What a pleasant visit and top notch hospitality.
The folks at Bluevird are super nice! We walked in not realizing that they were sold out, they only had a couples slices of cheese pizza left and since we had a little one with us, we ordered that along with 2 cannolis. Not only did they give us extra cannolis, they also gave us extra pizza since they had excess from a different order. Although dine in was technically over, they said we could eat and at no point did they try to rush us out or even started cleaning.
The food: the cheese pizza was very good, the cannolis freshly piped. I’m coming back for sure!

Killer east-coast style pie, made with pride in this family-run establishment. Cozy place to hang, classic rock on the stereo, solid beers in the cooler. Fuhgeddaboutit.

Best pizza in San Leandro! I usually get the Grandma pizza or margherita, but there’s no bad choice. Super friendly owner and staff. Small cozy interior seating. Recommend to call ahead for pickup or order online, they sometimes sell out.

Bluebird Pizza in San Leandro is one of those places that doesn’t need flash — just great pizza and a whole lot of East Coast soul. We came just to try the Grandma’s Pizza, and it blew us away. Crispy crust, perfect sauce, old-school flavor. It sells out early (often gone by 5pm on weekends), so plan ahead!
There’s a small selection of local bottled beers, which pairs perfectly.
Fran, the owner, is the real MVP — a true Jersey girl (see the sticker wall — I posted a photo!) and a respected local legend who still hand-makes every single pie herself. Passion. Craft. No shortcuts.
If you know, you know. And now you do.

One of my favorite pizza places. Their pizza is so good. Staff is always friendly, just wish there was more parking and more hours open. But that doesn’t take away from the 5 star rating.

Not bad. Good for locals or if you are close by. Looks like they have good variety of beer. Pizza was not bad but nothing awesome either. A bit stingy on the toppings and they ran out of Parmesan cheese packets . Website not the easiest to navigate but calling was fine and easy pick up.

Great family owned and operated pizza joint! I’m so happy we found this little hole in the wall while we were in Oakland to see the Raider game. I would definitely go back if in the area again. I highly recommend to the locals.

It’s a family affair…Fran and Ray Jr. sling the killer slices and pies while Ray Sr. pours the brews…. This joynt serves up the best NY pizza on the West Coast. It is the real deal and it is served with good old East Coast wise crackin.
I love to go to Bluebird and watch a game, drink a hand crafted cold one on tap, and enjoy a slice. I love sharing a table with other folks as it always ends up in great conversation and fun times.
I love the kids corner…books, puzzles, and games for the kids and family.

I’m from the east coast and had basically concluded that you couldn’t get a good slice in California until I discovered Bluebird. The crust is crispy yet chewy. The best part is that they don’t overdo the toppings. The ratio is just right so the bottom doesn’t get soggy. We also love the friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Fran knows all her customers and is very welcoming. We’ve become regulars and have met or gotten to know more of our neighbors through our visits to the Bluebird.

Hands down, the best pizza in the area! While there’s not much seating, many people opt for takeout. However, I prefer to eat here and enjoy it fresh out of the oven whenever possible. They have a great selection of beer, including some German options. The menu is simple, focusing on the quality of their pies!
