Creekside Pizza and Taproom San Anselmo/Marin County…read more--------------------------- Pizza and burritos- is there anything else? These are the two items that I could eat maybe every day for the rest of my life. A pizza or a burrito can be stuffed with anything you like, any ingredient that you enjoy-it works. With the exception of peanut butter and bananas? This place seems to be open every single day. Seven days a week NOON till 9 PM, even on holidays like today, July 4 ! The joint is packed, the Giants baseball game is flashing on the screens, the beer is flowing, and the pizza is flying out the oven! The service is always exceptional. The food is sensational. They even offer half a beer or even a child's salad to accompany your pizza at a special price point. They leave no stone unturned. If you look up the word "accommodating" in the dictionary, I can bet there's a picture of Creekside Pizza and Taproom. -------------- Our meal: KID'S SALAD: Small toss salad with choice of house vinegarette or Ranch on the side/$6.00 PIZZA: NOVEMBER RAIN | $27 esto sauce, mozzarella cheese, and our mushroom medley-a blend of pan sautéed mushrooms; contains butter BEER: 8 ounce Ghost Town IPA/$6.00 ----------------------------- There are plenty of activities in downtown San Anselmo depending on the season. Often times street type fairs and music events. Here's what's coming soon : July 10: Howelldevine (Town Hall) & April & Monroe Grisman (Creek Park). July 11: Bluegrass Blowouts (Town Hall) & Urban Outlaws (Creek Park) --------------------------- There are a plethora of great restaurants in San Anselmo, the "gastronomic epicenter" of Marin! One of the best towns to come to in Marin County.

We are the exception to the fan club, but we picked up two pizzas and two salads to go and our…read moreguests and we were barely able to eat the salads and had to throw out the pizzas. The tomato and basil pizza was burnt so badly that it was inedible. It was beyond horrible. Yet, it was boxed and sealed and we were charged for it. The meat one was charred on one side and raw on the other. It wasn't edible. The wedge salad was whole and mostly iceberg lettuce with some tomato and one tub of ranch dressing. The house salad had onions, which we specifically asked be omitted when we ordered. The dressing was supposed to be on the side, but had spilled out. Things they couldn't control but didn't help: cars were parked in the loading area. There was no other parking and we had to park three blocks away and walk there and back. Since there's no way to check the order there, by the time I walked with the food knowing that house guests were waiting, and my husband was very ill, I just drove home. I could have walked back, waited another hour and hoped for less horrible food?

Oliver's is my favorite pizza joint in Marin. Unpretentious, neighborhood pizza speakeasy. Buzzing…read morewith warmth from the wood-fired oven, the fun cocktails, the flowing chatter from diners, and prompt service. Great for date night or picking up takeout pizza. The pies are great and while I don't typically love crust, theirs is chewy and worth the extra carbs. I usually order a caesar salad or their seasonal salad option (warning: prepare yourself for a hearty dinner salad) with at least 1 of these pies: Mushroom w/ sausage (secret menu), Bianca, Napoli or their Margherita. You honestly can't go wrong with any pie. They don't take reservations and it's hard to find on your first visit. They are located upstairs above Vin (wine bar) and you can enter from 4th St or from their back entrance. The two things I wish for: them to offer delivery or a call ahead option for pickup and that they were open more nights. Wed-Sat simply isn't enough!

Excellent. This IS pizza…read more Small menu, HUGE flavor! Stumbled onto this spot while surfing GOOGLE Maps and some "teaser" came up and I clicked on it. A few words in and a glance at some pics, I was sold. Here's where my next pizza is coming from. Shot out a quick text to my buddy in SF and eagerly awaited 5:00 PM opening time. I love pizza. It's kind of the perfect food for me. I could eat it every day. I'm somewhat of a pizza stalker, (arrest me) and this is as good as it gets. We shared a MARGHERITA pizza. Tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil. My buddy had a beautiful large portion HOUSE CAESAR. Little gems, anchovy, lemon, breadcrumbs, parmigiano, reggiano. A delicious craft cocktail for me: NONNO'S CARDIGAN- bourbon, meletti, black walnut, orange zest. The rotating hazy beer for my buddy.... Dig it baby, the only thing missing was a live jazz trio. I was so pleased that I returned a couple hours later with my wife and we had a delicious mushroom pizza.. Great "speakeasy vibe" with expert, classy interior design/decorating work. Truly a jewel in downtown San Rafael which definitely needs something to sparkle. And, it is located above top-notch restaurant, Vin Antico on fourth Street. Now you have two reasons to visit downtown. If a picture is worth 1000 words, here is a mouthful. Food for thought, have a peek. "He that keeps not crust nor crum Weary of all, shall want some." (I stole that from "Willy the Shake", you know-neither a borrower nor a lender be.)

Earlier in the afternoon I reserved a table for 3, after 6pm via the link here on Yelp. I also made…read morea request for a table for ideal for conversation. They completely accommodated are girls night get together. We all ordered a salad, Arugula, lightly, yet perfectly dressed and the Blue Cheese Wedge were all delicious. We shared The Lover pizza where we added red sauce-a highly recommended move. It was the highlight, a really delicious pizza, a light airy crust and so much flavor. One pizza allows a party of 3 two slices each, just enough after a generous salad portion. I also enjoyed my wine choice and can highly recommend the Valravn Cab-Sonoma Co. I feel the $107 plus tip was a great value for 3 of us, including 2 wines and a hot tea. I am very pleased with this being our 1st experience at Red Rooster. The staff were friendly but not over attentive-perfect balance!

I've eaten here many times over the years and both the Pizza and sandwiches were always hot, fresh,…read moreand delicious. Now, a few years later, it's gone completely downhill and both the food and service were very poor. The front sign still says "Brooklyn Pizza", but the music inside was loud Mexican mariachi-style music. Inside, one of the rooms was unused and stacked with old, dusty furniture. We ordered sandwiches and pasta, and both seemed like they were pre-made and just warmed up - definitely not made with fresh ingredients. We kept having to flag down a server to find out where our food was, ask for utensils, etc. and it took forever for us to get our food. Sadly, I won't be returning to this once great restaurant.

Stefano's is clearly a local favorite, given you often see their boxes at school events, camp…read morelunches, and neighborhood gatherings all the time. So I wanted to like it more than I actually do. Here's my main issue: the sauce situation. There's barely any on the pizza by default, and if you want what I'd consider a normal amount of sauce, they charge extra for it. That feels a bit like charging extra for a burger to actually have seasoning. The cheese is fine, the crust is fine, the toppings are fine. Everything is solidly in "okay" territory. Nothing offensive, but nothing that makes me think "I need to order from here" either. Skip the wings. They taste like they've been reheated from frozen, often arrive soggy, and have this thick breading that slides right off. Worse, they're frequently overcooked to the point where the bones actually splinter inside the meat, which is both unappetizing and kind of concerning. Just not worth ordering. The staff is genuinely friendly, which counts for something. There's a private parking lot, so no circling the block looking for a spot. And the coupons they mail out regularly do bring the price down to a reasonable level compared to other chain pizza places in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to order from Stefano's, but I seem to be in the minority here. Plenty of people clearly love it. There's a reason it's become the default pizza for so many local schools and camps. Kids especially seem to be fans, and if you're feeding a crowd on a budget with their coupons, it gets the job done. It's a perfectly serviceable neighborhood pizza place that works well for many people, just not my first choice. If you're curious, maybe start with just a pizza (extra sauce, trust me) and form your own opinion.

Disappointing Experience at Terra Linda Branch…read more I ordered a Hawaiian pizza with the XL $30 off promotion, but it turned out to be an absolute disappointment. There were barely any toppings or meat on it at all. If you're going to discount your food but slash the quality this drastically, you should just warn customers beforehand that the promotion only gets them crust and 20% of the actual toppings. I thought the discount was a genuine deal, but it was just a terrible experience. Very disappointing

We shared the most scrumptious tiramsu. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with Casey the bar tender, and another shout out to Heather (one of our favs). We had a very enjoyable Father's Day dinner. Ambiance is always cozy with a splash of the Mediterranean.

Our server, Heather, was absolutely amazing. She gave us her recommendations and was very kind throughout our time there. I have an allergy and she checked with the chef to ensure what we wanted to order did not have the allergen. The food was delicious, I wish we had one in South bay. They have their own house-made chili oil which was really good, just a bit too spicy for my tastes (as someone who doesn't eat too spicy things), but my boyfriend enjoyed it. We ordered the Stella Pinsa (Mozzarella, crescenza cheese, prosciutto parma, and seasonal mushrooms), Ghiretti Panino (Prosciutto Parma, Fiordi latte mozzarella, fresh tomato ,arugula, evo), and Stracciatella Gilato. The stella pinsa was my favorite, the panini was equally as good and the tomato and arugula added freshness. Heather informed us the pinsa is their dough that is proofed for 48(?) hours, so it tastes a bit like sourdough. We were also told that their gelato flavors rotate and they make it in house too! If i'm ever in San Rafael again, i'm definitely coming back!

Santos, our server, was wonderfully attentive, gave us just the right amount of time to decide but not too much. The kids absolutely loved him, he made us feel like we were at his house for dinner without over asserting himself as I have experienced a lot of servers do when trying (or trying to hard) to make you feel at home. The food came out promptly and extremely fresh. We had the Calzone Bartolmi, Spaghetti and Lasagna Pesto. All were amazing from texture to flavor. We were there about 5:30 so they had the back and front doors open and it was beyond pleasant with the breeze and soft light coming in the restaurant. We don't come to the city very often, but we will definitely make a point to stop or at the very least order pizza on the way through when we do come this way. Sorry no food pics cuz we ate it too fast put I'll post a pic of the tables
