Zero Zero may be named for the flour used in its pies, but it is so much more than a pizzeria. While the Castro topped with mozzarella and soppressata is delicious, this casual spot offers far more than just a good slice. At lunch, its bi-level space is packed with young techies, families, and business folk from the Moscone Center. A sizable bar ensures that everyone has a sip to go with such shareable staples as the crispy arancini packed with Taleggio, puddled in black garlic aïoli, and garnished with arugula. The creative and well-charred judah pizza is yet another favorite, decked out with bacon, mozzarella, and shishito peppers.
If you have a sweet tooth, indulge in the Calabrian chili caramel, or keep it classic with a hot fudge and soft serve.
