I've always passed by Rise Woodfire and finally got the chance to check it out. I had ordered the Brussels sprouts, burrata and a calabrese + honey pizza. The Brussels sprouts were pretty average but the burrata was really good. The burrata was creamy and just right with the pesto. The pizza was rather small for the price but it was still pretty delicious, not sure if I would reorder the pizzas though.

Can't say enough great things about Rise! I love how fresh their ingredients are and how delicious the crust is! Must try pizzas: Beef back + arugula (mouth watering short rib!) Medjool date + chevre (sweet and savory!) Calabrese + honey (sweet and spicy!)

My work always orders the pizza from here. I always enjoy. So 4 stars because they are doing it. The service was friendly in person, the pizzas are decent.

You simply cannot lose with a meal at Rise. I've been to both locations (their first pizza-only concept is in Burlingame) and I always leave happy, satisfied, and smiling from an all-around great experience. Their pizza is fantastic so it's hard for me to ever order anything else - it's the real deal and if anyone dares to leave any crust behind I make sure to take care of it :) Pro tip: convince your crew to order a variety so you can try as many as possible, and split any leftovers to take home. I've also tried their meats and rotisserie items and everything I've tasted has been excellent. The train station setting is fun and lively, I usually sit outside if it's just the family but they also have a great large group area for a more private party. 10 out of 10 every time!!

The food was subpar, but Linda, our server, was exceptional. We had to change tables three times due to cramped seating indoors. Initially, we were placed uncomfortably close to other tables. Moving outside, we were met with chilly air despite heaters being present. Finally, we relocated to a corner table with no draft. However, at 9pm, Linda's shift ended, and we were informed that the restaurant closes at 11pm, but heaters on the patio were turned off around 9pm, hinting at our departure. The rest of the staff seemed less friendly, possibly due to being overworked.

Traditional pizzas are a thing of the past. Rise provides variety of options and choosing one pizza is a challenge. I often try a variety that satisfies all my taste buds. I can say my favorites are, Margherita, Funghi, Medjool date pizzas, along with the Wedge salad, Brussels sprouts, Truffle Fries and let's not forget about the fish . Great venue and staff. Highly recommended

Love love love!!!! The quality is amazing and the location is awesome. Love the truffle fries and Brussels. It's a must everytime! The rotisserie chicken sandwich, French dip and every one of their pizzas are just amazing and on point. Highly recommend coming here to relax, grab a drink, eat some great food and enjoy the amazing atmosphere. The service was very tentative and on top of it! Go visit Rise! I also love the Burlingame location!

Omg this restaurant was so beautiful! The seating area inside is a bit tight, but we noticed there was an a patio with way more tables, perfect for bigger groups. The service was excellent; very kind workers. The Caesar salad was good! But the croutons were a bit off. The mac and cheese was delicious! We also ordered a side of truffle fries, which were a bit salty, but paired well with the sauce it came with. I would say the pizzas were just okay, nothing amazing, but it was still good! I think this place would be awesome for a big group of people or even for a party. Other than that, I feel like I could get better tasting pizza somewhere else.
