History

Established in 2010.

History behind Fresco…

The idea that Fresco was built on was simple; great pizza with fresh ingredients. While spending time in Europe owner Gani found himself indulging in Mediterranean style pizza that seemed to appear instantly before him; the secret was adding middle eastern food to the menu.; and thus Fresco was created.

Don’t bother eating here. I didn’t check Unilocal before ordering a hummus platter, but the low food score doesn’t really surprise me. Soggy food that didn’t seem fresh. I would recommend the flying falafel, there food is much fresher!

Man at the register did not honor my 15% off total purchase for checking in on Unilocal and said I had to leave a review to receive the discount. Pizza was good though, so I’ll give it a 2

Ordered for delivery through EAT24 and food or delivery service was not good. Definitely not worth the $. Costco pizza tastes better. Greek salad was horrible. They charge $ 4 for a small container with lettuce and olives. Where’s the tomatoes? Nothing Greek about that salad. Pizza was cold when we got it. Had to microwave it before eating. The combo kabab was cold as well. When we ordered it said delivery between 45 – 60 min. After 70 minutes I contacted the delivery service and they said restaurant was busy and will take another 15minutes. But within 5 minutes the food arrived and we wished we ordered dominos instead. The 2 stars are for the Oreos cake, which could be store bought?

DEElish late night eats! We ordered the Fesco pizza and chicken kebab that came with pita, a salad, rice and a ‘must order xtra next time’ hot sauce. Very friendly and efficient guy on the phone taking the order, with an equally fast and lovely delivery person arriving with our tasty morsels!

I love this place. It’s one of my favorite late night spots to get dinner from, and the delivery guys are always super friendly, and thoughtful! The food is solid comfort food. Sure, it isn’t Michelin Star, or anything, but for the price, the food is delicious, filling, and worth both the cost and the wait.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: I love this place. They’ll continue to be one of my favorite places to come crawling to looooong after dark, looking for someone to feed me.

Mediocre food, but the service is horrible. I order my pizza slices and pay, nobody tells me they’re not ready. No big deal, I wait. 15 mins later, I ask where my food is and remark I’ve been waiting 15 mins. One of the guys working the line comes back with this gem «why don’t you wait 20. All you do is talk talk talk». Owner proceeds to tell me the guy was «kidding with you «.
I’m not coming back.

When all of the other pizza joints are closed at 11pm, this place stays open. It’s the least fancy place that I’ve ever been to. You say «I want this and I want that» and then pay the guy less than 10 bucks and take your pizza and go back to your hotel room and watch Law and Order SVU, trolling Tinder, in an oversized t shirt and underwear, until you drift off into a gluten coma.

The latter part of my Thursdays involve heading to the airport from the Midwestern city I work in and catching a flight, running to make my connection at SLC, MSP, LAX or ATL and getting on a Taxi from SFO heading up to the city.
As I contemplate the week I had, I place delivery for dinner and Fresco happen to be my choice half the time. I end up ordering the Shawarma Plate, Mixed Grill and the hot wings.
The food arrives immediately after I get home and unpack. It arrives hot, tasty and fragrant. And 30 minutes later, I forgot I spent my entire week in Southern Ohio. Thank you, Fresco.
I will one day go to the restaurant to dine in, I have never been there.

This is a good place if you’re drunk at 2am. Thats their main clientele. Drunk bitches who are hoongry as sh*t after getting their skank on in the bars in the area. Pizza was old and dry, not edible.

I love their pizza. It is by far the best pizza I have tried in San Francisco and they have FREE delivery. Great customer service too.

Pretty good pizza but service is mediocre. I hate that they don’t take American Express and you need a $ 5 minimum. Pesto chicken pizza is good.

The food wasn’t bad at all. My favorite part of the meal was the rice and salad though. The chicken was just a tad dry but the rice was really flavorful. I would come back and try the pizza and the kebabs next time. Not very expensive either.

THEY SPIT IN YOUR FOOD!!!
Terrible delivery service. Delivery man argued saying he refuses to park and come upstairs when i have a 101 temp flu. I live in a high rise apartment with plenty of parking in the front mind you.
He proceded to spit in my hummus and try to lecture me when he came to my doorstep.
Food is meh, delivery sucks.

I ordered pizza from them, which was advertised as coming with onion rings and a soda. When I received it, no onion rings were provided. Gave them a call to ask about it, and they basically told me «sorry, tough shit, no onion rings» and hung up on me.
Did not appreciate their careless handling of the situation and will not be ordering here again.

Someday, when I am lazy, hungry, and home, I order from them on eat24.
The delivery is quick and you get decent amount of food for cheap $$$.
The food is great. I Ordered burgers and shawarma from them and I would go for nothing else cause this is… AMAZING!
I will order again from them and recommend it to a friend.

This place has it all: burgers, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, salads, and my favorite, the shawerma plate. Jamal is super friendly and makes great menu recommendations. The service is great, and they’re open until 3 a.m., which is perfect after a late night out. Polk Street hangouts are not complete without a visit to Fresco. Best late night food around, hands down!!!

Live a little! Go past the pizzas people and get the shawermas and the kebab plates! They are to die for.
We ordered the lamb Shish kebab plate to start with and omg party in my mouth. The rice fragrant and fluffy, warm soft bread, killer hummus and the lamb, OMG the lamb!
Of course, the bf and I needed more after that taste of the goods and got a combo shewarma. It was HUGE and super yummy. The hot sauce just perfect, the meat so moist and well spiced and oh so taaasstteyyy!
I wish I stayed in SF just to visit this place when I crave Persian food. The staff is very courteous and helpful.
Come flocking after that pub crawl on Polk st at midnight folks. It won’t disappoint.
Update: Don’t leave without some pistachio baklava! The owner gave us some complementary (free tastes sweeter, I know, but.) and it was pure joy. Not too sweet, the pastry was crispy yet soft and very flavorful. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

The pizza here is a generous 2 stars, but the friendliness of the staff and the late-​night hours definitely bump it up a star.
This place gets major props for being open every night on Polk until 3am. 3AM!!! All I ordered here was the Hawaiian and the combo pizza around 11pm on a Sunday night. We were actually just passing by, but a couple workers were sitting outside and assured us that their food was delicious. In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have so readily believed two people who obviously worked there, but my hunger at the time was so overwhelming that we ended up going inside.
You can’t go too wrong with a pizza with generic toppings, but it’s usually not great, either. The pizza was similar to Little Caesars, which is on the lower tier of pizzas for me. I might be back, but not for the quality of food — only for the convenience of having something to drunkenly scarf down in the wee hours of the night.
If you want a larger selection of pizza and you don’t mind walking a bit, you might want to stop by Mustafio’s (at Polk & Post, a few blocks down). They serve their slices hotter and yummier — but they’re only open to 2am instead of 3.
