Cupola Pizzeria - Union Square, SF

Hi, Mollie!

It's kind of common sense, really,

that you can't really find a good restaurant in a mall.

They're either too gimmicky, too bad, too all-you-can-eat, too Food Court.

It's a fact of life,

just like you can't really find cheap souvenirs at Disney, our Stanford Bookstore,

or anywhere with... real souvenirs.

But when it's pouring outside, 

you just want to get some shopping done with your best friend,

who also needs to catch her train in about one hour,

and you haven't eaten in eight hours,

you go to the first place that looks (warm) and decent.

That's how Mollie and I came upon Cupola,

in the Dome of the Westfield Mall in SF.

And that's how Mollie and I spent more than $50 total

for two pastas and a drink.

Moral of the story:

(I don't actually have one.)

But... Cupola has great food - really delicious & unique.

What you're seeing in the last picture is tortellini in chicken broth,

with crispy pig ears.

And my belly found it greatly satisfying,

as did Mollie with her pasta and especially her drink...

(and the focaccia here is AMAZING.)

But it was also over $50.

And I'm a college student.

You do the math.

In all fairness, Cupola has such a funky vibe & great service,

so if you're not trying to survive on a college budget,

it would be a great place to check out if you're at the mall & don't want to
go out of your way for good food.

Thanks for visiting! Have a great Thursday!
