The Chronicle on A16 in San Francisco

Real Neapolitan pizza is not crisp. I just got back from Naples and had pizza at DaMichele, DiMatteo, Presidente, Brandi, and Trianon and all pizza was consistently good, but no Crispness to the crust.

@ f r y The thought crossed my mind after reading The Slicemeister's review of your place and thinking about Pizzeria Delfina. Thanks to you and Maven for clearing that up. Now if I could only find an excuse to get back out there to check out those ten wood burners. And your well worn gas beauty of course.

Ciao,

@Paulie: I don't think there's a paucity of wood-burning ovens here. I think I could name about 50 places in the BA that make wood-fired pizza. That's about 1 per every 85k people. At a similar per-capita density, Brooklyn would have about 30. I don't know if it has more or less than that.

Maybe 10 in the BA are worth going to (in this 1 man's opinion).

E Gad Man!...I guess it happens..i loved the two pies i had there...at least you do have excellent choices but i did like A16 better than Delfina....Gialina was full of flavor,no doubt, but i prefer the A16 crust...I did finish my crust by dipping it in the oil and extraneous sauce..MMMMMMMM
@judgefudge...for some reason, in all the years i lived in SF(80s) and in all my subsequent visits i never tried Golden Boy..I will next time i'm there...thanks for the rec...god knows SF should have a good slice joint.

my A16 experience was less than stellar. the crust was just bland. dead in the flavor department. toppings were pretty good, but the funghi was too dry, and the crust on that one was also tough getting near the edges. as a man who generally just can't help himself from cleaning up the table when it comes to food scraps—especially pizza—i couldn't bring myself to finish it.

there seem to be plenty of other pizzerias in SF to head to these days. pizza nostra, delfina, gialina, and the new one with every variety of pizza known to man on the menu...

Great review. Also, I think SF has at least one quality slice Joint: Golden Boy in North Beach. It is a non traditional slice, but truly amazing none the less.

According to this he's working for Annie Lebowitz. I hope his resume is up to date:

@ohmygod..well, the sauce does tend to make those Neapolitan crusts sog and sag some, at least compared to "NY style" pizzas....that said i found the crust on the margherita to be just right and perfect for dipping in sauce or oil...the sauce i found to be very fresh tasting and simple...these pies just dont normally come heavily spiced...the mozz comes from one of the best cheesemakers around...Ultimately, i guess it was either a bad night or a case of different palettes and different expectations....pies i get at Mozza here in LA tend to really explode with spices & flavors..garlic, salt ....the Neapolitan pies at A16, Antica here in LA tend to be simpler..
@maxrialdi....whats fds mean besides feminine deod.spray?
@canerosso....i think that is heresy...the Grand Inquisitor has sceduled an appt for you in the near future...isuggest that,like Galileo, you recant....otherwise no more pizza for you!
