Il Casaro Pizzeria & Mozzarella Bar - Castro Location

Great spot for a carb loaded happy hour! Vegetarian options: You can have any pizza without meat!

I’ve spent a good chunk of my life in Italy and am admittedly a huge pizza snob as a result. This is the best Neapolitan Pizza I’ve had outside the old country, and it’s not particularly close (even better than their awesome North Beach location!). The staff is super friendly. Also, great happy hour deal! I eat here an embarrassing amount and you should too.

We enjoyed a nice meal here - pizza, eggplant “meat”balls, and wine. There are plenty of pizza places in the neighborhood but Il Casaro seems a touch more creative with their toppings. The eggplant balls are spectacular, with the simmered tomato sauce overcoming any bitter flavor.

This place is great. I have come here for the last three years, at first, mostly because it was close to my favorite bar, The Pilsner Inn, two doors down. However, we've discovered that the food is delicious and the service is stellar. Alexa, the manager, was extremely obliging when helping me plan a 20-person event. The service was top knotch by being extremely friendly, fast, and accommodating. We even brought in a birthday cake that they put candles in, cut, and served to all of us. The burrata, the rigatoni pesto, and the lasagna (my nephew says it's like buttah) are my favorites.

Friendly staff, great portions and quality for the price point.

We lived in Naples, Italy for four years and this is the closest pizza I've found since. Quick, easy and "delizioso."
