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.

Customers may sit back and admire the open floor plan, 20-foot ceilings, and wrap around windows, as fresh chops are sizzling on a grill. The cuisine is European inspired and high quality American, made of locally sourced, sustainable and organic ingredients whenever possible. The restaurant offers full bar as well as a variety of American and European wines that range from traditional Napa pours to biodynamic options with high evaluation range.

we had a wonderful experience with the Chef’s Tasting Menu. you get the best seats to watch chefs while they prepare the amazing dish. we were family of four. The dishes were excellent, offering a perfect pairing with wine. The staff were incredibly accommodating to our kids, especially when some dishes were marinated in wine they provided a substitute. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and took the time to explain each dish in detail, making the evening even more special.
