Gialina - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. Sharon provided awesome service, and the pizza was absolutely delicious. I was particularly impressed that they were able to make me a gluten, dairy-free pizza. I wish I was having it right now 🤤.

What a warm and authentic restaurant experience! We savored some of the best pizzas I've ever had. It was fantastic!

My experience at the restaurant was positive, featuring novel pizzas and great service. It's a good option when you're in the neighborhood. While traffic can be thick, especially after work, and parking is hard to come by, the restaurant is very accessible by public transit.

It's been years since I last tried Gialina, and I'm so happy that it's still around and delivering simple but consistent quality food. We enjoyed three dishes: a Caesar salad, a cucumber salad, and a pie, accompanied by a glass of wine. I personally think Gialina makes one of the best pizza doughs in SF; it's crunchy, super thin, and perfectly balanced with the toppings. The Caesar salad with white anchovies is delicious and really gets your taste buds fired up for the main course. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed. Thumbs up for this place and its crew!

My experience at this restaurant was excellent on all fronts! It’s a tiny place, so I do recommend calling ahead to see if they’re busy or just hanging out front if you’re willing to wait. Their diavola pizza is to die for!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially as someone with Celiac disease. The Gluten-free option was great, featuring a super GF crust and artisan quality toppings. They also had a great IPA in stock. The service by Nick was fantastic, contributing to an overall excellent experience.

My experience at this charming old-school spot was fantastic. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere with real people, and you can truly feel the pride of the employees, some of whom have been there for over 17 years! We tried four pizzas, and each was delicious, featuring a perfectly thin, toasty crust. The slices were light and crisp, making them easy to hold. For dessert, the Nutella pizza was an absolute treat, though I would have preferred it as thin as the other pizzas. The house Italian red wine was the perfect complement to the meal. I highly recommend checking this place out. Nicky, thank you for all the advice on what to order.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The crust was light and crispy, and the fresh mozzarella was delicious. I especially enjoyed the phenomenal polenta with meatballs. The staff was super helpful and created good vibes. The food arrived extremely fast. The decor/aesthetic is minimal and clean.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great spot for pizzas, salads, and even some good desserts. I particularly enjoyed the Amatriciana, which was hard to beat. The service was also great to boot.

My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing. The atmosphere felt cramped, with tables placed so close together that our chairs were guaranteed to bump into other guests. The service was mediocre; we felt judged throughout our meal, and it seemed like the servers were doing us a favor by allowing us to dine there, even with a reservation and a 2-year-old. The food was the biggest letdown. While the flavors of the toppings on the New York New York pizza and atomic pizza were good, the crust was extremely chewy, reminiscent of a home cook's attempt. Both pizzas suffered from this issue. The peppers with goat cheese appetizer and tiramisu dessert were decent, but not enough to salvage the meal. I am not likely to recommend this place to a friend.
