This is Pizza for Californians and Tourists

If you are actually thinking this is going to be New York pizza you're wrong. This is Californians with no passion making thin crust pizza. It's alright I guess, I have had it before will have it again. Not out of wanting a legit slice. There aren't any in California, get used to it. New York pizza is a whole different story, this place should do their homework because I think they're one of the few who could probably actually be that good if they did.
- Pros: At leat the idea of this place is hopeful to a city with bad pizza. It looks like New York in there at least.
- Cons: It's not as good as it should be. It's like giving someone hamburger when you advetized steak.
Cheap, delicious, and open late

I'm sure I didn't eat enough pizza when I lived in New York. Now that I'm a block away from this joint, the mood arises for pizza ...way too often. It mostly has to do with the very not-New-York flavors in the pesto, potato, and garlic pizza. I can barely imagine a 2am without that flat sliced friend.
- Pros: Creative flavor combinations
- Cons: A little extra greasy
Love the pizza

Any place I can get broccoli on my pizza is going to have my attention!! But their stuff is always fresh and yummy. I use them mostly for delivery and they are pretty good about getting the pizza to me within an hour and it's still hot or at least very warm.

This pizza might be the best around. So many different kinds of pizza to choose from and is also cheap. If you want New York style pizza but out of the hustle and bustle of new york come to this place.

If you want good pizza you should come here. The pizza is great and there is such a big selection. It's not that expensive either and you will always have left overs. I would recommend this place to others.

Yes, this is the closest to NY Pizza in San Francisco. Some of the varieties are a little more California than NY (Pesto?). The cheese and pepperoni pizza are as good as you get on the streets of Manhattan.
This tiny, no-frills pizzeria churns out thin-crust, New York-style pies.

In Short
The restaurant specializes in take-out and delivery, and has very little seating. Veering somewhat from its namesake genre, the take-out spot is best known for its "You Say Potato" pie, made with sauteed potatoes, roasted garlic, and pesto. Other specialty pizzas run the gamut from the "Big Meat Combo" to the "Veggie Lit," featuring part-skim mozzarella.
Good pizza, but not the best, and expensive.

They had interesting types of pizza that were good. I would recommend trying the pesto or pesto and potato pizza, it was pretty good. I was surprised at the prices though, I think a slice was almost $4. I don't know if it's worth that much.
- Pros: good pizza, quick, different types
- Cons: expensive

I started going to this place because they used to pass out flyers for a free soda with a slice of pizza on Haight Street. Good pizza, but very little sitting room.
PROS: Good Pizza
CONS: Not much seating

this wasnt the best ive had in the city, but definately not the worst. i had a slice of pesto with potato on top, and a LOT of whole garlic cloves, most of which i took off. it was good, but didnt have that much flavor. the crust was good though. id go back again, which should say something.
