We're from out of town. After a day a the beach, we wanted to eat pizza. We arrived at one other pizza place in Alameda, but the wait time was 30 -45 minutes. I had 4 hungry kids. We searched for another restaurant and found Alameda Pizza. So happy we did! They had bigger pizza's and more food options. We ordered a XL pepperoni/ mushroom pizza and cheese ravioli added meatballs with pesto. Oh yeah, and a slice of cheese pizza for my toddler. DELICIOUS! Pizza crust was so soft! Toppings were perfect! Meatballs were super tasty! Everything was amazing! I rarely take pics of my food, but wish I took pics this time. We were all starving though. It looked like a masterpiece. We enjoyed everything so much, we ate it all. Most times we have leftovers. Not this time. To top it off, staff were super sweet. We felt welcomed. Great service is hard to get these days. Don't be scared of the old school feel inside. Took me back to my high school days, pizza place across from my school. To me, it was a sign the food was going to be delicious. I was right! Try this hidden gem out! You will not be disappointed! read more

We first ate here three years ago and loved it so much we went back multiple times. We were excited to eat here again, so we ordered as we were driving in and picked the pizza up on our way. The owner is quite nice, the sauce is perfect, toppings are average, but the crust was far too burnt for our liking. read more

Not worth stopping by as the pizza is soggy and lacked flavor. We were hoping for more read more

Decent pizza place that is a hole in the wall type of restaurant. You can get pizza by the slice and add different toppings. The minestrone soup was awful. I don't recommend that. There is no restroom for customers. Good for a quick meal. read more

My daughter and I walked into this pizza place during the 4th of July parade, and from the moment we stepped inside, the owner made us feel like we weren't welcome. He was standing by the door watching the parade and reluctantly came behind the register to help us. I asked if they sold pizza by the slice. Instead of being friendly or helpful, he answered in a cold, annoyed tone, explaining the starting price and that extra toppings would cost more. I said that was fine and asked how long it would take. He said 5-10 minutes. Since my son didn't want to wait, I politely told him we'd come back later and i said As we were walking out, I overheard the owner whisper to one of his employees, "He's just wasting my time." I turned around and said, "You're running a business. What do you expect?" He then rudely told me to get out. I've never felt so unwelcome at a restaurant. We came in intending to buy food, but the owner's attitude made it clear he didn't want our business. Customer service goes a long way, and unfortunately, this place completely missed the mark. read more

We had a yummy salad, and the thin crust pizza was moist, saucy, and meaty. The waiter was polite and attentive. All of the boxes were checked off. 4 stars. read more

The garden salad was fresh. The calzone with toppings of pepperoni and mushrooms was so delicious. The calzone had the right amount of cheese and the portion size was decent and reasonably priced. The proprietor who took my order only asked for payment after the food was prepared and not before which I thought was great customer decorum. I highly recommend this independent pizzeria in Alameda. read more

This is your basic hole-in-the-wall pizza place, which is completely fine in my book for weeknight takeout for the family or grabbing a quick slice if you're in the neighborhood. My issue is that they charge far too much for what you get. Their XL size pizza is 18", which is on the slightly smaller size (XL at New York pizza across the island is 20"). I paid $42.64 for an XL pizza with 2 toppings. In my book, that's a "premium pizza" price that I'd expect to pay from a place like Star or Marley G's, not from run of the mill takeout pizza. The pizza itself was fine but should have spent a little more time in the oven. read more

30 plus years serving Alameda. Good pizza, hidden gem. Get him to smile more . Family friendly environment.

Just called to ask if they had any daily specials. Just working in town trying to feed my guys and support local businesses. the gentleman that answered the phone answer was over the top rude. Said no we're not little Caesar's. I guess it's a Bay Area thing to be rude and unprofessional read more

I recently moved to Alameda and over the past months have been searching for new spots (pizza, taquerias, dim sum, tandoori, etc). The first month I was here, I lucked upon Alameda Pizza. Their toppings-to-dough ratio is perfect for me. I learned from the owner (nice guy!) that their delivery had became unavailable due to being short-staffed- he was doing everything himself. Fast forward to today and I was able to order delivery today (!) and had to stop myself from devouring the entire pizza. Thanks for the delicious pizza pie!! read more

A classic pepperoni pizza. No frills, all flavor. Quiet and casual pizza spot. We walked in for a whole pie and the gentleman who attended us was very kind! Within 15 minutes, he brought out a hot and fresh pizza. The ratio of everything was perfect. The crust was soft, but crispy at the same time and the sauce was slightly sweet which was a nice contrast to the spice in the pepperoni. This I was what a pepperoni pizza should taste like. I look forward to coming back! read more

Food was really good and the owner is a very nice fellow. Support your local pizza place with some 1980s decor flair.

Perry got it right- a hole in the wall pizza place that charges too much- OK I only got 2 slices of regular cheese pizza and I think TJ's imported from Italy has 2x the personality at 1/2 the price. I don't think they need to try to hard with a Stiizy pot dispensary on the corner. Why no NY SLICE? It's sort of a NYy part of Alameda. read more

Okay pizza, nothing special. Friendly service with okay prices. Tried it a couple of times. Nice dough but a tad heavy on the oregano.

Worst lasagna I've ever had. I could not believe the lack of effort that was place into making it. There was only cheese and meat sauce, light meat sauce, on the top for looks. Literally 10 pasta sheets with nothing in between. read more

***3.5 Stars*** The truth is, I kind of adore little spots like this. Divey, cheap, local, quick, kind of hole-in-the-wall-ish with a homey feel. That's pretty much Alameda Pizza to a tee. It's nothing fancy by any means, but it's great for something casual and cheap. Stopped by for a few slices and I got just that. There was nobody else in the store when I went, so it had me skeptical at first. But once I sat down and enjoyed my slices (pre-corona), I knew that I was in good hands. It's not the largest pizza parlor, but they've got enough space to accommodate several parties. They've got a couple different beers and daily happy hour specials. I love that they do pizza by slice because sometimes I just don't wanna order a whole damn pizza. I mean... it's just ME. Pizza prices seem pretty reasonable though. I ordered a pepperoni and sausage slice which is more like two thin slices. They baked the slice to a crisp which I like, but the cheese a little on the dry side. Thin crust, not doughy, but perfect for those who prefer a crisper crust. Also had a small house salad which was basic but tasty. For the value, it's honestly a great deal. If you're looking for something quick, cheap, and casual, I'd definitely recommend it. read more

I have been ordering pizzas from this West End place for nearly 30 years! My favorite is the Alameda Special. Usually I get a medium with thin crust. It has Pepperoni, salami, Canadian bacon, feta cheese, olives and tomatoes. With a tangy rich sauce. Very tasty pie. I have included photos of the current menu. Same staff have been here for decades, so the pizza quality doesn't change. With Covid-19 conditions, orders are takeout only. Parking on street, and coin meter lot 1/2 block away behind Pinball Museum. read more

We love this spot. Simple and delicious food, kind service in super charming location. This is not Starbucks where everything is made your way, so chill is that's your vibe. read more

Delicious slice...thin, cheesy, fresh and hot. That's what it's all about! Charming low key ambience. Will be back for sure.

Ordered from them for 8 years without a problem. Called today to order and they hung up. Every time I call back they hang up. Pizza was always a little over cooked anyways, lol. See ya!!! read more

Alameda Pizza disappoints: food barely scores 2/5. Sanitation raises eyebrows, with the owner handling food without washing hands post rug pickup. A concerning "yuck" factor. Might want to think twice before visiting. read more

Not surprised by the mixed reviews here. Went in today for a large pepperoni pizza and the owner took my order, not very friendly. I waited about 10 minutes for a pizza and before he told me it was ready he questioned where my tip was, "the receipt said cash tip, where's the cash?" I had put in $1 because I didn't have $5 and the fact he asked me where the money was because his accountant was going to check really just caught me off guard. I ended up giving him $5 after asking for change because it was awkward af. The pizza was fine, nothing special I couldn't get from a frozen pizza. Also got a Greek salad and the dressing was solid so couldn't even use on my salad without microwaving. No sides given. Doubt I'll be back. read more

Excellent pizza right around corner. Love the garlic white sauce. Fast delivery. Forget we had such quality pies on the island

The last thing I purchased was the half ravioli and half spaghetti. I never thought he'd put it all in the same container.i figured if I didn't like one I'd have the other but when you put them on one another it grosses me out.i will not be going back there again.and I felt I was gipped because I didn't get half an order of ravilo s read more

Was in the mood for a quick slice and was happy to walk past this place which had $4.00 cheese slices! You can add a topping for 50¢ but the cheese was amazing enough without any add ons. He whipped it up fresh in front of my eyes instead of pulling something out from a heat lamp, which is not typical these days! It was the perfect treat to enjoy sitting out front in the sun. Thank you for the delicious crispy pizza, will be coming back for more! read more

Just good NYC pizza! It's just like home. Try it. It's the culinary truth. Just like Bronx Pizza in San Diego!!!

Alameda Pizza has a small storefront in the middle of the Webster St. shopping district in Alameda. They serve fresh made pies, or reheated pizza by the slice. On my first and only visit, I walked in and two older men just stared at me. One was behind the counter, and the other was chopping garlic at a table. They were the only people in the place, and it was strange that there was no greeting. I said, "Hello!", and got a nod in return. A simple cheese slice is listed at $3.00. However, I was charged $3.29 before tax. It was such a small overcharge so I didn't question it. But the menu pricing should be updated. The pizza sauce has a strong flavor. Its not like most pizzas where the sauce is subtle. It definitely is prominent in the flavor profile of their pizza. The quality of the pizza was a bit lacking. The texture of the crust was one notch up from microwaved. I would recommend getting a fresh made pie, as the reheated slices are left out for quite some time due to lack of turn-over. read more

This place sucks like genuinely I know y'all read bad reviews and try not to let it affect y'all view but this place UNFORTUNATELY sucks (read that again) but the owner is rude and sadly lost love for the craft.

We enjoyed our pizza and the owner. The minestrone soup was fantastic. I wish I'd tried the calzone! The next time I'm at the pinball museum, I'll definitely be back. read more

The only pizza place in Alameda/Oakland that offers soft, THICK crust as an option. Pizzas are also infinitely customizable (linguica is an option!!!). My go-to pizza place after trying all of the other Alameda pizza shops. read more

I love our neighborhood pizza place. The owner always greets me like an old friend even though I haven't been there *that* many times, and asks about my kids who've graduated and moved away. Their pizza is amazing. Their calzones? OMG. read more

Hands down the best calzone in the area! I'm from the East Coast where fantastic, authentic Italian food is everywhere. Here in the Bay Area it's not so easy to find, and then I discovered Alameda Pizza!!! So, so good! read more

Several people have mentioned rude treatment - sadly, I have to echo those opinions. I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but the man in the shop was pretty abrupt - he was on his phone when I came in, and seemed genuinely annoyed at me for interrupting his call. I can't review the pizza because the guy shooed me out of the shop before I could order. I was the only customer, and it was kind of dark in there - it felt really off. read more

Owner is very rude and lies to customers. Im a pretty upscale person and he referred to me as "trash." I do not recommend Alameda Pizza.

The food is delicious and the service is great. Been going here for over 15 years and it has always been consistent. The baked ziti is my favorite! When I'm in the mood I'll order a huge slice with pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeños - perfectly put together , always fresh and hot when I pick it up.... read more

First time trying out this spot, well first walking up you can smell pizza outside the front door(smells awesome), It's a quiet place and not all commercialized. I ordered a large lite combo which I did not mind waiting for, pizza was amazing, crust was even, you can taste a uniqueness to the sauce which I've never tasted. Staff was very friendly, worth the drive. read more

please do not ever eat anything from this establishment. the whole experience is off-- from the ambience to the way the owner touched my food with bare, unwashed hands. the only improvement to be made is to shut this business down once and for all. read more
