    Margherita pizza
    Aly C.

    ===TL;DR=== - Pane a Pala add Delfina ricotta, dried tomatoes - Margherita DOP pizza - Tagliatelle al Ragu Nostrano pasta ===TMI=== Clean and simple interior. Made a reservation and got seated right away. I must say, the food can be better for the price point we're paying for. Out of all the dishes, the starter was the better one. The bread was delightful especially with the ricotta spread. The pizza was ok. I've had better margherita pizza elsewhere. The pasta was a letdown. I didn't really taste what was so superb about it. Simple and clean ingredients but didn't give me that "I want to have more" factor. At least the staff were nice and attentive.

    One of the worst experiences in sf! First off the pizza came really burnt, but worst part is that they added some kind of meat other than the anchovies without specifying it on their menu. I don't eat pork so I'm very particular about my orders! Regarding the pizza, it had a burnt taste ( as you can see from the picture) and a very acidic sauce. I will not be coming back and I recommend people try out other great pizza spots in the city like Joyride (it's close to this one) or the classics like Tony's or flower and water!

    Swung by here for a quick bite ahead of an intramural volleyball game that I had over in the Mission. This place had lovely outdoor seating (when the weather was nice a while ago) as well as indoor seating. I enjoyed how they had little sectionals with two groups of chairs (one table with two chairs and on the other side in the same sectional, one table with 4 chairs). I felt very comfortable eating with enough space for the waiter / waitress to get by as well as for the other group to eat. I also enjoyed that as it was outside, the COVID concern was taken into thought and tables were placed with precaution. I also went recently and the place had string lights up and while closed at the time, you can see that the seating would have been great for a date night. The time I went, I split a Margherita Pizza and I can't lie, you know what you are going to get. They do it well and that pizza lived up to the hype and the standard for a great margherita pizza. Would recommend if you are in the area and looking for a quick bite and a decent price for two. The pizza crust was also deliciously crispy.

    Another delayed post but the bf and I had finally tried Locanda a month or so before the pandemic and loved it. So we were very sad when it wound up closing but then were very excited when Pizzeria Delfina had a Locanda night in March. We jumped at the chance to have the Locanda experience again and it was great. Everything tasted great. Kind of wish the deviled eggs weren't an odd number so the bf and I split the remaining one since neither of us wanted to give up on the extra egg haha. I love tartare but usually you just see steak tartare so I enjoyed having this lamb version. Appreciated that the pasta sauce did not overwhelm the delicate nature of the crab. The cod came out perfectly. Did not take a picture of the pudding cake bc we did not notice that it was a pudding cake and we were so full from the rest of dinner that we saved it for the next day. Unfortunately it became a bit melty and sad looking haha, but at least it still tasted good! Hope there's another Locanda night!

    Ordered take out from Delfina during covid times. The online ordering system was really easy to use. Once I got to Delfina, I was able to find parking around the corner. They had clear signs saying where to pick up and wait. Just provide your name on the order and the woman would pack it up and hand it to you. I drove my pizza home and it smelled delicious in the car. Once home, I toasted it really quickly just to warm it back up again. I had ordered the margarita and panna pizzas, and the spaghetti. Let's start with the good, the pizzas were decent and once heated up the cheese became melty again. The margarita was better than the panna. The panna was supposed to have cream sauce but I didn't taste much of it. The margarita could have used some more basil on the pizza. The spaghetti was just ok, I wouldn't recommend this to others - just stick to the pizza. The sauce was pretty oily, but the flavor of the spaghetti improved with the parmesan cheese. Overall feed was edible. As such a highly reviewed pizza place I was expecting better. But hey, maybe you have to have the pizza fresh right out the of oven.

    My friend and I heard a lot of great thing about Pizzeria Delfina! We got to try the place out during a visit this week. Outdoor dining has heaters and a cute little ambiance. A window at the sidewalk allows for to go orders, and inside was cute and stylish. Service was excellent and food was delicious. We had two pizzas and both were amazing! They offer water or sparking as well. Highly recommend!

    Crust is on point!! Eating this pizza truly lifted my spirits. Fresh, billowy crust. The real deal. Very very thin until you get to the end which is a bountiful pillow of heavenly cornicione. Got the sausage pizza. Delfina is not skimpy on the toppings. Lots of sausage. The marinara sauce was delicious, yet a well-balanced component. Just enough sauce to taste but not too much. Cheese on point. Red onion on point. High quality ingredients all around. Two thumbs up! Will definitely order again.

    Pizza, wine, ice cream and friends define the perfect night out for me. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday (this is her favorite restaurant) and shared a couple of veggies, pizzas and a bottle of red. They don't take reservations so we made sure to get here right before 6 pm on a Thursday night. We were comfortably seated outside but it was a tight squeeze - relatively small table to fit five people. The server was nice enough to course the meal for us - the eggplant and string beans came out first followed by the cherry pie, then the porcini pie and ending with the salsiccia. Food was solid and the salsiccia was my favorite. After the meal, time to go for ice cream down the street. Service was quick and efficient. With tax and tip, this was $46 per person which I thought was an excellent value. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

    We went here as a party of 3 on a Friday night around 730. We only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. The place is very small and only has a handful of tables. I don't think this would be good for large groups. We ordered one white pizza and one red. The crust on the white was good but the entire pizza needed salt. The red pizza was soggy and the greens on it were bitter. I would not go back here as the pizza was pretty subpar.

I met my dear friend here for dinner on Friday night and it was packed inside and out. The wait was about an hour or so, even with her calling that morning to put her name on the waiting list. We walked around and had a drink next door. Plan accordingly! My friend highly recommend the Meatball Gigante. It's one giant Meatball with your choice of sauce. We got the wild mushrooms, pancetta cream sauce. The sauce is where the magic happens. You can easily dip an entire loaf of bread with that addicting sauce. The meatball is full of flavors. They menu says they limit 25 orders a day. I guess we were lucky! We also got the Fried Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms. I have been wanting to try this dish. I remember my old Italian neighbor used to ask my mom for the blossoms each year. Not my favorite but it was okay. For the star of the night, we got the New Yorker pizza (gold medal winner Las Vegas) with sliced mozzarella, hand crushed tomato sauce, cup & char pepperoni, sliced sweet 7 spicy Italian sausage, ricotta, chopped garlic & oregano. The crust is perfect. You know it's legit when sauce is dripping out from the corner of your mouth when you take a bite and the cheese is still pulling away. I love it that the slices are cut big so you can fold it in half. IYKYK. I see what the hype is about! We sat outside to reduce the wait time. I would love to sit inside the next time I come back and I want to try other dishes. The menu is huge and I hardly made a dent. A gem in San Francisco!

When we arrived, our waitress didn't seem very knowledgeable about the beers, but honestly, that wasn't a big deal. My boyfriend ordered his pizza while I was still deciding what I wanted. His pizza came out very quickly, which we had no complaints about. The issue started when we had barely been seated for about 15 minutes. I went to the restroom, and while I was gone, the waitress approached my boyfriend while he literally had pizza in his mouth and a full beer in front of him and told him, "My chef said to charge you." He was confused but said okay because it made us wonder if they were closing. I checked the hours, and they weren't supposed to close until 10 PM--it was barely around 9 PM. I HADN'T EVEN ORDERED MY FOOD YET. I was still planning on ordering my own pizza, dessert, and a drink. Instead, we suddenly felt like we were being rushed to pay and leave. What made the situation even more unprofessional was that she left the payment device at our table for Apple Pay and then actually left the restaurant. She was the only server we had seen around, so we were basically left sitting there with the payment device and no server. We eventually had to get up ourselves to find someone so we could ask for boxes and return their payment device. No one had even asked whether we needed boxes, wanted anything else, or were finished ordering. My boyfriend didn't even finish his beer because at that point the entire vibe had changed and we just wanted to leave. We had driven an hour specifically to try this restaurant and were genuinely excited about it, which made the experience even more disappointing. I completely understand if a server's shift is ending, but there is a professional way to handle that--especially when customers are still actively eating and one person at the table hasn't even ordered yet. Someone could have simply explained that her shift was ending and introduced whoever would be taking over our table. Instead, we were made to feel like we needed to pay and leave. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the experience. We really wanted to like this place, but being treated this way after driving an hour to come here was extremely disappointing and unprofessional.
