pie On The Fly at a pop-up somewhere, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try. Their pizzas are tasty and the staff could not be nicer.
