Or fried green beans or spicy cauliflower with garlic, capers and chiles, among others that make an appearance on this market-driven menu. As one would expect, the 10-inch pizzas are good, featuring thin, blistered crusts and appropriate amounts of fresh toppings. This isn’t a huge pizza chain, so those who gravitate toward thick, greasy slabs of pie might not appreciate the crisp, sometimes charred bottoms and interesting toppings like fantastic, house-made fennel sausage. For the rest of us, glom onto iterations like “clam pie,” featuring cherrystones, cheeses and peperoncini, or the insider’s favorite special pie, the carbonara, in which a cheesy white sauce, shaves of pepper and farm egg perch on the crust. Not a pizza freak? Try the ever-popular roast chicken with rosemary or succulent meatballs. It’s a shame more pasta dishes aren’t offered because a recent cannelloni special with fresh wrapping was beyond outstanding. Or console yourself with some first-rate, house-made gelato and sorbet that deliver the fresh, mouth-filling flavors Delfina is known for.
