Salami pizza – Del Popolo

Salami pizza - Del Popolo
Tomato, mozzarella, basil, sweet peppers. $14
Del Popolo, San Francisco CA

This food truck is pretty cool because it’s over a story tall and they literally have a pizza oven conveyor belt in there! It’s super popular and the pizzas are pretty good, but honestly I’m not a fan of the brunt, blistered crusts. For me, the ash taste is overwhelming and pretty much contaminates the rest of the pizza’s flavor. I guess I’m one of the few who doesn’t like it that way.

Wild mushroom and gorgonzola pizza – The Tropicale

Wild mushroom and gorgonzola pizza - The Tropicale
Roasted garlic, diced tomatoes and fresh thyme. $13
The Tropicale, Palm Springs CA

The flavor combinations in this pizza were to die for! The wild mushrooms were earthy and the gorgonzola was sharp and pungent. The roasted tomatoes and garlic were delicious and the crust was pretty good too. I generally prefer a thinner, more airy crust but this thicker crust was needed to handle all those great toppings.

Hawaiian pizzas have always been a favorite of mine ever since I was a kid. I love the combination of salty Canadian bacon with the sweet chunks of pineapple. Serve it on a thin crust like those at Escape From New York and you have a winner!

This is my favorite slice from Escape From New York. The potato/garlic/pesto combination is just killer! And I love their thin crush. This slice is perfect after a night of partying with friends, right before you hop into a cab, lol!

Canadian bacon and pineapple. $4
Nizario’s Pizza, San Francisco CA

Growing up, Hawaiian pizza was always my favorite! I loved the combination of the salty Canadian bacon and the sweet pineapple. We didn’t have fancy pizzerias in the small town where I grew up so I wasn’t aware of anything better, hehe. I still love me some Hawaiian pizza though!

Mmm! When I don’t have time for a real dinner between hanging out with friends in the Castro, I can always drop by Escape From New York for a quick delicious, thin(ish) crust pizza. My favorite is still their potato garlic, but it’s difficult to go back to your friends with garlic breath, lol!
