Little Star Pizza on Postcard

"Just because San Francisco isn’t exactly cranking out an abundance of deep dish pizzas doesn’t mean the style can’t thrive in the city. Thankfully, we have spots like Little Star in the Mission. The Chicago-style pies are meaty and filled with tangy tomato sauce. But what keeps us coming back is the buttery cornmeal crust you can easily cut into. Go for the classic with sausage and mushrooms, or the Little Star with ricotta and feta and call it a night, or build your own. These are some of the heartier pies in town. This spot also does thin-crust (with cornmeal), like a decent spicy calabrese sausage and Italian combo, but we'd advise you to go big." - Lani Conway

"Little Star Pizza serves both thin and thick crust so there's something for everyone and they do both variations perfectly. The always surprising daily specials change constantly according to seasonal offerings. They don't take reservations and only accept cash; there are two locations in San Francisco, including an outpost in the Western Addition."

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!

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.

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.

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.
