Interior
Pete A.

Every time I meet with my client, we come here for lunch. Yes it's a pizza restaurant but it's much more than that. It's a family owned Greek restaurant. Plenty of seating both inside and out. Very friendly service with very reasonable pricing. The pizzas are loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection with delicious ingredients.

Stellar experience when we visited for an early dinner with our toddler and baby on our way home on a Saturday evening. Service was excellent, the staff was super friendly (albeit slightly disorganised). They found a nice spot for us to park our stroller and gave us a high chair. Our son loved the giant olives on the Greek style pizza we ordered. The portions are huge and hearty - we had a mini pizza which fed my 2 year old and I and we had half a pizza to take home! We also ate a mountain of salad and some very tasty lemon/egg drop soup. The interior is quirky - lots of unique and colourful wall art. It's a little cramped in the entryway with a lot of delivery boxes and not much space - but once you get inside, it's spacious enough. It's a shame we don't live closer, else I could see a lot more pizza at Rainbow PIzza in our future!

You do not want to miss out on going to Rainbow Pizza in San Mateo! Friendly employees, especially the owner, delicious flavorful food, with generous portions, and a comfortable, Greek decorated restaurant! Perfect for family dining - their dishes are more than enough to share. One of my must-order choices is The Vegetarian Pizza #8. The cheese and olives are the best around, not to mention the crust! Also, don't miss out on their famous Greek Salad - I could make a meal of that alone. I would highly recommend Rainbow Pizza! We will be back very soon!

Horiataki Salad
Brian H.

Omg - what shall we say . Traditional Greek food. Greek language and the staff are great. The menu is vast and very authentic. I lived in Greece for a while and I'll say . WIN. I had the mousakka and the Horiataki Salad. No olives - too much sodium. The family run business is quaint and warm. I took so many pictures. I love eggplant and will be back. I'll bring my dad who is a huge fan of Greek life. Please stop by- you will be happy you did. The pizza is some of the best I ever had. I got the meat lovers pizza -

Greek Isle Half Salad

I used to live close by to here in the 90's. I moved away in 2000 and this was the first time I've been back since then. This place is just as I remember. Fresh ingredients, great service and great food.

Greek American pizza, mushroom spaghetti and Greek salad
Sammi L.

We get Rainbow Pizza almost every year for my dad's birthday - the Greek American is one of his all-time favorites. While I don't personally love the plethora of toppings, he does, and that's what's important! My mom and I usually split the mushroom spaghetti (very comforting), Greek salad and garlic bread. They definitely excel in comfort food. We used to dine in frequently when we lived on the peninsula but have since gotten takeout. It was a great spot to bring groups for family dinners. Staff have always incredibly friendly and warm. Parking can be a bit tough in the complex since you're competing with Safeway, Starbucks and other restaurants, so either wait for a spot or park in the lot along the side. My dad's birthday is coming up, so we'll be stopping by again soon.

Fried salmon and veggies. Omg it was delicious and healthy.

Best pizza in the world. Omg I love this place. It's was our first time visiting and I was satisfied with the Tate service and presentation. The food is amazing and flavorful. The service is wonderful and sufficient. The place is clean and there are a lot of table to sit at. The waitress was so nice and polite. She made everything go so smoothly.

Garlic bread
Tom T.

Our search for a carby meal brought us to this place. The first thing that sets this place apart is its gigantic menu that's overwhelming to both hold and choose. In hindsight, we should take that as a hint of things to come as the theme for tonight's dinner is "BIG". All of their pasta dishes come with a side of garlic bread. We went with the Linguini Vangole in white sauce. The portion was massive! The pasta was covered in a generous amount of clams, both with and without shells. I also loved how garlicky it was. My breath definitely stunk through the following day. The garlic bread was very toasty and buttery. We also ordered the Greek-American pizza. This thick crust pizza was a meat lover's heaven as it was filled to the brim with salami, pepperoni, Italian sausage and thick bacon. Our 10" small size was enough to feed 2 people for 2 meals. I would give Rainbow Pizza 5 stars if purely based on the food itself. However, we waited over half an hour for the pizza and nearly an hour for the pasta. I understand that we came during peak dinner time but a restaurant should have this figured out after being in the business for decades. For that, I hate to do this but, I had to dock one star. I think waiting 1 hour for a dish was a bit too excessive. As I wrote at the top of this review, everything about this place was big: big menu, big portions, big wait time. Despite of that, we will definitely be coming back soon to try some of their other dishes in the Dinner and Greek sections. I look forward to giving them 5 stars soon!

Greek Americano pizza
Janet J.

We've been coming to this place for several years now especially when we're around town. We came here today for a later lunch and of course we were very satisfied. Portions were big and the food is always delicious. We ordered the three meatball side, Greek American pizza, and a Greek salad. All were very good and had lots to take home.

Rainbow Pizza is a pretty unassuming place from the outside, but once you're inside, you realize this place is something special. The staff is warm and friendly, the food is delicious, the size of everything is massive, and the whole experience just feels like you're being welcomed in to a Greek/Italian family. It is a bit overwhelming with the size of the menu (both amount of items, and physical size of the menu). They literally have something for everyone, though. Highly recommend a pizza or a pasta dish. That said, it seems like everything you get here will be prepared with love. Definitely stop by here for some food if you're in the area.

Beef  straggonoff,  delicious to the last bite

Delicious food, great service. Huge selection but who cares. Everything taste so good, i can try each item just because! They DON'T deliver, or use delivery apps. They pass those fees to their food quality!

No... unfortunately not... Sorry.. Steve

Why doesn't anyone deliver food from Rainbow Pizza? Can't find them on Doordash, Uber Eats or Grubhub?

As someone who doesn't like pizza, I actually enjoyed pausa. The pizzas aren't your standard greasy…read morecardboard pies, but actually have good texture and tastes fresh. We ordered the primavera ($34) to split and it came topped with mozzarella, pesto, ricotta, english peas, fava beans, and spring onions. They also offer chili flakes or this amazing chili oil if you want a splash of heat. It seemed like most tables ordered the margherita, so will have to come by to give it a try.

Our dining experience was not necessarily negative, but it did not live up to the expectations that…read morePausa should have. All in all there were a couple main issues: reservations and special requests that were made for group dining several weeks before hand and confirmed were not honored and , several dishes were "just alright," and the kitchen had "lost" several tickets so items were not delivered and had to be reordered. As we sampled multiple of the Entrees, the only star of the evening was the Mezzi Rigatoni which did make the rounds of the table for everyone to try. This was juxtaposed to other dishes that should have been standout, such as the duck breast or pappardelle to be lackluster in comparison. Dessert was the same, with only the Bombolini a winner. The Tiramisu and Panna Cotta came in at the 5/10 and neither lived up to their name and would be better enjoyed if you were not predisposed to expecting a specific dessert. The Chocolate Trifle was a complete miss. I can see what the aim was but the foam did not work. With that all being said, the seating was aesthetic and the cocktails and wine that were offered were quite good- kudos to the bartender

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!
