Mustafio's Pizza — Restaurant in San Francisco

Based on the reviews, I wanted to like this place, but my experience was less than ideal. Maybe it was the time that I came, but I won't be coming back.

I walked in and ordered a sandwich and a small salad to go. The guy at the counter said it would be 20 minutes, which was fine, as food made to order is a lot better than stuff that's been under a heat lamp. The time it took to actually get it was enough to walk a block and a half, buy a drink from a convenience store, come back, and still wait another 10+ minutes. That in and of itself wouldn't have been much of an issue, ordinarily. But...

While I was waiting, I noticed that the guy making my and others' orders touched, by my count, at least 5 different surfaces (food, earbuds that were in his ears, oven handles, plastic bags, knife handle) with no gloves and without ever washing his hands. But I was ravenous and in no mood to argue with anyone. I hope I don't get salmonella, E. coli, or hepatitis.

As for my order itself, the salad was good. The sandwich, on the other hand, was overcooked-to-burnt. Maybe 2/3 of it was edible; the last third was hard and tasted charred.

If nothing else, it was a reminder that it's cheaper and safer to cook than it is to go out. Before tip, it was $16.36 for 2/3 of an overcooked sandwich and a small salad with a packet of no-fat dressing (no choice,...

The owner will blatantly pick out the worst piece of pizza he has in the window for people he THINKS are paying with EBT. When I first started going there, I’d get decent slices until the first time I paid with EBT. Since then I’ve been getting the burnt corner pieces of the OLD pizza in the window when the people before me get fresh slices. I continued going, usually multiple times a week, just giving him the benefit of the doubt, but it has continued to be the case every time I go in there. I just said something about it to him, and left with a heat lamp burnt middle piece of the old pie instead of the burnt corner piece he initially grabbed like he always does. Mind you, there are 2 more of the same pizzas in the window that both have slices sold from them. Happens every time and it’s my last time going in there. He just lost a...

A prime location for some easy drunchie food, Mustafio's sign outside glowed and enticed me to go inside for a slice of pizza. After such a fun night, I didn't really care much for gourmet (plus, there's no gourmet at 12am anyway..) so I readily stepped inside the simple-looking pizza shop. Despite its appearances, Mustafio's menu is extensive... a variety of pizzas and desserts and other Italian dishes are available for ordering. However at the time we went, there weren't a whole lot of selection left for slices. Priced at around $4-$5, I thought that was pricey for the size of the pizza, and the pizza wasn't really that toasty either... However, I'd be willing to give Mustafio's another shot if I am in the area again, maybe get a calzone next time, or hopefully they'll have a better selection for us drunk zombies looking for a...
