What People Are Saying About Pizzeria Delfina
Featured Review

The front sidewalk flutters with conversation from two tables and good-looking folks sipping wine while waiting to be seated. Inside, stools line an oak counter overlooking a clean white and steel kitchen where cooks twirl dough. In the near corner, a table is tucked next to an oak banquette with space for a dozen. Above the seating, a mirror reflects the room's constant activity and a chalkboard showcases the menu. Reggae and spacey rock wafts in the background. In addition to a daily entree prepared in Delfina's kitchen next door, thin pizzas with spongy, crunchy crusts are the specialties.…
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- Starting at 5:30pm, there are spaces available at Cherin's Appliance (Valencia and 18th Streets).
- What to Drink:
- Italian wines and a few bottled beers are available, including seldom-seen Sudwerk, brewed in Davis, California.
- Know Before You Go:
- Reservations are not accepted. Arrive early, put your name on the chalkboard and head to a nearby watering hole if there's a lengthy wait. Call the restaurant 10 minutes before you're supposed to be seated; the space holds 30 people and delays can happen.

This is my pizza go to!
by jtfwall at Citysearch
I miss it if I haven't been in more than a few weeks. The staff is great, the food is solid. Just all around a perfect night... but if you are looking for uppity and so forth... go elsewhere. This is a relaxed and fun place and the food matches that exact sentiment.

Excellent food and fun vibe
by pprichard , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
This is for the California St. location. Pizzeria Delfina has made me a pizza snob - I can't go anywhere else. They don't take reservations and it's a popular place, so go before 6:30 if you don't want to wait. It's a small restaurant so hard for groups, but perfect for 2 or 4. Everything on the menu is good, but the meatballs are amazing. The only con I have (I really don't mind waiting for good food) is that they play loud music on top of an already-loud restaurant. OK, that might sound like a grandmother comment, but I do enjoy conversation while I eat. But don't let that scare you away, the pizza and vibe are worth the visit!
- Pros: Hand-stretched mozzarella, need I say more?
- Cons: Long wait, loud music

The BEST pizza I've ever eaten.
by Calguy at Citysearch
I've eaten a lot of pizza at many different pizza joints in several states. Ocassionally, I will come across a very good pizza, but most are average. Pizzeria Delfina is exceptional. I had heard about this place getting high reviews from pizza connoiseurs, so I thought to give it a try. Hands down, this is the best pizza(margherita) I've ever had. My wife ordered a calzone which was very good. We now make the 30 mile drive from Fremont once a month so we can enjoy this great pizza.
- Pros: Freshness of ingredients
- Cons: lack of parking; nothing new in San Francisco.

I'm so happy now that they have a new location on california st, parking is much easier that the mission location. the pizza is always fresh, and delicious. The sausage pizza is amazing. And the staff is always friendly.
