50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Orinda

“Really good pizza. Has actually gotten better since they first opened. Firm undercarriage, minimal flop. Excellent crust and sauce. Cheese and toppings have noticeably improved since first opening so not sure if they've done something different. Had a pre-made salad for the first time tonight (Caesar) and it was excellent. If I could suggest any improvements it would be the beers on tap offerings- only 3 I think- Pacifico is basically water and goes better with Mexican food, would delete. Upgrade the Pilsner to Trumer, Sierra Nevada Pils, or similar. Have a legit craft IPA like Pliny the Elder, and a good ale (Fathers, locally owned is excellent). Canyon club isn't very good i'm sorry to say.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Yes, the pizza! Grateful for extra mushrooms instead of sausage!
But rarely do I review a salad: the apple endive salad with frozen/sliced/dehydrated prosciutto…MUAAA! The apples were perfectly sliced thin and the tarragon vinaigrette (not overdressed) with the blue cheese crumble and pistachios were proportioned and balanced to taste not visuals. Will try to recreate at home but next time, I’m…not…sharing!! 😂

Pizza is best straight out of the oven there and the service was actually service. ALL the staff were kind and patient.

[The only thing about the atmosphere was that as cute as the chairs are, bags slip off so please add hooks nearby.]“

“Excellent pizza with an excellent under carriage. Nice charred bit on the crust. They put fresh basil on the cooked pizza with adds a nice herbaceous finish. The sauce has a nice mix of sweet and sour flavors that pairs nicely with the pepperoni. The Parmesan shaved on top is great touch. The inside does have an industrial vibe.“

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

“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“

“Food was very good! We got the achari paneer pizza twist, the plant based Manchurian pizza twist, and an achari paneer quesadilla (they gave us this for free)! Everything was really flavorful, everyone was very nice and accommodating of our large group. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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 👍🏻“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 .“

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

“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.“

“I love their pizza so much !!!“

“chocolate croissants!!💖.“

“So this place has something going with the baguette sandwiches. There's not really anywhere within a 10 block radius to get anything that feels like an actual breakfast option that's not a sweet pastry . The problem is that they're served late and the veggie option runs out fast, usually with a mountain of ham & cheese remaining.

Would be cool to have two vegetarian options or just make more cause I'd eat these for breakfast and / or lunch any time.“

“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. ✨👍🏽✨“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“I was recommended Bloom pizzeria by my friends. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with excellent hospitality that made us feel instantly welcomed.

The owner himself was incredibly friendly, taking the time out of his day to chat with us and even share the story behind one of his best selling “Momo pizza”. If you’ve met the owner, you can tell how much passion and thought goes into everything he does.

The pizza itself was absolutely delicious! It was fresh, flavourful and unlike any other pizza I’ve had before. You can really taste the consistency of quality in every bite. On top of that, the layout was of the restaurant was amazing, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

As someone from the UK, my only wish is that Bloom Pizzera were in London so I could visit regularly. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and genuine hospitality.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

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

“We stumbled on this great family owned pizza shop after a comedy show when everything else was closing. They stay open until 10 PM! The owners are super friendly and mentioned they are doing lunch hours now too.
The pizza was incredibly fresh and delicious. They also make Indian inspired pies. We got a traditional pizza this time, but I will definitely be back for the chicken tikka next time. Highly recommend! 5 stars!“
