If you’re looking for a classic pizza experience in San Leandro, you’ll likely end up at Bluebird Pizzeria. The unpretentious joint is named for the sports bar that used to be in the space, which maintains elements of the previous tenant: The blue walls are covered with framed stills of baseball players and lined with booth seating. The pies are categorized by meaty (pepperoni, sausage, sopressata), meatless and vegan. Others like the thick, dense grandma pie are made simply with mozzarella, San Marzano tomato sauce, ricotta and basil strips. It’s a carby, saucy pie that’s simple but satisfying. You can dine inside or grab it to go.
