We regularly go to Pizarro's, but they are a little pricey. Yhere have been several new pizza places that had recently been written up in the Chronicle, so we tried several. Sadly, after my experiences, I now have a whole lot less trust in the Chronicle when it comes to food. Recently tried: Gold Tooth Tony's- disappointing. They seem to think a lot of cheese makes up for other shortcomings. And it wasn't even very good cheese. We tried Betelgeuse Betelgeuse. The bottom of our pizza was burned, and as we left, we noticed almost everyone's was too. Also, the two cocktails I tried tasted like a punishment. The outside looked like a nice place to hang out, but the food really leaves room for improvement. Lastly, we tried Via 313 ( also advertised as Detroit style pizza). They had only been open a couple of weeks when we tried them, but to even be in the same stratosphere with Pizarro's, they would really have to up their game. So, after all that research, we are back to Pizaro's as our favorite pizza place.
Since this is supposed to be a review for Pizaro's I would say the 8 Mile is fabulous and we rarely go there without getting one. But eat it there,,it is much better right out of the oven. The patata y funghi with a fried egg was surprisingly almost everyone's second favorite pizza. I didn't expect to like it, we were just getting it to try something unusual, but it became a favorite. Also, one that you need to eat there, and very quickly after you get it. Do not let this one sit!!!
Lastly, I do have one criticism. Don't bother getting salad there. The pricing for the salad is high and it is not their forte. Skip the salad and just enjoy the pizza! You can eat your greens tomorrow!
