Arizmendi Bakery Dough – 9th Ave

I was severely disappointed in this dough it was way to moist to turn out decent. It might of done OK with a long baking sheet-pan or deep-dish style, but even that’s unlikely. As it was the bottom barely browned by the time the cheese and toppings were done and the outer and upper side [...]

Trader Joe’s Dough

The trick to Tader Joe’s Dough is to par-bake it and when I say trick i mean the only way to get a half-decently cooked pizza with it. The dough is way too moist to get a decent high-heat cooked pie with any other way. You may have some luck cooking the pizza at a [...]

Milano Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant

A 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 [...]

Big Slice

Super 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 [...]

North Beach Pizza – Stanyan

I 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 [...]

Paradise Pizza and Pasta

Great 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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
