Pizzeria · North Beach · 245 tips and reviews
Rey Flores: Here since '78 for good reason - simple recipes = great food! I've had their pizza since '84! You can't go wrong with any slice, Clam & Garlic, the Combo, and Pesto Veggie are must-haves!
Joshua Chan: Relatively thicker crust - so soft, so delightful - their combination, vegetarian pesto, and garlic clam are my go-to choices. Just get them all dang it!
Gunnar Aasen: This is Sicilian style pizza. It's not a New York slice, but it holds its own better than almost every other pizza in SF. The regular cheese and clam & garlic pizzas are both excellent.
