Great gourmet thin crust pizzas (but don't miss their salads and other specials). Also a great place that adults can enjoy themselves with kids in tow. They will make a kids pizza very quickly upon arrival if necessary.

This is one of the greatest natural treasures of San Francisco. Walk in the canyon and you feel like you've left the city. One of the few areas in the city where the old Islais Creek comes above ground. The city has been creating lots of new hiking trails in the canyon and soon the new rec center will be completed. There is a big field for soccer and baseball as well as a tennis court. Also a playground for the kiddies.
