Food (7.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 90% of the guests
When it comes to the food, this spot generally hits the mark! With a solid score of 7.7 and customer satisfaction at 77.5%, its clear many diners are enjoying their meals. Out of 169 customer remarks, a whopping 131 were positive, frequently praising the delicious "pizza, " "crust, " and "fresh, high-quality ingredients, " with some even raving about the "homemade ice cream.
"However, not every bite is perfect, as 30 comments pointed to areas for improvement. Some found the "pizza" to be "stale" or the "sauce" to taste like ketchup, while others felt the "toppings" werent fresh. While these are certainly things to consider, they represent a smaller portion of the overall feedback.

Frequently criticized
- parkingThe place was nice enough. Parking was null, as it was in downtown Frisco. It was definitely an experience, as a singing crackhead came in, threw a soda, and then warned me of the ghosts hahhahahah.
- locationI've only got one thing to say about Modena's Pizza: it's hands down, the absolute, no doubt about it, best pizza in the city. The location sucks, but what can you do? It's 6th Street, that's the armpit of San Francisco.
- neighborhoodit's a bit dicey. The neighborhood is not recommended.
- 6th Street between Market and Missionit's on 6th Street between market and mission which is not exactly like walking through the park
- insideThey also have a selection of liquor. The inside needs some cleaning, but the ice cream itself was surprisingly good.
- part of townIt felt like it was dressed up in sheeps clothing. Not to mention its in a super unfortunate part of town that no one should walk through at night.

- tables and seatingMy experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The place is very small with very little tables and seating. It felt like it was dressed up in sheeps clothing.
If you're seeking a cozy, welcoming spot with convenient late hours, this place might be a hidden gem worth checking out. Just be prepared for a potentially small space and a location that some find less than ideal, especially regarding parking.

Good Pizza, Risky Neighborhood
This place seemed like the least bad option in the neighborhood. It was a pleasant surprise; the welcome was very friendly, they speak French, and the pizzas are excellent. Expect to pay around $35 for a pizza and a Greek salad (without drinks).
For a group of four (2 adults, 2 children), it was manageable. However, even being only 300-400 meters from the Yotel, walking back at 9 PM requires some travel experience; it's a bit dicey. The neighborhood is not recommended.
It's better to blend in and not linger when returning. Wearing dark, hooded jogging attire with nothing tempting helps things go smoothly. Usually.
The local population, while concerning, isn't aggressive. Usually.
