Glen Park is experiencing a mini boom in new businesses. This is a new pizza restaurant that replaced a rather simple, cheap and not so good one. This is definately much more upscale. I have seen families with kids in there. It is a small, "cozy" place. I haven't been yet.
Here is a review:
Every neighborhood needs good pizza. San Francisco's Glen Park has a new place for pizza pie with Gialina's Monday opening.
The narrow storefront space is the brainchild of chef-owner Sharon Ardiana, who named it after her Italian nonna, Lina. Ardiana was previously executive chef at Lime, Dine, the Last Supper Club and the Slow Club.
The pizza is Neapolitan style, with a thin crust and light toppings such as clams brightened with fresh parsley and chiles and dandelion greens with sausage and fontina. An antipasto plate includes marinated mushrooms and Fra'Mani salumi, and salads can be ordered in half or full portions.
Dessert features lemon ice and a chocolate hazelnut pizza with mascarpone. Ten Italian wines can be ordered by the glass, carafe or bottle. Second courses and lunch service will be added soon.
Gialina, 2842 Diamond St. (at Kern), S.F.; (415) 239-8500 or www.gialina.com. Dinner nightly. Starters, $7-$14; pizzas, $9-$16; desserts, $6-$9.
