Little Star Pizza

The challenge with Little Star is always if I order deep dish or thin crust! Deep dish is a great option if you want Chicago style pizza

I have been wanting to try this pizza for years. I just ordered delivery (via Postmates which was awesome). I have heard about their legendary deep dish pizza but I was a little skeptical since I lived in Chicago. This is the best deep dish pizza I have had outside of Chicago. In fact, I think I like it better because I didn't feel so miserable after eating it! When it was delivered, it didn't weigh 17 pounds like it does in Chicago so that was a good sign. It also had a lot of chunks of tomatoes rather than just sauce and the crust tasted lighter than the Chicago crust. It feels very controversial to say this but I think the next time I have deep dish pizza in Chicago, I will be wishing it was Little Star!

Anyone that knows me knows that I love pizza! The pizza here is really good- the deep dish in the picture pretty much sums up my experience there! A picture is worth a thousand words or in this case yums!

So my friends are absolute FAN-atics of this place and finally brought me along to try it out. The big test around town is to compare this to Zacchary's Pizza, a fav of mine for sure. While wearing their Little Star shirts we headed in to the Berkeley location and sat down to enjoy our pie. The place is very cool and not what I expected at all. A very hip and modern atmosphere . My friends ordered the pie for us with some special recommendations they have learned to give so that it comes out "perfect". Well they must know something because the pie was excellent. Their sauce is to die for and each bite is full of flavor. We unfortunately ate the whole thing otherwise I would have liked to try the "day after" test to see if it gets even better (like Zacchary's does).

As a Chicagoan - I am very critical of deep dish pizza and I must say that this place lives up to my standard of delicious deep dish. The cornmeal crust is amazing and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
