Stayed at the SFO travel lodge. Had the medium veggie and a Mediterranean salad delivered. They said it would be 45 minutes, only took 35 minutes. Pizza was great , hot and delivery driver was professional. Price was great compared to any other delivery company. Will definitely order again. Vegetarian options: Had veggie pizza and salads.
I was visiting the SF area for the weekend and felt like eating Italian that night. I Googled places near the hotel where I was staying and found three within a couple of blocks of each other. I looked into the first two and their prices were very high ($27-$30 per pasta entree-just pasta and marinara) so I decided to go cheap and try this place. Additionally, they had my favorite dish on the menu, pasta Arrabiatta. Hard to mess that up. I did notice that the description was rather odd- ham and peas in the dish. I've eaten this all over the world, including Italy, and never heard of those things in it, so I requested that they be left out. So, I ordered that and bruscetta. Hard to mess that up, too. Placed my order online and was given a 10-20 min window when it would be done. I waited 20 mins before heading out to drive the 10 mins to the restaurant. I found parking on the street outside and went in. The place is very plain and the decor ourdated. The Man working was ummm, slightly odd. Didn't really greet me, but looked at me strangely, like he was surprised to see me. The entire place was empty, so he had to be expecting someone to come for the online order, right? So, I spoke up first and said, "HI, I think I'm in the right place." I was doubting myself by this point. He asked for my name and said that my order would be ready soon. Huh? It's already been over 30 mins by now. So, I took a seat and waited for him to take multiple phone orders and then go back to cook apparently. It's a small place, with a window looking into the kitchen and I didn't see or hear anyone else. At one point, a woman hurried in and took a seat at a table and proceeded to eat a Lunchable ♀️. Another 10 mins or so go by and still no food, but a man rushed in and rushed to the back and asked my name and bagged up my food and was very nice. Got back to the hotel and found my pasta with mushrooms. Why? That wasn't even on the list of ingredients. I'm not opposed to mushrooms, but this was an entirely different dish than pasta arrabiatta. The pasta eas overcooked and it was served in a rectangular container. It looked and tasted like the airplane food they serve on long flights. Very bland and unremarkable. The bruscetta wasn't much better. Dry bread, large chunks of tomatoes, dry, no flavor or spices. I truly hate to write a bad review of a small, seemingly family owned restaurant, but honestly, I hope they read this and can learn from it and do better. There's certainly potential there, but customer service needs to be improved and food needs to be more flavorful and less of a stray from original dishes- or at least what's described on the menu.
