Bellissimo Pizza — Restaurant in San Francisco

Pizzas made of styrofoam, pizzas that defy the laws of gravity, pizzas that touch the hands of the Gods, deep-fried pizzas, pizzas with a history of violence, pizzas that mugged your grandma, pizzas that fearlessly stare into the eye of the big white whale, pizzas that show you the way to Valhalla...

All the pizzas I had in the city by the bay have been matters of extremes. Makes sense in a town like this: extreme fog, extreme hills, extreme rents, extreme social disparity, extreme progressivism, extreme coolness, and so on.

It feels relaxing then, for once, to find a pizza place that, despite the extremely ambitious name (bellissimo means "excessively beautiful"), is just OK. This slice doesn't blow minds but it doesn't want to either. It feels instead like one of those good solid reliable friend you know you can trust: they are not the funniest of friends, not the hottest nor the smartest, but they are there when you need them, even if it's late at night (Bellissimo Pizza closes at 2am). They probably have never been central protagonists of your craziest stories, the ones you tell to brag with the people you hit on. But they've never backstabbed you and never will. They are the ones you know you'd want as best men/maids of honor at the weddings with the people you used to hit on. Because they are the perfect friends. And, in a certain way, this is the...

Easily the worst Pizza establishment out of 52 I have been to in San Francisco since May 2022 alone. The people who own and operate this place wouldn't even argue that at all. And I bet they also wouldn't care. Go ahead and waste your time and money here instead of 7-11 which is the same level as this place. 7-11 might even be better. Costco or Dominos is for better than this. Maybe the only pizza that this is better than is pizza already in a garbage can that originally came from this place. This is pizza for people who do not love or care about pizza. This is pizza made by people who do not love or care about pizza. If that is what you are and what you like, this is for you. For people who actually like, let alone love, pizza - just don't even worry about this place at all due to the fact it is a shameful mockery to...

I just ordered chicken Caesar salad and chicken garlic pizza. Yuck, the chicken is so terrible. It has the meat smell that is not cooked well. Like when meat comes out frozen and still has that iced water and you just put it in the pan and heat it. If are one of those who is particular about the meat smell pls don’t order from here. Even their salad, the chicken wasn’t grilled properly. Please use oil or little bit of seasoning or a better quality chicken that has no smell. It’s like the foster farm chicken breast that has smell when you eat the next day. Not a good experience with this restaurant. The cook should be knowing better how to prep the chicken so it should give...
