Montesacro Pinseria - SoMa

TL;DR: You have to experience the food here and ask about the history and culture of the this beautiful restaurant. Apparently the only ‘Pinsa’ place in the vicinity.
Possibly the country.
It’s the apparently the Roman interpretation of a Pizza or a Flatbread.
A sort of a cousin to Pizza. Tastes freaking awesome.
The fluffy yet well done bread, sauce, cheese were great.
Has to be had while hot and fresh. I appreciate the effort put into the aesthetic and vibe of the place.
Apparently owned by an art collector. Great service by Cassius who guided us through the history of Pinsa and the art works of this beautiful restaurant.

This place has the best taste and quality pizza in the city.
It’s a single portion sized pizza, enough for one person to be full.
The girl who answered all my questions name Livia was pleasantly nice and gave me some background on the food and place.
It’s not in the best neighborhood, even for the daytime and parking can be hard to find.
Will definitely come back to try all the pizzas.

surrounding area is sketchy so be careful getting to the restaurant, but once inside, the interesting and welcoming interior makes up for it.
service is also friendly with waiters frequenting the table for water refills.
food itself is good but mostly forgettable - pinsa crust and polpo were the best part.
overall, not rushing to come back but enjoyed the pinsa. cavofiori: wasn’t a huge fan.
cauliflower lacked some flavor and texture. polpo: some of the best octopus i’ve tried.
not rubbery at all, great char and grilled flavor and the lemon acidity cut through the richness.
must try. maranella pinsa: crust is top tier but thought it lacked some sauce.
wasn’t too big of a fan of the broccolini but enjoyed the burrata and sausage.
