Pizza Politana, SF, CA - Pepperoni Pizza
In this place’s defense I was there pretty early and the oven probably hadn’t come all the way up to temp. At least I hope that was the case as otherwise they turn out sub-par pizza given the head-start of wood fired oven.
I’m not a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza, in fact there’s only two such places that I’ve ever bothered to go to more than once; once in Seattle and the other you’ll find a review of on this site in the near future. Things started out pretty good, a nice chewy moist cheese and very interesting/distinct pepperoni, but that was all this pizza had going for it. The crust was only somewhat browned on the bottom and generally dough-y. The edge was charred to the point of burnt in several spots. It wasn’t like the pizza was horrible or anything, but it was a pretty big disappointment given the (oven) potential. I won’t be back unless I just happen to be in the area and starving for pizza, really I’ll probably just go with something else at the Thursday Farmer’s Market, perhaps Tacolicious.
