The Pizza Place

One of the greatest things about living in San Francisco is the food. There is no shortage of delicious food here. Even being a vegetarian, the choices are endless.

A favorite place of ours is just blocks away on 46th and Noriega. It is simply called The Pizza Place, and it is amazing. The Pizza Place does one style of pizza, thin crust, but you can get it meaty, vegetarian or even vegan. With your pizza you can enjoy a salad, french fries, or even braised greens.

While the greens are very tasty, our appetizer of choice is usually the Sweet Potato Steak Fries. These things are monstrous and come with homemade ranch and buffalo sauce. Both sauces are so good, it's always a dilemma trying to decide which one to dip the fries in. I usually just end up alternating every other bite.

In true thin crust fashion, the pizzas here are ginormous. We always get the large so we'll have leftovers. This place has great toppings like roasted potatoes, mini tomatoes, carmelized onions and vegan pesto. Pictured below is the Besto with pesto, feta, roasted potatoes, and roasted red peppers. So totally scrumptious!

In addition to the great food, the atmosphere here is totally laid back. They have cheap pitchers of PBR. A big screen TV to watch all the local teams. Mismatched plates and flatware that look they were picked up at various thrift stores. This place knows what it is and does it perfectly. I always love coming here, and am never been disappointed.

Gotta have a montage!

Happy Anniversary, San Francisco!!! We've been together four years now, do you still love me as much as I love you?

As promised, I put together a few of the pictures I've taken over the past four years. These are some of my favorite images. They have been carefully categorized and overly collaged by me in Picasa (sorry, I'm a little addicted to collages).

We've come a long way, baby!

I'm currently working on a photo montage for our 4 year San Francisco Anniversary, which is TODAY! I figured it would be the perfect thing for this blog about how much I love this city. 

To be honest, it wasn't love at first sight.  It was a big transition for me and took some getting used to.  I was sad for a while being so far away from most of the people I really loved. Over time I came to love this place, and I think if we ever leave I will definitely leave my heart (or at least a part of it in San Francisco). 

Cheesiness aside, I found two great pictures to illustrate just how far we've all come in the past 4 years, especially the City of San Francisco.  4 amazing years and we've been through so much!

Theses two photos were not planned.  The first is the construction of the California Academy of Sciences as seen from the De Young Tower taken shortly after Nik and I moved here in August 2006. The second is the finished California Academy of Sciences taken from roughly the same spot in the Tower in Spring 2010.  I found these last night looking through all my photos and thought it was so appropriate for today.  Stay tuned for more amazing photos from the City by the Bay!
