Every place has a pizza, but not every pizza is good. Pizzalina has delicious pizza! So many different styles of crust and toppings made it hard to choose. This is how 5 people ended up with 4 large pizzas! We definitely had leftovers, despite our best efforts to stuff ourselves. I really appreciate the presentation and the flavor combos. The pepperoni was a classic! The No Ka Oi was a flavor explosion. I love that it’s on a serving platter that allows the bottom to remain crispy and not soggy. Bonus points for this! The atmosphere got a slightly worse rating because we called ahead for a reservation of a particular table and was told it was ours, and instead they put us at a 4 person table, and there were 5 of us. I didn’t lower service because our server was a rock star, checking on us, and keeping the drinks flowing.
We do have some other pizzas on our must try next time list!

This is not your ordinary pizza place, but a cool hang out spot with other great food besides pizza. Located tucked in a corner of a strip mall, there’s ample parking and plenty of seating.
Their pizzas are fantastic. Unlike others, Pizzalina pizza are not greasy nor overbaked to extra crispy; they had the right amount of toppings. But, I will say I was more impressed with their chicken wings and brussels sprouts; both very addicting.

We planned to try Pizzalina after hiking to the Mt. Diablo summit. Coming in with big appetites and a craving for pizza, Pizzalina did not disappoint!
We decided to try an original pie and a “squared” pizza, to try out both styles.
We got the original pie, with grana padano and pecorino romano cheese, aged mozzarella, garlic oil, fresh basil and Sicilian oregano; and the forest “squared” pie with roasted mushrooms, sauteed spinach, garlic cream, and shaved red onion.
The original pie came out first and looked absolutely beautiful, topped with basil and pecorino romano cheese. The tomato sauce had a wonderful, vibrant and fresh flavor and the undercarriage was cooked super well so that the pizza had zero sag and was incredibly crunchy and crispy.
The forest squared pie was also quite nice! I have had Detroit style and other square pie styles, but nothing quite like the Sicilian-inspired square pizza served here, which almost seemed to be cooked on a focaccia bread. Although this pizza looked bigger and larger than the round style pie, it was incredibly light and crispy, and the veggie toppings on the pizza really shined.
Both of these pizzas were phenomenal and paired with each other nicely. Unfortunately, I live in San Francisco, so I’m not sure the next time I’ll be back but would definitely come here again the next time I am in Walnut Creek!

This was a takeout order. So glad there’s a new pizza place in town. The Sicilian pizza was superb. The crust was crispy on the bottom and super flavorful. Meatballs were a good size and really well seasoned. Very clean inside the restaurant. The squash pizza could use something a little salty to balance the sweetness but still tasty.

This place is 5 star pizza and 5 star owner, Jackie! I have been ordering pizza from here since we discovered it at a neighbors house and my life has changed forever. The pizza is delicious. We have tried some of the pasta dishes and maybe they don’t deliver well because they haven’t been great. I don’t love things delivered in cardboard though so I think it’s hard to judge them on that. Only reason why I gave 4 star. But the pizza is 5 star and so is the owner. I ordered DoorDash and they delivered the wrong salad. I called and explained to Jackie that they had done this wrong. She initially offered a refund and I told her I was a bit bummed because I really wanted that salad. It was Halloween evening. Jackie offered to drive it to my house!!! I don’t live that close, about 5 miles or more away up YVR. I couldn’t believe it. She personally hand delivered this to me because she said “you ordered this and you deserve to have it.” What an upstanding woman and business owner. I will give them business 10/10 every time. I can’t wait to come visit in person. Exceptional place and person.

Family atmosphere, outstanding service and delicious food. The Caesarlina and Chopped salads were fresh and crunchy. We also had the Fettuccine and Lamb Ragu Pasta which was flavorful and the peas were a great pop! The Bulgogi Pizza was an explosion of amazing balance of spicy and sweet flavors…so delicious! A table of 3 shared everything and still had pizza to bring home!

We biked here but there are lots of places to park if you’re driving here. We loved their meatless pizza options. The “Zucca” was absolutely delicious. They also had a great beer selection. We’ll definitely be back!

Pizzalina offers a nice, modern atmosphere and has a pleasant, attentive staff. The pizza, however, was a bit over-salted, which led us to return it. Despite this issue, the restaurant’s overall design and service make it a decent spot, though there’s room for improvement in their pizza seasoning.

The pizza here is good. We had a Mountain and an Original Pie, both did not disappoint but the mountain was our favorite. They were traditional Neapolitan style pizzas, but the place also offers square pies. The smoked mozzarella sticks were delicious and different. I think it just opened recently and was very busy for a Thursday night which is a good sign, they had about a 30 min wait. Our carry out took 20 min. The pizza sauce here is very fresh and was my favorite part of the pie. The crust is also good and had the right amount of char, they also use a good prosciutto. We want to go back and try some different pies like the bulgogi or honey and jalapeño one.

My husband and I come here often and every single time the Detroit pizza and mozzarella sticks are AMAZING! We’ve never had bad service, the atmospheres is lively, and again it’s seriously delicious every single time. It’s our favorite place to get Detroit style pizza! We’re so shocked reading some of the negative reviews.
