EaterWire AM Edition: Golden Boy to Extend to 4am?

NORTH BEACH—If the epic lines are any indication (they are), the after-hours drunken food mecca of North Beach—and possibly all bordering neighborhoods—is surely Golden Boy Pizza. The deep dish pizza fave has been closing at 2am on weekends (to the chagrin of many would-be diners), but now, they have submitted a proposal to stay open until 4am, which would be a bold move in a city where you can count the midnight dining options on your fingers. The bad news is that the Planning Commission has to approve the move, and with North Beach's conservative reputation and stuff like this, the odds for a 4am extension aren't great, but weirder things have happened.
