About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Romantic

The Star features the same delicious Chicago-style deep dish pizza that made Little Star Pizza famous, with their consistent Guardian's Best of the Bay Pizza. We have an extended menu including salads, appetizers, and sandwiches. We feature an artisan full bar as well as a diverse beer and wine menus. We are family friendly and accept reservations for large parties as well. We look forward to you joining us!

Absolutely love their pizza and the wedge salad was delicious. But most of all their cocktails have always been a solid foundation (we had the Manhattan and old-fashioned). Our service was outstanding…whereas the competition down the street is some of the worse I’ve seen. Opportunity for improvement: It’s time to refinish the tables. It seem that the cleaning product may have eaten away at the finish, causing him to be slightly sticky.

Great service from wait staff. Enjoyed both deep dish and Detroit style pies. It wasn’t a super busy night, so the pies came out sooner than the anticipated wait time.

Two of us split a small Ceasars salad, a small roasted cauliflower and a small pizza. We liked all three and it was the perfect amount of food

The pizza and salad here is great, but the service is consistently bad. We actually felt like we were imposing by dining there, the server was oblivious and could care less about our experience.
