    Pizza box

    Tried the fungi pizza and added sausage. It was good a little too salty but manageable. A medium was plenty to have left overs. Ordered to go and appreciate that the to go orders have a sticker on the box to keep it shut. It's truly the details that matter.

    Never even knew this restaurant was here. So happy we found this place. It's a cute restaurant with lots of space. We've actually visited it twice now within the last 2-3 weeks. Just wanted to try the other stuff they had in their menu. So far we love their square pizzas. The crust is amazing. We tried the regular round pizza but not a fan. The crust was kinda too thin and kinda hard. The bulgogi pasta was just ok, not a lot of flavor. The staff is super friendly. Food came out at a timely matter. Lots of parking too.

    Smoked Mozzarella Sticks

    Beautiful spring day. I was in the mood for a pizza and beer outdoors. This spot was perfect. I was seated outside and ordered the thin crust TAVERN-STYLE SAUSAGE + GIARDINERA PIZZA and the smoked mozzarella sticks with house made ranch and marinara. Paired with a light lager, it was the perfect Spring Day lunch! The pizza was super thin crusted, to the point of crispy. The mozzarella sticks were nicely fried and not heavily breaded. Our server was Rob and he was super cool, friendly and helpful. Everything he recommended was superb!

    Cup of minestrone soup, slice of Burrata pie and an Arnold Palmer

    I stopped by for lunch to enjoy a $6 slice of Burrata pie. The crust was crispy and the pizza sauce was not sweet, not tart; just right. I did pair it with the best comforting cup of minestrone soup I have ever tasted. It hit the spot on this chilly Fall weather and it even tempted the guy next to me to order a bowl. The hand-made Arnold Palmer was refreshing and good with my meal. I will return to try a pasta dish/Autumn Salad. The service at the bar was exceptional! And ambiance was quiet.

    This is not your ordinary pizza place, but a cool hang out spot with other great food besides pizza. Located tucked in a corner of a strip mall, there's ample parking and plenty of seating. Their pizzas are fantastic. Unlike others, Pizzalina pizza are not greasy nor overbaked to extra crispy; they had the right amount of toppings. But, I will say I was more impressed with their chicken wings and brussels sprouts; both very addicting.

    The pizza wasn't anything different and one major and important complaint was the customer service. Pizza - I ordered the Salsiccia and the sausage was really good. I'd give the pizza a 8.5/10 review Kids pasta - just regular spaghetti noodles and something you can make at home. 6/10 review Customer Service - I usually don't complain and still left a decent tip. I think it's what bothered me was when I was ordering, the waiter's attention was someplace else and made me feel unimportant. Also, I only ordered 3 items and 1 of the items, the kids pasta, was never placed so we had to wait after we were almost done with our pizza. I did talk to one waiter who was super nice and if not for him, I may have given a worse review. 5/10 review Like I said earlier, I normally don't write complaints about Customer service and I felt like this was needed. I was excited to visit this restaurant because I heard good things about it and hoping my next experience with them will be better!

    Tavern-Style Sausage + Giardinera Pizza
    Gina G.

    Mozzarella sticks..IYKYK...but if you don't, now's the moment to have a nostalgic mozza stick experience. And I must say, everything about it was everything I wanted and more. I'm a huge mozzarella stick fan ~ it's always been one of my favorite apps and through adulthood, it's just not something I gravitate towards on a menu anymore. But Pizzalina's mozzie sticks are to put it simply..out of this world. And yes, deserve two paragraphs or more. The cheese is a smoked mozz, and comes with tomato sauce and a house-made ranch. Truly chef's kiss. Unfortunately no photos can be found from me, just memory. Thankfully others have snapped some on Yelp. The Caesarlina Salad was deliciously crisp and fresh ~ loved the creamy dressing. We ordered a kids pasta with Alfredo sauce and quite honestly..we wanted to order a second bowl for the table because it was that good! The pasta is house-made too (you can sub gluten-free penne made with quinoa flour, fyi). Would love to come back to try any of the pasta dishes including the short rib ravioli, rigatoni and vodka sauce, or even the spaghetti and meatballs. Another win. To end off the meal, the Tavern-style Sausage and Giardinera Pizza was delicious and so different! Now this is a thin and crispy square-cut pizza or as the fam likes to say, a 'bar pie', but packed with flavor. Sausage, mozz-provolone cheese blend, tomato sauce, pickled local veggies. A definite must-try if you enjoy those ingredients, and something that seems very special and unique to this restaurant. Pizza-wise they offer other red based pies, white sauce pies, create your own pizzas, squared pies, and more. Would love to come back and try more from the menu, a local brew from their awesome drink menu, or perhaps a glass of one of their wines on tap/cocktail, and the froyo which seems to always be a table pleaser. All in all, absolutely loved this neighborhood spot tucked away in a shopping center on Treat Blvd. It's fun, lively, fair pricing, great staff, and has a little something for everyone on the menu. Also multiple TV's for sports was a huge win for our fam too. Yum!

    We were sat down rather quickly, however service here on out was a bit slow. There seemed to be a mix up as we had already ordered and another service came to apologize and didn't know we had already been helped. I loved the salad. The pizza was good. Soft doughy with good flavor. I'd like to try another flavor next time as it just didn't seem quite balanced. The restaurant is nice, good ambience, clean. Staff was apologetic for slow service. I would give it another try. Maybe just an off night.

    COLUMBUS : ezzo cup-n-char pepperoni, pickled red fresno peppers, bianco di napoli tomato sauce, hot honey $25
    Janet N.

    Was looking for by-the-slice pizza places in the area and just figured to stop in at Pizzalina for take-out. The line leading in and bustling kitchen were all great signs! The hostess gave great recommendations on pizzas and appetizers and ended up order the Columbus and Summer Salad. Summer Salad was totally up my alley! Butter lettuce, peaches, corn, shaved radish, pickled onion, pumpkin seeds, ancient grain farro, sonoma goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette. Totally delicious, fresh, bright and really screams summer. Highly recommend this one! The Columbus was a tavern style pizza with ezzo cup-n-char pepperoni, pickled red fresno peppers, bianco di napoli tomato sauce, hot honey. Love the cuppy pepperoni and the super thin, crust. I didn't find it exactly to be crispy, but definitely helped myself to more than one slice because of the thin, light crust. Totally foldable, btw and no sag. I thought the pizza was good, good amount of sauce and you get a bit of heat and some sweetness. Was it the better pizzas I've had? Not quite, it did leave a lot to be desired and thought it could even use a bit more pepperoni. In retrospect, I should've went either veg or meat leaning but this was recommended to be a popular one. Price point seemed a bit steep, about $55 for salad, pizza and a can of soda. Service was great and had urgency, which is something you don't find much nowadays. From ordering and into my hands, out the door was about 20 min. Efficient and speedy service!

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while. My aunt's Chicagoan partner highly recommended this place as there's really not many restaurants that make the tavern style pizza. We ordered a tavern style pizza and asked for it to be crispy and dry with sausage and pepperoni. It's so good we ordered one to go! We also had the caesar salad and rigatoni pasta. The star of the show is the tavern style pizza, which is well known in Chicago but hard to find in California. Service was very friendly as well.

    Original Pie - we couldn't help ourselves from scarfing it down before taking pictures.

    We planned to try Pizzalina after hiking to the Mt. Diablo summit. Coming in with big appetites and a craving for pizza, Pizzalina did not disappoint! We decided to try an original pie and a "squared" pizza, to try out both styles. We got the original pie, with grana padano and pecorino romano cheese, aged mozzarella, garlic oil, fresh basil and Sicilian oregano; and the forest "squared" pie with roasted mushrooms, sauteed spinach, garlic cream, and shaved red onion. The original pie came out first and looked absolutely beautiful, topped with basil and pecorino romano cheese. The tomato sauce had a wonderful, vibrant and fresh flavor and the undercarriage was cooked super well so that the pizza had zero sag and was incredibly crunchy and crispy. The forest squared pie was also quite nice! I have had Detroit style and other square pie styles, but nothing quite like the Sicilian-inspired square pizza served here, which almost seemed to be cooked on a focaccia bread. Although this pizza looked bigger and larger than the round style pie, it was incredibly light and crispy, and the veggie toppings on the pizza really shined. Both of these pizzas were phenomenal and paired with each other nicely. Unfortunately, I live in San Francisco, so I'm not sure the next time I'll be back but would definitely come here again the next time I am in Walnut Creek!

    Amazing food, baffling management! Pizzalina, you have so much potential. Truly, The food is fantastic, good enough that we've now visited twice despite the fact that your service feels like it's being run by someone in slow motion. Visit #1: We sat at the bar. The restaurant was busy, yes, but the person assisting the bar (who looked very much like the manager) absolutely was not. Slow to take orders, slow to acknowledge anyone, slow to move... Servers were racing around the restaurant trying to keep up, while he just stood behind the bar. But again, food was incredible, so we gave it another chance. Visit #2: We came to celebrate my nephew's birthday, and wow... consistency really is Pizzalina's strong suit, because that manager still didn't move. The restaurant was busy, and the servers were running around doing their best while getting zero help from the person who should be leading them (the manager). Our server wasn't great either, but honestly, how much can we blame her when she's essentially working solo? My dad orders a create-your-own pizza and asks for fresh tomato slices. The server tells us they don't have tomatoes because everything is canned or frozen and they "don't use fresh ingredients." Uhhh... what? We asked for a beer pitcher three times , from three different staff members. When we checked in with our server, she said, "Yeah, I'm still waiting for it too." Guess who's in charge of pouring beers? Yep. The manager who refuses to step out of the bar. I even tried waving him down at one point; he saw me, then looked away. Well that pitcher made it to us after we finished our pizza. The food is STILL delicious. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. Whoever is developing recipes and cooking back there deserves all the praise. Owners, if you're reading this: Please review your surveillance footage. You will very quickly understand the problem. Your manager literally does not move, does not greet anyone, and does not support the team in any way. The staff is drowning while he's... standing. Re-train him, replace him, anything because the food deserves a much better front-of-house experience. We still tipped 20%, but believe me, it wasn't earned. Fix the service, and this place will be outstanding. Until then, come for the food, brace yourself for the rest.

    This restaurant is close to my house and I've now been a few times. The first time I went my sister and I were just trying to find something near by and Italian. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and Columbus pizza and both were tasty. Since then I've also tried to tavern style pizza which is the closest I've ever had to Monical's (central Illinois) which I loved. The last time I went I tried the short rib pasta which was good but I do think the mozzarella sticks and tavern style pizza are my favorites. I also like the wine they had on tap. Service has always been nice.

From the counter, the server called out my daughter saying loudly those cups are for water. She just barely put the drink down on the table and hasn't even had a chance to realize she pour the wrong drink. This experience has traumatized them being called out in public like they were thieves. We ordered several items but we did not have the stomach to eat the food anymore.

It had roasted red peppers on it that just didn't taste fresh and were very tough. The chicken also lacked flavor. Unfortunately, we don't think we will be coming back. It wasn't horrible by any means, but with all of the restaurant options in downtown Walnut Creek, I think other places are better.
