SF Chronicle food critic Michael Bauer swoons over the Mission's newest pizza joint, Flour + Water, located at 2401 Harrison. Bauer beams, "Made third visit to Flour+Water ; tastes as if they've been making pizza for years. Perfecto! Review to come in a couple weeks." Now for the bad news: SFist called Flour + Water to see if we could swing by to grab a slice or four for lunch. No such luck. "We don't serve pizza by the slice or to-go," the sympathetic F + W employee explained. Alas, select Mission residents, this new artisan world just isn't big enough for you.



Two reasons (woops, read the menu, make that three) not to go, can't think of one to go.
C'mon, it's frickin pizza.
Oh great already had a couple of 'cold one's' and now I'm thinking about pizza.
Oh well a guess a trip to 'Blondie's' or 'Mythic Pizza', at least I know they sell by the slice.
This place is not worth the hype at all. If you want real pizza, go to Delfina.
Went there a few weeks ago - the pizza was salty but competent. $40 for two was a rip considering portion size.
Perfetto = Perfect in Italian (not perfecto). Testa di cazzo = dick head.
Flour + water? That's it? Do they not include cheese or tomato sauce?
Would trade 5 of these yuppie pizza joints for another decent NY/Philly-style by-the-slice (and delivery!) in the Mission.
oh good, yet another wood oven pizza joint.
how original.
Is it? It thought I read a story relatively recently that said there was a moratorium on wood ovens within SF.
from their site:
' . . . specializing in house-made fresh pastas, house-cured meats and wood-fired, thin crust, Neapolitan pizza.'
sounds like a wood oven to me.
There was a moratorium on wood ovens? That's news to me.
arinell's.
^sigh^ And Slappy's hunt for a good deep-dish pizza in SF continues...if I wanted a cracked, I'd have gone to the cracker store LOL...two closest I've been able to find are 'Old Chicago' in Petaluma and Zachary's in the East Bay.
Any suggestions gladly accepted!
Huh? Haven't heard of Little Star or Paxti's?
Go. Now.
I personally find Patxi's to be better than Little Star, but really that's the only problem I have with Little Star (aside from the scene and the hipster nature of the place). They're not bad, there's just a better place that outdoes them.
Little Star is perfect when ordering to go. Delicious pizza without that icky scenester aftertaste.
Nevermind Delfina, Flour+Water's pizza isn't in any way noticeably better than Beretta's. I guess that still makes them potentially the third-best thin wood-fired pizza in the Mission, and the 4th-best pizza overall once you include Serranos.
On the other hand, their tagliatelle with rabbit ragu was fab. If they've still got that on the menu once they've cooled off enough that I don't have to reserve a table two weeks in advance (for a fucking pizza joint?!), I might go back.
Heck ? What is it with Pizza, or any fatty foods mentioned on this site, or bicycles?
That gets the comment's coming?
P.S. I just remembered a recent comment from a bike thread? Now then where is the nearest ATM as I head out for dinner?
You forgot dogs. Posts re dogs tends to bring people out of the woodwork.
Oh that is right I was burning off the calories before I ate them that I was carrying in my 'Dairy Queen' bag, i.e. the burger and fry's, I dropped the soda cup as I began to peddle my bicycle faster as the dog started to chase me down the street.
I live a few blocks from this joint and if the crowds are any indication the place is a big hit. At least for now. It moved in kind of under the radar and even on opening night it was standing room only.
I haven't even been there, and I am already sick of that name.
you've got to be kidding me. They don't serve slices or to go (yet) and you're having a tantrum. The SF prissy princess strikes again.
pardon, make that SF prissy princesses strike again - plural.
