Fuggedaboudit, New York pizza loyalists: in San Francisco, you can grab a cheesy, thin-crust slice from nine-time world-champion pizza-slinger Tony Gemignani. What, you were expecting kosher-salt shakers and bottled Coke from a vintage machine? Done. Difference is, here you can take that slice to sunny Washington Sq and watch tai chi practice and wild parrots year-round. Sorry, Manhattan – whaddayagonnado?
