Thin and Crispy with a Hint of Mystery
Unlike its deep-dish Chicago cousin (we see you!), San Francisco's pizza pride boasts a thin and crispy crust. Think of it as the athletic cousin to the New York-style, all toned and ready to tango on your taste buds. But here's the kicker: there's a whisper of sourdough in there. Not a full-blown sourdough explosion, mind you, but a subtle tang that adds a touch of sophistication (and maybe a hint of mystery – what secrets does this crust hold?).

It turns out, even fast food giants can get trendy (and delicious).
