Pizzeria Avellino - San Francisco

Update: This place used to be our go to but this year they raised the prices to abhorrent levels. The pizza we used to get for $29 is now $40. $40 for a medium pizza is just too much. Pizza is so good, and the people that work here are nice.

Decent food just a hole in the wall pizza place nothing special

A really nice pizza place, best price and best pizza ever.

Great pizza shop rated 4 1/2 stars. Near the Presidio Palace of the Fine Arts. Great local pizza shop. Nice neighborhood to walk around. Walked to from Palace of the Fine Arts.

First of all I want to clarify that I have never eaten at this place before. The review will simply be about my experience here. I do not live in SF. A few weeks ago, I was visiting a relative there and while taking the bus, I got off at the wrong stop and got lost. I was very scared because I’m just a girl alone in a relatively empty street and my phone just happened to die not too long after. I tried everything, taking the next bus, walking a few minutes to try to find the street I was supposed to meet my relative at but it was 7pm and too cold so I just stood there at the bus stop defeated. Just praying and praying that I could find a way to solve this issue of mine which is when I noticed a man who kept looking at me with a concerned expression on his face from the store across the street from me. I tested my luck and crossed the road. The same man immediately walks out of the store with a warm smile on his face and asks me if I wanted a free slice of pizza. I was overjoyed, and so happy that this man had kind intentions and somehow noticed me struggling. Though I had to refuse his offer because I was fasting at the time, I made sure he knew I was thankful. Then he offered I go inside his pizza place because it’s warmer than outside. He told me I could make a phone call when I asked and he was overall very kind. He kept asking if I was sure about the pizza. He was even cleaning the place but made sure I was comfortable. I know I didn’t have any of his food but it sure smelled great. I am not in sf anymore but if and when I do go back, I’m going to this place firsthand and supporting this business. Owner, if you’re reading this, I’ll never forget your kind gesture.
