“What a fantastic place. I wanted to try this place for specifically its cupping pepperoni and I was not disappointed. The people behind the bar that night were so friendly, were hustling to get all their drinks made, gave just enough space and attention for us to enjoy our meal and chat while attending to everything else. We got both their pepperoni and the potato pesto pizza to try and loved it. Their crust is perfectly leopard spotted, not too thick, didn't overload the pizza with toppings, and used great ingredients. The pepperoni pizza was loaded with it and had a nice spicy/garlicy undertone. As for the drinks, we got a Shirley temple and a Bunny Hop cocktail which hit the right balance of interesting botanicals. We ended the night with a not too sweet but extremely moist chocolate cake and some of the best pistachio gelato we've tried. Not only was the pistachio on top but also mixed into the dessert. It had all the complexities you'd expect. Their bathroom is clean, their art decor is cute, their music taste is nice, and you can see them making the pizzas right there. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be coming back.“
“Our favorite neighborhood place. Pizza is delicious and fun. Everything on the menu is good. Really good. Smash burger night? Still good. And don't get me started on those morning bagels. Wow. Both cannoli and olive oil cake are great... Listen, this place is great, ok?My recommendation is to come early, grab a beer and a pizza, and then head on to a movie at the Balboa. What a fantastic combo.“
“Super yummy pizza at a pretty great price. Only thing stopping from a five star is the combo slice was a little soggy from being over topped w/ veggies (tomato slice, zucchini, mushrooms, onions). Definitely stick with the classic pepperoni.“
“Took a while to get a table and there’s not much seating inside, but we got the coziest little table by the kitchen. The spicy tomato pizza is insanely good! The rosemary pizza was solid but I felt that it needed more salt. Staff and vibe are great. Highly recommend“
“Wildly popular and mostly lives up to the hype! Although, I think the Breakfast Sandwich and the Morning Bun are overrated. IMO, the Smoked Salmon Tartine and the Pressed Ham & Gruyère Sandwich are the can't miss highlights of the menu. The standard baked goodies like the Almond Croissant are also v solid. The big open seating space give me "easy like Sunday morning" vibes that you can keep going by swinging by Heath in the same building or just taking a stroll through the neighborhood.“
“Pinsa Rossa is absolutely amazing! Their appetizers, salads, and, of course, the pinsas with their crunchy, flavorful crusts are all top-notch. Ken and his team have done an incredible job creating a dining experience that’s simply outstanding!Dietary restrictions: My daughter, a brand new lactating mom who can’t consume lactose products, asked for a pinsa with vegan cheese, and we couldn’t tell the difference, it was great!Parking: There’s parking available half a block away from the place.“
“I'm surprised pizza could be this killer. I went out of my way enroute to the airport to try this pizza with all the fixins. I expect to come here everytime I decide to fly in/out of SF at any cost. Thank you for the amazing pizza.Selection and varieties and sizes on tap were icing on a very wonderful pie.“
“A place on 24th St., the salvation to have a coffee, eat a good sandwich, have a beer and if you like everything Italian you will find it here! The guys are very friendly and the owner can't even speak of, I really liked it, I recommend it!“
“Hands down the best pizza place I've had in SF. The service here is amazing and the pizza reminds me of NY, pretty comparable to slice of NY in South Bay too. One of the workers, who I think is the owner is super friendly and generous. Even though it's in the TL it's kind of on the outskirts near Bill Graham and Civic Center so it's not super sketchy coming here. Slices are thin crust and come out super crispy when they serve them.“
“All I could think about was a hot bowl of tortellini soup, a simple salad with right out of the oven french bread, and Flour + Water was the spot! Old Greener Gage, Basker Hobbins and I took the Pilot House 70 miles out to the Cordell Bank and another 30 or so all the way to the Gumdrop lookin for Blue Fin Tuna. Left civilization about 2am and hit the temp brake in blue water about sun up. We musta pulled every plug in the box with no takers, had grilled cheeseburgers for lunch and even shot some clay targets...but no fish! Pulled into Battleship Row, tied her up tight, cleaned up some and headed straight to Flour + Water, and I got that Tortellini soup I was thinking about all day. It was Amazing!5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“
“I visited last week for dinner with my family. We didn't make a reservation and arrived around 6pm. We got seating in the back, which was an outdoor area. Right away they told us there were reservations so we would only be able to eat till around 7:15ish, which was totally okay. The back area was very cute, and extremely warm with the heater.For the food, we got 2 pizzas - honey pepperoni and the one with mushrooms. They were both good, but the crust was the best part. And the honey pepperoni said spicy on the menu but wasn't spicy at all.For appetizers, we got garlic bread and burrata cheese salad. The bread was on the drier side, couldn't taste much garlic. But the salad was very good.Overall, nice experience!“
“We are always looking for good cacio e pepe and this place definitely won us over! This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in the city. The restaurant is so cute and intimate and perfect for date night. The service was great and the staff is super nice and helpful. We ordered the black pepper bucatini and the nor-sting-ya pizza. The pasta and the pizza were so good! This is one of the best cacio e pepes I've ever had. I love that they use bucatini noodles. The pizza was bomb and spicy! This will be our go to whenever we end up in the Marina.“
“This is more about the management side of things. I honestly didn’t have the BEST experience with them on my last order. BUT, they went out of there way to fix things. They are new in Oakland, just getting the operation together and I’m happy to see them there. They aren’t the cheapest but, I don’t want the Dominoes or Pizza Hutt experience (or quality) and if I pay a little extra for food, I want good service to follow. In the end, they offered great service. I’m impressed.“
“First time eating a deep dish chicago-style pizza as it's my first time in the US, and this was something else. Very nice, definitely different than a good old Napoletana I am used to :) the thin crust pizza was also very nice! For the two of us (one adult man and one woman), we've ordered a 10" thin crust pizza and an 8" deep dish pie (old Chicago style), and it was more than enough for us. The full-sized deep dish pie looked huge so I'm glad we didn't order it! It seemed like it would fill 4 adult men.“
Italian • $$
“Hands down, literally the best dinner I've ever had! From the wine, to Bruschetta appetizer, to meat canneloni and the best tirimissu I've ever had. I'm remember this dinner for a long time! The service was unbeatable as well.. hidden gem!“
“Great food and service. We like the restaurant and will return. Only two issues. We were seated near the door which is always open and were so cold we needed to wear our jackets the whole time. The restaurant is very noisy inside, so all conversations are very loud and it's tough to hear. Arancinni and wings were excellent, pasta top notch.“
“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“
“Opened my pizza boxes and was stunned at some of the most beautifully made pizza's i have ever seen my entire life. i would consider them a works of art - the fullness of all the ingredients, the way they were intentionally laid out, combined with all the color....and we could have a possible michelin star pizza. we ordered the butter chicken pizza and the combo pizza. the butter chicken was slight spicy but not too powerful. the dough had a crisp edge and bottom with an airy interior. so good. the combo had a fantastic amount of meat and veggies... and the crust was the just as amazing. run by a nice family who took our order over the phone. had it ready to go when we arrived. great service. thank you mr singh's for beautiful and very tasty pizza's~“
“the pizza was to die for, absolutely loved the sauce on the margarita! highly recommend the cauliflower as well. Only negative was that we went on a very crowded friday evening (with reservations) and the service wasn't the best, and it was extremely loud inside the restaurant“
“Nice ambience, solid friendly service. I'd come here again. Good for a date night. Extensive wine list, would order the margarita pie next time.Skip the castelvetrano olives, nothing special. Chicken liver crostini was solid, good ratio of liver to toast, and the little radish and olive on the plate was nice. You do taste the liver though, don't get me wrong.Gnocchi with nettle pesto was very good, nice texture on the gnocchi, not too firm or bouncy. Pesto and fonduta were rich, the chanterelles adds needed textural and flavor contrast. Pizza with fungi was solid but I'd recommend the margherita next time for more contrast with the acid of the tomatoes. The crust is really good here, nice chew, solid base with a little droop. The fungi pizza was just a little one note with the richness from the cheese and a little savoriness from the mushrooms, missing some acid for freshness for balance.Market price on the 1lbs roasted snapper (other option was sea bream) was $42. Nice firm flesh and they remove the central bone in advance. The preserved Meyer lemon on the side was only ok, the parsley sauce was better, the grilled scallions quite good. We picked the cabbage with bagna cauda for our side - great execution/char on the cabbage, the sauce was savory without tasting fishy at all with some crouton/crispy breadcrumbs for contrast. Highly recommend the cabbage.Buttermilk panna cotta nailed the texture but my table mates commented that it just felt like Greek yogurt given the tang and that's fair. It's hard to get the passion fruit on the spoon so it's a bit of a waste. For the brown butter gelato and blood orange sorbet to, the gelato was better imo, more depth of flavor, quite dense, but it overall tasted more milky like a fior di latte with just a touch of nutty brown butter at the end. I wonder if they add more milk solids to the butter to bump that up. Blood orange could have been more orange-y, get some oil extraction of the peels or something.“
“i came here on a friday evening with a friend around 5:45 pm. there was no line so we were seated immediately. when we left an hour later, there was a line. we came during restaurant week and they were doing a $45/person dinner menu, but i opted to just order from the regular menu since i wasn't a big fan of the appetizer options and really wanted to try the bucatini, which wasn't on the restaurant week menu. when our food arrived, the portions seemed slightly on the smaller side so in retrospect i felt like it would've been nice to get an appetizer to share, but none of the appetizer options were that appealing to me. i like burrata but it came with mushrooms and i don't like mushrooms (this is just a personal preference, though). even though the portions were small, i wasn't hungry but i also wasn't full, which left plenty of room for dessert. we ordered the nutella sundae - it felt a bit much for 2 people (3 is probably a better number), and there was a LOT of syrup. as for the ambiance, the biggest impression i got was that the music was pretty loud. this made the atmosphere not conducive to intimate conversations, so i would mostly go here if i wanted a fast dinner at an early time. otherwise, i feel that the atmosphere is not worth the wait.“
“Wow, this place does not disappoint - so good! I've been a few times and tried many different pizzas. I appreciate that they offer different kinds of pizzas, so there's something for everyone. For me, the most memorable one was the Chopped Cheese Detroit - a Detroit-style pizza that really tastes like a McDonald's cheeseburger - I don't know how they managed that! It's such a unique flavor and something you probably won't find anywhere else. The Fried Cheese Curds are also a must - perfectly crispy and melty cheese! The space is casual and easygoing. The service has always been attentive and friendly. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone who loves pizza, especially unique-tasting pies.“
“This was a fabulous Italian restaurant in the marina! Unfortunately, you can't make a reservation before hand so you need to queue on the yelp waitlist. However, if you're flexible the wait time is not too bad. We were a party of 3 looking for seating on a Saturday around 8 and waited about 30 mins. Besides this, the restaurant is adorable with beautiful dish wear and cute decor. We got some white wine for the table which was delicious and the waiter was great with recommendations. I ordered the bolognese which was so flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. However, I do wish there was an option for more cheese on the pasta. We finished our meal with complimentary lemon gelatos which were very refreshing. Highly recommend Casado Osteria for your next date night or dinner with friends!“
“I have to start by saying that it’s been quite a while that I’ve had such good Italian food.The taste is so balanced and full of flavors across the board. The menu selection is very wide, based on the dishes we enjoyed, this place needs several visits, I wish I was in town longer.Here’s what we had:Instalata con Endivia Belga e Prosciutto, this is a special dish outside the menu, but very refreshing and light.Our mains were the Fettuccine Carbonara, the Linguine con Cozze e Vongole, the Gnocchi di Patale, and the Pollo alla Parmigiana with a side pasta. Guys, the above is not in any particular order of taste, the food was seriously amazing, this place should definitely be on any Italian food lover’s list.Hope you would be able to visit, and enjoy San Francisco ?.Oh, and the by the way, the service is the cherry on top, it was a pleasure for us meeting Charles and chatting about our menu options.“
“After 20 years later my husband and I back to enjoy the pizza, a bottle of wine , espresso coffee and they delicious Tiramisu OMG this restaurant sill with the best food and the best service, a Italian gentleman and a Yucatán gentleman make us totally happy with our meal.????“
“Excellent espresso coffee, friendly service and a lovely brunch menu. I look forward to returning sometime for dinner. The chef’s were prepping a range of fresh looking ingredients and the smells emanating from the kitchen were beautiful!“
“These slices were hitting! I ordered 4 different slices to try a little bit of eveything. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything in their menu. But a slice is so easy and convenient. I would honestly say their pepperoni pizza was the best! I love that they aren't shy and just like on the pepperoni! Each bite was meaty and cheesy. They were crazy busy but worth the wait! Honestly pricing was very reasonable and service was good. Super chill and easy! Loved the vibes here, I will be back forsure!“
“I liked Za a lot - they have a new york style pie (so, thin) and a cornmeal crust. You have to like that sort of thing, and know how to eat it - newbs let it cut their mouth and cry about it. Don't do that, don't be a newb. The owner was named Buzz, I went their for a lunch slice. Very friendly and toppings came through / weren't overwhelmed by the sauce. Nice neighborhood spot.“
“Perfect Italian authentic restaurant when enjoying North Beach neighborhood. zor my friends birthday I got us tickets to dear San Francisco, which is a wonderful show at Club Fugazi just 3 blocks away from this great restaurant! Paolo took wonderful care of us. His wine, suggestions and appetizer and entrée tips were the best! The pasta is homemade and very delicious and special. We tried the gnocchi with pesto, as well as a delicious braised meat, red sauce over fresh linguine. We also enjoyed the grilled (not fried) octopus. The tiramisu for dessert was perfect! I’ve been here before, and I will go back again and again for the service and authentic delicious Italian cuisine.“
“Located in the safe, clean and lively Castro area, this was an amazing finish to our day. If you're craving fresh, quality ?, American Italian food, big portions and a dinning room with a ton of character The Sausage Factory is a sure bet for a great dinner. In a world of restaurants serving swill and disappointment, The Sausage Factory is easy on your budget and will leave you satisfied for sure.“
“The funghi pizza which I took away to eat in front of the painted ladies could have been one of the best pizza I have ever had. A lot of mushrooms and other delicious ingredients. The crust was also not too big and was really good. The service is not very friendly though and the prices are relatively expensive. I would still strongly recommend.“
“Angie’s is amazing — probably the best thin crust pizza in the city! Wood fired with organic dough is the way. My girlfriend and I have tried almost all the pies on the menu and every one is great. The date + margarita with pesto drizzle are so good. Simple yet delicious apps including mixed greens salad and meatballs are also delicious.“
“We had a late lunch with a large party. The food was very good and service was excellent. Our server did a wonderful job providing the suggestions we needed. We split three pizzas, some meatballs, bread and soft cheese.The neighborhood was definitely sketchy but we didn’t have any issues with anyone. Once inside the cute restaurant we forgot about what was outside.“
“Love this bakery so much, you can never go wrong with their baked goods, don’t sleep on their pizza especially the pepperoni it’s so good! Along with the great food they serve they have an even better service, they’re very welcoming and kind.“
“The restaurant is quite a tight space, and they probably serve around 500 pizzas during weekend dinner rush. Though it was packed, the staff is quick. DELICIOUS truffle pasta, decadent pistachio ricotta pizza. Absolutely in love. We didn't talk at all while we ate, just devoured. Order a wine to shorten the wait and dilute the noises.“
“A San Francisco gem. Unique take on square pan pizza; sauce & cheese were excellent, crust was ok, a bit too burned (we’ll try ordering light next time). Mushroom appetizer was delicious but the star of this place is the pizza. Great drinks; semifredo dessert is A++“
“I have loved Beretta for years! Service is fast, food is delicious, staff is kind, & it is not crazy expensive. Love the beets, zucchini (when in season), caesar salad, brussels, pizzas, and the TIRAMISU. Yes, they've changed the tiramisu recipe recently for when you dine in - I prefer the old way. Yet, won't knock off a star, They deserve all the stars!“
“Came here with my family for the first time trip try this place out. Called ahead and they don't take reservations. There is a public parking lot just a couple hundred feet to the left of the restaurant. Parking is only free on Sundays. We went on a Sunday night for dinner and the place was almost full. I tried their mushroom soup which was thick and had a strong mushroom flavor that was really flavorful, creamy and not salty. Their cup is really a bowl. Very generous serving. I ordered their mushroom ravioli with truffle sauce. The ravioli was all dente and the mushroom truffle sauce was very good. We also ordered their bruschetta which had several different variations. Probably the best bruschetta that I have tried. With so many people in the restaurant, it was quite loud. And having a conversation with your party you will need to raise you voice to be heard.Most entrees were in the $20-$27 range. This is definitely a family friendly place. It would be difficult to conduct a business meeting here during dinner. The place is clean and has a simple decor. Overall I would recommend you try this place.“
“The only complaint I would have is that the music was annoyingly loud. Everyone had to talk over it, which made the restaurant loud and at9pm there were only six tables. Decor could be updated to keep up with the more updated restaurants, but the funky decor lets you know you're in San Fran! Wait staff amazing and food was delicious.“
“First time. Waiter was very friendly and tentative. Drinks and food came out in a timely manner and it was yummy! All of it was really good but my favorite was the beet salad, the spaghetti pasta, As for the pizza, I think we tried 4-5 different ones. My favorite was the pepperoni and the mushroom. Dessert... we did try all 3 and they were all my favorite. Was a great experience.“
“This is the one! Little Star on Valencia was the polar opposite to this location. Staff is nice, attentive, quick, and professional. The restaurant had a good amount of customers yet our server always came back to check in on us. My favorite is the deep dish. This one came out delicious and had lots of roasted garlic chunks! I will be coming back when I get a craving. I'm not a crust person but I love eating theirs.“
“Napizza is one of my favorite “go-to” restaurants in SF.Their quality of food is 10/10.Their service and attentiveness is 10/10.Their wine list is a 10/10 (primarily Italian reds).I have brought many friends from out of town and guests here to eat, as its ambiance is one of coziness, its intimate (in terms of its size), and fun (they tend to play music towards the evening depending on the crowd / customer vibe).Do go check it out, and don’t hold back on trying different things on their menu!P.s. I love their Caesar salad + anchovies“
“Immediately was greeted by kind employees with amazing personalities! Ordered myself a meet lovers calzone (small) ended up being able to feed 3 people! Great flavor with the cheesiest cheese and plenty of it. Recommend to families, couples or anybody wanting some good authentic Italian Pizza! Came all the way from Sacramento for Chicos!!!! Me and my wife will be back for sure!!“
“Thinner crust than typical NY style but the dough is absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of airiness, chew, and char. (Not crackery in the least bit.) Slices are easy to hold in one hand. Flavors are absolutely spot on no matter which combo you get. I leave delighted and impressed every time I come here. Best pizza in the city as far as I'm concerned, and I've tried a lot!“
“Restaurant closes at ten and we got back to our hotel around 9:30. I always feel like such a jerk walking into restaurants when they're close to closing. I asked the waiter if they close at ten and if they're still seating people or not. The waiter literally went and rearranged a table to make room for my family and insisted it was okay and to please come in and sit down and relax. The food was brought to us within ten minutes. Probably the best food I've had our entire trip. 5/5 stars to the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Will absolutely be returning here on our next trip through SF ?“
“This place has great pizza. Love their cheese pizza slices. Veggie slices, pesto slices and pepperoni slices are really good also. Really fresh and hot. We had their pizzas at the restaurant, but a lot of people tend to do take out or pickup. Service friendly.“
“Back to Back adds warmth and flavor to the relaxed and quiet streets of Nob Hill, my neigboring neighborhood. Its special to support a family run restaurant by two siblings whose parents formerly ran a restaurant in this very same space. Hence, the name Back to Back. The food is undoubtly delicious and has interesting recipes like the Hot Honey pizza, but for me what really makes this spot a standout is its energy and story. The whole evening it was abuzz and our waiter offered helpful guidance while also being delightfully charming. Hot tip: the chocolate cake is very rich and dense so plan your offering accordingly“
“About a week ago my family and I decided to try Presidio Pizza located on Divisadero St and we all loved it! There were so many options on the menu and it was hard to choose since it all looked so good but we ended up getting the grandma style pizza. The pesto drizzle was a nice touch and the pizza was so soft and warm and definitely satisfied my pizza craving! All the ingredients were fresh and evenly distributed on every serving. I would recommend this place for people to try definitely!“
“Battling a serious case of the Mondays and the post St. Paddy's day blues, I had been craving a burger for hours when I remembered I get to pass this San Francisco staple on the walk home. Sam, his son, and the chef's have been grilling up American style cheese burgers over a flame grill in this hole in the wall for nearly 60 years. Their classic recipe is the epitome of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Served on a paper plate with all the fixins, this not a fancy grommet-style meal, and there's no secret ingredient that keeps people coming back for more. It's the back to basics deliciousness paired with the old style feel of diners of the past. Staffed by only one or two people at a time, they're flipping burgers and making them consistently amazing and quick. Sam's hit the spot and 100% satiated my craving. They're open late on the weekends, so I'm looking forward to popping in again soon to round off a night out.“
“Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco is a slice of heaven for pizza enthusiasts. Nestled in the heart of the city, this pizzeria crafts authentic Neapolitan-style pies that are worth the wait. From the crispy yet chewy crust to the flavorful sauce and fresh toppings. The ambiance is cozy, perfect for a casual dinner or a laid-back hangout with friends. The menu offers a variety of options to suit every palate. Tony's Pizza Napoletana is a must-visit for any pizza lover in the Bay Area.“
