"A longtime stalwart in the San Francisco dining scene, Flour + Water is typically known for its fresh pastas, seasonal tasting menus, and creative antipasti. But there are usually a few pizza options on the menu too, and they are spectacular. So much so that we named Flour + Water as one of the best restaurants in the U.S. for wood-fired pizzas. The pie flavors are ever-changing, but the ingredients are always bright, inventive, and classically Californian."
"During her most recent visit, the pizza featured Sungold tomatoes, miso bagna cauda, peperonata, and buffalo mozzarella, all piled on top of bubbly, charred crust. Some other topping combinations have included honeynut squash and chili with caciocavallo cheese and castelvetrano olives, and guanciale pork with treccione cheese, spigarello, and shelling beans. It's Neapolitan-style pizza as good as it gets: slow-fermented dough, locally sourced ingredients, and plenty of subtle style."
Flour + Water produces wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas distinguished by slow-fermented dough, locally sourced ingredients, and inventive, bright toppings. The restaurant pairs a reputation for fresh pastas and seasonal tasting menus with a consistently excellent pizza offering, often featuring combinations such as Sungold tomatoes with miso bagna cauda, buffalo mozzarella, honeynut squash with caciocavallo, and guanciale with treccione and shelling beans. The flagship Mission location is formal and can be difficult to book, while a dedicated North Beach pizzeria opened in 2023 to provide a more accessible, popular neighborhood option for locals and visitors.
