The pizza here is amazing. I tried the pepperoni slice and it was genuinely delicious with a very authentic flavor. Even late at night the queue was surprisingly long, which says a lot about how popular the place is. It’s just a small takeaway counter, so don’t expect a premium atmosphere, more of a classic, local vibe. During peak hours you’ll need to wait in line, and once you reach the front you place your order, pay, and give your name. After that there’s a short wait until they call you, and then you get your pizza. Overall, great taste and totally worth the wait if you’re craving a quality slice.

What a cute and quick pizza joint! We took pizza slices and they were delicious, especially the garlic clam. It’s very unique and too garlicky. They were quite filling and soft for the price. Very affordable. The decor is very funky and cool too! There were no place to sit in front, had to walk to the nearest park. Where the vibe was very nice too.

I’m not a huge fan of pizza, but this place was okay. The bread was thick and had a nice texture. We ordered the garlic pizza and the mushroom pizza with meat — both were decent. Not something I’d normally go out of my way for, but it was an overall fine experience.

Pretty good pizza a lil out of your ordinary flavors but for what it is really tasty and fresh. Had a line but surprisingly moved pretty fast. Had the clam and garlic didn't really taste clams. Next time I'll try to others. Was actually surprised on the price too. Hot and hit the spot perfectly. Super friendly service too.

Best pizza in San Francisco. Pick up only, call your order in to avoid a wait. The dough was great had the perfect texture, great crunch on the exterior and good chew on the middle. I had the combo, veggie pesto, and clean and garlic. The combo was the best by far perfect ratio of toppings to cheese and sauce. The veggie pesto could have used more sauce but was still fantastic. The clam and garlic was not what I was expecting, it was good but there was no clam, or so little that I couldn't tell. It was very flavorful with all the garlic but I wanted more clam. I will definitely come back if I'm in San Francisco again!
