• pro: balanced sauce to cheese ratio;
• cons: lackluster crust, missing toppings (and a questionable explanation by the manager for such), deceptive marketing, undisclosed fees
Dined in Sunday evening of Sep 7 2025. Fairly empty dining room, was greeted by cashier quickly, and were allowed to seat ourselves. Waitress was prompt and attentive. Ordered off the Brazilian pizza section the 12 inch linguiça acebolada, which was supposed to include kielbasa, onions, oregano, and Kalamata olives (see picture of menu). Pizza came in a reasonable time, but without olives. Waitress came to check part way through (we started eating already, we were hungry) after tending to other customers, and I pointed out the omission of olives to her, to which she said she would check with the kitchen. She came back saying that her manager said yes, they put 4 olives on the pizza, and that the small quantity was due to the fact that Brazilians didn’t like olives on pizza. I politely suggested that advertising olives in the description and only putting 4, was not appropriate. She offered to bring olives separately but I declined. In this review i included a picture of the pizza in question, perhaps someone reading this could point out the 4 olives to me, because i counted zero. The bill came and i paid with a credit card. The final check contained a credit card fee (~3.48% by my calculation, see redacted pic of receipt) that was not disclosed on the menu (front and back of the menu attached to this review for reference). I reported this fee to seefees.ca.
I wished they would have used linguiça (either Brazilian or Portuguese), but won’t count that against them since the description did say kielbasa. Otherwise this was an extremely disappointing experience. It’s one thing to make an honest mistake and omit a topping, but to compound that with a bizarre excuse about Brazilians disliking olives on pizza… that doesn’t sit well with me. Admittedly I’m not Brazilian so i can’t truly verify that claim, but people who dislike olives will naturally order instead some other pizza that doesn’t contain olives on the description. Lying about using 4 olives when none are visible is an even worse offense. If this was a pepperoni pizza that came with 0-4 slices of pepperoni, would anyone think that was acceptable? Would anyone believe offering to bring additional unbaked pepperoni on the side was a sincere effort to make things right?
I can’t say that i, or any other consumer, am a fan of hidden fees. Maybe others will read this review and it will help them make an informed choice how to spend their dining dollars now that they know. Hopefully seefees.ca will also update with this fee.
In summary, I believe you should treat others like you want others to treat yourself… and I’m sad to say, North Beach Pizza San Mateo falls extremely short of this standard.

Very cheesy pizza! I didn’t know pizza could be that cheesy.
We have ordered takeout here several times, but today we tried dine-in. The restaurant was cozy with typical restaurant decorations, the one that you would see in one of those super popular sitcom TV shows back then.
The staff was very friendly and considerate.
We ordered a Fisherman’s Special small pizza with Garlic bread. They were very tasty, but we personally prefer the Aloha Special pizza, their spin-off of the Hawaiian version, which is what we usually get.

I LOVE North Beach Pizza in San Mateo. The pizza is the best in the area. The people and the inside dining are great. I have been a customer for over 30 years.

I came here with my family last night and we got the worst service the gentleman who was “helping” us gave us the worst attitude and proceeded to role our eyes at us when we asked to order, we waited 20 mins for him to even acknowledge us. And when we asked for water he told us he doesn’t know if he can bring it bc the cups were all dirty. We can tell he did not want to serve us, we are never coming here again even though we were excited for the pizza.

Great lasagna but Why do you put Feta cheese or something similar to your Caesar salad??? all the flavors were a bit overwhelming but the lasagna was perfect and the portion was huge!!!

The attendant was very helpful, and the delivery service was fast. The pizza arrived hot, but I had ordered two flavors: Portuguese and Calabrese. The Calabrese was replaced with Portuguese sausage or something similar. I ask the owners to pay attention to what they are selling, because having seven locations is no use if you don’t maintain the quality standard, or at least ensure the correct ingredients are in each order.

I’ve had takeout from them several times in the last few years and it is always been decent. Not outstanding, but decent and a good value. The people there are always nice. Today our cheese pie had almost no tomato sauce. And the crust for both of our pizzas was bland, soft and tasteless, a lot like a frozen pizza.
