A little on the $$$ side but once we got our pizza it was worth the price. Only negative was the hidden osurcharge for using our credit card was a surprise since they don't tell you till after you've paid
Pretty good pizza here. $35.75 for a large 3 topping. I usually get my pizzas at Bravo but they are closed during lunchtime. Bravo's 3 topping pizzas are only $28.50. After some research, I realized North Beach Pizza has $27 (26+1 "support local fee") offer for a 3 topping large pizza on their website which I don't believe apply when you order through the phone because it didn't in my instance. So, heads up on their confusing ordering system.
My lunch was a large pepperoni, pesto and sausage pizza. The pesto blended well with the tomato based sauce and soft dough. The pizza was was really oily which I liked. Be careful if you put the box on top of your nice tablecloth. In terms of toppings allocation and amount, they are ranked below Bravo and Toto's in San Bruno. Regardless, this is one of the better pizza makers in this area. Good job.
Substantial pizza, fair pricing, and cozy seating make this North Beach Pizza location worthy of four stars.
Near closing time, I went here for some food. I'd never been to any North Beach Pizza location, so I spent some time flipping through the extensive menu before asking the cashier what he recommended. He said he liked the margherita pizza, so that's what I got. I got the personal size, because I was alone and that seemed like a reasonable option because they didn't seem to have single slices at the time. However, I didn't see that it said 10 inches, so I assumed it would be the size of a small plate. I also wanted a drink, so I bought a bottle of Martinelli's apple juice. My total was about $17 after taxes, excluding tip.
While my pizza was being made, I went to the restroom, which was clean enough and kind of dimly lit. The dining area was even dimmer, with overhead lamps that focused on the tables. There wasn't a lot of seating, but there was enough. This place probably gets crowded during the day.
When my pizza was brought to me, I was shocked at how big it was. I struggled to eat half of it, because I wasn't particularly hungry. The crust was definitely thicker than other margherita pizzas I've had. It was crisped, but also nice and soft, kind of like a fresh pretzel. I feel like their dough would make great breadsticks. The cheese was nice and stretchy, but the basil wasn't exactly neatly chopped and could've been spread out a little more. Also, the tomato slices were kind of thick. After finishing half, I got a box and took the rest for later.
I feel like I got plenty of food for the price. The service was excellent considering they were about to close. I didn't really like the pizza, but it was still decent and I think I would've liked it more if I were hungrier. Overall, I feel like the experience deserved four stars.
