Pirro's Pizzeria — Restaurant in San Francisco

Let’s start off with the good: delicious thin crust pizza! We ordered a large pepperoni takeout and asked for it well done. There was a decent amount of pepperoni which made it’s a bit greasy, but we don’t mind :) The pizza was also topped a bit with Italian seasonings which enhanced the flavor.

Now onto the bad: The ambiance inside was a bit off though. The place was completely empty, but likely due to the day we visited. There was a very odd smell inside, which I could not identify. Seems like there should be better ventilation and perhaps a deep cleaning. There was random boxes and stuff scattered around and not very welcoming. They have beer on tap and lots of hard liquor. Also, the cost of the large was a bit high, compared to other local pizzerias.

Would return if there was a deal, or...

At first, I was a bit skeptical and sadly, the clam chowder tasted burnt which was part of the lasagna dinner plate. They immediately replaced it with minestrone and that alone was great. They served a modest salad. The lasagna had beautiful mild tastes with great kicks of basil throughout. Then, coffee and dessert! All for about $15 with tax! My friend ordered a special pizza with ham, sausage and pepperoni which tasted amazing! We ordered a side of buffalo wings which were great as well. We only finished a third of the lasagna, the wings, the soup, salad, and 2 slices of pizza and barely ate half the ice cream. All for $25! I honestly was gonna blast this place because of the burnt clam chowder but after the great immediate service and incredible food, I had to give mad props...

This was my favorite pizza place in SF 25 years ago. CLEARLY new management and it's so sad! the pizza was awful, the place was FILTHY! what made it worse is they charged us $35 for our pizza which is PREMIUM price for a pizza!!!! my wife almost made us walk out--she SHOULD HAVE because it just got worse the longer we were there. the bathrooms were gross, door wouldn't lock, owner/manager was doing the business books on the tables, etc. etc. We SHOULD have figured it out when we arrived at 6pm on a friday and there were NO other customers--none came in our entire time there. SOOOOO sad as this used to be the best. PLEASE just close down as you have destroyed the once proud name of this 70 year old...
