“My nephew and I enjoyed it we were on a outing..he loves pizza and the Teenage Mutant Turtles so I saw a sign said all you can eat pizza so I stop by so we played games for about 30 minutes they made our food fresh and it was great service..“

“I just came from Little Caesars right now and we ordered the Thin crust with crazy bread everything came out fresh and delicious and it was super fast when the employees delivered it“

“Simple, Delicious and Friendly!
Stopped by Golden Boy Pizza and tried their Veggie Pizza in a small size — and it absolutely hit the spot! Tasty, fresh, and just the right amount of satisfying.
What made the experience even better was the staff courteous, helpful, and genuinely great at walking you through the options and recommendations. A small touch that goes a long way!
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. 🍕“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“I just walked in during a busy time. The waiters were great and the atmosphere was hoping. I was able to make my order, half bacon&half pepperoni Detroit style. The pizza did not disappoint. I live in Chicago and very picky and this pizza met my expectations. Even good the next morning cold(yes cold).“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“absolutely delicious absolutely delicious delicious New pizzeria I love it clean the crust is excellent“

“There's a lot of great pizza in the Bay and State Flour is right up there. The ambiance, service, and starters are too.

I went in with a friend during a busy summer Saturday last month and we were lucky to get a walk-up table without a wait. One downside: they don't take reservations. Elmwood gets busy, especially when something at Cal brings in the parents/alumni.

Our server was great. We asked for the sausage to go on half of the pizza and they happily obliged. We didn't think about the salad. The server intuited that would be desired and simply put the dried prosciutto for the delicious salad when it came out so my dinner mate could enjoy it just as much as I could. When asked something specific about the wine, she said she was newer & didn't know but would ask someone else. Much appreciated.“

“Update: why did June's take away the 1 pizza that made them so popular??? The margarita was probably my favorite pizza in the Bay area. But instead of just creating a third pie, he decided to remove the one pie that made his business what it is today and replace with a tomato pie with a few burrata blobs. To me that is terrible business practices and hence why I will go to Mama's boys instead for a cheese pie. Craig, you can have more than two pizzas!! Please bring back the margarita. It's what made you what you are today. It's what I told everyone about for the past 2 years. Everyone!

Old review: By far one of the best pizza joints in the Bay Area if not the best. Love love the Margherita pizza pie! The cheese, sauce, sourdough crust - Perfection. Spinach special is also great. The Margherita is probably 9.9 / 10. One bite. Everybody knows the rules.“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“

“First time having Chicago style deep dish pizza and it was so tasty. The sauce is so good.“

“Always a go-to when wanting a fast quick meal. One thing I love is they are open LATE! Someone like me who is constantly on the go or working late ... I know they always got my back! pizza slices are huge and squarish. salads are amazing, workers are always polite and customer service Orientated. I appreciate the consistency!!!“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“Not sure how it’s the fourth-best pinsa in the U.S., unless the other three pinserias are also in San Francisco. It’s perfectly fine if you’re hungry and already on Fillmore, but it probably wouldn’t be my first choice otherwise.

They have a good variety of pinsas, although I didn’t find them as balanced as some others I’ve had. They’re pretty heavy on the cheese, and the sauce is a little too sweet for my taste.

The service was friendly, but could use a few tweaks. The staff were almost too attentive. I don’t really need my water refilled every time I take a sip, and at times it made the meal feel a little rushed; not ideal. Also, pay attention to where the water bottle is placed. Our waiter repeatedly put it right on the edge of the table next to our hands even though there was plenty of room elsewhere.

I do feel some sense of accomplishment that I managed not to knock it over.“

“This place is absolutely incredible! I ordered pizzas for a big family ranging from 12 to 90 years old and we were all ecstatic!

I love the way the ginger comes through in the tandoori. The plain cheese is like a little black dress; goes with everything and everyone loves it! The old guy kept saying, “This is delicious!” and the kids gobbled it up.

It was also lovely to meet the owner. This is going to a new family favorite for sure!!“

“Thank you for supporting local nonprofits!“

“How am I the first person to review this place?? Laura is one of the best in the industry. For those that don't know, she was the right arm for Toni Gemignani, arguably the most famous pizza maker on the planet, through a whole bunch of his concepts since the beginning of both of their careers. She opened her own place in Berkeley and it's great to see her continuing to thrive at the level she did with Tony. Also the food is really good. The sleeper here might be the pasta which gets as much love as the pizzas.“

“The one neighborhood pizza sport bar & restaurant business“

“Wow! Some pizza talent happening at this pizza parlor. Best SF pizza i have had. Fantastic crust. I had a gorgeous white pie with mushrooms and beautiful fresh basil and parmesan on top.
Geat find. Will recommend to all my friends.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“The momo jhol is the absolute star. The tikka pizza is also good, but the momo has been my lunch the past 7 times I have been there. Creamy, rich, and supple soup, with incredibly spiced dumplings. When I have this and a napali beer I can work all day feeling fueled. Slightly barebones in the seating, but the food outshines that“

“I randomly stopped by this pizzeria and honestly, I’m so glad I did!!!!
The pizza was absolutely delicious, and Mustafa, who works here, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and hospitable
The place is not fancy or pretentious at all, it has a cozy homey atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away!! And the prices are very reasonable, especially for San Francisco.
Definitely a lovely little spot that I would happily come back to!thank you ❤❤❤“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“We broke down and had to order out, tonight. Couldn’t wait to get home!“

“There's some slight confusion because ordering from "Slice of Hollywood" from Eat24, you get pizza from Pizza Nation, but that's no big deal. The food is GOOD. Best wings I've ever had delivered, and the pizza is really good as well. plenty of toppings, and so far I've only had great experiences with them. Great combo price deals too!“

“Great food with awesome service! Definitely a San Francisco go to restaurant.“

“Went out of our way to make sure we tried it and have zero regrets. Solid NY pizza and staff was super friendly.“

“The pizza here is truly incredible. I’ve tried the Peking duck and it’s no gimmick. Super great flavor and very unique. Their regular slices are amazing as well. Moved here from nyc and think this place is definitely up to par with what I’ve had in New York. I’d say compared to Za, Golden Boys, and GIOIA pizza (in Berkeley), Outta Sight takes the cake. Go to Outta Sight and try the best pizza in The Bay“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly servers and of course Delicious Italian pizza😋“

“We enjoyed a terrific meal here pre-theater. Having just lived in Italy, we can attest to the authenticity of the menu. We had pizza for lunch, so we focused on the antipasti (heirloom tomato’s, meatballs, cheeses), which were all delish—fresh and flavorful. Delightful desserts as well and nice wine options. I am not going to lie: the neighborhood is a bit rough but the food is worth it.“

“Hella good pizza. great theme“

“This was a late dinner find. I walked in about an hour before closing ordered one of the traditional pizzas, and it was excellent. The service and staff were friendly and extra helpful. This is an excellent place and the traditional options“

“handmade pizza with flare“

“Cute spot for a first date. Solid food, great staff and a mind numbing amount of beers on tap. The staff playlists are definitive deep cuts and current favorites.“

“We got the Rudy and garlic knots, pizza was fantastic however the garlic knots (4 knots for $9) were a little hard hence the 4 star on food. The staff was amazing and it was a chill aptmosphere with sports on the tv 😎 we would absolutely go back but would skip the garlic knots. Great job!“

“I love their pizza so much !!!“

“Great food. Great experience“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“My wife and I went here for a Italian supper and wow was it good! Only good things to say about this place, and the best service we have had In years. We were very impressed!“

“Fantastic artisan pizzas. We always stop by when we’re in the neighborhood!“

“Exceptional neopolotan style pizza. The sauce is light, but held a depth of flavor that lingers in the aftermath. The crust is near perfection. Please don't call it burnt. it's not. Burnt implies mistake. THAT crust is no mistake. I would highly recommend you sit down and eat it right out of the oven. Plus, the outdoor seating in a beautiful rose garden is a nice touch.“

“City Center Pizzeria brings a fantastic, high-energy slice of classic comfort straight to Oakland. The casual, welcoming setup is perfect for a quick lunch break or a relaxed dinner. From their perfectly crispy crusts and rich marinara to the generous, high-quality toppings, every pizza is baked to absolute perfection. I can't wait to visit again.“

“(Make a reservation)
We arrived at Capo’s around 7:20 pm on a Saturday and were told we would have to wait 40 minutes for a table.
As hungry travelers, we said thank you and as we were about to leave, the hostess finds a nook and sat us down outside. I appreciate the fact that she did us that favor.
There were no patio heaters, so if sitting outside or walking in during busy hours, expect to dine outside in the cold with no heat (during winter).

(The Staff)
It was a very busy night, but the staff did a spectacular job in checking in on us.

(The Food)
The appetizers come in a reasonably sized portion, we ordered the garlic bread with mozzarella and was given a complimentary dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
My partner ordered the meat lasagne and I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka with smoked pancetta. The food was really good, it’s unlike anything I have ever had.
Take in mind that the dishes do serve up to 2 people, on busy nights it make take a bit to get your food, and regular pizzas take up to 20 minutes to bake, deep dish pizzas take up to 45 minutes to bake (but they look like they are worth the time!)

(Conclusion)
I would have loved to sit inside, the vibe is really nice. If you are looking for authentic Italian food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, book a reservation at Capo’s.“

“Rolled up at 7:20 AM on a Saturday and found parking very easily on the street in front and practically no line. Caneles weren't available but I don't know if that was because someone had managed to clean shop in 20 minutes or they weren't ready yet. We got:

Quiche Lorraine: excellent, stood up well to microwave reheating and really appreciated the saltiness from the ham, was a full meal with some fruit and a slice of the walnut loaf on the side

Chocolate almond croissant: excellent texture and sweetness

Pain au chocolat: it was good but probably wouldn't buy again simply because I think other things taste better and are more worth the calories/money

Cardamom and walnut scone: my sleeper hit, ordered it because I saw someone else raving about it and wow wow wow so unassuming looking but maybe my favorite?

Ham and cheese cup: my husband's favorite; I had doubts about the hard boiled egg inside as I'm not generally a fan but it wasn't chalky in the slightest

Walnut bread: texture is perfect, soft yet with great body, one of the best loaves I've had in a long time

Caneles: didn't buy this time but have before and they are *chef's kiss*, perfect little hint of alcohol, burnt (but not bitter) sugar taste

Also bought Paris-Brest but that's for dessert tonight.“
