Southern Marin
Bar Bocce
Sausalito

Pizza al fresco on a private beach in Sausalito… Who wouldn’t want that? Dining is first-come, first-serve, and you’ll want to be among the first. However, If you must wait for a table, don’t panic — working up an appetite means you’ll have room for their crispy artichokes with fried rosemary, celery leaves and lemon aioli appetizer. Get the kale pizza with basil pesto, roasted garlic and ricotta; it’s rich, but a winner.

PizzaHacker @ The Junction
Mill Valley

Is a great crust your thing? PizzaHacker bakes their wheat levain sourdough crust with smoked sea salt for the mouth-watering effect down to the last bite. If you have tried this San Francisco cult-favorite before, it’s worth visiting their second location, nestled within The Junction beer garden. They have nailed contactless service — with their Square-based ordering system — and their incredibly friendly staff add a brightness to their already beautiful, spacious outdoor dining area. Local craft beers and hard kombucha (you can’t go wrong with either) are available on tap as well as in four packs, if you’re purchasing to-go.

Poggio Trattoria
Sausalito

With available indoor and outdoor seating and an upscale neighborhood vibe, Poggio is a perfect venue for a lively outing with a large group. For something a little different, try the smoked prosciutto, black mission fig and calabrian chili or the chanterelle mushroom, baby kale, buffalo mozzarella and roasted garlic pizzas. Come first for the pizza, then return for the pasta, meat or fish dishes (and another pizza).

Lo Coco’s Authentic Italian Pizzeria

Popular menu items include their mushroom pizza, roasted eggplant pizza, a zucchini and garlic pizza, baby clam, oregano and garlic pizza and their most notable artichoke heart pizza. Sometimes pizza only needs a couple of ingredients to taste fantastic. And if you thought their toppings were great, wait until you hear about Lo Coco’s trademark crust. Unbelievably fluffy, doughy and thick, it’ll send you to cloud nine on the first bite.

Save room for the Straus soft-serve and top with fiordolio extra virgin olive oil and Maldon sea salt. Prime seats are at the small bar where you can watch the pizza making in action, but sitting outside is great for people watching, enjoyable even in the colder months (thanks to heat lamps!).
