Livermore is a city of nearly 100,000 people on the eastern edge of the Bay Area. It’s known for its award-winning wineries and spacious ranches. The restaurants in the area are also excellent, and it seems like there’s always a new restaurant bursting onto the scene. Below you’ll read about eight new Livermore restaurants that you may not have heard about yet. You’ll want to make plans to try these restaurants as soon as you can.
1. KOMYO SUSHI
2700 Dublin Blvd, Dublin, CA 94568
In nearby Dublin, Komyo Sushi sits off Fallon Rd near the San Francisco Premium Outlets. This top-notch restaurant offers a variety of delicious entree choices, including the Chicken Katsu and the Miso Glazed Salmon. Specialty roll choices include the Komyo roll with lobster salad and topped with fatty tuna. You may also enjoy the Sunshine Roll with shrimp tempura and salmon. Komyo Sushi is closed on Mondays, but they are open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner between 5 pm and 8 pm. They are also open for lunch between 11 am and 2:30 pm Wednesday through Sunday.
2. ZACHARY’S PIZZA
337 Main St, Suite B, Pleasanton, CA 94566
Zachary’s Pizza opened in Pleasanton in September 2021. They are known for their deep dish pizzas that are anything but traditional. Their first location opened in Rockridge in 1983 by Zach Zachowski and Barbara Gabel. Both originally from Wisconsin, they each had an affinity for deep-dish pizza. What you’ll experience at their restaurant is quite different from what you might have tried at other Chicago deep-dish pizza restaurants. They start with a thin layer of dough spread across the bottom of a deep dish pan. From there, they top the dough with cheese and toppings before spreading another thin layer of dough across the top. Once they cover the top layer with tomato sauce, they place the pizza in the oven and let it cook slowly. You can also order one of their thin pizzas if you prefer.
Zachary’s Pizza has won multiple awards in the past, and Livermore residents will love having a Zachary’s closer to home. Zachary’s opens daily at 11 am. If you want to grab a pie to-go, consider ordering the half-baked pizza that you can finish in your own oven.
3. KILLINEY KOPITIAM
552 Waverley St, Palo Alto, CA 94301
If you can make the drive over to Palo Alto, check out Killiney Kopitiam. This exceptional eatery opened in late 2021 off of Jack London Boulevard. While the restaurant is a new addition, it’s one of the oldest establishments in the entire country of Singapore. You’ll find various curries, nasi lemak, and roti prata on their menu. You can watch traditional Singapore coffee being made inside traditional kettles when you arrive. Killiney Kopitiam recently began expanding into the US, with their first location opening in Palo Alto in 2020. The restaurant is closed on Mondays, but they are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Tuesday through Sunday.
4. POLO’S CORNER
2002 Portola Ave Suite L, Livermore, CA 94551
Polo’s Corner serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily at their new Livermore location. They are well-known for their massive breakfast burritos, but that’s far from the only thing the restaurant has to offer. They also serve ribeye steaks, Eggs benedict, and pasta Pomodoro. Co-owner Angel Mendez got his start in the restaurant industry by cooking at The Club at Castlewood for over 20 years before he decided to open Polo’s Corner. You’ll find several Mexican-inspired dishes on the menu, including Chilaquiles Rojo and Tres Leches French Toast. For a lighter option, try the pear and prosciutto salad topped with a lemon vinaigrette.
5. CALAFIA KITCHEN
1502 N Vasco Rd, Livermore, CA 94551
Califia may be one of the newest Livermore restaurants. They opened in August 2022 with the goal of breaking down barriers when it comes to beliefs and culture. They seek to provide dishes with a unique blending of flavors to provide the fuel that people need to keep going. They are passionate about serving their community, and they value excellence and authenticity in everything they do.
The breakfast menu includes several omelets and eggs Benedict plates along with pancakes, waffles, and French toast. You can also find Mexican-inspired breakfast dishes like the chilaquiles with tomatillo sauce and the breakfast burrito with chorizo. Come back for lunch or dinner to try the California chicken sandwich or one of their delicious burgers. They also have an appetizer menu that includes honey lime prawns and nacho plates with flank steak and their house-made tropical sauce. Calafia is open daily from 8 am to 10 pm.

They also schedule a live DJ to perform each weekend, which you can enjoy as you spend time with friends on the outdoor patio. On select Sundays, they offer a brunch menu that features pitchers of mimosas along with plates of pork belly benedict or powdered sugar-topped French toast. If you come for dinner, try the Tapas sample with mushroom croquetas and steak skewers before the entrees come out. For your main dish, you’ll choose between the traditional New England Lobster roll or the Big Bird Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Make sure you save room to enjoy the beignet surprise or the churro bites before the meal is over.
