Golden Boy Pizza

First time trying this SF classic pizza joint and it did not disappoint. Both pizzas were 10/10. Workers were nice and friendly. Take-out spot only. We called ahead and it was ready when we got there. It took about 15 minutes. *We added Mike's Hot Honey when we got home and it paired well with the pizza!*

I saw Golden Boy on TikTok and knew I had to try the clam and garlic pizza, even if it meant waiting 30+ minutes, and it did not disappoint! This location appears to be take-out only, with no tables or chairs inside, aside from a couch for those waiting on their order. The gentleman who helped us was friendly, and our pizza was ready in about 15-20 minutes.We ordered half clam and garlic and half combo. The clam and garlic was the star of the show, with its soft yet crispy crust and the perfect balance of charred garlic and clam in every bite. The combination might sound unusual, but it works so well together.The combo was delicious too, though I wish the toppings had been a bit more evenly distributed.

I think this is the first time in my life that I wasn't able to finish a pizza I bought from a pizza joint. I've been a regular customer since 2022and I've always liked it but somehow today, they managed to serve the worst pizza I've ever bought. As soon as I opened the box, I had a bad feeling. The toppings (look at the pepperoni and sausage) were very strangely placed. A couple pepperoni slices per pizza slice and then a sausage on top of each pepperoni slice. In previous visits, the toppings were definitely more plentiful. This seemed like someone was playing a joke on us.... Then when we bit into the pizza, it was still doughy. I have no idea how they thought they could sell something like this. I'm not sure what happened, but we are definitely never going back.

Delicious square shaped pizza with a nice variety of topping choices on top of soft focaccia type of crust. They have locations in San Francisco (North Beach & Sunset) and I'm grateful for this location in San Mateo. Check out their clam & garlic pizza and their veggie & pesto pizza!

Craving some amazing pizza? Look no further than Golden Boy! I'm a huge fan, and this new takeout location makes it even easier to get my fix. Everything is made fresh and cooked to order, so you know it's going to be good. Golden Boy Pizza is a must-try in the Bay Area.

Good pizza! This is a to go only restaurant so call ahead to get your order. They have kind of a limited menu but everything is good. They make square deep dish pizza.

Wife saw Golden Boy on TikTok so she's been bugging me to go. We went by the SF location but they had a line down the block.So, one Saturday afternoon we drove over from East Bay to San Mateo to try it. Called ahead and ordered a large combo and a small garlic and clams. This location is take out only so we took it to the park a block away to eat.Hot and fresh its soooo good. The cheese was the bomb and the topping - sausage, pepperoni, tomato and zuchinni were all so fresh. They say the large feeds 3-4 at least. Gonna have lots of leftovers.Wouldn't make a special trip but definitely stop by if in the area.

Golden Boy Pizza is a takeout-focused pizzeria known for its thick crust and industrial vibe. I recently stopped by and decided to get the Pesto Veggie and Clam & Garlic slices to go. Here's my take on the experience:Pesto VeggieA delightful combination of fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The pesto sauce was vibrant and aromatic, perfectly complementing the assortment of vegetables. The slice was generously topped with fresh tomatoes, artichokes, and bell peppers, all of which were cooked to perfection. The thick crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a satisfying base for the toppings. Each bite was a burst of flavors, making it a great choice for vegetarians or anyone looking for a fresh and flavorful pizza option.Clam & GarlicA unique and savory treat. The combination of tender clams and roasted garlic created a rich, umami flavor that was simply irresistible. The clams were fresh and plentiful, adding a nice seafood twist to the pizza. The garlic was perfectly roasted, adding a depth of flavor without being overpowering. The cheese was melted to perfection, and the thick crust had the same satisfying texture as the Pesto Veggie slice. This slice is a must-try for seafood lovers and those looking for something a bit different.Overall ExperienceThis pizzeria offers unique and flavorful options. The thick crust is a standout feature, providing a hearty and satisfying base for their creative toppings. The slices are generously sized, making them a great value for the price. The takeout-focused nature of the pizzeria makes it convenient for grabbing a quick and delicious meal on the go. The industrial vibe of the place adds to its charm, giving it a cool and casual atmosphere.Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or looking to try something new, Golden Boy Pizza has something for everyone. The Pesto Veggie and Clam & Garlic slices were both excellent choices, and I look forward to trying more of their menu in the future. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this gem of a pizzeria!

I've heard great things about the San Francisco location and was happy to give the San Mateo take-out location a shot!Note, this is takeout only, as they do not have any seating there. But, I did get to eat it relatively soon in my car haha. I got the pepperoni pizza and was very satisfied. The dough was the star, well seasoned and very soft and fluffy with a little crisp on the edges. I thought the cheese and pepperoni could have been baked a liiiittle longer, but it was still very good. The sauce to cheese ratio was good, and the sauce itself was decent - not amazing and not bad, but fit with the pizza. Overall, it's good pizza if you're in the area looking for more of a Detroit/pan pizza style that's worth checking out.

While there's a table outside and some makeshift spots inside, I would translate this location to be more of a carry out joint conveniently located off of the 101. They've also got a full size location in North Beach SF. I stupidly over estimated my drive from San Jose so by the time I arrived, I was 30 min late and arrived to a still hot but not piping hot boxes.We ordered the clam and garlic pizza and a sausage pizza for two of us. Honestly could've just order two smalls rather than one small and one large as it was a bit excessive. The clam and garlic was tasty but overwhelming and didn't translate well as next day left overs. The crust transforms into a big brick not even my fancy Balmuda toaster can soften. But the sausage: really tasty, didn't last until the next day, and would order again.Pricing is very fair and competitive. I would order on the way to a party if I happen to be in the area. They've also got some beverages for purchase. Only street parking by the way.
