Pizzeria Picco

Nestled in the charming heart of Larkspur, Pizzeria Picco offers a lovingly crafted Neapolitan-style pizza experience that’s as inviting as its warm, cozy atmosphere. From the moment you step inside—or settle into one of their beautiful indoor or outdoor dining areas—you’re enveloped in an ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between casual and refined, making it ideal for everything from intimate dinners to lively gatherings.

Pizzeria Picco’s menu is a celebration of authentic Italian flavors with a contemporary twist. Start your meal with their enticing antipasti like the warm olives infused with rosemary, lemon, and garlic, or savor the delicate pairing of San Daniele prosciutto with organic wild arugula. For something heartier, the roasted pork and beef meatballs bathed in San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh torn basil, and melted mozzarella served with hearth flatbread, beautifully marry robust and comforting flavors.

When it comes to the star of the show—the pizza—each pie is a masterclass in wood-fired perfection. The crust boasts that signature light, chewy texture with a beautifully puffed edge, kissed by the intense heat of the oven’s flames, delivering an irresistible smokiness and slight char. The Margherita stands as a timeless choice, gracefully balanced with tomato sauce, fresh basil, and a dreamy mixture of mozzarella and parmesan, finished with de Padova’s extra virgin olive oil. For a more adventurous palate, the Son of Yeti, topped with hen of the woods mushrooms, leeks, thyme, fresh garlic, mozzarella, pecorino, and parmesan, offers an earthy, aromatic journey that leaves a deep impression at each bite.

Dessert at Pizzeria Picco is no afterthought—indulge in the spiced carrot cake with pepitas and lush cream cheese frosting, or cool down with Straus Dairy’s rich soft serve ice cream available in vanilla bean, chocolate, or their popular swirl.

Customer testimonials consistently highlight the authenticity and quality that define Pizzeria Picco. Longtime visitor Tazi raves about the “perfect puffed edge marked by the flames” and creative toppings that keep them coming back year after year, while Autumn Shepherd praises attentive staff and delicious entrees that compel a wholehearted recommendation. Even those seeking variety beyond pizza find joy in dishes like the comforting rigatoni or the vibrant mezze platter, complemented by a thoughtfully curated cocktail list.

Whether you’re a devoted pizza aficionado or simply in search of a relaxed yet refined dining experience in Larkspur, Pizzeria Picco promises an evocative and flavorful journey. It’s not just a meal—it’s a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality that stays with you long after the last bite.
