    Tony’s Pizza Napoletana

    North Beach

    Try the New Yorker or NJ Tomato Pie; both are recommended at the North Beach restaurant.

    1. Washington Square to chill also. Great Italian and Pizza in the area. Most notably Tony’s (world famous).

    2. in north beach: liguria bakery's focaccia - hot sandwiches at mario's cigar bar - buster's cheesesteaks - showdown's cheeseburger - golden boy pizza - il casaro pizza - tony's pizza

    Golden Boy Pizza

    Try the clam-and-garlic slice; it gets repeated recommendations.

    1. Golden Boy is trying to do Sicilian style. I never said it was great. My biggest problem with them is consistency.... Sometimes the pizza is very good and sometimes it sucks big time. Like I said, they almost never bake it enough or put enough sauce on it. I enjoy it ordered with extra sauce and rebaked for 10 minutes.

    2. just walk green street toward golden boy pizza. get the garlic clam slice.

    Outta Sight Pizza

    One diner recommends the vodka-sauce pizza as their favorite.

    1. Outta Sight pizza.

    2. If the word ‘pizza’ lands on sf social media there’s a small army that jumps to say outta sight. Not convinced they’ve even eaten it. I find the pizza decent, not great, but boy they crushed the hype game. Good business.

    3. Outta sight also if you want amazing pizza!

    • Multiple commenters raised price and value concerns; one reported "it’s expensive as all hell" (branch unspecified).

    Arizmendi Bakery

    Try the pizza of the day: reviewers describe it as vegetarian, with sourdough crust and rotating toppings.

    1. Lotta good recommendations, but I'll be one of the Arizmendi defenders. Also, their pizza of the day is delicious. But in matters of taste, etc. 🙂

    2. You can get pizza from Arizmendi at like $7 a person, and drinks for another $3 a person if you’re going to Costco easy, and that’ll get you a pack of paper plates and napkins galore.

    3. And two co-op standbys if you want a food errand rather than a meal: Rainbow Grocery on Folsom (worker-owned since 1975, best bulk and cheese in the city) and Arizmendi on Valencia or 9th Ave for the daily pizza.

    The Laundromat

    Outer Richmond

    Try the broccoli rabe pizza with Calabrian chili sauce, which one diner singled out. Another diner said the parbaked pizzas sometimes weren’t hot enough.

    1. Yes! The road to mushrooms

    2. The laundromat - for the bagels and the pizza.

    3. FYI — Laundromat has an amazing vegan pizza if you go for dinner.

    Cellarmaker House of Pizza

    For Detroit-style pizza, one diner recommends Cellarmaker in Bernal Heights.

    1. Cellarmaker for Detroit-style pizza

    2. We love cellarmaker house of pizza. Also has great beers in case that’s your thing. It’s Detroit style and frequently rotates the menu.

    3. I'd like to offer Cellarmaker for consideration on a future list.

    Za Pizza

    Russian Hill

    At the Hyde location, toppings (except pepperoni) are crumbled across the pizza for flavor in every bite; try it if you like evenly seasoned slices.

    1. Za Pizza on Hyde St crumbles all their toppings (except pepperoni) so every bite is packed with the same intense flavor. All the ingredients are top quality too.

    2. Za Pizza in Russian Hill

    3. Right?! Always flies under the radar.

    The Pizza Shop

    Mission

    Try a thin-crust, classic New York-style slice; one reviewer also notes slices are relatively inexpensive.

    1. Pizza Shop.

    2. Recently tried the pizza shop for a NY style Pizza. Thought it was pretty good
