    Combo meal
    Jillian P.

    We have been such longtime fans of Pink Onion. Their Wednesday deal (though it's gone up in price over the years) is sooo worth the money. We're always able to snag a table/bar seats for 2 on Wednesday evenings. Be warned, the place is loud and packed but service is good, and we don't usually have to wait too long for our food. Our go-to selections for the Combo Meal are: Parma E Burrata plate (sweet, salty, fresh), Pasta Tartufo (truffle pasta that is to die for), Pink Alarm Fire (classic), tiramisu, and white wine. I always leave Pink Onion very satisfied and eager to return!

    Steamed Mussels
    Jared D.

    I think the Wednesday dinner deal is a great bang for your buck. Comes with app/salad, pasta, pizza, desert, and bottle of wine. This is a lot for $60. The service has good timing for each and the inside is a cute little space with a bit of a grungy feel that I dig. Got the seasonal salad, steamed mussels, vodka sauce pasta, Brock purdy, tiramisu, and a bottle of white for 3 people. My favorite item was the pasta, little on the creamier side for my taste though, (I like a tomatoooos a lot). The Brock purdy was a great square pizza. I would definitely come back to get another $60 dinner deal.

    Burrata caprese
    John P.

    Walked in at 4pm on a Friday right when they opened! No reservation, no problem. They seated us immediately, which was a great start. If you don't have a reservation, I recommend getting there early because the restaurant is small and has limited seating. The menu is refreshingly straightforward, and the $60 combo is absolutely the move: appetizer or salad, pasta, pizza, and dessert. We both ordered it without realizing we didn't have to but honestly, no regrets. We left with leftovers and full hearts. For the price, the portions are genuinely shocking in the best way. Service was friendly and fast throughout. No long waits, no awkward gaps, just a really smooth, enjoyable meal from start to finish. Here's everything we tried: Pink Onion Salad: Don't let the simplicity of "salad" fool you. This thing was massive and packed with great ingredients: romaine, goat cheese, toasted pecans, currants, fresh berries, and a blood orange vinaigrette that hit the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. A great way to start. Rigatoni Vodka: The undeniable star of the table. Nearly everyone around us had it, and one look at the photos online and I knew I had to order it -- no regrets. Super creamy with a subtle kick of spice that sneaks up on you in the best way. The portion was enormous. Get this! Rigatoni Amatriciana: Perfectly salted thanks to the guanciale, with a satisfying texture and pasta cooked to perfection. A more classic, comforting option that delivered on every level. Gotham Pizza: My personal favorite of the two pizzas. It's essentially a elevated pepperoni pizza, and the hot honey drizzle takes it somewhere unexpected and delicious. Simple but memorable. Magic Mushroom Pizza: Loaded with prosciutto and incredibly flavorful. This one was clearly popular -- we kept seeing it come out of the kitchen for tables around us, and for good reason. Tiramisu & Basque Cheesecake: Both desserts are generous enough to share between two people. The basque cheesecake was great, but the tiramisu was the standout! Perfectly sweet and less bitter than most, which is a hard balance to get right. Overall, an incredible value and a really enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, though the Rigatoni Vodka might just be a permanent order every time.

    Came here for dinner on monday and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience. The place was severely understaffed, which led to very slow service and a server who kept forgetting our basic requests - we had to ask for bread five times before it ever showed up and ended up asking someone else for it to arrive at our table. We were seated outside only to find that the patio heaters were out of gas, leaving us freezing the entire meal with no warning. As for the food, it was just okay. The mussels were soo fishy and didn't taste fresh, and the crust on the pizza was way too thick for our liking. None of the dishes we chose was memorable, the truffle pasta was pretty solid but standard and nothing to write home about.

    Pear and Endive Salad
    Michelle M.

    Was in the mood for a good salad, pizza & pasta deal for a girls date night & TikTok brought me here! Heads up, reservations are a good idea we just so happened to slip in before the rush and got a table quickly. We ordered the $60 deal that comes with 1 appetizer or salad, 1 pasta, 1 pizza & 1 dessert & (on Wednesdays they add a bottle of wine to the deal). We went on a Tuesday so no wine, but the food was - absolutely phenomenal. The menu was overwhelming at how many delicious options they had. We went with the Pear Endive Salad that came with Endives, pears, gorgonzola cheese, candied pecans & balsamic dressing, Pasta Tartufo which had parmesan truffle cream & I requested to substitute with Rigatoni pasta, Gotham Pizza which had pepperoni, sausage, ricotta, & Mikes hot honey & the Tiramisu for desserts. 10/10 will definitely be coming back !

    First time at pink onion and it did not disappoint. All for the dished were great except the steamed mussels. While the flavor of the mussel broth was very unique we were thrown back by how many pieces of mussels that were not cleaned properly. A lot of them still had the beard attached making them hard to eat. We came on a Monday and they weren't crazy busy so we felt comfortable and not rushed with our meal. I didn't see my friend in a while so it was nice to catch up. Service was attentive and friendly.

    Sicilian Meatballs
    Brennan S.

    Pink Onion delivers on classic Italian flavor. Located in the lively Mission district in SF, Pink Onion offers a solid blend of Italian dishes in a comfortable, fast-casual setting. First, our service was great. Our waitress was really attentive and gave us a lot of information regarding the menu. A couple of my friends and I split the Combo Meal. Consisting of 1 pizza, 1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 dessert and 1 bottle of wine (only on Wednesday's! We went on Thursday). The food was absolutely delicious- and for the price: undeniabley worth it. First, the bread for the table was warm and fresh. The appetizer we chose were the Sicilian Meatballs. The meat was tender and the sauce was savory- with hints of rosemary. For pasta, we got the Pasta Al Tartufo. The creaminess of the parmesan cheese with the earthiness of the truffle shavings was delicious. For pizza, we opted for the Hotboy. Which is crushed tomato, fresh mozzarella. mikes hot honey and spicy sopresatta. It was fresh and the hot honey complimented the peppery sopresatta nicely. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu for dessert. It was light, fluffy and had a decadent coffee-vanilla flavor, also ... the portion size was massive! So worth it. Pink Onion is amazing and I can't wait to go back.

    Pasta Tartufo
    Gabriel W.

    Pink Onion Overall: 4.4/5 Pretty good spot to go to for pizza and pasta and the portions are great for the price. Shared the combo meal between 2 and it was plenty. Definitely will be waiting, it's a small place and was quite busy for a Monday night. I imagine the lines would get quite long on Wednesday for the free wine bottle with the combo. We got the mussels for the appetizer, pasta tartufo, soprasetta pizza and tiramisu for dessert. Mussels were very meaty with a nice white wine sauce. Pasta was good, creamy but very overpowered by truffle flavor. Pizza was excellent with a great crust and dough, and the soprasetta and fresh mozzarella were excellent. Tiramisu desert was about average. Not a super strong coffee or chocolate flavor either way. Food was overall good but service was a bit of a let down. Took a while to get our order in and we were not checked in on until near the end of our meal. Had to wait a while for water to be refilled. Granted, it was busy and they have to deal with online orders as well.

    This place is such a vibe!!!! Very small restaurant and intimate table settings - can get pretty loud and it was admittedly pretty hard to hear each other but over the noise. But I liked how it gave off a very neighborhood comfy cozy feel. Gabe is the best! So attentive and gave us great suggestions from the menu. We really enjoyed the parma and burrata app and the nayalita pizza was SO good. Truffle pasta was delicious but very rich. Really nice thickness and chewiness of the crust. The complementary bread was also surprisingly delicious! It had a great chew. Can't go wrong with either the tiramisu or cheesecake. Both were great, just depends on what you're feeling. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Def try to go on a Wednesday - everything goes so much better with a bottle of wine:)

    Pink Alarm Fire
    Madison B.

    Cute small restaurant, we came at 4:30 on a Saturday and we got seated right away before the dinner rush. I recommend coming a little earlier to beat the crowds and to not wait in line as it is a small restaurant with not too many seating. They gave complimentary bread and for drinks we tired the rose, italian white, and the mango cider. All three drinks were great! We got the pink fire alarm pizza which was good, it was like a pepperoni pizza elevated with red onions and it was good! We also shared the pasta tartufo, which we got influenced to get because the smell of the truffle from a nearby table smelled so good! Highly recommend getting that pasta as well!

    Pasta Tartufo
    Tiffany Y.

    For the combo price at Pink Onion, this place is so worth it to come to. At $60, you can get a small pizza, pasta, appetizer or salad, and a dessert. It might not seem like a lot of food, but I've come here twice and it can comfortably feed 3 people! Last time, we were so full that we even took the dessert to go. If you also come on Wednesday, you get a free bottle of wine with the combo. When you come in, they give you some complimentary bread to eat with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We tried the pear and endive salad, patataccia pizza, and tartufo pasta, which were all delicious. The tartufo pasta was our favorite and we were using the truffle sauce for our pizza too. I've had the tiramisu and basque cheesecake desserts, which were both great. I bumped this review up to 5 stars because the service was so great. I went with a friend with a food allergy and they really went out of their way to check that everything was safe and offered to sub anything that didn't work. Definitely recommend coming here, but also be mindful of the area because it's not in the safest neighborhood!

    Came for the food, stayed longer than I should have for the sweetest staff!! A friend and I were craving carbs and decided on Pink Onion on a Saturday night. We were seated at the bar and had the best service from Gabe!! He was super friendly and outgoing, and he made sure we were consistently taken care of. To share, we ordered the Cesar salad, vodka pasta, pesto pizza, and a tiramisu. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the pizza was super tasty. Street parking is a little crazy and the interior is quite cozy. Seating available outside as well. Def will be back for the food! And big shout out to Gabe :))

    pesto pasta
    Minh-Chau D.

    Pink Onion puts a refreshing spin on classic pasta dishes. I tried the pesto pasta and I really enjoyed the nutty taste from the pistachio - super unique to me. The mussel pasta looked like it would be creamy but it was a refreshing citrus sauce. The mussels were also fresh; nothing like the frozen mussels I usually find in my seafood pastas. Next time I'll come with an emptier stomach so I can get the combo deal.

    If you order take out on Wed, do they also give you a free bottle of wine?

    Yep, and delivery as well

    Curious what free bottle of wine is offered on Wednesdays?

    I think it's random. I think I got a Malbec last time.

    Is there gluten free pizza options?

    No

    What's the size difference between a small and a large?

    12 inch 6 slices small 14inch 8 slices large

    Is there a beer list anywhere?

    Google results show this list: Heineken 6.00… 

    Truffle bruschetta is one of the review highlights, but it doesn't look like it's on the menu on their website. Is it still available?

    From what I gather, it's a frequent special that they offer.

    Do they have something to offer to vegan people? :-)

    Of course they do ! Name it ! Eggplant ? Mushrooms? Tomatoes ? Garlic? Basil ? Olive Oil ?

I'm currently living in San Francisco for six weeks while caring for my father, who is recovering from a double lung transplant at UCSF. It's been an emotionally exhausting time, and I was excited to find a neighborhood bar within walking distance where I could occasionally relax and decompress. I first discovered this bar after a trip to Trader Joe's. During that visit, the bartenders, especially Chris, and the rest of the staff were welcoming, friendly, attentive, and wonderful. Based on that experience, I was looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, my interactions with the owner have been the complete opposite. On my second visit, the owner repeatedly ignored me while I was trying to order. When he noticed my service dog, who was leashed, quietly sitting beside me, and causing absolutely no disruption, he loudly yelled across a crowded bar, "Get your dog out of here." I calmly explained that he is a service dog. The owner immediately rolled his eyes and demanded to know what service my dog provides. Because I did not feel comfortable disclosing personal medical information to a room full of strangers, I asked if I could privately show documentation instead. He became increasingly hostile, telling me that he "knew his rights" and that I "didn't know anything," while continuing to demand an explanation. Feeling embarrassed and cornered, I reluctantly answered his question. He rolled his eyes again and asked, "What do you want?" When I ordered a Corona, he responded by pointing his finger in my face and saying, "You mean you want a Corona PLEASE." He refused to serve me unless I repeated the order exactly as he demanded. I was shocked, humiliated, and left the bar in tears. Several patrons nearby apologized to me and expressed how uncomfortable they were witnessing the interaction. A few days later, I decided to give the bar a second chance and brought my partner with me. My partner was seated with my service dog while I walked to the bar to order. The owner immediately recognized me and once again said, "Get your dog out." I calmly reminded him that we had already had this conversation and that I had previously explained my dog's service role. He responded by asking whether I was providing a service to the dog or whether the dog was providing a service to me. After I again explained the situation, he asked what I wanted to order. I ordered two dirty gin martinis, and before I could even finish speaking, he began walking away. When he returned with the check, I asked him to keep the tab open. He again corrected me and said I needed to say, "Keep it open PLEASE." At that point, I asked why he seemed to treat me this way every time I came in. His response was, "Piss off. Finish your martini and you're never allowed back here again. Get out." Once again, I left in tears. Once again, nearby patrons appeared shocked by the way I was being treated. I've worked in professional environments my entire career and strive to treat everyone with kindness, patience, and respect. I was never rude, disruptive, or confrontational. I simply wanted to enjoy a drink at a neighborhood bar while accompanied by my service dog. The bartenders and staff were wonderful. My experience with the owner, however, was one of the most humiliating and hostile customer service experiences I have ever had.

Unfortunately, our second visit for Mother's Day dinner was a let down. Right away, our male server informed us they were already out of prime rib, which was disappointing considering it's one of the main reasons people come here. He also didn't seem very welcoming from the start. We ended up ordering the NY pepper steak, lobster ravioli, and escargot. The escargot was fine, but the lobster ravioli was honestly a huge letdown. It came with only six small pieces for around $40 and tasted like something I could've bought frozen from Trader Joe's and topped with Alfredo sauce at home. Definitely not worth the price. The steak portion itself was decent, but there was confusion with the sides. We asked to substitute both sides for baked potatoes, but the server misunderstood. She later offered to bring another baked potato, but by then we didn't want to risk being charged extra. What frustrated us more was the lack of transparency. The menu states that all entrees come with a baked potato, but apparently pasta dishes don't qualify. When we mentioned how disappointed we were with the lobster ravioli portion, the response was basically offering us more complimentary bread or ordering an additional entree. The server even acknowledged that the ravioli portions are not entree size, which honestly made it worse. Overall, the experience completely turned us off. Between being out of prime rib, the poor value, confusing menu details, and underwhelming service, I don't think I'll be back. Also worth noting: they charge a credit card processing fee.
