My go to place for tasty pizza. Consistent quality for many decades. This is a true neighborhood spot. But again, the pizza is unique! It is thin and tasty. Brooks, The owner is a neighborhood character. He is part of the experience. Za’s is a place where kids can hang their drawings, it is also the neighborhood drop off station for parcels. This is what every neighborhood needs. Thanks for being here all these years!

Matt is the friendly owner here ; Slices are generous in size, served hot and crispy . I like the usage of corn flour to give the crust texture ; the pizza is neither thick nor thin- it’s the right size. Their walls are strewn with terrible sketches and drawings from neighborhood children. Sit outdoors as you get to experience the exquisite architecture of Hyde street with cable cars rolling by.

NY boy living in California. It can be hard to find really good pizza in San Francisco. Many have told me to try Za. It took me a while, but finally made it! Had a slice of their sweet sausage and cheese. Both were delicious. Perfect crust, cheese is amazing. Just an all around solid slice of pizza. Quality ingredients. This will be one of my “go to” places.

Cozy neighborhood pizza joint. $7 pepperoni slice with a crispy bottom

One of the few casual lunch spots on Russian Hill you can find open mid-week. Unpretentious, small space, with limited choices displayed on a white board menu. I sat at the counter and went with the Monday Meat "Special" - sweet sausage, tomato, garlic and basil. It was satisfying, delicious and inexpensive. A great slice with good beer on tap. What else could you want? UPDATE: Back again for the Scaliano Friday special slice and a Kölsch beer. Even better than before.

This pizza place sells mostly slices of pizza, but there is also the option to get a full medium or large one. Pizza dough is made with semolina flour, the taste is good but at the bottom of the pizza there were lots of semolina’s grains which became hard after baking. We enjoyed our pizza 🍕

Why is it that the simple things in life can be some of the best things in life? Frills and hype don’t necessarily equal greatness. We sure found that to be the case at “Za Pizza.” Either their pizza/people combo beckons you here or you simply pass right on by their humble establishment. I counted three tables and three barstools inside, two tables outside, and exactly one television. Yeah, if you’re here, you’re here strictly for the pizza and the people. Not a bad combo though, right? This place just overflows with genuine local vibe, so no posers, please. Be real or be gone (my words, not theirs). Our server was super friendly and provided great advice about an adventure we are planning for later on this trip (stay tuned!). While I was attempting to secure one of the aforementioned tables outside, he was apparently chatting it up with my wife inside. When he met me outside he said he didn’t realize the weather was so nice today and that I must have brought the nice weather with me from San Diego. When I asked how he knew where I am from he said, “Your daughter told me when I met her inside.” Yeah, I will literally NEVER live this down. 🤦‍♂️ As much as we enjoyed his company, we planned our visit mostly ‘cuz of the (piz)”Za.” That thin crust was just so light and seemed to nearly yield a “crunch” with each bite. We don’t often include pics of pizza crust, but felt compelled to do so this time. Although we customized our “Za”, they also offer a set menu of pizza by the slice options if you’re in a hurry (or traveling solo). Come for the crust, stay for the people (or vice versa). Just get here if you’re near Russian Hill. And that’s…Henry’s Take. #sanfranciscopizza #russianhillpizza

Delicious, mouth-watering thin crust pizza served fresh from the oven. Try the Bluto (sweet Italian sausage, spinach, and feta). Service and atmosphere are satisfactory, but not spectacular. The restaurant only has 4 tables, so either take your pizza to go, or put your name down in advance. all in all, a great neighborhood pizza joint.

cute pizza spot on russian hill serving slices and whole pies with a limited menu each day. satisfies the craving but there are better spots in the city for the price ($7.5/slice). potesto: the toppings were pretty tasty but overall thought the slice was pretty dry

Bad costumer service. We were waiting for the pizza, and found a seat, worker basically asked us why we were sitting down and gave us a rude tone when we said we were eating here. Then when it was time to bring the food, he didn't bring us napkins like the other tables and threw the plates on the table, the pizza slid on the table. Rude to us but nice to everyone else, did not apologize or say anything about the poor treatment. Heard him say to other people to walk away. I do not recommend to others.

Hot garbage. This has been consistently the worst pizza in SF for the last 10 years. It’s barely, if at all, edible. Get better cheese, better sauce and use flour and water instead of cardboard for the dough. It’s not rocket science. For the love of god, do you even taste your own pizza? Hot garbage.
