Open late for Alameda, with fantastic deep dish and thin crust pizzas. They left the doors open to improve fresh air circulation, so we needed to wear our coats. Very fresh, with attentive service and interested decor. Will return.

We have been taking out past few months and decided to try dining in again. We were given a nice table socially distanced from other guest. We had a large deep dish 1/2 classic & 1/2 pesto chicken, green goddess salad and wine. Food and service were excellent as always.

Solo dining. Sat at bar. Great, attentive server who was on it. Busy Sat night but not crowded. Food was excellent and very fast. Ordered the bread w garlic—toasty hot and delish! Had the chopped salad which was excellent. Did not have pizza but looked good from those I saw going to patrons. They also have a full bar/drink menu which it sounded like is a big part of their biz

We love pizza. We have been here before never had a problem. Worst experience we ever had in a restaurant. We got ignored for 35 min for nothing. There was a couple that sat next to us 15min after us, waitress took their order immediately. 10min after that they got their drinks and appetizer we walked out. Super bummed that our first date after we had our baby was ruined by this experience.

Very loud and difficult to hear. So loud waiter could not hear us. Brought us a pizza we had not ordered but had cancelled when someone in our party ordered something different. There was no children’s menu so had to order $17 cheese pizza for a. 5 year old. Waiter was nice but had asked for ranch dressing which came at the end of our dinner and than charged us. The pizza was very good but way too loud.

I guess due to Covid restaurants all over are suffering with not enough help. The food at the Star on Park as delicious as is any Star pizza restaurant in the bay area that I’ve tried. The waiter was frantic/hectic/drug driven possibly. Friendly enough, but crazed. Didn’t spend enough time at the table. But apparently he couldn’t. Recommend the hors d’oeuvres the beer the wine the cocktails the deep dish the skinny pizza it’s all yummy. Too bad marks have to come down due to the weird staffing.

Had a first date and decided to come to this place. When I arrived, they told me that they were only doing take-out orders because the kitchen pipes were broken. Needless to say, I never tasted a morsel of their food. It ruined my whole date night. Should have gone to the place I found in San Francisco.
