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.

Our server (wish I knew her name) was extremely courteous. She also had knowledge of the different items which helped us make our dining decisions. Food selections were paced well, wine was various Italian options that were very tasty (we loved the Grenache). It’s great to enjoy Neapolitan pizzas, chicken , pastas , espresso drinks in such a lovely environment but also casual if you’re not in a “dress up” mood.

Second visit to Delfina will be our last. Pizza was very good, service also pleasant and prompt. Then the check arrives and a 5% "owner mandate fee" is added in. I don't even know what that means, but it reeks of core mismanagement where the staff is not paid fairly or the owners just want to skim off the top. Either way, can't support a place that sneaks "mandates" onto a bill under some guise. There are plenty of other great pizzerias in the area that aren't pulling these sneaky up-charges.

The pizza is quite delicious but the ratio of actual pizza to crust is way too low. Two bites of a slice and you're already down to the crust. But the whole pizza is only $22. So you decide. The service staff never really came by to see how we were doing. They only dropped off our food. Fun environment. Lively. But the tables are also too close together. All in all, it's a nice place. Just not awesome, or at least that's how I saw it.
