Pizzeria Delfina

December 30th, 2009

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 :)

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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…..

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

    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!!!

    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 :)
