Nestled in a transformed USPS building, this bright spot serves mouthwatering wood-fired pizzas, fresh salads, and delightful cocktails in a lively atmosphere.
"Though primarily a pizzeria, Tribute also boasts a top-tier bar program. Known for frequent collaborations with local legends like Seven Caves, the bar menu is a constantly evolving showcase of precision and craftsmanship. Owner Matthew Lyons and his team are relentless in their pursuit of perfection, a dedication that shines through in every cocktail. A reservation is required most nights, but if you’re lucky, you might snag a walk-in seat at the bar, where you can watch the pizza and cocktail teams in action. It’s like a well-choreographed theater production—a mesmerizing display of skill and intensity. Order a cocktail, like the perfectly balanced Paper Plane—an homage to Sam Ross of The Violet Hour—made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Aperol, and fresh farmers’ market lemon. And yes, you can (and should) order a pizza at the bar." - Kelly Bone
"Nothing makes it to Tribute Pizza’s menu without being perfect. Every pizza, every appetizer, and every salad deserves individual acclaim. The seemingly simple Elaine Benes Little Big Salad, with heirloom tomatoes, veggies, and marinated garbanzo beans in a bright red wine vinaigrette, reveals why its namesake character made a scene over these greens. The Betrayal of Caesar by the Coward Brutus, or, Et Tu Brute, has been a favorite from the start, with fancy kale spotted with Calabrian chile and a garlicky dressing finished with wood-fired focaccia croutons." - Kelly Bone
"Getting its start as a well-respected pop-up, this North Park restaurant is widely admired for its wood-fired, seasonal pies that are both inventive original creations as well as tributes to some of the world’s most notable pizzas. The airy space serves up “Neo-Neapolitan,” New York, and grandma-style pies, baked in a rectangular pan with a thicker crust. The large space makes this spot ideal for groups." - Darlene Horn, Candice Woo
"Though it was initially built to honor some of the world’s great pizzerias, this North Park restaurant has earned respect for its own menu creations, from homemade bread and farmer’s market-sourced vegetable plates to its “Neo-Neapolitan” pies that ranges from creatively-topped weekly specials and classic pies." - Candice Woo, Helen I.
