Pizzeria Delfina

delfina1.jpg

Pizzeria Delfina is one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco for their near-perfect pizzas, fabulous wine selection and eclectic array of appetizers.  I tend to be pretty stubborn when it comes to trying new things, but the pig ears with lime and chili oil were truly life changing.  It’s a nice reminder that the safe choice is not always the most fulfilling.

Pig’s ears??! Everything else looks wonderful (especially the pizza), so I guess it makes sense to try them!

It’s right about time for a midnight snack, and I never thought pigs ears would make my mouth water. Looks like a great place!

Wow, that all looks so good! I think anything would taste good with lime and chili oil ~ I would have eaten those ears up without even thinking :)

Delfina is one of my favorite places in SF along with Beretta in the Mission–amazing arugula/burrata/prosciutto pizza!!

I love Pizzeria Delfina! And all of the places around it–Tartine & Dolores Park Cafe for a smoothie and sometimes a cobb salad, and all of the delicious pupuserias all along 18th Street. Your post made me miss San Francisco so much.

10 Lainey { 12.30.09 at 2:04 am }

17 Vanessa { 12.30.09 at 6:32 am }

I’ve never tried pigs’ ears. But hey, I eat bacon, so why not ears?

18 Jewell { 12.30.09 at 6:50 am }

22 Couture Cookie { 12.30.09 at 8:02 am }

Wow…. no pig ears for me, but the rest looks yummy!

23 Sara { 12.30.09 at 8:36 am }

If that’s the location on Fillmore, I live 4 blocks from there! Pizzeria Delfina is my some of the best pizza I’ve ever had (even it Italy). My roommates and I go weekly!

24 Amanda { 12.30.09 at 8:40 am }

I had that same Margherita pizza when I was in town last month and it blew my mind. Wasn’t the crust the best thing you’ve ever tasted?

25 southern hostess { 12.30.09 at 8:47 am }

I love a brave eater! This looks like an incredible meal.

26 Nicole Marie { 12.30.09 at 9:18 am }

30 TheBeautyFile { 12.30.09 at 10:16 am }

This is just, totally speechless…if I ever happened upon a place that served meat with breadsticks at the bar, they would have to bring in a crane to lift me away…..
I can’t wait to try it!!

Happy holidays!

36 Erin { 12.30.09 at 12:42 pm }

wow. i’m not an adventurous eater at all, but those pig ears look delicious.

37 K { 12.30.09 at 12:46 pm }

As good as they look, I would probably only try the pig ears if someone tricked me into eating them.

38 Aimee { 12.30.09 at 1:16 pm }

Your pictures are truly a love letter to San Francisco. I haven’t been there in a while and I’m dying to go now…

Pig ears…I live in the midwest and haven’t heard of them here– but they sound and look amazing!!!

I just licked my screen. mmmmm….

42 julie { 12.30.09 at 6:50 pm }

Delfina is good. I always wash it down with a scoop of organic Bi-Rite ice cream across the street. Yum! So cool you’re from San Francisco!!

43 vanessa { 12.30.09 at 7:16 pm }

Oooh YUM! All of it! :)

47 Anne @ The City Sage { 12.31.09 at 1:16 pm }

Yay for Delfina! That intersection of 18th and guerrero is just blocks from my house and on my running route. i never know what’s worse: running in the morning and getting the smells from tartine, or running in the evening and getting the smells of pizza from delfina. not that i’m complaining!

have a happy new year lovely–thanks for all the gorgeous inspiration in 2009 :)

48 Living Fly on a Dime { 12.31.09 at 2:45 pm }

Now I’m hungry after looking at the yummy eats. Never had pig ears before, but I’d give ‘em a try!

49 Karen { 12.31.09 at 7:34 pm }

That platter looks delicious!

50 Mrs. Sitcom { 12.31.09 at 9:18 pm }

Life-changing, huh? Just might get me to try pigs’ ears after all….

51 ali { 01.02.10 at 1:51 am }

52 Nimue { 01.03.10 at 11:20 am }

53 Jill { 01.03.10 at 11:23 am }

MMM this was our first stop when I was in San Francisco this past summer! Soo delicious, and the perfect meal to fend off post-plane hunger pangs.

54 Runway Hippie { 01.04.10 at 8:40 am }

THIS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE!!! So yummy!!! Whenever I am hiouome, my family and I always go there when we are too lazy to cook and want a cozy restaurant with delicious food.

55 Christina { 01.04.10 at 9:40 am }

OH this makes me hungry.
I’m ready to get my italian on now :]
Thanks for sharing Emily.

xoxo

56 Leah { 01.04.10 at 10:22 am }

I recently had fried pig ears too at the restaurant I work at part-time… I must admit, pretty tasty.

57 Alycia { 01.04.10 at 10:14 pm }

Those pig ears look delicious and right now they are making me hate that I am on the East Coast.

58 caitlindentino { 01.25.10 at 12:35 pm }

When I am in SF it is one of my favorite places to eat…among many, many god choices. I always go for the broccoli rabe pizza, but I am hoping next time I am there the pig ears will be on the menu. I love trying new things – thanks for the tip!!
