The 'Chronicle' on SF's Pizzeria Delfina (Pacific Heights)
A Margherita pie from the original Pizzeria Delfina location in the Mission District of San Francisco. Michael Bauer just dropped a review of the new Pacific Heights location. The San Francisco Chronicle's food critic, Michael Bauer, visits the Pacific Heights offshoot of Pizzeria Delfina. (The original Pizzeria Delfina is in the Mission District, where it opened three years ago next door to its progenitor, Delfina.) I had some great pizza at the Mission Pizzeria Delfina not too long ago, but Bauer's criticism—that it's inconsistent—echoes that of many of my pizza spies. Bauer says: After my first visit, when I...Openings: GoodPizza in San Francisco
"This pizzeria in the former SoMa Pizza spot is now open. The crust is thin, artisan style, and pizza pies are sold whole or by the slice. Calzones and fresh baked goods are also available for breakfast." 104 Seventh Street, San Francisco CA 94103 (at Mission Street; map); 415-626-8381 [San Francisco Chronicle]...U.S. Pizzaiolos Training Under Italian Master in California
NPR NPR had a nice little story this weekend about U.S. pizza champion Tony Gemignani and the pizza school he opened in Manteca, California. Last time I heard about Gemignani and his school, it had yet to open and he was looking to get a variance to install a wood-burning oven. Now he's brought in an Italian master—Graziano Bertuzzo: "He has the hands of a surgeon," [student Benito] Giordani said. "He takes his hand and puts it on top of yours, and he demonstrates how you push the dough out, how you roll it, how you ball it." The...Dear Slice: Check Out My Birthday Pizza Cake!
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got ... Hi Adam, Avid pizza eater, and Slice reader here. I stumbled upon this secret birthday cake that my girlfriend was trying to hide above the refrigerator last night. Yes, today's my birthday (and, no, this isn't a shameless self-promotion). Instead of angel food or chocolate cake, I'll be eating pizza. Possibly for dinner, too. We're familiar with local pizza spots in San Francisco, but do you have a "must go" for a birthday celebration? Thanks for your help, and long live pepperoni. —Chris C....Best Pizza in San Francisco, According to Michael Bauer
Michael Bauer, food critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, recently named his six favorite pizzerias in the Bay Area. Bauer has been writing a weekly blog post about San Francisco pizza for nearly a year now, usually with accompanying videos, and I guess he feels he has surveyed the field thoroughly enough to weigh in with a definitive list. Or maybe he's finally sick of pizza. There are some surprising names on the list, along with a few sure-to-be-controversial omissions. The omissions are sure to bring out a hornet's nest of protesters. They include Chicago-style Zachary's, the most popular...The Chronicle's Michael Bauer on Amici's in San Mateo, California
Michael Bauer, food critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, continues his Pizza Friday series on his blog Between Meals with a trip to Amici's East Coast–Style Pizza in San Mateo, California. Amici's makes what Bauer—and Amici's—calls an "East Coast–style" pizza....The Chronicle on Zuni Cafe's Pizza
I usually try to link to Michael Bauer's Pizza Friday series each week, but I neglected to last week, which is when he took a trip to Zuni Cafe in San Francisco. (Yesterday he went to Piatti, but it's a chainish place and I'd rather highlight a cool place like Zuni in this space.) Anyway, Zuni Cafe makes a "thin-crust Italian-style" pizza, according to Bauer. After the jump, a tasty video from the Chronicle....The Chronicle on A16 in San Francisco
Michael Bauer, food critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, continues his Pizza Friday series on his blog Between Meals with a trip to A16 in San Francisco. A16 makes a Neapolitan-style pizza that's been verfied as authentically Neapolitan by the "pizza police," aka the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. Bauer reports that the pizza went downhill after the original pizzaiolo, Christophe Hille, left two years ago. But, he says, the staff there, led by chef and co-owner Nate Appleman, has once again brought the product up to snuff....The Chronicle on Za Pizza, San Francisco
