Dining rooted in tradition in Brisbane, CA.
Brazilian Pizzeria and Grill in Brisbane, CA
Welcome to Nelci’s Kitchen—where we’re preserving the best of Mr. Pizza Man and bringing a whole new world of homemade comfort to your table. Folks in Brisbane, CA, know the struggle of finding a pizza place that actually hits the spot after a long day. You’ve got the commute down from Brisbane Village or the hills above the Bayshore, and the last thing you want is a soggy slice. We get it. That’s why we’re here—serving the Brisbane area with fresh, hand-tossed pies that taste like they’re straight from your grandma’s kitchen.
Living in Brisbane means you’re close to everything—San Francisco’s skyline is right there, but you still get that small-town vibe. We love that about your community. Whether you’re grabbing a calzone after a hike on the San Bruno Mountain trails or ordering a pasta delivery while watching the fog roll in from the Bay, Nelci’s Kitchen is your go-to. We’ve been feeding families in San Mateo and beyond for years, and now we’re bringing that same care to every delivery to Brisbane. No shortcuts. No frozen dough. Just real food, made by people who actually care.
Tradition in the kitchen, family at the table. Pull up a chair, you’re home in Brisbane.
In the fast-paced downtown San Mateo, we are committed to creating dining experiences that are shared, spirited, and always feel like home. But we’ve got a soft spot for Brisbane, CA. It’s close enough to pop over for a pick-up, yet far enough from the city chaos to feel like a retreat. The truth is, Brisbane residents don’t want fancy—they want authentic. They want a pizza that’s cheesy, a calzone that’s stuffed, and a salad that’s crisp. That’s exactly why Nelci’s Kitchen exists.
We hear this a lot from Brisbane families: “I just don’t have time to cook tonight.”
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. Here in the Brisbane area, we’re bringing that same soul to your doorstep. From the pizza ovens to the grill, everything we make has a story. And when you order from us, you’re part of it.
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 — serving Brisbane, CA, with pride.
Tradition, Carved and Shared in Brisbane.
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 Brisbane residents, that means a pizza night that actually feels like something special. Maybe you’re celebrating a little league win at Mission Blue Park or just surviving another week at the office near Sierra Point—we’ve got your back. Our wings are crispy, our pastas are hearty, and our Brazilian dishes? They’re a whole different level. Honestly, you haven’t tasted comfort until you’ve had our pão de queijo with a side of marinara.
Here’s what that means for you in Brisbane: we deliver. Straight to your door, hot and fresh. No more settling for chain pizza that tastes like cardboard. We’re talking hand-stretched dough, real mozzarella, and toppings that don’t skimp. And if you’re feeding a crowd—say, for a party at the Brisbane Community Center or a family gathering in the Brisbane Hills—we cater, too. Burgers, calzones, salads, and yes, that famous Brazilian grilled meat. Just give us a shout, and we’ll handle the rest.
Brisbane’s a unique place. It’s got that coastal fog, the smell of eucalyptus in the air, and a community that sticks together. We fit right in. So next time you’re craving something real, skip the fast food joints on Bayshore and think of Nelci’s. We’re not far, and we’re ready to serve you.

The Soul of Minas, The Heart of Brisbane
From our family kitchen to the table, every dish is a celebration of the traditions that turn guests into family. We’re talking real Italian and Brazilian flavors — the kind you’d find at a Sunday gathering in Brisbane’s Crocker Park. Here’s the thing: we’re not in Brisbane, but we’re just a short drive from the Brisbane Marina. So when you’re craving a calzone after a long day commuting down Old County Road, we’ve got your back. The Brisbane community knows us for our heart, our hand-stretched dough, and the fact that we actually remember your name after your second order. That’s not just service. That’s family.
Authentic Brazilian Grilled Meats in Brisbane
Are you up for a smoky, salty masterpiece that tastes like a Sunday afternoon in Brazil? If you’re a Brisbane resident — whether you live near the Laguna Avenue neighborhoods or up on the hills with that killer bay view — you know the value of real, honest food. Our Brazilian-style grilled meats bring that churrasco energy right to your door. We’ve watched families in Brisbane order our picanha platter for game days and birthdays. Honestly, we’ve seen kids go from picky eaters to asking for seconds. It’s not magic. It’s slow-grilled goodness, served fresh to the Brisbane area.

We don’t rush the dough — it gets a full 48-hour rise. The truth is, Brisbane locals have high standards, and we love meeting them. Every slice is a little taste of what we do best: honest, handmade Italian food that travels well from San Mateo to your table.
Brisbane Premium Pastas
Our chef-curated selection of traditional Italian all-time favorites. Served with a side of buttery toasted garlic bread. Picture this: it’s a foggy Brisbane evening, you just got off the 101, and you’re not in the mood to cook. We get it. That’s when our pasta shines. From spaghetti Bolognese to fettuccine Alfredo, each dish is made with love — and we’re not just saying that. We’ve been delivering to Brisbane homes near Visitation Valley and along Bayshore Boulevard for years. It’s comfort food that doesn’t cut corners. Our Bolognese simmers for hours. Our garlic bread is never an afterthought. Because you deserve the real deal.
Brisbane Greens and Grains
Seasonal ingredients and crisp textures, prepared fresh daily to celebrate the lighter side of our kitchen. Let’s be honest: even pizza lovers need a veggie moment sometimes. Our salads are a hit with Brisbane residents who want something fresh and fast. Whether you’re grabbing lunch near the Brisbane Library or prepping for a weeknight dinner, we’ve got you covered. We use local produce whenever we can, and everything is prepped right here in San Mateo. For the Brisbane community, that means you’re getting a salad that actually tastes like it was just picked. No sad greens. Just crunch, flavor, and a little bit of sunshine.
