    We came with a large group on a Friday to celebrate birthday. The restaurant has a family style diner vibe, and you can see lots of families dining there, which makes the atmosphere feeling lively and welcoming. We ordered a bunch of dishes, some had Mediterranean influences, especially the salads. The food tasted good, and the portions were huge.

    I think Rainbow Pizza is a family owned restaurant, and to quote Doug Demuro, that comes with some interesting quirks and features. We came with a huge group on Friday, which is one of the big plusses: they are able to handle many huge groups. But at this Greek American fusion restaurant, they do everything big. The menu is the size of a 24" monitor for no good reason, and some of their menu is outdated - we tried to order a pitcher of beer and they said they only do it by the bottles Some of their dishes had mediterranean influence such as the salad, but I'd be hard pressed to say their pizzas are really greek influenced. That's not to say the flavor is bad, and the portions are indeed massive, but the Greek fusion aspect is lost in translation

    Gyros platter

    Looking for fresh, plentiful, and options? Look no further. No really, Rainbow Pizza can satisfy nearly any craving. No really, their menu is about 10 pages including pizza, pasta, Greek, sandwiches... you name it. I've only done takeout a few times, but I enjoyed everything I ever ordered. Their pizza is loaded. I've had their Greek-American pizza which resembles a supreme/combo-like pizza. Though I really enjoyed their pizza and its freshness and the abundant toppings, I might prefer their Greek food just a little more. My favorite item is their gyro platter, which includes beef/lamb gyro meat, crispy fries, a huge fresh Greek salad, pita bread, and huge tzatziki side. It came in a literal foil catering pan! It fed both me and my partner for dinner, and we still had enough leftovers for another meal.

    Every time I meet with my client, we come here for lunch. Yes it's a pizza restaurant but it's much more than that. It's a family owned Greek restaurant. Plenty of seating both inside and out. Very friendly service with very reasonable pricing. The pizzas are loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection with delicious ingredients.

    Stellar experience when we visited for an early dinner with our toddler and baby on our way home on a Saturday evening. Service was excellent, the staff was super friendly (albeit slightly disorganised). They found a nice spot for us to park our stroller and gave us a high chair. Our son loved the giant olives on the Greek style pizza we ordered. The portions are huge and hearty - we had a mini pizza which fed my 2 year old and I and we had half a pizza to take home! We also ate a mountain of salad and some very tasty lemon/egg drop soup. The interior is quirky - lots of unique and colourful wall art. It's a little cramped in the entryway with a lot of delivery boxes and not much space - but once you get inside, it's spacious enough. It's a shame we don't live closer, else I could see a lot more pizza at Rainbow PIzza in our future!

    You do not want to miss out on going to Rainbow Pizza in San Mateo! Friendly employees, especially the owner, delicious flavorful food, with generous portions, and a comfortable, Greek decorated restaurant! Perfect for family dining - their dishes are more than enough to share. One of my must-order choices is The Vegetarian Pizza #8. The cheese and olives are the best around, not to mention the crust! Also, don't miss out on their famous Greek Salad - I could make a meal of that alone. I would highly recommend Rainbow Pizza! We will be back very soon!

    Horiataki Salad
    Brian H.

    Omg - what shall we say . Traditional Greek food. Greek language and the staff are great. The menu is vast and very authentic. I lived in Greece for a while and I'll say . WIN. I had the mousakka and the Horiataki Salad. No olives - too much sodium. The family run business is quaint and warm. I took so many pictures. I love eggplant and will be back. I'll bring my dad who is a huge fan of Greek life. Please stop by- you will be happy you did. The pizza is some of the best I ever had. I got the meat lovers pizza -

    I used to live close by to here in the 90's. I moved away in 2000 and this was the first time I've been back since then. This place is just as I remember. Fresh ingredients, great service and great food.

    Greek American pizza, mushroom spaghetti and Greek salad
    Sammi L.

    We get Rainbow Pizza almost every year for my dad's birthday - the Greek American is one of his all-time favorites. While I don't personally love the plethora of toppings, he does, and that's what's important! My mom and I usually split the mushroom spaghetti (very comforting), Greek salad and garlic bread. They definitely excel in comfort food. We used to dine in frequently when we lived on the peninsula but have since gotten takeout. It was a great spot to bring groups for family dinners. Staff have always incredibly friendly and warm. Parking can be a bit tough in the complex since you're competing with Safeway, Starbucks and other restaurants, so either wait for a spot or park in the lot along the side. My dad's birthday is coming up, so we'll be stopping by again soon.

    Fried salmon and veggies. Omg it was delicious and healthy.
    Tomanu T.

    Best pizza in the world. Omg I love this place. It's was our first time visiting and I was satisfied with the Tate service and presentation. The food is amazing and flavorful. The service is wonderful and sufficient. The place is clean and there are a lot of table to sit at. The waitress was so nice and polite. She made everything go so smoothly.

It's been a long time since I've been so impressed with an Italian buffet ! We stared with a huge spread of anti pasta dishes - the rolled eggplant was amazing - the caprese salad was so fresh and amazing -pesto on toast was also a hit - the fresh mozzarella and prosciutto was amazing everything we had was excellent! The pasta course another hit - they make their own spinach ravioli and you can tell - I'm not usually a fan of ravioli but I had 3 beautiful plump raviolis - the marinara sauce yummy! Gnocchi my favorite- soft tender pillows with a beautiful cream sauce excellent! At this point I was FULL yet we still had the entree course - had a very small taste of the veal which would have been top on my list if I hadn't been so full - love the capers in this dish! Oh I had head about their Tiramisu! And guess what we had for dessert! Yes this is made in house too - very light yet full body flavored! Next time I'm going direct to dessert! I can't say enough positive things about the service here! These people are amazing - they were always clearing plates- offering refills of water or drinks- helping parents with children for food! If you're going to entertain a group this is the place! Yes parking can be intimidating as there is only street parking but at some point you will find a space. Great people with awesome food!

We went on a slow night and still dealt with a total "slow turnaround" and some classic operational gaffes. They couldn't find the bottle of wine we actually wanted and then spent way too much time trying to sell us on a different bottle we had zero interest in. It was a bit of a circus just to get the basics situated. But then the food arrived, and that's where the magic happened. I've seen reviews complaining about a "lack of flavor," but that was not our experience at all. We started with the beet salad--the honey-lemon notes were nice, though nothing to write home about. But once the mains hit, everything changed. The Carpaccio was spot on, the Ribeye (prepared perfectly to medium) was delicious, and the Branzino special was fantastic. And the Rigatoni Rustica? Believe the hype. It's a classic for a reason. Bottom line: The service is definitely sloppy, but I wouldn't dismiss this place because of it. The food is genuinely good Italian and the prices are reasonable for Burlingame. My advice? Skip the salads, ignore the service "monkey dance," and go straight for the classics. I'd definitely go back just for the steak and the Rigatoni alone. Highly recommended if you actually care about what's on your plate. An A++ local find.

Always love the option to join the online waitlist ahead of time when reservations aren't available. Favorite dishes of the night were: -Gnocchi Fritto appetizer: Never had fried gnocchi before, had a great puffy texture. Truffle taste in the truffle cream sauce wasn't very strong. -Zucchine e Maiz lasagna: Pesto was a great sauce choice and paired well with the zucchini and corn. -Squid Ink Seafood Pasta (special): Generous seafood portions and the dish was flavorful. -Complimentary focaccia: Fluffy and yummy with olive oil. Other dishes: The Italian Sausage lasagna was fine. I personally love crispy lasagna edges, but some people found it too crisp and too dry. The salad (Insalata di Rucola) wasn't mind blowing, but I'm glad we ordered a veg to cut through the richness and heaviness of three carb-heavy entrees. The restaurant itself is smaller than expected, so I would avoid coming here with large parties. It also felt really hot and stuffy inside, which I anticipate getting worse as summer progresses. The interior is cutely decorated. Service was initially attentive. We did have to flag down our waitress multiple times to order and get the check.

Seafood Linguni Special (5/5): If the waiter tells you this is the special today, this is a MUST ORDER! We substituted the squid ink spaghetti with linguini, and it perfectly soaked up the DECADENT SAUCE. Not too salty and perfectly balanced. Complimented the seafood incredibly. I will come back and eat this EVERY TIME. Pesto Gnocchi (4/5): They cook the gnocchi really tender and soft, so don't expect really chewy potato dumplings. I personally like the texture and it absorbed the pesto really well. This had no frills and was simple. Could use some more salt and cheese, but still easily yummy. -1 star because we did find a little piece of white plastic in our Lasagna Bolognese (pictured in this review). Such a bummer since we had a wonderful experience overall.
