Best New York-Style Pizzas 10 dishes ranked Large round hand-tossed pie with a thin, foldable slice — crisp-bottomed, chewy cornicione, low-moisture mozzarella and a simple tomato sauce. Sold by the slice or as an 18-20 inch pie. Not Detroit square, not Neapolitan.#1 Plain Cheese (18") The Pizza Shop · Mission 9.6 High confidence -
Best Detroit Pizzas 8 dishes ranked Detroit-style square/pan pizza with cheese to the edge (frico/cheddar lace), crisp bottom, and airy interior. Prefer a specific named pie (e.g. The Pepperoni, Detroit vs Everybody, DET Combo Americano) at a restaurant.#1 Detroit Bacon Pie Punks · SoMa 8.9 Medium confidence -
Best Margherita Pizzas 6 dishes ranked The Neapolitan classic: tomato, mozzarella and basil on a thin, blistered crust, and nothing else. Judged on the sauce, the pull of the cheese and the char on the rim, with no toppings to hide behind.#1 Margherita A16 · Marina 8.1 Medium confidence -
Best Pepperoni Pizzas 5 dishes ranked A pizza topped primarily with pepperoni (cured, spiced sausage slices that cup and char at the edges when cooked). The named SKU on the menu is 'pepperoni' — not plain cheese, not margherita, not a specialty with pepperoni as one of several toppings. Includes NY-style, Detroit-style, Neapolitan, tavern, and Sicilian pepperoni pies when those are the menu's ranked pepperoni offering.#1 Slice of Pepperoni Outta Sight Pizza · Tenderloin 8.4 High confidence -
Best Vodka Pizzas 5 dishes ranked Pizza topped with creamy, pink vodka sauce (tomato, cream and a splash of vodka) plus mozzarella, often finished with basil and parmesan; a New York slice-shop staple.#1 The Bootlegger Cracker Thin Capo's · North Beach 9.0 Limited data -
Best Cheese Pizzas 4 dishes ranked Plain cheese pizza — tomato sauce and mozzarella on a baked crust, sold by the slice or as a whole pie. No pepperoni, no margherita basil-forward builds, no deep-dish or stuffed pies.#1 Cheese Slice (Formaggio) Gioia Pizzeria · Hayes Valley 8.4 Medium confidence -
Best Deep Dish Pizzas 3 dishes ranked Chicago-style deep-dish pizza: a tall-sided pan pie with cheese under the sauce and a thick, often cornmeal or buttery crust, baked long and cut into wedges. Distinct from Detroit square, New York thin and Neapolitan margherita.#1 Old Chicago Deep Dish Capo's · North Beach 8.5 Medium confidence
