Evgeny MandrikApril 10, 2017Absolutely Perfect Pizza&Pasta, cool and friendly barman! Great place to visit.
Gokcen KuruJune 16, 2017World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignanis Neapolitan is an award-winner. If u dont want to wait, next door is a good choice for a quick slice. 🎉🎉
Lucas PinzonApril 17, 2018Margarita, soft, thin and easy, you can’t go wrong w it! Hand crushed tomato sauce it’s the cherry of the pie
heatJuly 19, 2013One of the most awarded pizza chefs in San Francisco (9-time world champion), Tony Gemignani only makes 73 of his famous Margherita each day, so get there early!
Each variety of Tony's pizza is made with flour from personally (yes, Tony himself) selected regions to match with the toppings. Tony earned every slice of his World Pizza Cup champion! Two thumbs up!
Vreni NardiNovember 24, 2021Pizzas are famous, Staff friendly in Tony's just when you arrive from Fisherman's up direction Chinatown. This Pizzas can be recommended 👍👍👍
Brad TOctober 26, 2017Four different ovens depending on what kind of pizza you want. Pizza Margherita and the New Yorker are your best bets. Noisey Boy for cocktails. #PizzaNextLevel
Ashok LalwaniAugust 12, 2014Its true what everyone says about this place. Awesome pizza. Try a few of them. I wish they start taking reservations.
Try the Margherita Pizza. It's excellent. If you don't like to wait (sometimes easily 45 minutes), find a seat at the bar and you're golden.
Bullfrog & BaumAugust 27, 2012One bite into “The Barcelona” and it becomes clear why Tony’s serves arguably the best pizza in San Francisco. The extensive list has someone for every kind of pizza lover.
Knitted TravestyJuly 23, 2016We got a Coal Fired New Yorker and a Neapolitan. They were unbelievable. If you want pizza in SF, this is the place to go!
Stephanie C.September 27, 2014If you are gluten free you must try this one. The best I've ever had and very close to "normal" NY style pizza
Jose PalomaresJuly 13, 2017I swear by the Grandma the Butcher. Great combo of meats, peppers and arugula on amazing crispy focaccia.
The Eddie Muenster is a winner with fried kale (!!!), smoked bacon, calabrese peppers, muenster cheese, honey and lemon.
yageOctober 9, 2015Unforgettable pizza! Not expensive. A bar-like atmosphere. You can quickly get a couple of slices "to go".
timoni westApril 17, 2013Best pizza I've had in the city, but a pain in the ass to get to if you don't live or work around that area. You make the call.
Dulce Kadise MartellNovember 18, 2016We got the Siciliana Regina and the New Yorker, both were incredibly good! And very filling... we had leftovers.
Robert WOctober 1, 2016Seats at the chef's bar worth it for the view and shorter wait time. More than two people and you probably want a 20".
Markus 마쿠스June 6, 2013Big recommendation! But bring time. Had to wait 1.5h on a wednesday night. Pizza is worth it though! Choose a pizza by how it's made: oven type & temperature.
Best pizza I've had, in NY or SF. But be ready for the wait, and get the spacca Napoli, better than their Margherita.- Nil UJune 29, 2013I love their amazing the Barcelona pizza. They make it with wood fire. Good choice for people who are carnivores like me.
meredith lMay 11, 2014Sit at the bar. Bartenders are awesome, helpful and generous. Whatever pizza you order- eat it fast. Taste is exponentially better when it's warm.
Peter ParkDecember 24, 2016I'll be honest and tell you while the pizza here were great, I think I enjoyed Tony's smaller shop at the Market on Market.
Scott BNovember 10, 2013Neapolitan pizza made with San Felice flour, in a 900-degree wood fired oven is not to be missed! One of the greats.
GourmetLiveOctober 16, 2010In addition to offering seven Neapolitan pizzas, Tony’s hedges its bets by slinging classic American and Sicilian-style pies and strombolis, & the premises double as a certified school for pizzaioli.
The Chicago style sandwiches here are amazing! Huge, and your choice of Dipped, Juicy, or soaked... Try the tomato beef soaked w lots of giardiniera, you won't be disappointed!
Sean StenstromAugust 26, 2021For lack of a better phrase, Tony’s is and is always bumping - huge sidewalk tables and booths are filled with people chowing down on the restaurant’s wide-ranging styles of pies- The gluten free pizza is the best I've ever had. Amazing other pizzas as well.
Chuck RoslofMay 6, 2018Masterful pizza, available in more styles than I previously knew existed. There's usually a 45-minute+ wait to get a table.
Mary S.April 13, 2013Regardless of how long you wait to get in, the service is very fast, friendly, and on point to clean your table.
Jeff DemartiniMarch 24, 2016Get in early and get anything on the menu. With fresh ingredients directly from Italy you can't go wrong!
Benjy WeinbergerAugust 3, 2018If you don't do well with choice, you might have difficulty ordering. First time I've ever been asked to choose the oven my pizza will be baked in...
Jacquelyn CafassoJanuary 16, 2011Seriously the closest I've had to NY pizza in SF so far! And they have Gino's Italian Ices (if you're from Long Island or Brooklyn, you know waht I'm talking about) It's a little pricey though for a s
Andrea CastanedaSeptember 9, 2011The special menu is available Sundays from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.mincluding Sailor Jerry Mac & Cheese, Jager Redux Caprese Skewers, Jameson Rosemary Potatoes, Lillet Blanc Fries, Anchor SteamCorned Beef
Vlad SavelucSeptember 15, 2015I'm delighted when i find places that care this much about their craft. They will even tell what kind of fire they're using and what temperature
JennMay 10, 2012If you're here in a group, tell your server your budget and ask then to surprise you with an assortment. It's the best way to try everything
TeresaJune 19, 2015There will be lines. If you don't care, go next door to buy slice or get it delivered via trycaviar or postmates
Kimberly SmileyApril 3, 2014One of the best pizza places. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait or go next door & order by the slice.
Lucia ZapataSeptember 29, 2017It might seems a lot of waiting, but once you get a table you realize it totally worths it.
Janel DryanAugust 16, 2011Current Favorites: Wild Robiola (without the speck), Jersey's Original Tomato Pie (with extra buratta). Past Favorites: The Truffle-less Truffle Pie.
Shannon ZMay 11, 2013The Sicilian-style was better than the Neapolitan, I prefer Zero Zero's Neapolitan pizza. Slices are where it's at, cheaper and no line. Also have gluten-free!
Abdulelah Al-GosaibiAugust 3, 2017Some of the best pizza and garlic bread I've eaten in my life. Go for the margarita pizzas.
Traveloco_JoeJune 2, 2013Best Pizza in San Francisco! Get a slice and enjoy it in Washington Square Park across the street. Better yet get 2!!
David ☕️ KleinAugust 7, 2014The pizza is perfect. You can order pizza even if there's only standing room at the bar. Do it.
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 17, 2014Real italian style pizza. One of the best I had so far. Go for the spicy meatballs.
Now offering a much wider selection of gluten free pizzas on a crust designed by tony and made in house. "Door no. 3" is my new favorite cocktail!!!!!
