    Swirl: vanilla & salted caramel

    The pizza was delicious. We came on a busy Saturday after visiting the Exploratorium. Not much seating inside, but the weather was really nice and they have a few outdoor tables/ the ice cream was very very good. I would give it an 8.5 overall.

    Mmm try something new, pizza surprise box!

    You know Joyride Pizza has to be really good when you commit to bouncing from one location to another to add wings to your pizza order. Yeah, their wings are really great: Savory, fatty and pillowy especially when you drizzle hot honey over them. We picked up our "Too Good To Go" surprise pizza on Valencia (hello beautiful "Garden Goddess" with pesto, arugula, ricotta, red onion and tiny tomatoes) and wanted to add 18 chicken wings to our order. Somehow DoorDash cancelled it out. No matter, I stopped into the Union Street store on the way back from dropping off Finn at Letterman pool- and Joyride on Union was out of wings! If these wings weren't so good I would've never crossed town again- in Friday night traffic no less - but I did. It was worth it. Shout out to Valencia Street manager Nelson and Autumn on Joyride Union Street who personally placed our order- thank you!

    Build your own pizza with pepperoni and black olives

    Detroit-style pizza in SF. Thick pan pizza cut into rectangles with crispy edges and sauce over the cheese. Our build your own pizza had small smattering of pepperoni slices and black olives ($28 in 2025). I wasn't a big fan of the tomato sauce, but my friend loved it. The side order of the tater tots were marketed as kinda fancy with garlic gremolata, but they tasted very similar to regular tots ($8 in 2025). We ordered to go and picked it up. Really nice location inside and I had an nice interaction with the person behind the counter.

    Delivery was prompt but Food was really bad. Yolo Roni Detroit style pizza undercooked. Cinnamon knots undercooked. Arugula salad blue cheese spoiled. Even canned limonata sodas were warm. Gonna be sick tonight. Don't bother with this place!

    Cheese pizza

    Really really delicious slice! Like everything else, expensive, but heated up and sauce put on top after that. We went 2 nights in a row.

    I wish I knew about this place sooner - I love the pizza sizes they offer, as well as the airy dough. My sister & I got the pepperoni and pizza bianca. Needless to say, both were delicious, with thick cuts of pepperoni, sweet cheese for the bianca & the delicious dough! My only suggestion is to add more indoor seating as it tends to be windy outside. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!

    Great place to visit after visiting the MOMA the food was delicious and the seating was nice especially with infants in our group. The prices were moderate and we will enjoy coming back again. Great location.

    Ok but didn't live expectations. Friends have told me that this is the place to go for pizza. But after visiting and trying some, it's good but over-hyped. Good options and value is ok. I would go again if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way.

    If you like Detroit style pizza then I'd check this place out for sure. They have many different ones to choose from, and you can order a personal or large size. The restaurant is super small, but they have two tables outside that you can sit on. You order through the large tablets set by the counter and you don't speak with anyone until they call your order out. The only thing I didn't like was that they put two different pizzas in the same box, which we didn't ask for. They made up for it by having great tasting pizza though. It was hard for me to choose which one I wanted to try.

    Despite the hefty price tag and the language barrier between us and the person taking our order this place offered up a legit tasty Detroit style pizza, and cold refreshing beers that hit the spot for us. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the view on this lovely day. If you are already on the Embarcadero and in the mood for pizza I'd definitely give this spot a try, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

    A delicious square pie! The cheese-covered crust was a standout. I ordered it for pickup, and it was ready in under 5 minutes (super quick). The flavor was fantastic, and the marinara on top added an extra layer of tastiness. The dough was soft and satisfyingly doughy. Highly recommend! The place has a fast-casual vibe that works well.

    If you enjoy your pizza THICK, this is the place for you! I just got a slice of pepperoni but it filled me up due to the thickness of the dough. It's a square pizza so the crust around it is covered with cheese. You order from a kiosk and don't get much interaction with the employees. I know sometimes they have happy hour where some of the orders are half off which I think it's a great deal!

    This crappy pizza was almost $40 with their suggested tip. Also this is a full pizza the largest you can order. About the size of my hand.

    Ask the Community - Joyride Pizza

    Can you do the crust Gluten free AND Dairy free at the same time?

    Our gluten free crust is made with buttermilk powder. So, it’s not 100% dairy free. If that’s okay, we can ALSO make it with dairy free cheese, so it’s about 99.5% dairy free.

    How big is the pizza?

    A slice is about 4x6. 2 is enough for an adult.

    Is this place pet friendly?

    Yes, there's a bench right outside the door, plus more seating near the road.

    Do they have any samovar tea drinks?

    Samovar drinks are available from samovartea.com.

    Is this place still open? Went by here last Tuesday around noon and they had sign outside saying they're "temporary closed to fix some issues". There Wasn't any date or time of when they would be back open

    I saw it re/opened yesterday aug 11. Good luck!

I came with a group of 7, and they were able to seat us pretty quickly. We ordered: A whole rotisserie chicken, the RTR Rice Bowl, the Chicken soup, the fried chicken sandwich, the seared broccoli, the rotisserie fat rice, and the shredded cabbage & almond. Best Dishes: The Rotisserie chicken and the Shredded cabbage & almond. The rotisserie chicken skin is really crispy and delicious, we were all fighting over who gets to eat the skin. The chicken is so juicy, it's really the best rotisserie chicken I've had. We understand why this place is so well regarded. The shredded cabbage is definitely the best side and we should've gotten another order, as we quickly finished ours and were basically licking the bowl clean. Worst: The rotisserie fat rice and the chicken soup. The rice was basically untouched and none of us wanted to eat it. It's ok, just falls short compared to the other sides. The soup was also ok, it's just a huge bowl and it felt like a waste stuffing ourselves with that when there were other better dishes. The rice bowl was pretty good, and is really good value. It's yummy and a good meal for 12.50. It's a very casual place, you order at the cashier and find a table and seat yourself there. Great for a quick lunch.

If you're craving something refreshing, light, and fruity, the Sonoma is a must. The pears take it to the next level and give it that perfect sweet, crisp bite that makes every forkful feel extra refreshing. It's the kind of bowl you order when you want to feel bright and satisfied. Now if you're in the mood for something warm, crunchy, and nutty, the Bangkok Bowl is your girl. The texture, the richness, the cozy vibes -- chef's kiss. It's hearty without being heavy and hits all the comfort-food notes. And can we talk about portions?! These bowls are NO joke. I swear I made a huge dent in mine, looked down thinking I was almost done... only to realize I basically still had a whole second meal left. Instant take-home win. On top of all that, the staff is super friendly, the space is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels good from start to finish. I came for the seasonal menu but I'll definitely be back for everything else too. If you're debating what to order: Sonoma for fresh + fruity, Bangkok for warm + crunchy -- you truly can't go wrong!

This is the salad we wish we could have everyday. The main part of the restaurant is your standard table and booth situation, but off to the side is a darker, cozier arrangement of plush chairs and couches. The tables are a bit low and awkward to eat at, but the ambiance is immaculate. You can even get beer and wine here to complete the vibe. I will always love a MIXT salad. The ingredients are fresh, well-prepared, and fairly portioned. You can eat well and healthily and it's not unreasonably priced. I still mourn the loss of the green Goddess dressing... But I'll keep coming back regardless. It's that good.
