Dining Guide Calzone's Pizza Cucina

For a completely different take on North Beach, head up the street to Calzone's. This sparkling bistro has a large awning along the front with tables and chairs beneath it, perfect for watching the crowd go by on a lazy afternoon. The thin-crust pizzas are a popular choice, and for good reason: they're made in an oblong shape, with toppings like marinated eggplant, calamata olives and goat cheese; a grown-up pizza, but with the gooey cheese and crisp bite that brings back childhood memories. Calzone's is a hot night spot, too; the music is cranked up and passersby stop in at the bar for a cocktail and a chat. The restaurant serves food until 1am, which makes it an ideal place to end the night with an espresso or a midnight snack! Calzone's features an open area mezzanine that seats up to 50 people, perfect for parties and meetings. Tables are arranged for parties of two through eight for casual mingling and dining. You are welcome to call the restaurant directly to make a reservation needed within 48 hours - call 415.397.3600.
