Za Pizza, San Francisco

###In Focus: Za Pizza * **Established:** 1991 * **Specialties:** four by-the-slice options each day and nine whole-pie pizzas * **Pizza type:** big New York–style slices with a thin cornmeal crust so it gets crispy * **Behind the bar:** locally brewed beers served by the pint, including Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Anchor Steam, as well as a few red and white wines * **Atmosphere:** family-friendly neighborhood joint * **The staff:** when they're not baking pizza in the Bakers Pride oven, many of the employees are professional skateboarders * **Inspiration:** Artists including Da Vinci, Dalí, and Monet lend their names to pizzas and salads, and if you catch the art bug, you can craft your own pie with a choice of more than 20 toppings. * **On the walls:** artwork for sale by local artists, such as Tim Weldon and Saul Levy. * **Punniest pizza:** The Vincent van Dough, topped with roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic, with a distinct lack of swirling sunflowers or starscapes.
