My favorite pizza place of all time ❤️ the nutella pizza is baller

A sleepy neighborhood hit! Seasonal appetizers were fantastic, and the GF pizza was solid. Looking forward to coming back without GF friends to weigh in on the regular crust. A decent wine list featuring Italian wines and helpful notes.

Currently my fave restaurant anywhere (and I spent three weeks in Italy last fall). The amatriciana pizza topped with runny egg is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten… A perfect combination of flavors, and the crust is absolutely beyond. You know a pizza is truly stellar as when the crust is just as good as the toppings (and not just a vehicle for them).
I also get the arugula salad which I love, a glass of awesome wine (bring back the Zinfandel!☺️), and last but absolutely not least is the tiramisu. This is the REAL DEAL: ladyfingers soaked in espresso and rum with mascarpone and chocolate. No corny cake or parfait or ice cream or some weird version that’s missing an ingredient. This is honest-to-goodness tiramisu in its pure state- as it should be, and it is absolutely exceptional.
Thank you Gialina! Absolutely love it there. I see a single parent with a kid eating at a table every single time, which tells you how kid-friendly it is and what a family vibe it has. I go at least once a month, sometimes more.

Sharon is awesome and the pizza was delicious. They made me a gluten, dairy free pizza. Wish I was having it right now 🤤

One of my favorite comfort restaurants in the city. Delicious salads and roasts on top of seasonal pies. Had roasted corn last night and it was delicious. Leave room for Tiramisu. Family friendly, close to mass transit (also fairly easy to park). Plus size friendly seating (although the tables are tightly packed)

Novel pizzas, great service make it a good option when in the neighborhood. Traffic can be thick especially after work and parking is hard to come by but it's very accessible by public transit.

It's been years since I last tried Gialina and I'm so happy that it's still around, still cooking, still having the pizza oven red hot and delivers simple but consistent quality food. We had only three dishes, a Caesar salad, a cucumber salad and a pie and of course a glass of wine. I personally think that Gialina makes one of the best pizza doughs in SF. It's crunchy, super thin and perfectly balanced with the toppings. It's simple but spot on. The Caesar salad with white anchovies is delicious and gets your taste buds fire up for the pie to follow. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
Excellent on all fronts! It’s a tiny place so I do recommend calling ahead to see if they’re busy or just hanging out front if you’re willing to wait. Their diavola pizza is to die for!

Loved it. Im Celiac so the Gluten free option was great. Super GF crust. Artisan quality toppings. Great IPA in stock. Service by Nick was fantastic.

A charming old-school spot with real people and beautiful pizza. You can feel the pride of the employees there—some over 17 years there (I asked)! We tried four pizzas, and each was delicious, thanks to the perfectly thin, toasty crust. The slices light and crisp where you could hold them easily in your hand. Then came the grand finale: the Nutella pizza for dessert—an absolute treat (I would have liked it as thin as the other pizza). To top it off, the house Italian red wine was the perfect match—light enough to complement the meal. You gotta check out htis place. Nicky, thank you for all the advise on what to order.

Light and crispy crust, fresh mozzarella, Phenomenal polenta with meatballs. Staff is super helpful with good vibes. Food was out extremely fast. Decor/aesthetic is minimal and clean.
