What people say, in short
Diners recommend this pizzeria across its San Francisco locations mainly for deep dish. Valencia Street remains an option after the Divisadero shop's closure. Some diners praise the deep dish and thin crust, while critics dislike the cornmeal crust or find the pizza expensive. One diner preferred the former Divisadero pies after a single Valencia visit; that comparison is not a verdict on every visit.
