As good as San Francisco's baking culture is, surely there's NY-style (real! :)) pizza to be had?

Is this where I'm supposed to jump in and name some place in a town you've never heard of in Italy as having the actual best pizza in the world? (Unfortunately it doesn't have a sign and it's down an alleyway, you'll never find it, and the owner won't serve you if you don't speak correctly-accented Italian and have a large enough moustache. And it's only open twice a year and they don't take reservations.)

edit: Seriously though, if you're in San Francisco and looking for a good thin-crust pizza, the first thing you need to do is get on the BART. Then go to Cheeseboard in Berkeley. Try to do it on a day when they have a particularly delicious pizza, eg one of the ones with potato or anything with pine nuts. It's not "authentically" anything, it's just tasty.
