Disappointing Pizza and Unwelcoming Service
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was truly disappointing. The pizza was underbaked on top and burnt beyond recognition on the bottom, a combination I didn’t think was possible. When I politely asked about it, the staff seemed unwelcoming and dismissive, creating an awkward atmosphere that made the situation even worse. To make matters worse, when I requested a replacement, they served another pizza that was practically raw in the center. It felt like the kitchen had no idea how to handle the oven properly. Overall, it was an unpleasant dining experience, and I left feeling frustrated and unwelcome. Definitely not a place I’d recommend for authentic pizza.

Cash Only Surprise, Great Food!
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was excellent, rated a 5, and the atmosphere was also a perfect 5, the payment situation was a significant issue. I arrived expecting to pay with a debit card, only to discover they only accept cash or credit. This inconvenience led me to use Uber, which was frustrating 😕.

Delicious Pizza and Pasta with Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the great pizza, which was very yummy. I highly recommend adding the peppers or using the chili oil for a touch of spice. I also really loved the pesto pasta. The service and staff were great, and the atmosphere was pleasant. It was a quiet environment, making it easy to talk. I also appreciated the large vegetarian selection and the fact that it's highly recommended for vegetarians. The wait time was non-existent, and parking was free street parking, although finding a spot was somewhat difficult.

Excellent Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
I absolutely love this restaurant! The staff are incredibly professional and passionate about the food they serve, and for good reason – it’s excellent! The prices are reasonable, offering great value for money. I also love the outside seating (weather permitting) for people-watching while dining. It's definitely worth a visit, and I'll be returning!

Favorite Italian Spot in North Beach
These pizzas are my Italian husband’s favorite — and mine too! We often hang out around North Beach, and whenever we can, we stop by to try something new. If you can, make a reservation — it gets pretty busy on weekends!

Excellent Dinner with Amazing Pizza!
My experience at this restaurant was excellent! My eldest son declared his pizza was the best he's ever had. My carbonara was quite good as well. The waiter spoke fluent Italian, which was a lovely touch. The food arrived so quickly, it seemed like we'd only just placed our order. I highly recommend this place!

Amazing Pizza, Fast Service!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food came out in less than 5 minutes and was great. I had the best pizza I've ever had, and it was only for $20. The service was incredibly fast, and the atmosphere was also a perfect 5/5. Overall, a great meal and experience.

Great Pizza Place with Excellent Service
What a great spot! The service was lovely, and the waiters were helpful in advising those who were undecided on what to choose. I had the Diavola pizza, and it was very good ❤️. The second pizza, 'Tonno', was average, but that's a matter of taste and personal preference for certain ingredients. Despite this, we highly recommend this place! :)
