An encyclopedia of pizza in San Francisco. Where to find the best, where you can go to get a decent cheap slice, and where you should stay away from.

Nizario’s Pizza (Geary)

I’ve been to the Castro location a handful of times and would consider myself a fan, thought it’s hours never seem to coincide with my proximity so I haven’t been as much as I otherwise would have. It was a late Saturday lunch and I almost had the place to myself. It probably wasn’t the [...]

Pi Bar

Probably the most disappointing yet in my search of pizza in San Francisco. Perhaps the wasting of my time could of been averted by checking out reviews beforehand as all of the positive ones seem to rave about it’s beer (selection) which for the purposes of this blog (and in general) I could give a [...]

Patxi’s Chicago Pizza

Pronounced ‘pah-cheese’ it’s the most authentic Chicago Style pizza you’ll find in SF, probably in Nor-Cal. Yes there’s Little Star, which is pretty good and I’ll eventually get to it, but the cornmeal crust isn’t standard equipment for the genre. Located in Hayes Valley Patxi’s might actually be an acceptable date destination, depending on the [...]

Blondie’s Pizza

I have a little bit of a special place for Blondie’s Pizza, but unfortunately it’s for the one on Telegraph in Berkeley and not it’s sad cousin here in SF. For all I know the SF location is the original, and if that happens to be the case then the progeny has eclipsed the parent. [...]

Arinell Pizza

A good 3/4 of pizza places in San Francisco (and the West Coast in general) seem to be trying to do New York Style Pizza and about 90% of those are failing pretty hard. Pretty much all of them fall short on the crust which makes sense it’s pretty much what defines the genre. Arinell [...]

SBC Pizza & Deli

If SBC wasn’t the only by-the-slice pizza in walkable distance from where I work I’d never go back. Sadly it is. Yeah there’s Amici’s, but that place is absurd. SBC’s Pizza is edible, but just barely. Doughy crust, lots of cheap cheese, mediocre toppings. They usually have ~6 large pizza’s worth of slices sitting under [...]

Irving Pizza

I live in a Pizza no-man’s land…or better put there’s nothing within a few blocks in any direction (that I’ve tried and liked more on that to come.) Irving Pizza is, so far, the area’s only saving grace. It’s a bit too far to walk, but I’m down that way every now and then and [...]

Serrano’s Pizza

One of the first places I tried in San Francisco, after moving here anyway, Serrano’s Pizza is a favorite of mine, probably my go-to place in the city. It’s nothing special, but it’s solid pizza at a good price, for slices anyway. They deliver and have a bit of indoor and outdoor seating which can [...]
