I've been coming to Pizzeria Picco since 2012; it's one of my favorite pizza spots in the Bay and has always been a special spot for me. I've brought my parents, large groups of friends after hiking in Muir Woods, and many dates.
My husband and I came on October 10th and had a wonderful dinner. We arrived around 7:15 or so and added our names to the waitlist, which was about a 30min wait.
After our food came, we were promptly blown away by the execution of our dishes -- the broccoli di ciccio was cooked just right and seasoned perfectly with the right balance of acid, salt, and wok flavor. The crispy calamari was not greasy and nicely battered, and the nuoc cham was a surprise. It wasn't watered down at all, and again, perfectly seasoned with the right amount of sweetness, lime juice, and funky fish sauce. 10/10 Seriously, shout out to the kitchen crew that night. They killed it. Pizzas were amazing as well, we had the Nishiki and Bianchi.
We came back last night and had another wonderful experience, despite some hiccups with the wrong food arriving at our table and a forgotten pizza. Exceptional service made up for it, and we left happy and full. We weren't deterred by the 40min wait time which was closer to 30min, and we ordered similarly as last time: 2 apps, 2 pizzas, and 2 cocktails. We both got the same cocktails as we did before, and I would recommend the shaken cocktails over the slushy ones. I prefer my drinks strong, and the Piña Colada slushy felt just a little watered down both times I had it, although the flavor was good. My husband's mezcal cocktail (Chacalaca?) was on point both times.
TLDR: Come for the killer pizzas, don't sleep on the sides (especially the broccoli di ciccio, crispy calamari, and tomato bisque). Order some cocktails, save room for dessert, and have yourself a wonderful time!
