"This Glen Park pizzeria churns out the crispiest thin-crust pies in the city. Bite into one and a near ear-splitting crunch will probably be detected all the way in the Presidio. The bottom is also more structurally sound than a mechanical bull. Whenever we come here, we go for the amatriciana with pancetta and a runny egg on top, and the mushroom pie with caramelized onions, truffled fontina, and preserved lemon. The relaxed spot easily functions as a weeknight date destination and a place we'd take a youth soccer team to carbo-load after a game." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Gialina offers a gluten-free crust for any of its Neapolitan-style, thin-crust pizzas for an additional $2. The pies here are no slouching affair, not that any of the options on this list are. Lamb pizza is one of the house favorites, a sultry affair with sumac-spiced meat and tahini yogurt. You can purchase a gluten-free crust to bake your own at home, too, for $10." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Head to this cozy Glen Park restaurant for chef Sharon Ardiana’s menu of wood-fired pizza, antipasti, and pasta. It’s a family-friendly spot with pies that’ll appeal to more mature palates — think sumac-spiced lamb with spring onions and tahini yogurt — and ones that seem sure to be crowd-pleasers, such as four cheese, the New York, and a hot honey pepperoni. Bonus points for the option to make any pizza gluten-free." - Flora Tsapovsky
"We feel as comfortable going to Gialina in Glen Park for a Thursday night double date as we do taking a soccer team to carbo-load after a game. The relaxed spot specializes in thin-crust pies topped with everything from pancetta and soft egg to mushrooms, caramelized onions, truffled fontina, and preserved lemon—and they’re all well-balanced and delicious. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
"Gialina is a family-friendly Glen Park restaurant with an excellent menu of starters and roasts, but it’s the pizza that inspires a daily line there and at its NoPa sister spot Ragazza. Expect a thin crust with the right amount of chew, and a selection of composed pies like the Yukon Gold with potatoes, bacon, red onions, thyme, and gorgonzola." - Lauren Saria
