Great food and restaurant! It was a little slow to get my food, but it was worth the wait. Attentive service & comfortable restaurant. Good deal for a personal pizza. Thank you!

We had a great lunch at Little Star Pizza. They have great lunch specials but we opted for a 16” pizza half pepperoni and half classic. The pizza was cooked perfectly and you can tell everything is made from scratch. On top of that the chairs were comfortable and the service was phenomenal. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

The presentation of the dishes was beautiful and made the meal feel extra special.
Their fresh pastries taste like they came straight from a bakery in Europe.
Little star has been my favorite pizza place for a while, but tonight made me really want to leave this review
I noticed that the two pizzas, Classic and Little Star were equally popular among a party of meat eaters, even though one is veggie.
Little star deep dish is so good it will get people to accidentally go veggie without noticing 🥕
Bravo.

Deep dish pizza was delicious. The wings and meatballs were subpar and lukewarm.
Great food. Amazing pizzas. We ordered Deep dish with half all star, half chicken presto. Toasted veggies were delicious too!

Best Chicago style pizza in S F .
Get the deep dish classic, can't go wrong. Super nice crew and all the food is great but the classic is classic for a reason.

We ordered takeout to eat at Standard Deviant Brewing a few minutes away. The salad (the one with pecans and blue cheese) was really good and so was the meatball pizza. Highly recommend!

Little Star gets it. The deep-dish is rich, layered, and built to impress — not overhyped, just good. The service is solid, the vibe is relaxed but competent, and the value is real. You walk in with expectations, and you leave feeling like they were met — maybe even exceeded. That’s what happens when a place actually focuses on what matters.
UC Davis, on the other hand, is the exact opposite: all surface, no substance. The brochures are pretty. The campus talks a big game — “world-class research,” “innovation,” “student success.” But the moment you're inside the system, especially if you’re a smart, driven student, you realize what it really values: conformity, not excellence.
If you ask hard questions, push ahead, or show actual brilliance? You’re treated like a problem. Professors block opportunities to protect their own egos. Teaching assistants side-eye you for not staying in the academic comfort zone. It's not that you're wrong — it's that you're too right for their system. UC Davis doesn’t cultivate talent; it suppresses it.
And let’s talk about payoff: U.S. News reports a $54K median salary 10 years after enrolling. That’s not elite. That’s underwhelming, especially for a school that pushes itself like it's in the big leagues.
Little Star gives you what you pay for. UC Davis gives you marketing and disappointment.
Five stars to Little Star Pizza — for delivering what UC Davis only pretends to: quality, integrity, and something worth coming back for.
