Paisanos Pacifica — Restaurant in Pacifica

Been to Pisanos literally dozens of times. It's like going to Thanksgiving at my Italian Grandma's house ... too much food, but so good you just can't stop eating. Vinnie & his crew (whas happ'n, E?) are naturally warm & inviting; no faking it there. Yeah, the place is too small - everyone is kinda crammed in & at busy times, the wait can be long. (And while jamming little band in there is a nice idea, theres really no space & it comes off too loud.) But it's a place people can't help but linger. If he could build it bigger, they would come! All the pasta meals are perfection. Steak, meatballs, eggplant - great. Wine selection is "smart" - definitely showcasing good taste in a do-able price range. Don't get me started on the pizzas!! Get whatever you want, but if you don't get the Margherita, you're missing out. This place is the kind of small business/great restaurant P-town needs more of. If you haven't tried it yet, do! A glass of pinot noir, a little bruschetta & excellent ceasar, some fettucini con pollo & mushrooms (try it in their signature aurora sauce) and plop somewhere. As welcoming to a family of 8 as they are to a single sitting at the small bar. Becoming so popular AND doing delivery = longer delivery times on occasion. No biggie. The Boss is there a lot & does LOADS to train young people to keep it running like a real business. Just try it - a few times (delivery, eat-in, rush & non-rush, different meals) - see for yourself!! (Just re-read this ... NO, I get nothing for my review. Just love this place. Gonna get my "fix"...

For many think I am such a hopaholic. The same can be said for Paisanos. Pacifica benefited from the large heart of the business who referenced the lives coming before Paisanos. And those same shoulders they stood that built this restaurant's location and gave back to the community. Losing Paisanos was a shock. Enduring the loss is a sadness. Yet I still hope for a future with Paisanos returning to be a part of social life in Pacifica. And so that I may enjoy another delicious slice of Paisanos Pizza during a Bluff top sunset.

And my past review ... Tonight's Paisano's Pepperoni Slices to go were perfect. Fresh. Just barely crisped. And awesome flavored as always. If you want pizza slices for your summer sunset walk to the beach in Pacifica then Paisano's is a great to-go!

Paisano's also addressed my previous issue with attention and a professional, yet emotionally warm nature. Paisano's cares about their food and community relations. It shows!

Give Paisano's a try. I will be back in the...

Some years ago when first opened it was very good. I cannot say the same now. First time requesting delivery, I believe they lost my order, it took well over an 11/2 hours to receive. Now I pick up my orders ,both times there were problems. Needed to wait a bit to long for a pick up order. Went for the 3rd time and this topped it. One block from home and they called and said that they gave me the wrong order. Put the wrong name of the food containers. I went back to get correct order. They apologized for the problem, gave me 3 small pieces of bread for the mistake. I told them I understood, no problem but to be honest I won't be going back. The prices have gone up and I get this is happening everywhere, but not the best food for the price. Sixty dollars for 2 meals, pasta and chicken, and 2 small soups, didn't like this soup much,...
