Capri, Italy | PIZZA! | PIZZA |
OK first, let’s get a few things straight: 1) You’d have to try pretty damn hard to have a pizza here that’s not tasty. Either that, or you’re onna those types who only like Sicilian deep-dish. Or you’re just a Pizza Hater. OK, we did find one place, after 4 visits here over the past [...]

Capri, Italy | Hittin the Road | PIZZA |
PRO: Excellent Bufala Margarita pie! CON: Nothing…well, maybe offer a white wine? It gets hot here! First stop after landing at the Napoli airport on our way to Capri? Pizza pie, kittens! From the source, to boot – Napoli, the birthplace of the Margy Pizza. We always have gone straight from the Napoli airport to the ferry [...]

Paris | ITALIAN |
PRO: Great thin crust pizza CON: Service can be a little brusque at times (doi, we’re in Paris!) Yes, VdV is different. Vive la Difference! We zig when others may zag. Case in point?

PRO: Great pies, cool space, very good menu, solid service CON: If ya still hate Nate, you SF-ers! So, I like Pizza.

Chelsea | PIZZA | CASUAL
PRO: Good pies, fresh sauce, good service, good beer selection CON: Weird location, not as thin crust as we like our Neapolitan-style pies Hmmm. I am uncharacteristically speechless.

Marina/Cow Hollow | PIZZA! | ITALIAN | FANCY & SCMANCY

PIZZA! | South Beach/SOMA | ITALIAN | CASUAL
PRO: Great food – Some of the best thin crust in SF, excellent Lasagna CON: Not much, a little light on the ambiance perhaps I never think of strip mall restaurants in SF.

PIZZA! | Potrero Hill | PIZZA | CASUAL
PRO: One of the best Napoli style pies in SF, excellent Linguine w/ Clams, great staff, reasonable prices CON: None, really. Finally! Another good reason to come to lower Potrero Hill besides an Anchor Steam Brewery tour. And if any of ya are saying “VdV, what do you mean? Are you forgetting about the new Whole Foods?” [...]
PRO: They sell it by the slice, good if you’re in a hurry CON: One slice is about all you’d want, and they don’t serve beer Yeah, you know. We’re always on the hunt for killer thin crust ‘za. VdV is insatiable in our quest to find the best pies and slices out there. And some nay [...]

North Beach | PIZZA! | ITALIAN | CASUAL
PRO: Authentic Naples feel, nice space, very nice people. CON: Maybe an ‘off night’, but it took forever to get our order, the pies were way too doughy and the sauce was lacking taste. We hit this place last night, thought we’d give it, oh, 5 nights of being open to work out the kinks! Hey people, [...]

Richmond | PIZZA | CASUAL
PRO: good pizza, fresh ingredients and a weekly rotating menu CON: very small, so expect to wait I warned you, didn’t I, that we are on a pizza crusade? Yes. So not to let you down, I gassed up the hoopty (yes, this is the correct spelling, though you can also spell it ‘hooptie’ but I also [...]

Hittin the Road | Lake Tahoe | PIZZA! | PIZZA | CASUAL
PRO: Awesome thin crust pies in…Tahoe! CON: Sometimes have to pound on the window to wake them up So we’re sitting at our now defunct favorite Mexican restaurant in Tahoe City complaining like whiney little bitches about how bad WC Pizza usually is, as we do, when our Tahoan friend Jason exclaims “Wait a minute, that means [...]

Greenwich Village | PIZZA! | PIZZA | CASUAL
PRO: Authentic NY Pies, good scrappy vibe CON: Lines can be a little long So ya may have heard – we’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pizza lately. Especially when we visit our home away from home, NYC. You can thank our clogged arteries and sky-high cholesterol for all this work, you VdVers! Anyhoo, some [...]
PRO: Cool little space CON: Way overrated pies Hi. So last Sunday afternoon we got a wild hair and ventured outside of the comfort of our SOMA hood…to..the…MISSION! OMG. “Oh no you didn’t”‘ “Oh yes we did beeyatch”. Anyhoo, we love the Mission, big fans. Just have to get off our good for nothing asses sometimes to [...]
PRO: Great NY-style thin crust pies, other great chow too CON: No resies! So last night, we ventured out of our comfortable South Beach ‘hood, along with our friend Candida to…The Mission! Yipes, on a Saturday night?! To a restaurant that doesn’t even accept resies? To a place about as big as a troll’s first studio apartment? [...]
PRO: America’s first pizza! Classic NY spot, great pies CON: Popularity makes for long waits. Waahhhh! So in addition to discovering the best of the best buffalo wings, we’re also on a mission to find the best pizza outside of Capri Italy, which would just so happen to be the pizza at Ristorante Aurora (OMG this stuff [...]

Russian Hill | PIZZA | CASUAL
PRO: Great ‘hood spot, solid slices and good beers CON: Not much In my NY not-so-humble opinion there ain’t THAT many good pizza joints in SF. Bagels suck too for that matter. Get H&H overnighted from NYC. I think it’s the water in the dough but that’s another conversation. Za Pizza is a great place to knock [...]

Midtown West | PIZZA! | ITALIAN | CASUAL
PRO: Great super-thin crust pizza CON: Not if you’re a crispy crust fan OK first things first. No whining (or unsubscribing;) about this being the first post in a month, and then NOT having it be SF-related. We’re gonna start cranking out local slop real soon! Oh yeah, Happy New Year! So, do ya wanna kick-ass thin crust [...]
I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to go to this place. John’s been but alas, I have not. So when our friend Aarti said, hey let’s do Delfina for “D” (she’s wading through restaurants in our great city by the alphabet) I said Heyohhh, I’m in. Secretly I was “dying” to try out [...]

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 [...]
