I was just a kid when I heard the oxymoron, "fresh cheese" down Mission Street in San Francisco. How could something purposely aged be "fresh?" I had to get a little older myself before I could appreciate that cheese without all the stuff that makes it last on the shelf TASTES better. Dough made fresh with a few simple ingredients TASTES better. We just had the pleasure of dining at Rami's. I say dining not because the place is fancy. It's not. It's clean and friendly. A/100. But the food. Oh ho ho. We went to eat but we stayed to dine. Mayra had a generous plate of piping hot ravioli and melted fresh mozzarella swimming in well seasoned marinara. I took the tiniest tastiest bite because I'm a vegan (now that I too am aged but fresh). Staying vegan in an Italian restaurant is never easy. I ordered a vegetarian calzone minus the cheese and plus mushrooms. I'm allergic to green peppers so I skipped them too. Rami himself leaned out of the kitchen and called out, "you want green and black olives in that veggie calzone?" The perfect question. When he brought it to our booth, he also brought a side of the herb butter they usually paint the calzone with because he figured no cheese probably meant non-dairy. Wow. The only thing more amazing than the friendly service and attention to detail was the food itself. The searing heat of that pizza oven turned what could have been a soggy bag of dough into a crusty savory pocket of pizza crust with bubbling hot veg peeking through the toasty slits. I have to apologize for these pics because we were almost done with the meal before I realized we NEEDED to share photos. Y'all know we like to eat. It's nice to know there is a great family-friendly place right in our neighborhood where we can also dine. (And the cheese is fresh.) Kudos, Rami and crew. We...
Read moreFinally a true family owned, fresh hand made using high quality ingredients! Never felt so good as much as eating at this place! Our first visit and for sure he has us customers for life! From the freshly backed dough to the %100 natural mozzarella cheese used 8n many dishes that truly melts in your mouth, not like the rubbery one with artificial ingredients that other restaurants use, to the spaghetti and meatballs which my kids loved, to the cheese ravioli which was HUGE that 2 people shared, to the margherita pizza which was a piece of art! We also had the veggies and rami's special pizzas which were gone and devoured from the deliciousness! all for very reasonable budget friendly prices considering the quality, quantity and the love and passion you taste in the food. YOU...
Read moreWe finally checked out Papa Rami’s Pizzeria, and it was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place was something special. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with just the right mix of modern flair and neighborhood charm.
Now the pizza hands down some of the best in the city. The crust is that perfect golden balance between crispy and chewy, the sauce is rich and flavorful without overpowering, and the toppings are clearly fresh and high quality and every bite was better than the last.
You can tell this place is run with passion. The staff was super friendly, service was fast, and they even checked in to make sure everything...
