"If a recent experience with a trendy $50 pizza (after tax, tip, and delivery fees) sent your dad into a spitting tirade, take him to Marc’s (after he calms down). This simple North Beach pizza shop will restore his faith in so-called “artisanal” pies. Marc’s pizza is amazing—made from a slowly fermented dough full of flavor, topped with carefully sourced meats and cheeses, and brought to the table with zero pomp or circumstance. More great news for dad: the Jersey cheese, the cheapest pizza on the menu at $18, is also one of the best." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
