Tony Gemignani is 12 time world champion pizza maker and his place has lines each day. Both locals and tourists are blown away with his pizzas but we also love his home made pastas and meatballs as well. Get there and stand in line by 11:30-11:45 to make sure you get a table...otherwise prepare to wait ... sometimes two hours. Shhhhh! He also has a place on Second street next to AT&T Park, known as "Slice House" where you can buy slices of heaven made of artisanal grains for about $5 or less. You don't need to wait in line. :) We've known his family for three generations... Tell Tony we sent you!

Located 1/2 block from ATT park, Tony, 12 time world champion pizza maker, food net work celebrity and author of the Pizza Bible knocks it out of the park at this location. Instead of standing in line for hours at his other location in North Beach, this local secret also serves up delicious pizzas created with artisanal grains. Everything is home made here... no cans: pasta, meatballs, and sausages all exceptional. We like it because we can get his great pizzas and pastas without standing in line. Also, make sure you get HOLYCRAFT beer, it is a local beer that is only served in limited locations and gets sold out. Very hard to get because this crafted beer is THAT GOOD!

Parks & Nature
Golden Gate Park covers a huge area with a variety of things to do for a day!
Check out the De Young Museum and Steinheart Aquarium. On Thursday evenings, the museum turns cool with hipster activities and tickets are cheap. There is a lovely Japanese Garden, a botanical garden and Stow Lake where you can rent paddle boats! Nice for romantic strolls, families, and groups! Picnics are also common as well as bike riding!
