Bluebird Pizzeria

I've been waiting to slide through San Leandro and try this pizza, what a treat, well worth the trip. Great people delicious pizza!!!

Great little pizza spot. You may have to wait to sit. They have beer to go in case you are doing take out.

Best Pizza in Zaaa Woooorllld. You don't need to travel to New York for the best slice.

1st time here the Pizza was the best I've had mabey best ever real hand made dough real everything the owners and staff make you feel at home with an authentic New Jersey vibe if your looking for real east coast Pizza you can't beat this place

Hubby and I ordered an E Street Combo Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, Salad and Canoli for our weekly take out lunch. We ordered online for specific pick up time. Website is user friendly. We got the 12 inch E Street Combo with kalamata olives and fresh mozzarella. I highly recommend both. The fresh mozzarella took that already yummy pizza up a level, beautifully. So good!! Their salad is fabulous, and I love the walnuts. The dressing looks and tastes freshly made. The canoli are lovely.

A hidden gem in East Bay. Just the way a pizzeria should be. Great and courteous staff and the pizza were amazing! We did a half and half margherita and Greek pizza which both hit the spot. I'd highly recommend the cheese and pepperoni pizza slices on the go or just to savor while they bake your pie. I'd definitely go back to try out the grand Ma pie! Shout out the staff who were constantly taking phone orders but also ensuring all the dine in customers were taken care of so well!

Last night was our first time here. We ordered the Classic Margherita and Greek. Both excellent. The place was clean and the customer service was superb. They were so attentive to everyone and funny and down to earth. This will be our new spot for sure.

Recently moved into the area, and my neighbors raved about Bluebird pizzeria, therefore had to try it. It definitely did not disappoint! Picked up a large sausage and mushroom pizza, that was made with love. It was a hit... so very tasty from the crust to the sauce to the fresh ingredients. This is my new pizza pie spot! Me so happy!!! 🍕❤️😋

Good, great, awesome pizza. Love the family-run vibe. Wish we'd had a neighborhood pizza place like this when we were growing up. Good luck getting a table, but if you come before 6, it's easier. Call in your order early and take the pickup time they give you, graciously. We order the NY Combo and the White, but we've never been unhappy with anything we've had. Best pizza in town.

I absolutely LOVE this pizza place!

Bluebird has some of the best pizza in Northern California. We have been coming here about three years. They provide a New York style pizza with a thin crust. They have flavorful toppings and a great sauce. This is the best NY style pizza I have had outside of New York. There is limited seating in the restaurant. You may want to get the pizza to go. We have had their pizza delivered through Door Dash.

Such good thin crust pizza! I haven’t tried it but they have a gluten free crust option too. I would drive out of my way for this pizza but luckily it’s not far from where I live. Street parking but I haven’t had problems finding a spot whenever I go. The staff is always accommodating and friendly.

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.

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!

Bluebird Pizzeria offers a delightful pizza experience with flavors that truly stand out. The pizza is exceptionally tasty, and the overall service is top-notch, making it a must-visit spot for pizza enthusiasts.

Really good pizza ! Quality and freshness of ingredients is easy to taste. Interesting menu specialties - take a look .

Fran always creates a warm and welcoming environment serving the best pizza in the area. This is an authentic New Jersey style joint with a focus on beer, baseball, and music.

When I moved to CA from NJ I was told about this spot from a from a previous employee. The owners were from a town not far from freehold and they hands down had the best pizza and I tried a lot of places over the 2 years I lived there 🙌🫶

The pizza isn’t just amazing and memorable so is the vibe. There’s a reason the sell out so quickly and why people rush as soon as they’re open!

We are new to the area and so far have had pizza from Bluebirds twice. First time my husband went and picked it up, the second we ate in. This is some of the best pizza we have ever had and my husband is from Philly. I’ve had pizza in NYC and this was better. Few tables inside but worth eating in, they have an unusual selection of beers and non alcoholic drinks. If you have never had Bluebirds, you have to eat there.

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.

Nothing to complain about. Pizza was delicious, piping hot and ready exactly on time. Fran was really nice and communicative, and price was right. Maybe if they were closer to Fremont cuz the slice in the car was better than the one after a 40min drive home, but can't change that. We look forward to coming back.

The pizza is bomb! I ordered the BBQ Chicken and a veggie. Both were delicious! The person who took my order was patient as I wasn’t looking at the menu. The guy at the over carefully made sure my pizza was perfect. The owner yelled and threw a tantrum on my first visit. It wasn’t fun to watch, but maybe her personality is part of the charm.

We had a custom pizza, three toppings. Crust was thin, not to crispy but not soggy. Overall well done. The sauce was also good. The staff was very good, friendly and helpful. We will be back for more a and will recommend to others.

Really good pizza, but the lighting inside was kind of dark. Great margherita pizza.

Fresh and tasty, especially the San Marzano DOP certified tomato sauce

I tried Bluebird a few years ago and was underwhelmed. I decided to give it another shot because of all the positive reviews and thought it was absolutely delicious. Maybe they were just having an off night or maybe I ordered the wrong thing. But tonight's pizza is great. The crust is very nice and the tomato sauce is quite flavorful. Overall it tastes like they use really good ingredients. Will order again.

One of my favorite local pizza places! You can tell that this place is run by a family that really takes pride in putting out a great pie. The crust is really nice and has the perfect bite. The toppings are all top notch/high quality. Only downside is that the place is small and sometimes you may have to wait awhile for your pizza. But I promise it’s worth the wait! 9 out of 10 times if we’re hungry and in/around San Leandro it’s Bluebirds!

Solis neighborhood spot for an east coast pie, run by a couple of good folks;) Ordered half veggie half new york: -good hold/no flop -neutral crust with no bubble, not crispy -perfect amount of toppings, not soggy -fresh ingredients -sauce is a bit bland/plain Also ordered the plain and pistachio cannolis, crust was fresh and ricotta was smooth. I’d personally introduce some tanginess/acidity like lemon juice/mascarpone/cream cheese. Overall a reliable pick if you’re nearby, just need more seasoning/flavoring.

I was told by a friend to try this pizzeria. Out of the few local pizzerias in the San Leandro area that I've tried, Bluebird didn't disappoint. Love the pizza sauce. Lots of selections and love the variety of half and half pizzas. If you or a child have a dairy allergy, they have a no cheese pizza that was really good, you can even add toppings to it.

Pizza with pepperoni was a little greasy. There is no parking really, and little seating. Nice choices of drinks. The 4 cheese pizza has the option to be with a white sauce.

V Tancredi

A modest mom and pop pizza place with legit pizza. Their claim to have authentic New York City style thin crust pizza is true. The owner is from New Jersey, close enough 😁 They have fast and friendly service, TVs to watch sports, kid friendly activities, lots of drink options. Somewhat on the small side, but easy to park around there.

Decent pizza, the double pep definitely needs a pat down with napkins before consuming. I took a bite and oil literally gushed out of my mouth from it.

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.

Honestly a very average place, food was okay. Would not go out of my way to come here tbh.

I had the worse experience here, I wanted to order 2 pizzas when I was told by the cashier that they only had one dough left for 1 pizza which was okay. Other than them taking a long time to serve us, another customer walked in and ordered a pizza and they were told the same thing. Which was wrong because we were the only Latinos there it was my son birthday. We told the cashier that it wasn’t fair we were a party of 5 and were only able to purchase one pizza. I am tired of walking into restaurants and being treated different because I’m Latino. After that customers that seem to be regulars kept coming in and being served pizza when there was no more dough, that doesn’t make sense.
