Reviews
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!
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.
What we ordered
Porchetta 4 / 5 Nicely seasoned, juicy, good crackling—easily the best bite of the night.
Pinsa “Grottaferrata” 2 / 5 Arrived lukewarm and dripping oil; toppings felt flat.
Pinsa “Ponte Mammolo” 2 / 5 Same temperature and grease issues. Olive‑oil flavor absent, crust lacked the airy lightness pinsa is known for.
Strawberry Tiramisu (off‑menu “special”) 2 / 5 No espresso‑soaked ladyfingers, just strawberry cream with chocolate chips. Portion: one small square. Price: $20—hard to view as anything but a gouge.
(We both felt queasy after dinner.)
Service & Hygiene
Our server was friendly but repeatedly wiped tables with a bare hand, then handled plates and the POS screen without washing. That alone took the shine off the evening.
Most desserts fall between $6‑15, so the surprise $20 tiramisu stung. The pinsas, though generously sized, didn’t justify their mid‑$20s price tags given the execution.
Pro tip: Skip Stevenson Street between 5th & 6th on foot; the alley’s smell and hazards can sour an already mediocre evening.
Overall rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2 / 5)
