Little Italy
San Francisco’s historic North Beach neighborhood is also known as “Little Italy.” The area is filled with cozy Italian restaurants, outdoor cafes and coffee houses, unique shops, and bustling Broadway nightclubs and bars. In the early 1950s, North Beach was home to the famed Beat Generation, which included writers and poets Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Today, North Beach remains one of the city’s most popular hangouts and a great place for people-watching.
Best Pizza in SF – Tony’s Pizza Napoletana
What would Little Italy be without amazing pizza. Our favorite San Francisco pizza restaurant is Tony’s Pizza Napoletana, home of 13-time World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignani. Their pizzas are incredible… pastas too! Full bar includes fine Californian and Italian wines. No reservations so expect a wait during peak times. If you’re pressed for time, you can also pick up pizza-by-the-slice-to-go next door at Tony’s Slice House. Both locations are located in the heart of North Beach.
