"The Detroit-style pizzas from the Square Pie Guys are San Francisco royalty, and we'd do anything (including going up and down Mount Tam five times in a morning) to get The 6x8 with the curled-up pepperoni cups. But don't overlook the Szechuan dry-fried chicken wings. Well-spiced, salty, and spicy, these wings come with a creamy cilantro lime sauce you'll want to put on everything." - lani conway, julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Square Pie Guys in SoMa (and Ghirardelli Square) is making some of the city’s best rectangular-shaped pizzas. Each one is small but mighty—8x10 and serves 1 to 2 people. The thick but light crust has cheddar baked on the outside giving a cheesy crunch to every bite. And the presentation of pepperoni cups and other toppings like garlic ricotta cream and hot honey is a work of art. Square Pie Guys is also very casual, which is why you’ll find chicken wings, salads, and fries, and a well-oiled takeout operation." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"Great pizza is easy to find all over town—in SoMa alone, you have excellent spots like Pizza Squared, Joyride over in Yerba Buena, and more recent newcomers like Pie Punks. But Square Pie Guys and their Detroit-style pizzas rise above thanks to their thick-but-light crust, and cheddar baked edge that gives a cheesy crunch to every bite. The precise presentation of pepperoni cups and toppings like garlic ricotta cream and hot honey is also a work of art. Square Pie Guys is a very casual spot, which is why you’ll also find knockout chicken wings, a selection of beers and canned cocktails, and a well-oiled takeout operation." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Square Pie Guys’ Ghirardelli Square outpost is the perfect place to enjoy textbook-sized Detroit-style pizzas while staring out at views of Alcatraz. There are massive windows overlooking the water, a patio in front, and, of course, square slices spilling over with gooey mozzarella. Lined with crispy cheddar cheese edges, the crust is somehow light and fluffy despite looking like a brick. The menu is the same as their SoMa and Oakland locations, and full of hits across the board. The classic 6x8 topped with exactly 48 pepperoni cups should be on the table, as should their fully loaded vodka pie with pulled pork, pineapple, and jalapeño. Plenty of beer and wine are also on hand for when you kick back and take in the waterfront setting." - lani conway, julia chen 1, patrick wong
