Delicious pizza with a special recipe dough. It's just a little bit different, but not blatantly obviously so. Regardless it's delicious! Great friendly knowledgeable service. Wildly interesting eclectic decor, especially the washroom. The neighbourhood is a little more gritty but not dangerous by my accounts, and there are neighbourhood ambassadors around as well.
I love this place because I love the food an the cool spaces. But be forewarned, the "pizza" is a very particular recipe with a flour that does not appeal to all palates. You want perfect, classic pizza in San Francisco? That's what Il Casaro, Delfina and above all A16 are for. You want a low-fi amazing hipster food experience with a ridiculous wine book? Where you might run into other hipsters braving the 6th street scene? With a roof deck? And cool music? Where you'll probably not run into and have to deal with you straight-world friends? You come here. BTW before any of you all decide to criticize my taste and my exquisite pizza-palate a word of warning: you roll up on the king you best not miss. You go pizza toe to pizza toe against me? And YOU will LOSE! ..... and then I'll take you out for pizza. Anyway, come here and enjoy the eclectic old-school vibe and the really terrific food. Montesacro is truly a hidden, discreet pocket of a different kind of San Francisco goodness. Mangia.
We absolutely loved dining here! The pesto and the eggplant with red pepper pinsas were outstanding, and the cauliflower salad appetizer was bursting with flavor. The atmosphere has a charming vintage feel that makes the place so inviting, and the staff’s kindness made the experience even better. Can’t wait to visit again!
Super tasty Roman-style pizza (with a great selection of antipasti too) served in a cozy, gorgeous space. I stopped by Montesacro SoMa with a friend for a weekend dinner after receiving multiple recommendations for this spot from several coworkers / friends. I got there a few minutes early, so I was immediately struck by how cozy and intimate the store felt; the staff seemed relaxed but on top of their game, and I loved that you could somewhat (but not quite...to preserve the mystery of it all) see the kitchen work their magic with a partially visible container of prepared dough, slightly exposed assembly counter. I love the walls of wine bottles, random chandeliers, and deli counter -- it genuinely felt like I was back in Rome. For food, we started with the Sottoli, a plate of beautifully EVOO-marinated vegetables (red bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and eggplant), topped with a bit of chili and parsley. I loved the simplicity of this antipasti; the veggies were super flavorful and delicious. It's a great vegetarian or gluten-free choice, but you can also get an order of their bread if you'd like to bulk up this appetizer. The veggies were delicious on their own, but also went wonderfully with the main star of the show, the pizza. We got their margherita just so we could compare this classic vs. other pizza joints, and they certainly did not disappoint. The tomato sauce was flavorful, with just the right mix of herbaceous, savory, acidic, and sweet, and the pizza was topped with a generous portion of melty mozzarella and basil. I love that they fully lean into the Roman-ness of their restaurant by serving the more ovular pinsa, with a slightly thicker, chewier crust and highlighting local Roman ingredients. Now that I've confirmed their margherita pizza (or, rather, pinsa) is 10/10, I can't wait to go back and try their other options!
Wow! I've often walked past this place and seen people eating at the sidewalk tables. A friend suggested we have lunch there today and what a surprise! The pizza special was delicious. It's a cool spot, almost feels like you're in Italy. And the service is exceptional -- as good as you'll get in any restaurant. I look forward to going back.
