Buying advice

When choosing a pizza restaurant in the Bay Area, consider the style of pizza you prefer (Neapolitan, New York, Sicilian), your budget, and the dining experience (sit-down vs. takeout). Many top spots have limited seating or require reservations, so plan ahead. For the best value, try Pizzeria Delfina or Escape from New York; for a gourmet experience, Chez Panisse Cafe is unmatched.
