Dont see this place lasting long. Decided to order pickup after a long day of landscaping. Said my pizza would be ready at 5:58p. I arrived at 5:58p and was greeted by nice Asian guy. Place was absolutely empty and apparently my order was still not ready. I took a seat and at 6:05p was told that it was ready but on the chicken pesto pizza they put red sauce which I did not want. Prolly would have been ok except Im pregnant and was having a strong aversion to tomatoes. Guy offered it and I politely declined, he said ok well have to remake. I said ok and sat back down. He comes out with the wrong pizza and offers it again, showing me pizza. I say no thank you, AGAIN and say I will take it for my husband. He says oh no, Im going to eat it! Ummkkk Finally got food at 6:09. Ate 2 pieces on way to car. Pizza tastes good but not filling with thin crust. Definitely not a place to go when hungry/pregnant! One star for price of food, slow service, and no compensation for mistake on their part.

I had this pizza for the first time last night and I must say Im impressed. The pizza has a great original taste with New York style inspiration. The crust is light and crispy, the sauce is tangy, and the cheese is mozzarella. Cooked in a brick oven for perfect consistency. The restaraunt is family run with kind courteous people and speedy service. The restaurant itself is slick and clean with upstairs and downstairs seating. The only criticism I have is the sign out front is a little plain and a product this memorable needs a more memorable logo. Im a pizza fanatic and I try every pizzeria I can find. This place is in my top 10 for the SF Bay Area. Give this place a shot, the pizza is excellent.

As someone with a lot of food sensitivities, its fantastic to be able to talk to the owners, who great you very warmly, about the ingredients of thier mostly home made ingredients. The buckwheat gluten free crust was delicious...Perfectly crunchy, something hard to accomplish with GF crusts. Loved how the sauce was put on top, after the pizza was cooked. The kids also loved thier pizzas, and easily ate them up. Prices are standard SF pricey, but I dont see that as a problem when your able to actually enjoy the quality and understand what your eating. Well be back for sure, we love supporting local joints...

These guys went all out learning their craft by bringing in an expert from New York. They have a thin, super crispy crust, fresh mozzarella (made daily), a tasty sauce and lots of toppings. They even have Daiya cheese. It would be nice if they had a non-meat protein option (apparently I was the first person to ask) and a whole wheat crust (I forgot to ask about that one).

Love this place. Authentic fire grilled pizza. Totally new clean environment. Pizza is custom and can be made how you like. While a smaller building, they have a second story with seating for a small party. They also have cool desserts. Centrally located on 25th, easy parking, moderately priced.

Working our way through the gelato pops right now - definitely will have more than one favorite here! Staff is always friendly & smiling - makes you want to come back. Decor is cool & we always notice something different as were sitting and enjoying our gelato popsicles...

Have had most of their pizzas. Thin, crispy, light crust is just right. Toppings well matched. Owner is friendly. Three beers on tap but good ones. No doubt better than North Beach, which itself is very good.

Delicious pizza, many locally made ingredients (they make their own sausage and cheese!). Family-run place with great service and delicious New York style pies. Opened only a week ago!

Excellent thin crust pizza, super friendly service, snazzy interior. Better than any other pizza I have had in San Mateo, hands down. Generous toppings. Will definitely return.

Just ate our first pizza from Velo and loved it! Cant wait to go back again. Great to have something local. Hope they stay in business for many many years.

Super friendly service and delicious artesanal pizza. The tomato sauce they use was particularly memorable, so was the Canadian ham.

Andrew Min

All pizza ingredients are fresh and made in house! Even the cheese. Affordable too. Awesome spot to grab some casual food.
