Inspired by the best pizza of New York City and Naples, Italy. In 2005, Annie and Craig Stoll annexed the space next door to their James Beard Award winning Delfina restaurant fulfilling a long time dream of bringing Neapolitan-inspired pizzas to San Francisco. The 600 square foot space was an instant neighborhood hotspot, and Pizzeria Delfina became the ""darling of the San Francisco food scene"" opening a second location in 2008 to popular demand. In December 2013, Annie and Craig expanded into the Peninsula with Pizzeria Delfina in Burlingame. This energetic, farmers-to-table restaurant serves up Neapolitan-inspired pizza complemented by a daily-changing roster of seasonal antipasti, piatti (small entrees), beer, wine and more. A family-owned business, Pizzeria Delfina is a neighborhood establishment through and through that continues to bring people together around fresh, handmade, delicious food in a warm, casual atmosphere.

Thanksgiving Day here is great. They have the traditional turkey plate if you want that--it was the nicest looking Thanksgiving plate I've ever seen--but they also have a full-range menu of fish, meat, pasta and salad. A very diverse menu for an "Italian" restaurant.

A real neighborhood gem. There were several large parties, and lots of small table. The decor is comfortable and colorful. The service is very friend, even when they are very busy. The food is spectacular! Try mixing the spicy pickles into your dishes (just be ready for heat).
