    Come early to this small bakery on the corner of Washington Square Park which turns out about ten kinds of focaccia bread—onion, raisin, olive, mushroom—every day from its old-fashioned brick ovens. Read more

    Run by an old Italian family, this place has the best focassia I've ever eaten. That's what is great about this place- it's all they make: awesome focassia. The pesto cheese is the best out of the lot

    It's hard to explain what goes into Liguria's focaccia, but it might be magic. Head down the street to equally historic Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store to enjoy it in an oven-baked meatball sandwich. Read more

    Focaccia flavors like piney rosemary, slick with olive oil and scattered with garlic, or pizza focaccia, which is chewy and soft with its pockets of air and layer of bright, fresh tomato sauce. Read more

    A true SF classic. Pizza focaccia is my favorite, followed by raisin then mushroom. Do not miss the pizza focaccia. Great for holidays.

    Pizza” is the top seller. Decide between plain, pizza, raisin, or onion. Make sure you specify whether you want it whole or “cut up.” Recite in 1 sentence (i.e. “Pizza cut up”). Bring cash.

    Plain focaccia is the best, but anything is great, really. If you are in a sweets mood get the raisins one

    This is My family bakery I'm the 4th generation . I have been eating it since I was little but the pizza flavor is definitely my favorite (:

    The olive oil-drenched focaccia in flavors like raisin, garlic, and olive sells out early. They only take cash and the whole joint shuts down by lunchtime. - Green Guide Editor

    The pizza focaccia here is a beautiful thing because it captures San Francisco's northern Italian roots and the city's present love affair with pizza in one soft, airy, sauce-topped slab. Read more

    Has been the same since my childhood. Get there early because they close before 2pm and they usually run out of the good stuff by noon. Closed on Sundays.

    Go to Mario's across the park if you can't get here early enough. They use Liguria focaccia for their sandwiches.

    The rosemary focaccia is absolutely perfect. Get there early, because they sell out very quickly (normally closed by noon to 1)

    Be nice to them, and be ready to order. The rosemary focaccia is better than the mushroom.

    My walking tour of North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf always includes Liguria Bakery. It was Frank Viollis who introduced us to this renowned neighborhood bakery. Be sure to visit before 2:00 pm. Read more

    A slice is about 1/4 of a sheet pan. Share a slice sitting in the park, watching dogs frolic and seniors practice tai chi.
