Inner Sunset·$

$3.25

Plain sourdough pizza with whole-milk mozzarella.

Tip: If you want to taste the sourdough, get the cheese pizza. Nothing distracts from the bread quality.

Mission District·$$

$7.50

Savory muffin with Asiago cheese, sausage, green onion, and a soft-boiled egg inside.

Tip: Arrive by 8 AM to guarantee you get one — they're the most popular item and typically sell out by 9:30 AM. Weekdays are your best bet.

Embarcadero·$$

$12.00

Cave-aged Gruyère and fromage blanc on sourdough, grilled until golden, served with house-made pickles.

Tip: Order the grilled cheese with a half dozen oysters. The rich cheese and briny oysters balance each other perfectly.
