Golden Boy Pizza
The Verdict
"Thick focaccia-based crust pizza in North Beach"
What you need to know
What to Order
Clam and Garlic: The shop’s signature slice. Whole clams, garlic, olive oil, and cheese on a focaccia crust.
The Crust: Focaccia-based, thick and airy, with a bottom that crisps from sitting in olive oil through the day.
Pepperoni and Cheese: Standard slices.
Veggie Combos: Rotate. Ask what’s fresh.
The Counter
The space is small. A few stools at a counter against the wall. Most customers grab slices to go and eat them walking. Late hours on Friday and Saturday pull a post-bar crowd, though the shop no longer stays open past 2 AM as it once did.
