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.

We had a celebration dinner at Twelvemonth for three generations of our family, and it was so wonderful. The restaurant was able to accommodate two challenging diets (a strict gluten-free diet and a picky kid, who loved the kids menu). Our server, Furkan, was attentive and kind and anticipated our every need. Two people in our party had never been to a vegan restaurant and both remarked, afterward, that they didn't know that vegan food could be so tasty and filling (I agree!). My mom said it was on of the best meals of her life. Thank you, Twelvemonth!!

Still a favorite. Spaghetti wasn’t as epic as usual. Pizza and Tricolor salad were great. Surprised not to see more Italian red wines by the glass on the menu.
