    Excellent service here and made us feel at home. Server suggested the popular pizza of ottoman and bergamo. Waited about 10-15 minutes for a medium pizza. While we were waiting, the server offered us Turkish tea. Came out very hot for the cool night. Pizza was freshly baked and had a very crispy and thin crust. Flavorful pizza. The bergamo was my favorite. The balsamic glaze gave it a nice sweetness to contrast the savory Turkish pastrami. The Stracclatella topped it off with a cheesy gooey texture. Offered us baklava for being first time customers. Perfect treat to end with as it was not too sweet. It had strong nuttiness and layered crisps. This spots opens late and has lots of regulars come in during the hour we stayed. Love the relationship the store maintains. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking in front of store.

    Lamacun

    Amazing Turkish pizzas! The lamacun was just so light and crispy! We also got a Turkish flatbread with pepperoni which was also delicious! I'd highly recommend this place. The people working there are also super nice!

    Where to find NY-Style Pizza with Turkish Twist in the Bay Area! .. and the best part: it's open late! @mateopizza__ is open until 2am everyday for those late night cravings. They also use halal meats and really put love and joy into the food they make. Here for the pizza, but don't skip the desserts! Service is super friendly and it's a small space but can definitely do a grab and go

    We are having pizza here for the first time. The pizza is hand made and delicious. If your visiting San Francisco give it a try.

    Came to Mateo Pizza and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It looks like they mostly do to-go, but if you choose to eat in like us, there are a few tables set up so you can. We ordered 2 large pizzas all half and half such that we could maximize trying flavors. I personally liked the truffle mushroom pizza and the Turkish pastrami pizza best! Moreover, the pizza was tender and the cheese pull was strong! The owner was super kind too. As we wound down our meal, he also offered us Turkish tea which helped to cut the greasiness and also gave us a small plate of Turkish delights which allowed us a sweet bite to wrap up our meal. Now that's what I call service! Needless to say, my friends and I have now been recommending Mateo Pizza to our other friends too. I also want to come back to try the more traditional pide!

    Turkish Flat bread
    Nehir Ezgi K.

    We Turks are very fond of Turkish flat bread (lahmacun). I've tried it at many places, but this is the first time I've had one in America that tastes this authentic. The dough was incredibly thin and crispy, and the filling was full of flavor. I can honestly say it was outstanding. At the same time, the service and hospitality were truly top-notch. I definitely recommend it.

    The pizza was absolutely delicious, some of the best crust I've ever had - very fluffy! Nice indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside, it was beautiful out. Service was excellent, the owner is very nice. Definitely recommend coming by!

    I'm writing this 0-star review as a loyal customer who used to order here often and even left a 5-star review just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the management showed the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I placed my order through DoorDash like always. Later, I received a call from the restaurant claiming I had already picked up my order, even though I clearly hadn't. When I denied it, the person on the phone (Elias) called me a liar, said they had it on camera, and then hung up on me. I was shocked, so I drove there myself to clear things up. When I confronted Elias in person and told him it was me who placed the order, he finally admitted he would make it. But at that point I was so angry, insulted, and disappointed that I refused to take the food and walked out. I have never seen such unprofessional, disrespectful behavior from a restaurant. After this experience, I will never order from here again.

    Cappadocia Pizza (S)
    Brandon U.

    I walked away feeling quite negative about my experience. First of all, the prices of these pizzas are wild. But, I like to support local and the reviews were quite encouraging. I place my order for the Cappadocia pizza. They bring the pizza out to me, we open the box, and it's just a pepperoni pizza. I ask "where's the rest of it?" They take it back inside, throw a couple arugula leaves on it and *whole* pepperoncinis...not even sliced. They handed it to me and I looked at it stunned, but decided "this isn't worth fighting about at this point." See photo attached. The crust was very average, nothing special. For those prices and these reviews, I would expect much better. Won't be going back.

    Ottoman Pizza (M)
    Naomi J.

    Absolutely blown away with the quality of the Mediterranean flat bread (5/5 stars), it was thin, crispy, flavorful! We also got the ottoman pizza (2/5 stars) which was of a similar quality to a chain pizza (like Dominos and Papa John's). It had a thick, doughy, and bland crust, tons of cheese, and not much sauce. We'll be back again to try other flatbreads, but we'll be passing on the pizza, I think. Servers were kind and attentive, the space is tiny but new and clean.

    I love the food here. Authentic Turkish food made with passion and love. Would recommend. Very nice people.

    Diced lamb pide
    Finau K.

    Place has gone downhill real bad. You're better off going to seniores that's halal meat and better quality. Absolutely disgusting place now

    Pausa is hands down my FAVORITE restaurant in San Mateo…read more They make their pizza crust in-house and you can truly taste the difference. The crust is chewy on the inside and has a perfect crunch on the outside. They also give you scissors to cut it up which is fun!! The menu changes with the seasons and I always try to get something new I'm here. Service is always really friendly. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and almost is too pretty for San Mateo. You feel like you're in a restaurant in LA (I mean that as a compliment)! This restaurant will wow anyone on a date night. This is my go-to spot to take guests whenever they're visiting me in the bay. [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion]

    Decent Italian food! Pretty pricey though, dark ambiance. Not my particular cup of tea though I…read moreunderstand the allure. I get why people may like it but just not for me! Food (6/10) - I have mixed feelings about the food. On the one hand, all the appetizers were absolutely DELICIOUS. The creamery burrata with the slightly charred bread had an amazing crunchy texture that was followed by the smoothness of the burrata. The bone marrow had a super rich flavor (that also paired great with the focaccia). On the other hand, I wasn't the biggest fan of the entrees, which arguably, should be the stars of the meal. The mint with the lamb was definitely interesting and added a nice zing. I wasn't a super big fan of the overall lamb taste and texture though. The lamb's pull apart texture reminded me a lot of ribs (which is FINE) but didn't give me that characteristic lamb flavor. Since it was slow braised, that kind of flavor was lost. Additionally, the pasta was extremely chewy and borderline hard. I fully understand the concept of al dente BUT this was not a pleasant mouth feel. It was such a strange texture to bite straight through the pasta with this super firm texture. Price (5/10) - This kind of restaurant is bound to be expensive; you can kind of read from the vibe. I just don't find this place to be particularly worth the cost. I'm sure they use "the freshest ingredients" but the taste is not reflective on the price. I've had comparable or better food for cheaper and much better food for relative prices. Even a small pasta dish costs $30+. Ambiance (7/10) - The dark ambient lighting is intended to "set the mood" but it's just so dark in there :') Service (10/10) - What they do hit on is the amazing service of a restaurant like this! The servers are super friendly and amazing. They know the menu well and give great recommendations. Overall, this particular restaurant wasn't my cup of tea but I can understand if you ARE a fan. Give it a try if you're a fan of Italian but I wouldn't make the trip again.

    Best pizza I've had in California…read more I ordered a Margharita pizza with olives and mushrooms. Both the toppings can only be described as "artisan." There was a variety of olives, a variety of mushrooms, both marinated artfully so they were juicy (but not soggy) and tender and oh, so flavorful. Just wonderful. I had intended to take half home, but there was no hope of that. Down the hatch! Washed by an excellent IPA on draft. Highly, highly recommended. There's parking front and half a block to the back. Lots of seating for eating-in. Clean and friendly. And the pizza: oh my.

    Well lit, modern pizzeria with a selection of red and white pies to choose from. We ordered the…read moresalsiccia and turtufo pizzas, which were both pretty tasty in flavor. Personally for me, I like my crust a bit thicker, so this was a bit too thin for me. As a result, the sauce from the pizza made the bottom part of the dough kind of soggy. Had to eat it with a knife and fork and it was a bit messy. So texture wise, this pizza was not up to my standards. Taste wise, I would say these are some decent pizzas. You've got a good amount of toppings and get that nice, wood fire touch to each bite. Service is friendly and the overall atmosphere is pretty nice. Better for dining in with a fork and knife and not to pick up/eat to go!
