Best Bar Pizza In The Bay Area

Featuring a well designed exterior reminiscent of a classic Chicago speakeasy, Capo's is led by Bay Area native and 12-time World Pizza Champion Tony Gemignani, who opened his first restaurant just a few blocks away. While the owner makes appearances as often as he can with his very busy schedule, guests of his restaurant and bar are still in very good hands with executive chef Matt Molina, who himself is a world champion, most recently for his incredibly delicious Crown Point pizza, named Best of the Best at this year's International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. Other notable choices offered at the full bar or in the lively dining area surrounded by Prohibition-era memorabilia are the aptly named The Dillinger, winner of World's Best Pan Pizza at the 2014 International Pizza Expo and the phenomenal Quattro Forni (Four Ovens), cooked four times in four different ovens, with only 10 available per day.
