Excellent garlic knots - order the red sauce for dipping! Nice service. Good atmosphere with indfor and outdoor seating.

Passed by this pizza place and saw they had vegan cheese substitute, so we had to try it! We got the Meatzza with vegan cheese. It came out pretty quickly and the server was super nice. The pizza was loaded with vegan cheese, bacon, sausage, and pepperoni. The cheese even had a cheese pull to it! The bacon and pepperoni were quite salty though. The red sauce helped balance the saltiness a bit, but next time we would get cheese and sausage instead of all three meats. The crust was soft and had a crispy edge. It was ever slightly too thin in our opinion though as it started to disintegrate in the middle with how much toppings there were. Overall, still very good place for Detroit pizza with vegan cheese! read more

Really amazing pizza. So many delicious and unique vegetarian options as well. We tried the pesto and another green one with ricotta. It was also beautiful presented. I ordered a pick up order for eight pizzas for party and everyone devour them. Pick up was so easy the pizza was there when I arrived. Thank you so much. Definitely going to order again for a party! read more

On this episode of Linda's pizza tour, we visited Joyride. I am a huge fan of Detroit style pizza and one place has held its status in my top 3 for a while now. So when T says try Joyride, it could change your mind, I gave it a shot. We ordered the cheese which was cut into 6 slices. First glance, underwhelming. The pizza lost its shape and looked deflated. The sauce was too tart for my liking. Its soft like a focaccia but I wouldn't categorize it as a pizza. Overall, I am not a fan. read more

Love this new location of joy ride. Counter service restaurant with lots of options! We opted for the large pep and 1/2 dozen garlic know with salted Carmel froyo! It was really flavorful and also beautiful presentation. The pizza came out quickly and was hot!! Lots of seating inside and some outside seating. Beautifully touch with all the plants and fresh flowers. Great vibes in there! Workers were helpful and so kind to our little one. Will be coming back. Also props to them for using too good to go and cutting down on food waste!!! Love supporting good companies like this one. read more

I tried this pizza at a brewery one time, but was excited to go to an actual location. The sweet heat pineapple has to be one of my favorites! The sweetness from the pineapple and the heat from the jalapeños create the perfect taste combo in your mouth. The sauce is also amazing! It adds so much flavor to the pizza. I really enjoyed this location because there was a lot of seating and the benches on the side were a nice cozy touch. Parking was fairly easy since we went into the garage, but I'm sure street parking is a little difficult. The cashier was really nice and greeted us when we came in. Our food came out fast which is always a plus! read more

I'm from Buffalo. I lived a mile away from The Anchor Bar who invented Buffalo wings. I can make the spot-on recipe myself. I take wings seriiousssly. When I share Joyride Pizza 's wings are legit, order them, lots of them, lots and lots. They are full of flavor, juicy and succulent. With a few sheet pizzas, you'll host a house party they'll be talking about for a long time. Joyride Pizza's Detroit-style pizza is equally taste-worthy: With a mouthwatering list of choices, it's hard to decide which pizza to order. They have salads and roast vegetables, too, and sides that include "hot honey" that I missed, mmmm. Housemade marinara, pesto ("Green Ecstasy Pesto") topped with an abundance of pepperoni or with capers, clams, tomatoes, parsley ("The Ocean Beach") we landed on the 2-piece "Smokin' Hot Mother Clucker" BBQ chicken personal pizza, all flavors of delicious: Smoky, hot, a little spicy and savory- totally unique and amazing. Enjoy the vibe with relaxing zen atmosphere in the dining room with cool jazz and world music. Clean plates, more napkins and lots of questions answered by Ever who knows a lot about his company and is really dedicated. Joyride Pizza has dairy free, vegan ("Sweet Bianca" with Tallegio, fig jam, ricotta, mozzarella and brick cheese) and gluten free options- come one, come everyone! Beer, wine and cool soda sips. read more

Based on the reviews, it seems like we probably came closer to closing time as there were only a few people seated and the place was pretty quiet. Interior is cozy and dark, giving off a relaxed, late-night diner vibe without the bright fluorescent lights. It's Detroit-style pizza, so I tried their classic pepperoni, and while the base was solid, I found the pepperoni too salty for my taste. Saw that there's a good variety of pizza options to choose from, so maybe I just got unlucky with my pick! read more

We first ate at another location and it was soooooo good! So we had to come back to the city and eat more! We found another branch that had nice seating and a more casual but fun place to sit and eat. This pizza was amazing!!! The service is so nice! read more

Just opened today! Another Joyride pizza shop amongst their other Bay Area stores. Nice location on Union Street with a open and airy space. Love the groovy Playlist too. Detroit-style whole pies come in personal (2 slices) or large (6 slices). Tried the mushroom sausage and it was very good. Foccacia bread crust was fantastic. En-JOY the pie-RIDE. read more

Joyride Pizza's new location is a fantastic addition to the Detroit-style pizza scene. I stopped by with my coworkers for a quick bite and left feeling completely fulfilled and stuffed. For Detroit-style pizza, it's impressively light and not overly doughy, which made it even more enjoyable. As a big fan of corner slices, I was happy with the crisp edges and generous toppings. Next time, I'll probably ask them to cook it a little longer to get that extra crunch on the undercarriage, which is just a personal preference. The seating arrangement inside is incredibly comfy and adds to the experience. For a chain, it's not your stereotypical Starbucks-style table setup that feels barebones. Instead, it's more homey and inviting, which makes it a great place to relax while enjoying your meal. The quick service and convenient cold water station nearby were much appreciated. To top it all off, we got to meet the owner, who was incredibly nice and clearly passionate about what he does. That love for his craft shines through in every bite of his pizza. Joyride Pizza is a must-try for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying Detroit-style pizza experience in the Cow Hollow area. I'll definitely be back! read more

I went in early to bring a friend in the north bay some excellent pizza for lunch. This is the only Joyride shop in SF that opens early. So I looked on line and couldn't order the pizza I wanted (it said they were out of just that one type....sad me) I tried calling but no answer. So I drove over to pick a different pizza and yes they were open as advertised online but boo! they don't start making pizza until lunchtime. Be nice if the website let you know. 4 stars anyway cuz the pizza is really good. :) read more

I came in after 2pm for lunch. Ordered the personal size of my pizza. They have many selections of pizza including vegan and vegetarian options. Service was great and the cashier told me it would take 10 minutes to make my pizza. Ambiance is clean, modern and surrounded by natural light! read more

The spot is super cute, clean, and has a good vibe--and the restroom was clean too, which is always a plus! The service was great, and my husband actually really enjoyed the pizza. As for me, Detroit-style pizza isn't really my thing. The sauce sitting on top instead of being baked into the crust just doesn't do it for me--I'm guessing that's part of the style, but it's not my favorite. We spent around $50 for the two of us and left still a little hungry, so I do think it's a bit pricey for the portion. The pizza looked better in the pics, but it was still decent overall. I'd probably come back if I were already in the neighborhood, but there are definitely better options and better value out there. read more

For months the sign on the door has said soft serve ice cream. Each time I go in weekly, someone says the same thing. They tell me it's coming. Cover the soft serve sign and take it off your menu until you can sell it. Don't advertise something you don't sell. Your square bougie pizza is missing soft serve for dessert. read more

I was very excited to try this pizza. Unfortunately I think it missed the mark in most categories. I tried the pepperoni, Sweet Bianca, and chicken wings. There was something off with sauce on the pepperoni. It really wasn't very enjoyable. I do think the pepperoni themselves were solid and the dough was decent, if you're into the Detroit style. Nice crispy edges. The sweet Bianca flavor was fairly on point. However the ricotta, which is something I am very fond of, somewhat ruined the bite. Maybe intentional due to the sweet nature of this pizza, but the ricotta had a whipped cream consistency and just didn't work for me. Chicken wings were fine, but nothing special. Sauce was unique, slight buffalo and straight hot sauce flavor. In general I think it's pretty expensive for the size of these pizzas, and wish I would've enjoyed more. I'll give it another shot down the road to try some other styles, but disappointed this won't be one of pizza staples going forward. read more

I visited this location after a fitness class nearby. The employee was friendly and gave me a few minutes to check out their menu. I ended up getting a pandan mochi cake and blueberry muffin. Who would've thought they'd have such interesting pastries at a pizzeria. I didn't get to try their pizzas yet, but will return for more. The ambiance was nice. The water station was really neat too. read more

The pizza is pricey for what you get. Not terrible but not the best Detroit style pizza around. Looks better than it is.

Tasty, a bit pricey for what you get but it IS San Fransisco. We went around 7:30pm on a Tuesday, no wait - easy to order and a reasonable wait time for food to arrive. The marinara sauce was delicious! Star drop for the price....being from a different state I still think everything in California is overpriced. read more

Not sure why this place does not have better reviews. The coffee is good and pastries are amazing

Delicious! So happy I stopped in. Coffee is good too. Super clean and family run! Support them!

When I walked in the music was way too loud. I kindly asked him to turn it down and he did. Exceptional customer service Personnel was very knowledgeable and kind Explained every pizza and it's ingredients (the display case glass is curved and pizza signage is too small to read). Was a tad confused about the crust, was it or was it not Foccaccia? Yes and no, they make their own crust and it works. Asked me how my pizza was and thanked me for coming Worked behind the counter the whole time, restocking, sorting, cleaning, refreshingly ambitious. Ticket # 46 No servers name on the receipt I will be back, just as soon as I finish this piece Pestorrific Chicken n' Ranch Appreciated the crusty edges and it was not smothered in Ranch. Place is immaculate Different kind of crust, like Foccacia but they make their own. Pizza was hot, plentiful, tons of toppings and half a pie enough for 2. Very nice presentation, looked just like the display case read more

I really wanted to try this place out.I love this union strip but it tasted just like it looked, like a display.

It's not often I'm 100% satisfied when it comes to pizza. Pizza is my absolute favorite food in the entire world. So much intentionality goes into the pizza. Every flavor was amazing. I ordered the bacon me crazy and every bite got better. This is the hype level equivalent of Jon n Vinnys- but better tasting food and AMAZING prices. Thank you so much for the sweet atmosphere-I was nervous and excited because I've never been here before but spent over a year dying to come here and it did not disappoint. This is where I spent my birthday and I would do it again every year. I highly recommend. They are also a coffee shop which is perfect as it's conveniently located near the financial district & provides lots of seating and quiet ambience for those looking to work or study. I hope this location absolutely thrives. read more

I work next door and wanted you to try this place out. Gotta say, this place did not disappoint. The modern, yet warm and welcoming decor, the up eat music, the gracious customer service, and the amazing pizza... this place is probably going to be a favorite lunch spot. On my first visit, I tried a personal size of their sausage and mushroom, and a personal size of the fig and ricotta. Holy crap, they were both SO GOOD! Today, I'm back for another personal size sausage and mushroom, and it's all still just as good as the first time. Definitely coming back. read more

Fragrant, mouth-watering, thick Detroit-style pizza. Generous gooey cheese with pepperoni strategically placed to ensure that each bite captures a well-proportioned mixture of each flavor. The sauce is savory, very slightly chunky w bits of tomato. Staff is very friendly, helpful and kind. What a wonderful addition to the Union Street neighborhood! read more

Came here specifically to try the pizza, because good pizza is few and far between in the Bay Area, but it didn't meet the mark for me. Upon walking in, it's hard to ignore the unusual interior aesthetic, it's like a 1950's diner meets an ikea. It didn't really look bad imo, but I can't argue that it looked good either. I don't usually review dining aesthetics, but it's hard to ignore this one. Not overly minimal like most places, but I'd say a little over the top. The centerpiece when walking in is the pizza display case. There were many beautiful pies, and I didn't know what to try. Unfortunately service was non existent on this day. My friend and I stood for about 3-5 minutes looking at the pizzas, and the clerk didn't bother to acknowledge as he stood in front of the cash register. It would have been nice to have some input on whats going on in the case and what's popular. After paying, we got self serve water and sat facing out the window because the busy neighborhood was more interesting than the busy interior, and our personal pizzas came out in about 10-15 minutes. The pizzas here are very aesthetically pleasing, and the cost is reasonable, but when it came to tasting the pizza, it felt like a bait and switch. Tbh I really love pizza so I'm somewhat snobby about it, but I'm still not too good for a Costco slice if that makes sense. The pizza here was not great pizza, it was not good pizza, I'd say it was okay pizza, but you can do much better for the price. I expected much better amidst the mirage going on around me. I can't say the amount of toppings were skimpy, they were fine (and I'll get back to that), but the slices were way too bready regardless of how much toppings and cheese you could pile on. In my pizza baking experience, I would say that the pizza was somewhat undercooked, it was very spongy and it lacked the flavor you get from a nicely golden crust. Though beautifully topped, the toppings didn't strike me as high quality ingredients, they were mid at best. If I was blindfolded and tasted what I ate, I would never guess it came from a place like this. It struck me as a chain type pizza place that could be in any random city in America. The cheese didn't have any distinct flavor that stood out and the pesto tasted cheap, because it was very salt and oil forward, lacking any basil taste whatsoever. My pizza was essentially a salty, oily bread sponge, but not in a good way. (It was the chicken pesto ranch slice btw.) It would have been nice if the server could have recommended something better than what I chose, but he was preoccupied. My friend got the other vegetarian pesto slice and felt pretty much the same way about the pesto and the breadyness. In conclusion, I could see some appeal to this place if you're going here to drink alcohol and need greasy bready pizza to soothe your stomach, but as someone sober it was pretty lousy pizza and wouldn't recommend coming here for just the pizza! read more
