50 Best Pizza Restaurants in San Francisco

“When paying for the food, I had to choose or enter a tip amount. Since it was a takeout order, I didn't really have to leave anything. But I decided to give a 10% tip ($3.05) just to say, 'Please take good care of my order' haha. And wow, it totally paid off!“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“Really good pizzas! Loved the crusts and the sauce.“

“A friend recently introduced me to Laundromat Bagel & Cafe on Balboa Street in the Outer Sunset, and I'm so glad they did.

The cafe immediately stood out thanks to the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bagels drifting onto the street. Inside, the space felt airy and inviting, with a thoughtful blend of wood and metal accents that created a warm, modern atmosphere. What impressed me just as much was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, smiling, and genuinely friendly. Their warmth made the experience feel personal and memorable.

As for the bagels, they are hands down superior to most bagels I've had in San Francisco. Even without toasting, the exterior had a satisfying crunch while the inside remained light and fluffy. The flavor was wonderfully balanced—neither sweet nor grainy, but pleasantly nutty. Most remarkable of all, the bagels weren't overly chewy, allowing their texture and flavor to shine.

The cream cheese deserves special recognition as well. The best way I can describe it is New York meets Bay Area style: dense and creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy, with just the right amount of tanginess.

I'm thrilled to have been introduced to Laundromat for its exceptional bagels. Now I have every reason to return and see what their pizza and beer are all about.“

“I just walked in during a busy time. The waiters were great and the atmosphere was hoping. I was able to make my order, half bacon&half pepperoni Detroit style. The pizza did not disappoint. I live in Chicago and very picky and this pizza met my expectations. Even good the next morning cold(yes cold).“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“This restaurant very accommodating to food allergies, so much so that they request to report any allergies on the food menu and are very professional when it comes to handling them.

I was blown away by the summer squash pizza and mascarpone/san marzano pizza! Some of the best I have ever had. Perfectly crispy crust with very complex complimentary flavors.

Check out the bathroom when you visit as well, it's very cozy.“

“I'm sorry for this my beloved cellarmaker but it's finally time for a review and I must take off a star for just finishing the saltiest slice of pizza I've ever had in my life. Took me an hour to get through it, even though it was good.

I've been patroning this location ever since moving to this fine City and honestly the pizza quality has gone down over time. The chefs have become totally salt-blind. And they make the wildest pizzas I've never conceived of. They need to tone it down a little bit. Make pizzas people enjoy.

The pizza in question tonight had olives, capers, anchovies, and garlic. High sodium was expected, yes, but not like this.

Easily the saltiest olives I've ever had. And the anchovy texture was horrid. Today I learned I do not like my anchovies baked to a dry leather. Fresh-out-the-tin for me only, from now on. I think I've had enough salt for the whole week!!“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“absolutely delicious absolutely delicious delicious New pizzeria I love it clean the crust is excellent“

“We saw there was a long line and figured it must be really good? We got a slice of pizza and it did not disappoint! The pizza melted in your mouth and had so much flavor! We really enjoyed trying it!“

“Still dreamin’ about the meatballs from Angie’s… had I known better, I would’ve ordered the extra meatball. 😭

Angie’s is a cute, chic restaurant specializing in wood-fired pizza and a seasonal rotating menu. Such a perfect spot for date night!

Absolutely loved the R&B music, the vibes, and, of course, mopped up every last bit of food. 😂

We ordered the heirloom tomato salad, wood-fired meatballs, Margherita pizza, and peach vanilla sundae — and everything was DELICIOUS. It completely satisfied every pizza craving we had.

On a previous visit, we ordered the pepperoni pizza to-go, and OMG. It might be one of the most perfectly balanced pizzas I’ve had — sweet, spicy, savory, and just the right amount of everything.

Great food, great vibes, and a great date-night spot. Definitely coming back for those meatballs. 🍕“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“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....“

“The food is absolutely stunning. Everything is fresh and the flavors mix amazingly“

“The pizza was amazing! Thin crust, and great combination of toppings. Lines can be long, but they also have so many great options for baked goods in the bakery. We got there late so most things were sold out except the pizza, but we definitely will be back to try more. There is limited outdoor seating with some benches outside.“

“a little skeptical coming after hearing mixed reviews but flour and water surprised me in the best way possible.

service was top tier with our server providing detailed recommendations. loved the complimentary sparkling water that was specifically mentioned.

all of the filled pastas were top tier!

carrot agnolotti: reminiscent of a cozy fall, had great spices and flavors. perfectly cooked pasta.

rainbow scarpinocc: the famous signature dish was tasty but honestly expected a little more. would still recommend though

porcini gnochetti sardi: highly recommend. creamy, rich, al dente pasta

budino: don’t typically like chocolate but wasn’t too sweet and decadent.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“Always a go-to when wanting a fast quick meal. One thing I love is they are open LATE! Someone like me who is constantly on the go or working late ... I know they always got my back! pizza slices are huge and squarish. salads are amazing, workers are always polite and customer service Orientated. I appreciate the consistency!!!“

“Not sure how it’s the fourth-best pinsa in the U.S., unless the other three pinserias are also in San Francisco. It’s perfectly fine if you’re hungry and already on Fillmore, but it probably wouldn’t be my first choice otherwise.

They have a good variety of pinsas, although I didn’t find them as balanced as some others I’ve had. They’re pretty heavy on the cheese, and the sauce is a little too sweet for my taste.

The service was friendly, but could use a few tweaks. The staff were almost too attentive. I don’t really need my water refilled every time I take a sip, and at times it made the meal feel a little rushed; not ideal. Also, pay attention to where the water bottle is placed. Our waiter repeatedly put it right on the edge of the table next to our hands even though there was plenty of room elsewhere.

I do feel some sense of accomplishment that I managed not to knock it over.“

“We ordered the Lunch Taco Bar for 20 and were so happy with everything. Delivery was on time and very efficient. Did not get name of man/chef that delivered but he was very nice and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS!!! There was something for everyone and all raved about the flavor and freshness!!! Superb!!!“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“Wow! Some pizza talent happening at this pizza parlor. Best SF pizza i have had. Fantastic crust. I had a gorgeous white pie with mushrooms and beautiful fresh basil and parmesan on top.
Geat find. Will recommend to all my friends.“

“Great food!! Service was fantastic. Consistently good!“

“We love the crispy pizza crust the cheesy polenta & ricotta cheesecake! We appreciate that the staff is really fun and friendly as well. we love it here!!“

“Pizza was pretty good especially if you like a nice thin dough. Small selection of flavors BUT you can get it by the slice. Great crust and great cider selection. The cider selection was actually more diverse than the pizza selection which was liiiiit. And you can get it in a pitcher. Only downside was it was supper expensive and you even have to pay for the sauces on the side.“

“Really nice fair..lovely Americana incredible surprise in the Sunset.exactly what soccer player needs for good fuel.from salads to wings to DIE FOR!!!this place is 55.or even 5.2/5..craft well and sauces..REALLY...great street vibe or in back quiet.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“I don't care where in San Fran you're staying or how you get here, but every vegan NEEDS to come and experience Cybelle's FULL plant-based menu. I had to come a second time to explore more of the menu. As a 12 year vegan, this is by far the biggest vegan menu in a undedicated restaurant I've seen. The garlic knots taste just like Domino's but without the fast food feeling or aftertaste. The mozzarella sticks are DEAD ON with Sonic's (just no cheese stretch). The texture and taste of the chicken wings are FANTASTIC. Loaded fries was jam packed with flavor. This is a must stop in San Fran!“

“A comfortable neighborhood hangout with excellent pizzas and salads. Classic and innovative toppings for both. Good wines but they specialize in beers with an ever-changing list. Lots of people bring their kids, especially from the Circus Center classes. Good place to watch the Warriors.“

“The momo jhol is the absolute star. The tikka pizza is also good, but the momo has been my lunch the past 7 times I have been there. Creamy, rich, and supple soup, with incredibly spiced dumplings. When I have this and a napali beer I can work all day feeling fueled. Slightly barebones in the seating, but the food outshines that“

“Chico’s Pizza completely knocks it out of the park. First off, the food is absolutely great—heavy, delicious pies and massive comfort food that never disappoints.
But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. The staff is amazing—super welcoming, fast, and genuinely friendly every time you walk through the door.
And finally... oh my god, the restroom has a bidet. You do not expect that kind of next-level luxury at a neighborhood pizza spot, and honestly, it is an absolute game-changer. Great food, incredible people, and top-tier bathroom amenities. I love this place!“

“The pizza here is truly incredible. I’ve tried the Peking duck and it’s no gimmick. Super great flavor and very unique. Their regular slices are amazing as well. Moved here from nyc and think this place is definitely up to par with what I’ve had in New York. I’d say compared to Za, Golden Boys, and GIOIA pizza (in Berkeley), Outta Sight takes the cake. Go to Outta Sight and try the best pizza in The Bay“

“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.“

“The Food that i ordered was fantastic specially the seafood pasta in tomato sauce , rich in taste, large serving.

The staff are friendly and very accomodating.
Ambiance was pleasant. I do recommend this place, i enjoyed my visit.“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly servers and of course Delicious Italian pizza😋“

“Great Pizza, great customer service!“

“We enjoyed a terrific meal here pre-theater. Having just lived in Italy, we can attest to the authenticity of the menu. We had pizza for lunch, so we focused on the antipasti (heirloom tomato’s, meatballs, cheeses), which were all delish—fresh and flavorful. Delightful desserts as well and nice wine options. I am not going to lie: the neighborhood is a bit rough but the food is worth it.“

“The Brazilian food is amazing especially the Moqueca and the Feijoada ((:“

“I highly recommend this store“

“Always a hit! You are welcomed like family!“

“My husband and I enjoyed our dinner very much! He had the Paparadele and I had the beet salad and pizza. They were both delicious! We definitely will be going back!🍷“

“We ordered a variety of pizzas from Monterey Pizza—including vegetarian and vegan options—for a business meeting, and everyone loved them! The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced.
A special thank you to the owner, Vaen, who delivered the food to our office personally. It was wonderful meeting her in person—she is so warm and kind. We will definitely be ordering from her again for future meetings“

“Nice and clean place. The menu is pretty extensive so they don’t just make pizza. Surprisingly they have lots of beers on tap. The average price for a pizza slice is about $6.50 Overall, a great place for lunch or a quick snack. Will come again!“

“These photos are from two separate visits. Vega is amazing! Very much a family atmosphere, the staff is amazing and so friendly. Their wine selection is also great and they can help you choose a wine to pair with dinner. I believe the owner or someone owns a wine store down the street so it makes sense. Menu is small for a reason, all of the options are great but the arugula salad and the gnocchi are so delicious. This place is a hidden gem.“

“Best pizza 🍕 I have ever had! Hands down!“

“Fantastic artisan pizzas. We always stop by when we’re in the neighborhood!“

“My wife and I went here for a Italian supper and wow was it good! Only good things to say about this place, and the best service we have had In years. We were very impressed!“

“(Make a reservation)
We arrived at Capo’s around 7:20 pm on a Saturday and were told we would have to wait 40 minutes for a table.
As hungry travelers, we said thank you and as we were about to leave, the hostess finds a nook and sat us down outside. I appreciate the fact that she did us that favor.
There were no patio heaters, so if sitting outside or walking in during busy hours, expect to dine outside in the cold with no heat (during winter).

(The Staff)
It was a very busy night, but the staff did a spectacular job in checking in on us.

(The Food)
The appetizers come in a reasonably sized portion, we ordered the garlic bread with mozzarella and was given a complimentary dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
My partner ordered the meat lasagne and I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka with smoked pancetta. The food was really good, it’s unlike anything I have ever had.
Take in mind that the dishes do serve up to 2 people, on busy nights it make take a bit to get your food, and regular pizzas take up to 20 minutes to bake, deep dish pizzas take up to 45 minutes to bake (but they look like they are worth the time!)

(Conclusion)
I would have loved to sit inside, the vibe is really nice. If you are looking for authentic Italian food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, book a reservation at Capo’s.“

“Stopped by after the 4th of July fireworks, and the place had such a fun, lively atmosphere. Even with the crowd, the energy was great and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I tried the California Chicken pizza by the slice, and it was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving after the fireworks. The service was quick despite how busy it was, making it a perfect late-night stop. If you’re in San Francisco and want a solid slice after an event or a night out, I’d definitely recommend Nizario’s Pizza.“
