    Ribs - a very good deal
    Michael Y.

    You cannot go wrong with Safeway! Their deli food by the pound is very impressive. It's open late impressed many people at social functions when we brought a whole pound of the salad. It was unbranded when we served it, and the salad got compliments. They asked us where it was from, and we said, oh, Safeway! They were thoroughly impressed. It was good. Their $5 Friday deals are also very good! Ribs were in stock this time! There was plenty. We get lots of veggies from them too - fresh and priced well. I like this location because it is a lot cleaner and not as busy.

    When we used to live next door at the Avalon apartments in Pacifica, naturally, this Safeway location was our go-to grocery store because of the convenience of proximity. When we moved to San Bruno, I opted to go to the Millbrae locale on El Camino...until I finally got fed up with their lousy customer service and constant errors with prices. I have now returned as a regular customer to this Pacifica Safeway. Located in the Fairmont Shopping Center on Hickey Boulevard, finding a parking spot is no issue in the lot. When our dogs have drop-off appointments at Banfield, I find it convenient, again, that I can hop over to Safeway and grocery shop during the vet examinations. This Safeway location is not as big as the Millbrae supermarket on El Camino. Obviously, this means that the variety of inventory is not as extensive, but not at all insufficient - they have plenty of plant based items and ethnic foods. What is noteworthy about this specific store is that it has the small town market feel with a very friendly staff (quite the opposite of the rudeness you can encounter at Linda Mar). Additionally, it's very rare to find a price discrepancy on your receipt (unlike at Millbrae where it is commonplace). This is probably THE BEST Safeway in the area.

    Far from fresh

    Never coming back here. No chicken, no fresh bread and passing the meat counter grossed me out. Poke was fresh as it can be - if that was fresh you can imagine what else is fresh.

    This Safeway could benefit from some self checkout stands. At its busiest, 4 total check out stands are open and the lines are long.

Sun valley fine foods is the best of both worlds. There's a lot of secret bargains, but if you live in Pacifica and want fresh fruit or fresh cut meats or freshly barbecued tri-tip or just a homemade cooked chicken to impress the people from the city then this is where you should go. Please don't buy out the Mexican half liter sodas cuz I live on those. No I'm not compensated for any of this, but I secretly suspect they make a fresh pot of coffee for me when I walk in in the morning. They really don't need to do that, but it means a lot.

    The Pacifica Safeway is a place I go out of convenience, not because I actually want to shop here…read more The lower prices, discounts, and big parking lot are really the only reasons I keep ending up back at this location. Inside, the store feels outdated and in serious need of a refresh. There are no self-checkout lanes, and instead everyone waits in a single line to be called to the next available register. It's an unorthodox system that technically works, but it's pretty frustrating when you only have a couple items. The understaffing is noticeable. I once had to check in at the customer service desk to retrieve a lost wallet (luckily a cashier had found it and held onto it). Even then, I waited about 20 minutes before anyone came by to help. When they finally did, they were kind and returned everything to me immediately- but the delay really highlighted how short-handed this store is on a regular basis. The cashiers themselves are consistently kind and doing their best, but it's clear they're stretched thin. The whole store feels like it's running behind what a modern grocery store should be. This Safeway could really benefit from a major facelift and, at minimum, a few self-checkout stations. Until then, it's mainly a place I stop because it's convenient- not because it's a good shopping experience.
