This is the best pizza ! The owner is great. I loved the entire experience. Must eat ASAP. Don’t wait until you get home. Have a picnic ! Fantastic ! For those that say it’s ‘ light on toppings ‘ ..that’s how real pizza is done. American pizza slathers tons of toppings and weighs down the pie. This is Italian !

Well, I just discovered my new favorite pizza place in SF. I’m from the east coast originally and this pie hearkens back to the classic NY style slice. Thin airy crust with just enough chew, great sauce with a little peppery kick, and toppings chosen with care.

The pizza rocks

Good pizza!

Kind of a hybrid Neopolitan-NY style. The toppings on the classic were delicious with fresh tomato flavor. I appreciated that the toppings weren’t overloaded and it helped preserve the crust undercarriage.

The best. You need to go to the website and plan ahead but it’s well worth it. Every ingredient is delicious and the toppings are not too crowded - the crust has room to shine.

The only time my pizza has turned out anything short of amazing was because of a distracting car accident nearby and he offered to remake the pizza since it got overcooked.

If you’re looking for legit pizza— this is your place. Love everything about it — so much that we named our daughter Emilia after becoming fans in 2010. True Story!

This place is a gem!! I cannot believe I lived pretty much next to it for 5 years and didn’t know about it!! The first time I tried the pizza was two days ago. I ordered both the vegetarian and the hot honey pizzas and it was delicious. I went back for the extra cheese pizza and once again, just divine!!! I actually love that it’s one person (maybe the owner?) making the pizza and taking their time. It’s visibly their craft. I can’t wait to bring it to all my friends and family to try.

Fantastic Italian style pizza! One man and a pizza making station, simple and pure and I love it. Not something you can order on a whim unfortunately but worth planning ahead.

A pizza situation without complications. we picked up our first pizza from here, the "Standard" exactly on time and it was love at first sight when we opened the lid,, we ate most of it on our drive home, discussing the high harmonies & the perfectly neutral crust. it was a 20 minute conversation. on a search for pizza that reminded us of our childhoods, whenever that was; not too acidic; floppy but with a crisp. no one is fighting in this pizza. a sad intermission while finishing the crust then biting into the next slice remembering why you love pizza all over again. by far the best pizza of this type (maybe all types) in the bay. close second (need more tastes) to mother dough in LA (RIP). thank you pizza man.

Had pizza delivered. We had a Pesto Chicken pizza and there version of a supreme. Food arrived hot and was so so tasty. Had plenty of toppings, cheese and sauce. Reasonably priced and convenient. Did not disappoint. (our only issue was we didn't see the tip we left the delivery driver on the receipt he handed us, but it was on the electronic receipt. Really hope driver got his tip.)

The pizza tasted good but it was light on ingredients and the chef/owner really had one style-his. Don’t ask for extra Parmesan because it’s already on the pizza and no peppers available. It was good but there are so many better options that I won’t be back.

Pizza window that delivers indelible pies. What a special experience having our first bite of that airy, crisp dough! The sauce is perfectly pungent yet sweet - oh so memorable. My fiancé and I will be coming back!
