Little Star Pizza

Pin It Now!

I'm back again at Little Star Pizza, this time to taste The Brass Monkey.  Last time I had the Classic (see post HERE) and I wasn't too impressed.  Thin crust probably will forever and always be my first love, but I'm trying to be open minded about other types of pizza, even though it seems wrong to eat a pizza with a knife and fork.

The Brass Monkey isn't actually on Little Star's menu.  Its their Little Star Pizza (spinach, ricotta, feta, mushrooms, onions, and garlic) topped with sausage.  As always, their buttery cornmeal crust is always delicious.  The taste reminds me a little of Pizzeria Mozza's pizza crust (see post HERE).

The sausage on this pizza could be a little bit more generous, but after being disappointed by the taste of the Classic, the Brass Monkey had a lot more flavor.  So I'm admitting this pizza is pretty good, even better the next day after the flavors soak in, but I'm not giving up my beloved Pizzeria Delfina (see post HERE) any time soon.

I'm a thin crust pizza person so I don't see much of the appeal of a deep dish pizza, but Little Star Pizza is one of the popular spots in the Bay Area.  Little Star Pizza is one in the deep dish trifectas in the Bay Area.  The other two being Paxti's and Zachery's.   

Little Star - #32 on 2012 7x7 SF's Top 100 Eats

The self named pizza, Little Star, is an all vegetarian fare that includes spinach blended with ricotta and feta, mushrooms, onions, and garlic.  The tomato sauce is not as tart as Zachery's, but I feel like this particular pizza is a little bland for my taste.  I've had the Classic (Sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green bells) and prefer it over the Little Star.  The cornmeal crust is the best thing about this pizza.  Its crunchy, buttery, which reminds me of a well made breadstick.
