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...

The best is the vegetarian ($3.75), with slices of zucchini , black olives , tomatoes , onions , pesto , loads of cheese and a pleasantly bread-like crust with crisped edges. Read more
This is what in Italy we call "pizza al taglio". The pizza is not the most authentic (you know, pepperoni ain't a thing back there) but it's great! I go for the cheese and the vegetarian .
Mmm delicious sicilian style square pizzas by the slice ! Crust is thick and doughy yet still crispy and crunchy. Clam-garlic pizza is $3.75 cash only and pretty fishy... Bar and counter seating only.
The only place worth going to for a late night in North Beach . Cash only . Totally worth the wait, plus the service is surprisingly nice ✨
Square Slices of combination it’s water mount full, delicious pizza , one of the two places in SF that I eat pizza , I strongly recommend, get ready for the evening on the line , worth it, believe me!
Golden Boy Pizza serves up amazing square Silician slices so good that even this native NJ/NYer loves. Don't miss the Garlic & Clam Slice and read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Pesto vegetarian pizza is just amazing. But really amazing.
Golden Boy Pizza has been a favorite in the neighborhood for so long. The secret behind this is that their pizzas are consistently delicious, with a perfect balance of sauce, cheese , and toppings!!!
Love the corner slices filled with clams and garlic ; or if I have to interact with others after I get the (non-veggie) combo slice.
The crust is a perfect mixture of crisp and soft at the same time. Great place to grab pizza and beer . Or take your slice to-go. These guys do pizza right.
Had it two nights in a row, had all 6 variations , they are all incredible. Garlic and clam and Combo at the top of the list, but you can't go wrong!
If you have enough people, grab a spot inside while the other waits in line . Be sure to have your cash ready, but once you're inside there's beer and good times.
Relatively thicker crust - so soft, so delightful - their combination, vegetarian pesto , and garlic clam are my go-to choices. Just get them all dang it!
Best Sicilian pizza in the city , especially late night . Garlic and clam is my go-to, but everything is top-notch and cheesy.
The best slice in SF. Punk rock vibes, craft beer , and outstanding Sicilian style pizza . Can request edge, corner, or center pieces.
Cash only but they have a decent selection of beers on tap (draught ). Their liquor license requires you to consume all booze by 1:00 am.
Here since '78 for good reason - simple recipes = great food! I've had their pizza since '84! You can't go wrong with any slice, Clam & Garlic , the Combo, and Pesto Veggie are must-haves!
Excellent for take out or for a quick sit and eat at the counter. Try their clam pizza and pesto vegetarian too. Bring cash- no cards here!
Such a great pizza spot . I've tried a bunch and can't go wrong with anything they put in the window. Make sure to bring cash!
What a gem! Great, cheap pizza , decent selection of beer and punk music blasting. The staff were funny and made you feel welcome.
Starving in the middle of the night????? Golden Boy will rescue you???????? The pizza is in a class of it's own here. simple seating but interessting nice atmosphere???????? ????
we picked three flavors, all amazing, I was full with 2 pieces; I will definitely go back!
They only make 1 pie of sausage at any given time. It is both the most rare and the most tasty.
Pizza is good and crispy . A slice and a beer will run you about $8-10, less if you get a soda instead. Cash only (ATM on premises), line starts out the door.
Best pizza in San Francisco. Very authentic place. Try clam and garlic pizza !
The Clam and Garlic pizza is to die for!
The best pizza by the slice in the city ! Get two slices, they are very reasonably priced. The place is tiny though, so you probably won't sit down.
One slice of clam and garlic to go, eaten at Washington Square Park is an SF must-do
I love the place, they have an amazing pizza . Good atmosphere
Cash only . Well worth the visit. Come for the simple recipes but great slice of pizza in this 80s dinner-eques space. Mind the homeless outside.
I've become somewhat of a regular here and I keep coming back for the sausage pizza ! It's absolutely addicting. Add some chili pepper flakes for some spice action.
The clam and garlic pizza lived up to the other reviews. And the pepperoni was delicious. 2 slices and a drink for $8.
Delicious, greasy, fresh square pizza with an attitude and a great drink selection.
If u don't mind to wait on the cue for 15 minutes get ur pizza this is the 2nd best after Toni's Italian
Sicilian (rectangular) pizza that could stand its own in a New York pizza shop. Pan pizza with a thicker tomato sauce than your typical NY pie.
Corner slice of the veggie pesto . That’s all you need to know.
This is my ideal pizza place . Love to come here and grab a slice and a glass of wine and chill !
This place is great. Arguably in the top three beat pizza places in the city . Only flaw is that it's cash only but worth the hassle. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Not a lot of meat but the crust is perfect and the sauce is packed with flavor. Best north beach hangover cure after closing. Goto: garlic and clam . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Pretty good late night pizza spot. Big greasy slice. There can be a line but when you're sloshed that doesn't matter.
This is Sicilian style pizza . It's not a New York slice, but it holds its own better than almost every other pizza in SF. The regular cheese and clam & garlic pizzas are both excellent.
Fantastic Sicilian style pizza . Often a line , but it moves reasonably fast.
FFS is it even chemically possible to put more salt in pizza sauce ?? These guys are basically Little Caesar's with fancier toppings- not worth the heart attack unless you're drunk out of your mind.
Before three drinks, this pizza is okay. After three drinks it’s outstanding!
You're already here. You don't need tips. Get the pizza , be happy.
Garlic clam pizza !!! They open until 2:30am but the wait is long.
SO delicious and has a great vibe inside. I can order at the walk-up window while my dog patiently waits outside.
The staff pick the music via their personal iPods - almost always 80's and 90's punk rock though the new girl has some ska for variety.
Bring a lot of cash, because you will want all the pizza
Thick Sicilian-style pieces of focaccia-like crust are loaded with toppings that range from pepperoni to clams and garlic . Read more
On a busy night we had a small mix-up on our order which was immediately rectified and made right by our server and the manager. Amazing customer service and great deep-dish pizza, a must try - Justin K
One of the best pizza places. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait or go next door & order by the slice. - Kimberly Smiley
Try the meatball calzone-- amazing! Crusty and puffy crust, creamy ricotta, and quality homemade meatballs. One of the best meals I've had in recent memory. - Laurel Henderson
We love to sit in the shade here during the day, it's a friendly park, good for groups, families, or just to relax on your own. - Sarah Strehler
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
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 - Natalie M
