Golden Boy Pizza - North Beach

Dear Golden Boy: You are my best friend..never judging as I stumble in after partying all night for a quick slice (or three), never putting the moves on my baby, always there for me to make sure the night ends on an up note and my AM is free of hangovers. What did I do to deserve you?

Whoa, OK that just got a little weird. But god damn, this pizza ROCKS, my friends. This is the quintessential SOAKAGE 'Za. We don't usually flock to the thick-crust style, we're more the strictly traditional Italian thin-crust fans - check our fave place in Capri, Italy.

But the Golden Boy delivers (not literally sucka, you have to drag your drunk ass over there). They must lace this stuff with some kind of drug. It is Pizza Ecstacy. We housed three HUGE slices the other night in the taxi between GB and our place in South Beach. Didn't speak a word to each other except for 'quit hogging the f'ing pizza!'.

Aww right! So you want details, do ya? Here we go:
1) You can grab a bar stool or table, or do what most of us do - stand in line like a beggar, and get your slice(s) to go
2) The crust is soo good. Thick, doughy, even a little sweet. You could eat the crust PLAIN. It's that good. Always cooked to a perfect  golden (hence the name) brown.
3) The cheese..mmmm. I don't know if it is the best Romano yada yada. I just know it hits the spot.
4) Doesn't matter what kind of toppings you get. It is all good. We like the Pepperoni and the Cheese.
5) If the person next to you in line drools on your shoes, let it go. He (or she) is either frothing in anticipation for the slices, or about ready to heave after throwing back one too many shots at one of the many bars in the 'hood. No need to get in a fight, either way just give a little room.
6) Tip the servers, man. The slices are a bargain
7) Contrary to us alluding that this may only be 'drunk' pizza, this place is awesome day or night, buzzed or stone sober:)
