Restaurant: Little Star Pizza (San Francisco)
Food description: Deep dish pizza with sausage, mushrooms, green bell peppers, and onions
Food rating: 7 out of 10
Times ordered: 1
I love deep dish pizza, so I was super excited to try the pizza at Little Star. They are known for their deep dish pizza and they did not disappoint. The crust on this thing is amazing. It was cooked perfectly, rich and buttery and savory and crispy. Yum, I could eat this crust by itself so getting all these toppings with it feels like an extra treat. The toppings they use really went great together. The sausage they use is really delicious, I almost wish they put more on, but I think that would have probably been overkill. The sauce was really good, I do wish they had stewed the tomatoes a bit longer, it tasted a little too fresh to me, I think in pizza, you really want that cooked tomato taste which is quite different albeit equally delightful from raw tomato. The mushrooms and bell peppers kind of disappeared under the sausage but the other stuff is so good that it didn't really matter. I would definitely get this pizza again.

I tried this pizza last night and I would add that the onions were pretty raw for my taste (as you mentioned in the Italian combo pizza review), and the crust was tasty, but a little heavy on the corn meal (tasted like corn bread). I agree that the tomatoes also needed some work, so for now, Patxi's is still my choice for deep dish (though I've heard that Zachary's in Berkeley blows both of them away).
