All of their brunch options are very fun. Breakfast pizza, breakfast pasta - two things that wouldn't come to mind but that are amazing. Also lemon ricotta pancakes are to die. Pizzas are also a+
tablehopperAugust 3, 2014I couldn’t say no to the salsiccia, which came with pickled jalapeños that nestled deeply into the tomato sauce, cheese, and pecorino. I have one word for this pizza (because my mouth is full): dude. Read more
7x7 MagazineOctober 30, 2012Their breakfast pizza is amazing: a mozzarella and provolone pie with Sweet Mariquita tomatoes, sliced red onion, hot chili flakes, 5 crinkled strips of Neuske bacon, and two golden fried eggs. Read more
Amy BOctober 20, 2015Gem! Felt like I was in NYC. Lively "late" (for SF) with excellent pizza. Beer & wine only. Try the Milano.- tablehopperAugust 3, 2014If you’re flying solo, there’s a long marble counter that overlooks the kitchen where you can happily enjoy your pizza and don’t have to share it with anyone. It’s that kind of pizza. Read more
Come for the pizza; stay for the delicious and inventive Italian plates. And do NOT miss brunch here; but for lack of espresso, it's easily one of the best around.
Tasting TableJune 20, 2012Don’t let the pizza define the experience. Order fried squid, broccoli and spring onions, sided by a big dollop of aioli: Read more
Decent pizza, served in a spartan space w reclaimed wood, concrete floors & filament bulbs. Worth a trip if you are in the 'hood. Avoid dinner crowds. Eat there for lunch. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Nick AyresMarch 19, 2014Amazing Julian pizza - just the right amount of everything. And the late afternoon music (Prince) was awesome!
Brandon LandJanuary 6, 2015Dope spot, great food. It was a little crowded at dinner. Bar seating was a little tight and awkward.
Sam November 12, 2016The pizza isn't the best crust I've ever had, but the wine and gnocchi were great!
PILAR PRENDESJune 13, 2015Deli pizza!!!! An a great especial hamburger on Wednesday!!! Also very good wine!
Maria FangrasNovember 26, 2012The food here is as amazing as the team that serves it and the chefs who prepare it, thanks guys!!!!!
Jack JenkinsJune 30, 2014Excellent authentic Italian style pizza. There isn't much room for customisation if you are fussy though.
The pizza is great. But there are a lot of problems with the service. I'm the Mayor here. And even I'm saying that.
Anne WaliczekMay 6, 2012Love Love Love the asparagus/egg appy and softshell crab--skirt steak and julian pizza!! Great vibe
The fresh handmade pasta is out of this world. Venture beyond the pizza!
- Rick HApril 19, 2012I had the Prosciutto slice and the Anchovy slice; neither disappointed. Counter seating is surprisingly comfortable, esp. if you're tall.
Amanda SApril 20, 2012Far too Marina for Russian Hill. But if you're 25 and blonde I'm sure you'll love it...
Pickle and olive plate is good but I don't see any nuts.
Andy GutierrezApril 2, 2013The food was alright, but he service has major issues. It took 20 minutes for anyone to take our order. then another 30 minutes for our food to arrive. We were one of 5 occupied tables.
Desigan ChinniahJune 22, 2014Julian pizza (and no signs of poor service noted by some others after visiting twice)
