The bf and I came here for a Friday dinner and were pleasantly surprised! We got here around 5:45pm and didn't need a reservation, but you would definitely need one for peak dinner time. It's not a huge space, a small upstairs and a tight downstairs seating area. The outdoor seating adds on a good amount of tables too, but I'd only want to sit out there in nice weather. Service was friendly and attentive, waters were always filled and our server came multiple times to check on us. We started with the brussels sprouts and the caesar salad, both of which caught us off guard with how good they were. The brussels sprouts were soooo charred and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was literally my ideal brussels sprout. It was seasoned so well and the spicy aioli it came with added a nice bite to it. The caesar salad was simple yet the high quality ingredients shone through. The lettuce was crisp and cold, the dressing was generous, and the bits of cheese and croutons added nice flavor and texture. We already decided we would come back after we had the apps! We split the veggie option of the potato and pesto pizza, which was interesting, but not my favorite. I didn't think the potato added anything to the pizza, honestly the texture and flavor threw me off. The pesto was alright, needed more lemon juice, garlic, and salt to bring out its flavor. I did like the texture of the crust, it had a great chew and airy texture. Their chili oil did improve the flavor of the pizza, so we did doctor it into something we enjoyed. I think if we ordered a pizza with better toppings, it would have been an easy 5 stars. I'll be back to check out the happy hour from 4:30-5:30pm and to try more pizzas out :)

I absolutely LOVE pinsa Rossa. Probably one of my favorite restaurants in SF, definitely my favorite Italian place and it has such a charming and subtle atmosphere--perfect for date night! They always seat me quickly and their staff is extremely attentive. I love that they have vegan cheese options for me and the funghi pizza with vegan cheese is delectable. Their spritz drink as well is strong and delicious when paired with the little gem salad. I come back here at least once a month.

spring break yompz!! came here to see if the hype was valid & the restaurant was soo adorable and cozy. emily, our server/host, was extremely kind & helpful! the happy hour is always a plus, i told her to surprise me with any 2 dishes, and she quickly ordered us the meatball dish & the small pizza dish. not sure what it's called bc the happy hour menu is different, but i took pictures! we went during a weekday (thursday) & was no wait at all for us. overrall, rly yummy & would come back again to try their full menu/other dishes!

Cute little Italian restaurant on Fillmore. Recommend going in for Happy Hour (ends at 5:30 pm!) The Arancini and pizza on the happy hour menu is good to share for 2 people. Staff is attentive and friendly. Someone came in multiple times to fill our water glasses. No wait time for us but we came in early ! Street parking available

Came here for happy hour and it was lovely! The inside is so cute and sitting by the window was so much fun. Their personal sized pizzas are a great price and a perfect size! The Brussels sprouts were to die for! Cooked to perfection. We also had the potato crochettas which were good but had an interesting texture. Would not recommend if you're not really a texture person. The staff was also super nice, friendly, and very attentive. Will 100% be coming back here.

Definitely one of my favorite pizza places in the bay. Perfectly baked, fluffy chewy dough(innovative mixed with rice, and high in protein yeah). Tasty sauce, fresh well blacked toppings. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and crunchy. Fast and friend service. The interior is spacious with great lightenings and chic design. Would love to comeback and recommend others to give it a try if you haven't already. With the open weekdays during lunch hours though.

Went for Sunday night dinner and had the Fancy Margherita Pizza -so good! Trust me, add the extra burrata--you won't regret it. The place is small and cozy, with super attentive staff. It's not the spot for a sexy date night, but it's perfect for a relaxed dinner with family or friends. My friend and I shared the Caesar salad and pizza, both delicious, and the wine selection was fabulous. Definitely a great go-to!

Pinsa Rossa was so good! We came here on a whim on a weekend night and it was such a good choice. There's a plethora of Italian restaurants nearby, but I have to say that this place definitely stands out. Food: We ended up getting the truffle cheeks pizza, fancy margherita, and crispy Brussels sprouts. They were all so good, so flavorful, and had unique flavors. The crispy Brussels sprouts really shocked me considering I didn't realize that it was going to be that flavorful. I would 100% come again just for the Brussels sprouts. The truffle cheeks obviously had a strong taste of truffle, and it got too much for me at times. But because we had the marg pizza, the contrast of flavors and the freshness of the margherita to the richness of the truffle cheeks made for a good combo. Service: very nice servers. The restaurant is a bit small so it's a little easier to flag someone down. It did take a while for them to give us the check though. They also have a happy hour/lunch special which makes it a few dollars cheaper, so I'll forsure have to check it out then. Highly recommend! 4.7/5.

Stopped by Pinsa Rossa for happy hour and I was so impressed! They offer a great selection of $9 apps and pinsas. We got the chicken parm and mushroom pinsa both of which were good portion sizes and very flavorful. The ambiance is also very cozy and service was quick and efficient. Definitely will return to try their full menu!
