Under the old ownership the food was already good. Now it's incredible! They've kept the menu intact but have really elevated everything, and have even made some tasty additions. The chicken wings were out of this world (the new owner, Jagroop, was really proud of them, as well he should be), we were amazed at how they could make garlic bread that wasn't at all greasy, and our pizza was fantastic! All the same flavors from the previous menu, but done better somehow...Tastier, cheesier, fluffier crust...We were blown away. And all the other reviews are true, the owners really are THAT nice...You don't get that kind of personal service very many places these days. They also told me they're going to be introducing a new lunch menu item this month - chipotle-style bowls but with Indian filling. I love how they want to innovate and serve up new and interesting dishes. Sounds delicious and I can't wait to come back and try it! If you haven't tried India pizza yet, La Val's Albany does it right. read more

We had stopped in here once before for a late night slice to go, but tonight we arrived early enough to order a whole pie and sit down to enjoy it. After contemplating a few different slice ideas, we agreed to split a butter chicken pizza. It was freshly made, hot and delicious. Great flavor, stretchy melted cheese, thin crust, but thick enough to hold up to the toppings and stay crispy. The owners were also delightful - super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend - we'll be back! read more

Hands down the best pizza I've ever had, the dough was perfectly crispy and the toppings are so flavorful, it elevates pizza from being a last minute thing to fill your stomach to a real meal. The owners are a beautiful couple who are incredibly hospitable and got my pizza to me immediately. The restaurant feels like a home, no need to dress up but you come and sit and reminisce on how great of a time out you're having. I recommend this spot to all my friends, I plan on being a loyal customer forever :') read more

I do not understand how anybody that knows good Pizza would think that this Pizza is good. The crust was more in line with a frozen pizza. The cheese and toppings had no flavor. The sauce was decent but to much was put on. Everyone who tried it at our small gathering agreed. In an area with lots of great pizza, this is a waste of time. read more

New ownership, same amazing chicken tikka pizza!! Came by around lunch and was warmly greeted by the husband and wife who had just taken over the restaurant from a family member. They love the area, send their kids to school close by, and look forward to making the pizzas for all their neighbors :) Come by, have a chai, a curry pie, and support family run businesses!!! read more

Just had an awesome experience at LaVal's in Albany. We ordered the Chicken Tikka pizza and the BBQ Chicken special and both were delicious. Everything tasted super fresh and you could really tell it was made with care. Roop and his wife were also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Great pizza and great people -- we'll definitely be back read more

Customer service was amazing and so was the pizza. Owner is incredibly nice. Ambiance was great as well.

Worst pizza I have ever had. Like a microwave pizza. 7 eleven is even better. Just dismal. Small slice was 10 dollars. No flavor. Bad crust. Too much sauce. Undercooked. Maddening. read more

I ordered take out too close to their closing time and did not notice the order didn't go thru. So when I arrived right as they were closing, the whole family was there ready to go home. Still they insisted on preparing my pizza. They even threw in a dessert because of the "wait" (10 mins to make the pizza). Really impressed by this quality of service. And the pizza was delicious! Will definitely go back and love that it's family owned read more

Quick Summary: - Ordered by delivery - No greasy stomach feeling afterwards It was one of those rare days when I craved pizza, so we decided to order it via delivery. We initially found a different Indian pizza place, but there were issues with checking out, so we were looking for an alternative and found La Val's. If this is the same branch as the one in Berkeley, this is one of the small handful of pizza places, where I can eat and be on a positive mood. We soon discovered, that La Val's also offers Indian pizza, so we tried it out. We ordered one with pineapple and the other with the chicken tikka masala. These two pizzas were very delicious. I was expecting the pineapple to be more refreshing than the Indian pizza, but I was wrong. Turned out the latter was refreshing, new and also become a family favorite. I loved how tender and not dry the chicken was, and the meat had flavor. To my surprise, I was able to eat more than I estimated, so overall a happy dinner time. read more

I stopped by the San Pablo Ave. location for a quick lunch, and asked what was popular. The gentleman recommended the Butter Chicken Pizza, a new-to-me flavor combo. I ordered the very small "personal" pizza - - and it was delicious! Very richly seasoned but not at all spicy-hot, with a wonderful crust. I would order from them again! read more

Decided to stop by this place while out with friends and it was great! The owner was very welcoming and made us feel at home. He makes all the pizzas himself and the menu offers a variety of options. We ordered a few slices of pepperoni and Hawaiian and they both tasted amazing. Great sauce and cheese was melted perfectly. I will definitely be coming back to try out the Indian style pizzas. If you're looking for a new pizza spot, I highly recommend giving this place a try :) read more

We've tried many of the indian pizza around the Bay, and La Val's is the best at it and our go-to spot. It seems like a family owned spot that we have many of our friends enjoy. They have good prices and really great sauces - even the non-Indian pizzas are enjoyed by friends. I ended up doing a taste test between this La Val's pizza in Albany vs. the Hangout pizza place (formerly Albany Pizza/Pastas) and this was pizza was the hands down winner. We've had Pizza Twist too - while good - doesn't beat La Val's great twist on pizza read more

I'm not Indian, but man... Indian pizza got me. This pizzeria is just unbelievably good! I'm very picky with dough thickness and taste, and here they nail it! Since I moved to Berkeley area this is the only pizza place I've been ordering pizza. Everything in this place is great: a very friendly environment with great people, great variety in food options, and they are constantly adding more. I can't recommend more than 5 stars, but this place definitely deserves more! read more

Exceptional Indian pizza and Italian mix. Convenient location, exceptional staff and great food. It can't be emphasized enough just how welcoming La Val's on San Pablo is. Fantastic place to de-stress and chow down. Whenever I need comfort food after a long day, when I am coming home from a long trip, or when I want for a great chat with Satnam, the owner, I always know where to come to first--here! read more

The most wonderful pizza I've ever had is La Val's style. The chef always produces the tastiest pizza, with fresh dough, a variety of protein selections, and toppings. You can even make your own pizza. We've been buying pizza from this business every week. If you also purchase combos or family sizes, they have specialties every day. My personal recommendation is to try their pizza. We can dine in the place as well and the place is comfortable to sit around and service is amazing. read more

This place has a new owner. They are very slow and defensive about their mistakes (just ordered a pizza, apparently the only one being made, and was told that it would be 10 to 15 minutes before it went into the oven). After arguing with the only employee, she eventually made the pizza and put it in the oven. I have no idea what it will taste like. I read more

I'm a huge fan of all of the Indian pizza varietals. I like the Desi chicken because it has regular pizza sauce but also Indian spices on top. I like the mixture of pizza flavor and Indian flavor. They have others with Indian sauces like the butter chicken pizza has butter chicken sauce etc. These are great too. read more

One of the best pizza i have ever eaten specially butter chicken and palak paneer. New management very kind and very quick service.

My first time ordering from here via Doordash. Very close 2 where I live. I called to ' Request a Vegetarian/ PESTO Sauce. The Owner was Pleasant & Co-Operative. Mr. Paul... Loved how it was ' Hot , Crispy, Loaded with Cheese & Veggies. I'd recommend Otdering from here !!! Just Right !!!! Didn't even Realize they Existed !!!! read more

This pizza is incredible! I ordered the Palak Paneer on gluten-free crust, It is so tasty. The owner, Singh, has been making pizzas since the early 80's and makes all of his own sauces. I highly recommend trying La Val's pizza. read more

Great pizza and great service! This is my favorite local pizza restaurant, I love their Indian pizzas.

The Desi Chicken pizza is goated. The guy who runs the restaurant is nice. The price for the pizza is good.

I ordered 2 large pizzas. The butter chicken and the chicken tikka. The pizzas were fantastic, you can even customize the spice level! Definitely my go-to pizza spot when I am in the neighborhood. On top of that some of the nicest and welcoming owners I've come across. Would highly recommend you give this place a try! read more

Open late! Tastes great!! Traditional Zah and Indian Zah too. Easy take out. Friendly staff and family. I've had traditional and tandoori zahs both are good. Did cobid kill the party??? Not sure why everything else is closed at 9-10 pm but I'm grateful that there are more alternatives than fast food drive through and chain Zah joints. Ordering cheese food on cardboard will never happen thank god! read more

I was very new to the Bay Area and was looking for something authentic and different pizza. So I just looked over a few pizza restaurants and found La Val's Pizza in Albany, the best pizza restaurant in the town. I tried Chicken Tikka Pizza which was a complete new taste experience for me. I loved it. I personally recommend everyone to try Indian Pizzas over there. Additionally, the owner Singh is one of a kind, very humble and helpful. And the settings are very good and clean. Loved that read more

Pizza La Vals - Chicken Tikka Special Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Albany, California

Terrible pizza. Pretty simple. The crust was super soft and flavorless, with sharp pointy bits randomly spread throughout where the shredded cheese burned and became daggers for the roof of your mouth. The sauce tased like uncooked flour... red uncooked flour paste. The pepperoni were flimsy and flavorless, hidden under a thick layer of congealed cheese. The cheese choice was super weird, a bunch of partially cooked shredded low moisture stuff that tasted like wax. Gross all around. Made for a lot of chewing. One of the worst things about this meal was it came almost room temp. It was cold, bad tasting, and slimy with oil. Just awful. Oh! And to top it off (literally), they covered the whole pie in what can only be described as yard trimmings. Flavorless curled brown leaves and twigs that we had to pick off after I nearly cracked a tooth on one of the twigs. TL;DR:. Terrible. You're better off going hungry. read more
