Best Dishes Under $10: a slice of New York style pepperoni. They also have incredible Sicilian ricotta and meatball, or California-style quail egg, potato, and guanciale. More: http://bit.ly/TbwLaH

Order a Moscow mule with their margherita pizza and meatballs with side of cheesy garlic bread. If you do not want to wait long, try the bar usually a few seats open up quickly!

I'm really disappointed from the world cup winning margarita!! Toney, should visit Golden Boy Pizza (less than 5 min walk) for a taste; or fly to Luini in Milan to remember how dose margarita taste

My favorite pizza in SF. Tough to go wrong, unless you're thinking about getting a table around dinner time. There will be a wait. Save yourself some trouble and get a slice next door.

Tartufo was a good speciality choice option. If you want something more traditional, their margherita is amazing. We also had their New Yorker which I would recommend if you enjoy sausage on pizza.

This is destination pizza. We had the coal fired pepperoni. Excellent sauce. Fresh cheese. Crispy. Six large slices. Enough for two hungry people. Very good salads. We waited 1:20 on a Sat night.

Yea this spot has a lot of great pizzas. Nice sidewalk dining. Tons of diff pizza types (NY, Detroit, Grandma, thin crust etc etc). Need to hit the granny but the classic pie was great. park adjacent

Had the meatballs which were amazing. Incredibly soft and meaty and that sauce is so good. We got the margarita pizza and the white clam with garlic and bacon. A+ all around.

Classic Italian Mortadella E Burrata isn’t Italian even close.~7mm thin crust,pistachio mortadella with mortadella and pistachio are separate-nonsense.Feels like chef’s never been to any part of Italy

Pizza is as good as the reviews suggest. Guy next to me had lasagna that looked fantastic as well. Best part of the place is the variety of preparations for the pizza. They really stay true to origin
Rebecca MaldonadoJuly 11, 2015
Always busy and packed, but surprisingly fast, even the wait time. Delicious pizzas. A must is the giant meatball as well.

Pizza Margherita, the best pizza I’ve ever had. At the time of my visit (Nov 1st 2013) Tony was a 10-time World Pizza Champion. Follow his success here - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Gemignani

This is simply the best pizza I have ever tried. Incredible taste, thin crust but doesn't break. You can eat it all with your hands. I could never imagine anything as good until I tried it

There is a myriad of really good eats that don't involve the pizza. Try a giant meatball with mushrooms, chorizo mussels, burger, or very reasonably priced steaks here for a change of pace.
Andrew HarastaMarch 27, 2018
Some of the best pizza on the west coast! Cool how the menu is divided by different pizza styles across America. Calzones and appetizers are also incredible. Prepare for a carb coma!
Valeria GarciaAugust 18, 2017
I love it! I recommend the New York pizza if you are in a group of 3-4 people. Also all the salads are amazing. The restaurant it self is pretty cozy and you feel comfortable.
Michelle GabeMay 3, 2015
Skip the line and scoop a seat at the bar. Full menu and you can get one of the 73 world famous pizzas that they make!
Spencer BrownellJuly 1, 2013
"That's How I Roll" = the BEST Manhattan that you've ever had! This is arguably the best pizza place in the USA! My only complaint is that they would not make a "vigin" version of a milkshake.
ValNovember 23, 2019
Has vegan cheese (it’s Daiya cutting board. If you hate regular Daiya you’ll probably be fine with this). Order the Napoletana marinara and add whatever you like. Ask them to use a clean pizza cutter
xAmirKatzxJune 20, 2021
Pizza was amazing. Got the ricotta filled squach flowers as an appetizer which was also great. Server was helpful and very nice. Recommended!
Eduardo VieroApril 12, 2019
The best Margherita pizza you can have outside Napoli. Worth the wait in line.

Don't miss the Margherita with sausage, made with San Felice flour proofed in Neapolitan wood boxes, bright, pleasantly salty San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, fresh basil, sea salt, and EVOO. Read more

Look no further for a gluten free pie. Tony's is the best in the city and I have tried them all. Sweet, substantive crust to support the already amazingly well balanced sauce.
Paul NovareseJune 18, 2018
Great pies. I felt weird ordering a “New Yorker” in SF but it was fantastic. Great sidewalk seating.
Antonio BurrowesOctober 26, 2017
Loved the margherita pizza!!! And hippie Stromboli!!! Best pizza I have had in SF I actually went twice on my last trip!!!!
Tara MedeirosSeptember 19, 2016
Pretty much lives up to the hype as far as Napoletana-style pizza goes - get a side order of the honey pancetta fries while you wait for your pie to get out of the oven!
SalvadorSeptember 5, 2015
Margherita pizza and the Spaghetti and Meatballs were both delicious. Looking forward to trying more on the menu.
Wessam JanAugust 24, 2018
Had Margarita pizza and Quinoa Salad. The pizza was the best we ever had, the quinoa needed some more salt and lemon juice.
Doug de WetJanuary 20, 2017
Comfortable and unpretentious, you can't go wrong with the Margherita with its nicely charred, tender crust. Yum!

Maybe the best pizza in the country. If you are in a hurry, go to the slice house right next door. The people are amazing there. And if you are in the mood the sandwiches are just as good as the pizza
Ivo KJune 14, 2015
Tried calzone, margarita, and some sicilian style pizzas, all exceptional. Very good cocktails and cool bartenders. A place I visit on every SF trip.
Javier MurilloJune 13, 2013
The Margherita Pizza it's a very simple pizza, but taste is amazing, keep it simple and perfect. // La pizza Margherita es muy simple, pero el sabor es impresionante, simple y perfecta.
Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 13, 2011
Tony's is famous for it's simple, fresh and tasty pizza. Grab a slice of the famous Margherita pizza, cooked in a 900 degree wood-burning oven, or the award-winning Cal Italia.
Marcel EOctober 6, 2017
We tried the American style pepperoni pizza. It was really good. Would go here first if I ever wanted pizza when in San Francisco.
Calin DaianFebruary 15, 2015
Some of the best pizzas in town for sure. The fig pizza is delicious, but I suggest splitting it and something else with another person, or else it can be a lite too sweet

Wow! The tartufo pizza was unbelievable! Best pizza I've had in a while! Lovely service too!
J JohnJune 3, 2016
The neapolitan pizzas they do here are excellent and so are their pastas especially the carbonara. Service is slow, but that's to be expected. Long wait times to get a table are also normal here.
Abood AbussaudApril 8, 2015
Best pizza in town.. Really crowded so plan ahead.. get the Lillet blanc fries for a starter! and a Margherita pizza.. finding parking here is nearly impossible
Zsolt CsapkayMarch 2, 2020
Sweet service, very nice aperol spritz and great Naples style pizza. Also saw people next table having amazing NY style too!
Daniel StansellApril 24, 2017
Tony's is a 12-time world champ at Pizza, and Forbes has called this place the best pizza in the USA. Expect to wait, but the wait is worth it.
Natalie MJune 1, 2015
I knew everyone says this but Tony's honestly does have the most excellent pizza. There's so many different varieties and they are all fantastic. You must try!!
Robert WOctober 2, 2016
Sitting at the Chef's bar is worth it both to cut your wait time and to afford you a good view of your pizza being crafted.
Zoe WongOctober 18, 2013
Seriously the best gluten free pizza I've had! The meatballs and calamari are not gluten free but are delicious!
Jose PalomaresJuly 13, 2017
Tony's is always worth the wait. Tartufo with prosciutto on the side to please the vegetarians, love and taste for all
Elena BosheskaSeptember 1, 2018
Amazing pizza! There is a reason why this place is voted as the best pizza in SF!be ready to wait though there is always a queue
Laura RoggJune 9, 2017
Awesome pizza selection! We loved the variety of different kinds of pies from all over the world. Also, try the meatballs as an appetizer! They're awesome!
Evgeny MandrikApril 10, 2017
