Byron from San Francisco

About me The quote “It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious” by Oscar Wilde works for me.

Damnfine Pizza San Francisco

Best Pizza West of Divis

"The name of the business, for once, is no lie, it is pretty dang fine. A personal favorite is the Pig in the Woods: pancetta, enoki, garlic, fresh mozzarella, and truffle."

Western Golden Gate park has so many surprises that I often can lose an afternoon exploring, but then I am hungry and my first thought is a perfect thin pizza and cocktail two blocks to the South on Judah at DamnFine Co. The name of the business, for once, is no lie, it is pretty dang fine. A personal favorite is the Pig in the Woods: pancetta, enoki, garlic, fresh mozzarella, and truffle. Sausage and Sage is another fallback, or the Potato Peso.

They have an innovative and evolving cocktail menu as well as a globally curated wine list. I have at times been lured into their excellent pasta selections or a warm brussel sprout salad, but then that means not having a pizza, it is a hard choice. And when I am done, the N Judah is right there to jet home, or if I need to work off a big lunch, it's only two blocks back to GG park for a lovely walk home.
