📝 The Full Story

It's a place in San Francisco that has some awards, especially if you want to go for the Margherita or the Mozzarella one. They have seven different ovens for different styles, and they say that some of the pizzas will be sold out. I've never seen any pizza sold out, but just go early. Make the line. It's totally worth it. Tony Gemignani's temple to pizza showcases mastery across multiple pizza styles, from Neapolitan to Detroit-style. Multiple world pizza championships validate the hype. Each oven is calibrated for a specific style, ensuring authenticity in every slice. The Margherita from the wood-fired oven is a classic, while the Detroit-style square pie offers something different. Arrive early to avoid the crowds, but even if there's a wait, it's part of the experience at this North Beach institution.
