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.

This was an unexpected "wow"! Very casual, clean and modern inside. Great service and easy to figure out how to grill etc. The shrimp was spicy and fabulous, I highly recommend the cabbage salad which had the best flavor.

Been meaning to try it. I ordered adobo rice(delicious),kare kare beef (melts in you mouth soft), pork belly and tofu (delicious),chicken and pork adobo ( some pork was super tender but not all), and egg plant with beef (delicious). Of course, for dessert, we order their leche flan (a must) and Ube panne cotta (love it). For drinks, we ordered the Tokyo sour ( a must try) and Pan daiquiri (eh) different but I will order the Tokyo sour again.

We were immediately seated upon checking in at the front desk. The staff was very friendly and gave us a selection of tables to be seated at. Waiter very quickly took our order. The food was delivered hot and ready to eat. Drink refills were taken care of without having to wait or ask. Overall our experience was just as expected. We have been to this particular restaurant many times and will continue to return.

Great food as always from the Delfina team, excellent meatballs, salads and pizza. A bit loud and not quite the same charm as the places in SF but the service and the food is comparable to the city.
