Awesome pizza.
Your pizza is amazing! The dough/toppings are for sure much better quality than any chain, tastes great, and the price is very reasonable. Also the online order system is easy to use
Is there any chance y’all could put in a bell to ring or something? I’d be WAY more likely to order more often (and for sure tip more) if picking up the pizza was a painless process
Edit: (5/9/25) Really encourage everyone to check the place out, it’s a nice local pizza shop for carry out. And I’m happy that maybe they’ll add a bell to ring in the future that hopefully doesn’t get stolen!
I really like this place but recently ordered a full pie and was given what looked like half new and half of a differently baked pie. Unsure if they were trying to get rid of an older pie or had a shaping issue. Was tasty but also a little strange
Pretty good crust ,perhaps a lil bit too thick .tried a vegan chz pie with mushrooms .the vegan chz they use isn't my favorite,but I get it's hard w vegan chz . Sauce sadly didn't have much flavor . I will get pizza here again .it wasnt bad by any means . score would be higher if the sauce was a lil more flavorable .And I might ask them to keep it in the oven and extra minute or two .No pail riders please ... Also its to go only and doesn't take cash
Fantastic detroit style pizza. First time there so I followed my usual rule of classic cheese but I imagine all their pizza is delicious.
This place rules!!!
Pepper special is the correct choice. They only take online orders so you can’t just pop in for a slice which is a bummer. Top 5 pizza in the bay.
My pizza was soggy the two young boys seem too young to know how to bake a pizza. Don't order your pizza on a Saturday it's best to order when the Hispanic lady is there.
The margherita pizza is fantastic. Similar in style to Di Fara in Brooklyn which is consistently ranked as the best in NYC, but Leaning Tower's is as good or better (and you don't have to wait two hours in line). In particular, the crust and sauce are amazingly flavorful. If I had one criticism it would be that the pizza can be a touch too salty. This is a new go-to for me.

Take out only. Online ordering is easy and pizza was readyExactly when promised. And it’s the best pizza I’ve had in Oakland so far!

Best pizza in Oakland. Take out only, unfortunately. But sometimes they have a few chairs out front.

I found it mediocre. Generally the flavors tasted off/strange, and it's not because I'm against a sweet red sauce. We ordered a 12" combination, the crust is pretty good but the sausage tasted weird, and the flavors just weren't great together. Even the pepperoni Detroit didnt taste that great (the pepperoni was fine) and was missing a lot of cheese in the middle, despite ordering extra cheese. Sorry I really wanted to like it but I didn't. My husband found it okay, but not great.

I love the pizza! I had a meat pizza with pepperoni and sausage. The sausage was the best I've ever had on pizza! Would definitely try other specialties of
