Marina Pizza and Pasta — Restaurant in San Francisco

When I was in the Army, stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco from 1983-1984 (42 years ago), I remember there being a pizza restaurant on the north side of Lombard Street near the intersection of Pierce. I never recall eating pizza inside this particular pizza restaurant, just ordering take out, and they delivered to our barracks. I think this was the most popular, possibly only pizza restaurant that delivered to The Presidio.

I just remember them delivering pizza to my barracks room late in the evening, usually around midnight. I always ordered the same sausage and mushroom pizza. The sauce was perfectly tangy, the dough both crispy and chewy, the sausage was perfectly spiced, possibly having fennel in it and the mushrooms were fresh, not canned. They never skimped on the toppings. This is the pizza that I measure all other pizzas against. It was an amazing pizza. I wish I could go back in time and eat it again to relive the experience.

Well, AI suggests there was a Marina Pizza at 2386 Lombard St. that moved 2139 Lombard St, at some point. Of course, I can’t remember the name of the pizza place from the 1980s but I’m thinking this is the same place.

Anyhow, next time I make it to San Francisco, I’ll have to drop by this location to see if it’s still as good, if in fact it’s the same restaurant.

So, my review might be a little untimely, take it with a grain of salt. But if this is the same restaurant from 42 years ago, it was the greatest pizza of my 61 years, anywhere on Earth!!

If anyone can confirm whether these two places are the same, I’d...

First off Moe is an awesome guy and really friendly. Its always nice to recieve service from someone who is clearly doing a good job and staying positive. We need more people like him! I had the meat lasagna and it was very good. I am amazed at the price and the quality especially compared to other italian restaurants in the area which are sometimes double the price and definitely not as good. Marina Pizza and Pasta is not skimping on ingredients as I feel the ratio of the ingredients are just right and the ingredients are fresh. I find that some places dont use enough sauce, spices, meat, or cheese but thats not a problem here. I plan on going here again tonight and I am so glad I found it. Flavorful, mouth-watering, and satisfying. Thanks for running a solid...

This pizza restaurant is an absolute standout. From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The pizza is simply exceptional—crispy, thin crust with just the right amount of char, topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the cheese perfectly melted. Whether you go for a classic Margherita or one of their more creative specialty pies, every bite is a delicious experience. The service is friendly and efficient, and the staff is knowledgeable about the menu. With generous portions and great prices, this place offers fantastic value. Whether you’re a pizza connoisseur or just craving a great slice, this restaurant delivers every time. Highly...
