"Two-course lunch with a salad and pizza A whole pizza at this North Beach spot is usually $19-25—so throw in a salad, and this is a great deal The chop salad and a margherita or cacio e pepe pizza" - julia chen 1
"Flour + Water Pizzeria, formerly in the Mission and now in North Beach, got a chic makeover. The shiny, much larger restaurant (by the Flour + Water people) has leather booths, boozy slushies, and a big glass “dough room.” The menu at this nice-casual spot is mostly the same, which is excellent news for anyone who’s a fan of fantastic red and white pies with crispy crusts, creamy soft serve, and god tier mozzarella sticks, which are gooey enough to necessitate a wingspan-length cheese pull." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"Formerly in the Mission and now in North Beach, Flour + Water Pizzeria excels in the art of the grown-up pizza party. Red and white pies on thin blistered crusts are paraded around the airy dining room like show dogs—go for the Hawaiian that’s got a sizable kick from dollops of chili crisp, or a cacio e pepe pie that gushes with pecorino crema. Endlessly stretchy mozzarella sticks belong on every table, too. And much like any good pizza party, their thick soft serve makes for an ideal finish." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"The legs of these bar stools kind of look like toothpicks, but don’t let that deter you—the wide wooden seats will keep you comfortable as you dunk slices of pizza in ranch. You’ll find them at the bar and pizza oven-facing counter at Flour + Water Pizzeria in North Beach, home to blistered thin-crust pies. Yes, there are purse hooks, but the chair’s corners can hold a bag just as well." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"One of San Francisco’s favorite pasta destinations branched out with a titanic pizza parlor in the city’s Italian restaurant proving grounds. In June 2023 the Flour + Water group satisfied its fans’ demands — 13 months after closing its Valencia Street restaurant — by throwing open the doors to a massive Columbus Avenue location. While a full-service restaurant, there’s also a Pizza Shop for takeout and casual service on the Stockton Street side, and a dough room showcasing the behind-the-scenes action of making those smoky eggplant pies. The gluten-free pizza is not to be missed." - Paolo Bicchieri
