Part of Back Home Hospitality

Che Fico Pizzeria is the newest restaurant from the team behind the Italian Taverna Che Fico. Located just outside Chase Center in Thrive City, Che Fico Pizzeria is a lively and high-energy restaurant serving event goers and neighbors alike. The food menu is focused on pizza (of course!), with Che Fico's signature sourdough crust. Offered in two sizes, plus a slice window for those busy nights in Thrive City, we are pulling out all the stops on our pizza creativity.

Beyond pizza the menu features a selection of antipasti and sandwiches. We are also thrilled to feature our incredible gelato and sorbetto, churned daily as soft serve. The restaurant itself features indoor and outdoor dining options, with a robust bar as the center point of the sprawling patio. With TVs in all spaces, it's the perfect place to watch the game when the home teams are playing out of town, too! Our incredible design partner Jon de la Cruz and firm DLC-ID have created a fun and welcoming space that highlights the beauty of our City by the Bay. We can't wait to welcome you!
