50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Orinda

Always a great selection of lunch slices and the Moose Team is committed to the Craft of Pizza!“

“My daughter and I passed by Zamboni's Pizza many times when we were in Orinda shopping at Safeway, which is across the street, in the Shopping Center. I always wanted to find out how Zamboni's Pizza tasted, but we never had the extra time to stop by till now, and I must say that it is the most tasty Pizza ever. My daughter asked me if I wanted a slice or if I wanted the traditional large pizza or a personal pizza. I chose to sample the pizza, so I opted for the personal Pizza. They offered a variety of Pizza on the menu, but I told my daughter that I felt like having the simplest one possible. So, she ordered me the regular cheese personal Pizza. The crust wasn't deep dish, but it wasn't thin either, it was puffy, it was not salty, and the cheese was not salty at all, which is what I loved about this pizza. For those who have blood pressure can definitely drop by Zamboni's Pizza, which I definitely recommend. My daughter, to whom I offered a piece, loved it too. So, we're definitely ready to order the large size Margherita Pizza on our next visit. Street parking is available or one can park in the Safeway parking lot and cross the street to Zamboni's Pizza. That's what my daughter and I did. We stopped at Safeway to buy our fruits and veggies and then dropped in at Zamboni's. Orinda is beautiful. The drive to Orinda is so relaxing. There is traffic in the mornings before working hours and in the evenings after work. I have taken photos for you to view.“

“Located not far from the Orinda library, easy parking. As you enter, you are greeted by yummy smells that instantly reminds you of pizza and pasta. Friendly greeting. I loved the private booths and the dining area overlooks a trail with a woodsy window views. Lighting is friendly on the eyes. Our server was Sasha, who was friendly, warm, engaging, and competent. We order the soup of the day, a spinach salad to share, a large pizza , and ravioli. The sauces are all made in house. The pizza crust was super tasty with a good crumb and chew . Plenty of leftovers. We ended preventing with the Nutella cheesecake. There were families and locals. Good music. Recommend for a casual evening out or for take out. Got the impression this was family owned and they hire local students, so bring the support!“

“Love the live music of the Ripplers And Secret Sauce!“

“This was our first time. Food was authentic Northern Italian. My family are from Le Marche’. The pizza & polla Parmagano was loved by our teenagers. And the Gnocchi was cooked to order per my request. Definitely adding this to my top 3 restaurants“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“There's a lot of great pizza in the Bay and State Flour is right up there. The ambiance, service, and starters are too.

I went in with a friend during a busy summer Saturday last month and we were lucky to get a walk-up table without a wait. One downside: they don't take reservations. Elmwood gets busy, especially when something at Cal brings in the parents/alumni.

Our server was great. We asked for the sausage to go on half of the pizza and they happily obliged. We didn't think about the salad. The server intuited that would be desired and simply put the dried prosciutto for the delicious salad when it came out so my dinner mate could enjoy it just as much as I could. When asked something specific about the wine, she said she was newer & didn't know but would ask someone else. Much appreciated.“

“Update: why did June's take away the 1 pizza that made them so popular??? The margarita was probably my favorite pizza in the Bay area. But instead of just creating a third pie, he decided to remove the one pie that made his business what it is today and replace with a tomato pie with a few burrata blobs. To me that is terrible business practices and hence why I will go to Mama's boys instead for a cheese pie. Craig, you can have more than two pizzas!! Please bring back the margarita. It's what made you what you are today. It's what I told everyone about for the past 2 years. Everyone!

Old review: By far one of the best pizza joints in the Bay Area if not the best. Love love the Margherita pizza pie! The cheese, sauce, sourdough crust - Perfection. Spinach special is also great. The Margherita is probably 9.9 / 10. One bite. Everybody knows the rules.“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“This place is absolutely incredible! I ordered pizzas for a big family ranging from 12 to 90 years old and we were all ecstatic!

I love the way the ginger comes through in the tandoori. The plain cheese is like a little black dress; goes with everything and everyone loves it! The old guy kept saying, “This is delicious!” and the kids gobbled it up.

It was also lovely to meet the owner. This is going to a new family favorite for sure!!“

“Thank you for supporting local nonprofits!“

“How am I the first person to review this place?? Laura is one of the best in the industry. For those that don't know, she was the right arm for Toni Gemignani, arguably the most famous pizza maker on the planet, through a whole bunch of his concepts since the beginning of both of their careers. She opened her own place in Berkeley and it's great to see her continuing to thrive at the level she did with Tony. Also the food is really good. The sleeper here might be the pasta which gets as much love as the pizzas.“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“I’m a pizza fanatic and this is hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had. Better then anything in NY and Connecticut (Pepe’s, Sally’s). The Brazilian was next level pizza“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“I absolutely recommend this place.“

“chocolate croissants!!💖.“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“Had a late lunch today and it was absolutely fabulous! Started with the Buratta Bruschetta , Ceasar salad and ended with The Meatball pizza ! Never disappointed!“

“This is our 4th time having Ellie’s Pizzeria. Our favorite so far is the cheese with the creamy garlic sauce . The all meat is amazing as well as the calzone. Can’t wait to try other things as everything we have tried has been fantastic. Highly recommend eating here 👍🏻“

“Went out of our way to make sure we tried it and have zero regrets. Solid NY pizza and staff was super friendly.“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“Lucia’s is our favorite pizza restaurant, and a fav in general. The owners and staff are super nice. And they really take food restrictions seriously. One of our family is celiac and so we started going for an amazing GF pies!! But everything is delicious. Reservations are always a good idea here. We even had them cater a milestone birthday party with their super cute wood-fired traveling pizza oven.“

“This was a late dinner find. I walked in about an hour before closing ordered one of the traditional pizzas, and it was excellent. The service and staff were friendly and extra helpful. This is an excellent place and the traditional options“

“Best pizza ,I love how the crust is thin and crispy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love their pizza so much !!!“

“Gran Milan is THE place to get the most delicious foods on the planet!!! I recently ordered mini sfogliatelles, cannolis, (3) meter long pizzas n wonder focaccia bread to make sandwiches and their famous olive bread sticks!!! Thanks for the beautiful foods and service!!! I highly recommend Rufo’s place for your next catering! I haven’t seen sfogliatelles outside of NY!!! Love this place!!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“There's some slight confusion because ordering from "Slice of Hollywood" from Eat24, you get pizza from Pizza Nation, but that's no big deal. The food is GOOD. Best wings I've ever had delivered, and the pizza is really good as well. plenty of toppings, and so far I've only had great experiences with them. Great combo price deals too!“

“Exceptional neopolotan style pizza. The sauce is light, but held a depth of flavor that lingers in the aftermath. The crust is near perfection. Please don't call it burnt. it's not. Burnt implies mistake. THAT crust is no mistake. I would highly recommend you sit down and eat it right out of the oven. Plus, the outdoor seating in a beautiful rose garden is a nice touch.“

“City Center Pizzeria brings a fantastic, high-energy slice of classic comfort straight to Oakland. The casual, welcoming setup is perfect for a quick lunch break or a relaxed dinner. From their perfectly crispy crusts and rich marinara to the generous, high-quality toppings, every pizza is baked to absolute perfection. I can't wait to visit again.“

“Rolled up at 7:20 AM on a Saturday and found parking very easily on the street in front and practically no line. Caneles weren't available but I don't know if that was because someone had managed to clean shop in 20 minutes or they weren't ready yet. We got:

Quiche Lorraine: excellent, stood up well to microwave reheating and really appreciated the saltiness from the ham, was a full meal with some fruit and a slice of the walnut loaf on the side

Chocolate almond croissant: excellent texture and sweetness

Pain au chocolat: it was good but probably wouldn't buy again simply because I think other things taste better and are more worth the calories/money

Cardamom and walnut scone: my sleeper hit, ordered it because I saw someone else raving about it and wow wow wow so unassuming looking but maybe my favorite?

Ham and cheese cup: my husband's favorite; I had doubts about the hard boiled egg inside as I'm not generally a fan but it wasn't chalky in the slightest

Walnut bread: texture is perfect, soft yet with great body, one of the best loaves I've had in a long time

Caneles: didn't buy this time but have before and they are *chef's kiss*, perfect little hint of alcohol, burnt (but not bitter) sugar taste

Also bought Paris-Brest but that's for dessert tonight.“

“We usually get delivery, but have eaten at the restaurant a couple of times, and it's been a comfortable experience.

The food, though—the food is soooo good! The pizza is always a good choice, and I often find myself going for the rigatoni pasta with Alfredo sauce and chicken. It's cooked perfectly, and it comes with garlic bread!

The salads are a good size for sharing, and we usually order the Caesar.

They offer halal meat options, which is not a consideration for me, but it's good to see that they are conscious of their customers' needs and preferences.

The people are really nice, too!“

“North Beach Pizza has the best GF pizza in the bay area. It's even better than my homemade GF pizza, and you can't beat the service. North Beach Pizza is great for family dinners with gluten free pizza and salads.“

“This is the best place for eating in San Leandro and aokland, the team is super kind and super friendly. I like their pizza very much, it is halal , for family and clean . I recommended this place highly .“

“ok this pizza is better then most pizza places cuz with the pizza u get to cook it ur self and its already made for u and all u have to do is go down there and pick it up and every time i go there with a friend who ever is in the front is very nice and i would recommend it to any one who lives in alameda“

“Ok ok ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok“

“Always enjoy our time!! The best food ever!!!!“

“I had an amazing experience here! The people are the sweetest and the food is so tasty. They have a great selection and are very accommodating to your likings. It is also very clean and comfortable to be at. They also offer halal and vegan options which is really sincere and genuine of them. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: They love children here and are so sweet to them!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this location, every staff member I’ve met is always so kind and helpful, the food is AMAZING, and they’re quick with getting your order ready! I always get a pepperoni, light sauce, extra cheese, extra pepperoni, and the way they layer up the toppings is always perfect! The consistency is spot on at this location, I’ve always loved Mountain Mikes and I’m so glad we’re lucky enough to have such a great place all around to grab a bite to eat. We will always keep coming back to this location!!“

“Wonderful food and friendly service; indoor/outdoor dining“

“Struck up a conversation with the owner about their dough (it’s fantastic) and he gave me a ball to take home!! All aspects of the pizza I ate were phenomenal (crispy crust, tangy pesto, rich mozzarella) but the people working there are what take it over the top. Would give 6 stars if I could“

“We often drive all the way from Napa County just for Zachary’s deep dish pizza, and it’s always worth the trip. Their deep dish is seriously the best we’ve had. The crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings are always on point. The staff at this location is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Definitely worth the drive, and we’ll keep coming back!“

“I grew up in a southern Italian household, so I definitely know what a good pizza is. I decided to customize my order and got the Manhattan pie with added black olives and anchovies. It turned out to be an absolute flavor bomb.The execution on the crust is flawless. You could scrape the bottom of this pizza with a knife and hear how perfectly crispy it is. It is not soggy at all, and it has just a little bit of wilt at the tip when you fold it—the true sign of a perfect slice. The salty punch from the anchovies and olives paired perfectly with the base, and adding chili flakes created the most amazing, savory heat. If you love authentic, bold, and savory flavors, I highly recommend trying this exact combo at Bloom Pizza!“

“La Val’s Pizza in Albany is such a wonderful local gem! The pizza is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their Indian-style pizzas are absolutely delicious — especially the Butter Chicken Pizza and Chicken Tikka Pizza. The flavors are unique, rich, and so satisfying.

The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can really feel the family-owned atmosphere. The service is great, the portions are generous, and there are plenty of options for both pizza lovers and vegetarians.

If you’re in Albany and looking for delicious pizza with something different, I highly recommend giving La Val’s a try. You won’t be disappointed! 🍕❤“
