Pizzeria Delfina

The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


One bite explains why SF is obsessed with pizza lately: Delfina's thin crust heroically supports the weight of fennel sausage and fresh mozzarella without drooping or cracking. On sauce-free white pizzas, chefs freestyle with California ingredients such as broccoli rabe, maitake mushrooms and artisan cheese. No reservations; sign the chalkboard and wait with a glass of wine at next-door Delfina.

The pizzas' popularity has launched four sister restaurants around the Bay Area. In SF, there's one in Pacific Heights and one in SoMa.
