How do you deal with negative word of mouth? Embrace it. Because it's a part of you. Your story. Your history.

Enter Pizzeria Delfina in San Francisco. They, like just about all restaurants, get reviewed on Yelp. And, like just about all restaurants, they get some weird, negative reviews peppered in with the good ones.
