Where to Eat - Farina Pizza

I was super excited to try Farina's new pizza spot in the Mission. I'm a huge fan of their homemade pasta. It had only been open for a couple days and I think once some kinks get ironed out it will be a great spot. The pizza was great and I loved the style but both our pies could have used about 5 more minutes in the oven.

We started with the thinly sliced wild salmon marinated with juniper berries, lemon and oil. It was delicious. The simplicity of the dish was surprising and the quality of the the fish and ingredients elevated it.

Our first pizza was the Bufalina which included San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, romano cheese, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil. Although underdone the pizza's fresh ingredients had a lot of promise. I especially loved the pools of olive oil floating on top of the cheese.

The other pizza we had was the Diavola made of San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte mozzarella, romano cheese, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, and spicy salame. This pizza was really great. I loved what a difference in flavor such tiny variations could create. I am really excited to give them some time and go back but I'll probably ask for it well done.
