    North BeachPizzeria$$

    Tony Gemignani, a 13-time world pizza champion, bakes more than a dozen styles here, from the Neapolitan Margherita (only 73 made a day) to New York, Sicilian and Detroit. North Beach's pizza headquarters; expect a wait.

  2. Golden Boy Pizza

    North BeachFocaccia-style squares$

    A North Beach slice counter since 1978, selling square, focaccia-style pizza by the slice or the sheet. Get the clam and garlic, and go late; it's the classic after-bar stop.

  3. Pizzeria Delfina

    MissionPizzeria$$

    Craig Stoll's first pizzeria, next to his Delfina restaurant on 18th Street, with thin, blistered Neapolitan-leaning pies. The clam pie and the salsiccia are the regulars' orders.

  4. Outta Sight Pizza

    TenderloinSlice shop$

    A no-frills Tenderloin slice shop turning out thin, crisp New York-style pizza that local chefs name as their favorite. Grab a slice or a whole pie; a second shop is in Chinatown.

  5. Del Popolo

    Nob HillPizzeria$$

    Jon Darsky's pizzeria started in a shipping-container food truck in 2012 and settled into this Lower Nob Hill room with a wood-fired oven in 2015. Thin, puffy-edged pies with seasonal toppings; Michelin Bib Gourmand.
