The problem with iSlice is its inconsistency. We've ordered in the past and have had nice pizzas, and we've eaten there and have had nice slices, but ordering through a home delivery service is a bit of a crapshoot Yesterday I ordered two 20-inch pies, one veggie red and one ham and pineapple. I paid for extra cheese for both, $3.50 per pie. What arrived was akin to cracker bread with hardly any cheese, very little sauce and very skimpy toppings. I'm from NYC, and I like a thin crust pizza, but this was so thin, and had so little on it. It was dry and almost crunchy throughout. The veggie red had so few toppings you wouldn't even know what the toppings were. The cheese started like 3 inches down from the edge of crust, and there was precious little of it. Even if you factor out the DoorDash fees, we're looking at something along the lines of $85 for two pizzas--way too much to pay to receive something like this. I want to support a mom and pop, and I don't like posting negative reviews, but at this price point we feel taken advantage of. We won't be ordering from them again. read more

iSlice - 20-inch veggie red. Where are the veggies? Where is the extra cheese? For that matter, where is even the regular amount of cheese? - Pizza Near Me - Albany, California

Nice staff, nice restaurant. But the food was lacking. The pizza reminded me of school lunch. And I've had #newyork #pizza it just didn't hit for me. The #cannoli was hard and the filling tasted like nothing. Im sorry, my son wouldn't even eat it. read more

Went here for dinner a couple nights ago. Awesome casual pizza spot with reasonable prices and good NY style pizza. Order and pick up at counter. Note that because it's by-the-slice, they make a bunch of cheese pizzas then add toppings to order and reheat the slice. The base pizza itself is quite excellent, extremely thin & crispy, but I found the toppings were a distraction. They were generous with the toppings which is a plus if you really need something on your pizza, but you can tell that they are just sitting on top instead of being baked in. This isn't necessarily a con, as it allows you to have more freedom/choices with toppings, I just didn't like how the flavors blended with this technique. I will definitely be coming back for some plain cheese slices! They often have meal deals (right now it's a free soda with any 2 slices), which you may as well take advantage of. read more

I am still coming for the real New York pizza in California! I am a true New Yorker lost in California, born and raised in Manhattan NYC. I've been searching since I moved here, and I stumbled on iSlice by accident. I had parked out front to run an errand, but the smell of pizza stopped me in my tracks. I went in--and completely forgot what I came to do. The atmosphere feels like stepping into a true New York City pizzeria, complete with fun NYC-style decorations and friendly energy. There's even outdoor seating, and inside it's bright, clean, and welcoming. The pizza is everything you hope for: golden, crisp edges with the thin dough in the center that perfectly holds the exact cheese and sauce ratio. The sauce tastes like it's made from fresh Italian purée sweet in a natural way, not sugary, like ripe tomatoes straight from a garden. Every bite has the right balance of cheese and sauce, the kind of combination that makes you close your eyes and smile. The staff is warm and makes you feel at home. Their daily special is unbeatable: two huge slices and a can of soda for $10. The slices are so big you could easily share with a friend (if you really wanted to!) not me New Yorkers don't share!!!! Even the bathroom was spotless--bright, clean, and spacious. Parking is generous and right in front, which is a big plus. I see many more iSlice pizza runs in my future. If you miss true New York pizza, this is the spot. Once you try it, you'll be hooked! read more

Walking by after a lunch, decided to try a slice of pizza for "2nd lunch". Got the "Veggie Green." One of the better pizzas I've had in a while. Definitely could eat here again. read more

I was in the neighborhood and wanted a late lunch. I ordered their special which includes a free soda if you order two slices. They have a good selection of toppings, and I chose one slice of cheese and one slice of green veggies. The cheese slice was great, with a thin crust, tangy sauce and flavorful cheese. The veggie slice was a cheese slice with a lot of chopped veggies sprinkled loosely on top. The veggies were not baked into the slice so they tended to fall off unless you hold the slice horizontally. Still tasty but I preferred the cheese slice. Very friendly place with limited seating. I'd definitely come back. read more

Passed by this pizza spot at 8:05pm and decided to give it a try since not many pizza places do by the slice. Got 2 pep slices to go and asked to make sure they were still open since they looked like they started closing and cleaning up shop. Worker assured us they were still open and proceeded to warm our slices. Checked on yelp and turns out they were closed at 8pm and felt so bad (yes we tipped extra for staying open late for us). Worker gave us our food and we were on our way. Didn't even make it to the freeway and the slices were devoured. Such thin crust and the pepperoni had a good bite to it! The crust! Didn't have time for a pic read more

Clean and efficient Islice sells New York style pies and by the slice. Flavors are traditional but they also have vegetarian and vegan toppings. A specialty slice is large about the length of 1.5 hands (lol) and costs $5.40 ($6ish with tax) . Slices are heated up per order . Appreciate how the Parmesan is kept in the fridge Recommend This location for a quick bite on the run read more

I can sum iSlice up in two words: first, it's pizza, and second, it's hot. Other than that, a store-brand pizza like Red Barron or DiGiorno will work just as well. I'm not one of those transplant snobs who believe that the best pizza can only be found in New York. Many great pizza joints exist in the Bay Area, including the East Bay, but this isn't one of them. I'll have to group iSlice with Zachary's and Cheeseboard as places that claim to serve excellent pizza but actually don't. Hmmm, I may be one of those pizza snobs after all ... BB read more

Not that good. Dough was soggy, mediocre, etc. New owners, seems like its changed. Better choices in the area. Too bad, close to home.

The pizza is okay but the customer service is lacking. I went in recently and ordered a daily special (buy any two slices get a can of soda). I turned around and got a can of cheap root beer from the case. A youngish guy behind the counter who didn't take my order, with straight black hair that sticks up, said "are you going to pay for that?!" loudly with a huge attitude, drawing everyone's attention. I told him I had just bought the special. No apology or attempt to smooth things over. He just said "only from the right side". I look and the right side of the case is full of cans, except for the cans of cheap root beer which are inexplicably placed with all the premium/bottled drinks. So you cannot actually choose any cheap can of soda, all made by the same company. I'm guessing they noticed they sell slightly more cans of root beer and decided to nickel and dime. Considering they sell $20 bottles of honey I guess it fits. Doubt this is what Shiv would have wanted though. read more

My family's favorite pizza spot. The Margherita pizza there is amazing. They're always so kind.

me and my friends love to come here when we go on a walk around albany it is a must for us to have islice pizza! the slices are so big and filling it reminds me of new york! and the customer service is great! the place is not too big not too small very cozy and clean :)) read more

I went here on a Friday night, it wasn't busy so it was perfect timing and decided to try out their calzones from the menu. I ordered the supreme calzone and it was a big portion I can tell you that. Especially dipping in the marinara sauce, it was delicious. I'd come back and try out their pizza slices. Street Parking is free, and tables are displayed outside for sitting. read more

iSlice - Supreme Calzone - Pizza Near Me - Albany, California

Solid family-owned, NY-style pizza joint. If that doesn't draw you in, the scent of fresh-baked pizza honestly will. Every time we walk by their shop on Solano, my bf and I always look at each other and debate heavily if eating pizza midday is worth the afternoon crash. Well, one day, it finally was................. For COVID safety purposes, staff/patrons must wear masks, and hand sanitizer is provided. Their store is small, cramped even-- the way their tables and storage are oriented feel extremely claustrophobic. I'd recommend taking to-go. MUSHROOM PIZZA: Excellent thin crust and cheese-topping ratio. Minimal sauce, but the toppings speak for themselves. VEGGIE PIZZA: Ditto. Super fresh! CANNOLI: Lowkey...... Disappointing.............. Both the shell and ricotta are way too dense, and the filling tastes stale. And doesn't meet at the center (literally empty in the middle). Not great. Very reasonable prices, and the family running the shop is always so sweet. read more

Pretty good pizza. We went for a walk at point Isabelle and took my 8 year old and his friend. We wanted some pizza but I didn't want to take them inside anywhere. So we stopped at Islice. The boys both got a slice, chips and a soda. I got the meat combo slice and my husband got the Brooklyn and the New York. The cheese is local and the pizza is thin and crispy. Being able to pick up a slice and eat it outside on solan and people watch was nice. Reasonable prices and everyone left happy. Solid stream of people. read more

iSlice makes a good pizza for the price point they are at. You should give it a try. But the best deal in the house is on the calzones. They are like a folded up pizza in the shape of a football. The chicken and garlic is the way to go. Its only $11.45, which is very affordable for the amount of food you get. The service here is good. Nothing over-the-top, but good retail customer service. The ambiance here is middle of the road. There's a huge American flag on the wall, which is great to see around election season. UPDATE: iSlice is now open in Walnut Creek. They just opened a new store there. read more

While certainly no Zachary's or Airnell's, the pizza here is not bad, just not great, kinda mediocre. Costco pizza is better. I do like the combos that they have like 2 slices and get a free can of soda or pizza and a salad and soda. Seems like your typical $1.00 a slice NY type pizza place except the slices are not $1.00. read more

This is run by such a nice family. My youngest loves to stop here after school. They are always kind.

This is my first time here going for lunch. I ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian pizza slice. Soon I received this was very lazy of the employee to just use a cheese pizza and through pineapple and ham on it then cook it again. Never coming here again, would rather spend my money elsewhere. read more

Not a huge pizza fan but I must admit this place has one of the best pizzas. I went there with my coworker after work. The place wasn't crowded.

Price is not too bad either. read more

Went to the city, and was hungry midway through my drive back home. I was feeling some pizza, so I stumbled across Islice. I've never rlly tried New York style before, so I gave it a try this day.

They were really nice and I will definitely will be coming here a second time. read more

iSlice - Pizza Near Me - Albany, California

They always undercook the pizza. By east coast standards, its a little below the level of a Papa Gino's chain. It seems like it was made by people who dont have any background with good pizza, or discovered it as adults or something. My best guess is that they are cooking at way too low of a heat, because the undercrust is dead white and flabby, hanging down when you pick it up. And cheese on top is so undercooked that its completely white, gummy and barely above room temperature. You should NOT be able to discern the outlines of the uncooked shreds! Cheese is supposed to be FULLY MELTED and have some variation in texture with golden brown spots. I honestly wonder if theyve got a chef who's lactose intolerant and doesnt understand what to aim for There are so many places that make outstanding pizza, its just too bad none seem to be located in the east bay. California, do better! ETA I just read the description up page and it looks like they started in Denver, which could explain the uncanny valley effect. Authentic east coast pizza is not about "herbs and spices" in the sauce - this isn't KFC. A good NY pizza is very much about texture: the cheese pull, the crispness and softness of the crust, and the amount of sauce used. Thats why shops run the pizza ovens at suc high temperatures read more

Not very good pizza. It's kind of expensive while also not being much food. It's crazy, but if you fold the whole thing up into a single slice, it would be about as much food as a single Philly cheese steak. I don't know if that's a good thing about cheese steaks, but it's definitely a bad thing about this pie. You can share it with up to 2 other people, but you'll all just be disappointed and have the roof of your mouths cut... so dry... so flavorless... it's just not good. Also, needed to be noted here is the total lack of sauce. I don't know how much sauce is needed to make something a pizza and not just cheese bread, but this is dangerously close to the edge. I actually saw way more grease than sauce, so maybe they got confused while making the pie and just ladled grease on the crust by mistake. TL;DR: Bad. Maybe just get a cheese steak somewhere else. read more

This is a great NYC style pizza joint. Small, no nonsense, super quick, and CHEAP! We picked up two slices and split a soda, and we were out the door for $7 and some change. Given the prices of food in general, and in particular in the Bay Area, these guys should win an award. The pizza was also pretty good, particularly for the price. You're not getting Tony's of North Beach or Ca' Momi, but again, it's $7 for two slices and you're in and out in 10 minutes. Great value. Do it! read more

iSlice - Extra large cheese! - Pizza Near Me - Albany, California

This place is simply wonderful. It's not gourmet like say Gioia Pizza, but it's better than Little Star and Zachary's on the same street, and that's saying a lot. It's reasonably priced and serves a tender, chewy thin crust pizza with great flavors and ingredients. The cheese/sauce/crust ratio is well balanced. For our Wednesday pizza nights, if we want something reliably good, this is our place. Isn't having a reliable, local pizza sometimes all we really need in our pizza-popping existence? read more

I am not a fan of red sauces and most of the pizzas I've had locally had red sauce that was too strong for me. I was a fan of Albany Pizza because they had pesto pizzas, and as I am sure you know, Albany Pizza is now just a memory. Step in iSlice pizza. Not only can I tolerate their red sauce, I get small flashbacks to growing up and having bowling alley pizza. I swear their pizza is on the level of bowling alley pizza which may not seem like a big deal, but here I am more than 30 years later having recollections of really good thin pizza like I could get at the bowling alley. For the last year or so, I have been a very happy, boring, plain, simple cheese pizza person. It was easy to order and easy to bring home. I loved those special times when we decided to pick up iSlice pizza. Tonight I was curious about what toppings I could choose. I go to the iSlice website and see that not only do they have a large selection of toppings, but they also make calzones. I can't remember the last time I had a calzone so I had to get one. It is what inspired me to write a review. I got a veggie calzone and have no complaints. It comes with red sauce on the side so I am not stuck with only white sauce in my calzone. read more

We've had the calzones before and there wasn't ranch in it. It was filled with creamy ricotta and mozzarella. Now they put ranch? Disgusting! The owner said she'd call Door dash for a redelivery or refund. I got nothing! Also the cannoli's used to have chocolate chips in the filling. Now it's just bland ricotta mixture. Look at the old pics of their cannoli, you see the chips, the menu picture even shows the chips! iSlice used to be a favorite. They sure have gone downhill! The quality of ingredients has downgraded big time. We won't be back! read more

Tried this out through a DoorDash offer and was surprised at how good everything tasted! My family ordered a customized 18" (came w a free cannoli) and a veggie calzone. Pizza and calzone weren't greasy and my family really liked the dough. Large portion sizes too for the price. They said the cannoli wasn't overly sweet and they'd probably only get 1 instead of 2 next time. Overall, my family would recommend the veggie calzone the most, but would go back for the pizza. read more

First time ordering from iSlice. I ordered a large half onion, half mushroom cheeze pizza. Pretty disappointing quality, the vegetables were sparse and weren't fresh at all and all around tasteless, the mozzarella (if it was mozzarella) didn't taste fresh and had a plastic-y texture and sheen and gooey taste. Crust was nothing to rave about, just your basic dough. Wasn't expecting anything special but it was definitely a little more than disappointing! Wouldn't order back again. read more
