TL;DR: Best pizza peninsula! Long-time supporter first-time reviewer. I've tried a bunch of pies but always come back to our 2 favorites: - classic Margherita: great crust and perfect char - Pesto soppressata: such a good balance and great flavor I would write more but really not needed. It's just the best. Saw the line driving by the other day - do not come on weekends hah Cheers, Vesta! read more

Was craving some local pizza, and this place has been going viral because BTS members have tried it, so we decided to give it a try. They have a great selection of pizzas. The pizza was good, but it didn't really stand out. I also loved that they have plenty of outdoor seating. It's conveniently located in downtown Redwood City, with lots of parking nearby. Just a heads-up, it gets super crowded during peak dinner hours, and the wait can be long. If you don't want to wait, I'd recommend ordering takeout like I did or visiting during off-peak hours. read more

I feel like they got even more popular after BTS dined there. For me it was just aright. Butter salad was literally a whole head of butter lettuce with leaves pulled off and pickled onions. Both margherita and honey/sausage were aright. Super thin so it was hard to pick up. Both crusts were a bit too charred for my liking. Service was good though they were busy. Indoor/outdoor seating. Street parking and garage nearby. read more

I went to Vesta for a dinner date with my partner, and we had a good time! We did not have a reservation, and waited about 15 minutes for a table. When we got seated, the waiter was quick and helped us get our order in. The food came relatively quick! I was excited to try their seasonal peach pizza, and luckily they still had some left! The balsamic on the peach pizza gave it a nice sweetness with the bacon salty bits. The sausage and honey pizza was also so good! The honey really pulls the flavors together, and the sausage was tender. Next time, we would like to try their pineapple and prosciutto pizza! We will be back! read more

Delicious spot, with a ton of pizza options and seasonal creativity. Apparently the boy band BTS loves it here? I couldn't name one of their songs if you offered me all the free pizza in the world. But I'll be back to this spot, next visit to the Bay Area. Also: try the creamy, life-renewing latte. read more

Vesta is a perfect restaurant to visit in the summer when things are heating up and nights are warm. I came here with 2 friends and we enjoyed catching up over a bottle of bubbly, good appetizers (the mushroom toast, charred cauliflower, and zucchini cakes) and a couple pizzas. - The server was super friendly and gave us a great tour of the menu as we were all first timers. It was a long-planned reunion, and we were grateful that the servers never rushed us along as we took our time and had a leisurely dinner. - The sausage and honey pizza was especially a hit! It was thin, crispy, and served to us piping hot! - Tip: sit in the backyard patio area. It's still outside but largely shaded, which was helpful as we came on a hot, windy day. It was pleasantly cool without any gusts back there! All in all, this is such a cool spot and I'm looking forward to coming back for great Italian food! read more

I went to Vesta for the first time for a family reunion of 9 people. We met on a Sunday and had to wait for 1.5 hours before we were seated. Thankfully the weather was good and there were outdoor activities. The pizzas were amazing. We got the Margherita pizza which my son loved, I think he ate the whole pizza. We also got the mushroom onion but customized it with pesto sauce, a vegan cheese pizza and 2 more customized pizzas. I appreciate the customizations and thoughtfulness of the server! The review would be incomplete if I don't mention my favorite - the roasted cauliflower small plate which I would highly recommend because of the Serrano chilli and honey flavor - it was unique and amazing! So the 4 star review is because of the dessert - the Mexican chocolate bread pudding was disappointing. Overall - good service, great pizza, wouldn't recommend the bread pudding read more

Wonderful staff, lovely ambiance, and delicious food! This has been on my list of places to checkout in the downtown area, and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by friendly staff and sat inside. I saw they had an outdoor patio for outdoor seating, indoor by the front, and also a back area for more private tables. Recommendations: Mushroom toast -- sounds so simple, but PACKED with flavor. It was absolutely delicious and a good shareable. Sausage & Honey Pizza -- one of the more popular pizza options, and I get why. It is sweet, a little spicy, generous amount of toppings, and SOO good. Can't wait to come back and try more of their pizzas! I also saw many tables ordering salads, so definitely will order that next time. read more

Vesta has became quite popular recently - we came here on a Wednesday night around 8pm and was told that the wait for a table would be 1.5 hours - so we just got the pizzas to go and they were ready in a short amount of time. We tried the hot honey sausage pizza, truffle mushroom pizza, carbonara pizza, and the pineapple prosciutto pizzas. All were them were quite good, the dough was soft and chewy, and the toppings were delicious. read more

Made reservations here after my favorite K-pop group dined here three times and raved about it, so obviously I had to come! There weren't a ton of reservations available due to the recent popularity but I actually enjoyed coming in at 4pm to avoid the dinner crowd, and it was nice weather to dine outside in the patio. I preferred the patio just because in the inside was actually quite warm, due to the pizza oven in there. Parking wasn't too difficult at this time on a Saturday, we easily found metered parking less than a block away, but there are a couple of parking structures nearby as well. Service was top notch from the minute we arrived and spoke to the host. They were so kind to us and our children, and checked on us quite frequently, but not in an annoying way. So many great options on the menu - and I like that they separated them by red sauce and white sauce! I'm usually a white sauce fan but I just had to try the sausage honey pizza, which did not disappoint at all. The pizzas are thin crust but the best thin crust I've had - not crunchy or papery, just the right amount of softness and texture that you'd want! And since it was thin crust I wasn't getting too full off of the pizza dough. My husband and I easily shared the sausage honey pizza, but I would have loved to try that carbonara pizza! We didn't want to take any leftovers so I'm glad that we were able to at least finish one pizza without being too full. I don't frequent pizza places too often but so happy that we came across this place! Can't wait to return when we are in the area! read more

Wood fired oven pizza that BTS went to multiple times while they had their show in Stanford May 2026. They raved how good the pizza is! Recommend making a reservation on Open Table and we even asked if we can sit where they sat. The servers and staff were so friendly and open and very excited to hear fans come and check it out, they even gave us stickers! They said that since BTS came with many people they ordered practically the whole menu but what stuck out to them or what they ordered multiple times were the sausage and honey pizza and carbonara pizza. Our server also recommended the mushroom toast which was really good. The pizzas take about 25 mins so they recommend ordering some other things while you wait, we did a kale and I think Caesar salad which was really good. I think we also added a pepperoni pizza, so we had 2 salads, mushroom toast, and 3 pizzas for 4 adults and a toddler. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, they over drinks and I really enjoyed the pizza dough, texture, flavors, and overall it was really good. It was busy for a Friday evening, parking can be a little difficult, there's some parking garages and street parking nearby but give yourself some time to find parking. I enjoyed the vibe, service, and overall ambiance. I am getting hungry just writing about it. read more

My boyfriend and I came here about a week after the BTS concert after hearing them rave about the pizza. We made a reservation ahead of time since we knew it would be busy, and we're glad we did. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation unless you're prepared for a long wait. We were seated right in front of the spot where BTS sat in the side room. We ordered the Calabrian Caesar salad, the burrata plate with prosciutto, and the sausage and honey pizza. We heard that BTS ordered the sausage and honey pizza multiple times, and after trying it, I can see why. Our pizza took 30 minutes to arrive so expect long wait times for food as well. This was my first time trying mascarpone cheese, and I loved how the sweetness of the mascarpone and honey balanced the savory sausage. The flavor combination was amazing. I personally prefer a crispier pizza, so the softer, floppier texture wasn't my favorite, but the flavors more than made up for it. Overall, this is a solid restaurant. Even before BTS visited, I'd heard it was one of the more popular pizza spots in the area. I'll definitely be back. read more

Vegan pizza options! Incredibly busy when I visited, thanks to BTS fans. Luckily, I was able to try the Vegan Maple Mushroom Pizza and the Spicy Vegan Pesto Pizza. They were both delicious. The price was fair as it was enough to share with 2-4 people, depending on how hungry your group is. I liked the pistachio pesto because it added a bright, nutty, and garlicky base to the pie. I also really enjoyed the kick from the serrano chilis which paired nicely with the maple mushrooms. The staff were friendly & provided quick service. This is the perfect spot for any occasion whether it is casual or formal. Outdoor & indoor seating was available. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Went to my favorite pizza spot after the BTS World Tour "ARIRANG" live viewing in Busan with my chingus, most of whom are true ARMYs. We were so lucky to grab the last big table for our group of five! The place was packed with fellow ARMYs, and it honestly felt like the perfect way to keep the BTS excitement going. The staff are always so warm and friendly, and this time they shared some fun stories about BTS's visits. One time the members came in as a big group and ate at the restaurant. Other times, they called in takeout orders for 10 honey sausage pizzas, pepperoni pizzas, and lots of other items. The staff said they had a feeling it was BTS, and later got their confirmation when they saw the members enjoying the pizza on a livestream. Love the food, love the vibes, and love hearing all the BTS stories. I'll always be a Vesta fan! read more

We came here because BTS ate here. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, so we ended up ordering takeout instead. We got 4 pizzas: the sausage and honey, classic margherita, mushrooms and onions, and the sausage and roasted garlic. We also ordered a couple of their small plates (pork meatballs with tomato sauce and the grilled pears with burrata). The best thing about this spot is that they cook their pizzas in a wood fired oven. The crust comes out with just the right amount of char and has that perfect mix of crispy and chewy. Everything we ordered was delicious. The toppings tasted fresh, and each pizza had its own distinct flavor. My favorite was the sausage and roasted garlic pizza. The roasted garlic added so much flavor, and honestly, I could probably eat 2 whole pies by myself. We'll be back for sure. read more

First let's start with the good things: We really liked the ambiance of Vesta. We sat in the back patio and enjoyed a beautiful Saturday lunch in Redwood City. Our host and waiter were really nice and friendly. I also liked that you can tell the ingredients they use to make the pizza is fresh. We ordered the Sauvignon blanc, pork meatballs, grilled sourdough bread, margarita pizza and the sausage & honey pizza. The pork meatballs to me were the best part of the lunch. I liked how it was cooked. Very juicy and the tomato sauce was light. Though I would say tomato sauce was a touch too light. Otherwise I would give those meatballs a 8.2/10! The grilled sourdough bread was pretty good. Nicely toasted and perfect with a side of balsamic. The wine was also tasty! 9/10 to both of those. Let's get to the not so good things: If you like fresh ingredients and lean more towards the light seasoning side of eats, this may be the place for you. Unfortunately for us we felt the margarita pizza was lacking. The pizza didn't hold up well with the tomato sauce and cheese just slides off into the plate as you're picking it up. I'll fault that to the fat content of the cheese plus the olive oil. The outer crust was just crispy enough so that was okay. I think this pizza would benefit greatly from just a bit more salt. Sadly I'm going to have to give that a 5.1/10. The sausage & honey was decent. We felt the tomato sauce had a big step up in flavor compared to the margarita pizza but then it made me question if all this flavor is coming from the honey? Not sure but it was actually the one we ate the most of. 6.4/10. Both pizzas still just could not keep their toppings and cheese on. I'll probably come back but for the meatballs, sourdough bread and wine for a quick light snack in the future. read more

Why 5 stars? Because the sausage and honey pizza was STUPID. --- --- --- Stupid is a good thing, FYI. This was quite possibly the thinnest pizza I've ever had. It was absolutely the kind that you have to roll up to eat, otherwise it's just a flimsy mess. But as it turns out, this flimsy mess was absolute hot fire. To be honest, my only regret is that I didn't order two of them. They were thin and light enough that I absolutely could have housed a couple. And they were tasty enough that maybe I could have done three. My friend wasn't too hungry, but he wanted to try the meatballs, and I was a huge fan of those too. There was no sauce involved, but they were not dried out at all. There was some really unique flavor going on that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but we both loved these. I originally had a reservation here the following night, but had to change my plans and was bummed I was going to have to miss it. Then I ended up being able to visit a night earlier, unexpectedly, and I'm so glad it worked out. I will forever recommend this place to anyone I hear that's visiting Redwood City. read more

Vesta - Sausage & Honey Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Redwood City, California

Thanks to everyone who recommended the mushroom toast because... wow. We ordered the sausage and honey pizza, kale salad, mushroom toast, and cheesecake. The toast really stole the show and I could've eaten an entire meal with just that. Pizza was good, but the crust was a little too chewy for me. It gave me a bit of a jaw workout towards the end of the meal, and the kale salad was solid. The price was very fair! Service was friendly and quick. They do a wonderful job with pacing your meal. The ambiance was casual and clean. I loved that they spaced the tables out well so it was a good vibe but each party had some privacy to talk. The area is super cute and the weather was lovely so we sat outside and had the best time. Definitely recommend for a yummy slightly upscale casual eat :) read more

They sat us straight away after checking in and they have this cute area at the back of the restaurant that perfectly blocks out the grilling sun while letting wind in. It was very comfortable and not that noisy since tables were a good distance apart. Our waiter was amazing and so down to earth. We tried the Sausage & Honey and Carbonara pizza which was so flavorful and unique. Also tried their seasonal grilled asparagus as appetizer! Everything tasted 10/10 and would definitely come back! read more

We come to Vesta often for their margarita pizza: thin, fresh tomato sauce, and nice layer of toppings. Tried their daily special sweet potato soup with coconut milk and lemon yogurt this time. 3.5/5. Not very impressed. I could barely taste the coconut milk, and the consistency needed to be a bit creamier. The lemon yogurt it's an interesting addition but not necessarily enhanced the flavor either. What boost my review is our server, Cindy. She's friendly, efficient, and very professional. read more

Both pizzas were also so good the honey was a nice texture that laid on top of the pizza. I think the bread of the pizza was two year than what I'm used to/what I like but overall it was still yummy.

Vesta - Sausage & Honey Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Redwood City, California

I would drive to Redwood City just for this pizza, and that says everything!! This is my favorite place to get stone oven pizza right now, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The space really stands out. There are three different lighting scenes depending on where you sit, which gives the restaurant different vibes throughout. You can choose between indoor dining, a more lively inside area, or a relaxed outdoor patio, and each area feels intentional and well designed! Service was one of the highlights of my visit. My server, Ashley, was extremely nice and patient, and gave great recommendations. Right when I walked in, two hosts greeted me at the same time, which was such a cute and welcoming touch. The manager was also present and involved, which made the overall experience feel even more attentive! I also had a Chardonnay, which paired perfectly with the pizza and really elevated the whole meal! Items I ordered: Avocado Toast: Pistachio pesto, creamy avocado, chili kick. Usually this is something I can remake at home, but this one was so good I honestly don't think I could replicate it haha! Grilled Pear and Burrata: Sweet pears with creamy burrata Braised Short Ribs: Tender with apple fennel slaw Sausage and Honey Pizza: Sweet and spicy balance Carbonara Pizza: Rich, savory, very satisfying Mexican Chocolate Bread Pudding: Warm, moist, and comforting with a horchata-like milk layer at the bottom The pizzas were the standout, but everything was well executed. This is a place I would come back to again!!!! read more

(Downtown Redwood City) Food:*sausage and honey pizza (8.9/10)- tomato sauce, spicy Italian sausage, mascarpone, honey, serrano. Loved the wood-fire thin pizza. All three pizzas were made well and the base did not fall apart when you take a slice. Sausage is not spicy but the Serrano pepper tasted so fresh with the spice not over powering. Has a hint of honey. You really have to take your time chewing it to taste it. Overall delicious but could have added a hint more sauce and cheese for my preference. * Grassfed Beef & Pickled Peppers (8.8)- tomato sauce, grassfed organic beef, white cheddar, pecorino, oregano, pickled peppers, red onion. This was on the unique side. The beef tasted like taco meet. *Margherita(8.8)- tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil. Dish was delicious and like all of them the ingredients were fresh. Again my preference but could have added a little more cheese. My nephew really enjoyed the basil haha.. what I like about all three dishes is that I never felt bloated during and after walking around. *Sundae(9.2/10)-vanilla gelato, tcho chocolate sauce, fresh whipped cream, toasted hazelnuts. This was yummy. Consistency of the gelato could have been a little thicker but the whipped cream was spot on. Chocolate and hazelnuts were amazing finishing touch. *Lemon sorbet (9.5/10). Perfect consistency and great portion size. It definitely has an intense sour and tart flavor that will wake you up haha. You are definitely eating lemon which I enjoyed. Ambience: very clean modern neutral colors. Big open space between indoor/outdoor so you can feel the fresh air even staying inside. Service:great service. Our server was very kind, informative, and checked in on us for water and other needs. It's what made me categorized this restaurant as 5 star. Hope it's like this on a busy day because we did went on the middle of the day on a weekday Price: this place is on the more expensive side for pizza but worth the try given the quality of food, location, service, and setting. Nice little area to walk around outside after eating Parking:no designated parking spot that I saw. You have to drive around the area on busy days. Fortunately we for a time paid meter with a small walking distance to the restaurant read more

My 10 year old son and went to the Cinemark in Redwood City to watch the BTS Busan concert and of course we had to check out Vesta afterwards! We were sad because when we went on Open Table to make reservations, it told us that the restaurant wasn't taking any reservations until June 16th. My son is on the spectrum and when we found out we couldn't get a reservation, he was upset and cried. However, I thought we could just take a chance and walk over. I'm SO glad we did because the hostess said we didn't need a reservation and sat us immediately! We came at a perfect time because about 5 minutes after we were taken to our table, a whole stampede of Army fans came over! So fun and awesome to see everyone come together and enjoy coming here! The owner came to our table and started talking to us and he was so kind. And of course we talked about BTS coming to eat here and coincidentally, the owner went to the Stanford Day 3 concert like we did. He was so nice, down to earth and super kind to my son. He even brought us a Vesta Card because we were BTS fans. Our waiter was Kilmer and he was also very friendly towards my son and I and didn't mind my son chatting up a storm lol Of course we ordered the Sausage and Honey pizza, but because my son is picky and didn't like the fact that it had a drizzle of honey and Serrano pepper, he ordered a pesto and cheese. Both were delicious and of course we took the leftovers for dinner! For our dessert, we went with the Mexican Chocolate Bread pudding. So...freakin...GOOD! We loved everything and will for sure come back again and try other things on the menu. But for today, it was a total BTS day and of course we had to order what they ate when they were in town. Another bonus was that the restaurant was playing a bunch of BTS music. Couldn't have asked for a better ending to our BTS day read more

Came here with friends to celebrate a birthday and the staff were super accommodating. Had a reservation and they were able to seat us a bit early. The restaurant is much bigger than I thought as they have a hallway leading to an area in the back. From apps to the pies, the food was delicious and good quality. We got the mushroom and onion, carbonara, sausage and honey, and a couple other pizzas. I really like how even though the crust is relatively thin, it's not soggy! This is something's several pizza places I've tried in the past have failed to do. Every bite was full of flavor, and I can't wait to go back to try their other pies! read more

Came here with my husband after my boyfriend Taehyung kept raving about this spot. Can confirm it is worth the hype! We got the grilled sourdough bread as an appetizer, and loved the fact that it was warm and not too crunchy, it was just right. We also got the Calabrian Caesar salad, which was a unique twist on the traditional Caesar salad. I don't think we were biggest fans of it, but not bad. Now for the main star, the sausage honey pizza. 10/10 recommend to everyone. The pizza was fresh, delicious, everything was perfect. Loved how the jalapeño slices were sliced thinly enough to give you a kick but not overwhelming. Definitely the best woodfire pizza we've had. The service itself was decent, nothing to rave about in my opinion. The location was indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating was very cozy. Definitely will be returning here. read more

Came in here with some friends with a reservation for Friday night. The place was packed, so reservation would be better to do. There is seating inside and outside. Inside ambience was cozy with a wood oven (which I personally love). Only complaint I have is they do not have any chicken pizza :( Since I dont eat red meat, I could only have veg options. But, their pizza were so delicious that I didn't miss chicken so much. Our server was so sweet and courteous. The experience automatically becomes even more enjoyable if the staff is nice. Ordered mushroom toast, 3 pizza (thin crust), bread pudding and a bottle of Cab. Mushroom toast was so tasty, just enough creamy and not overly salty. The pizza crust was so good honestly, fresh and char done perfectly in the oven. We got rosemary potato and bacon pizza (minus the bacon and added red onion, LOVED this pizza, the taste was amazing!), pesto and soppressata (minus the meat, loved the pesto flavor, was a bit more cheesy than my liking, but really tasty still), vegan maple mushroom (this is a red sauce base, I do not enjoy sweet on my pizza, but still it was decent for me). For dessert, got the mexican chocolate bread pudding (sooo good!) Def recommend this for pizza in Redwood city! read more
