    Rigatoni with vodka sauce
    kyle e.

    Small but lively ambiance inside. Whoever is on aux usually kills it. Great vibes and can't beat the $60 deal that they offer (Pizza, Pasta, App, Dessert for $60) Food: App: Avocado Salad is the only one I've had, I just keep getting it. It hits crazy if you are into balsamic glaze. Rigatoni vodka is a safe delicious option and won't disappoint. I'm looking forward to trying the pesto or truffle pasta next time. For pizza, I've had the Ike on fire and Patatacia. Both tasted incredibly fresh with the dough being noticeably fluffy/soft. And the servers are all really friendly and accommodating when it comes to the menu and wait time. There is typically a wait so get a quick reservation online before you go.

    Incredible ambiance, great vibes inside. They played indie music which was so fun. Didn't have a reservation when they opened on Saturday but still got a table in the corner. Staff are friendly and attentive, but also let us enjoy our own company., the right amount of service. The food is so good. -The truffle pasta tartufo blew me away. It was so creamy and wasn't overpowering with the truffle flavor. I think that was my favorite. -Brock Purdy pizza was fresh with the tomato sauce and ricotta. It was fluffy, doughy, & soft. -The Gotham pizza was cheesy, messy, and yummy with a regular crust.

    Walked in at 4pm on a Friday right when they opened! No reservation, no problem. They seated us immediately, which was a great start. If you don't have a reservation, I recommend getting there early because the restaurant is small and has limited seating. The menu is refreshingly straightforward, and the $60 combo is absolutely the move: appetizer or salad, pasta, pizza, and dessert. We both ordered it without realizing we didn't have to but honestly, no regrets. We left with leftovers and full hearts. For the price, the portions are genuinely shocking in the best way. Service was friendly and fast throughout. No long waits, no awkward gaps, just a really smooth, enjoyable meal from start to finish. Here's everything we tried: Pink Onion Salad: Don't let the simplicity of "salad" fool you. This thing was massive and packed with great ingredients: romaine, goat cheese, toasted pecans, currants, fresh berries, and a blood orange vinaigrette that hit the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. A great way to start. Rigatoni Vodka: The undeniable star of the table. Nearly everyone around us had it, and one look at the photos online and I knew I had to order it -- no regrets. Super creamy with a subtle kick of spice that sneaks up on you in the best way. The portion was enormous. Get this! Rigatoni Amatriciana: Perfectly salted thanks to the guanciale, with a satisfying texture and pasta cooked to perfection. A more classic, comforting option that delivered on every level. Gotham Pizza: My personal favorite of the two pizzas. It's essentially a elevated pepperoni pizza, and the hot honey drizzle takes it somewhere unexpected and delicious. Simple but memorable. Magic Mushroom Pizza: Loaded with prosciutto and incredibly flavorful. This one was clearly popular -- we kept seeing it come out of the kitchen for tables around us, and for good reason. Tiramisu & Basque Cheesecake: Both desserts are generous enough to share between two people. The basque cheesecake was great, but the tiramisu was the standout! Perfectly sweet and less bitter than most, which is a hard balance to get right. Overall, an incredible value and a really enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, though the Rigatoni Vodka might just be a permanent order every time.

    Combo meal

    We have been such longtime fans of Pink Onion. Their Wednesday deal (though it's gone up in price over the years) is sooo worth the money. We're always able to snag a table/bar seats for 2 on Wednesday evenings. Be warned, the place is loud and packed but service is good, and we don't usually have to wait too long for our food. Our go-to selections for the Combo Meal are: Parma E Burrata plate (sweet, salty, fresh), Pasta Tartufo (truffle pasta that is to die for), Pink Alarm Fire (classic), tiramisu, and white wine. I always leave Pink Onion very satisfied and eager to return!

    Steamed Mussels
    Jared D.

    I think the Wednesday dinner deal is a great bang for your buck. Comes with app/salad, pasta, pizza, desert, and bottle of wine. This is a lot for $60. The service has good timing for each and the inside is a cute little space with a bit of a grungy feel that I dig. Got the seasonal salad, steamed mussels, vodka sauce pasta, Brock purdy, tiramisu, and a bottle of white for 3 people. My favorite item was the pasta, little on the creamier side for my taste though, (I like a tomatoooos a lot). The Brock purdy was a great square pizza. I would definitely come back to get another $60 dinner deal.

    Came here for dinner on monday and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience. The place was severely understaffed, which led to very slow service and a server who kept forgetting our basic requests - we had to ask for bread five times before it ever showed up and ended up asking someone else for it to arrive at our table. We were seated outside only to find that the patio heaters were out of gas, leaving us freezing the entire meal with no warning. As for the food, it was just okay. The mussels were soo fishy and didn't taste fresh, and the crust on the pizza was way too thick for our liking. None of the dishes we chose was memorable, the truffle pasta was pretty solid but standard and nothing to write home about.

    First time at pink onion and it did not disappoint. All for the dished were great except the steamed mussels. While the flavor of the mussel broth was very unique we were thrown back by how many pieces of mussels that were not cleaned properly. A lot of them still had the beard attached making them hard to eat. We came on a Monday and they weren't crazy busy so we felt comfortable and not rushed with our meal. I didn't see my friend in a while so it was nice to catch up. Service was attentive and friendly.

    Sicilian Meatballs
    Brennan S.

    Pink Onion delivers on classic Italian flavor. Located in the lively Mission district in SF, Pink Onion offers a solid blend of Italian dishes in a comfortable, fast-casual setting. First, our service was great. Our waitress was really attentive and gave us a lot of information regarding the menu. A couple of my friends and I split the Combo Meal. Consisting of 1 pizza, 1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 dessert and 1 bottle of wine (only on Wednesday's! We went on Thursday). The food was absolutely delicious- and for the price: undeniabley worth it. First, the bread for the table was warm and fresh. The appetizer we chose were the Sicilian Meatballs. The meat was tender and the sauce was savory- with hints of rosemary. For pasta, we got the Pasta Al Tartufo. The creaminess of the parmesan cheese with the earthiness of the truffle shavings was delicious. For pizza, we opted for the Hotboy. Which is crushed tomato, fresh mozzarella. mikes hot honey and spicy sopresatta. It was fresh and the hot honey complimented the peppery sopresatta nicely. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu for dessert. It was light, fluffy and had a decadent coffee-vanilla flavor, also ... the portion size was massive! So worth it. Pink Onion is amazing and I can't wait to go back.

    Pear and Endive Salad
    Michelle M.

    Was in the mood for a good salad, pizza & pasta deal for a girls date night & TikTok brought me here! Heads up, reservations are a good idea we just so happened to slip in before the rush and got a table quickly. We ordered the $60 deal that comes with 1 appetizer or salad, 1 pasta, 1 pizza & 1 dessert & (on Wednesdays they add a bottle of wine to the deal). We went on a Tuesday so no wine, but the food was - absolutely phenomenal. The menu was overwhelming at how many delicious options they had. We went with the Pear Endive Salad that came with Endives, pears, gorgonzola cheese, candied pecans & balsamic dressing, Pasta Tartufo which had parmesan truffle cream & I requested to substitute with Rigatoni pasta, Gotham Pizza which had pepperoni, sausage, ricotta, & Mikes hot honey & the Tiramisu for desserts. 10/10 will definitely be coming back !

    This place is such a vibe!!!! Very small restaurant and intimate table settings - can get pretty loud and it was admittedly pretty hard to hear each other but over the noise. But I liked how it gave off a very neighborhood comfy cozy feel. Gabe is the best! So attentive and gave us great suggestions from the menu. We really enjoyed the parma and burrata app and the nayalita pizza was SO good. Truffle pasta was delicious but very rich. Really nice thickness and chewiness of the crust. The complementary bread was also surprisingly delicious! It had a great chew. Can't go wrong with either the tiramisu or cheesecake. Both were great, just depends on what you're feeling. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Def try to go on a Wednesday - everything goes so much better with a bottle of wine:)

    Pasta Tartufo
    Gabriel W.

    Pink Onion Overall: 4.4/5 Pretty good spot to go to for pizza and pasta and the portions are great for the price. Shared the combo meal between 2 and it was plenty. Definitely will be waiting, it's a small place and was quite busy for a Monday night. I imagine the lines would get quite long on Wednesday for the free wine bottle with the combo. We got the mussels for the appetizer, pasta tartufo, soprasetta pizza and tiramisu for dessert. Mussels were very meaty with a nice white wine sauce. Pasta was good, creamy but very overpowered by truffle flavor. Pizza was excellent with a great crust and dough, and the soprasetta and fresh mozzarella were excellent. Tiramisu desert was about average. Not a super strong coffee or chocolate flavor either way. Food was overall good but service was a bit of a let down. Took a while to get our order in and we were not checked in on until near the end of our meal. Had to wait a while for water to be refilled. Granted, it was busy and they have to deal with online orders as well.

    Pink Alarm Fire
    Madison B.

    Cute small restaurant, we came at 4:30 on a Saturday and we got seated right away before the dinner rush. I recommend coming a little earlier to beat the crowds and to not wait in line as it is a small restaurant with not too many seating. They gave complimentary bread and for drinks we tired the rose, italian white, and the mango cider. All three drinks were great! We got the pink fire alarm pizza which was good, it was like a pepperoni pizza elevated with red onions and it was good! We also shared the pasta tartufo, which we got influenced to get because the smell of the truffle from a nearby table smelled so good! Highly recommend getting that pasta as well!

    Pasta Tartufo
    Tiffany Y.

    For the combo price at Pink Onion, this place is so worth it to come to. At $60, you can get a small pizza, pasta, appetizer or salad, and a dessert. It might not seem like a lot of food, but I've come here twice and it can comfortably feed 3 people! Last time, we were so full that we even took the dessert to go. If you also come on Wednesday, you get a free bottle of wine with the combo. When you come in, they give you some complimentary bread to eat with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We tried the pear and endive salad, patataccia pizza, and tartufo pasta, which were all delicious. The tartufo pasta was our favorite and we were using the truffle sauce for our pizza too. I've had the tiramisu and basque cheesecake desserts, which were both great. I bumped this review up to 5 stars because the service was so great. I went with a friend with a food allergy and they really went out of their way to check that everything was safe and offered to sub anything that didn't work. Definitely recommend coming here, but also be mindful of the area because it's not in the safest neighborhood!

    If you order take out on Wed, do they also give you a free bottle of wine?

    Yep, and delivery as well

    Curious what free bottle of wine is offered on Wednesdays?

    I think it's random. I think I got a Malbec last time.

    Is there gluten free pizza options?

    No

    What's the size difference between a small and a large?

    12 inch 6 slices small 14inch 8 slices large

    Is there a beer list anywhere?

    Google results show this list: Heineken 6.00… 

    Truffle bruschetta is one of the review highlights, but it doesn't look like it's on the menu on their website. Is it still available?

    From what I gather, it's a frequent special that they offer.

    Do they have something to offer to vegan people? :-)

    Of course they do ! Name it ! Eggplant ? Mushrooms? Tomatoes ? Garlic? Basil ? Olive Oil ?

The standing area next to the bar was also a cute spot to wait while our table was getting ready. Food-wise, we tried the crudo tasting while the other crudos were fine, they didn't stand out nearly as much as the scallop. The corn and mushroom pasta was very tasty, especially the sauce. We also tried the pesto pasta, which also had excellent texture, but the sauce tasted a bit more charred than I would have liked. Overall, I thought the atmosphere and dining experience were stronger than any individual dish. The communal seating and lively dining area gave the restaurant a great energy. I can see why this place is popular, and the tasting menu is a fun way to try a variety.

The experience began the moment we stepped into the restaurant in San Francisco, where she personally greeted and cared for her guests, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Unlike the typical flour-heavy gnocchi, these potato-based dumplings were incredibly light, tender, and practically melted in your mouth while pairing beautifully with the savory pesto. To finish, the Cannoli Alla Siciliana provided the perfect balance of crunch and sweetness, with a hint of chocolate chips.

Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware.
