About the Business
One of the early pioneers in San Francisco's popular Mission District neighborhood at Valencia Street and 23rd, Beretta has been a long-time industry favorite since opening in 2008. Now you can get the same great food and cocktails at 661 Divisadero Street in San Francisco's NoPa neighborhood. Thin crust pizzas and contemporary Italian comfort food are available on our extensive outdoor patio.

This review is about the server Melody
I let me start off by saying I should have read the reviews before coming here since it seems they have a pattern of TERRIBLE customer service. I've been to beretta twice and both times I've had subpar encounters. The first time our server didn't even bother to check on us and had a rude attitude whenever she would.
The second time being last night. The food was delicious although our server MELODY only took our order and brought the check. To me this is bare minimum effort. As we were about to leave Melody came up to us and harassed us about her tip. Which last time I checked wasn't mandatory. We decided to tip her in cash as I handed her the cash she stood there and counted it In front of us saying "10 dollars? You want to tip 10%?" When I said yes she rolled her eyes at me, snatched the money and walked away. We didn't feel as if we needed to tip however we did out of courtesy.
As good as the food is here it's not worth the trouble as their servers don't understand the meaning of customer service, it seems being rude is their motif. Unfortunately speaking to the manager proved that nothing is being done about it which is really disappointing.Helpful 3Thanks 4Love this 3Oh no 5Business owner information

My friend recently chose Beretta Valencia to celebrate her birthday on a Saturday evening. She made a reservation at 7:30pm for our group of 9 so when we arrived, we were seated quickly with no issues.
The restaurant has a nice ambiance, seems like a great place to for date night with the dimmed lighting and candles. It's not a huge restaurant but they also have some seating outside.
As a group, we decided to order family style - 3 pizzas, 2 pastas, assorted apps, and a couple of rounds of drinks. Some highlights:
+ calamari: well seasoned, fried to a nice crisp, and delicious with the aioli. Wish we had more so we didn't have to share! ;)
+ cacio e pepe: yum! Flavorful without being toooo cheesy.
+ bartenders pizza: the burrata on there is a treat! Really fresh and creamy. Though, the pizza itself wasn't as spicy as I was hoping it would be.
+ chasing rabbits: a refreshing mix of vodka, lemon, honey, and blood orange. It was so good more than half of us at the table ordered it.
Portion wise, the assortment was enough for us to share as a group to leave satisfied, but not entirely full. Prices were decent. Maybe a little more than I'd like to pay for the amount we received but also understanding that we're in SF.
Service was great, especially when it came to us constantly adding to our order. Our server easily took our many requests without complaint. One note for big groups: they can split the check with 3 cards max.
For parking, we did have to circle the block a few times to find something but eventually we ended up finding street parking in the neighborhood a couple of blocks away. Just prep some time ahead if you plan to drive!Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Beretta really grew on. I dined there first in 2011, nothing was really special. I wouldn't frequent this place unless a friend wanted to "try it out". I gave it another try in 2018 and it was pretty solid. I stop by atleast once a month.
Update: food is still solid. However, there's a pretty rude bartender. White guy (with a bun), who is kinda mean. Not only to customers but to co-workers. So disappointing because this is my neighborhood bar. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt after he splashed water in my face (by accident) when I was sitting at the bar. He didn't even apologize, just said "oh it happens". Should've learned then.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

I remember sitting at the bar here many years ago when it was one of the hottest new restaurants and jam packed with people. So glad it's still here. Pizza is still great. Came for brunch and was really happy with our waitress who was friendly and attentive. The manager was really helpful too in resolving a dining certificate snafu. Knocking off a star bc the young man at the front didn't bother helping me move tables so I could actually squeeze into the bench seating along the front window where our table was. I'm not that big but even I couldn't squeeze in without moving a couple tables around! Anyway, we liked the panzanella and loved the bartenders pizza and those generous dollops of burrata!

I went to beretta after a few years (just moved back to the Bay Area) - and it yet hits the spot! The perfect pizza with a thin crust and good filings. Love it!!! Best pizza in SF for me!

Hi Rabab,
Thank you for your business and taking the time to write us a great review. We love that you love us but are bummed to hear that you thought the waiter was a little to grumpy. This is not how we want to represent Beretta and reviews like yours will help us to be better. We do hope that you will join us again soon. We have a lovely happy hour M-Th. 4-6pm.
The Beretta TeamJul 18, 2021Previous reviewOne of my favourite pizza places in the city! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! The pizza is delicious, wood fired and a pretty good size. The place is tiny, but make sure you make reservations- because it gets pretty crowded. The cocktail selection is good, and I love the vibe too. Our server was a little grumpy - maybe he had a long day, I don't know? It was a little putting off, but the pizza made up for it! I'd go back.

A Pizza Paradise at Beretta Valencia
Tucked away in the vibrant Valencia corridor of San Francisco, Beretta offers a pizza experience that ranges from traditionally delightful to creatively intriguing. On a recent visit with a group of seven, we embarked on a journey through their diverse pizza offerings, ordering four different pies to share.
Let's start with the standout stars:
The Margherita Burrata pizza was a revelation. While purists might balk at the addition of burrata to a classic Margherita, this combination worked beautifully. The crust struck that perfect balance between crisp and chewy, providing an ideal canvas for the luscious burrata. Each bite was a harmonious blend of tangy tomato sauce, creamy cheese, and fragrant basil.
But the true showstopper was the Prosciutto di Parma pizza. This pie elevated the art of pizza-making to new heights. The saltiness of the prosciutto paired exquisitely with the other toppings, creating a flavor profile that was nothing short of incredible. It's the kind of pizza that lingers in your memory long after the meal is over.
The other two pizzas we tried - the Spicy Soppressata and the Bartender's Choice - while solid, didn't quite reach the same heights as their counterparts. The Spicy Soppressata, in particular, featured toppings that didn't resonate with my personal taste preferences, though I acknowledge this is more a matter of individual preference than a reflection on the pizza's quality.
What united all four pizzas was the consistently excellent crust and the well-balanced ratio of sauce to cheese. It's clear that Beretta takes pride in nailing these fundamental elements of great pizza-making.
Beyond the food, the service at Beretta was a highlight of the evening. Our servers were attentive, sweet, and went above and beyond to ensure our large group had a memorable experience. Their warmth and efficiency added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal.
While not every pizza hit the mark for me personally, the highs were high enough to warrant a return visit. Beretta Valencia offers a diverse range of pizzas that cater to both traditional tastes and more adventurous palates. Whether you're a pizza purist or an experimental eater, you're likely to find something to love here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Beretta Valencia in San Francisco, and it was an experience worth sharing! Nestled in the vibrant Valencia corridor, this spot offers a delightful blend of ambiance and culinary excellence.
Food:
We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crispy and accompanied by a tangy dipping sauce that elevated the dish. The tricolor salad was a refreshing mix of greens, topped generously with shaved Parmesan - simple yet delicious.
For our main courses, we indulged in two fantastic pizzas. The Fungi Misti pizza was a mushroom lover's dream, with a savory mix of assorted mushrooms and a delicate balance of cheese and herbs. The Bartender's Pizza was a standout with its robust flavors, featuring spicy sausage, tangy peppers, and creamy dollops of ricotta. Each bite was a burst of flavor!
Drinks:
I couldn't resist ordering a Mimosa, and it was a perfect complement to our meal. Refreshing and not too sweet, it added a celebratory touch to our brunch.
Service:
The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.
Ambiance:
The outdoor seating area was comfortable and perfect for a sunny San Francisco day. The lively atmosphere of Valencia Street added to the charm.
Parking:
The only downside was the parking, which was quite tricky. Be prepared to circle around a bit or consider using a rideshare service.
Overall, Beretta Valencia exceeded my expectations. Whether you're in the mood for a casual brunch or a delicious pizza dinner, this place has you covered. I highly recommend giving it a visit!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Popped on Yelp and saw there was a five minute wait at 8:30pm. Got to Berreta and got seated quickly, ordered the broccolini and the fungus pizza.
Broccolini was cooked to perfection and pizza was just perfect. Definitely recommend for a low key date or a cute simple catchup. Today was a hot day so took advantage of eating Al fresco.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I'm embarrassed to admit I have yet to have a full-fledged meal here even though I still hear good things about the food all these years later. I did, however, stop by for Happy Hour when I noticed they offered a small but enticing menu of bar bites that could easily land on one of their dining tables. At around 6:30PM, I was easily able to find a solitary seat at the bar counter. Among several temptations, I chose the $10 Pizzetta Funghi.
It was topped with mushrooms, taleggio, red onion, and thyme (photo: https://yelp.to/Ufl6DQjNER). The melted cheese was especially tasty contrasted with the toppings and the puffy, crispy crust. I ordered the $14 Rua de Flores, a tantalizing mix of mezcal, toasted pecan orgeat, lime, and ruby port (photo: https://yelp.to/kVQ9WXrEn4). It has whet my appetite for dinner here.
