Ed, what do you think of Big Nick's on 76 and bway?

Just ate at the Delfina in Pacific Heights last week and it was excellent...A more in depth review is coming.Pizza in SF and the Bay Area is definitely way better than it used to be when i lived there...yum,yum

Just the other day, I was out to eat with my friends at Butterfly down on the piers, where I had the tender duck dish. Food was delicious, but what surprised me more was Butterfly’s partnership with StreetSmart4Kids. For those of you that don’t know, SS4K is a nonprofit organization, whose mission is to keep homeless teens off the street. The campaign they are running this year is called “Dine Out and Donate.” All you have to do is visit one of the participating restaurants around the city (visit www.streetsmart4kids.org for a list) and give a donation when you pay the check. It’s a really great way to give back to the community without the stress of doing strenuous community service labor. So next time you’re going out for a night on the town, check out SS4K’s restaurant list and kill two birds with one stone—eat great and do it for a great cause!

@NYMinknit: It's now been too long since I sampled Pizzaiolo to weigh in. It was good, but it didn't super-blow-me-away, so that's about all I can say right now.

Hi Ed, Pizzetta is actually Pizzetta 211. But calling it Pizzetta 213 is so charmingly non-San Franciscan that I think you should leave it. ;)

I think you're right about Pauline's. It's so Californian. I love it, but can totally understand when people don't love it.

I have only been to Picco once, but I didn't find it to be worth leaving the city for, preferring A16, Pizzetta 211, and P. Delfina.
