Great thin crust and atmosphere

by saira1123

This is a little place my friend introduced me to. I really think this is a great pizza place, the prices are reasonable and the ingreidents are fresh. The service is touch and go. The staff seems more preoccupied with their social lives than their customers. I really like the feel of it though. There are vines hanging from the ceiling and it's got a local vibe!

• Pros: Pizza
• Cons: Service

Horrible customer service, Awful food, and overall dissatified.

by FriendlyTourist

We decided to look up some Italian places to while visiting San Francisco. We came across Gaspare's through this website and decided to check it out. So we get there around 7ish in the evening and get seated. We ordered a Spinach and Garlic Pizza, Cheese Pizza for the kids, and a salad for my husband and myself to share. We received our salad right away (around 7:20ish) and honestly it was mediocre at best. Here is where the problems came into play. After waiting 30 minutes for the pizza's the waitress finally came over and placed the pizza tray to hold the pizzas on the table. She told us the pizzas would be up in a little while. Well time passed my kids were getting extremely impatient and there was no pizza. A couple that was sat down maybe a few minutes before us had had their salad and pizza and left by this time. By this time I was getting extremely irritated and I was watching the kitchen the whole time waiting for our food to come. I saw many many people leave with take out (probably about 10 orders) and still no food for us. My guess is they decided to do all the take out orders before they did our order or became overwhelmed. Needless to say just as I looked at my clock it was around 8:40 our pizza arrived finally. The pizza to be honest was somewhat cold, and tasted very bland. It was almost as if they put very little sauce on it at all. After we were finished we had another horrible experience because we had to wait nearly 25 minutes to get out check. I asked two people, one person that was filling water (she came around maybe every 30 minutes), and then the bus boy for our check because there was no waitress in site. She never even came once to see if we needed anything. Finally I had to walk up to another waitress and ask for our check. Then it took another 5-10 minutes to get our waitress to give us our check..by this time I just wanted to put some cash on the table and go. Altogether I would not recommend this place to eat ever.

• Pros: Parking is not bad
• Cons: Bad service, bad food.

The Best Pizza in Town (but the entres are mediocre)

by adams_eating

I was skeptical about ordering pizza because I had been to Gaspare's once before, and my entre was mediocre. I thought I would not return, but my buddy was in town and we wanted some pizza. I read some reviews that were mixed. We ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza with anchovies. The crust is a crispy thin perfection. Plenty of toppings with olive oil dizzled lightly on top. It's one of the best pizzas I've had. I may not go back for an entre, but when I want pizza I am only sorry that I didn't discover this place sooner. It rocks. Be prepared to wait, because Gaspare's has quite a loyal following . . . and now I know why.

• Pros: The pizza is as good as Pizzetta 211
• Cons: Busy, Entres are only OK

Pizza you want more of...

by scorpus70

Been going for years and food has always been good, pizza incredible! Especially the Margerita! If you like lots of meat get the bruce's special. Only once the pizza wasn't the same and it was because Gaspare or Daniel ( Gaspare's son) didn't make it that night. They're a good family, which makes their restaurant a great place to go. (plus they stay open till midnight)

• Pros: great pizza, atmosphere, great prices
• Cons: sometimes parking is hard

Best Cheap Pizza and Italian!

by pointeshoes

Friendly and good pizza. Also, Linguini with white sauce was very good! I rather come here instead of Pizzetta211. Many selection and inexpensive. Good for family dining. Good crowd, but not waiting too long; there are plenty booth seating. Good Old Italian Restaurant. Very comfortable to spend the time here.

• Pros: Everything except parking
• Cons: parking can be hard

Worst pizza ever

by gala1971

That was the worst pizza I have ever tried. A galon of oil, generous layer of tomato paste, a pound of old garlic, and another pound of salt. Everything including service and sleezy waiters was BAD!

Not the best anything

by charmingkati

Last night we went for dinner here. It was a friend's birthday and we knew that the pizza here is good. However... it was salty. Like we drank all our water in three seconds after trying the first bite. And then our water glasses sat empty for the entire rest of the meal!!!

The service was the WORST I have had in a long time. Rude, never helpful, and I only saw our waiter twice in the entire time we were there!

I would just order takeout if you are willing to chance the salt factor (sometimes the pizza is amazing, sometimes it is really awful).

I feel GUD when I arrive, am there, and after...

by sfdavey

This place rocks.

Great pizza. Great entrees. Great dessert.

Ambiance CANNOT be beat.

The jukebox is perfect.

When I have out of town guests, I IMMEDIATELY take them here. I took my future in-laws here. I brought my parents here. I bring EVERYONE here. Instant feel good place for locals and visitors alike.

As I said before, the food is great. The ambiance is great. If someone that enjoys eating in any way, shape, or form comes here with me there for a relaxed evening, things just immediately fall into place.

MY WIFE and I had our first date there.

The place is a sure thing.

I will regret writing this review, no doubt.

• Pros: Everything BUT parking
• Cons: Relax, park in the public lot behind Wells Fargo

Decent Italian food, great ambiance

by icee429

We ordered the 12" seafood pizza, pesto pasta, and the house salad. The pizza was average, a little too much clam taste, but the crust was good. The pesto pasta lacked a little flavor, needed salt. The house salad was good though. The best thing about this place is the ambiance, its like a 50's theme and the service is great. However the value wasn't quite there.

• Pros: Ambiance, Salad
• Cons: Value

Generous servings of wine! Me likey!

by ob1korobi

I don't know what the guy was talking about who mentioned bringing back Vince's. The guy was old and was getting out of the business. Times change, get over it. Gaspare's has a good environment for the family groups and a great place for taking a date. Everyone there is friendly and remembers you from your previous visits which is welcoming. Also, I can't complain on the more than generous servings of wine. Ask for it in a water glass and ye shall recieve!

• Pros: Resonable prices, great lasagna
• Cons: Find one and I will buy you dinner
