If you live the San Rafael area, The Red Rooster Brick Oven is the place to go for delicious pizza, and a relaxing environment to share a meal in downtown San Rafael. Service is top notch, friendly, fast and efficeint, we felt very welcomed when we dined in. We split a pizza and enjoyed a salad, both equally delicious. The salad was well portioned, and well executed in terms of freshness and ingredients, each bite was memorable. The pizza crust from the brick oven is absolutely mouth watering, a crisp, buttery (could be olive oil), crunch on the crust, and the center of the pie holds the ingredients equally well without getting soggy. Its a very well made, def not your typical NY style pizza, BUT good in its own right. Everything we enjoyed was freshly made. There's an ample beverage selection, including beer and wine should you take part. You can dine inside, or outside, both offer great seating to enjoy with company or solo. If you haven't tried Red Rooster yet, by all means...

The garlic fries were crispy and flavorful, and they were the perfect side to the sandwich. The portion size was generous, and I appreciated the fact that everything was made fresh to order.
The clam chowder was creamy and savory, with chunks of tender clams and potatoes in every bite. It was the perfect comfort food.
