August is easy-dinner season, and few things are easier or better than pizza, so this list stays busy all summer. Our Peninsula picks gather the pie makers we trust, from by-the-slice counters to serious Neapolitan ovens, seeded by the award winners and the spots our review team has featured, then rounded out with the neighborhood favorites readers bookmark.
We at Outside Eats start these lists with restaurants we know deliver and fill out the map with dependable favorites. Pizza styles here run the range, thin-crust and New York fold, blistered Neapolitan, thicker Sicilian, and California pies topped with the season's best, and our picks try to capture that spread.
Whether you want a great slice on the way home or a proper pie for a group, there is likely a pick near you. Browse the city sections below to find our favorites, and open any restaurant for photos, hours, and directions. On a warm August evening, a good pizza and not much planning is a fine way to eat.
