We start this North beach drinking and food tour by skipping the line at an award-winning pizzeria, Tony’s Pizza Napoletana. Here we will try 2-3 styles of pizza and learn the story of Tony, a local hero.
Feeling primed and ready to learn on this North Beach food tour, we continue on a stroll. While we explore, we’ll discuss the Italian immigrant journey to the West Coast and how North Beach became what we think is the perfect fusion of Italians, hippies, and beatniks. As we stroll around, we’ll take a peek at the church where Marilyn Monroe took her wedding photos, check out the first strip club in America, and see a graffiti piece by the famous street artist Banksy.
Next on our North Beach food tour, we head to another local pizza establishment for a new york style slice. Here we play a quick game of Pizza Trivia and test your pizza knowledge!
After, we walk a few blocks to a one-of-a-kind pizzeria with Sicilian-style slices at a local watering hole. With grunge vibes, this spot is the perfect place to sip on a local beer while “mangia-ing” on cheesy goodness. While we snack, we’ll discuss the history of pizza on the west coast and why we think it’s overlooked as a prime pizza location.
To cap off the eating portion of our North Beach Food tour, we head to a local cafe to taste an Italian dessert, tiramisu. Here we will learn about the Beat Generation that came through North Beach during the Summer of Love.
Full and ready, next we head to the oldest bar in San Francisco’s North Beach to experience the city’s first dive, with some very interesting characters. We’ll end our experience by heading to a few more local spots, including a bar known for its odd artifacts scattered across the walls. Here we leave you with a list of other fantastic pubs to keep the party going.
