Golden Boy Pizza is a neighborhood, takeout-only pizza spot in Parkside, an offshoot of the original North Beach window, with noticeably shorter lines than its sibling. Slices come on a thick, focaccia-style crust, with pepperoni, clam and garlic, and combo pies among the regulars. There's no dining room — just a takeout window and a few standing counters on the sidewalk, stocked with parmesan and red pepper flakes.
The place has built a reputation as a neighborhood destination worth the wait, known for generous, affordable slices and a laid-back, come-as-you-are scene.
