"When Pasta Pomodoro was a household name, a friend of mine insisted on eating there every time the stars lined up. A routine meal included a starter salad followed by a sauced pasta. The meals were dependable and unimaginative, an Olive Garden-esque concept aimed at a more urban crowd. Or a less suburban crowd, depending on one's point of view."
"Earlier this month, Delarosa opened a fourth location in California Pizza Kitchen's former spot at the Stanford Shopping Center. A Delarosa pizza, I recently discovered, is made Roman-style. It's a super thin delight that gets crispy and slightly scorched on the edges with a pliable center that just barely holds its own as a vehicle for carrying ingredients to the mouth. We tried the capricciosa ($22), a red-sauced pizza topped with prosciutto, artichokes and wild mushrooms."
Pasta Pomodoro operated 15 Bay Area locations before closing for good in 2016, with employees notified by email. Founder Adriano Paganini later started Delarosa in San Francisco and expanded locations over time. Delarosa opened a fourth site in the former California Pizza Kitchen space at the Stanford Shopping Center. Delarosa produces Roman-style pizzas that are super thin, crisp at the edges and pliable in the center. The capricciosa ($22) is red-sauced and topped with prosciutto, artichokes and wild mushrooms, with the artichokes baked to remove bitterness. Delarosa sits within a growing artisanal thin-crust pizza scene.
