We stopped here for a nice lunch in the middle of a busy day of hiking and hitting the beach, so we were definitely hungry and Verrazzano did not disappoint! Their Sicilian pizzas take about 30-40 minutes to cook, but they had this whole pizza available for by-the-slice so they just heated it up for us. If you're familiar with Detroit style pizza, this is similar. The crust is pillowy, soft, and herbaceous. The generous portions of sauce, cheese, and toppings are almost too heavy for the crust so you definitely need both hands to pick up a slice. The pizza is basically dripping with decadence -- normally the small is split into 4 slices but we asked them to split it into 6 -- definitely the right move. I have a smaller appetite and one and a half slices was more than plenty for me, while my buddy who has a much larger appetite had three slices. I definitely recommend asking for ranch and hot sauce if that's you're thing since they' really enhance the experience. read more

I picked this place for a quick takeout that I could walk to --for my first night in town. It turned out to be such a great idea. I figured I would get a small pizza and eat the rest for lunch. It turned out to be way bigger than expected for this Sicilian style pizza. I have to say it was an incredible feast. The perfect ratios of cheese, pepperoni and sauce were balanced and very tasty. The garlic knots were exceptional. And they have Mexican Coke- which made everything even more amazing. Service was great. I ordered at the counter took my dog for a walk and came back and maybe about 10 minutes outside people watching. So it was about a 30-40 minutes wait if you order at the counter, but it looked like a lot of people pre-ordered by calling in. They were in and out swiftly. read more

Excellent pizza! Nice clean restaurant with friendly service. I go here on the way to the beach.

Excellent pizza and great service. As close to NYC Pizza that I have found in California.

Really fabulous pizza today.7 days since I had pizza and wow what a great experience. Thank you read more

By far the best pizza place in Half Moon Bay, perhaps even in the Bay Area. We usually get their pizzas delivered, and service is fast and friendly. Their pepperoni pizza is great, try it with hot honey. That said, the star of the menu is the Humble Pie, a vegetarian choice. Try it in both regular (thin crust) and Sicilian (square, deep dish) styles. So good! C is a New Yorker and she swears this is the only place that serves true New York style pizza in the entire Bay Area. read more

Swung by for a slice with some friends. My payment was getting declined over and over, not knowing I had a fraud alert from my bank. The young lady working, paid for our slices herself. She said to pay it forward and to have a nice day. 5 stars! read more

Very very slow service, by the time we got our food it was all cold. Don't come here if you need food on good timing.

The ambiance was nice, there was only one side of the wall that was fit for seating. Mainly for waiting really, the menu was not posted on the wall, you would need a paper menu to see the options available. They have a selection of wines, beers and seltzers. The wait was about 1minutes for a medium combo pizza. They had a marvel movie on the TV and the cashier was nice and helpful with any questions I had about the pizza. The pizza itself was really big for a medium and it was super tasty! read more

Verrazzano Pizza - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

A hidden gem in Half Moon Bay! A great place to get pizza by the slice or whole. We stopped by after a trip to a nearby farm and ordered a Feed Me Seymour and a Veganista pizza. Both were made fresh and served in about 30 minutes. The pizzas were well made, enough toppings and generous sauce. Both tasted super fresh and delicious. Their pizzas are indeed super large in size and can serve a crowd. They do not have a lot of place to sit but they do have some common seating on the other side of the complex. It is super sunny at noon there but workable. Would totally recommend this spot for some piping hot pizzas! read more

Yes ! Thank you Yelpers for guiding us there. Crunchy tasty dough. I had cheese slice and my husband had a Sicilian slice. I'm glad we stopped. Hit the spot! Friendly service, no seating inside a couple little tables outside. We ate in the car and the slices were hot and flavorful. read more

Great pizza! Sauce to cheese to topping ratio was great, and the pizza came out piping hot. Very kind staff was mostly teens, so the energy in the little place was positive and very friendly! The service was quick as well. It is well lit and there are even options for dessert and lots of beverages to choose from. However, do not that this is not very much of a sit down restaurant. read more

Good pizza and fast service. Would love delivery to may area but willing to drive for a good pizza.

This is our fav pizza in Half Moon Bay. It has a nondescript location, and you would have little clue of the quality of their pies from the outside. The pizza always comes out delicious, and cheesy. The outer crust has some brown bubbles that just add to the marvelous taste. The toppings are all of very high quality, so don't hold back get them all. Or, if you are a purist like me, just get the cheese pie it is heavenly. You can't do any better in Half moon Bay! The service is quick and friendly and professional. The ambiance is better than your average pizza parlor. Go for it! read more

This was some of the best pizza I've ever had! The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, with just the right amount of chew. I opted for the regular pepperoni pizza, and the fresh basil and pepperoni made it truly exceptional. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They also have a great selection of local beers to pair with your pizza. If you're in the area, definitely stop by--this place is a must-try for any pizza lover! Can't wait to go back! read more

came here tonight for the first time. it seems it under new management. I got a 16" humble pie and a 16" the bull. Both were just okay, but I have to confess, I'm not a fan of the NY floppy crust style. The sausage was crumbled up too finely, which made it dry, but otherwise high quality, tasty toppings Points off for not having a customer bathroom to use during the 25 minute wait, and even worse, sending me to Jersey Joe's who have à prominent sign saying "restrooms for customers only" read more

The staff were extremely friendly- top-notch service! Not my first time having Verrazano's, but they never disappoint!!!! Food is exceptional as always. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch after Lemos Farm. One downside is there is no indoor seating or bathrooms, seems much more of a takeout type of place. They did have two small tables outside but they were in the direct sun and it got pretty hot. We got the Lord of the Pies pizza which was pretty good. A small ($23) was enough to feed 3 people. read more

We bought a large cheese pizza for lunch after hanging out at the beach. Our freshly made pizza was done in 10 minutes. It was soooooo good! The two staff members were super nice.

Long-time and repeat customer and probably plan to continue, but had a very disappointing experience recently with their Sicilian pizza which I had not ordered before. I love their NY-style Al Pastor pizza and eat it very regularly (particularly because their sauce is great!), and that's why this is staying 3 stars, although I hovered over 2 due to my customer service experience. Ordered an Al Pastor Sicilian with light cheese, and instead received a pizza with no sauce on the crust - only cheese - with about a teaspoon or two of sauce on random corners of the slices. That's not normal NY or non-NY Sicilian pizza (which usually has plenty of sauce, either on top or under the cheese), and made this a difficult eating experience, since it was just inch-thick bread and a bunch of cheese. Finally, despite the heavy advertisement of "extra toppings" and *zero* mention of the weird sauce situation, this was exactly the topping amount on their normal Al Pastor. I would know, I've ordered dozens of those. So, nothing to mitigate the hefty amount of cheese and lack of sauce, making for a very dry bite. Essentially a cheese bread with an onion and a bit of sausage in the bite. Pic for context - that little dab of sauce on the corner was it for this (and several other) slices. Some had two dabs. What topped off this absolute dream of a $40 pre-tax and pre-delivery pizza was the restaurant's response to my complaint of receiving an odd and difficult to enjoy pizza not contemplated by the menu description, which was to tell me that this was normal and that they were not going to do anything about it. I've spent a whole lot of money here over the years and it kind of sucked to get a complete brush off after an objectively negative experience. Unsolicited advice: your menu should let people know your Sicilian is really a pizza bianca. read more

Verrazzano Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

There are always a lot of pizza places anywhere you go but this one deserves special merit! We were looking for a pizza place for a day trip out to the coast and this one caught our eye with the good reviews and unique (in ingredients and the pizza names!) pizzas they had on the menu. I was a bit skeptical at first since the pizzas are not cheap but after we started eating I loved it! They say they use locally sourced ingredients, no additives, etc... and you can tell with the quality of how everything tastes. We got "The Bull" which basically is sausage, pepperoni, and cremini mushrooms. The house made sausage is awesome, there was a good amount of toppings on the pie, and I loved the texture of the crust. It is a thin crust pizza but it's not overbaked and burnt and the crust has a nice chewiness to it. We also got the garlic knots and those are my daughter's favorite and we love them too! We've already been back- on our very next trip coastside. This time we got a small white clam and garlic to try. It wasn't bad but my wife said she's had better clam pizzas before. However, it must be noted that she's spent time in New Haven, which is where this kind of pizza started! At any rate, we've enjoyed both visits here and this is definitely a contender any time we're near Half Moon Bay! read more
