One of the elite pizza places in Oakland. Not better than Zachary's, but with a very nice full bar and just as kid friendly, it may edge out Zachary's in terms of the overall experience.
Diana LeónMarch 17, 2018Great Pizzas, great location, great ambiance! Love the option to personalized my pizza, gluten-free, and my guests can have their pizzas thin crust or deep fry. They have happy hour, too!
Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza, which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.
On weekdays they have individual sizes available in either deep dish or regular. Great cornmeal crust. Full Bar! Plenty of room. It's not a Little Star, it's "The Star".- Amazing pizza - the crust on the deep dish is crunchy goodness. Excellent cocktails, great atmosphere, often difficult to stop by - make a reservation.
Russell LMarch 27, 2015The corn bread crust works best with deep dish but the thin crust is passable. Would pick it over Zachary's any day. NB: the garlic bread is plain sourdough with ramekins of butter and roasted garlic.
Dena GoldbergMarch 23, 2015The pizza was cooked to perfection! It was the perfect balance of dough and crunch with so much flavor.
Cameron WilsonFebruary 22, 2014Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza. Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
Sharon P.March 16, 2015So incredibly addicted to this place. Sorry Zachary's, The Star is better. We often order pick-up and get the Gold Coast deep dish almost every time.
Steffie MoserJuly 13, 2013The table didn't fit two people but we made the best of it. The pizza as always is amazing. Remember it's 30mins for the deep dish.
Linda RomanSeptember 27, 2015The meatballs are good as well as the pizza and the wings got to order them crispy!!!! Definitely recommend
Sebastin KolmanMarch 1, 2018They have changed the menu and they dropped one of my favorites (The Telegraph). Even the quality has dropped. The last few visits have been underwhelming.
Marta TapperoMarch 24, 2017Service is very very nice! The cocktails are ok. The food is good, is just such a particular style that I think you can find better around. For the same price. Overall good, not fantastic.- Best deep dish pizza in the bay (sorry z) with great cocktails and local beers too.
Michelle AlexandriaOctober 29, 2015Pizza was amazing! The baked wings are delicious, must try! Warning: wings are on the spicer end.
Ellen McGrodyDecember 21, 2015Amazing pizza place! Lovely, crumbly crust, wonderful atmosphere, and great service!
Chloe CondonAugust 26, 2016Great for large groups! Accommodated us super late minute, and the pizza was amazing!
SherryJoonSeptember 1, 2013The broadway terrace pizza is amazing. We had it for dinner and woke up wanting to back for breakfast.
Frank KimDecember 15, 2013The spicy baked chicken wings were damn good. They got Linden Street Black Lager on tap too.
Craig WrightJuly 22, 2013I am a big fan of the Goddess salad and the Port pizza. The cocktails are good, and strong. :)
Lil MikeJanuary 22, 2014It's dark in here... use the light from your phone screen to read the menu & peruse the bold beer selections & skimpy salads
PaulDecember 17, 2013Had "the grand" deep dish pizza, I don't even particularly like deep dish but this thing was delicious!
Emmy AliceJuly 10, 2013Extremely yummy crust and deep dish toppings. I can't believe we ate the whole thing.
- Enjoyed some really good thin crust pizza. Adams Point x Broadway Terrace. Do it!
- Go for lunch and get a perfect sized personal lunch pizza. Slammin'!
dedi hubbardJuly 15, 2017I wasn't sold on balsamic on pizza until I was and I thank my server for this revelation.
