THE FUEGO BLOG

After a product development meeting where we discussed the possibility of a Fuego pizza oven, I decided I had to have pizza for dinner.  The power of suggestion!  Of course, San Francisco has a mecca of little pizzarias, especailay in North Beach a.k.a Little Italy, but I already had a place in mind that I was dying to try out.

Beretta is a new restaurant, previously Last Supper Club, located in the Mission District.  I'd heard some great things about the place, and the owners are true Italians, so I knew the pizza would be great.  I prefer the thin crust kind with fresh ingredients.   A combo of mozzarella, basil, and tomato is all I need.  No fuss, just great flavor.  Fingers crossed, I ordered the Margherita pizza.  It was delicious!

I was also pleasantly surprised by the cocktail menu.  The Rattlesnake was recommended, made with rye, lemon, maple, bitters, and egg white, but I opted for a safer drink.  The Hemingway, made with white rum, line, cane sugar, maraschino, and grapefruit, was more my speed.  The food was great, cost was right (only $14 for the pizza and $9 for the drink), decor was cool, and the place was vivacious.  Great Mission find-- located at Valencia and 23rd. www.berettasf.com
