Pizza Joint

Delicious pepperoni pizza During the shelter in place, I visited this location for the first time and placed an order through the website, which linked me to an online ordering service. I must admit that the pizza's quality and price really impressed me. Even though it was during regular business hours, I came here because our usual place was closed. However, given the epidemic, I suppose what was considered typical business hours today isn't so normal anymore. The pizza looked fantastic and was cooked to absolute perfection. Each location received the appropriate amount and placement of pepperoni. I'll be back for more, for sure!

I called for To-Go and when I went inside the place was amazing and smelled good. I can’t believe I didn’t come here sooner considering I lived in the Richmond district for like 5 years now. I only had their sandwiches and they are pretty good. I had the sandwich called “San Fransycho” and it was pretty good. Even had the “hangover sandwich” it was good too! I recommend this place for people who are in the neighborhood.

Everything about the Pizza Joint is top tier in my book! The pizza was cooked to perfection- delicious flavors, perfect amount of crisp, fabulous crust, and great slice sizes!! Haven't had pizza this authentic and awesome ever! Honestly, its a 10 out of 10, AND the service was fantastic!! Owner so kind, courteous, and friendly! Will recommend to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much!! :D

This is a good vibes pizza shop - was busy when I went in there with local kids hanging out and other folks. The owner is friendly and funny. He saw that I was having trouble hauling an XL pizza on my scooter and he engineered an innovative solution for me. The pizza was great too. They can do a no cheese pizza and still make delicious, which not every pizza place can do.

Great tasting pepperoni pizza! Went to this place for the first time, during shelter in place, ordered on the website which redirected to an online ordering service. I'd like to say that I was impressed with the quality and value of the pizza. I went here because our usual spot was closed, even though it was normal business hours, but I guess during the pandemic, what is really normal business hours nowadays. The pizza had a great look to it, and was cooked to perfection. The crust was airy and crisp. The ratio of bread-cheese-sauce was good. The amount of pepperoni was adequate and placed specifically on each area, since there wasn't any overlap of each individual slices of pepperoni. The cost was good given that we chose the large special. Portion was good enough for 3-4 adults. I will definitely come back for more!

Everyone who works here is top notch. The food is exemplary and the service is awesome. I highly recommend this place. You won't regret it. I wish I could go back every day and try out everything on the menu! Also, try their brownies.

Amazing food, my husband and I ordered a combo slice each and it came out to 12$ and was the best pizza I’ve ever had, the crust the sauce, everything was amazing.

First time here. Giant slices and the crust is perfect! Try the pepperoni and add garlic! I’ll definitely be back!

Stumbled into this place randomly. Loved it. Yummy slices, loaded with stuff (combo slice) and the sandos were really good. Was quite surprised. Sort of an east coast sub (sandwich) vibe. Bread was awesome.

Great balboaliscious sandwich. Nice menu with variety. Parking is easy. Staff super nice. Awesome!

Fair price for the size of the sandwich I swear it was huge. I can normally smash Downey's sandwich at Togo's or Subway and still be a little hungry but this place was great flavor and it was still good the next day since I wasn't able to finish the whole portion.

Was craving pizza, stopped by on my way home. Pizza slice was big and topping were lots.

The customer service is amazing. The owner gives us pretzels and water to wait for our 12 sandwiches order. My 1st time in this place. Delicious too!

Friendly staff, and yummy food. I had the Pisces pizza, which has clams, shrimp, and fresh garlic, and it was hot and delicious. Highly recommended!

Wow!! I just got back from my second visit here. Such a quirky pizza/sandwich joint. I love the decor but, the food is incredible. I have had the Italian sub twice and the dog walker one time and it’s beyond delicious. So happy to have had the opportunity to support this local buisness!

Live in the neighborhood gave them a try... WOW the meat lasagna was Really Delicious 😋

Pretty decent 2 topping XL pizza. Chocolate cake and greek salad were both good too. Pricing is a little too high compared to the nearby donairo's.

I love the pizza. I don't love how they charge you full price, unless you tell them you know there's a pizza special, and even then, they might call someone else from the back, who never shows up, until you give up and go feeling bad about the place. Not the best way to keep your customers.

Eclectic atmosphere that is cozy and inviting. The pizza was really good but a bit over priced for by the slice. Worth the out of the way drive even if the cooks mean mugging ya from the back;) #youhadme@pizza

Only visited here twice, including today. Very impressed with the well-planned decor, especially in such a small establishment. The owners are definitely artistic, judging by the things they've chosen to display and the way menus, etc. are highlighted. Enjoy just taking it all in. As for food . . .fantastic-sounding pizzas, breakfast bagels and sandwiches, with creative-sounding names! I love the framed sign, that says, "we welcome well-behaved children ." Also, for any sport enthusiasts, they have 2 wide-screened TV's . . .a soccer game playing today. Worth a visit. Will try the vegetarian breakfast bagel next time.

The joint is small, unassuming, the kind of neighborhood outpost you stumble into when the city has chewed you up and you need something solid, something honest. And the pizza—by God, the pizza—stood tall. No flop, no soggy compromise. A crust with backbone, the kind Dave Portnoy would tip his cap to and call righteous. It’s not the sort of cathedral of cuisine people pilgrimage across town to see. No, this is a bunker, a foxhole of melted cheese and red sauce. The prices sting, but that’s San Francisco—the city taxes your wallet with one hand and feeds your soul with the other. On the wall: a convenience-store lineup of snacks, as if you might need a bag of chips or a pack of candy to soften the landing after the pie. Overhead, The Simpsons run in endless loop, Homer and Bart like patron saints of this strange corner eatery. In the end, the arithmetic is simple. The place delivers where it counts: the pizza is good, and when the last bite is gone you’re already thinking about the next. That, in this city of smoke and mirrors, is victory enough.

I don't usually leave 4-star reviews, but I'm hoping to provide some earnest feedback because I actually love this place. It's our local spot and our go-to, but recently the quality has dipped a little. The base and crust are thicker/breadier than they used to be and the pizza I got tonight was a little under-done. Still a tasty enough pizza and I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from giving it a try. Just want to share that the slices used to be a little better when they were thinner because I'd love to see them get back to their original 5-star standard :) For reference, I got a medium pepperoni pizza. But the last time couple times we ordered a large and it was the same.

The endearing decor combo of astrology, Italy, and public transportation themes are top tier, the people are so kind, they're fast, and the pizza is phenomenal. The only thing I'd change is that I would love a vegan cheese option (please!).

The calzone I purchased was really good. Not too much dough and just the right amount of cheese. I just wish some marinara sauce came with the price of it. I spent an additional $4.00 for sauce. Smh!

Love the ambiance.. Went here for a quick bite.. I had the cheese pizza slice.. It was just mediocre..Their bread seemed powdery.. Not well cooked... A costco pizza slice is 100x better and more filling and cheaper that this one

I ordered delivery through Grubhub because on the app it said it was rated 5/5 stars. I was very disappointed. I'm torn between giving it 2 or 3 stars, and after the fact when I went to read the reviews there were quite a few 1, 2, and 3 ratings so I don't see how Grubhub could say it gets a perfect 5. Is it possible to pay for a rating boost? I can't really imagine any other way... Specifically, the pizza I ordered was supposed to have garlic chicken, but the one I got had teriyaki which tasted so weird with the pesto sauce that I ended up pulling it off the pizza. The crust was under baked, flat as a pancake, and flavorless. Overall it was underwhelming and vaguely unpleasant to eat. It got to me earlier than expected, so I guess that was nice.

Pretty good sandwiches, I haven't tried the pizzas yet. But it appears to be a fairly standard pizza by the slice spot. Plenty of room for eating and hanging out with friends.

Caters to the Wash HS students. Certainly not gourmet fare, but beats frozen store pizza. Since it's in my neighborhood, I sometimes stop to buy a single topping piece of pizza. Haven't tried the sandwiches.

I was happy that they had pizza by the slice, but for two combination slices it came out to $14, omg!! A $7 slice! Pizza is getting too expensive, and I feel like that's way too much for a slice. Customer service was great, though, greeted with a smile.👍

When you see this place from the street it beckons you to come in for a slice, so much so that I've impulsively stopped here three times in the last two years when I wasn't even hungry. Then when you walk in, you think it's going to be amazing, because it has all the hallmarks of a classic pizza joint. The atmosphere is really just perfect for a slice shop. The staff can be a little rough around the edges, which I'm okay with, as it seems more authentic, and they seem to have a good report with the regulars. I've been here twice during school lunch when they are inundated with students and they handle the rush incredibly well. I really want this to be a place I seek out when I'm in the neighborhood, but unfortunately, the pizza is just terrible. I kept giving them another chance because I thought it had to be a fluke given the atmosphere and outrageous prices, but then I realized, they are surviving on their captive audience through the nearby high school, and the fact that there aren't many other options in the area. I implore you to get a new recipe and make this place a beacon for slices. Test out other recipes, maybe take a trip to the highest rated pizza places in the Bay area and make some connections. There's so much information on Facebook and YouTube now (I'd recommend the Pizza Gavones free recipe), that you can make amazing pizza at home with no skills and a household oven. So, with an amazing spot and professional oven like you have, you have got to up your game!

Came to the joint based on good reviews but now I question if those raving reviews are legit. Pizza was 3 out of 5 stars, service and atmosphere 1 star only. The fog was rolling in along with cold air from the ocean so we asked if we can close the doors but we were told that the doors had to stay open. There were no other customers at that time and the chilly space was anything but cozy. I ordered a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni but they gave me two slices of pepperoni. My companion ordered something else and asked for a knife but was told that they just run out of those and only had plastic forks. I guess this place might be ok if you are just picking up stuff to go and they don't mess your order up.

Stayed at a beach hotel about 1 1/2 blocks away befa surgery. Ordered one 14" that cost $56. Driver came, appeared to have literally just stepped out of the shower, claimed not to have change for a $20. The pizza wasn't bad and I suppose her negative attitude was free.

Honestly, the pizza was gross. $6.00 slice and it had to be the worst pizza I've ever had. It tastes just like the square school pizza. There was so much cheese on it but absolutely zero pizza sauce. Tastes like a big chewy piece of dough. 2 pieces for $12.00. I would have gone back and asked for my money back because I didn't even eat it and threw it in the trash except the girl at the counter seemed confused when I was asking questions about the menu and she didn't seem to understand anything I was saying. Update: Thank you to the owner for your kind offer but as I threw the pizza away, I don't expect any compensation. However, the pizza was pepperoni, not cheese and it was very bad pizza so I just frankly will not be back. It's concerning to me that pizza that I paid $6 a slice was not good. I should not be led to believe that if I purchase a full pizza or I'm given a full pizza that it should somehow be better. The experience should be the same regardless of which pizza I order and whether by the slice or full pizza. Thank you

Pizza was absolutely terrible. Barely Edible. Barely any sauce. And $6-$7 for a slice outrageous! Not worth 3-4. Guy at the counter wasn't friendly. I wouldn't suggest this place or wouldn't eat here ever again. Its like a step below Little Caesars

I was on a long run, was looking for pizza slice and came here as it was said to be open on Google Map, only to find a closed door and realized they fooled me with inaccurate information. Be aware and go elsewhere

Locked 🔒 house but it says open in Google and I use GPS navigation to get some pizza 🍕 so you guys you have to be update yourself immediately you need to put exact information for the new customer.

I try to support local businesses, but this place was a total washout. I don't like leaving negative reviews. DRY. No detectable sauce. Very little cheese and dry and hard, clearly stale cheese. Toppings unappetizing. To add insult to injury a medium pizza cost $28 and couldn't even fill one adult and two small children. I normally eat the crusts since I hate waste. Not that crust. Inedible. Never again. Not even in quarantine.

I ordered the Balboalucious. There was a bone in my sub? I am from enyce, not cool. Why would I ever give you a painting for free, when you leave a bone in my sandwich? Peace our boyscout. You lost a customer.

I usually do not leave reviews but I ordered a couple of slices of pizzas to go - one combo and the other pepperoni. He took my money and then I walked out. I then open the box when I was walking to my car. I did not receive a combo but a pepperoni and a plain cheese. I walked back and told him that I did not receive a combo. He said it would take 10 minutes and I asked him why give me a cheese pizza when I ordered a pepperoni and combo? He had nothing to say and refunded me. I will say I will never go this place again. I understand if they made a mistake but he knowingly charge me something they didn't have hoping I would not notice. There are so many other honest pizza to order from. He said a combo would take 10 minutes so why give me a cheese?

Actually they wouldn't honor my coupon even though I called and when ordering told them I had a coupon for $19.99. supposedly they raised the coupon price to $ 23.99 or something like that. Technically they were responsible to honor my coupon as it has no expiration. But they would rather lose a loyal customer who has ordered for many years than give me what was rightfully due. Oh well... That's how businesses end up closing and then they can't figure out why. The pizza isn't that fabulous either just convenient.

The employee so un welcoming. He looked angry the whole time like he was forced to work. He had bad attitude towards customers. Customer service zero for sure. Never coming back here again because the next thing he night do is insult me.
