Little Star Pizza

I’ve been eating here ever since they opened. This is still my favorite pizza joint in the world. From the crust to the topping, for me, this pizza is very much the best thing. Whenever I am in San Francisco - I always make a point to eat here. It is not traditional pizza so this isn’t for everyone, especially Italian food purists. But if you like a Chicago style pizza you will love this pizza!

In a desperate move to feed our kiddos, we sought out a local pizza joint and found Little Star Pizza closest to our route. The pizza did not disappoint! Jose helped us out and suggested the Detroit and a deep dish. Our kiddos loved the pizza, my wife loved the vibe, and I appreciated Jose’s awesome customer service (a lost art). Come here if you’re in the mood for a great pizza pie.

Overall a rather mid experience. The deep dish pizza was very tasty but not cheap. Took them 45 minutes however to bake on a not too busy weekday evening. Many things were not in stock, such as the Detroit style pizzas and many of the drinks, and the waitress barely spoke English.

We had a fantastic time at Little Star Pizza in San Francisco. The service was top-notch, especially from the general manager, Jose , who made sure everything was perfect. The deep dish pizza was incredible crispy crust, fresh toppings, and full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere, with Halloween decorations added to the great dining experience. Highly recommend this spot for delicious pizza and excellent service. My wife & I will definitely be back!

This place is a local favorite and rightly so! I really enjoyed their deep dish pizza (although I went way beyond my calorie limit) and have only good things to say about it. We got half and half - one half of the pizza was the little star original (stuffed with mushrooms and a few other veggies with a strong garlic under taste). The other half was their veggie offering which was my favorite - it had zucchini, mushrooms and a bunch of other vegetables which all complimented each other. Each slice was quite huge and one can be pretty full with two slices. The crust I assume was cornbread and was super delicious. The honey added a nice touch to it. We got a Mexican coke as well which complimented the pizza nicely. The space is nicely done although there weren’t too many people dining indoors. The service was excellent but it does take around 20-30 minutes to prepare deep dish pizzas. So be ready. Bathrooms were clean.

Loved their Mediterranean and veggie thin crust pizzas

Food was fine but I was born and raised in Chicago so I might be a bit of a pizza snob. The crust for the deep dish didn't have a ton of flavor. I think it needed a little tiny bit more butter and maybe Two minutes less (no more) in the oven. But the filling was DELICIOUS AND the wait staff were AWESOME.

We were the only customers in the restaurant. I don't understand why. Food was excellent and service was perfect. They have thin-crust pizza and also deep pizza, which is not very common. Good wings as well

For any pineapple pizza lovers I highly recommend the deep dish with pineapple. I got pepperoni and pineapple.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Food was really good, service was professional but also very relaxed. Even the water and the glasses they were in were great. Glad we picked this SF pizza spot. Ordered: Carbonara pizza Pesto chicken pizza All star deep dish Bbq chicken pizza 2lbs chicken wings Caesar salad (so good, great dressing ratio, great choice of lettuce, croutons yum) Everything was perfect.

This is my favorite pizza in the city by far. Better than Joyride Pizza (way better), A Mano, Doppio Zero, Delarosa, Fiorella, Amici's East Coast Pizzeria, and Montesacro Pinseria. (Although to be fair, only Joyride offers similar Detroit style pizza, whereas the others are traditional or thin crust style.) Super friendly staff. Amazing pizza! Their BBQ CHICKEN Deep Dish Pizza is a must. I have to come back to try their other dishes. Deep dish or Detroit style is the way to go here.

Wasn't expecting to see deep dish pizza out of Chicago (they also have Detroit + thin crust styles as well). Overall I think pretty true to authentic deep dish flavors. meatball deep dish - thought the flavor profile was quite good, really liked the blobs of ricotta on top. little star deep dish - this one wasn't anything particularly special, just a heavy tomato flavor with feta/spinach notes. white pie thin crust - would skip ordering this one, not a strong flavor profile. tasted like feta with vegetables. the caprese/salads taste quite standard for italian restaurants.

Nice little pizza joint in the mission. They have 3 styles of pies: deep dish, thin crust, Detroit. I tried the Italian combo deep dish pizza. It's on the thinner end of deep dish but still very tasty and hearty. They use a cornmeal crust that makes it crispy and delicious with sauce. Service was friendly and food came out reasonably fast.

This pizza place is AMAZING! The pizza is absolutely phenomenal & I also had their roasted kale appetizer, which was soooo delicious!!! I absolutely love this place and their service was so great. Our waiter was super attentive, kind, and funny! The overall vibe of the place was awesome & I will definitely come back again :) They also poured the biggest glasses of wine, which was such a great plus

Little Star makes some of the best pizza around. Their toppings are all very fresh, their crust is perfectly crisp, and the sauce is very well balanced. They make everything from scratch so you'll likely have a little bit of a wait. The lunch specials are cheaper because they reduce the size of their deep dish pizzas into a size where you won't have any leftovers. You can also get their pizzas in Detroit o thin crust varieties. They're a wonderful value, but every pizza is amazing so there's not a bad choice.

Absolutely delicious! Totally worth the price & finding parking! Even better when eating in restaurant.

I got to try Little Star as part of a friends' gathering. I apologize if any of the pictures are partly mislabeled - I didn't keep as good track of what's what for the meat-containing dishes. Here's my thoughts on the ones I ate: Cheesy-garlic dippers - It was basically just garlic bread. It was alright, didn't particularly stand out to me. I think it could've used stronger flavor overall. I didn't try it with sauce, just ate it plain. Roasted broccolini - I was surprised that it was kind of spicy, but that must've been from the chili flakes. It was just okay to me overall. Greek salad - This was also okay, but not particularly remarkable. If anything, I think it could've used even more cheese. I didn't try the vinaigrette/sauce. Vegetarian deep dish - This was the only one that I really liked a lot (probably would've considered this closer to a 4 star whereas the other things I tried, more like 3 stars) so I had a full slice of it. I felt it was flavored enough that it didn't taste only like tomato sauce. I didn't really like the mushrooms in it, though, and I found the crust to be very plain. A decent place to try if you are looking for the option to choose between deep dish, Detroit style, or thin crust pizza, but otherwise wasn't particularly remarkable out of all the pizza places I've tried.

Was looking for a spot for dinner that didn't have a 1 hour+ line, and Little Star Pizza popped up! We shared two pizzas between the four of us (Little Star + Classic), so each of us got about two slices per pizza. Each slice was packed with toppings, and the crust was also super crunchy. The staff here are very friendly and helpful in recommending pizzas. However, there is a bit of a wait for them to make the pizza, so i'd keep that in mind if you are in a rush. We waited about 30-40 minutes for our pizzas? Thought this place was pretty tasty though

This review is for my Doordash order. I ordered a 9" deep dish, half pesto chicken and half pepperoni, mushroom, and green bell pepper with a side of ranch. The wait was a bit long, but that is usually the case with deep dish pizza since they require a longer cooking time. By the time I got my order, the pizza was already lukewarm. Everything still tasted delicious though. I prefer the pesto chicken over the other half because I like how the pesto cut through all the marinara sauce. Surprisingly, it didn't feel too heavy either. I will dine-in next time to try everything fresh.

My family's go-to for deep dish, Chicago style pizza. Did you know they offer happy hour now?? Another reason to love this place. I've been to the other location in the city (along Divisadero) and they're always consistent. So, whichever spot you go to, you'll get the same, yummy pizza. I usually order take out and you'd expect the pizza to get soggy and drenched in grease on the way home, BUT NOPE. Not with this pizza. I recently discovered they use cornmeal for the crust, which explains the dense texture (I personally LOVE the texture). Also, if you enjoy "cold" pizza/next day pizza. This IS the pizza for that lol! The pizza is equally delish the day after. Anyway, eat a slice or two for me.

Deep dish pizza might not be something SF specializes in, but if that's what floats your boat I think Little Star can help you get that boat on the water. I've had the Classic Self titled little star deep dish and this bbq chicken one. It was over 2 years ago but I remember the classic little star deep dish being very very good. The BBQ chicken was just very solid. We are talking about a very heavy and dense pizza (aka she's a thick one), and I'm here for it. This is going to require two stomachs and both will be full. There's no lack of toppings or sauce. It's everything you want in a deep dish. I don't consider myself a deep dish expert but I know flavor when it's in my face. How deep are my feelings for you? Equivalent to this pizza. (4.3 Stars)

Little Star has the best deep dish pizza I've had in the Bay Area! I've been to all of their locations over the years (Valencia, Divisadero, Albany), and they've always been consistently great. The deep dish pizza here stands out because the crust is made with corn meal, which gives it an incredible texture. This also means the crust never gets soggy from all the tomatoes. I usually build my own deep dish pizza with calabrese sausage, mushrooms, and green bell peppers or broccolini. I've also ordered the Little Star, Classic, All Star, and Pesto deep dishes before. If you can't decide which pizza to get, you can also ask for half-half. You really can't go wrong with any of the deep dishes here!

I was originally going to order a thin crust pizza but checked the reviews and it seemed like everyone recommends the deep dish and the reviews were great. I custom ordered a 12 inch deep dish pie with salami and cheese because my wife loves salami but doesn't care much for the other meats. The pie was very cheesy and the crust is very different from a thin crust! I regret only adding salami because I feel like the other house pies with other meats and toppings would have made this pizza way more delicious. The crust was a little dry and hard, and the pizza had plenty of cheese and sauce.(I wish I added much more toppings) I will be returning to try one of their house deep dishes!

Reviving cold pizza turned into a tangled mess, quite literally. Despite careful attempts to reheat it, the slices ended up stuck together, making it nearly impossible to separate without destroying the toppings. Each bite became a struggle, as the once distinct flavors melded into a confusing mishmash. While cold pizza can sometimes be a treat, this experience left me wishing I had just ordered something fresh instead.

When going for deep dish pizza, it's hard not to compare to the authentic places in Chicago, especially given how popular Little Star is. However, I think this places makes a fantastic representation of the mid-west favorite that I've started to come around to. We ordered: * Cheesy Garlic bread - 8/10: the bread was fluffy and crispy, but funny enough I think there was a little too much cheese * Meatballs - 7/10: tasted like homemade meatballs with great flavoring * Italian Combo (thin crust) - 5/10: the most similar comparison would be to frozen pizza as it had this strange crunchy crust that I didn't like * Classic (deep dish) - 9/10: super delicious sauce with a buttery crust made this my favorite Overall, the pizza here was great and definitely worthy of a stop if you're craving deep dish.

Although I do enjoy their deep dish, I cannot recommend anyone going here! My partner wanted deep dish and we were going to try the other Little Star location due to the issues we had last time here. However with the other location closing earlier, we took our chance at giving the Valencia spot another try. We had an even worse experience this time!!! It was a bit late in the night so we were the only ones ordering. The other customers seemed to all be finishing up or eating already so it was not busy. There was a particular table that was causing a nuisance with their kid running around to other tables and play fighting. Normally I wouldn't put this on the restaurant but I found out they were friends with the waitress and were lingering around even after they had obviously finished eating. The adults and the kids were now walking back and forth, shouting, FaceTiming people while next to our table, acting like the restaurant was a hang out spot. The worst part? One of the guys at that table poured his beer back into the can to take it to go! (I posted a picture). Not sure if he brought his own beer or what was even going on. While this was all happening, another staff member was mopping so we had to sit in a bleach smelling restaurant while trying to eat. I felt nauseous. The smell was so strong! The waitress was too busy talking to their friend at that table, along with another friend that came in to chat near the kitchen so she never asked if we needed anything or refilled our waters. I had to drink my partner's water. I really didn't think our experience could get even worse than last time but wow. I've had better and more pleasant experiences picking up pizza at a Costco and eating it at the food court. At $40+ a pie, it is unacceptable for this restaurant to run this way. I've also had separate feedback from two other friends and they both had the same disappointing service experience and mentioned they would not come back.

Updating. We ordered pizza and it was way too salty. It was only cheese and olives so not sure how it was that salty. Really not good. Salad was good but spicy. I feel like the crust was also nit like it used to be and overall was disappointed with quality.

This is how door dash delivered my pizza. Little star is great pizza but when delivered like this, no pizza is good pizza. Was offered an $11 credit for a $26 pizza. Got them up to 17$ but what kind of customer service is this?

A worthy deep dish pizza in San Francisco! I usually only ever see thin crust pizza in the menu, and was very excited to see a large selection of deep dish pizza here. I made a reservation for 4 for 7:30p on Friday and was seated in 5-10 min. Drinks- 3/5. One of my friends ordered a glass of wine, and the other 3 of us got the mojito. Decent, but came out of a can so nothing too special. Roasted cauliflower- 5/5. absolutely delicious! I could eat this all day All star deep dish pizza- 3/5. one of our friends raves about this so we got it in a large. A bit salty for my taste, but it's PACKED and would be great for meat lovers out there Little star deep dish pizza- 10/5. our table favorite! Get it with the roasted garlic. Bursting with flavor, cheesy as heck, crust is amazing.

Ordered the Detroit style white pie and california pizzas, both were delicious! Detroit style meant the pizza was rectangular and had more of a bready, foccacia-like texture. Keep in mind that ordering this style involves a bit more wait time to prepare (~ 30-45 minutes for us). The white pie was a bit heavy on the cheese, but would recommend for garlic lovers. Definitely would order the california pizza again - the pesto + sundried tomatoes combination was absolutely divine. We also had a side mixed salad, which exceeded expectations - the balsamic, walnuts, and gorgonzola cheese elevated this above most ordinary salads.

First time at this highly acclaimed pizza spot in the Mission, it lived up to the hype. Located on a corner at 15th & Valencia, it's a large bright space with lots of seating and easy to make a resie on Yelp. Bonus that Groupon was have a special so got a $40 coupon for $24. We started with a large Greek salad which had nice amounts of olives, feta, onion. Three of us ordered a small deep dish Classic with a small Detroit style Italian combo, both loaded with meat. The deep dish was the best we've had in SF, buttery crust and not too sauce heavy. We like the Detroit a lot, with crust similar to focaccia with charred edges. We even had enough to bring four slices home. Topped by two glasses of Chianti, the meal was $65 after discount. Parking is tough with all the parklets but it's worth the drive. The staff were friendly.

My friend and I stopped in for lunch around noon on a Tuesday. Service was great and food was excellent. The restaurant is clean and open. I had a personal deep dish and side salad which was the perfect amount of food. My friend got the small Detroit style and broccolini. She enjoyed them both and had half her pizza left for later.

Our family had really poor service picking up our to go order. The order took over 40 minutes to prepare, when I arrived to pick up the food the staff was snotty and disrespectful. Then food itself was poor, the pizza crust was overcooked but somehow the deep dish contents were undercooked and lacking in flavor. I am from Chicago and this was one of the worst deep dish pizzas I've ever had.

Decent pizza. But it's very expensive... I paid almost 30$ for a small thin crust pie ... but it's better than the other thin crust pizzas in this neighborhood

First time visit this Little Star location and it didn't miss! I've tried their thin crust pizza as well as their deep dish - while both are delicious, I'm still a fan favorite of their deep dish. This visit I also tried their little gem caesar which ended up being one of the best I've had in the city! The service is always great, came in on a late Sunday evening and there was no wait so that was great! Parking can be a bit hard here in the Mission so just something to keep in mind.

I didn't know, but now i do. You can choose two different pizzas in one pie. Half half. I had the spring special with broccolini and fennel sausage. That fennel sausage was so tasty. The other was Mediterranean with artichoke hearts (generous with their artichoke hearts), less so with the chicken. I can't even recall if chicken came in their Mediterranean pizza. We had deep dish. I wish people would just drop their comfort zone and take a chance and try their deep dish. It's never greasy and always crunchy. Service was great as usual. We even got some honey packets to eat with the crust. Yum. We started with arugula salad and creamy goat cheese. We added this to our pizza. Belisimo.

We ordered 2 pizzas on a BOGO deal on DoorDash. Pepperoni and Sausage as show on the pizza box tag. Both of the pizzas were completely covered in pepperocinis and raw jalapeños. Not just a few accidental peppers, these pizzas were covered in the !! We called and they took our number down and said a manager might call us back. When we call back to get replacement pizzas a week later they didn't have our info. We typically love Little Star but after this we won't be ordering again.

I am no longer a San Franciscan and now identify as an out-of-towner. I was staying with a native friend and said I would take him anywhere he wanted to eat. He had asked if I liked Detroit style pizza and I had admitted that I had never had it before. So we went to Little Star Pizza on Valencia in the Mission District. For starters, it was raining that night. San Francisco looked beautiful; a clean and freshness only brought about by waters from heaven on the buildings, streets, and vegetation. I was driving and managed to get a spot one block from the restaurant. We did not have a reservation, but were seated in a corner next to the window. The place had about 3 or 4 empty tables. Diners were engaged in different states of meal consumption. There was a television that was showing some kind of basketball event... not a game per se... someone named Stephen Curry throwing basket balls from a distance. We were given a menu and told them that we weren't drinking. The drink menu still managed to migrate towards us. We ordered burrata caprese as an appetizer and then got the Detroit style deep dish Italian combo with some extra toppings. The service was a bit on the slow side. I believe if you are ordering appetizers, it is appropriate to have a decent waiting period between them, but in this instance, everything was slow in arriving. The food did come and it was served at an appropriate temperature. The toppings were provided as ordered and there were no surprises. I was a little put upon by some of the patrons, however that is beyond the scope of the restaurant. I went to the restroom and when I had returned, a little girl at the table next to ours was staring at my host. There is nothing unusual about him except that he has long, frosted hair. The girl creeped me out so I made sure to block her view for the rest of the meal. There was a pizzeria on the other side of the street that seemed to be doing no business. Considering that the weather was damp and cold and ugly, the restaurant was holding its own. As an easterner by birth, I would say that this establishment puts out a prime quality product. I would certainly and gladly return for another meal at this restaurant!

Spacious and large party friendly. We snagged four pizzas for a group of 12 and left pretty full and satisfied. We originally planned for four and double checked to see if there was a recommendation for our party - waitress told us four and she was correct. Ask in case you're unsure! They do allow half and half pizzas as well. They also have a few outlets, something I've been paying attention to since snagging an electric scooter. Half Cheese Half California Thin Crust - the California was very interesting and an explosion of flavors, unique for a pizza. Sun dried tomatoes and arugula make up the bulk of this pizza and it really is like some sort of salad pizza that tastes healthy but is also a fantastic option for vegans, vegetarians, and pescatarians who are unsure what to order. Highly recommend as our party had a few dietary restrictions and loved this one as well. BBQ Chicken Thin Crust - Pretty standard BBQ chicken, though very light on the BBQ sauce which I appreciate. I usually dislike the overload of sauce so this would be one of the better BBQ chickens I've had. Jalapenos here were not spicy at all. Little Star Deep Dish - somewhat deep dish, but a little unique as the crust took up more space and the contents were more mild. Lack of meat helped prevent the pizza from being too heavy. Similar to the California, we opted for this due to dietary restrictions in our party and it seems like a signature being the name of the restaurant. Wonderful choice. Mediterranean Deep Dish - this is the more realistic deep dish experience. Heavier contents buried in sauce and cheese for the real experience. Tasted vastly different from the Little Star despite looking the same. I would prefer more meat but still tasty.

Little Star Pizza makes me wish I had a bigger stomach. Deep dish is the way to go. I've never been to Chicago so I can't speak the authenticity but damn it's good Pizza. I've never had their flat pies or anything else because I don't get up to the city much anymore so when i do I want something I can't get at hike and a true deep dish is missing in my area. I've eaten here when it's slammed and ive eaten when it's dead and each time the customer service was great. The dining room is nice. It's like if a fancy Italian restaurant and a pizzeria had a baby.

it's important to note that Little Star Pizza offers one of the Best Deep Dish Pizzas in San Francisco, it's been my destination of choice for years. But for a limited time and hours they are also offering Detroit Style Pizza as a Special via Uber Eats at $10 each. BTW, @Vanessa O., thank you for mentioning this in your Yelp! As for the Detroit Style Pizzas they were really good. The Menu provided 4 options today, Original (combo), BBQ Chicken that included Jalapeño, Pepperoni, and Cheese with each Pie serving 2-3 (6 slices per Pie). I ordered the Original & the BBQ both of which had a classic Detroit Crust without being Oily. They both had character, a nice crust with the BBQ being more distinct but that was expected given the aggressive nature of BBQ Sauce & Jalapeño Peppers. If your able to access this special via Uber Eats during Restaurant hours I'd recommend checking it out. I spoke to the manager and it should be made available for about another week. As for my pickup it was about 10 minutes delayed, but that just gave me a chance to chill. Btw Little Star has a nice Dinning Room, Great Food & Staff, just plan ahead to deal with the parking it gets tight.

My friends and I got an appetizer and a Chicago style deep dish. Pizza took a while to cook (as stated on the menu) but was very comforting and filling. Service was a little slow, but overall the servers did a good job. Plenty of seats in the restaurant. Delicious and would recommend!

First off, I want to acknowledge that servers and restaurants have off days and I hope to comeback and try this place again under different circumstances . The Service: Prior to getting sat, the host was pretty dismissive to me and a few other people standing in line. There was open seating at the bar that could have been utilized but when asked about it, I was told that is being used for servers' sidework. On the other hand, my server was super nice and accommodating. (unfortunately I didn't get her name). However, I could tell that the entire staff was frustrated as they were running around anxiously to greet and serve guests. I believe it had something to do with the DoorDash promo they were running that day. The food: i got the Meatball Deep dish pizza. The taste was actually really good. I love the house-made ricotta, and the cornmeal crust was phenomenal. However, there was barely any meatballs in the pizza. Overall, there was a lot of promise but I would like to see a few changes before I'm ready to give Little Star pizza another chance.

Let me preface this review with a disclaimer: I'm an absolute sucker for Midwest-style Pizza: Detroit Style, Deep Dish, Tavern style- you name it. When I heard that there was a Deep Dish pizza scene out here in the Bay Area I was definitely skeptical. But, my curiosity and love for deep-dish pizza brought me to Little Star while my brother was visiting and boy am I glad I went here. We went here on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was fairly empty. My brother and I ordered the wings and a large build-your-own pizza with Sausage, jalapeños, and black olives. The pizza did take a little time to make but the end result was not disappointing in the slightest. The pizza we got was almost perfect - it was covered in a delicious red sauce and the jalapeños that they used gave the perfect bite of spice. Also - the cornmeal crust was something I wasn't used to but I did enjoy - it gave the pizza some much-needed structural integrity that deep dish is often criticized for lacking. So far the best pizza I've found in SF has been midwestern styles - I will definitely be revisiting this place again (especially since it's so close by).

Came here on a impromptu lunch and we had such a great time! First off it wasn't busy and seating was open! As we sat a bigger party came in but still service and food was great, the server even came out to tell us they were a little behind. It's easy to locate and even though parking can be a challenge it is worth it! This place delivered to our hospital during covid and what a better way to help them by coming back with dine in now available! We had drink, pizza and apps and all were delicious till the last bite! Thanks Little Star- we will be back

Amazing pizza and amazing service! My husband moved away from SF and we tragically don't have anything like Little Star in Utah, so obviously we need to stop in every time we visit. On our last visit, the manager Jose suggested we take a half-baked pie home since we were headed to the airport. He whipped up a classic and froze it for us. We cooked it up a week later and it was so good! Not sure how it would do on a longer flight, but we had the pie back in the freezer within 5 hours, and cooked it up a week later. Jose is a rock star and if you're in SF, you need to visit Little Star -- best deep dish we've ever had (and we've had every pizza in Chicago).

Very nice people working here!! Casual restaurant where you can also just sit at the bar or order to go. Ordered all star where the bread was on point but the cheese was a little hardened...the roasted garlic was prob the best part!

I tried Little Star deep dish pizza yrs ago before going to an Outsidelands music festival with a friend and haven't had a chance to come back ever since unfortunately. I've been looking forward to coming back. So when I went to a Giants game recently I made a plan to come here afterwards. Their deep dish is amazing and it's the best deep dish I've ever had, there's nothing like it where I live in Sacramento area. We started with the burrata and garlic crostini and they were so delicious. The tapenade wasn't overpowered with olive because of the sundried tomatoes, they were perfect. We shared a 12 inch deep dish half little star which, is like a meat lovers combo. Then the other half I created my own with ricotta cheese, fresh basil, pepperoni, sundried tomatoes, and pesto. Both sides were delicious but, of course I prefer my side. Lol But even the little star, usually I'm not a fan of a meat lovers but this was delicious. The meat wasn't too much, overpowering, or too greasy, it was tasty. They have Mexican coke and not fountain sodas which, is better anyway since Mexican coke is delicious. Their service was awesome too, our server was Jennifer and she was great. I look forward to finding any excuse to come back when visiting in the area again.

The food was great! And very affordable. We got the deep dish in two flavors- both good and filled to the brim with cheese. We also shared a salad which we all loved. It was a good balance to the pizza. Service was quick and friendly. Good place to get a bite with friends.

This was my first time trying deep dish pizza and I totally understand the hype now! I ordered a 12" deep dish pizza (half Classic, half California) online for ~$39 and it was ready in 20 minutes. I love the taste and texture of the cornmeal crust at Little Star and I feel like it helps tie the flavors together. I was also impressed how well it was able to support the pizza. Both the Classic and California were very distinct in flavor, but I enjoyed how both sides of the pie were consistently packed with the veggies and toppings. The best part about this pizza is also that it tastes just as good when you reheat it for leftovers. I would definitely come back here again if I ever have a deep dish pizza craving!

The deep dish pizza here is good and they also have a great selection of salads and apps. We usually order the Little Star deep dish, the Goddess or Caesar salad, spicy wings and meatballs -- All of which is solid. I've tried their thin crust pizza and it's fine, but you can definitely find better thin crust in SF. Service is also good, but takeout time can sometimes take longer than they say so be prepared to wait a bit.

The best pizza I have ever had. Each pie is packed with flavor and crisp crust. I love this place. The only pizza I actually have genuine cravings for.

A wonderful place for pizza and great beer selection. Great location in the mission. Service is always great!

My boyfriend and I came towards the end of the night, and we were given excellent service! Perfect place for a date night or a small get together with friends! I ordered a deep dish pizza and it was delicious... my boyfriend got a thin crust pizza and it was just as good. We both had leftovers and the crust held up until the next day!

Sorry 'bout the photo, there's more than one wing on that plate (originally, that is). Food: good!!! Surprisingly, the restaurant was pretty empty today! Service: friendly, efficient. Ambiance: nice???

I think this is my favorite pizza in the city. It's a little bit pricey but it's very good particularly the cheese and sauce and crust.....you can just tell it's really high-quality ingredients.

I love this pizza spot. I'm picky when it comes to good pizza and I think this place is up there. To be fair, I'm a deep dish person so that's what I'm reviewing. I liked that you could add items to a pizza and have their specials on deep dish or thin crust. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. The service was always quick and kind. I plan on coming back whenever I need my pizza fix.

TL;DR great experience when eating in, lack luster when delivered I've been to this establishment multiple times. Usually we eat there and have a great time. We ordered some for deliver this time instead and we're disappointed. After eating a couple of slices we noticed that there was a lack of sauce and we're eating mostly crust. We also asked for olives in our order and there were barely any. Needless to say we will probably only ever dine in and not order deliver again m.
