Scrapp HuntingtonNovember 28, 2013Anyplace that plays punk rock inside is great to me, huge upgrade, last time I was hear some ghetto chick was playing rap, was intolerable to eat there.
Maiko SchaffrathJuly 7, 2015Best pizza place for takeaways and quick bites. Thick slices of American pizza
Amazing! I love the crust, I can't even imagine how good it must be drunk.
aelwin RotterdamnJuly 31, 2010OMG, best pizza we have had on our roadtrip of 3000 miles so far!! The line in front of the door tells you to hold on, because the taste is so good, you'll come back for more!! Try the veggie also!!
Grab a slice of garlic clam if you want a snack; add another slice for a meal.
borys musielakJanuary 12, 2016Good value for money. Proper American pizza sold in slices. Good beer.
KeithFebruary 15, 2015Narrow, hot, crowded. High quality, good service, if a little slow. You'll probably be glad for the fork & knife.
Gaurav B.August 7, 2014These square slices are delicious fatty pieces that you can guilt-free enjoy only when you're drunk.
The pizza is good under all conditions -- if you happen to get it right out of the oven it is UNGODLY DELICIOUS!
John CassilloSeptember 7, 2017Cash only, but you're getting some great Sicilian slices for the trouble.
OndrejMay 10, 2015There's not much places where they make pizza with fluffy dough, it's a pleasant change. The music was very loud but bearable for a pizza snack. I would not go out of my way just to eat there again.- Paul HarrisApril 15, 2018If you are into thick pizza its for you. Only eat it piping hot, expect long lines of drunk people to get a slice. So many better pizza places other than this in North Beach.
Stephanie YOctober 18, 2014Garlic clam focaccia pizza. Your breath afterwards will kill ppl but so worth it
Your late night fix. I like the combo, get it to go and eat in Washington Square while watching the bums, drunks, and weirdness of SF nightlife.
Harrison BrokerJanuary 7, 2014Best Sicilian style pizza around! Be sure to put garlic on that slice 👌🍕
Try the clam and garlic. But you won't go wrong with whatever is just out of the oven and a beer. Ever.
The clam and pesto and veggie are my go tos and they better be corner pieces!
Tim OJuly 22, 2023Might be the most overrated pizza I’ve ever had. It’s fine, if you like Sicilian pizza, but didn’t even come close to living up to the hype. If you’re from NY, skip it. You’re going to be disappointed
Tyler BrockMarch 28, 2015A "sheet" is two (2) whole square "pies" of goodness. AKA a metric fuck-ton of pizza.
Get whatever is fresh in the window - it's all good.
Bring cash and get a square of the clam and garlic! Less than $5 and oh so good.
David SelleAugust 20, 2012Try the Half Pepperoni Half Combination Pizza - Was told "best slice of pizza in the city." Dayum! Straight up.
Really good pizza. Really, really good. All flavors are excellent.
Max BrautigamJuly 19, 2019There’s a reason the lines are so long... this stuff is dynamite. Very rich!
Good price, and limited options (so you don't need to make any difficult decisions). I was disappointed by the clam and garlic pizza that everyone was raving about. Read more
Brady GallJune 19, 2013They have a twilight sparkle and rainbow dash pony behind the bar. Also pizza.
Every pizza here is made with focaccia bread crust! Could it get much better than that?
AshishOctober 29, 2018Hands down, the best pizza in San Francisco. They sell 'em by the slice & each kind has its unique taste and flavor. Inexpensive, delicious & worth the wait. The Clam & Garlic is ridiculously amazing!

Golden Boy Pizza features a few tables, a counter and pizza, and this is all you will find here. Italian-speaking locals mix with people from all over who come here for slices or whole pies made with focaccia dough, thick and dripping with olive oil that makes a napkin required with every bite...

"Great park for picnicking or just hanging out in general. Went to a movie night here and while crowded, it was still a great time."
Keenan Patterson - 6.8
"They have a Ninkasi brewing tap here in addition to many other fine beers. Usually they have Ninkasi Tricerahops which is a beautiful monster of an IPA."
Crispin McCabe - 7.4
"Great for pool and old school styled drinks. This place hasn't changed since at least the 70s but that's what's great about it. CASH ONLY"
