Fantastic family friendly spot with amazing food. The shrimp and grits app was delicious and the grits were like a polenta cake and had great flavor. The pizza was thin with a little char and good crust. Cesar salad had a really good dressing and was very fresh. The Chicken Parmesan had great flavor, nice lightly breaded chicken with spaghetti. Can't wait to go back and try some more.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families enjoying dinner.

Every time we come here the food is always excellent! We’re so hungry that I forgot to take pics. The salads are amazing! My favorite app is the shrimp and grits, pizza is very good and so is the pasta! We usually do a family dinner and it never disappoints! Staff is always helpful and on top of it. Get there early, they are always busy!

I drive 40mins for these pies, and the focaccia bread is amazing. Try the spruce soda!

First time dining in here since covid. We had the arancini and cauliflower apps, beet salad, buccatini, and a white clam apizza. Very pleased with everything, my wife especially loved the crispy cauliflower and the apizza.

The only New Haven style pizza place in the bay area. If you have never tried it before, I'd highly recommend the new haven style red pie made in their coal fired oven!

By far the best pizza I've had in the Bay Area and it's not even close. Ok I'll admit some bias as I'm originally from the East Coast and pizza is sacrosanct for us. Pazzo delivers with their CT style pizzas. The crust is crispy, the cheese melts, and done in a wood fired oven? Yeah sign me up for that. Get the clam pizza. You won't regret it.Kid-friendliness: Great kid friendly restaurant.

I love pizza and learned about Pazzo after seeing a reddit thread where Kenji Lopez-Alt of Serious Eats/The Food Lab fame recommended this place, describing it as one of the best New Haven style pizzas outside of New Haven. This place does indeed have incredible pizza - especially recommend the bianca (a white pizza). The pepperoni is also a classic one. Don't think you can go too wrong with any of the flavors though, they do a great job with their pizzas!

Had been yearning for New Haven Clam Pizza,that I had at Sally's.Pazzo did not disappoint! Just wish they were closer to Oakland. Perfect thin crust and tender clams! House Pinot Grigio was very good with the Clam Pizza!Caesor salad was dressed perfectly!

Really good eggplant pizza. The Connecticut style seems to be a thinner toastier crust!

Very long waiting for tables that were open but not enough staff to serve. Meanwhile the restaurant continues serving takeout orders ahead of people waiting patiently. Frustrating.Parking: Fend for yourself street parking.
