Great (pizza) date place in a quite little strip in The Richmond. It shouldn’t be too hard to find parking in the neighborhood, but it’s a small place and they don’t take reservations so you might have to wait a bit for a table. There’s a weekly menu with a set of regular pizzas. The [...]
Tagged date place, margherita, neapolitan, seating, solid, The RichmondIn this place’s defense I was there pretty early and the oven probably hadn’t come all the way up to temp. At least I hope that was the case as otherwise they turn out sub-par pizza given the head-start of wood fired oven. I’m not a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza, in fact there’s only [...]
Tagged Ferry Building, neapolitan, no other option, seating, wood firedThis place pretty well nails NY Style pizza, the Sicilian not so much. It’s a shame it’s in an out of the way location (for me anyway) or else I’d go here often. Regardless I now have two (pizza related) reasons to head to North Beach. The place is pretty new so I’ll mostly forgive [...]
Tagged favorites, North Beach, ny style, seating, sicilian, slices, solidA very solid pizza. One I’m looking forward to trying again. It’s been a while since I’ve tried a new place that really stood out and Milano did. It is not the best pizza I’ve ever had and I won’t be forsaking all others in its honor, but it has the potential to be my [...]
Tagged delivery, reheat, seating, solid, std american style, The SunsetSuper thick and doughy slice. The bottom crust was super crisp and oily so my only guess is they oil the pan they cook them on/in heavily. The cheese was greasy as was the pepperoni. A watery/herby sauce that was barely passable. This was not good pizza and I won’t be going anywhere near this [...]
Tagged don't bother, Haight, late night, seating, std american styleI didn’t really know what to expect with this place, but now I do and I won’t bother going back. The only good thing about it was the pepperoni, I’d even say it was great, but that’s where the positives begin and end. The cheese was piled on and chewy (probably been sitting for a [...]
Tagged Cole Valley, delivery, slices, std american styleThis newly opened place seems to have been dealt pretty harsh reviews on Yelp, but I can’t really see why. The pizza is pretty solid and with a few minor improvements (or on a better/busier day) would probably be damned good. It’s no frills, couple tables, counter and a pizza oven. There’s art on the [...]
Tagged decent, delivery, seating, slices, The MissionI’d always stayed away from Escape From New York’s local chain. I’m not really sure why, i guess it just struck me as the kind of place you’d find in a mall food-court, something about the look of it didn’t sit right with me. Sooner or later I would get around to checking it out, [...]
Tagged delivery, ny style, seating, slices, solid, The MissionOne of the most distinct/unique pizzas in San Francisco. Golden Boy is a personal favorite. Sicilian/focaccia-style well executed, great option when you’re in the area. The crust is crispy and slightly oily (they brush the sheet-pans with olive-oil.) The cheese is stringy with a discernible, but pretty mellow taste. The sauce is herb-y. Their pepperoni [...]
Tagged favorites, late night, North Beach, seating, sicilianGreat crust, some of the best I’ve every had, overall a very solid pizza. I think I’ll go with different toppings the next time around, but I will definitely be going back. The crust is bead-y, nicely browned, and slightly charred with a great overall taste. The sauce was light and pleasant. The cheese was [...]
