The Heart Behind Every Slice

Round table pizza began as a dream shared around a family kitchen table in Livermore, California. Our founders, Maria and Thomas Rossi, believed that great pizza brings people together — much like the legendary round table of Arthurian lore, where every seat is equal and every guest is valued.

In 1995, they opened the doors of our first location on E Stanley Blvd with just three recipes, a wood-fired oven, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Word spread quickly. Neighbors became regulars. Regulars became family.

Today, Round table pizza serves thousands of guests each month, but our philosophy remains unchanged: source the finest ingredients, hand-craft every pie, and treat every customer like royalty. Our dough is made fresh daily, our sauces slow-simmered from vine-ripened tomatoes, and our toppings sourced from trusted local and regional suppliers.
