The cityβs best pizzerias, according to a panel of pros
βIβm usually a super-thin, NYC-style pizza gal, but something about Square Pie Guysβ crust, the hot honey sauce, and their crispy pepperoni ridges makes their pizza so comforting,β says Han. She also shouts out Arizmendi and Golden Boy as favorites, but Square Pie Guys is what she and husband Vic typically order after a busy service slinging some of the cityβs best smashburgers or as family meals for staff. βTheir pies dipped in ranch are the way to go!β

Square Pie Guys and their Detroit-style pizzas rise above thanks to their thick-but-light crust, and cheddar baked edge that gives a cheesy crunch to every bite. The precise presentation of pepperoni cups and toppings like garlic ricotta cream and hot honey is also a work of art. Square Pie Guys is a very casual spot, which is why youβll also find knockout chicken wings, a selection of beers and canned cocktails, and a well-oiled takeout operation.

If youβre not going to pop-ups, youβre missing the most exciting food in SF
Detroit-style pan pies have been trending hard for four years but may be on the cusp of being dethroned. Square Pie Guys owner Marc Schechter last month quietly launched a spin-off pop-up called Bar Pie Guys, specializing in pizzas with cracker-thin crusts. Theyβre inspired by the pizzas you find at Chicagoland bars: light, crispy, and cut into squares.

SF's most popular Detroit-style pizzeria is experimenting with new pizza style
Bar Pie Guys is a new pop-up from Square Pie Guys serving a variation of tavern-style pizza, or bar pies, which hail from Chicago. Tavern-style is almost the polar opposite of the decadently cheesy, thick, crispy-edged Detroit-style: It has a thin, crispy, almost crackerlike dough. Often cut into squares, itβs the ideal light snacking pizza to eat with a pint.
