One of the elite pizza places in Oakland. Not better than Zachary 's, but with a very nice full bar and just as kid friendly , it may edge out Zachary 's in terms of the overall experience.
Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza , which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.
Great Pizzas , great location, great ambiance! Love the option to personalized my pizza , gluten-free, and my guests can have their pizzas thin crust or deep fry. They have happy hour , too!
On weekdays they have individual sizes available in either deep dish or regular. Great cornmeal crust. Full Bar ! Plenty of room. It's not a Little Star, it's "The Star".
Amazing pizza - the crust on the deep dish is crunchy goodness. Excellent cocktails , great atmosphere, often difficult to stop by - make a reservation .
The corn bread crust works best with deep dish but the thin crust is passable. Would pick it over Zachary 's any day. NB: the garlic bread is plain sourdough with ramekins of butter and roasted garlic .
The pizza was cooked to perfection! It was the perfect balance of dough and crunch with so much flavor.
Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza . Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
So incredibly addicted to this place. Sorry Zachary 's, The Star is better. We often order pick-up and get the Gold Coast deep dish almost every time.
The table didn't fit two people but we made the best of it. The pizza as always is amazing. Remember it's 30mins for the deep dish .
The meatballs are good as well as the pizza and the wings got to order them crispy !!!! Definitely recommend
They have changed the menu and they dropped one of my favorites (The Telegraph). Even the quality has dropped. The last few visits have been underwhelming.
Service is very very nice! The cocktails are ok. The food is good, is just such a particular style that I think you can find better around. For the same price. Overall good, not fantastic.
Pizza was amazing! The baked wings are delicious, must try! Warning: wings are on the spicer end.
Amazing pizza place ! Lovely, crumbly crust, wonderful atmosphere, and great service!
Best deep dish pizza in the bay (sorry z) with great cocktails and local beers too.
Great for large groups! Accommodated us super late minute, and the pizza was amazing!
The broadway terrace pizza is amazing. We had it for dinner and woke up wanting to back for breakfast .
Lively deep dish with tasty crust. Small pizza is enough for two.
Great that you can choose between deep dish Chicago style and regular pies
Great pizza and a great bar to sit at and watch a game!
The pizzas are all amazing. New favorite pizza spot in Oakland.
The spicy baked chicken wings were damn good. They got Linden Street Black Lager on tap too.
I am a big fan of the Goddess salad and the Port pizza . The cocktails are good, and strong. :)
The best! Cornmeal crust done right. Sauce with tomato morsels.
It's dark in here... use the light from your phone screen to read the menu & peruse the bold beer selections & skimpy salads
Great cocktails , goddess salad , meatballs and Tribune pizza are favs.
Anything deep dish . Green goddess salad is super tasty too
Awesome food!! Great space! Try the thin crust Tribute pizza , amazing
Had "the grand" deep dish pizza , I don't even particularly like deep dish but this thing was delicious!
Really good BBQ Chicken Pizza . I recommend. ???? Service was quick.
Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza . Mediterranean one is recommended…
Extremely yummy crust and deep dish toppings. I can't believe we ate the whole thing.
Always get reservations , and always get the deep dish .
The stuffed mushrooms are a must try
The Mt Diablo gluten free pizza is wonderful!
Get the meatball appetizer . It will melt in your mouth!
Enjoyed some really good thin crust pizza . Adams Point x Broadway Terrace . Do it!
I totally love the deep dish Mt Diablo .. awesomeness
The baked chicken wings are exceptional. Very flavorful.
Deep dish crust was perfection
The Golden Gate deep dish meatball pizza is quite splendid!
I actually like the thin crust more than the Chicago style here
Go for lunch and get a perfect sized personal lunch pizza . Slammin'!
I said God damn! I never had pizza like this. Highly recommended.
I wasn't sold on balsamic on pizza until I was and I thank my server for this revelation.
Deep dish is great.
Deep dish pizza is divine
Good pizza , loud space try the stuffed mushrooms
great pizza , by Adam Airbnb from Grand Lake
Pepperoni and Sausage are made in house. Tried the sausage, excellent. Next is pepperoni. BEWARE ONION HATERS (red onions on almost everything even if not listed) - G.R. Medina
They can make most of their pizzas vegan. Excellent crust and perfectly done. They have vegan cheese as an extra. - Inderpreet Singh
Everything is delicious but the homemade tonic gin and the pizzas are out of this area code good. - Devin Sandoz
Location, Location, Location. Large theaters, great movie selection. This is my favorite bar-none. - Tivon
If you go before a game get there early to have dinner/lunch. The crab sandwich, crab salad & onion rings are great. Make sure you save room for ice cream, the selection is FANTASTIC! - Ariadna Badalamenti
Karaoke on Sundays, fun trivia nights and acoustic karaoke. Friendly staff and really great burgers - Alex Tenette
