Golden Boy Pizza

Golden Boy Pizza has been a North Beach institution in San Francisco since 1978, selling its trademarked 'San Francilian' style pizza — a thick, airy focaccia-based rectangular pie with a perfectly crunchy bottom — decades before Detroit-style pizza became trendy. The clam and garlic slice is a late-night city classic, best eaten standing on the Green Street sidewalk after midnight. KQED and local food writers celebrate Golden Boy as one of the city's most enduring and atmospheric slice shops.
