Il Casaro Pizzeria, Neapolitan pizzeria in North Beach, San Francisco, United States.
Il Casaro Pizzeria is a Neapolitan restaurant in San Francisco featuring a wood-burning oven imported directly from Naples. The kitchen prepares thin-crust pizzas using San Marzano tomatoes and Italian mozzarella, while an on-site cheese bar produces fresh varieties daily.
The restaurant opened its first location in North Beach in 2014, with a second venue opening in Castro in 2019. This growth reflects how the concept of authentic Neapolitan cooking established itself across the city.
The name 'Il Casaro' means 'the cheese maker' in Italian and reflects the restaurant's dedication to fresh mozzarella and traditional recipes. The way the establishment displays its handmade cheeses shows a respect for Italian craftsmanship that visitors can see throughout the space.
The restaurant operates from mid-morning to late evening on most days, with extended hours on weekends. Visiting during weekday afternoons will generally offer a quieter experience than peak dinner times.
The on-site cheese counter produces multiple varieties daily, including mozzarella di bufala, fior di latte, and burrata, with some brought in from Italy. This allows visitors to taste cheeses that are otherwise difficult to find elsewhere.
