"The Italian ices at Pizzeria Delfina are so good, and they come in three flavors: chocolate, lemon and cherry. My favorite one is chocolate. Plus, they're made in-house." Chef Joe Magnanelli Read more

Great date spot with fantastic pizzas. You can try to share, but you might as well order one for each person, they are THAT good. Great wine selection as well. Be prepared to wait.

Fresh ingredients and thin blistered crust since the dawn of time (the late '90s). Try for the sidewalk seating and a classic margherita pizza or the fennel sausage: it's the stuff of Mission legend. Read more

Excellent thin crust pizza here. Decent beer selection, with a couple of local options. Arancini appetizer was also delicious, but request a side of marinara to go with it. Much better that way.
Alex GronbachDecember 22, 2017
Friendly service, also very attentive and helpful. The Lardo pizza was delicious! Only complaint was that the servings were a bit small for how expensive it is.
Adam BraceSeptember 26, 2014
Get the Prosciutto pie, the pizzas are surprisingly light so you wont leave feeling stuffed. Remember to write your name and party size on the blackboard when you arrive so you can be seated.
Anthony AdamsMarch 30, 2016
It may sound simple but the 4 cheese, with added house pepperoni, is just too damn good. Perfectly crispy crust with a nice bit of char here and there on the edges.

A Sicilian specialty, granita is a staple of Delfina's dessert menu, and it makes a wonderful end to any meal at this next-door sister restaurant to the Mission's Pizzeria Delfina Read more

This place is great but busy. Take out is available but there’s always a line. They do delivery via caviar. Their best pizza is the Napoletana - tomato, capers, anchovies, hot peppers. Try it!
Juney HamApril 21, 2013
The margherita pizza is deceptively simple, right? Simple enough that you kinda want to order the fancy broccoli raab, panna or prosciutto pie? Imma let you finish, but ... you get the idea. Order it.

You can make the argument that no restaurant in the last decade has changed the dining landscape quite like Delfina and its pizzeria offshoot next door. And that's a good thing. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Get the spicy cauliflower. "The spicy and salty mix of flavors is fantastic alongside the caramelization of the cauliflower." - Chef Rachel Sillcocks Read more
Ryan DanielApril 22, 2020
We made it here shortly before closing time on a Saturday night and were somehow taken directly to a table. Hands down the best pizza I have ever had. We will definitely be returning.
Irene Cantizano BescósAugust 10, 2014
Best pizza in San Francisco. Thin crust, fresh ingredients, superb mozzarella. The margherita is a sure bet, but the toppings and special pizzas are also delicious. You will want to come back!
Frances JamesDecember 1, 2014
EXCELLENT thin crust pizza and appetizers. No reservations so put your name in and wander the mission. If they have the roasted cauliflower appetizer, get it and prepare to drool.

I love this place. Dough is crisp and thin, strong awesome flavors. Huge fan of the Napoletaba which has strong, interesting salty flavors and no cheese. Delicious.
Beatriz CastilloDecember 30, 2014
Even though the place isn't too big, they have delicious pizzas. I got a margherita and added prosciutto - a great choice! The ingredients were very fresh, loved the mozzarella cheese!
Bora UnNovember 15, 2013
When it's nice out - I'd just get a couple pizzas to-go, a bottle of red from bi-rite and picnic at Dolores Park. Delfina's pizzas are so delicious and can be enjoyed anywhere.
Timothy CavanaughNovember 22, 2013
Best authenticity Italian pizza I've ever had outside of Italy. Meaning, you'll be disappointed if looking for a thick doughy crusted, piled high with ingredients, drowning in cheese kind of pizza. 😁
Bastian BergmannMay 14, 2018
Simply amazing. Everything in the menu is great. Get a pizza for sure, but try the apps and the meatballs - ridiculous!
Damian BayonaOctober 31, 2017
Skip the line by sitting at the bar. Delicious pizzas are served surprisingly quick. Pair with a tasty bottle of red for a good time 👌🏻
Zahid ZamanOctober 9, 2012
One of the best pizza places on either coast. Pair your slices with the wide selection of Italian wines under the outdoor heat lamps on a cool San Francisco evening in the Mission.
Courtney RidensMarch 9, 2014
The space is tight and the place is busy, but for good reason that renders it worth the squeeze, wait, and cost. A strong selection of good music, pizza, and specials - this place is great for dates.
Kathy 👩🏻‍💻 LinAugust 31, 2014
Buratta is excellent. Soft, served with crunchy bread, olive oil, and arugula. I wonder if they make it in house?
June ParkAugust 19, 2017
Great pizza! Amazing crust! Get a pizza at Pizzeria Delfina and dessert at Bi rite creamery. Perfect plan for weekend
Raymond PeckMay 22, 2017
Very busy place, you literally cannot go wrong with what pizza you choose it's that good. Iconic San Francisco location.

Get the tuna conserva: a delicious and surprisingly filling combination of flaky oily tuna, meltingly soft butter beans, and bitter greens.
Elizabeth IrizOctober 16, 2014
Chilly night in SF? Don't worry they have heat lamps to keep you and the special of the day nice and toasty!
Jessica RaeSeptember 15, 2013
Zagat 25. Cost $30. “Insanely good”, “beautifully charred” Neapolitan-style pies with “innovative toppings” have fans of this Mission–Pac Heights duo vowing they “won’t eat pizza anyplace else”;
Jessica KarleMarch 5, 2014
The special avocado salad is amazing and the Prosciutto Pie are amazing. Well worth a stop in!
SFistSeptember 18, 2015
There's variety, from the clam pie to the house-made fennel sausage to the daily rotating seasonal specials, all clocking in under $20. Read more
Odile RoujolJuly 23, 2016
Best pizza. Take the one with home made sausage with a glass of Italian wine
Ryan DorshorstAugust 8, 2014
Almost always busy. You can order carry out and skip the line, or put your name in the chalkboard and grab a glass of wine while you wait.

One of the only top pizzerias in the city that does to-go orders. Take advantage, never wait in line for a table. The fried stuff here tends to be gross, stick with the salads, antipasti, and pizzas.
Laura CNovember 17, 2011
Fantastic Italian menu and delicious fresh pizzas. Although Delfina is usually crowded and hard to get in, the pizzeria next door that is smaller and open for lunch tends to have more openings.
Adam K.January 28, 2021
If you are on the east/south end of the city like the Mission, Noe, or Bernal definitely order pick up directly! You'll get a nice hot pie. Doordash orders come from Cow Hollow and often get cold.
Jole PAugust 29, 2015
Pizzas are perfect to share for 2 especially if you want to grab some dessert elsewhere along mission after. (I suggest mission pie)
The Bold ItalicSeptember 27, 2011
Get the classic Neapolitan-style Margherita made with minimal but super tasty ingredients, like Berkeley-based Belfiore mozzarella— it's packed with flavor! Sometimes simplicity really is perfection. Read more
Nuno Sanches e SilvaSeptember 28, 2013
Pizza is good but not all that in my opinion. Certainly the prosciutto pizza was not worth 17USD at all. Didn't try the margherita though. Will continue looking for the best pizza napolitana in town.
PureWowAugust 16, 2016
Just when you thought you couldn’t eat another bite, there’s the panna cotta, a little bit of heaven on a plate. Read more
Nancy TranJuly 6, 2015
I love Neapolitan style pizza but I thought this pizza was too crisp. It was very... Crunchy, and good Neapolitan pizza dough should have some give.
Rico Altman MerinoMarch 19, 2013
Maybe the best pizza I've had in the city. Menu changes, but asparagus with lemon brown butter and pizza amatriciana were highlights. Great service.
Elaine CourtneyJune 3, 2014
Waiting is typical here. We loved the Salsiccia, and Prosciutto Pie. Save some room for the bomb-ass Meatballs in Sugo as well.
suzanne 🌶July 12, 2016
A Neapolitan-styled margherita 🍕 is my first choice. The sauce: tomato wonderland. A modest balance of sauce and crust.
ViatorStaffAugust 26, 2010
Get here early for dinner (before 7) or come at lunch if you want to snag a table for these delectable thin crust pizzas. The Napoletana is fantastic. Or call in an order to go & eat at Dolores Park.

Take away pizzas are usually done in 10-15 minutes even at busy times. I recommend the Margherita pizza.
Denaya DaileyApril 15, 2012
Yum! The meatballs are to die for... So are the brussel sprouts. Grab a glass of vino and sit outside in the sun. Great people watching too!
Aaron CuppMay 25, 2014
Try the olives! They were extremely tasty and went well with the Prosciutto Pie pizza.
EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010
Craig Stoll cooks Italian food here through the lens of the Bay Area: hyperseasonal, locally sourced, and as primally satisfying as the home cooking of a Tuscan nonna. The panna cotta is legendary.

Does it look busy? Sit at the bar for a perfect pizza made before your eyes. Don't miss their special antipasti; they are ALWAYS excellent.
