Monza Pizzeria 1934 Ocean Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94127

"First time getting pizza here. We got take out, so I don't accually know what the dine-in experience is like. I dont even know what the inside is like, since the husband picked up, but as far as the pizza, for what it is, five stars. And what it is is top notch, comfort food "childhood" pizza - the kind from a pizzeria that was kind of dark inside with wood paneled walls and a few light-up beer signs. Most likely they were for Hamm's and/or Olympia. There were two and four tops along the walls, but the middle of the dining room was for big tables to accommodate the end-of-season pizza parties for little-leaguers and soccer teams. There were also a couple of arcade games and a pinball machine. Some teenager with a muscle shirt was always playing. Pizza was served on those aluminum trays and pitchers of fountain root beer was drunk out of those tall red plastic cups with the pebbley texture on the outside. With the pizza from Monza, the cheese is gooey, the crust is both crunchy and chewy and perfectly cooked with those little crunchy sauce-and-cheese bits at the edge of the crust. It's what you remember from the halcyon days of your youth, but leveled up. Because back then, in the nameless pizza joint from back in the day, the crust was maybe a little like cardboard and the cheese somewhat plastic, but you were happy with all your friends, and full of sugar from the root beer, goofing off and punching each other in the arm. And so the pizza, however mediocre, was like a little slice of heaven for your ten year old self. The pizza from Monza makes you reminisce fondly about those times, but in the here and now you're actually eating good pizza. So we'll be ordering again. This made our gray rainy day."

"Our family has been eating and enjoying the food at Monza Pizzeria for quite some time. As a neighborhood restaurant that stays open later in the evening, we have been happy with our orders as pickup or delivery customers. The chicken parm, pesto tortellini with chicken & white sauce, Caesar salad, and antipasto salad with extra feta cheese are all favorites! It's also very kool that Monza will accommodate your desire to add your own variations to their set menu. I like extra anchovies with the Caesar salad, and they give you a good amount, enough for seconds & even thirds!! Their single pizza slices are pretty large, with lots of toppings to choose from. The garlic bread is good, & we wish more came with meals. They also give plenty of croutons, olives & cheese with the salads! Very important details for us!!! And their delivery service is pretty quick with politeness!! Contact or non-contact delivery."

"2 GINORMOUS DELICIOUS SLICES and a glass bottle of Coca Cola for $13-14 (tip included !). It's a no-brainer ! The place is clean and nice people work there. This will be one of my "Goto" places in SF !"

"Came in here for lunch not knowing what to expect and it was absolutely incredible! The owner Marcello was super kind and they make their slices fresh for each customer. Portion size was huge and the flavor and ingredients were top notch. Can’t recommend this place enough."

"Old fashioned lighting makes for a cool atmosphere. The food proportions are FANTASTIC! I only got 2 slices of cheese and it was the same size as most 1/2 Pizzas!!!"
