Great selection of pizza and friendly customer service- thank you. The salsiccia pizza was excellent and the pistachio mortalla was average. Beet salad was also very good. First time here but will definitely come back. read more

Came with boyfriend and shared a pie and the meatballs. Both were quite tasty! The meatballs were super tender and generous in size but I will say the texture was a little too soft for my liking. I think I would have liked it a little more toothsome. Having said that, the accompanying tomato sauce was really tasty! As for the pie, we went with the diavola which is essentially a margherita with nduja sausage which gives it a little bit of smoke and heat. The ndjua caught my eye because it's not a very common ingredient and it was quite tasty. They could have been more generous with the basil though. Idk why most places make basil an afterthought. If I had anything to criticize, there were a few burnt spots that weren't as appetizing to chew on but it was few and far in between. All in all, would come back! read more

Well lit, modern pizzeria with a selection of red and white pies to choose from. We ordered the salsiccia and turtufo pizzas, which were both pretty tasty in flavor. Personally for me, I like my crust a bit thicker, so this was a bit too thin for me. As a result, the sauce from the pizza made the bottom part of the dough kind of soggy. Had to eat it with a knife and fork and it was a bit messy. So texture wise, this pizza was not up to my standards. Taste wise, I would say these are some decent pizzas. You've got a good amount of toppings and get that nice, wood fire touch to each bite. Service is friendly and the overall atmosphere is pretty nice. Better for dining in with a fork and knife and not to pick up/eat to go! read more

The pizza was for pick up, about $40 for two. The margherita pizza was awesome! Really fluffy crust, light bread, and tasty cheese! However the toppings did not stay on the bread for the pepperoni, kind of just sliding off as I picked up each slice. If the toppings stuck, for sure this is a five star. The restaurant looked very cool at a glance when I picked up. read more

When I started this review the first time I went here it was actually 3 stars. It seemed like the person doing the pizzas was new, which is understandable, as you have to be new at some time. One person was showing him how to make the pizzas as well as cook but he was busy making pizzas and couldn't watch the baker the whole time. A lot of pizzas were coming out burned as my friend and I sat at the counter and watched. Instead of redoing pizzas, they would simply scrape off most of the burnt crust and still serve it. This doesn't get rid of the burnt flavor. Pizza was just ok...it's also possible we went only a little after they first opened their doors. I just went again today because I knew the wife liked special pizzas and wanted to try the place so I was willing to risk it so she could try it herself. This time it was not all the same staff so the pizzas came out perfect, considering the heat from those style ovens. We were greeted immediately when we arrived and there was plenty of seating since they only opened 30 minutes earlier, within about 40 minutes the place was completely full. The first slice I grabbed some of the toppings, including cheese slid off, no biggie, I've had thin crust pizzas that have done that...just use a fork and eat those little bits. That's why I added the extra sprinkle cheese to bind everything together and after that...nothing fell off again . Pizza was cooked perfectly! Such good flavor combo. The wife's romana pizza, $16, with cheese +$2, was salty but told her what do you expect if you have olives, anchovies, and capers on your pizza. She said it was still delicious though. My capricciosa Pizza, $18, was super yummy. Will be going back to try other pizzas sometime soon. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. Thanks for being close to the house . read more

Centro Pizza does not have a wood-burning oven! It looks like a woodburning conventional pizza oven, but it is a gas oven. All that said, the pizza is quite good. They do a very nice Neapolitan pizza and they have very friendly service. Prices are reasonable. read more

Came here with my sis and niece for a dinner before my niece headed out to Florida for a year or so. . Came on a Friday night and snagged the last table around 6:45. It didn't seem to be a big deal though cuz I never saw anyone waiting around for a table. Had to say, I thought it was a little pricey but I really did enjoy the pizza. She had the magherita pizza and I had the tartufo pizza. I loovvveee truffle flavor! Honestly my niece and sister don't love truffle like I do so they pretty much ate the magherita pizza and even though they offered me some, I didn't want to take it away from them! I did get to take the single piece home but my son ate it! I think it's safe to say they enjoyed it since it was mostly all gone! The tartufo did not disappoint. When the pizza arrived you could smell the hint of truffle. Yum! My niece made a face and didn't like the aroma! Oh well, more for me! I'm not a sausage fan (I'm a pepperoni kind of gal) but the sausage as smooth and went well with the truffle flavor. The cheese was a great balance too. I am a cheesy kind of gal, but I will admit sometimes too much cheese can kill the other flavors (I just love the goo and stretch of the cheese) but Centro has a good balance of cheese with some stretch but not overpowering. Would I come again? Yes! To fulfill a craving. Pro tip: Was scrolling through my credit card offers and noticed I could have gotten 5% cash back or 3x the points. So check your card to see if the there are any offers! Enjoy! read more

Craving for Neapolitan pizza, service was pretty fast, people are all smiles when you enter. We did 4 pizza trial - so far, i like my Formaggi and tried Nduja Diavola which is okay for me too. The Tartufo were showered with meat and you can feel the truffles too. Pesto was okay. read more

Centro has a good variety of pizza. I love the chewy, charred bubbly crust. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, the dough is quite thin and not sturdy enough to withstand all the cheese and toppings. Therefore you may end up with a soupy mess. Forks and knives are necessary! Service was standard, not the friendliest but not curt. Food arrived relatively quickly, despite a busy night. read more

Fast and very friendly service. Walked in 15 minutes before close (yeah I was that guy had a busy day). Served me a fresh pie with a smile. Insane how they make such a good pie in 5 minutes. Recommend this place as the quality and service are great! read more

They only have traditional Italian flavors without common popular toppings, but it's still yummy pizza on very thin crust. It's made in the traditional way on a wood fire oven here. When I entered, I thought we're supposed to order at the counter and my first impression looks like it's a casual place. However when we said we wanted to dine in, she wanted us to order at the table instead. We shared one pizza between 2 people. When we asked for the bill, she handed it to the man I'm with which I'm unsure how I feel because he's not my boyfriend but someone I saw casually. I think it might have been better if she put the bill on the table and let us decide instead. read more

Best pizza I've had in California. I ordered a Margharita pizza with olives and mushrooms. Both the toppings can only be described as "artisan." There was a variety of olives, a variety of mushrooms, both marinated artfully so they were juicy (but not soggy) and tender and oh, so flavorful. Just wonderful. I had intended to take half home, but there was no hope of that. Down the hatch! Washed by an excellent IPA on draft. Highly, highly recommended. There's parking front and half a block to the back. Lots of seating for eating-in. Clean and friendly. And the pizza: oh my. read more

It's such a treat to have access to authentic, wood oven-fired Roman-style thin crust pizza! The crust strikes a good balance--light, crisp, and just the right amount of char from the oven, giving every bite nice flavor. I can taste the quality and care that goes into the preparation. If you're looking for genuine Roman-style pizza without having to travel, this place delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates classic, well-executed pizza! read more

We order for pickup on a Friday night. When I arrived I have observed the indoor was packed with customers. The indoor sitting looked pretty nice. The staff were nice and the food was ready on time. I always appreciate smiling folks. We have ordered three pizzas. The Margherita and Capricciosa were not good to be honest. There was not enough cheese and too much bread, I guess it is Italian style which some people like. We asked them to not add ham to Capricciosa , but they did it anyways. The Tartufo pizza was pretty delicious. It has a touch of truffle and it is just right amount. I may order again, but probably only Tartufo read more

Good Naples style pizza made in the wood fired oven. The dough is chewy and the ingredients are good quality. I ordered pizza and a pear salad to go. Salad was delicious! Staff here are tops the service couldn't be better. This style pizza is best served right out of the oven so I suggest dining in. DO NOT use Grubhub for orders here. Go through the website to their system. I used Grubhub and they didn't even have the order. The staff fixed everything so I appreciated that. read more

We hosted my baby shower here and had the BEST experience! From the very beginning, working with Cameron was such a breeze--he was so easy to work with, flexible, and accommodating to all of our needs. The food and drinks were delicious (everyone kept talking about how good the pizza was!), and the prices were very fair for the quality and service we received. We were even able to decorate the space to make it feel personal and special, which made the day even more memorable. I can't recommend this place enough--for both the amazing food and the wonderful people who run it! read more

My boyfriend and I recently moved into the area and had people visiting. We decided to pick up a pizza as it can be the easiest...and OMG Centro Pizza did not disappoint.

Super convenient and the prices are decent! read more

Centro Pizza - Sapore and pesto pizza - Pizza Near Me - Burlingame, California

3.5 stars, mostly split opinion between me and everyone else around me This is a pretty local place, also owned by the folks who own the Italian place in town (I think). I've dined in soon after they opened, and gotten take out throughout the pandemic and beyond. The folks who run the place are always very nice, with exceptional service (even as the decor is a little barebones). The pizzas are decent but I found the toppings just ok -- it just feels a bit cookie cutter? It's not that I'm looking for weird ingredients, it's just that I wouldn't be able to distinguish a margherita pie from here. Nothing that makes me go like "I have to have the pizza here". The salads are similar, a bit bland for me as well. That said, the mister and my friends who live nearby all think I'm wrong, so YMMV. Maybe there are good days, and average days. read more

Honestly some of the best traditional Neapolitan pizza I have had in the area. The pizza here is so good. The inside is also very inviting and service is pretty good. You can basically only go here for dinner time since their hours are 4pm-9pm and they close on Mondays. They have a nice selection of options for pizzas plus salad options. Most recently I ordered the Pizza Sapore ($23) and the Insalata Pera ($15). The Insalata Pera I ordered with blue cheese on the side because I don't like blue cheese, but it was still a good salad to have before you get your pizza. It was a little light on the dressing, but I still liked the addition of the pears also. I just can't properly rate it because I didn't eat it the way it was intended to be eaten. The Pizza Sapore was soooo good. The crust had a really nice crisp and I really like their dough. I'm not the biggest crust fan, but their pizzas had me devouring their crust. It comes with mozzarella on the surface of the dough then arugala, prosciutto, olive oil, and the biggest standout which is the burrata in the center of the pizza. It was packed with flavor and the best part is that it's not greasy and you don't feel heavy or gross after eating multiple slices. Would definitely recommend this. I would definitely continue coming back to Centro Pizza because they seem to have a good thing going now after being open for over a few years at this point. I was pretty satisfied with the quality of their pizzas without a doubt. read more

Ate here last night with my boyfriend. I call this restaurant a high end pizza place. It's not like a round table or domino's pizza place at all. We got the cappriciosa ($22) and a chocolate tartufo ($8). We were sat at the bar and the oven where the pizza was put into was to the right of us. They gave us water, glass plates, and silver utensils for our pizza. I would recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Excellent service from the welcoming staff. I really liked the simple rustic ambiance as well. I had the Insalata Pera made with mixed greens, pear, walnut, bleu cheese, and honey walnut vinaigrette. The dressing was great and vegetables tasted very fresh. For the pizza, I had the Regina Margherita made with tomato sauce, Bufala mozzarella, basil, and cherry tomato confit. The crust was awesome but I found it to have just a bit too much sauce for my taste. It still tasted really good though. read more

The food was extraordinary, with a hint of basil and a delicious mix of sweet tomato sauce and thick mozzarella. Overall 10/10

Really good pizza. Great crust and really tasty toppings. I don't love the TVs, but I stopped noticing them when I tasted the pizza.

We've experienced consistent, delicious pizza during each of our recent visits to Centro. The dough is thin, light and chewy. The amount of topping is just right for the thin crusted pie. We split the Tartufo twice and the Salcisiccia the third time and both varieties were great. With a salad on the side, the Centro pizzas make a satisfying dinner for two. read more

I love the Margarita Pizza! It is always fresh and great for the next day as well ..................

We have been eating/ordering from here a couple of times per month since the restaurant opened. Normally the food is great. Tonight though, there was an issue with the salad. They were super apologetic and responsive, offered us a refund or a replacement for next time. Great customer service! read more

Pizza, it does a body good. Well, as much as a burger, a burrito, or a bowl of ramen. I mean, just look at me! It's totally working! I was nearby, so when looking for a pizza place is Burlingame that I have yet to try, Centro with it's 4.5+ rating on Yelp, it got my attention. Another outing with the gf and the pooch, too. Cute place, perfect size, open kitchen -- I liked. The menu, good! Service was a mixture of rude/unattentive (by one), and super nice and caring by another (to save the day). We ordered a Tartufo [$22, 4.5 stars] and Salsiccia [$19, 4.0 stars]. The Tartufo with the cream of mushroom with black truffle, sausage, smoked Mozzarella had a delicious flavor...love the sausage. While the Salsiccia with tomato, mozzarella, sausage, onion, bell pepper, olives stood well on its own, but with the same ground sausage, it proved to be too similar to be fully enjoyed. But my beef is with the crust, as many others have written. Way too soft and too thin. It has a great texture on the crust, but the underlay is just not for me. Maybe neither is Napolitano style pizza as this is common. read more

Great spot for neapolitan pizza. We came on a weekend for dinner, and Centro was about 50% full. We brought our own wine, and the corkage fee is $15. We ordered the blue cheese salad, which was tasty, and one of their neapolitan pizzas, which was good. My only complaint is that their pizzas are a bit expensive for what you get (1 pizza, 1 salad, and 1 corkage fee for $70+), but quality was good. read more

I thought their pizza was okay but it was rather small and I felt there was way too much crust. I like a thin New York style crust with a decent amount of cheese and an average amount of sauce.
