If you're craving legit Detroit-style pizza in the Mission, this spot on 16th Street absolutely delivers on the crust. The Good The Crust & Cheese: That signature lacey, caramelized cheese crown around the edges (the frico) is cooked to perfection. The dough hits that ideal balance--thick and airy on the inside with a satisfying, crunchy bottom. The Sauce: Ladled on top hot and sweet, cutting right through the rich, buttery brick cheese. Portions: A 4-slice square looks modest, but it's dense and filling enough to easily feed two hungry people (or give you elite next-day leftover cold pizza). Why 4 Stars Instead of 5? Seating & Vibe: It's pretty tight inside. It functions much better as a quick bite or grab-and-go rather than a relaxed sit-down dinner. The Wait: Peak hours on 16th St get busy, and because these thick pans take time to bake right, wait times can stretch. Pro-tip: order ahead online if you're starving. Bottom Line: Easily some of the best pan pizza in SF. Fantastic comfort food right in the heart of the Mission--just be prepared to grab a slice to-go and eat it in Dolores Park on a nice afternoon! read more

Detroit Square Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hole in the wall place we found while walking around in the mission! They had displays of the Detroit style pizza in the windows that looked extremely tempting, so we decided to pick one up! It's pretty much a grab and go place, with some outdoor tables. You order at the kiosks in the window. We ordered the proper pepperoni. It's a pretty good deal since you get two squares for $9, and you get your food pretty quick. I wouldn't say that this was one of my favorite pizzas in the city -- the dough was really thick and the sauce was really salty. Would probably grab pizza from other joints nearby next time. read more

Understand the prices of the city are high but you still need to sell a reliable product and tonight I ordered five double slices and they all sucked ass. Served in a plastic covered white thick paper ci gainer with no steam outlet they turned to "crispy" mush in the way over. The toppings were thrown together by the cheapest and most blind prep cook ever. Fucking thing is naturally cheap tolerance and you can cut corners any more but somehow they found a way. Never ordering from here again no mater what you do. It's just not worth the risk. 100$ down the drain because you can't use an oven properly. Just wow. read more

Excellent value and friendly FAST service. I really enjoyed my visit and the surrounding area of San Francisco. Value is outstanding here. The prices are very low - especially for a plain cheese 2 slice - I think starting at $7. Its just the perfect thing if you are having a drink or two or three nearby. Fast service. From the time you pay I believe there is somebody working on your order. No time wasted. I was impressed how it was prepared and then even real cheese topping shaved on top fresh. It felt like a lot of care was given to my order. Outside kiosk - two actually. I think one happened to be offline - but friendly fast service inside. Pizza itself - I prefer Square Pie Guys - but this is a by the slice and its not fair to compare with a more formal sit down type place. It is similar to Golden Boy - and that is a more fair comparison. Thick crust - very filling - perfect if you have the munchies. read more

4.5 stars! Such a deliciously greasy offering of pizza. Really quick service. The pepperoni pizza comes with a great amount of meat and cheese-- just a little too salty. It's a bit expensive for what you get and feels a bit unhealthy to eat but it's a GREAT late night snack. read more

Probably one of the worst deep dish pizzas I had the bread was so ridiculously soggy. It felt like a kitchen sponge. The toppings didn't have much flavor nor was there any crispy cheese on the edges you expect with a Detroit pizza the employee was apathetic, and I ordered from the kiosk and only realized that I paid an extra dollar had I ordered directly from the cashier because the prices are different. read more

If you want a quick, filling, and cheap slice of Detroit style pizza, this is the place for you! After ordering on the kiosk outside, it took maybe 3 minutes for our two square slices of cheese pizza to come out. It was only $7 total and was able to satisfy my partner and I as an early dinner before heading to a 2 hour comedy show. My partner said it was pretty good, but since it was the first time I had Detroit deep dish style, I had nothing to compare it to and I thought it was delicious! Fluffy and bouncy bread with delicious crispy cheese edges. It's interesting how the cheese sort of separates from the bread (see photo) but the taste is great so it's no issue. No tables inside, just the kitchen, but they have a couple tables outside. Friendly service as well! read more

Little hole in the wall pizza shop nestled next to the Roxie. Not to be mistaken by joyride albeit similar. I'd say this place is just as good - servicing delicious pizzas and quick to get in/out. Ordered the veggie slice which was enormous and filling. read more

Small little pizza place right next to the Roxie with a self order machine that looked kinda tasty so we decided to check it out. We got the proper pepperoni slice for about 9 dollars and our food was ready in about 5 minutes. The guy who served us our pizza was very cool . They gave two slices as seen in the photo and was pretty filling. Super fluffy and the sauce was very tasty. Also the pepperoni was pretty good too. However it was a little salty so I would recommend asking for little less salt. Overall pretty good food and service!!! read more

Delicious. The order was easy and at a kiosk. No real seating or interaction with anyone outside of someone letting me know my order was ready but that was not an issue at all. The slices were big and warm. Perfectly crisp and flavorful. I added the chili honey which was good but didn't seem to have the chili aspect to it just the sweetness of the honey, read more

Detroit Square Pizza - Cheese Slice Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Pretty quick grab-and-go hole-in-the-wall for Detroit slices where you order at a kiosk and get your pizza shortly there after. Compared to regular slices in the neighborhood, these are pretty tasty. However, compared to other well-established Detroit pizza places in San Francisco, these are a bit behind the pack. Cheese Slice: Very bready. Almost wondering if it was parbaked a bit without the topping first, since it was so airy. Like you want a little density, the kind of density that comes from heavy toppings weighing down the raw dough a little. The cheese crust on the side was legit though, nice and crispy. Also, enjoyed the mound of marinara sauce. Proper Pepperoni Slice: Essentially the same format as the cheese slice, but with some pepperoni. I like how the small slices cupped up a bit so the edges were crispy and the center was soft. Could have used more slices of pepperoni in my onion though, since the top wasn't jam packed. read more

I was craving some pizza late night and saw this place in the Mission open until midnight on July 4th so thought I would give it a try. It was a new place with few ratings, so thought I would give it a try. This place seemed like a togo only place, with two small tables out in case you wanted to eat there. They actually served their slices in 2, meaning you get a corner piece and a regular piece, which is kind of nice because you know you will get a corner which is sought after for Detroit pizza. It took around 5 min to get the cheese and the veggie slices, and the cheese was coming out right from the oven. We took at home to try as it was packaged nicely as well. The crust honestly felt dry for Detroit pizza, so not as authentic as I thought. The flavor was great. The cheese definitely cooled down, so it didn't feel as nice, so may have needed toaster oven treatment. But the cheese was cooled down to a separate layer, so it felt a little cheap and didn't really help the crunchiness of the cheese crust. The veggies on the pizza worked really well, which is what saved the pizza! The person at the front was friendly, and the price was extremely reasonable for the area. Maybe I have to try it again next time when it's more fresh and reheated, but for a place that calls themselves as such, it wasn't the best that I had in the area. read more

Detroit Square Pizza - Veggie Slice Pizza and Cheese Slice Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

3.5 STARS One of the top drunchies? Pizza. And, Taco Bell if you want a sore bunghole the next day but that's another story. Detroit Square Pizza is the newest player in the game (per staff, sister eatery to Truly Med). They're centrally located near the bars on 16th...making it an ideal drunchie pit stop. They're open for mainly takeout and delivery. O R D E R I N G Contactless ordering via two kiosks outside. You can order ahead on their website but slices are $2.81-$5.26 more per slice. Also, listed on 3rd party delivery apps. M E N U * Slices (2 pc): Cheese, Pepperoni (Ezzo), Supreme, and Veggie ($7-$10 each). Whole pizzas available. * Add-ons ($2-$10): Chili honey, stracciatella (creamy, burrata filling), marinara dip, and white sauce dip. For the bougie, there's truffles, gold flakes and caviar. P I Z Z A * Cheese Slice (2 pc-$7): http://tinyurl.com/3cb6h64n ++ Chili honey (menu: $1, charged $2) --Base: The focaccia-like dough is airy and porous with a light, bouncy chew. But, the undercarriage was on the pale side with minimal browning so it wasn't crispy. --Toppings: Chunky band of bright, flavorful marinara sauce with fresh basil ribbons. Maybe because the top was overdone but the cheese wasn't stretchy, nor melty or gooey. No cheese pulls. =( --Cheese crown/crust: Detroit-style pizza is all about that coveted crispy, lace-y caramelized cheese crown/crust! Unfortunately, the cheese crown/crust was thick and chewy (30 minutes into their opening). It doesn't seem their conveyer belt is an ideal, nor an effective heating device. --Add-on: Chili Honey Slight drizzle, not enough to give you that spicy sweet contrast to the salty cheese. I hope they consider giving customers a small sauce cup of chili honey instead. S E R V I C E Minimal interaction. With no line, it took about 5-7 minutes to warm up a slice. A M B I A N C E Closet sized space (used to be barber shop) with one two-top outside and a couple of random stools/chairs. P A R K I N G Street parking is always an issue in the area but Bart is just down the block. Overall, I had a similar experience to Yarn Y. It was an adequate pizza square if I was barhopping on 16th/Valencia area and had the drunchies. But, for being sober, it didn't quite hit the spot compared to other players in the city: SPG (brick & mortar), Joyride, and Cellarmaker. Not yet, at least. Probably a matter of working out the kinks or the key is to order a whole pizza to ensure it's fresh out of the oven. 3.5 stars rounded up for value and for a new local small business. read more

Want fluffy and crunchy squares? Here's your place. Great small pepperoni, great freshly shaved cheese, great tomato sauce. I don't even like thick crust, but this place has me coming back for more. I bought one slice at first, then came back with my friends and bought a whole pie! Here's my favorite part you can add such extravagant items such as gold flakes, truffles, and Caviar. Yeah, you read that right! read more

Being a Michigander, I know Detroit style pizza. I was excited when I saw Detroit Square Pizza pop in my neighborhood. Interesting that it's just a block away from another Detroit style pizza spot. Very small establishment, no seating available! Ordering using the kiosks in front was quick and easy. I ordered a pepperoni slice $9 and white dipping sauce $4 (aka ranch). The pepperoni slice was good. Detroit pizza has a delicious crunchy square crust and small pepperonis that crisp up in the oven. Could have used a little more hot honey/chili on top. What I was disappointed in was the "white dipping sauce". Paying $4 for ranch, I was expecting some delicious homemade ranch, but instead was given a small hidden valley packet? Now that's a rip off! Overall, the pizza was good, but you need a good ranch to go with Detroit style pizza! read more

Detroit Square Pizza - Proper Pepperoni Slice Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

We were walking and spotted this brand new place . Being the pizza fans we are , we had to give it a try . The pizzas standing in the window looked great so we ordered 2 slices of the veggie pizza . To our amazement , the person picked up the pizza they had in the window that was sitting there for quite some time , no proper heating and probably very dry by that time, cut out the slices and put it on the conveyer belt for heating . The slices were as you would expect them to be after being kept in these conditions - dry and cold (the conveyer wasn't even able to heat it properly ) Ever tried. Eating a Detroit style slice cold ? Not a pleasant experience Businesses need to respect the craft when it comes to food - this place doesn't seem to do that. Very disappointing . They should take a lesson from square pie guys on how to create and sell a proper Detroit style pizza Stay away read more

Ambiance 5/5: This new pizza spot opened up on 16th street and it is lit! It is worth the price, with amazing ingredients, large slices, and absolutely ridiculous and gimmicky add-ons that I might get next time. Food 5/5: I have got to say that I was impressed by both the dough and the crust of this Detroit style pizza. The pepperoni was quality and it came smothered in hot honey with extra tomato sauce on top. I especially liked that the crust was crunchy with crispy cheese baked into it. Price -$ - it's so hard to get good pizza slices for under $10 in SF these days. They cut our slice in half so my friend and I could share it and it was a substantial portion. Other fun stuff: this is SF, so pizzerias go all out. They have gold flakes and caviar as add ons. I didn't get get the gold flakes but I texted my family group chat and they convinced me that next time I have to! Service 5/5 - the guy Omar behind the counter was super nice and answered our questions about their pizza dough for sale. read more

I saw this place when I was walking out of the Roxie Theater. It looked so good and reminded me of Square Pie Guys, but closer to me. Unfortunately, the pizza is pretty bland. Not bad exactly, but not good either. I got the pepperoni pizza.

This place is fine. I liked it overall, definitely not bad, but not the best in the area, but it's worth the price, other places charge at lot more for single slice pizza. I'd say this is the best cheapest pizza by the slice around. read more

As usual nothing but the best. You have to try it quality in flavor consistency is the key and always spot on. read more

As we were ordering dessert across the street, I saw the cutest little store front with a sign that said Detroit pizza and I knew I had to give it a try. As we've been doing lately, to fairly judge a spot we ordered their classic cheese slice and which ended up being elevated when they top it with tomato/marinara sauce and some cheese on top. I wasn't even hungry when we ate this and I totally enjoyed it. The edges were crispy, had a good bite to it and overall a really tasty Detroit style slice of pizza. The added sauce after reheating the slice I could do without. The sauce was room temp, kinda cold, so the first mouthfeel is cold which takes away from the hot slice. Next time around, just the cheese slice, no sauce for me. I think for the price for under $8 after tax, one slice (then cut into two) was plenty for two people. It's a heavier style pizza, so a little goes a long way. Definitely a spot I'd go to again, especially after a night out in the mission. read more

Small business with a one man show. Great fluffy crust with tons of cheese. Ordered a veggie pizza and it was done within 15 minutes! Great service with some seats outside. Not really a done in restaurant, either take it to go or standing outside. read more

Pizza tasted good, but was more like a focaccia bread than detroit style pizza. It didn't seem fresh, I think the pizza had been sitting out a while before it was given to us. I can't say much about the ambiance since it is really a to go place and the service was straight to the point neither positive nor negative. For the price I'll be going somewhere else next time. read more

The pizza was subpar. Very fast tho, so if you need a quick eat and want pizza, here's a spot. However, the dough will be cold, the pepperonis will be overcooked and charred, and the pizza will be flavorless. I would rather have Little Caesar's. read more

It was late and we were hungry coming from a show. This was close by. Service was quick and easy. You walk up and order at the kiosk. Our order was ready in 10 mins. 2 squares for $9 was reasonable and filling. One square can be sufficient depending on how hungry you are. Good crunch on the crust and soft and fluffy in the middle. It was good but a little too thick on the cheese for me. Sufficient for a late night eat. read more

It tastes good. Preface this by saying I didn't order a whole pie and my slice was probably left out a bit too long. The good: it tastes good. The bread is good, crust is nice (Detroit style is my fav). The bad: it's not pizza. It's really a baked cheesy bread with marina on top. The components are separated, not infused, and every bite feels more of a sandwich than pizza. As pizza, I rate it poorly (6.7), but it's not bad. The portion size is a bit lacking per price, so I probably wouldn't come here again. read more

Came by for a quick bite before a movie. Got the cheese and the supreme, both hit the spot. Because it was by the slice that was sitting out, the crust had softened and didn't have a satisfying crunch that I love with Detroit style, but was satisfying all the same. Went back in to find a trash can for our empty boxes, and when I asked, the guy behind the counter gave me a weird laugh and shook his head. A simple no and maybe a suggestion of where the nearest trash was would have sufficed as an answer, no? read more
