Giorgio's Pizzeria

"This 50-year-old go-to for true New York-style (though they’d say Napoli-style) pizza in the Inner Richmond features red vinyl booths, red-and-white checked tablecloths, and a family-friendly attitude. For parents who grew up on the East Coast, it’s a nostalgic trip back to “the good pizza” of their childhood. Thin-crust pies are slung daily out of the small kitchen that also turns out calzones, pasta, and parmigiana. And if tiramisu isn’t your thing, take the kiddos down the street afterward to Genki’s Crepes & Mini Mart for a behemoth sweet: a crepe wrapped around a full slice of cheesecake with blueberry sauce." - Laura Smith Borrman, Christine Gallary

"A hit with the post-kids-athletic-event crowd, Giorgio’s offers a host of pizza styles, including a 10 or 14-inch Udi’s gluten-free option that can be topped with a panoply of fixings, including — for the dairy avoiders in the group — Daiya vegan cheese." - Eve Batey
