Pink Onion

$60 for 1 app, 1 pasta, 1 pizza, and 1 dessert. Not to mention, a free bottle of wine on Wednesday. You bet this is going to be my new favorite date spot whenever I'm able to snag a reservation.

I don't like waiting so I typically try to make reservations, their Wednesday slots are usually taken up months in advance (just a heads up!) - I made one a few months back for June and was looking forward to this date night. It is a small shop but the staff is friendly and quick especially on Wednesdays when it's really packed.

Came here once with my mom who's vegetarian and loves truffle. We ordered the Pasta Tartufo and Magic Mushroom pizza. The staff was so accommodating and was able to separate the meat from the pizza so I could eat it on the side.

Mussels - Really flavorful. The sauce the mussel was in was used to dip the bread that was offered in the beginning.

Pasta Tartufo - Had actual truffles on top, the truffle was not overpowering/strong and the pasta was al dente.

Magic Mushroom pizza - once again, could be biased because it is truffle but it is one of my favorites. Tried a few other pizzas from the other times I've visited and it didn't hit my tastebuds as great as the Magic Mushroom.

Delicious food with a great ambiance! Got the 55$ deal and everything was cooked perfectly, wine was great. A little crowded and loud, as to be expected, but the music was bumpin. Service was quick and attentive.

I can't rave about this place enough! Everything is delicious here -- you really can't go wrong. I highly recommend the truffle pasta (this is coming from a person who doesn't usually like mushrooms) and basque cheesecake.

If you sit inside, the music is really loud but this place is such a vibe especially close to closing.

This is my second time at Pink Onion and second time in a row that it's been amazing! I love the food, the vibe, and the staff here! Everyone is so kind and it genuinely feels like they love working here!

The truffle pasta is to die for! It's a must try.

The guido had a good amount of meat and was tasty

Caesar salad was great! Dressing was tasty and the parmesan cheese was yummy.

10/10

Really good pizza spot in sf!

Came for dinner after a work event and was seated right away around 845pm. They have a little outdoor seating which we made use of as our party of 7 :).

What I really like about Pink Onion is their crust. I feel like what makes a good pizza is the crust and they've got theirs down!

Apparently, their combo Wednesdays went viral on TikTok -- you can get a pizza w/ a free bottle of wine (forgot the price but it was a really good deal). So one of the employees told us that for Wednesdays, they're already booked out through November fyi! Would make resys now if you want to snag that deal.

They have a lot of pizza options, 18-19 on th menu Not a ton of parking, most people were getting dropped off.

Friendly staff, good vibes, would come back.

Truly the farthest $60 can get you. Especially if you come eat in / order delivery or to go. I mean it!

So what do you get for $60 that truly feeds 3 people or two meals for 2 people? The ultimate combo dinner where you get one app, one pizza, one pasta, one dessert, and on wednesdays, a bottle of wine.

They do NOT take reservations on Wednesdays so if you want to eat in, go early, put your name down, go make a trip to Total Wine, Rainbow Grocery, or Standard Deviant. Wait is going to be 1hr+ for dinner so just be ready. The servers and team have so much to manage between eat-in and to-go orders and it's always packed so kudos to the team!

Appetizer - if you like seafood, go for the steamed mussels

Pizza - I think any pizza is terrific so won't make specific recs here

Pasta - my fav is the Il Pesto Di Pistacchio

Dessert - both the cheesecake and the tiramisu are excellent choices

Wine - rose all day! I think Pink Onion curates a great selection of wine so you'll be good with red, white, or rose

Beer - they have Fieldwork (and others) on tap so lots of choices

I got the vodka rigatoni which was pretty good, and a HUGE portion so it was probably meant to be shared! the ambiance of the place was like a very loud sports bar, so if you're not looking for that I'd recommend taking it to go

Came at the perfect time around 5pm, and they took us in without a reservation. Guess we got lucky because this place is pretty popular.

We were searching for truffle oil pasta and this place served the most delicious truffle oil pasta! Cravings were definitely satisfied! Also I really enjoyed their tiramisu dessert!

Place was small but definitely worth the wait!

Came in for the Wednesday special - $60 combo (app, pasta, pizza, and dessert) + free bottle of wine!

Partner managed to score a 7:30pm reservation earlier in the morning and, despite arriving 20 minutes late, still had an open table for us! Very grateful to not have to had wait.

Service was quick and to the point. We ordered the parma e burrata plate, bolognese pasta, and magic mushroom pizza to share along with a bottle of rosé and basque cheesecake for dessert. Food wise, the combo meal is definitely a bang for your buck, even between two people. However, I don't think I would go out of my way to return if the $60 Wednesday combo didn't exist. Food was okay - nothing special but also not terrible either.

The place itself is small with indoor seating along a back wall squeezed against bar seating. Just a heads up, it gets very loud inside. Not sure if it was that crowd today, but I figure a packed restaurant with a deal including a free bottle of wine would result in that.

Overall, great deal with okay food. A spot to come for a cheap shareable dinner with company.

A staple of the neighborhood.. honestly the only restaurant I don't mind walking to everyday.

The Good:
- pink onion got me loving italian food.... this is huge praise... i didn't really like pastas or burrata or anything italian before but so many of my friends have dragged me here that now i drag my friends! I'll look forward to planning a foodie trip to italy now...
- value-- i don't have to repeat their amazing combo deal or their crazy Wednesday Wine deal
- recs: VEGETAARIAN BURRATTA, vodka rigatoni, mussels @___@


The Meh:
- sometimes the staff feels a little clique-y, like say i come in and have a reservation. I wave to the 3-4 people behind the bar and they take a while to acknowledge the front door and when they do, they're like "oh.. yeah you can sit there"
- seating is a little tight (i'm a 5'2 azn girl), esp to adjacent tables but i guess that's ok.. just gotta be a little cozy

Had a chance to do date night with the hubby and this was a really good spot for Italian food. Although service was really slow that day (we definitely need more servers here), I would say the food was great. We ordered the combo for $60 and this comes with an appetizer, pizza, pasta & dessert. We ended up ordering:

* Parm e burrata plate - this came with so much which was great - there was prosciutto, burrata, candied poached pear, so many berries, raisins and arugula. I loved every bite and it was so refreshing!

* For the Pizza we got the Gotham, which was really good. This had sausage, ricotta, pepperoni and hot honey. This was really yummy and the pizza was well made

* Pasta Tartufo - if you are into truffle, this is the one for you! I loved it and it was so creamy and delicious. It went really well with the pizza

* Tiramisu - this was really yummy and creamy. The hubs and I loved this a lot as well!

Overall, really good experience, just need to work on the service big time.
