very nice relaxing vibe with friendly customer service :) Mateo Pizza is a nice cozy relaxed vibe with great welcoming customer service. The ambiance of this place is perfect for a gathering with friends and family, very clean and the decorations add a warm welcoming feel to the place. My company and I gone into Mateo Pizza because we heard this place has really great Hala pizza and were recommended to try "The Ottoman" by far the best tasting pizza with a mild spice to it not too spicy but just enough kick of Turkish version of pepperoni to give it just the right kick and the crust was perfect mmmm all I can say is you really have to try this, highly recommendable and I am sure the rest is just as yummy I haven't tried everything as of yet but I will be a returning customer to tryout the other pizzas you bet! I was not disappointed at all, Mateo pizza also has a great desert as well I tried which is their Tiramisu and it was like heaven in my moth the perfect way to end the meal I will defiantly be getting more of this as well my diet is going to hate me but its too good to pass up. My experience all together had been a very positive experience with warm and welcoming employees as my company and I were instantly greeted upon entering with great positive energy . My company and I were treated with professionalism in such away it felt like family. I would say you have to try this place or you will be missing out Mateo pizza will not leave you disappointed and you bet I will be recommending this place to my my friends and family as I also like to support local businesses. your local Bay Area food critic

Read moreCraving a pizza that’s made fresh from scratch? Never pre-prepared, always baked to perfection—Mateo Pizza at 851 San Mateo Drive, San Mateo, CA, is your new go-to. Just a couple blocks east of El Camino Real, this gem offers convenient off-street parking, plus a few discreet “apartment guest” spots right across the street at the 888 Apartments (perfect for a quick bite—no hassle, no ticket, no worries). At Mateo Pizza, every pie is handcrafted. There’s no conveyor belt here—just real people making real food, using fresh ingredients, right out of the oven. The aroma alone will pull you in, but it’s that first hot, cheesy bite that’ll bring you back for more. The service is as warm as the pizza. The staff—especially the welcoming gentleman at the counter—go out of their way to make you feel at home. Attentive, friendly, and fast, they check in with a smile and deliver everything with genuine care. You’re not just a customer—you’re a guest. Open seven days a week until 1:30 AM, Mateo Pizza isn’t just convenient—it’s exceptional. For flavor, freshness, and late-night satisfaction, this is where the dream slice lives. VERY FRIENDLY...
Read moreI LOVE THIS PLACE! Delicious food, one of the best pizzas I've had in recent memory. A group of friends and I left a downtown Burlingame bar around 1am, and saw this place was still open. I'm pretty sure it's new as I had never seen it before while researching places to eat late at night. Burlingame is dead after 10pm with no food in sight, so i was grateful to find Mateo Pizza. We ordered a "meat lovers" pizza over the phone and walked to this place. It was ready in 15 mins and boy when I tell you it was good, it was GOOOOD; and not just because we were all tipsy. We smashed that pizza so fast lol, I didnt even have time to take a photo. And when we were there in the bldg we asked for a water and they tried giving us bottled waters for free; so generous, but we couldn't accept it for free so we tipped them. Food 5/5 Location 5/5 Service 5/5. SUPPORT THIS PLACE, it deserves all the hype.
BTW, meat lovers isn't on the menu but they whipped something up with a variety of...
