The pesto pizza was delicious and the large was enough for two of us with four leftover slices. If we didn't want leftovers, we'd go with the medium. Also, the salad special was unique and refreshing.

The pizza they make is SF style, if we had to define it, with a thick, yeasty crust that bulbs out at the edges and is baked crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside—a bread lover's dream. Read more

While waiting for your food, draw the Foursquare logo on the paper tablecloth. The house wine is delicious and affordable. The pizzas smell (and taste) terrific. You'll leave happy.

This stalwart has been slinging creatively topped pies for decades now. Reserve its upstairs dining room for groups of 18 or more, and select a family style meal to suit your tastes and size. Read more

Always try the specials (especially pizzas and salads) with fresh ingredients from their farm. And the butterscotch pudding is classic.

Severely underrated pizza joint. Garlicky and wonderful. Unpretentious, unfussy and without a wait. What more could you ask for?

The Wine Bar is around the corner from the restaurant entrance. It has nicer ambience, tasty wine flights, and you can still order from the Pauline's menu!

Makes pretty hearty pizzas that pair well with in-house draft wine. Full carafe will satisfy a group of 4-5 people, guaranteed.

The presto pizza really is dope. Something about their dough. It's a special kind of crispy.

We were two, we shared a medium sized pizza and a mac-n-cheese, it was excellent!

Some of the best pizza in the city. Get the daily specials, they're always super fresh and local. And try the house wine!

The original is still the best! Pauline's has been churning out quality pies with ingredients grown specifically for them for years now and they show no signs up letting up. Get one each of whatever Read more

Their pesto pizza is outstanding, and all of their house wines on tap are great.

Always do the veggie pizza special, but do not ever under any circumstance try to photograph the chef or you will be rebuked in front of your friends

Best table in the house for couples: up front by the window, closest to front door - good views of Valencia street, a little bit private

You can't go wrong with whatever the night's specials are. Can't decide? Put the meat special on one half and the veggie on the other. Done.

Wine bar in back is cozy. Pretty darn tasty house wine too. Lots of organics and vegetarian.

Trust the specials- meat, vegetarian, or both. And definitely the special salad!
Corinna PSeptember 22, 2011
I always get their meat and/or veggie special and it's never done me wrong.

Love the Louisiana style!

They have a large-group / banquet room upstairs, if you're planning a party.

Wine bar is excellent for ~20-40 person private parties.
