    Chicken Wing ( DRYYYYY AND NOT EDIBLE)
    Akari Y.

    i'm very surprised they have a 4 star rating after the food that i had. The pizza...meh. The chicken wings...absolutely insanely dry and horrible. Like there was NO MEAT because of how dry it was, it taste like jerky but the bad ones. I was skeptical because of this high review but wow i was legit confused because it was that bad.... I had a crazy stomachache and felt horrible after.. :(

    Meatball sandwich

    Definitely 1 of the best meatball sandwiches I've ever had. Service 10/10 - Clean - Really chill spot. Highly recommended.

    Empty plates because the food was too good. Sorry!

    We popped in because of the delicious smells wafting out from the open store front. The interior is super clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. We got sandwiches which were super fresh and flavorful. Well with checking out!

    Split pizza. #8. 16" Lamb, ricotta, red onions, bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes & #7. 8" Salami, sausage, pepperoni, Canadian ham

    They used to be called Velo City Pizza, but we came in and they told us they're changing their name into PJ's so here we are! The owners are really kind and hospitable. They love their business and they surely love the customers. They explained to us their best sellers and how they made their own ricotta recipe for the lamb pizza. It's a small restaurant nearby our house, so they don't have a lot of seats available but it's cozy and comfortable place to visit. They sell a bunch of gelato on sticks and I would say that tastes a little old.. but their pizza are very tasty and we'll be back again for them!

    Our family loves having pizza here at this family business. So, when we got together with extended family, we took a kit of dough, sauce, and cheese all made by PJ's! (Super easy to just call the day before) We had a lot of fun making our own pizzas. The quality of ingredients helped with our lack of experience :)

    Amazing thin crust gourmet pizza. Beer and wine. 3 delicious meat toppings homemade and also gluten free crust and vegan cheese are options.

    Best pizza ever, also the allowed my pug dog into the establishment. Like who can beat that

    Close-up combo, 16"
    Royce R.

    Wow! Thank you, Phil! Excellent slow-cooked overnight oven-roasted tomato sauce, so rich and mild, no tangy burn like everyone else's sauce. Excellent homemade chicken fennel sausage, too! Fast service, great price - beer & 16" half-n-half for $50. I'll be back - check out the cozy loft dining, nice & warm on a cold winter night.

    Bbq Chicken

    I ordered a large pizza around lunchtime. The owner said the pizza would be ready in 20 mins. When I arrived there were no customers in the store. Unfortunately he had totally forgot to pass the order to the employees to make the pizza. I had to wait another 15 minutes for the pizza to be made as staff made it painfully slow. The shop itself has a nice ambiance with seating upstairs also. The pizza was very average and had very little red sauce. I usually will eat a good amount when eating pizza. However, I only ate two smaller slices and the taste didn't really satisfy my pizza craving. I would say taste was a solid 2.75. The large pizza was $38 before tax (pretty pricey) and the touch screen was extremely sensitive and I accidentally selected the incorrect tip amount.

    Pretty decent thin crust pizza. The sauce and cheese could both be better, but the thin crust is pretty light and airy.

    Yes

    With the 16" pizza, how many slices is that? And how many adults does the salad feed?

    Our 16" is thin crust cut into 8 slices and feeds about three adults on average, up to four adults if not that hungry.

    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.

We've also ordered their large pizzas to go in the past, and those have been just as satisfying. We used one of their stamp cards for a free drink, and the guy at the counter kindly let me choose between a fountain drink or a bottled one (I went with the bottle--just tastes better!). My nephew has a special connection to this place--his kindergarten class once came here to make their own pizzas, and he still talks about it. It's really great to see that kind of community involvement. He absolutely loves the pizza here, and it's easy to see why. We also found ourselves curious about the surfboard--would love to know the story behind it!

They help me answer and decide what pizza to order and make sure to feel we are comfortable. As for the pizza itself, it is the perfect amount of crispy and cheesy. Not too over powering of any flavor and I always go with the original flavors (cheese and pepperoni). The ambiance of Pizza My Heart feels very nostalgic and at home. I like the accents of surfboards and pictures because it feels very california and at home. Overall the experience of Pizza My Heart never misses and I highly recommend!

    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.

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!
