The Sausage Factory
American · Italian · San Francisco, CA
About
Unlike other Italian spots in The Castro, The Sausage Factory started as an actual sausage factory. Its tongue-in-cheek name now doubles as a playful nod to that history and to the modern neighborhood. The menu mixes American and Italian comfort food, including pizza. It's a straightforward place with no frills, just solid eats.
The hours are limited: dinner Tuesday through Thursday, and lunch through dinner Friday to Sunday. Yelp data shows a 3.7/5 rating from nearly 700 reviews, with Italian and pizza as top categories. Weekend lunch is a smart bet if you want to avoid the dinner crowd. Grab a scoop from Bi-Rite Creamery after your meal.

“it was OK”
Avoid the chicken entirely. Despite being a pizzeria, they don't have pizza spatulas, and wine is served in a water glass.
