Roasted Garlic Chicken / House Combo Pizza
Corinne P.

A halal pizza spot worth trying! During hot days, I wouldn't recommend dining in because the restaurant was uncomfortably hot inside & sun radiants a lot inside with no shades on the windows. Restaurant was very clean. So many yummy flavors of pizza to choose from. The pizza dough was truly the star! Perfectly cooked, airy, & crispy in just the right areas. All pizzas were loaded up with toppings & fresh ingredients. House Combo Pizza - 10/10 Chicken Pesto Pizza - 10/10 Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza - 9/10 Chicken Parm & Spinach Pizza - 9/10

House Combo (Small 10") with Jalapeño Ranch which was sooooo good.

Nice and clean restaurant. We decided to dine-in. Wanted to try a new pizza restaurant in Pinole.

Sausage, onion & mushroom pizza
Kelley K.

Yes, very good! Not Authentic Italian pizza great but good American pizza. With quality ingredients! Very tasty. I was greeted with a smile from a very nice owner/employee. He was helpful & friendly. Their restaurant is clean & welcoming. $20 for a small 3 ingredient stuffed crust pizza. It was yummy. Thing to note: no pork at this establishment.

I love deep dish pizza, with Zachary's in Berkeley being my usual go to. But I wanted to try somewhere closer to home and once I saw all the rave reviews about Pinole Pizza House's deep dish pizza, I had to give it a try! And boy, I'm sure glad I did! I ordered the house combo deep dish and OMG it was amazing!! Stuffed with delicious fresh ingredients, oozing with yummy melting cheese and just the right amount of tomato sauce - Perfecto!! It's funny bc my wife said that she likes it better than Zach's and I honestly can't disagree. Highly recommend!

Small cheese pizza $8.99 on thick crust
Angela M.

Daddy had a hair appointment so little one and I needed to pass time. Originally we planned on exploring Dollar Tree, but as we approach the store I saw a sign "(Pinole) Pizza House." I asked my little one if she wasted pizza and with a yes we headed there. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and hospitable. He was patient while we learned the menu and my little one decided what she wanted. A small cheese pizza ($8.99) with a thick crust ($?) and two drinks - a canned coco cola and a canned lychee sparking water - total came out to $20.44. We took a seat. The restaurant is small with seating of 4 at four tables and seating for two at one table. My daughter picked the table for two - farthest from the door and closest to the restroom. While we waited a napkin dispenser and seasoning packets were brought to our table along with two plates. The pizza arrived at our table fairly quickly - I estimated 15 min or so. The pizza was on a thick crust (as ordered) with a layer of cheese and tomato sauce peeking through the cheese. The thick crust was airy, crispy and soft. The cheese has a presence, it was salty and lightly spread across the pizza. The flavor of the tomato sauce is highlighted mostly. The cheese was not as prevalent as I would have liked, yet each bite was flavorful and enjoyed. Open Monday through Sunday 11am to 10pm, enjoy many selections. Their speciality selections on a small are $11.99. I was looking at their shrimp option and their margarita pizza. Since my daughter favors cheese, we started with this pizza to begin our introduction. Their speciality pizzas add not unique but they are diverse, hitting the flavor profile of many. I would try Pinole Pizza House again for a speciality option. I enjoyed their customer service and appreciate their hospitality.

Everything and the kitchen sink.

July 18, 2025 2pm 4 stars We drove to Richmond months ago to Richmond Pizza House and had a good bite. I was happy to find out a sister branch opened closer to home in Pinole. We were greeted warmly as we entered by a young man in the kitchen looking busy at a task. I sat down and enjoyed friendly Italian style mood music as my wife chose our pie. At the counter, a medium Margherita pie with thin crispy crust and "add sausage please" was chosen from their extensive menu plus one coke. $30 Our pizza arrived in about 20 minutes. My wife reaches for a slice and the table wobbles. She spends the rest of the meal steadying the table with her foot. "Do you like it?" she asks. Those words always mean she doesn't like something and turns out she didn't like it. She thinks it tasted fine but was too expensive for its thinness. "If it was more like $23 it would be better." She says when asked. I defended the pizza as in my mind she got exactly what she ordered. It Was flavorful but pretty damn thin though for $30. The employees are very friendly and the service is #1. The store is small and clean and comfortable. I would definitely come back if I had the option to enjoy a beer there with my meal. The restroom is clean but didn't seem to have a way to lock the door from the inside. Maybe instructions need to be posted. I'll try to talk her into going back for a more substantial pizza.

First off, love the flavor combos and the sesame twist crust at this place! Placed the order for a couple of pizzas: -Half Pesto chicken, half combo with sesame twist -Vegan spicy broccoli olive with garlic twist -Lemon pepper wings The pizzas were pretty tasty but the wings were too salty- please lay off the seasoning, they were barely edible. Pizza was ready when I arrived and the workers were very nice. Inside had ample seating but nobody was around- most probably get takeout. I'd love to try the other pizza flavors and hope they dust off the salt from their wings!

Breadsticks.
Jarrett N.

J wanted to give this spot 5 stars but the bread sticks were delivered burnt. Having said that the bread is super light and fluffy. I imagine they are amazing if baked correctly. But I'll never no because I'm not going to spend 10 bucks on them again. As for the pizza it is delicious. We got the sweet corn pizza (with bacon added) on sesame crust and the Jay special with mushrooms and garlic crust. Ya'll you can tell they spend time constructing the pizza. Everything was spread out perfectly. Great tasting dough, good sauce and fresh toppings. Will definitely order from here going forward over franchise chains. Dang shame about the breadsticks though. Reviewer note; I still ate them and did not call to complain. Just not my style.

I saw this place on Tik Tok, & so many people were saying many great things about it. I told my boyfriend let's go here to try it out, so while we were running errands, I gave this place a call & asked what would be the wait time for 1 (10 inch) margarita pizza, & it was about a 15 minute wait, which I loved because I was already so hungry & didn't feel like cooking. When I called, they were very nice, friendly, answered all my questions. Anyways, once we got the pizza, & I took that first bite, it was a moment of "heaven on earth" because of the flavors. It's so hard to find a pizza spot that doesn't have a dough that is so dry, but this pizza had the softest dough ever. It was like biting into a warm cloud omg. The pizza was also not overly tomatoey. It seems as if they use freshly cut up tomatoes for the sauce. Pizza tasted very fresh. Everything about it was just perfect.

Jacob C.

I ordered pesto chicken pizza , it tastes so good and not too salty . I m a fans of green onions and it has lots if fresh green onion on top of pizza , I likes eat more healthy so I requested no cheese on it , if u like eating healthy too , they also have cauliflower gluten free dough! Overall I like this custom made pizza and I ll try a calzone pizza here next time

Cheesy Bread
M C.

First time ordering from here. It was easy to order online and the food was ready right on time. We got a combo and cheesy bread. Both very good I loved the garlic on the cheesy bread. The combo was really meaty. We'll be back for sure.

Rob B.

Great little pizza spot by my house, not over priced and quality ingredients. The owners and the staff here are very welcoming and friendly. Great pizzas and great chicken wings. Will be a regular here.

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!

Benchmark continues to be one of my favorite spots when a serious pizza craving hits. Last night, I…read morestopped in specifically hoping to try the eggplant pizza, but unfortunately they were sold out. Since the only other pie I'd previously had there was the brown butter sage -- delicious, though I've learned lemon on pizza simply isn't my thing -- I decided to go with their classic Benchmark margherita instead. It absolutely delivered. This is Neo-Neapolitan pizza done right: bright, fresh tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, torn basil, and a beautifully balanced crust with a perfectly thin base, nicely charred underside, and those airy, leopard-spotted edges that make wood-fired pizza so satisfying. Simple, restrained, and incredibly well executed. It was an unusually warm evening, so I opted to sit outside. My only real complaint is that the tables closest to the street sit noticeably on a slant, making it a bit of a challenge to keep plates and glasses from slowly sliding downhill throughout the meal. A small detail, but worth noting. That said, the staff were genuinely lovely and welcoming, and the overall experience was exactly what I was hoping for. One final recommendation: do yourself a favor and ask for a side of olive oil for dipping the crusts. It's the perfect finishing touch. I'll absolutely be back the next time the craving strikes.

I came here for dinner on a Weds night. For two people, we ordered a pizza, some drinks and a…read moreseasonal lemon pasta. The crust on the pizza was a little thick but had a good chew. There was too much sauce on the pizza, which made the pizza very wet in the center and difficult to pick up. The flavor on the pizza was good but felt like it wasn't baked well. We also ordered the lemon pasta, which I do not recommend. There was crisped up breadcrumbs in the dish, that was meant to add crunch to the dish, but the texture ended up resembling crushed eggshells when chewed in the mouth, and it lacked lots of flavor. I would definitely not order their food to go, as I don't think it would travel well. I don't think I would return to benchmark if I had a pizza craving.

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.

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.
