Been a fan of North Beach Pizza since I lived in SF. San Mateo location does not disappoint. Good food, healthy portions, and consistently good.

I came here with my family last night and we got the worst service the gentleman who was “helping” us gave us the worst attitude and proceeded to role our eyes at us when we asked to order, we waited 20 mins for him to even acknowledge us. And when we asked for water he told us he doesn’t know if he can bring it bc the cups were all dirty. We can tell he did not want to serve us, we are never coming here again even though we were excited for the pizza.

Regrettable choice for dinner ... $48 for large with 4 toppings (which were very sparingly spaced). Cost was not announced when we finished the order.
We were careful to carry the pizza home, but discovered that the toppings had moved around, into a glutinous mess. Sausage contained too much gristle.

Your driver Hudson is one of the nicest people. Always happy and smiling, his delivery adds to the pizza experience.

Best pizza I have had in a while. North Beach Pizza never disappoints. Your staff is friendly and food is consistently good. My mistake was trying to order pizza and takeout from other restaurants. Okay learned from my mistake. I’m back to stay a dedicated and loyal customer. Thank you!

• pro: balanced sauce to cheese ratio;
• cons: lackluster crust, missing toppings (and a questionable explanation by the manager for such), deceptive marketing, undisclosed fees
Dined in Sunday evening of Sep 7 2025. Fairly empty dining room, was greeted by cashier quickly, and were allowed to seat ourselves. Waitress was prompt and attentive. Ordered off the Brazilian pizza section the 12 inch linguiça acebolada, which was supposed to include kielbasa, onions, oregano, and Kalamata olives (see picture of menu). Pizza came in a reasonable time, but without olives. Waitress came to check part way through (we started eating already, we were hungry) after tending to other customers, and I pointed out the omission of olives to her, to which she said she would check with the kitchen. She came back saying that her manager said yes, they put 4 olives on the pizza, and that the small quantity was due to the fact that Brazilians didn't like olives on pizza. I politely suggested that advertising olives in the description and only putting 4, was not appropriate. She offered to bring olives separately but I declined. In this review i included a picture of the pizza in question, perhaps someone reading this could point out the 4 olives to me, because i counted zero. The bill came and i paid with a credit card. The final check contained a credit card fee (~3.48% by my calculation, see redacted pic of receipt) that was not disclosed on the menu (front and back of the menu attached to this review for reference). I reported this fee to seefees.ca.
I wished they would have used linguiça (either Brazilian or Portuguese), but won't count that against them since the description did say kielbasa. Otherwise this was an extremely disappointing experience. It's one thing to make an honest mistake and omit a topping, but to compound that with a bizarre excuse about Brazilians disliking olives on pizza... that doesn't sit well with me. Admittedly I'm not Brazilian so i can't truly verify that claim, but people who dislike olives will naturally order instead some other pizza that doesn't contain olives on the description. Lying about using 4 olives when none are visible is an even worse offense. If this was a pepperoni pizza that came with 0-4 slices of pepperoni, would anyone think that was acceptable? Would anyone believe offering to bring additional unbaked pepperoni on the side was a sincere effort to make things right?
I can't say that i, or any other consumer, am a fan of hidden fees. Maybe others will read this review and it will help them make an informed choice how to spend their dining dollars now that they know. Hopefully seefees.ca will also update with this fee.
In summary, I believe you should treat others like you want others to treat yourself... and I'm sad to say, North Beach Pizza San Mateo falls extremely short of this standard.
