This is truly the best pizza around. Serving new haven style pizza, but also everything else on the menu is delicious. Huge call out to the crispy cauliflower, it’s amazing! Everyone is so nice and it’s always bustling (in a good way). Expect a wait on weekend nights, but definitely worth it. Wine list is ok, but you can bring a bottle of your own if you care. Specialty sodas are a delicious throwback!

EXCELLENT New Haven style pizza worth visiting if you are a pizza fan. This restaurant is absolutely WORTHY of a Barstool sports pizza review. I was so impressed with the quality of the food, the decor, the service, and the feel of this restaurant.
I’ve been searching for the perfect pizza in the Bay Area for some time, but this might possibly be it. The crust is delicious and thin, the toppings were real and abundant, and it just tasted like heaven from beginning to end. Other than pizza; they also have pasta and other sides for non-pizza lovers. My favorite pizza was the basic cheese but the pepperoni was to die for!
The area is nice, clean, safe. Parking is easy to come by. There’s plenty to do. Just a great spot overall. They serve beer and wine as well!

Restaurant is small and busy. Parking is limited street parking. Might be the one of the best pizzas I have ever had in my life. Wood fire oven, fresh ingredients, nice thin crunch crust. I also got the cavatelli which was really good but in comparison to the pizza it fails in comparison.

Pazzo makes a really good pie in the New Haven apizza style. If you’re a transplant from the CT shoreline like me, it will get you through between trips back home. I recommend eating in as they do not hold up well sitting in a box. Occasionally, the crust is a little too thin, but after eating about 50 of these, I can say this is pretty rare.
I’ve had every pizza on the menu, and they are all good. The plain tomato pie is really tasty and so is anything with classic toppings like pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, etc. I love a white clam pie, and while it’s pretty good here, sadly, it’s no substitute for the real thing.
Atmosphere is nice. I prefer to sit at the counter by the oven and watch the magic happen. Staff is always friendly.
My only complaint is that they only serve one size, and it’s small, which detracts from the overall pizza experience. Each slice is like a miniature sample, 3-4 bites, NEXT!

We were near here and give this place a try. Place is pretty nice any roomy. Foods are very good. Parking is not too bad.

Fantastic family friendly spot with amazing food. The shrimp and grits app was delicious and the grits were like a polenta cake and had great flavor. The pizza was thin with a little char and good crust. Cesar salad had a really good dressing and was very fresh. The Chicken Parmesan had great flavor, nice lightly breaded chicken with spaghetti. Can’t wait to go back and try some more.

Restaurant was small and loud. Very crowded and hectic. Decor was clean and simple.
Overall, the food was tasty and creative. We ordered shrimp and grits, crispy cauliflower, and 3 pizzas.
I loved the shrimp and grits. Super crispy polenta with a flavorful creamy Chipotle sauce. Crispy cauliflower was very well prepared with a light batter that was unbelievably crispy, like fresh McDonald chicken nuggets (in the best way). Not the biggest fan of the vinegarette sauce, but enjoyed it nonetheless. The pizzas were good, but not addictive. The flavors were generally light, but the salt for the white pies was heavy (I drank 3 cups of water). The crust was thin, light, flaky, crispy, with a nice medium chew. The issue was that the pizza was served with a nice helping of charcoal underneath. And for this reason I can’t recommend this place.

Pazzo Pizza is a decent restaurant that serves up tasty pizza in a casual setting. The menu offers a wide range of pizza options to suit every taste bud, from classic Margherita to more adventurous toppings like fig and prosciutto or spicy salami. The pizzas are cooked to perfection with a thin and crispy crust and fresh ingredients.
The service at Pazzo Pizza was efficient and friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations based on our preferences. They were also attentive to our needs, ensuring that our drinks were refilled promptly and that our food arrived hot and fresh.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed and laid-back, with a modern and minimalist decor. The seating arrangements were comfortable, and the noise level was just right, allowing for easy conversation without being too loud.
While we enjoyed the food and the service, we did find the prices at Pazzo Pizza to be slightly higher than average for a pizza restaurant. However, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it worth the extra cost.
In summary, Pazzo Pizza is a decent restaurant that serves up delicious pizza in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. While the prices may be slightly higher than other pizza restaurants, the quality of the food and the excellent service make it a worthwhile dining experience.

We went way out of our way to get out to San Bruno but I heard its worth the drive out of SF if you want delicious Italian food. Unexpectedly, the pizza was the best part of the meal. Word has it that the gnocchi is what they do best but I cannot stop raving about how great the pizza was. When they have a wood burning oven in the, get the pizza.
Side note, the ceasar wasn’t all that great the meatballs were awesome. Excellent starter dish.

I finally got a chance to try this restaurant, only a few blocks away from my place. I am sad that they no longer serve the molten chocolate cake (they had it pre-pandemic). Still the food here is amazing. Seeing the oven for pizza with the chefs busy popping the pizza in and out non-stop already told us something. My friend ordered fried cauliflower, which I was not excited about. However, it tastes amazing with a touch of sweet and sourness. I believe from dried berries and some vinaigrette. Pasta with white sauce, shrimp, and beans are tasty. The crispy pizza is brilliant, not too greasy even with added bacon and white sauce base. What I admire about this place is that they can deliver the dishes that I thought will be heavy in a delightfully light way. Pazzo is now an Italian place I can welcome people to San Carlos.
