Cellarmaker House of Pizza is a vibrant pub in Bernal Heights dishing out delicious Detroit-style square pies with crispy cheese edges and a killer selection of house-brewed beers.
"Cellarmaker has become one of San Francisco’s most respected brewers thanks to consistent quality across all sorts of experimental and classic beer styles. Its pale ales are pillowy and soft, and its dark beers like the Nitro Coffee & Cigarettes, a nitro-smoked coffee porter, are hefty and satisfying. While you’re at it, don’t skip out on the excellent Detroit-inspired square pizza." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"This spot does mainly Detroit-style pies with sponge-like crusts, and serves them in a casual space that doesn't mind if you roll up in a t-shirt and sweats. The move is to sit at the bar, order a beer, and strike up a conversation with whoever’s sitting next to you over a slice of pepperoni with slightly chunky tomato sauce (the best pie here). But any of the high tops in the dining room will get the job done if you're coming with friends and ordering a big spread of multiple pies, salads, and mozzarella sticks.

"The Detroit-style pizza coming out of this Bernal Heights brewery is worth the trip alone—the chunky pies with a caramelized cheese crust make for ideal Friday night sustenance. But presumably, you’re also here for beer. The selection has something for everyone, including tons of in-house brews, guest beers from breweries all over California, and, for the resident beer hater in the group, soda and house wine. Since this is Bernal Heights, kids are welcome, so feel free to camp out for a few hours with your whole family." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
"For pizzas with sponge-like crusts, head to Cellarmaker House of Pizza. Like Square Pie Guys and Joyride, the laidback Bernal Heights brewery focuses on Detroit-style pies, which you can order by the slice. Our move is to grab a seat at the long bar, order a pilsner, and strike up a conversation with whomever’s sitting next to us. But any of the high tops in the dining room will get the job done if you come with friends and order a big spread of food that requires more table space. The pepperoni, with slightly chunky tomato sauce, golden-brown cheese walls, and thick pepperoni cups spilling off the top, is the best pie on the menu—we never leave here without at least a slice. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Pizza and beer are an ideal combo, whether you’re pregaming or just craving tomato sauce and a pilsner on a random Tuesday. Luckily, Cellarmaker House of Pizza in Bernal Heights has a lengthy list of beers on tap to enjoy over Detroit-style slices. The deceptively small square pizzas are sponge-like with crunchy cheese crusts and slightly chunky tomato sauce on top. Get any one with thick pepperoni—they’re so good you'll want to harvest them and bust some out later for a midday snack. If you just want to pop in for a slice, the casual spot has bar seating, and a few high-tops perfect for small groups. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
