The Scene – Stylish Outer Richmondites who crowd into this tiny butter-colored pizzeria would love to keep it a secret. With just four tables flanked by striped banquettes inside, plus four seats at the short bar overlooking the open kitchen, the atmosphere (even when there's a bit of wait) is warm and casual. – – The Food – The crust on the individual-sized delights is shatteringly crisp and can be measured in microns, while toppings are earthy and richly flavored. The menu changes weekly, taking advantage of seasonal produce, most of which is organic and local. The…

Yeah - pretty much as good as everybody says

by agciocca at Citysearch

I have heard a lot about this place and it is only four blocks from my home so I had to try it and it is pretty damn good. No, it isn't that thick crust, Round Table kind of thing - if you want thick crust this is not the place. If you want a huge selection, this is not the place. But as far as great food, a simple menu, a charming spot and great staff - well it is all those things.

  • Pros: Amazing and inventive thin crust pizza and fantastic salads
  • Cons: limited wine list, small space

My favorite pizza place

by ellg at Citysearch

Teeny tiny, cute & cozy. Fresh ingredients, light and crispy crust, and served fresh hot out of the oven. The pizza selections change frequently so it?s always interesting to go back there. Their salads and soups are also quite heavenly.

disapointing

by chefgina at Citysearch

I've used City Search many times while traveling and have had good experiences. Recently and group of friends and I went to S.F. So of course I looked up restaraunts to check out. This establishment was very small and unacommadating. As a party of 5 we were told we could not sit together. We were okay with seperate tables, but when they informed us they couldn't guarantee our food at the same time it was strange. Apparently one pizza fits in the oven at a time? Come on! Trying to work with them, we asked for take out. Eating at Golden Gate park sounded awesome. "We don't do take out." They were rude and extremely snobby. I have no idea if the pizza is worth the poor customer service. Because we couldn't get any! Next time take my pizza and put it the box that left overs go in! And I'll take it to go!

Pizzetta 211- be your own waiter!

by hotcakes at Citysearch

The atmosphere and delicious ingredients, particularly great cheeses, are what this place has going for it. For the price, however, I did not expect to serve as my own waiter. There were as many staff members as there were customers present (small place, only 4 tables) and yet we were expected to get our own silverware and napkins, refill our own water, etc. Don't get me wrong- I'm not the type to generally demand that others wait on me, but at $15 per pizza I kinda thought service was included. Well, I guess that's 15% you can save on the tip!

  • Pros: ingredients, atmosphere
  • Cons: lack of service, value
