I love pizza, and this was the first time I couldn’t finish one. My husband has talked about Golden Boy Pizza in SF so many times, and I recently found out they have a location near my place. I was super excited, but it ended up being the worst pizza I’ve ever had. It was definitely undercooked—the whole thing was gooey. I ordered the clam and garlic, and the garlic tasted completely raw. I’m Asian and I love garlic, but even I can’t handle that much raw garlic in one bite.
It really seemed like the whole pie was undercooked.
Maybe it was just a bad day for them, since I’ve seen good reviews for this location. I hope the owner sees this and improves it🙏

I don't think it's a dine-in place you can dine outside I think but not inside. Pizza tasted good all the times I've gone there

First time trying golden boy pizza and I gotta say; it was one of the best pizzas I ever had. The edges were crispy, the pizza itself was fluffy like a cloud, and the toppings delicious. Definitely coming back again.

Ordered build my own pizza :
Sausage,pepperoni, pesto sauce on top, mushroom, and raw garlic.

Good not great. Got the large combo. Expected more I guess. Crust was not as crispy as I thought it would be. Ingredients on pizza are above average. It's an excellent value.

We went here yesterday to order a large pie. There is no seating to eat your pizza. It's grab and go place. They serve whole pies here. We ordered yesterday, but the pizza was undercooked and doughy. It was very floppy. It was hard to eat it. I wish I could get my $$ back, but it is too late. I was so disappointed as it was nothing like the one in SF. I am never going there again. It's one of the worst pizzas I have eaten.

Went on a friend's recommendation for the clam and garlic pizza. Also got their combination with it.

Overall it isn't amazing but it was novel. Pizza was solid, above average for sure though. Nothing about it was bad just isn't a top 5 pizza for me.

Pricing is fair as it comes in 4 or 8 pieces so worth a try if local.

Great food. You can't go wrong with golden boy. The only reason I can't go 5 stars is the original goldenboy in San Francisco northbeach. There's something about the crust made there. Very special. Maybe it's the pans or oven, but definitely distinct from the other two shops. They will just have to borrow some of the seasoned pans. Their service was excellent. I ordered by phone and my pizza was ready on time. Freindly staff. There really is no atmosphere as this is a pick up only location. I praise them for serving the san mateo area. Let my grandma try some of their pizza. She is one tough critic, but she let me know that this pizza was delicious. 100% grandma approved.

Craving some amazing pizza? Look no further than Golden Boy! I'm a huge fan, and this new takeout location makes it even easier to get my fix. Everything is made fresh and cooked to order, so you know it's going to be good. Golden Boy Pizza is a must-try in the Bay Area.
