Tommaso’s, a 91-year-old North Beach Italian institution and San Francisco’s first West Coast wood-fired pizza spot, faces eviction after falling behind on $4,800 in rent. Owner Maureen Donegan, who took over in 2025 after decades of family ownership, launched a GoFundMe to raise $30,000—so far, only $1,400 has been pledged. The restaurant’s struggles stem from soaring costs, aging equipment, and a post-pandemic drop in customers, worsened by last winter’s broken oven and failing freezers. Despite its storied legacy—celebrated by legends like Coppola and Lucas—Donegan’s fight to save this historic eatery is a last-ditch effort to preserve a piece of SF’s culinary soul.
