Tbf to them they don’t claim it to be , but neopolitans claim to have the best in the world and this is always up there in their top places .. I like my dough a bit crisper but it was good .
After all it’s fast food .. the friends , ambiance, sunshine , how much beer etc All contribute to best pizza experience, I’m keen to try the antica Michele (?) but the queue is so long ( and there’s so much other good food ), but again they make no claims and only do 2 pizza .. margarita or marinare -
I live in SF these days, and Patxi's is really good but there are ones that I think are a little bit better. IF you ever come back, I recommend Little Star Pizza in SF and then Zachary's in Oakland.

^ It does look good...
Best pizza in the world is a ridiculous claim, but the most memorable pizza I've had was one i ordered to takeaway from a place called Patxi's in San Francisco which I ate in the pub next door with a beer. I was crashing with a mate of a mate who lived there and he suggested we go pepperoni and mushroom; I don't even like mushroom but I was a guest and I'd just arrived so didn't want to be a dick and went with it.
It was deep dish - i assumed deep pan in the US was just like a pizza hut or dominos, but this was a totally different game and it blew my mind. I tried to tell my host, it was the best pizza I'd ever had, but he didn't get the gravity of what I was trying to convey so I left it.
Context is probably relevant - I was cycle touring and so my hunger levels were off the the chart. I hadn't remembered the name of the place correctly either but I've just managed to google it - and apart from the toppings, this picture seems accurate to my recollection.
