Got the squash blossom pizza (4/5) and the clam pizza (5/5). Both would've been better with crushed red pepper, which we didn't get with our order. Overall, our takeout order was good and they did remember to give us plates and napkins, so I was pleased. read more

My wife and I, joined by our little dog, ate at Delfina in Burlingame last night, before she dropped me off at SFO airport. That worked out very well. We have tried the original Delfina, the SOMA outpost, and now this venue. Although neither of us is enthusiastic about waiting outside on the sidewalk for an hour before dining, that was not necessary here. I'd be pleased to visit any of the Delfina branches for their contemporary cuisine, billed as "Cal Italian." We had one main dish and two small dishes. The main was the winter chicory pizza. The crust was perfect from the wood fire. The flavors were strong but not overpowering. Be warned, if you don't care for it, that the dish has egg, and the yolk was runny. We also had the mozzarella with anchovy butter. It was not like anything I've had. It was served on a stick. The cheese was fried, and it had a crust. The butter was something I'd like to try to make at home, though I won't have the skill to brown it as they did, to impart a sweet smokiness. We also had the squash, which, even as the least favorite, was excellent. We saved a bit as leftovers. I had the rice lager. My wife had a glass of red wine she pronounced to be a perfect pairing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bonus was bringing the pup. We kept her in her carrier. They gave us a four top.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At the next table there was a couple. They had a husky. It was eye level with the surface, looking hungrily at every dish but behaving; my wife said it was as if they were torturing their pet. Our server was friendly. She was efficient. They were doing well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They accommodated a family with two young children and no reservations (I think it included a grandmother), if they could be done in 75 minutes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor area had those heaters. We sat underneath one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We'd been holding onto the remnants of a gift card for at least a dozen years. We rarely go to San Francisco anymore. Traffic, parking, crime, panhandlers and more, while each is bearable individually, all combined at the same time simply makes the trip not worth it. And it drives us crazy because there are so many great restaurants that we would love to eat at. So, we were in the Peninsula to check out a newly opened business and I decided to go a little out of our way to get a great pizza and use up the gift card. While I walked the dog up and down Burlingame Avenue, she went inside to place our order to go. Turns out that the gift card was so old, the team member had to go upstairs to the office to look up the value. We ordered the Funghi PIzza and the Saffron Arancini. Perfection! Both dishes! She also got a Pomegranata Soda which she enjoyed. Food, excellent. Service, excellent. Timing, it took a bit longer than the 15 minutes quoted to get our food. Eat there again? Absolutely! read more

Pizzeria Delfina is still a solid spot in Burlingame and I used to enjoy coming here for some pizza, but it's gone a bit downhill. We stopped in on a Saturday night and were able to get seated quickly with no reservations. Nice to not need reservations, but too bad it's just ehh now. We ordered the corn soup for a starter, noci pie, and tonnarelli all' Amatriciana for a pasta. The corn soup was nice to start with. I used to love coming here for the fennel sausage pizza, and opted for the noci pie per the server's suggestion this time. To my dismay, the pizzas are now pretty soggy and greasy on the bottom. The actual flavor of the noci pie wasn't bad, but the dough was too thin, causing it to be too soggy and greasy to hold up the ingredients. The pasta was just alright and portions in general were a bit small. Gluten free dough is still available for pizzas. Our waitress seemed annoyed at us for almost the whole duration of our meal. I had dirty utensils and had to ask for a new set. She asked us about ordering dessert, to which we said we could take a look at the menu. We didn't find anything interesting and opted to go somewhere else for dessert instead. She wasn't very attentive during our meal and didn't bring us enough to-go boxes and we had to ask for an extra box, to which we received a half eye roll. She was extremely quick to get us our check without us even asking though and there were plenty of tables available. Ok... We ended up at a nearby restaurant for a dessert to end our night instead and even though it was only a dessert there, we received great service. Burlingame has plenty of other Italian restaurants and other great restaurants nearby as well. Seems like other people seem to think Pizzeria Delfina has gone downhill as well, and I think I'll be steering clear of it to go to one of the other nearby spots I like more for both better food and service. read more

I've been a fan of Pizzeria Delfina locations in the city. The Burlingame location is smaller but the layout is better. The food was good but service is a bit scattered. Favorite was the pizza and pomodoro. The pasta had a great chew. The salad was a bit salty and small. Prices are on high side for amount of food you get but it's good. Multiple people came and dropped off dessert menus and took awhile for the bill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking read more

There's clear attention to what's seasonal in California, and it shows in the food. The menu is focused and thoughtful.

Food: MUST MUST MUST try their Margherita DOP and their Grilled Corn. I will literally drive 2 hours just to have these 2 items. THEE Best. Perfection. We also tried one of the vegetarian pizza (cant remember the name) that had a lot of cherry tomatoes. I would not recommend it personally, unless you love ALOT of cherry tomatoes on top of your pizza. Also must get their crostini, such a delight while you wait for your main course. Drinks: We tried their wines and it was yum Service: Good service but I will say they do get busy and the server can be super super slow at this point (they do have a lot of tables). Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]A place that is super happening! Romantic date night is also fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time coming here and I already know it's not going to be the last! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is so nice -- sitting outside on a sunny day with a cold beer just felt perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I started with the olives and the crispy little fried bites (so good, crunchy outside and soft inside). The pizza with arugula was amazing -- super fresh, light, and full of flavor. Everything tasted authentic and made with care. Service was friendly and fast, and the whole vibe of the place is just easy and welcoming. Definitely one of my new favorite Italian spots. read more

Pizzeria Delfina has been a solid spot my family's been going to for the past few years. With that being said - in our most recent visit the quality of the food seems to have dropped off a bit from what I remember. My favorite dishes from our evening were the salsiccia pizza and duck ragu. Everything else seemed to be missing something and just lacked flavor. With that being said, the staff has been and is always so friendly and accommodating each time I've been here. I really hope the food quality improves, I'd love to keep coming back. read more

Came here for a quick bite after checking out the Burlingame tree lighting and Winter Marker. We ordered the saffron arancini, the Star Route Escarole-Persimmon salad, and the clam pie pizza. Honestly I was a bit disappointed at the food. Everything was just OK with lack of flavor. The standouts are the roasted hazelnuts in the salad and the tomato sauce on the pizza. Everything felt overpriced for what you get. I likely won't be back as there are better Italian pizza options throughout Burlingame. read more

Stopped in for pizza and wine. Had the clam pie and it was super salty -- almost inedible and not much else for flavor. Crust was crunchy, almost dry, and lacked chewiness and depth of flavor. Service was slow. Host staff was gracious. Wine = expensive. With all the other pizza choices, I would not recommend this place. read more

This place is a mixed bag. First, the good: Their pasta is great. They have proper, authentic carbonara, with eggs (not cream) and guanciale (not panchetta or bacon) which isn't too common in the USA. Since they have "pizzeria" in the name, you'd expect them to have good pizza. They say it's Napoletana pizza, but it's not really. I tried a Margherita. The base is too thin meaning the pizza basically falls apart, while the crust is way too thick and is bland, tasteless, and too dry. Compare the pizza here to somewhere like Doppio Zero, Terun, or Napoletana Pizzeria, which have actual (AVPN-approved) Napoletana pizzas and you'll immediately notice the difference. Finally, they add a 5% junk fee. This is a sneaky way to increase prices in a hidden way, without adjusting menu prices to reflect the actual price of items. This is anti-consumer and I'm taking off one star as a result. read more

Good pizza! They make their own sausage in house it's excellent! The dough is very good and chewy. Service is attentive but not too much they leave you alone enough. I tried the sausage salsica and the other was mushroom added sausage both very good. Great relaxing place for a pizza with calm music playing. I like that they use the qr code for the bill if you want to pay by phone. They do add 5 percent for employee mandates. I really don't like that but it's not the fault of them. Overall a great place for pizza. read more

Love at first bite! We couldn't decide what to get for 'light' dinner as we were in the area. Pizza sounded like a good idea as we could split it easy. We got the white sauce Carbonara Pizza, which had 2 eggs, guanciale and some scallions. We added arugula for some greens and freshness to the rich white sauce and eggs combo. I love that the crust is very thin yet it holds the toppings well and it didn't get soggy. The place was packed on a Wednesday night but we got seated immediately. There seems to be a short wait for those who want outdoor seating. Service is steady and the staff all friendly. We will be back for sure. read more

Pizzeria Delfina - Burlingame - Carbonara Pizza with additional arugula - Italian Near Me - Burlingame, California

Delfina used to be one of my top 3 pizza spots, but today's meal was deeply disappointing. We started with the Chilled Tripe "Street Cart-Style" and the Saffron Arancini. The tripe was underwhelming--just boiled with a bottle of chili oil and salt on the side. The arancini was simply a fried mozzarella ball; if there was saffron, it was undetectable. I wouldn't recommend either appetizer. For the pizza, we ordered our favorite, the Carbonara, which was unusually salty this time. We also tried the clam pie, which we've enjoyed in the past, but today the red sauce was overly tangy. We each had a slice, and no one touched it again. So disappointing. read more

My friends and I went to Pizzeria Delfina for dinner. For our main entree, we tried their eggplant parmigiana, housemade gnnochi pasta, and formaggi pizza. The eggplant parmigiana was the best. The portion size of each entree was very generous. The parmigiana sauce was good. The pizza was decent. It had a thin crust. The gnnochi was very dense and greasy, and it didn't come with enough sauce, so part of it felt very bland. For dessert, we tried their panna cotta and tiramisu. Tiramisu was light, and it had a strong espresso/coffee flavor. The panna cotta was tart, and it came with pomegranates. Our server was very nice and friendly. He checked in on us from time to time to make sure we were doing okay. read more

We've been dining at this location for years. Service has always been solid. Everyone is friendly and attentive. We normally order the tri-color salad, the burrata and the salsiccia pizza. All delicious! But this review is mainly for their Buttermilk-brined Fried Chicken. Offered only 3 times a year (Super Bowl, Father's Day & 4th of July). I placed 4 orders for today's 4th gathering. It was a HUGE hit! Ty to the team and especially Julia for making it possible for me to pick up my order at noon (right when they open) to make it in time for the gathering. This is a must if you're craving fried chicken during those 3 dates! read more

I came here for lunch with my best friend after walking the farmers market. Every other restaurant seemed packed, but Delfina was almost empty. We sat inside and order the arugula prosciutto pizza and the arancini. Service was a little slow, but the food was good. The arancini was fried hot and was nice and gooey inside with cheese. The pizza was alright, but some of the meat was tough, and it was in pieces that made it hard to eat when biting pizza. If you don't want to wait for something else, it's a solid choice. read more

Started with arancini for the table. They were light crispy and flavorful. We shared the melon salad and the pizza with their homemade sausage.

Came here with a group of work friends. My work friend picked the spot. So we went. We ordered a bottle of wine (ended it up drinking 2 bottles), some beer for one. Wine was the one with Asian pear note. It was very crisp and yummy. A bit higher on sugar content but tastes great. We ordered burrata, mozzarella fritters and an likely the chilled tripe for appetizers. The fritters were really good. Enjoyed it very much. I am not a big fan of bread and didn't try the burrata. My friends enjoyed the other appetizers. We ordered 3 pizzas to share including the magherita red pie, funghi white pie, and likely the sausage red pie. I ordered the gnocchi with a side of mushrooms, and I think they also ordered the duck ragu to share. Pizzas are of a decent size. I only tried one slice but it was really solid. My friends loved all the pizzas that we ordered. I found my gnocchi to be awesome. I mixed in the mushrooms in the end and it was delicious. We finished with tiramisu and panna cotta. I love the tiramisu. Nicely executed. Their service was friendly but not the fastest. We often time waited and trying to catch people's attention. But we understand it was their prime time also. Their ordering system doesn't work very well. It was difficult for the waiter to find and read out the ordered items for checking. Overall, I might bring kiddos over to try out their pizza and retake the gnocchi. It was pretty nice and seems to be kids friendly. read more

completely gone down hill since Covid. the fennel sausage pizza is my fav, last time I was there when I got it it was a wet, soggy meth.

Our go to for Italian in our area. Delfina hits the spot everytime. Their salads are next level. So fresh, with the right amount of dressing, packed with vegetables, and beautifully plated. All of their pizzas are chewy with a light crisp and saucy. My favorites are mama pie and salsiccia. Other standouts are their meatballs, rigatoni and gnocchi. Their panna cotta is exactly how I like it. Creamy yet light with strawberries in balsamic glaze. It's always easy to get a last minute reservation or walking in on a whim and finding a table. The no wait is clutch and hard to come across these days. read more

This is a solid casual pizza place for me. If I'm craving a Neapolitan pizza that I can pick up, this is the place. The service was awesome! My waitress was very attentive and had a strong passion for the restaurant. We tried the chilled tripe which was served with chili oil, salt, and lemon. Pro-tip: if you enjoy spicy, use the chili oil on your pizza since it's way spicier than the chili flakes they give you on the spice plate. My two pizzas tasted delicious hot from the oven. The baked lumachine or as my server deemed the "adult Mac n Cheese" came on a iron plate, but I think the pizzas were more the star of the show. read more

Great place for good pizza- good variety. First time here and will definitely come back again. Rice ball appetizer was a good starter.

Came with a friend on a Friday night. We were able to get seated immediately, but the place was pretty busy. We ordered the belfiore burrata as an appetizer, a margherita pizza, and a prosciutto pie pizza. The belfiore burrata came with a large pile of arugala, two crostinis, and the whole thing was drenched in olive oil. None of the flavors worked together to create a cohesive dish and the burrata didn't really taste like anything; all we could taste was the olive oil. Wouldn't recommend this. The margherita pizza was okay. The texture and bounciness of the crust was good, but the actual ingredients on the pizza left much to be desired. The tomato sauce was kind of watery and the mozzarella was tasteless. It didn't taste terrible but it's also not something I'd desire to eat again. The prosciutto pie pizza was also bland. The prosciutto wasn't too salty, though, which I appreciated. All the ingredients were good by itself, but there was a lack of flavor in the dish as a whole that made it not that enjoyable to eat. I'd avoid this pizza in the future. The servers were friendly, and service was fast. There are a couple of parking lots in the area as well as street parking. I don't think I'd come back here. read more
