“ Mexican Chocolate Bread Pudding - 3/5 (one time ) Basil burrata pizza- 5/5 (delicious!) ”
“ Was feeling like getting pizza and remembered that I bookmarked this place a while ago. I don't get the chance to go to Redwood City often so I wanted to try this place out. We initially waited for a table but decided to get the pizzas togo after a bit. We got the sausage & honey ($26.5) and the margherita ($21). The pizzas are thin crust, which I prefer since they still have a good chew without being all crust. The margherita sauce tasted really good, not too acidic while still being flavorful. The mozzarella and basil, which they didn't skimp on, paired nicely with the sauce. I did notice that the cheese seemed to slide off a few of the slices. The sausage & honey had a good amount of meat on it and was pretty filling. The serrano pepper added on top is raw and adds a nice heat without lingering. I do wish there was more honey, as it seemed like not all the slices had it. Overall, the pizzas were a good meal. They tasted good but are pricier. The pizzas were ready in less than 10 minutes and we were able to eat shortly after. They offer different red sauce and white sauce pizzas so there are lots of options to choose from! ”
“ This place has a nice ambience with dimmer down lights in the evening. We were able to get a table when we came on a Saturday for an early dinner around 5:30 without a reservation but it filled up really fast. Reservation is definitely recommended. I really liked the mushroom toast. It was just enough flavor and though it was buttery/saucy, the bread underneath didn't get soggy. The pizza flavor is good but the only complaint is that the crust soaked through. So the pizza itself was a little hard to hold since the crust on the bottom broke through. If the crust held better, would rate it a 5. ”
“ This place never disappoints. This was the first time we actually dined it. Nice spacious place with lots of seating. We sat in the back patio, it was nice & warm with all heaters & being covered. Our waiter was great! He was friendly and very helpful with the menu & recommendations. The manager was also super nice & easy to talk to. Food was great as always. We ordered 2 of the specials this time. - Poached pear & Burrata: Not what I expected but really good. The pear had balsamic vinaigrette which made it slightly sweet but also sharp. First bite I wasn't sure but pairing it with the cheese was just perfect and I enjoyed every bite. - pesto, Gouda, & ham pizza: Again not what I expected but the flavors just worked. The first bite is a bit sweet and as you keep chewing it gets better & better. The ham was fantastic. This place has figured out good mix of flavors and having fun with their toppings. Definitely a place to go outside your comfort zone & go-to pizza and try something new & yummy. ”
“ Wonderful service and wood fired pizza. Orders: Our favorite was the sausage and honey pizza! A great balance of spicy jalapeño with the sweetness of the honey. 8/10 We did 1/2 vegetarian to accommodate our friend! We liked the soppressata pizza , the pesto was rich and unique. 7.5/10 The Mexican dessert was incredible!! The cake texture paired with the soaking cream on the bottom of the plate was our favorite. Don't skip this one! 9/10 The mushroom bread app was also creamy and rich too. Skip: The grilled carrots. The dulce de leche ice cream. We really enjoyed the service, the waitress was accommodating and attentive. We did request a table indoors but we're seated in the back patio outdoors after a 30 min wait. Other than that, our waitress gave great recommendations. ”
“ Vesta is always crowded, but it definitely lives up to the hype. It has some patio seating in the front and some in the back. The main dining room is not very big, which also contributes to the fact that there is always a line. The service was top-notch. I liked how the restaurant feels nice but in a low-key, not stuffy way. The food was delicious and authentic. I'd say the pizza is on par with what you'd actually get in Italy. There, I said it. There were four of us, so we ordered two pizzas and two salads. We tried the beet salad and the butter lettuce salad. Both were generously portioned, well-flavored, and fresh. The pizzas were probably a bit too large for one person (unless you're starving), but might be a bit small for two. So I'd recommend ordering small plates or salads to start. We tried the special of the night, which was a white pizza with pistachio pesto, smoked ham, ricotta salata, goat gouda, and a drizzle of Calabrian chili honey. It was so so good. We also tried the Soppressata, a red pizza with tomato sauce, smoked mozzarella, spinach, and soppressata. It was also delicious. The crust was slightly puffy, with a crisp exterior and chewy interior. The toppings were fresh and well-balanced. Highly recommend! ”
“ Came here for a girls night out and it was such a lovely choice! We made reservations and they seated us at a cozy booth. Our waitress introduced the specials and had great recommendations which included the specials. What we ordered: -Grilled Pears and Burrata: beautiful blend of sweet fruit and creamy cheese, highlight of the meal -Brussel Sprouts: well seasoned -Sausage & Honey Pizza: sweet and salty, very flavorful -Pesto & Soppressata Pizza: pistachio pesto went so well with the saltiness of the salami -Margherita Pizza w Arugula added: great classic choice with some veggies All the pizzas were very thin and had a nice airy crust to it. They were unique toppings that complemented each other well. I will definitely be returning! ”
“ This is pretty much one of my go-to pizza places. The sausage & honey is my all time fav. I used to pretty much order this every time. But now I'll try out the specials the waiter/waitress provide just so I'm not eating the same thing all the time. Although sometimes they have so many items on their list, I get lost. Haha. In terms of salads, we also really enjoy the kale salad that they have! So, do try that out if you want something light. The place will get pretty crowded during peak hours though. So, you'll very likely have to wait for seats. But the good thing is you can take a stroll up and down the street while you wait to be called. This might be pretty random but the bathroom location is @ a weird spot. It is like in this very tiny corridor where I feel like I'm blocking the servers while waiting in line for it. And if someone is having super big business then this line can get long. Then it can really feel awkward in blocking some traffic flow. But the staff is kind and understanding about why you are stuck there so no worries. Usually the food will come pretty fast but during the thanksgiving weekend it looked like they were swamped with take out orders. So, it took some time for the pizza to arrive. But I guess that is fine. We can just chat while we wait. :) With one pizza and salad that will set you back around $25 a person. So it is on the pricier end of the spectrum. But I do think it's worth it! You can definitely count on me coming back from time to time if my budget allows. Like I said, the staff is very kind and courteous. This is another reason I don't mind coming here. :) ”
“ What an incredible meal at Vesta! Arrived at 6pm on a Saturday night, told it was a 20 min wait; we walked around downtown and came back and our table was pretty much ready (about 20mins after putting our names down on the waitlist). Restaurant was bustling, inside and outside seating. We sat outside, plenty of heaters to keep us toasty, definitely wasn't cold sitting outside. We had the beet salad which was delicious. We also had the Brussel sprouts which was so so good. It's so good I want to try make it at home. We also tried the margarita pizza with arugula, which was just so light and tasty. Great quality ingredients and flavors all around. Can't wait to come back and try their most popular pizza, the sausage and honey!! ”
