We went out last night for pizza to Tony’s Neopoltana in San Francisco. They make a wide variety of pizzas at a bunch of different temperatures in several different kinds of ovens. Thankfully, we got there fairly early, about 5:30 and got seated immediately, before the place got jam packed. By the time we left, there was a line out the door.
We ate outdoors. Their outdoor seating includes both tables and chairs on the sidewalk (old school) and seating in boxes constructed on the street where there used to be parking spaces. Tony’s is on a corner, one side being on a hill. When you sit inside the restaurant, the floors and tables are level. Outside, not so much, and I think it feels even more exaggerated in one of the boxes. You can see how much the street drops in the water glass. We weren’t concerned anything would slide off the table, and it’s not as extreme as some places we’ve been (and perhaps you too!), but still, it was fun.
I went for the double roasted garlic bread with marinara, nduja and agave/garlic. It’s the best garlic bread I’ve ever had. No kidding, and the agave/garlic dipping sauce… Unbelievable! Of all the things I’ve tried on their menu, it’s hands down my favorite!
I also ordered their Manhattan calzone with mozzarella, garlic, sliced meatballs and ricotta. I ordered it deep fried. I’d never had a calzone that was deep fried. Not a big hit at our table. I don’t think I would have liked it any better had I chosen the baked option. Also served with marinara sauce (which is delish!).
The main event was the New Yorker, in the Coal Fired section, topped with sliced mozzarella, hand crushed tomato sauce, cup & char pepperoni, sliced italian fennel sausage, calabrese sausage, ricotta, chopped garlic & oregano. It’s cooked in a coal fired oven at 1000ºF and is 19-20". Fucking delicious! And the bone was so amazing!
Two hungry little piggies before dinner. Mrs. mota’s arms are too short to get my entire beard in the shot.
And a little cold snack this afternoon. Pretty good!
Sounds a like a great day! Those watermelon marks look suspicious though
Aawww what a pair of cuties!!
It was a really lovely day! Not being the driver, however, remains an interesting proposition.
No kidding. Cut the dang melon in half and that’s what I found! I couldn’t believe it!
