This Gem of a pizzeria is located in the Heart of Bernal Heights on Cortland Ave! Their pizza they serve is absolute Top Tier quality and delicious! All fresh ingredients and perfectly baked dough! Place is kept very clean compared to other spots in the city! Thank you Paul and staff for the quick and amazing service and pizza!

Paul is an amazing owner! Once you step in you feel like you're part of the family. This has been a family business for over 40 years and they are part of the community. Classic whole in the wall pizza shop that warm and welcoming. Pizza was delicious. One of the few spots that the slices of pizza are made to order. None of that pizza sitting in a glass case for 3 years. Fresh made to order pizza here! I recommend making the stop here.

Can't speak for the service cuz the girls always nice over the phone. But Idk what happend to these guys they used to be so good. Now the cheese just falls right off the slice.

I was working 3 minutes away and knew that there was a familiar pizza joint in the Bernal heights neighborhood. I had never been here in person, but I used to work somewhere that ordered from here often back in 2018. As I sat waiting for my large pizza to be ready, I had some banter with the workers. They said that they have been the same owners for over 40 years now. With that said, I knew that I was gonna be biting into a good pizza pie. I wasn't the only one that was making small talk with the staff. A few others that came to pick up their orders were having the same relaxed conversation about the pizza and their everyday life as if they were long time friends catching up. You gotta love it, this business is clearly ran on quality food, service and respect from the community. Now for the pizza.. I was trying to share with 2 other people so a large was just enough to get the job done. Plenty hot and full of flavor. Lastly, the ambiance was that of a classic old school pizza joint. Strictly business with a couple of tables. I'm glad this place survived the pandemic and hope they stay in business for another 40 years.

BURNT FOR DAYS!!  Had to throw away!

We had delivery of medium size pizza with sausage, pepperoni and pineapple; along with buffalo wings. Both were DELICIOUS.

I know reheated pizza when I see

I've been ordering from this place for the last 8 to 9 years. It's always been good. last few times including last night I was sent a warmed over pizza that was burned, the cheese was congealed and the crust was hard. I'm old enough to know what a reheated old pizza looks like. Heres a few pictures. They sent a fresh one which was good. I am not gonna order from this joint anymore.

We have been coming here for years! Since middle school and now I'm 29, PROPS TO THE CHEFF TODAY! The crust is crisp and yet fluffy and the overall the pizza is delicious I ordered two smalls one basic pepperoni w red sauce and a chicken with pesto sauce. 10 out of 10 . The check out person as always very nice!

Express Special Pizza I think. It was loaded and good! Large already dug into

Amazing NY style pizza right in SF! Huge slices for 5.25 per slice regardless of what flavor you…read moreget. They heat up the slice for you on the spot. Flavors changes on a daily basis. There's one dine in table. Love the asparagus flavor pizza, they drizzle pesto on top. Julian was also delicious. I prefer the white base pizzas.

Ordered delivery from the Hayes St. location last night and the pizza arrived looking like it had…read morebeen carried sideways the entire trip. The entire pizza had shifted in the box, slices were folded over, grease was splattered all over the lid, and it was no longer hot by the time it arrived. What made this even more frustrating was the amount paid for delivery. In addition to the food cost, I paid a $3.99 delivery fee, a $5.70 service fee, and tipped the driver $5.50. For that kind of added cost, I think it's reasonable to expect the pizza to arrive level, intact, and hot. The restaurant is about 4 miles from my house, and it appeared the delivery was made by bicycle, which may explain why the pizza ended up tilted and damaged during transport. I can't say that for certain, but something clearly went wrong between the restaurant and my door. The pizza itself may have been good fresh out of the oven, but the delivery experience completely ruined it.
