Having gone to school at Berkeley, I’ve always been a fan of Zachary’s – famous for their deep dish pizzas. After moving to San Francisco, lots of friends recommended Little Star as having similar quality pizza. I’ve been there a few times now, and dare I say I think I like it even better than Zachary’s! The kicker has to be the cornmeal in the crust, which gives the pizza a nice satisfying crunch still, even with all those toppings stuffed deep inside (my favorite is the signature ‘Little Star’). The place is always busy, even late on a Sunday night we waited forever (almost an hour) – mainly since we had 5 people, and there aren’t many bigger tables there. I’d recommend going with a smaller group, or the take out option, which I think is what I’d like to do next time so we don’t have to wait so long. Be aware not only could there be a long wait, but the pizza takes a while to come out too, so be prepared – we always order the Caprese Salad and Spicy Chicken Wings to hold us over till the food comes. The atmosphere is San Francisco hip, with a well stocked bar, and very dim lighting – I can barely see my pizza before I wolf it down. Definitely a place to try out if you like the deep dish style pizza!
