The Pizza Place on Noriega
The Pizza Place on Noriega was born out of a deep-seated love for authentic East Coast-style pizza. Founders David Ashin and Kevin Baryza, friends since high school, embarked on a culinary journey that took them through prestigious kitchens like Acquerello, Farallon, Globe, Brunos, Fish, and Blue Plate. Their shared experiences and passion for great food inspired them to create a pizzeria that brings the flavors of their childhood to San Francisco.
Though David is no longer involved in the business, Kevin continues to carry the torch, now joined by his wife Cindy. Cindy's impressive culinary background includes stints at renowned establishments such as Stars, Vertigo, Farallon, Jardiniere, The Slanted Door, and Garibaldis. Together, they have infused The Pizza Place on Noriega with a spirit of camaraderie and culinary excellence.
The pizza here is crafted with the utmost care, featuring hand-tossed dough, brick oven baking, and a commitment to using premium, fresh ingredients. This dedication to quality and authenticity ensures that each pizza not only honors the East Coast tradition but also embraces the fresh and vibrant flavors of the West Coast.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, The Pizza Place on Noriega offers a warm and inviting atmosphere where you can enjoy a slice of genuine East Coast-style pizza, right in the heart of San Francisco. The legacy of friendship, passion, and culinary expertise lives on in every delicious bite.
