Shahrazad Rahman, 39, of Merrylands, was struck by a car on Rawson Road in Guildford about 9.15pm on Saturday.
She was given CPR by police and bystanders but died on her way to Westmead Hospital.
Fairfax Media understands the ambulance service received calls to Rawson Road at 9.20pm, 9.43pm and 9.55pm.
"NSW Ambulance extends its sincere apologies and condolences to the family of this patient," it said in a statement.
"NSW Ambulance immediately began a review into its response to the patient following the incident."
The service would not comment on media claims a dispatch error caused the delay. It would not answer questions about how many calls for help it received about the collision.
Police are appealing for the driver to contact police.
Traffic and Highway chief inspector Phil Brooks has asked the public to look out for cars with damage to their bonnets or windshields.
Police believe Ms Rahman had been trying to cross Rawson Road near Campbell Hill Road.
