Il Fornaio
( 5 Mar)
Excellent thin crust pizza. The toppings were amazing. Cheese was perfect and the crust was divine. Great place for lunch or dinner. Not cheap, but worth it.
The one complaint - it took 35 minutes to get my pizza! I had the Pizza Inferno: red bell peppers, chili flakes, spicy green peppers, sausage and onions.
Freschetta
(31 Jan)
ehh, decent at best. I thought the cheese was sub-par. There are so many better options.
Pizza Olympiad
(31 Jan)
This pizza took a couple times to grow on me. Trader Joe's Pizza Olympiad with fire roasted peppers, kalamata olives, topped with feta and mozzarella cheese. While the crust doesn't offer much, the olives and peppers make up for it. The toppings add so much great flavor. 2 per frozen box. Each pizza can be a meal, but 2 if you are really hungry will do it. It's also only $3.99 for 2 pizzas. Great deal.
Trader Joe's
(31 Jan)
This is a great frozen pizza selection. Thin crust, great cheese, and it's cheap. Trader Joe's you have done it again. Nothing better than this frozen pizza and 2 bottles of 2 Buck Chuck.
Joe Dimaggio's

Ok, this is an Italian steak and chop house, but they serve all kinds of food - one of them obviously being pizza. The pizza is good here, not amazing. It's not their specialty, but it is in North Beach and it is an Italian restaurant. Thin crust, good sauce and nice selection. You can't get a slice though, a whole pie only.
If you are coming for pizza or drinks - SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! $5 Menu all day! $5 glasses of wine (great wine), $5 app and $5 pizzas. A whole pie for $5. I prefer the chicken pesto and the plain cheese, but the others are good as well. Also - a jazz band plays there every Sunday. This is one of the best, hidden gems in San Francisco on Sundays.
Palio D' Asti
( 4 Jan)
What can I say about Palio? I know FREE PIZZA!!!! That's right! During happy hour you get a free pizza for every beer you order~! It's like your making money to drink and eat pizza. And the pizza's are good to. They are thin crust and serve 2 people. 3 of us went and barley finished 2 pizza's. We walked out of the place only paying for 2 beers each - absolutely amazing.
Our economy is in the shitter, but Palio in San Francisco is here to help us all out in these tough times.
Two

The pizza here is good, but not as good as the BLT. They have a great happy hour from 4 - 7pm. Half of wine, apps (including the pizza) and beers. Thin crust pizza and some decent toppings selection. Great sauce and cheese, but lacked the flavor I was looking for. I would highly recommend Two for after work drinks and apps prior to going out. It is a hidden gem...or shall I say was.
Patxi's Chicago Pizza
(30 Jul)
I'm not a huge fan of deep dish pizza, but they do it right here. Thick, perfectly cooked crust. Thick layer of cheese and tomato sauce, this was a great pizza. Expect a wait here as this is in the heart of Hayes Valley and the place isn't huge. You can however order some beers while waiting - decent tap beer selection.
If your looking for a great deep dish pizza, this is a perfect choice. The thin crust looked amazing, but can't speak for it as we didn't try.
Tony's Pizza
(10 Jul)
Tony's just opened in a great location in the heart of North Beach, but for some reason this building always seems to leave the tenants...well broke. There have been multiple restaurants in the past 2 years here, but I think Tony's is here to stay. Authentic, award winning Italian pizza's made in their wood burning brick oven.
We had the margarita pizza and the prosciutto pizza. Both were awesome. Thin crust, Great sauce and the service was amazing. The only thing we didn't like was the beer selection...Coors Light at a nice pizza joint? Really?
I would highly recommend Tony's to anyone looking for a great pie in SF.
Famous Original Ray's Pizza
(23 Jun)
There are about 10 different "Ray's" pizza joints in NYC and all claim to be the best. This isn't the best, but it's good. I thought it was a little doughy and the sauce could have been better. I got the peperoni and mushroom and the toppings were good, but the dough and sauce left a lot to be desired. If you are in NYC you have a ton of choices of Excellent pizza. I'd search elsewhere in the Big Apple
