Una Pizza Napoletana is returning to San Francisco for two appearances marking the pizzeria’s 30th anniversary. Founder Anthony Mangieri is scheduled to cook at A16 in the Marina on the evening of Nov. 16, then at Linea Caffe in the Mission the following morning, according to SFGATE.
SFGATE reports that tickets cost $110 and were set to go on sale Thursday at 9 a.m. The reported menu includes a half-marinara, half-margherita pizza, a cocktail with nonalcoholic options, and espresso; the ticket also comes with a gift bag. Those details are from the report, not separate confirmations from the venues.
A return to a city that shaped the restaurant
Mangieri operated Una Pizza Napoletana in a SoMa garage from 2010 to 2017, SFGATE reports. The two-event visit brings him back nearly a decade after that San Francisco run, though it is a short appearance rather than a reopening.
The Marina stop also places the event at a restaurant with its own longstanding San Francisco connection to Neapolitan pizza. A16 says it was founded on Chestnut Street in 2004 and that its San Francisco restaurant has specialized in wood-fired Vera Pizza Napoletana since 2014. That provides local venue context, but does not establish any collaboration beyond Mangieri’s scheduled appearance.
What the rankings say
The “No. 2” distinction refers to Una Pizza Napoletana’s position in the 2026 global ranking, as reported by Pizza Today. Separately, 50 Top Pizza’s 2026 U.S. ranking named it the country’s best pizzeria. These are results from separate lists; neither, on its own, explains how the rankings compare San Francisco restaurants.
For San Francisco diners, the two dates offer a limited chance to try Mangieri’s current pizza without traveling to New York. The appearances are a return to the city where the restaurant once operated—not a permanent move back.
