"Where To Wait: Bar April Jean Tony’s is a pizza place that’s notorious for a guaranteed wait—they don’t take reservations, and just about everyone east of Van Ness tends to congregate at the North Beach Italian restaurant for casual weeknight dinners. Grab a cocktail at Bar April Jean while you wait for your turn for a go at Neapolitan or grandma-style pies—the drinks have fun, unexpected ingredients like pie crust or raisins, and you can always count on a buzzy (and probably buzzed) crowd." - julia chen 1
