Review: Chronicle Says It's 'Easy to Feel Franz's Love' at San Anselmo's Pizzalina
Six months after she completed the journey of building her own restaurant from scratch and opened her spot in the Red Hill Shopping Center, Louise Franz is drawing rave reviews.
For the better part of 2012, San Anselmo resident Louise Franz shared the trials and tribulations of building her own restaurant from scratch.
In the months leading up to opening Pizzalina in the Red Hill Shopping Center in September 2012, Franz blogged about a tricky restaurant opening that was a mix of what she categorized as "before and after pictures, funny antidotes, hair-pulling rants, praise, prayer and swearing (not necessarily in that order), recipes, invitations and special gifts."
Now Franz, who has lived in San Anselmo for 25 years, is seeing the genuine fruits of that painstaking labor, and the rave reviews are arriving. The San Francisco Chronicle paid Pizzalina a visit recently and called the pizza being served by the former veteran of Picco in Larkspur and Rosso in Santa Rosa "delicious."
