Restaurant Event Photography in San Francisco – Behind the Scenes at Jules Pizza
San Francisco’s restaurant scene is always buzzing—but every so often, a new spot opens that instantly feels like home. Jules Pizza, located in Lower Haight, is one of those places. Equal parts cozy, cool, and delicious, it’s already SF’s favorite go-to for dinner—whether you’re out with your partner, friends, or bringing the whole family.

Behind the Scenes: Friends & Family Night at Jules Pizza
I had the pleasure of photographing Jules Pizza’s family and friends night just before their grand opening. The energy in the room was electric—plates full of perfectly crisped pies, bottles of wine constantly pouring, and lively laughter and conversation. From the moment guests walked in, it was clear this wasn’t just about food. It was about community.
Capturing these moments is what I love most about restaurant event photography—every genuine laugh, every shared slice, every toast tells the story of the space and the people behind it.

Jules Pizza: San Francisco’s New Favorite Spot in Lower Haight
As a Bay Area food & beverage photographer, nights like these are a dream to capture. Jules Pizza isn’t just serving up slices; they’re delivering up a whole experience. With fast, friendly service and a crew that clearly loves what they do, it’s no wonder their opening was filled with longtime friends, fellow restaurateurs, and family who’ve cheered them on from the start.
From pop-up to brick & mortar, I can’t wait to see what Jules Pizza continues to cook up. I walked away four boxes of pizza heavier and with a full heart— I already can’t wait to come back.
