- BBetseySan Francisco Bay Area •16 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 17, 2024The food was very good. If you are looking for pizza, there are lots of choices. Not so many non-pizza ones. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drink options. It was noisy but not so noisy that we couldn't have a good conversation. Our only complaint was that our table was in front of the door so every time someone came in, we got hit with cold air.More infoA16 RockridgePrice: Expensive• Italian• Oakland•4.5
