The pizza is good, not amazingly great, but by little town pizza joints its better than most. As for pizza in Alameda, it probably the best. As kid we would come here often, then when I reached high school, this was the meeting spot, before we go off to do whatever we did. The pizzas are simple enought, mine and my wife's favorite is the Garlic Chicken Pizza. I recall a time in high school we ordered a party size between a friend and I, we unknowingly ate the entire pizza. Its in a great location with plenty of parking, right next to the park. So you can grab a pie and head over to the park for a picnic. This place is great for gatherings and parties, there is a second floor that can be roped off for parties. We also did many fundraisers here in high school. Still a great place and very nostalgic. read more

Not what it used to be!! Tasted like the cardboard box it came in. I'll reiterate, pizza tasted like a card box!

I left Alameda 5 years ago. Came back recently and decided to get some good old La Val's. Sad to say, it is not what it was. Garlic sauce did not taste like garlic. Onion rings were soggy and falling apart. Got two pizza and onion rings for $67 and it all went into the trash. Did they change ownership or something? read more

This is possible the worst pizza I've ever had delivered. Burt cardboard. The spaghetti was over cooked. Tasted like generic grocery store pasta with Ragh. read more

La Val's Pizza - Cardboard. Is there even sauce on this? Or cheese? This is inedible. - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

Jalapeño poppers were not poppin'. Tasted like dusty uncooked flour-coated cheap cheese stuffed into a ring of canned(?) jalapeño. The pizza tasted like 80% baked frozen pizza. read more

Tonight we ordered A spaghetti dinner and a half ravioli and half spaghetti dinner and they were delicious. They come with garlic bread and that was delicious as well. The food came on time it was hot and delicious and I'd highly recommend you try the food. They also have great pizza but we didn't have pizza tonight we felt like having pasta! I would've posted a picture but we ate it as soon as it got here, lol. Highly recommend!!! read more

It was crazy expensive for subpar food and the inside is old and dusty. Our dishes all came out at different times and took forever, even though the place was empty. We asked twice for water and never got it. The super dry meatballs tasted like fennel seed and nothing else, and were served with a cold, refrigerated spoonful of marinara. The chicken on the pizza wasn't seasoned. The jalapeño poppers were rock hard. Wouldn't return. read more

La Val's Pizza - Meatballs, Small Jalapeno Poppers, BBQ Chicken Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

This use to be a go-to but the last two times have been meh! The crust is awful and the prices are high.

Came here last Sunday after church with like 20+ people - this place is super reliable if you have a really large party, so it's super accessible if this is what you're trying to do. Pros: - accessible parking - enough parking space for you and everyone in your party - affordable - always check online for coupons - the last time I came here we just assigned 5-6 people to buy one pizza with a pitcher of soda each (around $26 each) and we all shared - Great space - love the upstairs area if you have a large party! It's separated but still has its own cheese/peppers, napkins, etc. Bring cups from downstairs! and you can push tables together / rearrange (we actually put all the pizzas on a corner table and all went up to get our own slices) - great pizza choices - combo, bbq chicken, etc. something for everyone - great service, pizzas come out fast - salad bar included sometimes when you buy pizza Cons: - super hot upstairs, a little uncomfortable. Other than that, no complaints! read more

My family and I have been coming here for DECADES! It's a Bay Farm staple. There's space upstairs with video games and a large-screen TV. We've been here for hundreds of games, awards lunches (for club sports when we were younger!), birthday parties, pre- and post- softball game celebrations, etc. Downstairs has more games and different sections to eat in. Since the pandemic started, the salad bar is down, but that salad is so damn good and loved getting the free salads with our pizzas! We used to get the salads to go as well. Pizzas are great -- the tomato flavor gets baked really well into the crust and it's a flavor that I've found unique to La'Val's. A little on the pricey side for the size, but they've got the lock on pizzas on this side of Alameda. Thanks for all of the memories. Today's update: Picked up a large mushroom & olive pizza and after a coupon it was $23. Nothing to drool over, but it's the dependable, classic taste of home! read more

La Val's Pizza - Mushroom & olive pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

I have been to La Val's many times- Got delivery tonight- it was $80.00 for terrible food. Super disappointed- Wings are extremely overcooked. did not eat. Spaghetti was undercooked and had zero sauce- burnt end of bread included. Onion Rings were burnt with ketchup packets on them melted. Pizza was also burned!! Food was just awful. We ate the inside round of the pizza. So disappointed read more

The crust tastes like cardboard The service spans from inadequate to tolerable The price to Val is wring Not good read more

Pizza was really thrown together today when I ordered the small combo, onions were barely sliced, just huge and tacky! Last time they were much better, just a couple kids working inside. I don't live close so probably won't be back, such a shame. Guy that answered didn't even say the business name, just said " hello", come on buddy be professional! read more

This past Saturday we took a 3 mile hike along the canal paths on Bay Farm Island. At the half way point we found ourselves at the Bay Farm Safeway. I lived in this neighborhood about 10 years ago and remembered there was a pizza spot here. We were hungry so we ordered a small La Vals combination special and a couple soft drinks. The first slice really hit the spot, thus the three stars. The pizza here is just average, which I remembered, so my expectations weren't very high. With my hunger less acute, my second slice was just so so, and the third was take it or leave it. La Vals is good for a quick bite on the go but not a go to spot if looking for great pizza. read more

Whoever answered my call for a pick up order had no customer service skills whatsoever. The worst part about this is I had food poisoning for a whole day after eating the pizza. Such a disappointment, they use to be so good. I never take time to review restaurant, but food poisoning all day was TERRIBLE. Wouldn't want anyone else to go through this! read more

Amazing pizza. Took a friend there for the first time today, and the pizza was wonderful. we each got a mini pizza, and they were both excellent. I got the Athena pizza, and it was so delicious and piping hot. The cheese was amazing. I don't know what kind it was, but it was delicious and gave the pizza a nice bite. There is nothing so good as a La Val's pizza. read more

I've been coming to La Val's for years. We don't usually dine in but when we have the staff has been friendly and helpful. Keep in mind if the trying to order out some pizza on a holiday you may have to wait a while to get your food. On Halloween, I was in hold for 10min before I placed my order and then it was a 40min wait for the pizzas to be ready. It's a bit pricy in comparison to chain pizza places but they always have different coupons and promotions and they are very generous with their toppings! read more

I love their pizza here! What I love more is how they are not cheap with their toppings!! Pizza taste great and service is great!! Do your part and support local business. Don't waste your money at Pizza Hut or round tables. read more

A staple of alameda for years, since I've been a kid into my adult years, the pizza has been soooo good. I ate here as a child, now my kids love it. read more

Lasagna is delicious!! The sauce they prepare is just great, I mean it is full of flavor. As well my kid love cheese pizza. We love be ordering from them. read more

Excellent neighborhood pizza place. We order for pick up often and the pizza is always ready at the time specified. The thin crust combo and Marguerite are our favs. read more

This place has been an Alameda Staple for over 20 years. One of the only places to eat on Bay Farm so they get their share of business. At least they did before COVID. The pizza is delicious and very very reasonably priced. The staff is great, always friendly and helpful. The decor reminds me of after games as a kid playing pop warner. They deliver to the main island but I usually pick up when on that side of the island. I hope this place is around forever! read more

This review is going off only on pizza delivered to my house, i never actually dined in before, wouldn't mind to, just haven't gotten the chance to yet. Pizza is great, thin crust, fresh flavorful toppings. My favorite is the garden delight, no onions, add olives and pineapple, yum. Delivery is always earlier than expected. read more

I flew into Oakland and stayed at the Airport HILTON, I decided to order a pizza and salad, the reviews were pretty good for this place and took the recommendation for the La Val's Special, the salad looked spectacular but they used old lettuce. The pizza was great, very good choice! I will definitely call on these guys again, very quick and friendly service. read more

La Val's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

We were up visiting Alameda looking at a new boat to buy; we had made the Trek from Los Angeles and were tired and hungry. So we checked into our hotel and started looking for something to eat, stumbled upon this place. After Yelping it we were wary by the overall 3.5 star rating, but after reading a few reviews we decided to go for it. And....we were SO glad we did. We ordered the Val's special (or whatever it is called) and it was awesome. Generous with the delicious toppings and cooked to perfection! What a great pizza. Oh, and it was exactly on-time. I wish they had a store in our neck of the woods. One of the best pizzas we've had! read more

Don't get their anchovies. It's like this full size pulp vinegar fish. Then the cashier guy said he will have my pizza ready to give him a sec. But the pizza was already out and on top of the oven. He helps 3 more customers and only handed me my garlics bread. And I waited there like 10 min until I asked another person to keep an eye for my pizza and he just handed to me . I rather go to MOD to get the anchovies and my pizza hot and fresh. read more

I use to love and couldn't get enough of la Val's pizza. My kids grew up on their pizza. My last order was a disaster, I ordered a large pizza and chicken wings. The wing were $19.99 and I only got 5 tasteless wings. The pizza dough was half cooked and the toppings were not as plentiful as in the past. With fees delivery, packaging and tip $79.00. Dissatisfied and disappointed read more

Complete disaster of a very pricey delivery order. Ordered jalapeño poppers...they were replaced with french fries without any consideration to call and let me know. The fries, onion rings and mozzarella sticks were all undercooked, soggy and inedible. The sticks didn't come with any sauce. The submarine sandwich I paid almost $19 for didn't include the toppings I'd paid extra for, was literally thrown together throw together, was missing ingredients and, shall I say, where's the meat? And the bean salad...tasteless like they just opened some cans, poured them in a container and sent them...no seasoning at all. Ordered early in the afternoon for delivery (4:30) so it wasn't a busy time. When I tried to get a refund they refused, only offering to remake it again (um, you didn't get it right the first time so, no) or for 50% off my next order. When I asked for a text confirmation in regards to this (since the pizza was at least edible) they didn't send one. Terrible service and food. Not a good combo. And no accountability for this awful dinner. What happened to taking pride in your product and service? read more

La Val's is your typical pizza place. The service is really fast however the food is nothing but mediocre. I love how they deliver but La Val's is nothing more than 3 stars. La Val's has a variety of foods, (burgers, sandwiches, pastas), which raises my review. I will keep coming to support this business but La Val's isn't 5 star quality. Much love to the service by the way! read more

Pizza is pretty good. Good service nice restaurant and crispy crust with tasty toppings. Although the wings don't have enough flavor. Sandwiches are good but not enough mart. read more

We checked this place out after dropping my mom off to the airport. It was okay although it's a bit pricey for mediocre food. The place looked pretty old inside and some of the tables weren't wiped down. However, the employees were nice. We tried the spaghetti and added meatballs which costs an extra $4 for two. I really didn't like the meatballs much but the spaghetti was alright. We also ordered their large "Homestyle" pizza and the flavor of pizza sauce tasted very plain...it wasn't that good. Also, if you order a fountain drink, you get one free refill which I thought was weird especially since their food is pretty expensive. Overall, we didn't really like the plain-tasting food much and for the price we paid, it definitely wasn't worth it. We'll just stick to Roundtable Pizza in San Ramon, Zachary's Pizza in Pleasanton, or Mission Pizza in Fremont. read more

Mad as hell. I order a pizza to go and a beer and a lemonade for the kid while we wait. We sit and wait... 40 minutes later and still no pizza I go to the counter. Oh- yeah it's been done for 20 minutes - didn't you hear me? read more

We love the party size pizza here, the big square cut one. All of the pizzas are really good but this one is my fav! We order here frequently. Love it! read more

Solid, reliable, great for large pizza party orders, decent taste and nice crispy underneath.

Faith in pizza restored!!! Many moons ago hubby and I lived in Alameda in our twenty-somethings and used to get pizza here all the time. Fast forward to a life in the City for the last 10 years, where we have painfully endured many many MANY mediocre or downright barely-edible pizzas, pizza joints that also serve burgers or falafel or Brazilian food or whatever other randomness does not belong in a proper pizza shop. It is AMAZING how many gross pizzas exist in SF, world class city that it is. There are only a small handful of pizza shops in SF I look forward to ordering from, the rest I visit out of convenience or drunken necessity. We came to Alameda to visit with friends and the pizza here is even better than i remember. I can only speak to the combo pizza we ordered (I've always been an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sort of pizza lover). Crust not too thick nor too thin, and not horribly burnt on the bottom or toward the edges. A center that was not like a soggy bowl of greasy soup. Cheese that wants to actually stay on the pizza. Toppings plentiful. Veggies that are still crisp (especially the bell pepper - kept its color and flavor). Great quality sausage and pepperoni, with texture and flavor. Not a huge "large" by any means, but quality over quantity is definitely the name of the game here. Having had it again makes me not want to settle for lesser pizza anymore. YUMMO. read more

La Val's Pizza - C c c c COMBO power! - Pizza Near Me - Alameda, California

This place has been a staple in my life growing up, I love the party pizzas, especially the combination and Hawaiian pizza (Ham and Pineapple) or Pepperoni and Salami. No matter the topping, this place always seems to satisfy. With a friendly staff, they offer great deals and still have all the flavor and the taste is very yummy. I will continue to enjoy the wonderful pizza, who's crust is amazing, with great value. If you want some great pizza, you have to try La Val's, I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

4 stars because you're in Bayfarm, pizza is OK, delivery staff are nice and never demand the coupon you used when you call in and it's almost NBA playoff season and I'm ready to watch my warriors!! I love the upstairs section bc it becomes a small community of local Dubnation fans from babies to grandpas, from the dude that works at Safeway to the dude that lives down ur block. Staff don't hover and you can be as loud as you want. Delivery Pizza is pricey, gets kinda soggy for a joint so close by. Pizza alone is 3, A-OK. Dine in though and get a great deal, pitcher of soda and salad bar which is fresh....AND watch the game! read more

Lunch time is always a challenging time to order for a group. It becomes more of a challenge when you appear short staffed. I empathize but from a purely selfish customer perspective, someone needs to run the front equal to the kitchen. I walked in only to see the top of the head of the man compiling all the incoming orders. I assumed it would be impolite to interrupt and ask for my pre paid pizza and pasta, so I waited patiently for him to acknowledge my presence and allow me to state the reason for my visit. Somewhere between his order taking and my having a seat near the register, did another customer walk up and get her order from the cook working the oven? Needless to say, I find the fact that patience didn't pay and my experience was less than satisfactory. There is nothing special about the pizza. An extra large was the size of most medium pizzas I buy and the toppings were mediocre on the special combo pizza. I don't think I will need to patronize this establishment anymore. There are other pizza's more reasonably priced that are better. A first impression is a lasting one - staff appropriately or work more efficiently with the staff you have. read more

Solid pizza option for Alameda. Nothing great, but not bad either. Their BBQ chicken and the combo are my favs.

Great food service and ambiance. I would definitely recommend this place.......................................................
