De La Nonna

This foccacia-style pizzeria in the Arts District is one of the city’s leading pie joints—and it’s even accompanied by a disco-themed cocktail bar next door and an expansive, string-lit brick patio. Potted plants, climbing vines and shrubs lining the perimeter transform the outdoor dining area into a verdant urban escape, particularly in warmer weather. Originally a quarantine era pop-up founded by veterans of Tartine, Felix and Chicago’s Boka Group, the restaurant offers natural wine, raw seafood and personal-sized focaccia pies that are seasonal, delicious and—most importantly—relatively affordable. There’s even a gluten-free pie and a handful of vegan options. Founded at a time when everyone needed a seat at an outdoor table, De La Nonna holds most of its space for walk-ins, though it also accepts limited reservations.
