Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Pizzeria Delfina from around the web.
"The pizza was delicious too, but I really think some of their best offerings are in the starter categories. They're often a little bit unique, despite the simplicity, and the flavors and quality are just spot on...."
"Delfina is the kind of place where they can take something you wouldn't necessarily expect to taste good, and make it absolutely delicious...."
"Their pizzas are large and bubbly, with a slightly sweet tomato concasse-style sauce. Dare I say it (please don't hit me Joy!) it was delicious, but it wasn't as good as Oliveto the day before...."
"Choose from eight pizzas, like the margherita with fresh-stretched mozzarella; broccoli rabe with Bellwether Farms ricotta; or house-made fennel sausage with peppers and onions. Daily specials, like eggplant parmigiana, are served in cast-iron skillets, a..."
""The pizza was soooo greasy. I am assuming this was in part due to the pig fat."..."
"Antipasti that change daily will be reflective of the seasons, platters and bowls of it on the counter. A salad, probably a tri colore (that's arugula, raddichio and endive) with ham dressing...."
"Service was good with the servers very friendly. They do not take reservations, so waiting times can be high. Go early or late. Pizzeria Delfina is one of the better pizza’s in San Francisco...."
"The menu features six Neapolitan-inspired pies, as well as two daily specials. On the night we went, we opted for one of the usual menu offerings: the Salsiccia, which is house-stretched mozzarella topped with fennel sausage, tomato, bell peppers and onio..."
"Everything with eggs is good I'd say and this is quite an interesting pizza. The runny yolk does well at cutting the spiciness of the tomato sauce and sopping up the remaining yolk with their delightful crust was pretty amazing...."
"During my previous visits at Delfina I had exactly the same experience: great pizza, but okay appetizers, which sounded amazing on paper but failed to deliver the richness of flavors the pizza brings to the table. Yippie for pizza!..."
"We were debating whether it could be fresh tomato sauce, and if so, how would the pizzeria achieve the near perfect balance of sweet yet tangy, fresh-tasting sauce in the winter. Our fears of not being able to reach these heights year-round were put to re..."
"Pretending we weren't stuffed to the brim we had two desserts! First it was the new to the menu Gelato sundae, made with vanilla gelato, Amarena cherries, pistachios, and whipped cream and topped at the table with hot fudge. We also tried the peanut strac..."
"The space is bigger than the 18th street location with three generous booths in the back plus lots of other seating. The open kitchen, in full view from front to back,was jumping with two giant pizza ovens (two ovens each) and chefs doing everything from ..."
"We had Margherita (tomato, basil) pizza - The crust was crispy and chewy but it had no taste except for the 3 leaves of basil on the pizza. ) I thought the pizza was salty but the sausage had great seasoning...."
""Most of the space is given over to the kitchen and oven that turns out thin-crusted Neapolitan-inspired pizza. The shape is irregularly round, blistered and puffy at the edges...."
"If you're reading a food column, you probably already know about Delfina, the Italian new-wave place on 18th Street distinguished from other such places by its total excellence. Several years ago, I had a roast chicken there that has become the standard b..."
"However, the best way to end is the stainless steel bowl filled with three small scoops of house-made gelato ($5). The vanilla is pure and clean and the lemon has a pleasant tang, but the chocolate is a worthy contender, too...."
"Waiters are friendly and accommodating, and are quick to change plates between courses, but they may forget to wipe down the table before dessert, leaving the globs of cheese that inevitably fall to the table as diners pick up slices...."
"And googling for it, it looks like a favorite of aquariophiles to keep company to their fish. The sword flower had a jicama texture, like a slightly crunchy root, and a faint flavor...."
"Like the next-door mother ship Delfina, this upscale hole-in-the-wall spinoff maximizes the flavor of top-quality local ingredients through simple combinations and straightforward preparations. Crispy, thin-crust, 12-inch pies (sorry, no slices) come with..."
"The pizza included fresh ricotta, mozzarella, broccoli raab, and oven dried tomatoes. It was a very tasty pizza, but our feelings about the execution of this pie remain mixed...."
"The crust was much better on the final visit, where we had the Napoletana ($10) with tomato, anchovies, hot peppers, capers, olives and oregano. It had a beautifully puffed edge, with blisters that ranged from pinpricks to the size of golf balls, slightly..."
"The lemonade came first, and it is a fine lemonade indeed, perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and smooth and astringent. It was a proper and perfectly realized lemonade...."
"The topmost of the two pies above was a white pizza topped with guanciale, and the one just above had prosciutto and fresh greens and was almost a salad pizza. Not bad, but by the point I ended up eating these two, I was stuffed to the gills, and I'm afra..."
"Pizzeria Delfina is a top choice for a casual dining experience if you find yourself in the area. Although seating is limited, you do have a choice of dining al fresco and indoors. You’ll be delighted to see daily changing specials of antipasti and pizza,..."
"Tried 3 different pizzas (sausage, margherita and fennel with mushroom) and all were very good. You're given a small plate of fresh and dried herbs and other ...."
"So we opted to start with the Tricolore salad. Oops. Mi scusi, the Insalata Tricolore. Really one of the best basic salads we've had. Super fresh, three different greens and shaved parm on top with a light olive oil & vinegar drizzle...."
"And that crust!!! Words can’t explain that fabulously wonderful crust!..."
