  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
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 2014, Annie and Craig expanded into the Peninsula with Pizzeria Delfina in Palo Alto.

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.

    Made a reservation to celebrate my husband’s birthday and everything was perfect! We sat outside under their massive heaters (wasn’t too warm or too cold), had 2 pizzas and dessert (complete with a cute birthday candle), and service was friendly, attentive, and great!

    Comfortable place to hang out and have a pleasant, delicious meal with friends & family. Service was superb. Our waitstaff was always friendly & asking us if we needed anything. I would go back again. The outdoor seating was warm & inviting.

    First time at the Palo Alto location. Thank you to Melissa who answered all our questions. We split an Escarole Salad, Mussels and Funghi White Pizza (Hen of the Woods mushrooms, panna, fontina, nepitella). Highly recommend the Tiramisu!

    Wonderful meal. Appetizers and drinks were tasty. Everyone really loved the arancini. Pizzas were amazing as usual. It was very crowded but service still was good.

    Beer is very expensive for what you get. I paid $10 for an Hefeweizen and it wasn’t even a full pint. Pizza Margherita DOP is more expensive than non DOP version, but the buffalo mozzarella tastes worse than the fiordilatte, total opposite of what I expected given my experience. Place can be crowded and quite noisy. Not a good value for the money in my opinion

    We had 8 people in our party for my wife’s birthday. The staff was awesome and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend and I will be going back. My sister in law brought a cake in. They made sure to present it very nice then brought it back to slice it up. We had a great time.

    Outstanding food and service. The pizza is as good as it gets. The meatballs are excellent. Everything was great except I wish the tables weren’t as close together. You sit pretty close to the people on both sides of you.
