Been a solid customer of this place for approximately 5 years. Prices have been good, quality has been 'eh,' and delivery time has frequently been an issue. However, tonight's experience has been the worst, and will be my last.
Ordered two pasta dishes and one order of mozzarella sticks at 9:17pm on a Monday night. Delivery estimate was between 45-60 minutes, and Pizza Pino is 2.8 miles from my house.
10:17 pm...still no delivery. It's okay, maybe it's a busy night, or the driver is new. We'll wait a few more minutes.
10:35 pm.... still nothing, kinda frustrated. Peering out the window in a manic hungry state every 15 seconds.
11:08 pm.... delivery guys calls, says, "Pizza Pino delivery. I'm outside."
Response: "Okay, come up to the door."
You're over an hour late, Dude, I'm not gonna come out and get the food from you at 11:10 at night.
Guy handed me the food, and there was absolutely no heat coming from it. Seemed completely oblivious that he was late. The boyfriend reamed him a bit for the lousy service, and we decided that we weren't going to pay for a cold, late meal. returned the food to the delivery guy, and made it clear that we would no longer be patrons of Pizza Pino.
So, thanks guys...your food was cheap - mediocre at best - and we'll never be back.
Regards,
Still Hungry
P.S. If I had ordered by smoke signal and had it delivered via Pony Express...it still would have arrived faster than you.

I ordered my pizza at 11am. It was supposed to be delivered by 12pm. I didn't get it until 1:40pm. Dealing with eat24hours awesome customer service, they called the restaurant repeatedly, getting different stories about misdelivery, a new one being made and rushed over, then the driver being stopped by the police, etc. Pretty crazy. The pizza arrived COLD (not even just not hot, but COLD). I'm sure it was the original pizza. The driver had the nerve to ask me for a tip after all that, PLUS giving me the wrong kind of soda. To top it all off, the pizza was horrible. Probably less than a pound for a large pizza, basically a millimeter of toppings on half of a cracker. Stay away.

Horrible takes over a hour to deliver me a lagsana. It taste horrible and smells like the stuff inside gone bad. The bread got to my house sooo cold, its soggy.

You guys TOTALLY rock! Can't believe how fast the food was! You really came through!
Posted by Brandon on 12/08/2011
Really happy with the food, delivered hot, quickly, and was very tasty. Totally recommend them for anyone who wants a good pizza (and the rest of the menu is great, too).

LOVE you guys! Totally my favorite! I go out of my way for your food! Keep up the good work!

I ordered a thick crust pizza and what I recieved was a pizza that was flatter than a dime, with the cheese stuffed in the head of the crust. There is a big difference from stuffed crust to thick pan pizza. I also asked for sausage and pepperoni, no pepperoni and very little sausage. Will not order from this place ever again.

I was a loyal Pizza Pino customer for... I honestly don't know how many months. I had never had a problem with them. Until one night my roommate had to have his food sent back three times. And even after all of that, they had forgotten his two liter of soda. I thought he was crazy and continued ordering from them. Until suddenly, I started to have the same terrible service. I thought maybe it was because it was the weekend, but even on week nights it seems as though they have no interest in simply DOING THEIR JOB.

THE DELIVERY GUY WAS A JERK. THE PIZZA HAD A KITCHEN RAG SMELL TO IT NO JOKE. I THOUGHT I WAS JUST IN MY MIND, THEN I GOT REALLY NAUSEATED. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Posted by Chrisc on 08/26/2011
total bullshit. hour past deliver estimation and some of the worst pizza I've had in the city.
Posted by Elissa on 08/08/2011
Decent food. Great delivery time, though.
Posted by Katherine on 05/13/2011
Pesto Pizza with broccoli and a Coke... great price. Left green oil all over my white plates, and dripped everywhere... Broccoli on the pizza is super woody, tough, and pretty inedible... What do you expect though from cheap pizza. Crust is great, and the taste is right. Not the best pizza in the city, by far. But in a pinch it works

They made a mistake with my order. Didn't fix it when I called directly. I had to contact eat24hrs.com to get it resolved. The four cheese lasagna was DELICIOUS though.
Posted by Zain on 03/12/2011
I have to give these guys GENERALLY a GREAT. I order 2-3 times a week (for several months!) and only occasionally has something been wrong (and they FIX it). The pizza is really good as is the delicious lentil soup which appears often as the soup of the day. The salads are not fancy but they are always crisp and fresh. 99% of the time the hot stuff arrives hot and the cold stuff cold. I am in hotel here a lot and sometimes I just want simple, healthy soup and salad without going out - this fits the bill!

The pizza is good, but the service has been less than stellar. I waited over 90 minutes for my order, when it arrived it was cold. Also, this was the second time that they have not delivered the soda that I ordered AND PAID FOR with my order. The driver promised to return with it, but never showed up. While the pie is good, I am going to be finding a new place to order from.
Posted by Darren on 01/17/2011
Never gonna order pizza from pino pizza again. takes 2 hour for the pizza to be delivered ,made my order wrong, and never delivered my coke to me.
Posted by Jason on 12/13/2010
Good, if you like cold pizza.
Posted by Daniel on 10/24/2010
pizza crust burnt! the first for me. after waiting 2 and a half hours! i admit i didn't notice the 2 hour wait time. but another 30 mins?! quality of super thin soggy pizza sucked. i have never been so inclined to write a review. just sorry it had to be a bad one.
Posted by Al on 10/10/2010
They have great pizza every time I order. They are friendly also.
Posted by Katie on 10/01/2010
Yes...........................................
Posted by Ryan on 08/28/2010
Very good dish (Lasagna). Just a problem, the driver didn't have change ..
Posted by Mathieu on 08/01/2010
I am about 2 hours and 45 mins after ordering now and am still waiting for my correct order to be delivered, definatly not worth it as the food I have tried is barely average at best.
Posted by Scott on 07/26/2010
yay it was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Thomas on 07/15/2010
pizza undercooked, pizza soup, everything slid off the pizza into the corner of the pizza box.
Posted by Mitchell on 05/16/2010
Perfectly cooked! Thanks!
Posted by Douglas on 02/28/2010
The shit is great. Love it to death.
Posted by Reno on 02/17/2010
i love pizza pinos i get them like every week
Posted by Veronica on 10/13/2009
fast delivery and nice people. Taste is pretty decent but crust is always a little underbaked.
Posted by Trista on 08/02/2009
They sent the wrong salad dressing but not too bad otherwise.
Posted by Joan on 04/24/2009
Service was great. So is the food.
Posted by Daniela on 03/11/2009
Terrible experience. Do not order from this place. It took 2.5 hours for the meal to arrive, they forgot my soda and salad. The driver said he would return with it and never showed up. I called to complain and counter guy told me they were busy and there would be no refund. To top it off the food was lasagna was burnt and tasted of plastic. Do not order from this place.
Posted by Kenneth on 03/04/2009
I ordered food at 7.30pm and I'm still waiting for it. (it's now 10.07pm)
and the restaurant is not even that far away from my place...good

Great Pizza and fast delivery.
Posted by Heinz on 02/12/2009
my tortellini with pesto tasted like soap. very disappointing
Posted by Adrienne on 01/31/2009
Bland pizza and they got my order wrong! Delivered within quoted time.
Posted by Brian on 01/27/2009
2 hours to get my order. chicken panini was sliced lunch meat and they didnt seem to care that i had to wait so long
Posted by Chris on 01/23/2009
Marina at Night is delicious, everything else I've had there is just okay. One time I called in my order, went there 20 minutes later to pick up and they said they never got the order which I most certainly had called in. In addition, they offered no compensation after I had proved I'd called them earlier.
Posted by Megan on 12/12/2008
It was good. A little on the plain side, but certainly got your money's worth. A lot of food for a good price.
Posted by Rebecca on 08/25/2008
Good pizza - fast delivery!
Posted by Fred on 07/29/2008
1) It took over 1.5 hours for delivery, after calling (very nicely asked when it might be coming...he said 10 minutes and I waited an additional 25. i made that call after waiting for an hour)
2) They gave me the wrong kind of soda, and i told the driver it was wrong. he said (looking at the receipt), "it says sprite." and that was it. no sorry or attempt to get a different one or explanation or anything. not a big deal, but annoying.
3) food was totally cold. it was a very simple order with no substitutions.
"hates it."
so much for this place. i'll be contacting yelp and telling my friend in the advertising dept to yank this from the list.

Not quite New York style, but their thin-crust pizza is among the best I've had in SF.
Posted by Derek on 05/11/2008
This was great, the first pizza on their specialty list is awesome. It took less than an hour to get here. Greek salad was pretty good. Overall, for the price and the taste, it was excellent!!! (And, I'm pretty picky for sure!!!)
Posted by Michele on 04/24/2008
Took over an hour to receive food and when I did, they didn't deliver entire meal and driver never returned with rest of it like he said he would.
Posted by Brian on 04/02/2008
they were so polite and quick. yummy vegan accomodation.
Posted by Adam on 03/14/2008
The pizza is wonderful!
Posted by Nicole on 02/28/2008
it took an hour, but it was delicious.
Posted by Adam on 01/28/2008
Mmmmm! The portions are huge and the price is just right. It took a little longer than expected and the fries weren't very hot, but the food was very tasty so all in all, it was worth the wait.
Posted by Kerra on 01/24/2008
Yummy food, inexpensive and fast service. I would like for the raviolis to not be so oily though.
Posted by Joan on 01/10/2008
tHE BEST DURING THE WEEKDAY LUNCH!
Posted by Paul on 12/30/2007
Highly recomend weekdays for lunch.The day shift cook is great!!! Older Woman that takes over for him realy skimps out on the meats in the sub. I got a bread sandwich from her twice and when i dont see the regular guy in the window i dont order.
Posted by Paul on 12/30/2007
Food is WAY above average.
Posted by Annette on 10/11/2007
Pizza Pino prepared my order just the way I asked online. I was nervous that the chicken wings and fries weren't going to be extra crispy,but they were. The Lasanga was pretty good, a little light on the meat sauce though. The free salad was a perfect addition to the meal,we got garlic bread sticks that I didn't expect, and they were goood....
