Pizzeria Delfina - Palo Alto: Authentic Neapolitan Pizza Experience

Nice Italian pizza restaurant and good pasta. Patio seating was nice during the day

A friend brought me to this restaurant and I enjoyed the food so much that I took my family back there a few days later. The pizzas were excellent! The crust was so light and crispy. I feel this was the best pizza crust I've ever had! The appetizers were all so good. The restaurant appeared to be under renovation so there was only seating outside which was nice still. The server was great to make recommendations and was pleasant. I will definitely return when I visit the area again.

Feliz cumpleaños a Clara! We came for Valentines Day and they gave us the cutest candy hearts and a heart hair clip. It’s Clara’s Bday and she bought the cutest gifts to give away! Always amazing service and food! Shout out to our bartender!

Lovely! Friendly servers. We sat at the bar and the bartending gentleman with glasses was very good to us. Food was delicious and my husband loved his beer. Some inside seating but seems like the real atmosphere is in the lovely courtyard outdoor seating. We didnt have a reservation. Also struggled a bit with parking and parked a few streets away.

The dining experience here was flawless , excellent food, customer service and atmosphere. We were seated at the outdoor seating and we loved the vibe , perfect for any occasion. We ordered the Escarole salad and it was not only fresh , it left us craving for more . Saffron arancinis were melt in the mouth .The bitterness of broccoli rabe married well with the cheese in the pizza , it was a very delicious unique pizza. We will definitely go back for this pizza .

Went here with family for dinner recently to get some pizza. We shared 2 different pizzas. Both were really good, and had great flavor. Service was fast and pizzas came out pretty quick. My only concern I had there was a table next to us that they decided to split into 2 tables for 2 different groups. They placed the table so close to our table that I couldn't get out and unfortunately had to ask the table to move there table....im a petite size so for any other person it would have been extremely uncomfortable. I hate that I had to ruin the dinner of the table next to us.

Tried this place two times now, and both experiences were uniqely 5 stars, so it's time to write a review! SERVICE: Shoutout to Artem, who has been our waiter both times. He was so attentive, friendly, and helpful. The menu here changes so when we came a second time, we didn't see our faves-- he was so flexible and helped us get our fave pizza even though it was off menu! FOOD: The pasta here is insane! Portions are good for 1-2 people, I actually ate the whole bowl myself (hehe!). I've tried both their lemon pasta and their pesto. The pesto reminded me of a green goddess sauce, full of veggies and so light. The pizzas were also excellent, our favorite is the Amatriciana. I also loved their Funghi pizza which was crisp and full of flavor. I would reccomend asking your waiter for the hot pizza oil for a spicy drizzle. AMBIENCE: The outdoor terrace is so quaint and cute, with lots of trees and plants to make you forget you're even near the street. The interior is also adorable with lots of blue and gold detailing.

After spending the morning in a baking class with my niece, we decided to grab some pizza. I knew she enjoyed it, and since she had never been to Pizzeria Delfina — it felt like the perfect choice for our girls’ lunch. I first discovered them at their original San Francisco location 15 years ago, and later enjoyed meals at their Palo Alto spot. It’s been a while since I’d been back, mostly because there are so many other dining options when I’m in Palo Alto. But today felt like the right time to revisit, and introduce her to it. When we arrived, the interior was under construction, but their patio was open with heaters, so we sat outside. We were definitely hungry, so we ordered a farm-to-table salad, their famous meatballs as an appetizer, and then shared a pizza. Both my niece and I agreed — the crust was fantastic. As someone who travels to Italy frequently for work and has had the pleasure of trying many authentic pizzas there, I can confidently say that Pizzeria Delfina’s crust holds its own. It was thin, crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor — just perfect. My niece, who is becoming quite the budding foodie herself, really loved it too. I’m sure she’ll be back, and I’m so happy we shared this experience. Parking in Los Gatos can be hit or miss, depending on the time of day, but we were lucky and found a spot nearby. The restaurant is located right off the main street, with parking lots close by. The vibe is upscale casual — nothing stuffy — and sometimes it’s just nice to enjoy a simple, delicious meal that isn’t overly complicated. Service was wonderful: attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. We’ll definitely be returning more often — highly recommend!
