Gialina is a cozy Glen Park pizzeria famed for its crispy, thin-crust Neapolitan pizzas with inventive toppings, plus a delightful variety of salads and wines.
"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
"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." - Eater Staff, 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.

"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, Dianne de Guzman, Justine Jones

No meal is complete without the decadent Nutella dessert pizza topped with squiggles of mascarpone.
