    If you're a Gen-x'er, this place will bring 80s nostalgia rushing back to you as soon as you walk in. They still take your orders with a note pad, food comes out quickly, in GIGANTIC portions. Their pizza is absolutely loaded with toppings, Greek salad feels like it weighs 3lbs, calamari is easily 3x portion of other restaurants, and the veal marsala is also loaded with fresh vegetables, mushrooms and tender veal. This place may not be "Instagramable" but from the elderly owner still making sure everyone diner is ok in the dining hall, solid food, gigantic portions, encyclopedic menu featuring Greek, Italian dishes, it was one of the best dining experiences I ever had. Mr. Kamenis, you gave me a pen as our group was walking out. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes! Aloha from Hawaii

  • This place is a hidden gem. This Greek restaurant has been around for so long and I appreciate it. The food is great, there is no dish to disappoint you. The name has pizza but there are way more Greek dishes that are excellent. The service is amazing and food comes out fast. The portions are big for the prices. One dish can feed two and the prices are great. I highly recommend this place.

    Rainbow pizza has been a respected institution for as long as I can remember, being a San Mateo native. The portions are generous, the ingredients are good, the service is excellent, Bud, one of the waiters there has been serving me since I was in highschool in the ninetees. The owner has said to me in the past as I picked up a slice during lunch time when I was a landscaper working in Hillsborough, "you working man, you take two slices." You really can't go wrong here. What else can I say?

    Excellent experience at Rainbow Pizza! The portions were generous and definitely worth the price. Everything was fresh and delicious. What really stood out, though, was the outstanding customer service—the staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel appreciated from the moment we walked in. Great food, great portions, and even better service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    This place is special in that the food will far exceed your expectations for what a pizza or pasta can be. It's REALLY good! It's been a while since I visited but from I remember it's important to get your order in ASAP because it does take a solid 20-30 minutes for the food to come out. Dessert was also very good.

    This is our go to place, it is inviting, warm folks that work here and we have been going there for years, love their pizza always generous with their topping, and their Greek food, wow outstanding, And you can also have a dinner plate filled with steak, spaghetti, veggie platter or more, cooked to perfection, aways brought to you with a smile.

    Lamb chops exceeded my expectations. Deliciously prepared with rice vegetables and aI added some sliced tomato on side. It's difficult to find good lamb, this is the BEST!

    Cool spot, great food! Don't let the menu on the window scare you off, when you walk inside and speak to the gentlemen at the counter, you'll know this place is the real deal. The pizzas are very heavy, so size down.

  • Nice family-owned pizza joint, tucked away in the Crystal Springs Village shopping plaza. Incredible large menu that serves Greek/Italian food items such as gyro, pizza, sandwiches, salads, pasta, burgers, and much more. Great for large family gatherings. Fast and friendly service. Large free parking lot, but the parking lot can get super busy during peak meal times.

    I come here for one thing and one thing only, the Gyro. I love their white cucumber sauce that it comes with and the fries. The service is great all the time and you can always can get a seat. I cannot speak for the rest of the food but I am sure it is great as well.

    I have been to this restaurant at least four times now. I HIGHLY recommend the Greek Meze. It's an appetizer that can be shared or you can have it as your own meal. The food is always high quality. This place has a lot of character that other places lack. Definitely recommend that you come check this place out.
