Mmmmmmm. Yummy pizza. Mmmmmmm yummy beer. Mmmmmmm big beer selection of random pilsners from Germany. Not a bad way to do the most excellent pizza and beer combination. Have been going here when in the 'hood for many years.

The best pizza of its type in the bay area. The best pizza of any kind within, say, 5 miles. The pizza here is what I would call medium thickness. It's not pan, but it's not New York thin either. It has a really good chewy crust and the toppings are top rate. I can't speak to the foo-foo gourmet pizzas because I find them an abomination to pizza in general. The standard pizzas here, which you can order to your own taste, are great. The Italian sausage is crumbled on, and is quite tasty. It's first come first served, so arrive a little early. If it's crowded you sometimes have to wait like a vulture for a table to clear. The decor is like a college crowd place, but the actual clientele is more varied than that. It's a bit loud, but not obnoxious or anything. For a good tasty unpretentious meal, I highly recommend this place.

Second to none in the Bay Area for their style of pizza (style = generally unconventional and excellent combinations of toppings). They will also gladly customize and mix pizzas to your specs. Also try the Applewood 2 Go across the street for those "eat in" nights.

Great pizza for the Bay Area (although that really doesn't say a lot). There are exotic pizzas but they have the old standbys as well. The toppings are generous and I like the quality of the crust and the sauce. Excellent beer selection, too. Get the langosh as an appetizer.

Eh, why does everybody love this place? I have lived in the area for 7 years now, and every now and then I get myself to try this pizza, and I am always unimpressed. If you want a pizza with a bunch of toppings you can't find any where else then this is the place. Otherwise, the pizza is really pretty average. As a remark to D. Appelt's review of the Hungarian food, I must disagree. My father is from Budapest and I have had the "real thing" and I was not really wowed by Applewood. In fact, the sausage they use on their Hungarian pizza is not really Hungarian. The goulash is not bad, but it is not really very authentic. All in all, not a bad place to eat, but there is much better, less "creative" pizza on the peninsula.

Currently eating a vegetarian version (artichokes, peppers, mushrooms). It's not bad, but I wouldn't say it's a great pizza by any measure. For those of you who think it's the best in the Bay, well, I wouldn't know, but it can't hold a candle to Figs' in Boston. I guess I must be spoiled. Anyone who knows a better place, please email me as I'm new to the area and do love great pizza.... Ken

Tasty, albeit somewhat "heavy" pizzas with an absolutely outstanding (and inexpensive) German beer selection! Try the Hungarian pizza with some Dunkel Hefe-weizen.

The best pizza in the Bay Area. Good selection of beers (could be better, though).

Not a fan of pizza at all, but will eat Applewood Pizza!! Try one of their specialty pizzas or create your own. I particularly like the BBQ Chicken and cilantro pizza.
