Viva Italiano Pizzeria

I love this place! The food is delicious and the woman that took my order was so sweet! She told me she was new and I have never seen someone so nice when they are brand new at their job. The viva Italiano pizza was so good and the angel hair pesto was amazing.

The pepperoni pizza was really good. We did a pick up order and the service was fast. Friendly staff, good eats after a long day vacationing.

Got this for a birthday takeout dinner by the Airbnb we stayed by. Food was really good. They forgot part of our order which my husband had to wait an 30 minutes for.

What a great family-owned place to relax and enjoy hearty Italian cooking. It's tiny and probably relies on take- out pizza for most of its business, but the servers are really friendly and patient. We love the spaghetti with meatballs and the chicken parm sandwiches!

Have been living in Pacifica for 3+ years and it was our first visit to this restaurant. We found it friendly, warm, and the food was of high quality and tasty. The Avocado Mango Salad was divine. Perfectly seasoned. We also got two “small” 12 inch pizzas - which were more than enough food for one person each. Took home some leftovers! Will definitely be coming back!

Got linquin/clam for takeout and it was OK, wish there were more clams

Tania was amazing ! She was so helpful and friendly . The food was great ESPECIALLY THE WINGS! Highly recommend.

I had the lasagna it was delicious The server was phenomenal, very friendly and professional

Pizza is amazing. Been coming here for pies since I was a kid. Never really like eating inside, doesn't offer much as far as atmosphere. But the food is worth every penny and always consistent. Just get some pizza and walk towards the sunset a block away.

Absolutely delicious pizza & fantastic service! Viva Italiano Pizza exceeded my expectations the pizza was perfectly baked with a crisp, flavorful crust, rich tomato sauce, and generous toppings of pepperoni, sausage, fresh veggies, and gooey melted cheese. Each bite was full of flavor and fresh ingredients. The service was equally impressive  friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The staff made sure our table was taken care of and everything came out hot and fresh. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a great meal with family. If you’re craving authentic, hearty pizza with top-notch service, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Viva Italiano Pizza to anyone who loves quality pizza and great hospitality!

The wings and fries here are absolutely delicious. Meat slides off the bone type wings. Juicy and well seasoned wings every time. I order the garlic fries and they are always perfectly cooked and seasoning always evenly distributed. Each time I visit the fellas are always friendly. The restaurant itself always clean and pleasant to be in. If you are looking for delicious wings and fries this is the spot.

If you’re looking for the best Italian restaurant in Pacifica, look no further. Not only do they serve authentic and delicious Italian dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, but they also prioritize great customer service.

Great Italian restaurant right next to the ocean! Walked in n was serviced to straight away. Pizza is a winner. Got to try their bruschetta. I also love the meatballs n cheesy garlic bread. Heaven!! The dining area is a little small but comfy. I mostly order to go n sit by the ocean n watch the sunset 🌅

I moved to the bay area couple of months ago and to be honest this is one of the first places which completely deserves a 5-star rating. It's a very cozy italian restaurant on the coastline with very good food options even for a vegetarian like me as well. The waitress was very friendly and quick. I had the Pesto pasta and my friend had the Veggie Lasagna. To end the memorable evening, we ordered the apple pie with ice cream which on its own was a delight.

First time here, glad we did. Audriana was our host and server and shes outstanding! Had the Angel Hair pasta and such a great large portion too. No liquor license, but only a corkage fee of $10.00.

This review is based on the chicken wings beacuse thats all I ever get. This place has my favorite Buffalo wings ever, in my opinion. Even my brother loves them and I just gifted him 2 orders for his birthday. They are crispy but they come with plenty of sauce. They are spicy and tangy and the green onion makes it all come together. I keep coming back for the wings! Soooo good 🏆🐔

I'm Sicilian and come from a family with award winning pizza restaurants. It was good pizza Id eat it again but could use some more sauce more evenly spread and more cheese and less crust. The wings smelt like dirty V but tasted absolutely amazing pretty sure they make their own ranch, it definitely earned them an extra star. As a Sicilian from a restaurant family I'd definitely eat here again and recommend it. The recipes are creative and original and tasty. Wings were exceptional pizza was good. Staff was kind and respectful.

We had a fantastic experience at Viva today! From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch—special thanks to manager Mark for his incredible hospitality. The food came out quickly, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired with a rich, savory sauce that made every bite enjoyable. We also tried their most popular pizza, the Italiano, and it did not disappoint—crispy, flavorful, and truly excellent. If you’re in Pacifica and looking for a place to enjoy great food with even better service, I highly recommend Viva. You won’t be disappointed!

Best pizza place in Pacifica. Everything Ive tried has been delicious Plus the people that work there are super sweet. The lady at the counter gave away her lunch meal to the homeless. No better place to spend money

Great pizzas and food. Been here a few times. I took off a start for the sides. I ordered some fried calamari and it wasn't up to par. But everything else I've had there has been great. Good amounts of cheese, sauce to topping ratio. Dough was cooked thoroughly, as well as the ingredients.

Great food. Absolutely LOVE the ice cream. My husband loved his Veal sandwich the most. Definitely will be going back.

Came here hungry after not having eaten all day with my boo and needless to say we weren’t disappointed. Good food and wine, and service was quick.

Pizza/meal deals very reasonable. Great salads, yummy pizza. Ask for thick crust if you like a thicker pizza. Make sure you grab ranch sauce, and Buffalo sauce for your wings. Homemade, and so delicious, so fresh.

I ordered 2 small pizza and a large pizza and they didn't cut the pizzas at all for an Order I paid over 102 it should have been cut I'm waiting until they open tomorrow to show them and make a formal complaint

In the Pacifica Manor Plaza is a small Italian restaurant that offers a variety of pizzas and homemade Italian pastas. We ordered the steamed clams for a change since we always order calamari. The clams comes with a rich garlic or broth that we just had to dunk our bread in. We ordered the veal Parmesan, which was cheesy and juicy. We also tried the pesto fettuccine with sea scallops. Smothered with pesto sauce. Fabulous. We washed it all down with a few beers because we weren’t in the mood for Vino tonight. I say check it out.

This was our first time trying the place. The food was really good. We had Carbonara and a specialty pizza. The only issue we had was that the pizza was pretty oily on the underside and towards the middle. They knew it was oily too, because when they offered to pack it up for us, they stacked the box with parchment paper under the pizza to catch the oil. Atmosphere was nice, but pretty dark. We could barely see the menu, and not that many tables and seats around, but we felt cramped. Service was JUST ok. Host was nice but only came by to take our order, and then someone else came to give us our food. No one ever checked on us after that. We ran out of water halfway through dinner and never got refilled. What upset us most, was that we were seated right next to a table of older folks who the waitress kept checking on constantly, like every 3-5 minutes. She was probably hoping for a big tip from them. We had to flag someone down for the check after waiting 20 minutes. Towards the end of dinner after we paid, someone from the kitchen brought over a pizza straight to our table thinking it was ours. When we said no, he asked every other table. Makes me think they could easily give your food to the wrong table and you might never get your food. They didn’t deserve our tip, but we tipped anyway. I hope they do better. We plan to do carry out if we ever come back. It’s not worth the lack of service/attentiveness just because we don’t look like we have money like older folks. We definitely felt the discrimination.

Nice Italian eatery with an extensive menu of pasta dishes, pizza, salads, sandwiches, and main entrées. We had the spaghetti with meat sauce (very tasty with hints of garlic and well-sauced), and the eggplant parmigiana (layers of fried breaded eggplant slices and marinara sauce, generously topped with melted cheese), and crispy garlic bread. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We will have to go back and try the delicious looking desserts next time!

Good food and small place. I came from out of town little birthday getaway and alone. It wasn't busy when I got there however there was a 11 person reservation coming because they were talking about it and etc. The reason I am stating this is because I did NOT get much service BEFORE the people even showed up. Otherwise I may have been able to order a freaking dessert or another glass of wine. Storm was more interesting to staff than a paying customer on a Tuesday night. So again it was NOT busy on a Tuesday. Food was tasty and calamari was really good. I ordered Salmon w/Penne Pasta was a bit mushy and never had a Brushetta with the toppings in the middle of the plate to scoop onto the plain pieces of sourdough slices of bread. And no drizzle of olive oil or aged balsamic. I did ask for oil and vinegar and it was brought to the table. Also asking for a different pasta versus spaghetti that may be a upcharge I was advised. Well I preferred Penne with the Salmon. Before anyone gets upset over this review understand it is a good place to eat. In the future if I return I will be hoping that the staff will be more attentive and helpful to enjoy something different. Thank you.

Third time eating pizza is delicious with a perfect crust only 4 stars on service and atmosphere cause I ordered togo but service good and tables all looked cozy and clean ...

Took my very Italian/italy loving aunt & she tried to be nice but our pizza looked thrown together & was very flat & the atmosphere was basically teenagers working. Maybe we didn’t order the right stuff? My salad was blah.

The guy working the counter was nice but our online order somehow never got entered so we waited an additional 15 minutes. We did not get the extra sauce, soda or napkins and utensils which was rough since we are in a hotel. The meatball sub was ok but did not have enough cheese. The curly fries were fine. The fettuccine with chicken and broccoli with white sauce was bland other than garlic and the sauce was very thin.

The spaghetti tastes good. Salad is just so so, no source at all. The service is not good, we asked for bread refill, waited for like 10 mins but still couldn’t get it, there were just two table of customer so not a busy time.

The food was good but it was a bit salty and the pasta was stuck together. The lettuce in my salad felt old and was not fresh. The service was great. The interior design had potential but ended up looking old and dusty.

We ordered the potato pizza and the menu specifically stated “sliced potatoes” on it; however, the pizza we received had random clumps of mashed potatoes on it. The picture shows these varied mounds. The pizza overall was good, minus the discrepancy of the potato serving form. We’ll try something else next time and maybe it’ll work out better.

About a week ago I ordered a pie from here it was delicious! On 05/2 , I went back & ordered a lasagna. I want to start by saying the lasagna was SOOOO GREASY. It was a pan full of grease & cheese. I proceeded to eat it but it was overwhelming & I couldn’t finish it. The next morning ( today as I’m writing this review from my bed with my stomach in all sorts of knots. ) I caught food poisoning! I’ve been up vomiting & diarrhea since 6am! Becareful what you eat from this place.

This place is the worse pizza place I have ever been to. Over 19.00 dollars for a small pizza with extra ham and pepperoni and this is what I got.

A regular local who used to enjoy their pastas until I came in today. I had a feeling it wasn’t the same chef who usually cooks. We ordered the lobster ravioli, shrimp fettuccine and a rib eye. First rib eye came in over cooked when we asked for med rare. All the pastas were super salty, and I basically had to swallow my food. Then they brought back another steak which was medium. Seriously how can a chef not know how to make a medium rare steak even if the steak is thin.

Ordered the Lasagna, can I ask them how they made it if they can make it fresh? The guy said they make it fresh and then they freeze. I told him I don't want frozen lasagna. He checked with the chef and said they just made it yesterday and it wasn't frozen. So I went ahead and ordered it after waiting 20 minutes. I got the lasagna. It was kind of Willie cheese was melted on top ok, but as I started to bite into it, the middle was ice cold so I had brought it to the waiter's attention. He brought it back in the kitchen. And I waited another 10 minutes. He brought it back out and the whole top was saturated with oil and the lasagna was so salty and oily. After a few bites I couldn't eat it. I brought it to his attention and just told him. How much do I owe you so instead of just covering the bill for 3/4 of a lasagna that wasn't eaten. He charged me 10 bucks. I paid the price I walked out. I'll never come here again I do not recommend this place to anyone.

I bought a pizza and some garlic bread. The garlic bread was a problem because when I took a bite there was plastic wrap inside the bread. I called the receptionist named Tania and the customer service was bad. I hate to be that guy but it’s the truth.

Food: Unfortunately, this has absolutely nothing to do with real, Italian pizza. My pizza was inedible and unfortunately had to be disposed of. It was much, much, much (!) too greasy - I could see my reflection in the pizza box from all the grease. The cardboard left a grease stain on the table despite the baking paper. The ham used is not suitable to be heated so high. It simply tasted burnt and was also too greasy. The dough completely lacked salt. It was finally over when I discovered a dead fly on my pizza. Delivery time: The pizza was delivered 1h late. However, the service was very friendly. Conclusion: Please take another look at how Italian pizza is really prepared, if you already advertise it. Grazie mille.
