Discover the best pizza in San Francisco

San Francisco put its signature into the crust. The city that made sourdough famous runs a pizza scene where naturally-leavened, long-fermented dough is closer to the default than the exception, and the tang shows up in the cornicione.

Neapolitan is the most common style on our map, alongside a well-known slice-and-Sicilian tradition and a strong wood-fired contingent it shares with Los Angeles down the coast. The densest clusters sit in the Mission and North Beach, the old Italian quarter. The city groups under the United States hub.

The most popular pizzeria in the city by review volume is Tony's Pizza Napoletana, one of 12 we list. Did you know San Francisco's sourdough culture bleeds into its pizza? The same wild-yeast starters that raise the city's bread raise a good share of its pizza dough.

Prices read high. A wood-fired margherita usually lands between 17 and 24 dollars. The spots ranked here are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by which room had the longest wait for a slice.
