Pizzetta 211, SF, CA - Pizza
Great (pizza) date place in a quite little strip in The Richmond. It shouldn’t be too hard to find parking in the neighborhood, but it’s a small place and they don’t take reservations so you might have to wait a bit for a table. There’s a weekly menu with a set of regular pizzas. The general style is Neapolitan, but it’s not going to satisfy the purist. Pizetta 211 was one of a handful of Bay Area pizza stops mentioned in American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza
The crust is this, crispy, browned but not charred. The dough itself doesn’t have much flavor, but there’s a bit there. As for toppings it varies (a lot) based on the pie you order. We ordered a margherita and another (weekly) that I don’t remember the specific name of (it involved pesto rather than red-sauce, pancetta, heirloom tomatoes, and parmesan cheese.) The margherita was pretty flat, I didn’t really care for the drizzled pesto and the flavors just didn’t pack enough in to the simple pizza to make it memorable enough for me to order it again. The other pie was much more interested and tasty. The thinly sliced tomatoes were fresh and fruity, the parmesan was nicely salty, the pesto when cooked tasted great – everything just worked well together. I have no real complaints about 211, it’s on on my list of best places or somewhere I have to take a friend who’s in to pizza when they visit, but I like it a lot and will happily accompany my girlfriend there any time I can convince her to go.
