Corner Slice — Restaurant in Livermore

I’ve been going on a Bay Area Pizza tour and have come across what the critics say have been the best - Rose and Emilia’s in Berkeley, June’s in West Oakland, Outta Sight and Jules in SF, and AK Pizza in Seattle(not Cali, but hey, it’s still a pizza tour!)

I am astounded by Joe’s hospitality and kindness as I came to pick up my two pies on a late Sunday afternoon. The overall vibe of the pizza joint is like an 80’s 90’s kid bedroom meets pizza place in the most awesome way possible - like walking into a Blockbuster or Hollywood Video turned Pizza Joint.

The dough of Corner Slice felt 85% NY and 15% Neapolitan to me - thin and crispy, but with a slight breadier feel. It allowed you to enjoy the thinness of a NY slice and the dough quality of a Neopolitan. When eating the crust, it legit felt like a unique and faint Parmesean sourdough bread feel which attests to the quality of the dough.

The real winner here is the Hot Honey and Burrata pizza.. my God, this was sweet and savory heaven. The owner uses Zabb’s which is a premium brand, and the flavor profile is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. This was slightly sweeter than most HH and Burratas I’ve had, but it was awesome that way. If you’ve had stratiacella on a crostini before it felt a bit like that with a mix of savory pepperoni. I loved this pie so much.

Some feedback on the mushroom pie: it didn’t really quite hit the mark for me sadly - even with the sausage and garlic add-on, I felt like the flavor was one note and missing something. I felt like the sauce was just extremely lackluster and needed more oomph. The dough was still consistent and excellent, however.

However, that doesn’t takeaway from the awesomeness of this shop and its owner. Joe is an awesome guy and I can’t wait to head back and support him. It is worth the pre-order and waiting game. There’s lots of pizzerias in the Bay Area and each one has a unique story and owner with a passion to share their craft, and indeed, Corner Slice is one...

I had heard about Corner Slice through a mural contact but had not had the chance to get it that way before. Now, I am very sad I have not gone sooner. This place is by far and away the best pizza I have had since moving to CA nearly five years ago.

I have a group of friends where we pick a city and then visit to only eat pizza and try to find hidden gems. In my time in the Bay area I have visited over 40 pizza places in the search for the best slice. Previous top contenders were Golden Boy, Bibo's, Slice House, and Tony's Pizza Napoletana. All of those have great pies, but the two we had today at Corner Slice put them to shame.

I don't think I can make the 2-hour round trip often, but I will now find any excuse to head over the Bay to grab some of this amazing pizza.

Now that one of the only negative reviews starts they weren't open during business hours, but this is a two person restaurant and they only stay open until they run out of dough each day. I talked with the owners/chefs and they said they can only make about 40-50 pies a day based on how they prepare the dough. I see this as a positive as you know you are getting fresh pizza. Like Chicago Voting, go...

Last night my husband suggested we try out this new pizza place in town and I am so glad he did! We have eaten at almost every pizza place in Livermore and Pleasanton. Livermore has needed something like Corner Slice in town for a long time! It’s affordable, delicious, and has a cool vibe. The owners Kam and Joe are friendly and really care about the quality of their product. They have carefully curated a menu with unique and flavorful pairings. The crust is a perfect combination of crunchy with a nice soft chew to it. The tomato sauce tastes like summertime. The cheese is flavorful (unlike many types of mozzarella used on pizzas). All of the ingredients used are fresh.

I am so glad that they chose Livermore to open in and will definitely add them into my regularly eating out rotation. Plus, if you’re from Guam (like I am) Kam and Joe will gladly talk island life! (I enjoyed myself so much I forgot to take any...
