"At this North Beach pizza spot, your table will likely be filled with fantastic charred pizzas and god-tier mozzarella sticks, but their soft serve is the most unmissable dish. There are two options: fior di latte and salted caramel, and the toppings are what make a swirl of the two frozen dessert royalty. You can choose from fancier-than-average toppings like brown butter cereal crunch, a sweet-tangy stone fruit jam, and olive oil and sea salt—there’s no way to go wrong." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Formerly in the Mission and now in North Beach, Flour + Water Pizzeria excels in the art of the grown-up pizza party. Red and white pies on thin blistered crusts are paraded around the airy dining room like show dogs—go for the Hawaiian that’s got a sizable kick from dollops of chili crisp, or a cacio e pepe pie that gushes with pecorino crema. Endlessly stretchy mozzarella sticks belong on every table, too. And much like any good pizza party, their thick soft serve makes for an ideal finish." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"An evening at Flour + Water Pizzeria in North Beach feels like a fifth-grade end-of-year pizza party but for grown-ups. Instead of half-melted Otter Pops, the sweet treat that awaits is a bowl of some of SF’s best soft serve. Get swirled of fior di latte and salted caramel that goes along great with the stone fruit jam, brown butter cereal crunch, and olive oil and sea salt." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Flour + Water Pizzeria—not to be confused with Flour + Water Pizza Shop—was formerly in the Mission, but it got a chic makeover when it made the move to North Beach. The shiny, much larger restaurant (by the Flour + Water people, naturally) has leather booths, boozy slushies, and a big glass “dough room.” The menu at this nice-casual spot is mostly the same, which is excellent news for fans of fantastic red and white pies with crispy crusts, creamy soft serve, and god tier mozzarella sticks, which are gooey enough to necessitate a wingspan-length cheese pull." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Nothing screams “kid-friendly” like piles and piles of fried cheese, and that’s exactly what you can get at Flour + Water Pizzeria. The North Beach restaurant excels in the mozzarella stick department—the stretch factor is seriously impressive, and they pair perfectly with the side of chunky marinara sauce for dipping. There are a bunch of big tables and booths to pile into, or bar seating if you want to show your toddler the pizza life cycle as staff spin dough behind the counter. Other dishes we’re guessing your kids will enjoy here: any of the charred, bubbly pizzas, and, of course, the cups of soft serve topped with rainbow sprinkles for dessert." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
