Located next door to their restaurant Delfina, Craig and Anne Stoll's pizzeria offers six traditional Neapolitan-inspired pies and two daily specials that come out of the oven with thin, blistery, charred crusts and the cornichone (lip or edge) of each pizza nicely puffed---chewy inside with a crisp, slightly salty exterior. The classic margherita is as good as you'll find in the Bay Area, with full moons of gooey mozzarella, sweet, ripe tomatoes and basil. Another standout, the clam pie, features fresh briny cherrystone clams and hot peppers, but the Salsiccia, with house-made fennel sausage, tomato, bell peppers and onions, is the not-to-miss pie on the list. The menu also features daily padella (in the pan) specials such as spicy Calabrese sausage with pepperonata, chicken al cacciatore, and meatballs in a classic Neapolitan meat sauce. The wine list offers 20 Italian bottles under $45. The interior is sparse and modern with heated sidewalk seating perfect for people-watching. End the meal with a fresh ricotta cannoli or the zeppole---a sneaky off-menu fried pizza dough dessert topped with mascarpone and powdered sugar. |
