Everything about this place just clicks and works perfectly. The music, the children’s art on the wall, the overall vibe is a true California pizza shop vibe.
They got a number of slice options, the Monday meat is very good. The sausage and the garlic go well together. The thing that really makes this spot is the dough. It’s super light and crispy, not bready at all but it holds its texture perfectly. Also the pizza isn’t super salty or overwhelming. It’s literally all you could want in a perfect slice.
Also gotta point out that this place does what Tony’s fails to do and actually serves the slice HOT out of the oven. Really can’t say enough good things, huge hot slice of pizza, fair price, fun staff, in a chill unique environment. Definitely worth a stop if in the neighborhood.
They sell whole pies too that get made to order. Will be back.

Glad I was able to find this little hole in the wall pizza place. Me and my fiancé walked into this place New Year’s Day and the owner instantly made us feel like he’s known us for years! Not only was the pizza amazing but the atmosphere was just as good! The pizza was thinned crust, loaded with toppings and was a very generous slice and not over priced! Easily rate this place a 10/10 and we will for sure be stopping by every time we’re in the city!

We randomly walked into this restaurant, and it turned out to be the place where we had the best time in San Francisco. The walls were filled with children’s drawings, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. All the staff were friendly, and we had an especially delightful conversation with the server. The slice was huge, and every dish we tried was delicious. Especially, the rich flavor of crust was nice. The IPA beer was top-notch too. The salad was split according to the number of people and served on separate plates, and the portions were so generous. It was such a great meal for a reasonable price. If you’re looking to have fond memories, I highly recommend this place. I was really hoping to visit again since the server mentioned he works on Sunday, but our travel plan got changed, so we couldn’t make it. I’m looking forward to visiting again someday on my next trip and having another enjoyable chat with him!

Exceptional thin-crust NY-style pizza, quality ingredients and great atmosphere, Hyde street vibe and friendly service. We wandered in unexpectedly and loved it, then up the block to Swenson’s for ice cream on a Saturday night. Most of our group grew up in NY, and were suitably impressed across the board

Za Pizza is a must! Not only is the pizza unique and flavorful, but the atmosphere is so fun and laid-back. The service will make you feel like a regular in your first minute of sitting down.
Shoutout to Matt for the amazing time for me and my daughter!

This pizza place sells mostly slices of pizza, but there is also the option to get a full medium or large one.
Pizza dough is made with semolina flour, the taste is good but at the bottom of the pizza there were lots of semolina’s grains which became hard after baking.
We enjoyed our pizza

Best pizza in San Fran. Hands down! Such a delight, it was perfectly executed, the flavors were on point, the service was fantastic! Good vibes all around, the people seemed happy to be there which matters! They were very accommodating our kids happily, noticing we were going to sit outside and brought chairs without us even asking. Very cool. We will be back as often as we can.

My go to place for tasty pizza. Consistent quality for many decades. This is a true neighborhood spot. But again, the pizza is unique! It is thin and tasty. Brooks, The owner is a neighborhood character. He is part of the experience. Za’s is a place where kids can hang their drawings, it is also the neighborhood drop off station for parcels. This is what every neighborhood needs. Thanks for being here all these years!

One of the few casual lunch spots on Russian Hill you can find open mid-week. Unpretentious, small space, with limited choices displayed on a white board menu. I sat at the counter and went with the Monday Meat “Special” – sweet sausage, tomato, garlic and basil. It was satisfying, delicious and inexpensive. A great slice with good beer on tap. What else could you want?
UPDATE: Back again for the Scaliano Friday special slice and a Kölsch beer. Even better than before.
