Forkelo ranking · Updated October 2026
3 deep dish pizzas across San Francisco, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Capo's · North Beach
24 dish-specific mentions · 83% positive · 2 source types · menu verified October 2026
A tall, buttery Ceresota-flour crust holds sausage, meatballs and ricotta under a thick, tangy tomato sauce. Rich and filling; most tables share one pie.
Little Star Pizza · Mission
19 dish-specific mentions · 84% positive · 2 source types · menu verified October 2026
A crunchy cornmeal crust carries spinach whipped with ricotta and feta under bright tomato sauce. Lighter and less oily than most deep dish; toppings can vary.
Patxi's Pizza · Hayes Valley
18 dish-specific mentions · 72% positive · 2 source types · menu verified October 2026
A loaded Chicago pie with sausage, pepperoni, peppers, olives and ricotta under sauce on a buttery crust. Very cheesy and heavy; the olives can push it salty.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked limited data until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
