“ At the time of this writing, there are four places to get a slice of pizza in the Castro, plus two other places that only offer whole pies. I've tried them all (cheese and veggie slices), and since Escape From New York sold their Castro location to another pizza place, Marcello's is my favorite. Not to slag off the other choices, but overall Marcello's slices have the thin crust I like and the tastiest sauce, and lots of specialty combos to choose from (I like the Greek combo veggie special). Not quite *Great* but I have no complaints about the product. One suggestion (and I hope the management reads this). I realize this is 2025 and everyone conducts business on their friggin' phone, but it would be nice to have a COMPLETE menu in the shop either on paper or on the big board behind the counter so when you want to order a whole pie or something that's not on the partial menu that's shown up there on the board, you can do so on the premises without having to look up the menu on your phone. I almost ordered from home for pickup, but even the online menu only shows prices for small size pies, and not prices for medium, large or family size pies. The friendly counter person told me to look up what I wanted on my phone, and even after doing so they had to look up the different prices based on size of pizza. It's way more cost-effective to get a large or family size pizza and share it or have some left over the next day, so I got a large pie and it was big enough to give away three slices to some hungry homeless people on the street and take the rest home for myself. So yeah, please just print up some nice big menus on card stock and laminate them so a customer can walk in and figure out what to order without fiddling with their phone and then having to ask the clerk for more detailed pricing info on the checkout terminal. Love your pizza, thanks a bunch... ”

“ Don't sleep on the pesto mushroom slice here! I unfortunately have a stupid tomato allergy, so I'm always looking for some white or pesto pizza. This slice was so tasty, crispy crust bottom, and perfectly chewy crust. The service was quick and friendly. Again, break out of your pepperoni norm and go for the pesto slice! ”

“ A local Castro staple, this place brings New York-style pizza to SF with speed and flavor. If you're looking for a quick pizza fix or a late-night slice after drinks, Marcello's is the spot. The space is small, with mostly single seats and tables for two. Not ideal for lingering, but perfect if you're on the go. The staff are friendly and efficient, adding to the charm. Pizza: Marcello's serves pizza by the slice, and you'll have your order in about 2 minutes--ideal for when hunger hits fast. I tried the Pepperoni Slice and the Pesto Mushroom Slice. The Pepperoni Slice was solid overall, though I wished for a bit more pepperoni. The standout here was the red sauce, which was incredibly tasty, with just the right balance of flavor in every bite. The Pesto Mushroom Slice was the real star. Any pesto pizza from Marcello's is a must-try, and this one was no exception. The combination of pesto and mushroom was unique and finger-licking good. Pro tip: These slices sell out quickly, so don't miss your chance. Pair your slice with their homemade ranch--it's so good, it'll have you slam dunking every bite. If you love pizza, Marcello's deserves a spot on your list. It's not a hangout spot, but it's perfect for a quick, satisfying slice, especially if you're craving something late at night. Don't sleep on the pesto slices--and definitely grab some ranch to take it to the next level. ”

“ A great place to stop by for a slice of pizza if you're ever craving it and around the area! My friend and I popped in after our soulcycle class and we both got the pesto mushroom pizza and it was delicious! The slice is huge, there is a good amount of pesto sauce as the base and also they heat it up for you when you order so when you eat it, you get the most insane cheese pull. The pizza is just a tad bit greasy for my liking. And it's also a bit expensive for just a slice of pizza ($7.25). I would come again only if I'm really craving it or in the area, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get this. ”

“ The best pizza in the Castro with the hottest pizza guy ever! Yumm Pizza never tasted so good! (Fri/Sat) What's his IG or OF??? ”

“ If I was closer to Marcello's, this would be my go-to pizza place We had the regular thin crust and Sicilian option. Regular was exceptional. Their ranch is delicious, as well. Great people watching, great seating ”

“ Marcello Pizza serves up NY-style pizza with a crust that strikes the perfect balance between tender and crunchy. It's definitely worth ordering again. But the surprise standout is the meatball--truly the real star of the show. Don't overlook this gem when you visit; it might just steal the spotlight from the pizza itself. ”
