Pizza is one of my great loves. I have to admit, I was not the biggest fan when I was a young lad; it must be the options that were given to me – Pizza Hut, Domino’s, etc. Well, something must have clicked during those long nights studying in Berkeley and the pie and I became buddies. While Cheeseboard first got the juices flowing, the Bay Area provides quite a myriad of options when it comes to pizza. Golden Boy Pizza always does the trick when I’m in North Beach. If you’re craving the Sicilian stuff, this is your spot. In fact, Golden Boy is arguably the best pizza in all the city. I said it.
I grabbed three of their slices here: pepperoni, combo, and pesto veggies. They also have a delicious garlic clam joint, which seems to have a knack for selling out right before I get in line. Sicilian pizza means square slices, which can be tough to eat (it’s okay to use a fork and knife for this one), but damn the crust on these suckers are to die for. Crispy and flaky, just the way I like it. The toppings are perfect with a sprinkle of oregano. These pieces are big, but a tad bit overpriced at $3.50 a slice. You’re paying for a piece of history here, though, so no complaining. Plus it’s cheaper than anything else you can find in that neighborhood. Golden Boy’s little neon sign acts as a delicious beacon during the late night; all the hungry ghouls who just finished hitting the club in North Beach (or is en route to another) flock here. Oh yeah, no deliveries, and no whole pies to go. Gotta make the trek to taste the goods, haha. And you should, because you might be depriving yourself from one of the finest pizzas you will ever lay your teeth into.

Another cash only joint. Oh well, I can never resist this place. Great hangover cure (that’s what I heard, at least, haha).
