What you're seeing is one of many masterpieces from Mozzarella di Bufala; A thin crust ground beef, basil, mushroom, and dried tomato pizza pie. Be forewarned that if you love these combinations of ingredients, you will consume this entire medium-sized pie to the neck...by yourself, and not feel guilty that you didn't save any for anyone! Sorry...
it gets like that sometimes. Mozzarella staff and atmosphere are quite relaxed and tranquil, either inside the cafe or outside in its spacious parklet.
You'll be happy that you stopped in for a delicious slice of life.
Peace people.

Thanks so much Shawn for the great review - so happy you love our pizza :)


If you’re not ordering pizza from Mozzarella di Bufala, you’re missing out on the best pizza in S.F.
I’ve been ordering pizza from here since the 80’s and it has always been my favorite.
Ordered a large Create-Your-Own this evening and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived (still hot btw).
Somehow they manage to consistently provide a top notch pizza, with excellent quality toppings in generous proportions.
The order was placed on line and they followed the order to the letter.
The delivery driver was super nice too. When so many restaurants have either closed or lowered their quality or their portion sizes since Covid, Mozzarella di Bufala continues to be the best.
Recommend highly!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for the continued support throughout the years Parker! We really appreciate that! We are very glad to hear your experience with us from when you ordered, to when you got the pizza was excellent every step of the way! Thank you again for your continued support! Pedro, Owner


The Cornmeal Crust Pizza is a must try.
As a Pizza elitist, the Corn Meal Crust Pizza with Black Olives was my go to from 2008 - 2010, which I ordered over 20 times.
In 2022, a mere 12 years from last possible eating of this Pizza I try it again.
This time plain cheese.
Phenomenal. Addendum: Review II - Detroit Style I wrote this message to the restaurant, "I LOVE your Cornmeal Crust Pizza, so I tried this because of that and because I am currently trying all Detroit Pizza in San Francisco.
I was surprised you guys have Detroit Style.
I just want to say, I hope you will improve your Detroit Style.
Your Cornmeal Crust is one of my favorite Pizzas after trying 65 Pizza Places in San Francisco alone.
I am enjoying your Detroit because I love you guys but it is the lowest quality Detroit Style I have tried in San Francisco objectively.
Please try Cellermaker House of Pizza to understand.
I want you to win." I will have to do a more in depth review of this entire place soon now.
The Detroit Style here is like a Focaccia.
I think you guys should learn how to make Detroit Style before you try to sell something that you consider to be it.
I don't think you need to even sell this.
It's distracting from the good stuff you can do.
This probably should be taken off the Menu until you guys have educated yourselves on Detroit Style.
Here are good places to go to learn: Cellarmaker House of PIzza, Joyride, Pizza Sqaured, Sunset Squares & Square Pie Guys - basically everyone else who makes Detroit Style in the City besides you guys. Cornmeal Crust = Exalted Must Try Pizza in San Francisco.
One Bite Pizza style score 7.1/10 Detroit Style = Pretty much is not Detroit Style at all.
One Bite Pizza style score 3.5/10

Tiaga, thank you for such an in depth and constructive review! We're happy to hear you're rooting for us, even if we stumbled out of the gate a little with our Detroit Style! Please come by again and let us know if we've improved as we have tweaked a few things we realized were not the way to go.
Thank you for your support and we hope to see you again!
