Waterfront Pizza — Restaurant in Foster City

Beautiful as ever!

This is the perfect place for a first date or an anniversary date. The scenery is gorgeous when you're sitting outside. The birds come in for a visit, but they aren't too bothersome.

To start you should know that you order at the counter not at your table. When it's not too busy you're also able to seat yourself. If you haven't looked at the menu prior to your visit, I suggest finding your table and grabbed a menu to look at while you sit at your table. Then go to the counter and place your order. They give you a number to place on your table so they can find you to serve you your food.

Also it's not JUST pizza, there are many other delicious options. So take your time and look at everything.

I received polite and friendly service from the time I ordered at the register, to the awesome servers bringing our food.

The food is so fresh and delicious, and plated beautifully. This visit my family ordered the pizzas. We ordered a meaty pizza and a gormet vegetable pizza. Both chewy, delicious, and tasty.

The baba ganoush creamy and flavorful, pita bread like always amazing!

I usually get the Mediterranean chicken salad. The vegetables are so fresh and the dressing is so flavorful and delicious.

My son always gets the salmon, and he eats all of it quickly.

For our toddler we got the spaghetti. He loves it! We've also gotten the ravioli for him and he loves that too.

We also ordered the cheesy garlic bread. That was crispy edges with a softer middle. SO GOOD!

If you're taking food that you weren't able to finish, the restaurant has a whole section of containers and boxes for you to grab and bag your food. It's so nice, you don't have to wait to ask for doggie...

Fantastic view! We arrived late afternoon and all their patio seating were filled. Requested for an outdoor seat but it's estimated to take 30mins, so we decided to opt for the indoor seating. With such a beautiful view and the lovely weather, I can see why anyone would want to move from their seats. Moreover, It is one of the few restaurants that are opened throughout the day so not much of a choice for people living in the area.

Indoor seating was dark and gloomy, huge difference to the experience you get if seated at their patio.

Like it that they have a fairly large signboard that states clearly the list of items and their prices, at least we did not have to squint our eyes to look at the list.

You have to place your order and pay for them over the counter, so know what you want before joining the queue. It moves fast!

We ordered beef kebab which came with rice and potatoes, a curry chicken roll and a latte. Kebab and latte was alright, the smell of the beef was really quite strong but I guess that's how Mediterranean food taste. The chicken roll was pretty good.

Their portions are small compared to other diners, good for an individual. We were just looking for some afternoon fillers so that worked for us.

Service was rather slow, waited for almost 20mins plus for the first item to arrive. Don't go there with an empty stomach.

We did not try their pizza but the table next to ours had one and it smells amazing. Should we do swing by in future, will definitely go for a pizza.

A lovely place to gather with friends over a meal (if you get seated...

★☆☆☆☆ Waterfront Pizza: Overpriced, Overcrowded, Underwhelming

Food Quality (Just "Okay" at Best): The pizza is aggressively mediocre—soggy crust, bland sauce, and cheese that tastes like it’s been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Toppings are sparse and lack freshness. Forgettable at best, and definitely not worth the premium price.

Sky-High Prices for Subpar Fare: Wildly overpriced—you’ll pay gourmet prices for what tastes like freezer-section pizza. $28 for a basic large pepperoni? $5 for a limp side salad? Absolute robbery. Even drinks are marked up 200%. Value? Non-existent.

Chaotic, Unbearable Crowds: Expect shoulder-to-shoulder chaos every single night. No reservations? Prepare to wait 45+ minutes for a table, then endure a deafening, claustrophobic dining room. It’s less a meal, more a battle for personal space. Forget a quiet bite—this is stress served hot.

Abysmal Service: Staff are indifferent, inattentive, and visibly overwhelmed. Drinks forgotten, orders messed up, empty plates piling up for 20+ minutes. Zero check-ins, zero apologies. You’ll feel invisible while paying a small fortune for the privilege of being ignored.

"Waterfront" Gimmick: Yes, there are waterfront views—but you’ll be craning your neck around crowds or stuck at a table facing the restrooms. The noise and rush kill any ambiance.

Final Verdict: An overhyped tourist trap. Pay top dollar for average pizza, elbow your way through crowds, and endure apathetic service. Skip it unless you enjoy...
