    We tried this place for the first time and ordered the Meat Lover pizza, which features beef pepperoni, beef ham, and Turkish pastrami. While we loved the sound of the toppings, the execution fell a bit short. The pizza was on the greasier side, which seeped through the dough and left the bottom quite soggy. Aside from being rather salty, the overall flavor was lacking. On the bright side, the service was fantastic--the staff was incredibly friendly and even treated us to complimentary Turkish tea. Great hospitality, but the pizza itself could use some improvement.

    Had the lahmacun and plain cheese pizza. Lahmacun was 5/5 and for $8-9 it is definitely worth getting if you try this place. The cheese pizza wasn't doing it for me. Lacking a good crust and flavor in the sauce. but I'll be trying another type when I have a chance.

    I ordered a medium half-and-half pizza for $28.99, and it was absolutely delicious. The olives on the veggie side were incredibly flavorful and fresh. The staff here are super welcoming and provided excellent service throughout our visit. The restaurant was pleasantly quiet during lunch hours, making it a perfect time to beat the crowd. Coming at this off-peak hour also made it much easier to find a parking spot nearby. Ending the meal with their heavenly dessert paired with a cup of hot tea was a truly divine, classic culinary treat. Coming at this off-peak afternoon hour is a total lifesaver for finding an stress free parking spot right away!

    Excellent service here and made us feel at home. Server suggested the popular pizza of ottoman and bergamo. Waited about 10-15 minutes for a medium pizza. While we were waiting, the server offered us Turkish tea. Came out very hot for the cool night. Pizza was freshly baked and had a very crispy and thin crust. Flavorful pizza. The bergamo was my favorite. The balsamic glaze gave it a nice sweetness to contrast the savory Turkish pastrami. The Stracclatella topped it off with a cheesy gooey texture. Offered us baklava for being first time customers. Perfect treat to end with as it was not too sweet. It had strong nuttiness and layered crisps. This spots opens late and has lots of regulars come in during the hour we stayed. Love the relationship the store maintains. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking in front of store.

    Where to find NY-Style Pizza with Turkish Twist in the Bay Area! .. and the best part: it's open late! @mateopizza__ is open until 2am everyday for those late night cravings. They also use halal meats and really put love and joy into the food they make. Here for the pizza, but don't skip the desserts! Service is super friendly and it's a small space but can definitely do a grab and go

    Lamacun

    Amazing Turkish pizzas! The lamacun was just so light and crispy! We also got a Turkish flatbread with pepperoni which was also delicious! I'd highly recommend this place. The people working there are also super nice!

    Finally found the best lahmacun in the area at this cute, cozy spot in Redwood City. It's prepared and served the authentic way: with lemon, parsley, and thinly sliced onions (not piled with lettuce or random salad ingredients). The dough was perfectly crispy, and the topping-to-crust ratio was just right. Their pide and ayran were also absolutely delicious. Friendly service, great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

    Came to Mateo Pizza and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It looks like they mostly do to-go, but if you choose to eat in like us, there are a few tables set up so you can. We ordered 2 large pizzas all half and half such that we could maximize trying flavors. I personally liked the truffle mushroom pizza and the Turkish pastrami pizza best! Moreover, the pizza was tender and the cheese pull was strong! The owner was super kind too. As we wound down our meal, he also offered us Turkish tea which helped to cut the greasiness and also gave us a small plate of Turkish delights which allowed us a sweet bite to wrap up our meal. Now that's what I call service! Needless to say, my friends and I have now been recommending Mateo Pizza to our other friends too. I also want to come back to try the more traditional pide!

    only been here twice but plan on coming by more often, place has a nice intimate vibe. staff offered their turkish tea and treated us like family which felt very heartwarming. also a perfect place to go to if you are craving pizza late night.

    Turkish Flat bread
    Nehir Ezgi K.

    We Turks are very fond of Turkish flat bread (lahmacun). I've tried it at many places, but this is the first time I've had one in America that tastes this authentic. The dough was incredibly thin and crispy, and the filling was full of flavor. I can honestly say it was outstanding. At the same time, the service and hospitality were truly top-notch. I definitely recommend it.

What we ordered: Prosciutto Di Parma Arugula Pizza (+ burrata) = 100000/10 FOOD: 9/10 Served hot, fresh, and made to order, this pizza truly hit the spot. The crust had those delicious wood-fired charred bits and was the perfect thickness, not too thin, not too thick. The burrata (worth the extra charge!) was rich and creamy, while the arugula added the perfect fresh, crunchy bite. Every ingredient worked so well together. I'm literally salivating as I type this! Paired with some good wine? Chef's kiss! SERVICE: 9/10 Every staff member we interacted with struck the perfect balance of being friendly and laid-back. We sat at the bar, where the bartender also served as our waiter. He was personable, kept up a great conversation, and was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, all while mixing drinks and taking care of other guests. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Spacious, clean, and incredibly inviting. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and all the train station-inspired decor throughout the restaurant. The large windows let in so much natural light that it's an even better place to sit back and enjoy a meal. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

I was excited to learn they partner with The Butcher's Son for vegan mozzarella and meats. I've been a big fan of The Butcher's Son food for a while, and I love their mozzarella sticks, even though I usually don't like vegan cheese. I went with a medium 1/2 and 1/2 pizza: Vegan Meatzza and Vegan Buffalo Chicken. I also tried the Vegan Cannoli. The pizza was hot and ready when I arrived, and they sealed it with a 100% vegan sticker, which I thought was a nice touch. I really enjoyed both flavors! It's tough to pick a favorite between the two, but the pepperoni on the meatzza was delicious, and the buffalo and ranch combo on the buffalo chicken was tasty. Surprisingly, my favorite was the cannoli. Even though I usually prefer savory over sweet, the cannoli was amazing. I loved every bite, though I think adding chocolate chips to the filling would have made it even better. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 experience! I can't wait to try other vegan pizza combos.

There are very few tables inside and 1 table outside, so it's a good idea to grab and go if you're not in a hurry to eat. Plenty of options from pizzas to calzones to sandwiches, burgers, desserts and milkshakes. There's definitely something for everyone. The pizza was made fresh, it was delicious and came out fairly quick. The onion rings and waffle fries definitely hit the spot while we waited for our pizza to come out. Although it was empty when we came on Father's Day and we had a chance to dine in, we would definitely order to go next time around.

On the plus side the crust is not oily and/or chewing gum-chewy like really bad crusts are. We tried the "well-done" option the last time, and I felt it was too overcooked for my taste. I would go back to the regular option. The Veggie pizza is decent. I thought the Sweet Gino was essentially a margherita, but it was not. I thought by "sweet tomato sauce", they meant naturally sweet from ripe tomatoes, but they meant it has sugar in it, and it tasted overly sweet.
