Review: Tony’s Pizza Napoletana
Question: Where do you go for perfect pizza pie in San Francisco? My answer would be Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in North Beach. This sensational Italian favorite has eclipsed other pizzas I have had ANYwhere! The menu could be daunting in its many choices, but go straight to the section on pizza and prepare for a treat.
First, we started with a Caesar salad and that set the tone for excellence. The Romaine lettuce was dressed with a mild version of the usually garlicky mix. Instead, the anchiovies are on top as fresh fillets of fish that added a briny lemony flavor. Then the decision to choose the Margherita pizza was confirmed “the best” by the statement “World pizza cup winner Naples, Italy 2007.” The dough was finished by hand using caputo red flour then proofed in napoletana wood boxes, San Marzano tomatoes, sea salt, mozzarella fior di latte, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil.
The 900 degree temperature of the wood fired oven produced our thin crust pie in 60-90 seconds. The new dough rounds brought from the kitchen were still bubbling with yeasty aliveness before being stretched and prepared for cooking. The tomatoes come from Italy for the sauce and even the side of meatballs was authentic in taste and texture.
Be sure to meet Jules, the “Italvinogal” for wine recommendations. And grazie, Tony. You have now raised the pizza bar to new heights!
