"Before the Neapolitan pizza craze swept the Bay Area, there was A16. Its menu helped ignite San Francisco's obsession with casual-gourmet pizzas, and with good reason: It's rightfully renowned for its pies (you cut slices yourself with the pair of scissors the restaurant provides) and eclectic toppings (the fungi comes topped with pioppini and hen of the woods mushrooms; the arrabiata with calabrian chili and fried breadcrumbs), thoughtfully curated wine list, and a few excellent meat, fish, and pasta dishes." - Carey Jones
