"There aren’t many places in the city specializing in Roman-style pinsas, and the versions at Montesacro in SoMa are incredible. The crust is charred, bubbly, and light, making it entirely doable to have several pieces without sweating it out on the couch later. We love the maranella, which comes with spicy pork sausage, broccolini, and some of the creamiest burrata we’ve ever had. Also consider ordering the tormarancio that has thinly sliced soppressata and very thick tomato sauce." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Montesacro in SoMa is the perfect group dinner spot before a show at the nearby Orpheum—it has extra-long tables that can handle an entire entourage. And the oblong Roman-style pinsas are light, airy, and the ideal sustenance for gossip sessions with your roommate’s partner’s neighbor friend. All pizzas topped with burrata are an instant hit, but we also love the tormarancio with soppressata and very thick tomato sauce. Not in SoMa? Their Marina location is also big-group-friendly." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Montesacro stands out for its oval-shaped Roman pizzas, a style that’s harder to find in the city. Rarity aside, these pies are delicious. The crust is crisp and bubbly and light, and the extensive menu means there’s a topping combination for everyone. Go for the maranella with housemade spicy pork sausage and extra creamy burrata, or the tormarancio with soppressata and very thick tomato sauce. Service is efficient and the space can easily accommodate groups, which makes this a go-to spot, especially if you’re seeing a show at The Orpheum nearby." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
