Pizzetta 211: Better than most NY pizza


Deep in the Richmond District of San Fran, you'll find some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. And I've been searching all over NYC for the best slice. The tiny Pizzetta 211 has four tables and a counter. They make 6 kinds of individual pizzas, 3 constant and 3 that change every week. Me and Sam got the tomato, mozzarella and basil with whole white anchovies. The pizza was cooked to perfection, slightly charred on the bottom and the anchovies weren't the super fishy mini ones as you can see.


I loved how small the place was, and how they basically used the oven to make everything, from calzones to pear tarts. It was a tight operation in all senses of the word.

Simple and sophisticated, the menu is awesome, with 3 red wines and 1 white. I want to open a place just like this in Brooklyn.

a geezer jazz group from boston would compliment the brooklyn joint nicely.
