We had a take out, the restaurant looked cozy with the arcade games and the bar. Pizza was a bit cheesy for us, but tasty, my mom liked it. Spaghetti came in a great portion. I'll consider another order when I get tipsy!

The Best pizza in San Francisco period! Had the Margarita. The cheese, sauce and crust were absolutely outstanding! I’m from NY and I know from good pizza, this is right up there with anything I’ve gotten in NY! Whatever your doing, keep doing it!

Location, it’s like a little hole in the wall. However, their pizza and pasta was not bad. We ordered a margarita pizza and the Hawaiian pizza. Pizza is not my favorite since I am lactose intolerant however it was not bad. I had 1 slice of each and it was delicious. We also ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Their portions are huge so we had a lot of leftovers.

Awesome pizza and spaghetti carbonara. Stayed across the road at hotel 1550 and ordered a pizza and some pasta to go. The pizza had lots of toppings with a delicious crust. The spaghetti was also excellent. Good sized portions for the price. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

If you are looking for a place to eat good pizza then this is place. Good portion . Love the fresh and warm bread they served too. Only downside: the place I went was very warm inside the restaurant.

Great place for family and friends because most of the tables are for more than four people. The food is great for more of a local family style pizza and pasta. Everything tasted fresh and reasonable seasoned so not salty and just right to taste the ingredients. Plenty of street parking available and quiet environments.

Just had dinner (other couples staying across the street at hotel 1550 too) and loved it. The people were so friendly - Chris and Zion. We really enjoyed the food. We had lasagna (meat) and Caesar salad. Fresh homemade delicious. Very friendly place.
