"San Francisco is known for excellent Neapolitan-style pizza, with pillowy and chewy doughs blistered in roaring ovens. But Palo Alto started throwing down when Terún moved into town. With a wood-fired oven that’s stoked and burning bright, these pies are the real deal, as certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, otherwise known as the pizza police." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Becky Duffett
"Terún is a white-tablecloth pizza and pasta spot that works great when parents are visiting, you’re with a picky eater who will only accept a margherita pizza, or you’re just looking for a place to eat outside and sip on a spritz. Is the rigatoni mindblowing? No, but the pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce is tangy. Order a crispy Neapolitan-style pie for the table, share a pasta or two, and do your best to pretend you’re off the Amalfi coast and not off of the sidewalk of California Ave. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez

"Terún was born 10 years ago from a mission to make the best Neopolitan pizza in California. Though the name of the restaurant insinuates a more pejorative term toward people of Southern Italy, the founders wanted to redefine that word — paying homage to their hometown with a classic Italian menu of pasta, steak, fish, cocktails, and a great selection of wines. The wood-fired pizzas are the stars of the show, as they feature imported salsiccia, mozzarella, and tomato sauce, along with the high-quality Farina Petra flour. Customers also frequently order the gnocchi in taleggio cheese sauce, brussel sprouts, rigatoni bolognese, and short rib ravioli." - Cathy Park
