Leaning tower pizza in oakland1/11/2024 ![]() ![]() They need to step their quality and flavor game up a bit to match their amazing crust. I’m a big fan of Haddon Hill Café for this very reason so I was really pumped to find out that Leaning Tower was under new management or ownership and had really put time into solidifying their menu while preserving their feel so it pains me to give them only 2 stars. :)Īs a local I really like the idea of this place, but they seem to be going through enough culinary growing pains that I’m likely to move on. ![]() I just glanced at a couple of other reviews– I didn’t realize the place recently acquired new owners (I just moved here), but they are doing something right. Love that it’s been around for over 40 years and is a local establishment. The inside of the place is no-frills but there is an awesome mural depicting Lake Merritt and above it, perhaps a version of pizza heaven? Anyway, we will definitely be going back– friendly staff, good pizza, good beer, walking distance– can’t go wrong there. Again, I am not really a big pizza fan in general so honestly, this is saying something. Nice thin crust, not greasy, very simple but very tasty. After checking out the menu we ordered a half veggie pizza (they will do it w/out cheese BTW– I can’t eat dairy at the moment), and it was GOOD. ![]() Last night my husband suggested we have a beer or two there and I’m so glad we did! They have a small but good craft beer selection on tap (we had Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout and Dust Bowl IPA– there was also a Gose there), and you can drink outside at one of their tables and get a nice view of the neighborhood. ![]() I’d passed this place a couple of times on the way home and I didn’t think much of it as I’m not really a pizza person. ![]()
