About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Charming
Neighborhood gem

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.

One of favorite restaurant in Palo Alto- go there very often Yesterday it was packed so our drinks got delayed , toppings on our pizza was missing Got extra cooked / Burnt in certain areas May be because it was super crowded but service and food was not like usual

We were out on the patio for the monthly pig roast. Delicious side dishes and dessert to go along with a perfectly roast pig. Can't recommend this event enough. And their pizzas are fabulous too!!

Perfect! They have an option to get a vegan pizza that’s not on the menu where you get to pick 3 toppings. Also they very kindly coordinated bringing out a surprise tiramisu with a candle for a special occasion!
