Nelci’s Kitchen is the realization of a lifelong dream for Chef Nelci Vieira. Her journey began in the kitchens of Minas Gerais, a region celebrated as the soulful heart of Brazilian home cooking. For Belmont residents who crave authentic, handmade flavors—whether it’s a Friday night pizza after a long commute up 101, or a calzone delivery for a family get-together in the Cipriani neighborhood—we’re here for you.
Our purpose is to bring the vibrant, welcoming spirit
of Brazil to California by sharing authentic homemade
food, grilling, artisanal pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts.
—Nelci Vieira, Chef de Cuisine

At Nelci’s Kitchen, we honor the slow-cooked traditions of our grandmothers. From the fire of the grill to our hand-stretched, slow-fermented dough, everything is made to be passed around and enjoyed together. For Belmont families, that means a pizza night that actually feels like a night off. We’ve seen it: you’re juggling school pickups at Nesbit Elementary, then a soccer game at Barrett Community Center, and suddenly it’s 7pm. Dinner? We’ve got you. Our pizzas, pastas, and wings travel well—whether you’re picking up or getting delivery in Belmont’s hilly streets. And yes, we do calzones that’ll remind you of a cozy kitchen in Minas Gerais, right here in San Mateo County.

The Soul of Minas, The Heart of Belmont
From our family kitchen to your table in Belmont, every dish is a celebration of the traditions that turn guests into family. We’re just a short hop from the Crossroads Shopping Center, and we know the Belmont crowd loves real, honest food. Whether you’re coming off Ralston Avenue after a long day or dropping by from Carlmont Village, we’ve got something warm waiting. It’s not just pizza. It’s a connection to the flavors that make people feel at home — and we’ve been serving that feeling to Belmont families for years. Honestly, we see it all the time: a dad walks in after a tough week, orders our Brazilian steak plate, and suddenly he’s smiling. That’s what keeps us going.
Authentic Brazilian Grilled Meats in Belmont
Are you up for a smoky, salty masterpiece that tastes like a Sunday afternoon in Brazil? Right here in Belmont, we’re bringing that churrasco spirit straight to your plate. Think tender picanha, seasoned just right, with a side of farofa that’ll transport you. We hear this a lot: “I’ve never had Brazilian food before.” And then they try it near the Belmont Sports Complex and boom — instant convert. Our grill is always fired up, and we’re ready to serve you something you won’t find anywhere else along El Camino Real. It’s bold. It’s hearty. It’s exactly what Belmont’s food scene needed.
Belmont Artisanal Pizzas
Hand-stretched, long-fermented dough paired with organic sauces and premium local ingredients. That’s the difference when you’re craving pizza near Belmont. We don’t cut corners — our crust gets that perfect chew, and the toppings are always fresh. Whether you’re hosting a party at Twin Pines Park or just need dinner after a kid’s game at Nesbit School, our pizza hits different. The truth is, a lot of places use frozen dough. We don’t. We roll it out by hand, right here, every single day. So when you bite into that Margherita or pepperoni, you’re tasting real craft. Belmont, you deserve better than average. And we’re here to deliver it.
Belmont Premium Pastas
Our chef-curated selection of traditional Italian all-time favorites. Served with a side of buttery toasted garlic bread. That’s comfort, plain and simple. And in Belmont, we know comfort is key after navigating the 101 or 280 traffic. Maybe you’re coming from Oracle or just wrapping up a hike at Water Dog Lake — either way, our pasta hits the spot. We’ve got spaghetti Bolognese that tastes like Nonna’s recipe, creamy Alfredo that’s rich without being heavy, and lasagna that stacks layers of pure love. Pair it with a glass of red and you’ve got a Thursday night that feels like a weekend. Belmont locals tell us all the time: “This is the closest thing to Italy without leaving the neighborhood.” We’ll take that.
Belmont Greens and Grains
Seasonal ingredients and crisp textures, prepared fresh daily to celebrate the lighter side of our kitchen. Look, we love a good slice as much as anyone in Belmont. But sometimes you want something fresh — and our salads deliver. We toss them with produce sourced from local markets, so you get that crunch every time. Think arugula with shaved Parmesan, or a classic Caesar that’s never soggy. It’s the perfect sidekick to a calzone or a Brazilian steak. And with the weather in Belmont staying mild most of the year, a crisp salad hits different on a warm evening. Whether you’re ordering for delivery to your home near Notre Dame de Namur University or grabbing a bite to go, these salads are built to satisfy.
