Always a great pie. It's our go to spot for work pizzas. Not cheapest in area but best by leaps and bounds. Great guys and excellent service! read more

Sometimes, I just want a solid, classic pizza that hits the spot...no fancy gourmet toppings, just sausage, mushrooms, and ooey-gooey cheese with the perfect balance of tomato sauce and a fluffy, thick crust... Pizza Express does exactly that! Can't believe my partner has been holding out on me this entire time. Apparently, this spot has been here for years and has been his and his family's go-to pizza spot, and I'm only trying it now lol. FOOD: 9/10 SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 8/10 FOOD: 9/10 The pizza here is flavorful and satisfying, with generous loads of toppings and a fluffy, soft yet nicely crisp crust. You can keep it simple with cheese or go for one of their specialty pies like the Express Special. There are also wings, salads, and calzones if you want more than just pizza. Portions are solid, and overall, the food hits the spot if you want classic, comforting pizza. We customized our pizza with just sausage and mushrooms. It hit the spot. SERVICE: 8/10 Service is friendly and welcoming. The team keeps things moving, and it's definitely more of a neighborhood, relaxed pace rather than fancy restaurant service, but it works well for the vibe and keeps the experience pleasant. AMBIANCE: 8/10 The atmosphere is casual and old‑school ...think local pizza joint with a few tables, no frills, and a community feel. It's the kind of place where you can grab a pizza and hang out without feeling rushed. Perfect for takeout too. Parking near Cortland Ave is usually manageable, and they offer both dine‑in and takeout/delivery options. This place is a dependable, solid neighborhood pizza spot worth checking out. Not the most upscale place, but if you're craving classic, old‑school pizza with plenty of topping options and a laid‑back vibe, this place delivers. read more

Pizza Express - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tonights experience was terrible. Usually Pizza Express is my go to since it is just on the other side of the hill. Been going here for years! Tonight however, my delivery guy was a real jerk! I notice the guy showed up, so I get up and meet him at my door...this guy was rude and aggressive while handing over the pizza box so that I may sign the receipt. Not a good impression. I try to greet the guy and thank him for the delivery as I am still signing the piece of paper, and I click the pen because I am finished. And then this guy snatches the pen out of my hand and says "that's my pen". I snapped at dude, like "Excuse you! That was rude bro." And I know that he heard me because he was muttering something as he walked away. He was wearing one of those bluetooth headsets that hang on your ears and run along the back of your head. Anyways, I called this in. I explained myself to the woman on the phone and tried my best to not raise my voice with her, because it's not her fault and I was not upset with her or my food. She listened to me and was very nice about it. So thank you to her. But delivery dude needs to take some customer service training because I didn't deserve that shit. In case you are wondering, he got no tip. read more

Pizza Express - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was working 3 minutes away and knew that there was a familiar pizza joint in the Bernal heights neighborhood. I had never been here in person, but I used to work somewhere that ordered from here often back in 2018. As I sat waiting for my large pizza to be ready, I had some banter with the workers. They said that they have been the same owners for over 40 years now. With that said, I knew that I was gonna be biting into a good pizza pie. I wasn't the only one that was making small talk with the staff. A few others that came to pick up their orders were having the same relaxed conversation about the pizza and their everyday life as if they were long time friends catching up. You gotta love it, this business is clearly ran on quality food, service and respect from the community. Now for the pizza.. I was trying to share with 2 other people so a large was just enough to get the job done. Plenty hot and full of flavor. Lastly, the ambiance was that of a classic old school pizza joint. Strictly business with a couple of tables. I'm glad this place survived the pandemic and hope they stay in business for another 40 years. read more

Pizza Express - BURNT FOR DAYS!! Had to throw away! - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been ordering from this place for the last 8 to 9 years. It's always been good. last few times including last night I was sent a warmed over pizza that was burned, the cheese was congealed and the crust was hard. I'm old enough to know what a reheated old pizza looks like. Heres a few pictures. They sent a fresh one which was good. I am not gonna order from this joint anymore. read more

So it's been 30mins since I told the pizza girl to have the owner call me regarding my wrong order....no return call so I decided to post it. Dont order from here. They burned the bottom of my pizza and got my order wrong more than once. Today, with my pizza, I ordered cheese bread and the girl who took my order told me the receipt said garlic bread. The crazy thing is when she took my order she told me to hold on so she can add the cheese bread. But when I got my order it was not cheese bread but garlic bread. So I called back to let them know so they can send me my cheese bread. Simple fix right? Well no! She told me that THE OWNER said they cant send me my cheese bread because I already got it. Got what? I got what I DID NOT order. I told her I'd be happy to give the driver the garlic bread I DID NOT ORDER back. Not an easy fix. Customer service is horrible. They dont want to fix the wrong order instead she said driver cant return. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! Customer service sucks! When they mess up yr order they will tell you their driver cant return with the correct order because they busy but instead you will have to come pick it up. WTH! Yup that's how they fix the situation and treat their customers. Im not ordering from them ever again. I WAS a regular customer. I'm going elsewhere and so should you. STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! read more

Pizza Express - Express Special Pizza I think. It was loaded and good! Large already dug into - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cortland Ave is not a destination for late night, so I was grateful to find Pizza Express this Monday evening, almost home and reluctant to trek down to Mission. They were open at 9:35, the staff were welcome to have me, and the pizza was truly express, done in 10-12 minutes while I waited. As others have mentioned, this is a longstanding, neighborhood small business, and I appreciated the prompt, no frills service, especially when I just wanted to eat. Arriving home I had modest expectations for taste and was happily surprised. Mediterranean Special - UPVOTE. Lots of veggies, delicious artichoke hearts (a fave of mine), legit sundried tomatoes. Great pie. Thanks Pizza Express! I'll be back! read more

The food is really great my favorite is a calzone with pesto and bacon. Their ranch is amazing

We have been coming here for years! Since middle school and now I'm 29, PROPS TO THE CHEFF TODAY! The crust is crisp and yet fluffy and the overall the pizza is delicious I ordered two smalls one basic pepperoni w red sauce and a chicken with pesto sauce. 10 out of 10 . The check out person as always very nice! read more

A great pizza and really nice folks making it. Throughout covid and before this was our office go to for pizza, their specialty pizzas are delicious and if you order x large they throw in a free 2 litre soda. Really great place read more

So once I was exploring my neighborhood looking something to fill my fat ass stomach and then I find pizza express and it was amazing. So tips if you go 1. TIP THE WORKERS because what your about to taste is very good 2. If your with a group find somewhere to eat because the actual place is small and there are not a lot of seats 3. Enjoy it while it last because the pizza there is so good. The crust is so fluffy and the cheese is stringy goodness and it is so authentic because they actually make it like traditional pizza and it's so big it will fill you up with like 2-3 slices. The only thing that is wrong with this place is the price but it is not that bad for the quality. So if you want an authentic whole on the wall pizza, or something that the whole family would like get pizza express. read more

Pizza is always so yummy! Delivery is fast and efficient. Great pizza for a great price. Nice to support neighborhood businesses!

My new favorite pizza spot. I'm a San Francisco native and have had the same favorite pizza spot for over 20 years. But I have to say I love this place. The pizza is great. The service is great. I've tried multiple pies and they have all been amazing. And to find out that this place is also owned and operated by a San Francisco native makes it even better. Don't walk run to go get pizza from Pizza express! read more

Had the Cortland pizza & it was delicious!! The pesto is perfection. May not be Tony's, but definitely would get another pie if I was in the neighborhood. read more

One of my favorite places to go for a late night snack service there is amazing. They are very attentive to your questions and delivering on your expectations. Besides that they make any changes necessary to make your visit and enjoyable one friendly staff always there to to greet smile and be helpful. Ambience can be really crowded later at night, but what do you expect and other times it's mediocre as far as the crowd in there the music is at a reasonable level just a great place to love this place. read more

I used to patron this business frequently until today. Called in an order at 11:00 and was told "12 minutes before it's ready." I got there at 11:15am and paid, waited until 11:32am until my pizza was ready. I asked the 2 guys making the pizza how long until my order was ready and he told me " aye man big order of 20pizzas in front of you." I then get my 2 slices at 11:32 and this is how my pizza looked.... read more

Pizza Express - Their slice of " Hawaiian" pizza. - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've never got a great vibe from the people working here and and the pizza is meh. (But to each their own. It must be surviving somehow!) I hope they can find a way to boost employee morale, improve availability of slices--on Sunday at 12 noon we were told 15-20 minutes for a slice. A fresh coat of paint, a more discreet division between the employee hangout area and the customer area, this could be an awesome joint with the right energy. We drive to Noe for Bernal Heights Pizzeria over walking to this place. read more

Not from the area and came here after hitting up a bar across the street. A cute pizza place in a cute little area, there's a couple of tables inside to sit and eat if you order by the slice or want to eat there. We were able to order by the slice, up to 3 toppings. The pizza had a nice crisp to it and the crust had a good chew to it. It could have used a little more sauce but overall had such great flavor. The people who worked here were nice and I have no complaints of the service. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Pizza Express - Single slice but we were given two smaller slices. We had already eaten one slice each. Yum. Pepperoni, mushroom and bell pepper pizza. - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

YET still paid for the meat ??? Someone please provide answers. Thanks read more

Pizza Express - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Consistently great pizza. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and Pizza Express is still one of the best!

Years have passed and so has the competition in the neighborhood for good pizza, food and service. Since moving back to San Francisco, I've given Pizza Express my business on several occasions. There are many good places to choose from, but the reason I order from them is their crust. They have a really nice doughy crust that is crunchy yet fluffy inside. I do believe in giving restaurants a second chance to make a good impression and supporting local business. I'm a fan of Pizza Express again. read more

Take it from a Boston native this is a solid pie! What makes a 5* pie? A light fluffy crust with fresh crispy veggies and generous portions of chunky meats. They don't charge for delivery so I figured why not? Don't let the "express" fool you, they make a great pizza. read more

Not sure what rating I want to give Pizza Express because it can be good and it can be bad - I just ordered a Pizza close to 7pm and it was made incorrectly so I called back and the girl listened to me complain asked me to hold and then said they were making us a whole new Pizza and to swap it out with the new one that they were going to make but now I have to wait 45 mins for the new pizza to get here - before when Jorge was working and was the manager or overseeing the restaurant he would accommodate his loyal customers and since he is no longer there I feel that Paul does not deal with complaints like Jorge did - I should of either been told we can send you another pizza, give you a discount towards your next order or give you a free pizza next time - I love Pizza Express put I think I may have to take my business elsewhere and I would hate to do that because we have been long time customers and my whole family also dines there - my nephews that come from Texas only like Pizza Express but I like to go where customers are heard and valued. read more

Pizza Express - Pizza Express cheese and sausage pie - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Pizza here is just ok, not the best. The dough is thick and the pizza sauce is mediocre, kinda sweet. Pizza here used to be better 10 years ago. I like that they are open late on Friday and Saturday and that I can just get a slice after a night out just before going home. read more

Honestly really disappointed. My 83 year old grandma lives by herself and was hungry so I placed an order for deliver for her, was told it would be about 45 minutes and gave them her number to call in case anything happened. She called me later and told me the pizza was an hour and a half late. She doesn't have great teeth and the pizza was really burnt to the point where she couldn't eat it. read more

Pizza Express at 813 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110 is not the same anymore. I ordered the Express Special Pizza because it was once my favorite. This time I had more crust and less toppings and cheese. The crust was harder than usual. The toppings were half the toppings they usually put on it and the cheese was very light. This is no longer my favorite pizza spot anymore. Let me give you advice Pizza Express never change your recipe and compromise your toppings because you rip your customers off doing that. I am no longer coming here again and your customer service associates are rude. The girl who rung me up just yells at the other associates working there. I am so disappointed in my pizza purchase here. read more

The best pizza in San Francisco! My family has been ordering from Pizza Express my whole life. Great staff and great quality.

Not exactly sure what the hype and craze is about. In my opinion, it is overpriced and not worth the money. It's a fairly straightforward pizza. I didn't think it was particularly noteworthy. The crust was excellent ,an d how the pizza was packed. They were fast. Good place but not my favorite. read more
