About This Place

Nestled in the serene Corte Madera neighborhood, Cafe Verde Pizzeria is a delightful haven for pizza lovers and casual diners seeking an authentic Italian-inspired experience. Specializing in handcrafted pizzas, hearty salads, and carefully curated beer selections, this vibrant eatery artfully balances the rustic charm of a traditional pizzeria with the cozy conviviality of a beer hall.

The menu at Cafe Verde is a testament to thoughtful culinary creativity. Whether you're drawn to the classic comfort of their Mushroom & Sausage Pizza or craving the rich, silky embrace of their Besciamella-based creations like the Parma Pizza — adorned with mushrooms and pepperoni — each bite tells a story of freshness and expert flavor layering. The Romana Pizza combines tender prosciutto with peppery arugula on a white sauce base, offering a sublime balance between savory and slightly bitter notes, while the Sarda Pizza cleverly marries sweet figs with creamy goat cheese and fresh arugula, making it an unexpected yet harmonious indulgence.

Beyond pizza, Cafe Verde invites you to awaken your day with a range of breakfast offerings such as a perfectly brewed latte paired with morning pastries or a fluffy Breakfast Pizza that showcases breakfast favorites reinvented in pizza form. Sandwich enthusiasts will appreciate the Smoked Salmon Panini, featuring wild smoked salmon, capers, and cream cheese on hearty whole wheat bread — every bite bursting with smoky and tangy delight.

Enticing sweet treats like a decadent Tiramisu or a rich Chocolate Cake complete the culinary journey with refined blends of deep cocoa and creamy mascarpone, while savvy beverage choices range from freshly brewed coffee to well-poured local beers, perfect for relaxing after a satisfying meal.

What truly elevates Cafe Verde is the welcoming and unhurried atmosphere. Customers often remark on the comfortable, quiet environment that invites lingering conversations and moments of relaxation — a rare find where patrons feel valued, not rushed. From weekday afternoons where you can savor your meal in tranquility to evenings buzzing with friendly chatter, the attentive staff ensures a seamless dining experience, always checking in just enough without intruding.

Parking is readily accessible either on the street or in the back, making it convenient for both locals and visitors. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual lunch with your dog or settling in for a leisurely dinner, Cafe Verde Pizzeria offers a flavorful, heartfelt escape that leaves a lasting impression.

    In town visiting. Wanted to try something a bit more local. We had dinner at Cafe Verde and very happy we did! Menu had a good selection of salads, Italian dishes, and pizza. Tried the mushroom stuffed sweet potato for a starter and it was delicious. We shared a beet salad and eggplant parmesan dish. Great! Finished the dinner with a slice of grandmother’s cake, a light crusted lemon custard dessert. Very tasty! The restaurant also had a good selection of beer and wine if you are interested is a beverage with dinner. We enjoyed our conversation with the waiter, everyone was happy to serve. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

    There were two of us, ordered easily, food came quickly and we shared our pizza & salad. We were there eating and talking for FOUR hours! No one rushed us & they checked to see if we needed anything along our stay. Everything was delicious and we’d go there again! The restaurant was not filled when We arrived at 1:00 on a weekday and several seated and take out patrons came and went. It was quiet and peaceful. Nice waitstaff too! Highly recommend & we will return in the future! Plus, reasonably priced, which is a perk as well!

    I’m from Petaluma and I was working a short term job assignment in Corte Madera and this pizzeria was down the street so I gave it a try and ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was EXCELLENT!! The sauce tastes so fresh and delicious and their crust is light, crunchy and chewy at the same time. Cooked perfectly. Definitely give them a try!

    Being in Southern Marin with my dog, I researched most qualified dog cafes; this was the one. The Tamalpais Drive location actually is far away enough to be still considered quiet and comfortable. Came in during a slow lunch hour while the on-duty staff was small. I peeped my head into the door one one of the 2 visible employees seated me and my dog at a nice table outside; I never had to worry about the potential consequences of coming inside with a dog. And, he nicely acted as my waiter. I had a bowl of Pesto Linguine; it was deliciously creamy. I have to ding off a star for hot having any kind of bread as a sauce soaker for the sauce that I paid for and wanted to savor. Overall, it is a good dog cafe next to a dog park with some room for improvement.

    This is a nice little place. We had margarita, pizza, pepperoni, pizza, and vegetable minestrone soup. All was really good. The pizza had a nice crisp to the dough and the sauce had a nice zest flavor. We really enjoyed it. To end the meal we enjoyed a cappuccino and order of tiramisu. All was very good. Parking is either on the street up front or in the back.

    This cafe verde pizzaeria is a gem for pizza lovers! with a perfect crust and fresh toppings . Don’t miss the tiramisu—it’s so smooth that it practically melts in your mouth. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious pizza and a heavenly dessert!

    Absolutely the best! I had the calzone, and we have had the pizza previously. The food is superb! 000 flour from Italy is a nice touch for the freshly made pizza and pasta. We were enjoying lunch and I couldn't help but wonder why we ever eat anywhere else. The café has a small indoor space and beautiful, outdoor seating. The host/waiter was very kind and patient as we debated what to order. Everything looks so good! As it turns out, I was debating between the salad and the calzone, and the calzone comes with something like a salad on top of it.

    We had such a wonderful date at the perfect pizzeria. It felt like we were back in Italy. The location was perfect. Beautiful backdrop with serene and quite surrounding. The man who helped us was very nice and helpful. The pizza was exactly how a neopolitan pizza should taste like. Wonderful puffy crust with thin and soft middle. Beautiful ly made. The tiramisu was fantastic!! Thank you for the wonderful lunch. We really enjoyed it
