Za Pizza

Slices are generous in size, served hot and taste good. I like the usage of corn flour to give the crust texture ; the pizza is neither thick nor thin- it’s the right size. Superb service from owner. I believe a coke should be free when the pizza is six dollars. Their walls are strewn with terrible drawings from children; the wall looks like album cover of sympathy for the devil by Rolling Stones. After pizza go for ice cream at Swensens nearby

Delicious, italian style pizza! The staff is super kind and the whole place has a very appealing family atmosphere. We went for the medium-sized pizza which was enough to satisfy two kids and two adults. In case you are more or less hungry, you can also order by the slice. The pizza has a thin crust which comes out crispy, as it should be. The chef is stressing the dough by hand, like it is done in italy. You can watch the whole process.

NY boy living in California. It can be hard to find really good pizza in San Francisco. Many have told me to try Za. It took me a while, but finally made it! Had a slice of their sweet sausage and cheese. Both were delicious. Perfect crust, cheese is amazing. Just an all around solid slice of pizza. Quality ingredients. This will be one of my “go to” places.

Why is it that the simple things in life can be some of the best things in life? Frills and hype don’t necessarily equal greatness. We sure found that to be the case at “Za Pizza.” Either their pizza/people combo beckons you here or you simply pass right on by their humble establishment. I counted three tables and three barstools inside, two tables outside, and exactly one television. Yeah, if you’re here, you’re here strictly for the pizza and the people. Not a bad combo though, right? This place just overflows with genuine local vibe, so no posers, please. Be real or be gone (my words, not theirs). Our server was super friendly and provided great advice about an adventure we are planning for later on this trip (stay tuned!). While I was attempting to secure one of the aforementioned tables outside, he was apparently chatting it up with my wife inside. When he met me outside he said he didn’t realize the weather was so nice today and that I must have brought the nice weather with me from San Diego. When I asked how he knew where I am from he said, “Your daughter told me when I met her inside.” Yeah, I will literally NEVER live this down. 🤦‍♂️ As much as we enjoyed his company, we planned our visit mostly ‘cuz of the (piz)”Za.” That thin crust was just so light and seemed to nearly yield a “crunch” with each bite. We don’t often include pics of pizza crust, but felt compelled to do so this time. Although we customized our “Za”, they also offer a set menu of pizza by the slice options if you’re in a hurry (or traveling solo). Come for the crust, stay for the people (or vice versa). Just get here if you’re near Russian Hill. And that’s…Henry’s Take. #sanfranciscopizza #russianhillpizza
