“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!“

“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“

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

“Apple endive salad was a perfect mixture of flavors and textures. I would call this a destination salad because I would drive to eat this again :). Also had the Casanova pizza, which was also very tasty. The crust was perfect and had just the slightest char for added flavor. I will be back for the salad as well as to try many of the other pizzas. This place is legitimately yummy.“

“Easily one of the best pizza shops in the Bay. However, the girl at the cash register needs to learn how to manage and triage customer requests better.

I asked for extra burrata on my pizza and was completely willing to pay for it. She looked at me dumbfounded, as if I had asked her to send a rocket to the moon. She said it was the first time anyone had ever asked for that and that she wasn’t sure if she could do it. So I asked if she could get someone who could figure out how to charge me for an extra ball of burrata. She basically ignored the request and said nothing else.

That kinda bugged me. If you don’t know how to do something, fine, but ask someone who does. I’m literally standing there offering to give you more money. I probably would’ve paid up to $8 for this ball of cheese. Make shit happen!

She did ultimately give me extra parm on the side, but she also wrote “extra cheese” on my ticket, and holy hell, they made the pizza look like Zermatt after a snowstorm with the amount of parm they grated over it.

Still would’ve preferred the extra ball of burrata…

They need someone at the register who is a little more sociable and willing to figure shit out for the customer instead of just shutting down when someone makes a slightly unusual request.

I’ll absolutely come again because the pizza is that good, but goddamn, I won’t be making any more complicated requests like “can I pay you for an extra ball of burrata?” Apparently that gets you looked at like you just asked them to commit a war crime.“

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

“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!!“

“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 one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 👍🏻“

“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“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

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

“Thank you for supporting local nonprofits!“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“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 .“

“I love their pizza so much !!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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. ✨👍🏽✨“

“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!“

“Honestly one of the best pizza crusts I've ever had. I had the focaccia spring special pizza - with squash blossoms and burrata. The Pear Basil Gimlet is one of the best mocktails I've ever had. The brussels are dark brown and crispy and melty. Plus - LOTS of gluten free options!

I rarely have a meal where every single part of it is delicious. This place is a treat, I'd highly recommend it.“

“I absolutely recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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“

“ok so at first i didnt know this place was even a thing but the pizza we order was very good and there was code on our coupon and we used and it said we could get a free 2 liters bottle soda but we used it to knock down the price and so when we went to go pick up the pizza and we told the worker about the coupon and ect and they told us since we used the code to knock down the price if we wanted the bottle soda we would have to pay 5 bucks for it so we decided to leave the place and we arent coming back to this place“

“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!“

“Walked in on a Tuesday evening and the thin-crust pepperoni looked textbook — almost translucent in spots, with the cheese browned just right at the edges from a gas deck oven. The sausage came fennel-forward and crumbled, not pre-formed, which made a noticeable difference with each bite.

Prices sit around $17-18 for a 14-inch specialty, which is fair for the quality. The counter service was quick and patient, even when I asked for half-and-half toppings. The seating is simple — a few booths and tables with a clean, uncluttered vibe. No gluten-free crust here last time I checked, just the regular dough and a solid sauce that leans slightly sweet.“

“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 place is a bit deceiving because there is no sign stating Pizza joven, it says Pizza Louge. The staff were very friendly and generous with time and information. they welcomed me into the neighborhood since I am new to the Keller area and wanted to find local foods. I tried the pepperoni and vegetarian pizza slices. I'm really glad this place is here and it has a diverse menu. Not an eat in place and the location is busy with lots of diversions. I got the food to go.“

“Delicious pizza. Never soggy which happens often with veggie pizzas. Love the sauce and the crust is always crispy never doughy. Staff has always been happy and pleasant. Pinky’s is tops for pizza in Walnut Creek area!“

“all I can say is wow!! the best Italian food I e ever ate!! and they were kind enough to add a half a loaf of bread and a extra slice of pizza to my order I definitely recommend this wonderful place when your around town , thank you for your food !!!“

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

“Yo, I just went to this place a couple weeks ago and their pizza is on point! We had like a pesto chicken pizza and that shit smacked!! there wasn’t a lot of people so I liked that it was chill. It’s a good place to do karaoke and bring some friends to just eat chill and vibe. Definitely my new favorite pizza spot.“

“I love this place, I work right around the corner and always look up to getting some lunch there. They recently introduced Indian food bowls to the menu and it was sooo good, I got the butter chicken and it was amazing. Customer service is great they always make me feel welcome and the trust is there, I know I'll never leave disappointed and will enjoy my meals.“

“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! 🙂“

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.“

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