Dumpling Story San Francisco Reviews
Went here for dinner on a Friday night, and was seated right away. Nice outdoor seatings with heat lamps. I ordered the funghi white pie pizza with added fennel sausage and gluten-free crust. It tastes so good. The Insalata Tricolored salad came with strips of thinly sliced parmesan cheese, and the grilled asparagus was perfectly cooked. The service was great!
Not just pizza, we had grilled corn with chilli butter, it was delicious and not too spicy. The cherry pie was a pizza (not sweet) that was delicious because the tomatoes on top were not cooked and it had ricotta cheese. Sounds weird but try it. We had a couple of great salads that that we all shared. It was a vegetarian meal but they graciously gave us a side of cooked pepperoni for the meat lover. The BEST dessert was a chocolate pudding that had whipped cream and chocolate nubs on top, it was light but chocolate satisfying. My mom went back for the cherry pie and corn the next day and she's so hard to please we had to coerce her to try them the night before! The waiting line looked long but went fast. Try it! The service was excellent!
Been coming to Delfina’s for years long before they opened up this location. This time we ordered artichoke hearts, arancini and a pizza. I also love their meatball side but my dinner companions weren’t feeling it that night. Their homemade lemonade was great too. Not too sweet just a bit tart and slightly fizzy.
The inside is pretty small so our party of 7 could only fit outside but it was a beautiful day. The service was friendly but somewhat slow but that can be explained by Delfina’s seeming to be fairly busy. And being busy because of great pizza. And the pizza is delicioussssss. We ordered almost every pizza on the menu and they were all good. 10/10 would reorder any but the mushroom was the top crowd pleaser. I would consider the pizza size as personal but 2 for 3 people w limited appetites is certainly feasible.
This is always one of our favorite places to eat pizza. Have been to other location in SF and Palo Alto, this is equally good . The crust is so thin light and airy that is the best part and the people are equally nice and welcoming. The day special Fried chicken was equally good, crunchy outside, little spicy and soft from inside
Great gourmet classic Naples thin crust pizza . Selection of pizzas offered can have add-ons to fit your tastes.
Pizza is pretty soggy in the middle and crispy on the edges. I would say that the ingredients are fresh but I'm a full pizza guy and this was light on the toppings. Overall the quality of the crust and toppings were pretty tasty and flavorful. However the texture took it back a step. I got the sausage one and it was just a fancy pizza wearing overalls. It was so close to being great but the texture was not it. No draft beers so that was sad. 8.0/10 PS pro tip - sign up for both defina and the spot down the street for wait lists.
Pizzeria Delfina in San Francisco serves superb thin-crust pies that balance Neapolitan-style blistered dough with New York–inspired toppings, using very fresh, seasonal ingredients. The Margherita, mushroom pizza and creative specials are especially flavorful, with a light, crisp base that never feels heavy. Service is friendly, the vibe is cozy neighborhood-style, and it is absolutely worth a visit if you love quality Italian pizza and a relaxed atmosphere
Good food with not so good service. They couldn't arrange for a bread for a 10 month old baby even though their menu includes sandwiches and toasts. I won't like to go back.
The staff is friendly and professional, location is nice, food (meh). I felt like everything was missing "something". The salad needed a little brightness, tasted like lettuce with unseasoned avocado (a little lemon or vinegar was definitely needed). The burrata was bland and tasteless.... even the arugala and prosciutto needed salting or sauce or something.... It was all just kind flat. 2 of the 3 stars are for the friendly staff, 1 for the food.
When the meatballs came, we asked our server to order a side of spaghetti to put in, specifically "just the noodles," and we received what we thought was a side of spaghetti because it was genuinely just spaghetti with some red sauce that seemed like it was from a jar--nothing else. Imagine our surprise when the check came and this spaghetti alone was $25. I kid you not, it was SO small and plain, and I totally understand paying SF prices for food, but this was bottom of the barrel spaghetti!! The hostess who came to dispute our complaint kept saying "we don't do side orders" when we explained that we thought we were getting a side order of spaghetti--even though we, again, were never told we were getting a full order and specifically asked for a side order. She also kept saying "You ATE a FULL order" in a way that literally felt like I was being fat-shamed when the dish was the size of my fist and I didn't even finish it. It was so strange. The lack of communication and the attitude we were met with was honestly disappointing for an otherwise cute place.
I visited Pizzeria Delfina today to pick up a DoorDash order, and the staff member who took my order asked to look at my phone. I found this very inappropriate and disrespectful — it made me feel like I was being treated as if I were a thief. What upset me even more was that an American customer before me was not asked to show or confirm anything, yet I was. This felt like a clear act of discrimination and racial bias. No one deserves to be treated differently or made to feel uncomfortable because of their background or accent. This kind of racist behavior should not be accepted in any workplace. I truly hope the management takes this issue seriously and ensures that all customers are treated equally and with respect.
I'm extremely disappointed because I waited 40 minutes for my order and they brought me a burnt pizza. I reported it, they gave me another one, and by the time the second pizza arrived, I'd already been an hour without eating. The taste was disappointing, so I ended up ordering it to go. To top it all off, the cashier, with all due respect, was incredibly rude. I definitely won't be back. (When things aren't done with care and love, this is what happens.) I went home hungry and with less money haha thanks
