"Pizzetta 211 is thin-crust pizza royalty. The lowkey Richmond spot earns the title based on evenly golden-brown crust alone. What goes on the pies depends on what’s in season, and rotates every other week. So expect super fresh ingredient combinations like gooey eggs and asparagus or braised short rib with garlic confit. The pies serve one, but the ideal way to eat here is to come with a date or a few friends and split as many as will fit on the table (which could mean ordering all six pizzas). And save room for dessert—the dense flourless chocolate cake is a neighborhood gem, as is anything with their brown butter shortbread." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"We wouldn’t be surprised if actual sorcery was involved in the making of Pizzetta 211’s flourless chocolate cake. The dense slice at this cozy Richmond spot has a subtle touch of almond flavor, and the dollop of whipped cream ties every bite together. It’s the perfect cap to a night that should also involve lots of wine and multiple thin-crust pizzas topped with farm eggs and corn." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"When you go to Pizzetta 211 in the Richmond, there’s a 70% chance you’ll be sitting outside because the parklet has about double the amount of seats as the shoebox-sized dining room. But don’t worry about your teeth chattering while digging into their excellent seasonal pies. Well-worn blankets are aplenty, so snag one and swaddle yourself up. It’ll keep you comfortable enough to stay a little longer and stick around for whatever seasonal dessert is stealing the show that day. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
"Adorably petite Pizzetta 211 embraces true seasonality, with pizzas that change by the nanosecond to incorporate the best of what’s growing. The wait times can be long, but the cute 12-inch pies, like the white pie with rosemary and fiore sardo, are great. Stop by any day but Tuesday to pick up a pie or dine outdoors." - Lauren Saria
"Dinner at this walk-in only spot feels like eating a meal in a friend’s (tiny) home. There are only four indoor tables, and a roving restaurant dog that keeps folks company while they wait—and there will be a wait. But it’s worth it, because the snappy, seasonal pizzas here will make you pledge your allegiance to thin crusts for the rest of time. Also get your hands on their flourless chocolate cake, which is dense and not too sweet. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
