50 Best Pizza Restaurants in San Francisco

“Simple, Delicious and Friendly!
Stopped by Golden Boy Pizza and tried their Veggie Pizza in a small size — and it absolutely hit the spot! Tasty, fresh, and just the right amount of satisfying.
What made the experience even better was the staff courteous, helpful, and genuinely great at walking you through the options and recommendations. A small touch that goes a long way!
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. 🍕“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had a great experience here. The pizza came out hot and fresh, with a flavorful sauce, plenty of cheese, and toppings that went well together. The crust was especially good—crisp on the outside without being too hard, and soft in the middle. The staff were friendly, and the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. It’s a great spot when you’re craving a satisfying pizza, and I’d happily come back to try another one.“

“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.“

“Worth the drive across the city from the Mission to eat here. It was a little cool outside so we were glad to find there was a table for 4 inside.

Our group of four shared 2 starters, 3 pizzas and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious. Favorites--marinated tomato starter, spicy San Marzano pizza, and Panna Cotta with fig“

“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!“

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

“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. 🍕“

“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 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.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“It's been a classic in SF for so long for a reason. This is a must visit. Book early or you will not get in. If you fail to get in look up their sister restaurant penny roma, also incredible. The best deal here is the tasting menu. You 100% get your money's worth and get to try several off menu items. I live a 2+ hour flight away and I'll always try to get a table when I visit.“

“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!!!“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“This is by far the best pizza in SF and it’s not even close. Not only do they sell by the slice which for some reason is a rare thing in SF, the slices are incredible. Perfect taste, crust, everything. I had the spicy vodka and the mushroom slices, fantastic. 10/10 no notes“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great Pizza, great customer service!“

“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.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“How does this place continue to deliver such satisfying vegan eats year after year?! We love the Twice As Nice sandwiches and bulky steak fries. The pizza is fabulous, too. Monster Slices all around, please! And, if you can, save room for the beignets with chocolate sauce as they can't be beat. It's a must-stop for vegans and omnis alike. Wonderful atmosphere and staff make the experience all the better -- don't miss it.“

“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“

“We broke down and had to order out, tonight. Couldn’t wait to get home!“

“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“

“Great food with awesome service! Definitely a San Francisco go to restaurant.“

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

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

“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.“

“We got the Rudy and garlic knots, pizza was fantastic however the garlic knots (4 knots for $9) were a little hard hence the 4 star on food. The staff was amazing and it was a chill aptmosphere with sports on the tv 😎 we would absolutely go back but would skip the garlic knots. Great job!“

“I highly recommend this store“

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

“Delicious food, great drinks and amazing service.“

“I came in as soon as I got off from work around 11pm and the 2 gentleman working were the absolute kindest on the planet! They were so fast and genuine! I used to frequent the Nozarios on Sfsu campus as a student and their amazing food and atmosphere had been one of the amazing transitions in my adulthood in outer richmond! Give them the business they deserve it!“

“The crust … yum!!! Love this place and I am so glad they are open when I am working in the office. Parking is a little hard. Salad is really fresh. We have not tried their specials yet but we will soon. Very friendly staff!“

“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“

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