Bar Bocce
Sausalito
Pizza al fresco on a private beach in Sausalito…who wouldn’t want that? Dining is first-come, first-serve, and you’ll want to be among the first. However, if you must wait for a table, don’t panic — working up an appetite means you’ll have room for the crispy artichokes with fried rosemary, celery leaves and lemon aioli appetizer. Get the kale pizza with basil pesto, roasted garlic and ricotta; it’s rich, but a winner.
1250 Bridgeway, Sausalito, 415.331.0555
PizzaHacker @ The Junction
Mill Valley
Is a great crust your thing? PizzaHacker bakes its wheat levain sourdough crust with smoked sea salt for the mouth-watering effect down to the last bite. If you have tried this San Francisco cult-favorite before, it’s worth visiting their second location, nestled within The Junction beer garden. It has nailed contactless service — with the Square-based ordering system — and its incredibly friendly staff add a brightness to the already beautiful, spacious outdoor dining area. Local craft beers and hard kombucha (you can’t go wrong with either) are available on tap as well as in four packs, if you’re purchasing to-go.
226 Shoreline Hwy, Mill Valley, 415.662.3212
Poggio Trattoria
Sausalito
Veal sliced excruciatingly thin and topped with lemon and tonnato sauce is a singular dish in the hands of executive chef Benjamin Balesteri, who creates Northern Italian fare using local and Italian ingredients. The bar may be the most hopping in town and is recognized for its killer Negroni. Private dining rooms above the restaurant can accommodate larger parties (10 to 150 guests).
777 Bridgeway, Sausalito, 415.332.7771
Sandrino
Sausalito
Owners, Alesandro Spaziani Montagna and his wife Monika Torggler hail from Verona, Italy, where they operated a restaurant in Trento at the foot of the Dolomites in northern Italy. Everything at Sandrino is handmade and fresh. Be advised that the restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday, but otherwise open daily for lunch and dinner.
45 Caledonia St, Sausalito, 415.729.9166
Tamalpie
Mill Valley
Steeped in Marin culture to the point of naming its pizzas after Marin County trails, Tamalpie (owned by local restauranteur Karen Goldberg) provides ample outdoor seating and a classy bar that’s perfect for a drink after work. It has mastered its 48-hour fermented dough recipe, a testament to the meticulous care of quality and taste in the baking process. Along with a variety of pizzas, there are delicious small plates like the roasted brussels sprouts and specialty cocktails to round out your meal.
477 Miller Ave, Mill Valley, 415.388.7437
Watershed
Mill Valley
Gather ’round the fire pit in front of the restaurant at the Lumber Yard or hang out at the long bar for a pre-dinner glass of wine before sampling one of the many dishes curated to reflect the bounty of Marin. The cheeseburger — made with Stemple Creek beef — and fresh pastas are matched with a bevy of simply prepared, easy to share dishes (like spicy rock cod lettuce cups or lamb riblets) that reflect chef Kyle Swain’s careful sourcing and focus on local flavor.
129 Miller Ave, Mill Valley, 415.888.2406
Central Marin
Creekside Pizza & Taproom
San Anselmo
Creekside Pizza and Taproom is home to 40 tap handles of craft beers from over 25 top craft breweries, plus kombucha and cider on tap. And of course, be sure to also sample any of Creekside’s signature pizzas. Alongside the extensive list of mainstay flavors, there’s always a pizza of the month and a pizza of the season.
638 San Anselmo Ave, San Anselmo, 415.785.4450
Farmshop
Larkspur
Along with its exceptionally crispy, yet chewy thin-crust, Farmshop serves up innovative flavor combinations and ingredients that you won’t find on many pizza menus in the Bay Area. While the classic tomato and mozzarella combo is tried-and-true, you won’t regret trying one of Farmshop’s more unique dishes. Crowd favorites include the lamb merguez, yogurt and the kale and three cheese pizza with honey drizzled on top. Another scrumptious dish to try is the wild mushrooms, pickled onions and arugula pizza.
2233 Larkspur Landing Cir, Larkspur, 415.755.6700
Lo Coco’s Authentic Italian Pizzeria
San Rafael
This local favorite was founded by the Sicilian Lo Coco brothers, who took pride in the authentic Italian flavors in their recipes. Their Neapolitan-style pies are simple but hearty. Popular menu items include the mushroom pizza, roasted eggplant pizza, a zucchini and garlic pizza, baby clam, oregano and garlic pizza and the most notable artichoke heart pizza. Sometimes pizza only needs a couple of ingredients to taste fantastic. And if you thought the toppings were great, wait until you hear about Lo Coco’s trademark crust. Unbelievably fluffy, doughy and thick, it’ll send you to cloud nine on the first bite.
631 Del Ganado Rd, San Rafael, 415.472.3323
Mulberry Street Pizza
San Rafael
With its longstanding presence in Marin, Mulberry Pizzeria’s menu has grown to include a variety of both unique and traditional pizzas, salads, soup and more. Some favorites include a Three Beer Pizza and their Cream of Tomato with a Hint of Curry soup. It was first opened in 1986 and was inspired by Mulberry Street in New York’s Little Italy, and current owners Bill and Chrisoula Capetanos have maintained the pizzeria’s legacy.

Pizzeria Picco

It’s no secret that this cozy pizza nook is a Marin County favorite with its homey wood-fired pizza ovens and thoughtfully sourced, local ingredients. The menu boasts both classic and unexpected flavor combinations — all on a holy grail crispy crust. Fresh salads and items from its sister restaurant, Picco, (both from Bay Area restaurateur Bruce Hill) are also available to order.
320 Magnolia Ave, Larkspur, 415.924.0300
Pizzalina
San Anselmo
Owners Michael and Jacquelyn Baker’s so-called dream come true restaurant hews traditional Neapolitan pizza made with farm-sourced and house made ingredients. Seasonal specials like hand-rolled garganelli pasta with ragu Bolognese (that’s meaty) and a porchetta sandwich at lunch layered with Fontina and chopped broccolini are for those days when fewer carbs are called for.
