Best for serious pizza fans
Saint Francis Apizza
Near Oakley And Hyde Park • Wood-Fired Apizza Specialist • Destination For Purists
Saint Francis Apizza focuses on a tight menu of wood-fired pies with blistered crusts and top-tier ingredients, drawing pizza obsessives from well beyond Madison Place.
This small, focused shop leans into New Haven–style inspiration: charred edges, chewy centers, and restrained but high-quality toppings. The menu is shorter than at most pizzerias, which lets them dial in consistency and flavor on every pie. If you care more about dough, sauce, and balance than sheer size or novelty, it’s worth planning a dedicated pizza run here.
