$$$$ • Pizza Bar • Albany
Littlestar is the best pizza we know! We cross the bay to get to either Albany or SF. The deep dish, corn meal crust named Littlestar pizza is real food, not some greasy, cheap mozarella cheese atop soggy bread and acidic sauce. The tomato sauce is tasty, just the right balance. There's ricotta and feta cheese under it, and lots of vegetables and roasted garlic embedded in it. Very healthy, real food. The carbonara thin crust is a marvel of a white pizza with bacon, eggs with runny yolks, and scallions. The gluten free crust makes it extra crispy. Best meatballs between here and, maybe, Italy, with just a little char on them -- spicy and tasty, but not too much pepper, and just the right texture. Their salads could be equalled, but not beat. Go.
