Each "North Beach Pizza" restaurant in the North Beach Pizza chain is very different. The one actually in North Beach and this one, while they bear similarities are definitely of a different elk. The Stanyan location of North Beach Pizza is just flat out horrible, while the North Beach location is a decent place to get a quick slice for under $5.00.
This North Beach Pizza had two very nice people working there at the time I went in. The slice was $4.00 even when paid for with a card. If you like fat doughy pizza with a lot of cheese and sauce but it's just average and you don't mind, and you're in the area and you're really hungry and your digestion track can handle excess gluten (and lactose for that matter) well, then go for it!
You are more than likely going to be paying the price for this slice if you're anything like me in the form of;
1.) extra time in the restroom (be it on throne or floor), 2.) feeling nauseous on the car ride to work which follows the consumption of this which, 3.) summons memories of when you ate other pizza that weren't worth it, for example; 7 Eleven, Abe's, Avellino, Belissimo's, Blondie's and/or Chico's, etc.
If you like those places and think they make good pizza and your body doesn't shut down and you do not question your life decisions and wonder why you don't just go ahead and eat fast food if you're going to do this, then this is for you.
You would then be the exact right person to eat this if you a.) can also handle a Digorno pizza by yourself any given Wednesday night without it ruining not only that Wednesday night but the following complete days of Thursday and Friday leading into a regrettable weekend or b.) Would not know the difference between Lombardi's, Prince Street Pizza, John's of Bleecker in New York from any Costco, Little Caesars or Round Table.
If this is you, go here.
One slice is all it takes. Not even the whole slice, honestly.
Hell, Round Table might have been better. Red Barron for sure would be.
However, If you actually like pizza, please read my next words carefully - do not concern yourself with this place's existence EVEN IF you like the North Beach Pizza in North Beach. Have a good day.
Nonetheless, wishing North Beach Pizza continued success and very thankful for your time...

Read moreI've recently learned of the most amazing app ever- "Too Good to Go".
Restaurants choose to participate by listing on the app opportunities for people using the app to pay something like $5.99 for generally $17.99 worth of leftover food that at the end of the day would otherwise be thrown out.
I've had amazing experiences with it, so when I saw this North Beach Pizza location on the app, I decided to try it out!
I found it a bit odd that they only had a 15 minute window to pick up the food, but I hopped on my bike at 9:30 and made it to their location just in time. When I walked in the door, I said "Hello! I'm here because I signed up with Too good to go."
The employees stared at me blankly. I said, " as you can see by this app here, I pre-ordered food that would otherwise go to waste?"
They stared at me, blankly for a bit longer and then said "We don't have anything."
Incredibly unprofessional and rude. It even seems like they didn't know what the app was and yet they had to intentionally sign up to be on it and they had to intentionally list the previous day that there would be a few spots available for people to use the app with them.
The fact that all I got were blank stares and "We don't have anything" isn't how the app works at other stores and restaurants where they honor their end of the bargain... And at the very least, the restaurant could have said,...
