    Custom white sauce pizza with caramelized onions, smoked mozzarella, and bacon. A new fave!
    HR B.

    The food here is incredible. The salads, the pasta the sandwiches and of course the Pizza are all stellar. Service is always friendly and speedy. I often order here for pick up for lunch and it's usually ready the before estimated time which is awesome.

    Caprese salad is so delicious with grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, sliced olives and jalapeños.

    Always a great place for deli salads, pizza, and pasta. I ordered a slice of Margarita pizza, the Caprese salad with ripe grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, olives, red peppers, and sliced jalapenos, and lemonade. This combo is less than $13. Fresh ingredients are brought in daily for their dishes. Service is fast and friendly. Plenty of parking in this strip mall and outdoor seating. Highly recommend it!

    I am used to taking food to go but managed to dine in and I'm hooked! Nothing beats their freshly made food and their pizza - hot and crisp. Will be back soon! Highly recommend.

    Pizza Republic was a hidden gem I never even knew until recently! I tried out their mac and cheese with broccoli, veggie sandwich, eggplant parm, cheese pizza, and pineapple with pepperoni pizza. They were all super declious. But the eggplant parm was the one that stood out to me. It was so flavorful that I just kept eating it until it was gone. I love how they have really good dishes for vegetarian options. 5/5!

    The food was delicious! Probably the best salads and pizza we've eaten in all of San Luis Obispo. The prices are reasonable and the food is healthy, fresh, and yummy. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!!

    Eating in your car? They provide car hop trays to enjoy your meal. Patio dining is available.

It is exactly the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy a great meal. A big thank you to Jeff behind the bar, who took amazing care of us and made the whole experience even better. We also had the pleasure of meeting Giuseppe, the owner's son, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the restaurant. The food was absolutely unbelievable. The Italian baguette sandwich is a must. It is so flavorful and perfectly done. The beet salad was fresh, delicious, and a great complement to the meal. We truly love sitting at the bar here. It has such a fun vibe, and we cannot wait to come back. Thank you again to Jeff for the outstanding service and to Giuseppe for running such a fabulous restaurant.

    My husband and I were visiting San Luis Obispo for the first time and decided to stop by Giuseppe's…read morefor our anniversary. We had our dog with us, and when we stopped in during the afternoon while walking around downtown, the hostess was incredibly pleasant and helpful. She was tall with dark hair and gave us a great recommendation on what time to come back for dinner before things got too busy. We really appreciated how welcoming she was. We came back later that evening and checked in for a table. The hostess working then, who had short brown hair, told us the wait would be about an hour, so we decided to wait. We walked around with our dog and came back to check on our table. When I asked about the wait, she told me in what felt like a very condescending and dismissive tone that we had about 45 minutes left. I mentioned that it had already been about 30 minutes, and she then corrected herself. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and that working a busy dinner shift can be stressful, but there's still a way to communicate with customers without making them feel like an inconvenience. Our table was eventually ready, and we were taken through an alley to the back patio with our dog. Unfortunately, there wasn't much interaction or warmth during that process--no "How is your evening?" or anything that made us feel particularly welcomed. That being said, the food itself was good, and our server was fine. The service was a little slow, but the restaurant was extremely busy, so I think they may simply need additional staff to keep up with the volume. We noticed people who arrived after us were we're going to have a two hour wait. Personally, I wouldn't wait that long. Overall, the food was good and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but the customer service and extremely long wait took away from what was supposed to be a special anniversary evening. I think there is definitely room for improvement in how guests are treated while they're waiting.

We started with wine and they served little garlic bread balls as we went over the menu. We selected three appetizers (we had five in the group), the Bruschetta, caprese and the meatballs. The bruschetta came with three pieces, there were two meatballs and about six tomatoes and cheeses made the caprese. They were all delicious, but the meatballs were really good, a great homemade taste. We ordered a variety of mains: the salmon piccata, (nice size serving), baked penne (so good), Ravioli Di Ricotta (very tasty, less ricotta than the penne dish), Tortellacci Ring-shaped pasta filled with braised short ribs, served in ossobuco sauce (my favorite, paired great with the Chianti), and a penne with vodka sauce (my daughter raved about the sauce). For desert we forced ourselves to split up a bomba (Spumoni with chocolate shell) and a crème brûlée. Both were excellent, but we think we should have tried the Tiramisu because the menu said something about prepared table side. Well, I guess we'll have to come back, that and, we did not try the pizza! Well worth it, great meal, very attentive service, and a nice atmosphere with a formal dinner presentation.

However, this restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. They don't attempt to be overly authentic, they are! They serve Italian food at its finest in the SLO area, and I greatly appreciate that. I was first introduced to this place by one of my colleagues in our industry. We decided to hold a speaker program here, and it turned out to be a brilliant choice. My second visit was just as enjoyable, and I would highly recommend the following dishes: - Bruschetta - Mozzarella Caprese - Calamari Fritti (a bit spicy) - Insalata Café Roma - Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa, Salsiccia, e Pecorino (this dish resonates with me since orecchiette originated in the region of my family's heritage) - Osso Buco alla Milanese - Scampi Piccata - Salmone Alla Griglia When it comes to dessert, here's what I would recommend: - Caffe Affogato - Spumoni Ice Cream covered in a chocolate shell You may wonder why I chose these. The Caffe Affogato and spumoni are what we, as true Italians, consider authentic. Tiramisu, while delicious, is a non-traditional dessert that was invented much later. Just "think about it and forget about it" ;-) lol, even though it's really good! Tell em Joey sent you. Ha! Ciao!

The Toffee Chocolate has a light sprinkle of salt on top which just brings the perfect salty flavor to a sweet toffee dough. Their dough is truly made with brown butter, which brings such a nutty flavor to their shortbread. They do sell regular cookies as well but the shortbread is where it is at and we learned that the cookies came from the sister owners who gave them away at their sandwich shop. They have a few stores now in Paso, Caycucos and cookies are made at their production facility in Atascadero. Wonderful find!!
