    Cute logo but I won't be back
    Vivian H.

    I know my pizzas as I grew up eating pizza on the East Coast and also ate my way thru a lot NYC pizzas all through my late 20s and 30s, so when I tell you a slice is good or bad, its from years of eating some of the best pizzas in the US. This place failed me on so many levels and I absolutely hate writing bad reviews but this place just did not live up to even a random $1.50 slice you can find anywhere in NYC. After having a snack of raw oysters nearby, I wanted a nice hearty slice of pizza and when Yelp pulled this place up for me, I was quite excited. A girlfriend of mine introduced me to some really good Detroit style pizza, so I was looking forward to trying this place out. I came in a little after 7:30pm and nary a soul in here, which should have been a sign. The woman who rung me up was nice but it was clear she couldn't understand much English, so when I needed a paper copy of my receipt, she had to call in another worker for help. I waited about 15 min for my order and then it was ready. I took it back to the hotel I was staying at and was ready to enjoy a good slice. Unfortunately, it wasnt very good. Besides the looks of the pizza, nothing else really passed. The toppings had no flavor, crust was also bland. The personal pan was super soggy, which is exactly how I HATE my pizzas. And for the price, which was close to $20 with tax and tip, it was just lousy. A pie this size shouldn't be more than $10, and also the taste just wasn't there. Needless to say, I won't be back. They get two stars because the lady helping me was nice and did her best to help me despite our language barriers.

    After a music event and hours of dancing; my friend and I were famished. We decided to get some of the well-deserved pizza and to my ecstatic surprise they offered a lot of vegan options; including imitation meats. I ordered the "eat your veggies" pizza - personal size. It was ready very quickly and it was delicious. I would like to go back again soon and different one. They also have alcoholic beverages, sides and desserts. CC accepted Bathroom available. Outside and indoor seats.

    Great pizza. I got the buffalo pizza and it was deep dish. I really liked the crust and sauce ratio. The one thing I will say is the buffalo has a ton of buffalo sauce, so be ready for a kick of flavor because I didn't expect it to be drenched the way it was, but it was really good and I would definitely get the pizza again. This location is right by the Ferry Building, so it's an amazing place to grab some pizza, sit outside, and watch the water. Great location, great pizza, punchy flavors, and super friendly staff.

    Finally got to try this place! Lots of locations. Went by for their happy hour $5 deals! Got the pep slice, wings, and garlic knots! Definitely worth it! Loved the thick pepperonis, garlic knots were garlicky, and wings were great with the buffalo sauce, nice kick of spice. We loved the ranch too! Great portion sauces. Definitely would come back! Service was kind and welcoming. Place is nice nearby the water. Plenty of seating.

    Stopped by during my lunch hour because I was really craving pizza and I've walked by here so many times that it was about time I try this spot. Casual ambiance with lots of indoor and scenic outdoor seating and very friendly service! I definitely came at the right time because there was no wait so my order came out fast. I tried the sausage and shrooms personal pizza, which was two slices. The pizza had a lot going for it: crust was crispy and the sauce was flavorful. Overall, it was definitely tasty and satisfying. But I had a hard time justifying the price. It was $16 + tax (~$18) for two medium-ish slices, which felt a bit steep for what I received. While the quality was there, I was expecting something more unique or standout in terms of flavor at that price. The portion size was also a little smaller than I had hoped. It's solid pizza overall but for me, the value unfortunately didn't quite match the cost.

    Came here after the lunch rush, 1:45 pm. We ordered 2 of their lunch specials, a Caesar salad with chicken, one combo personal pizza, and some drinks. There was a misunderstanding on what we ordered, so when we got our food I didn't get a chance to snap a photo. The salad was ok, I wouldn't order it again. Their pizza was really good though, especially the combo. We paid $90 for 4 people, seemed a bit steep for the food we got. This was within walking distance of where we were at so it was convenient. But I don't think I'd come back again with so many other places to choose from at the Ferry Building.

    Gross. There was a fly buzzing around in Pizza case. I pointed out that maybe they wanted to let it out they're like no it's fine. It's fresh. Language barrier or ?????? Then, picking up mats on the floor with their hands, then touching the cheese they grate on the pizza without washing/changing gloves.

    Well on a recent trip to SF,I found myself with some time to kill before my event started,after coming down from Sacramento and skipping breakfast,I was ready to eat when I got to the Ferry Building area.After looking around a bit,I saw a few of my favorite spots at the Ferry Building but I also saw a new spot,at least for me and I had to try it-I walked over to JoyRide Pizza to give them a try. No car to speak of on this trip,so parking not an issue but for others who do drive,this location is not for people in cars,this is for people who are walking up and down the piers as a walk in spot. I took a look at the menu and since there were 3 of us I decided to go with a large Meatzza($29.00) and a small Supreme($16.00)This place features Detroit-Style Pizza,so even though 2 of us in the party are pretty big eaters,this style pizza truly goes a long way,it's so dense and heavy. So when the pizza arrived I quickly realized mistakes were made,this was way too much pizza for us and since we had no means to bring it with us because the event we were going to had a "No Food" policy,I thought we're in trouble.Also I realized our 2 pizzas were very similar and with all the great options available to order,I should've had a bit more creativity when ordering. That being said-that pizza was dynamite-they have damn near perfected the Detroit-Style pizza recipe right here at this spot located in one of the most touristy spots in the city-that's rare,most of these spots located in touristy spots just mail it in because they know the customers are coming regardless,but not these guys,their product is pretty top notch-the flavors,the cheese,the seasonings,the sauce-they didn't miss a box,checked em all.I was highly impressed. I've always had a favorite pizza spot in SF,one I visit just about every visit,the thing is though my favorite spot is not convenient,it's located way out of the ways,this JoyRide pizza is so much more convenient and a pretty high level,I think I may have found my new spot for a pizza fix whenever I'm visiting the city. I forgot to mention we did get a beer with our meals-I got their IPA($9) and my brother got a pilsner($9)-They were a good enough partner to go with our heavy meal. In closing,if u find yourself near the Ferry Building in SF and want to try some really good Detroit-Style pizza,I would say give these guys a try-they are pretty good. PS-One last thing-I noticed while walking around the city later on that they have multiple locations-I can't really vouch for their other locations,but I can for sure recommend the Ferry Building spot-Be Kind out there...

    Ordered the "eat your veggies" with vegan pepperoni

    One of the best Detroit style pizzas I've tasted in the Bay Area hands down. I was walking around looking for a place to eat and this place really stood out. That said, ordered the "eat your veggies" from their menu and added vegan pepperoni. A little on the pricy side especially for the sizes they serve it in. But other than that, an amazing stop for sure! Service was amazing and the ambience was photo worthy! Enjoy their pizzas while you're at the Bay Area

    Wow! This place has one of the best pizza sauce I've had in a while. Ordered the supreme along with the sausage and shrooms pizza (added ricotta). It did take a while for the food to come out but it was well worth the wait. The sauce is savory and flavorful, you can really taste the quality of each topping. Overall a 10/10 for deep dishes and I'm not usually a deep dish fan but I'd come back and order this again.

    First time here. Was hungry after getting off of the ferry and the lines inside the ferry building were backed up. We walked a short distance and came across Joyride pizza. Prices were decent, especially for a touristy part of town. Got the personal size cheese pizza and it was delicious! A bit of a wait, but well worth it!

    We came at 11 on a Saturday and since it's before lunch rush, it was not busy. We were excited to get some fluffy Detroit style pizza and the selection looked great. We are two adults and a toddler so decided on one large pizza and some garlic knits. Good did not disappoint - pizza was delicious and garlic knots hit the spot. The marinara sauce was delicious as pointed out by other reviews. Pricing is a bit high but we are right next to the ferry building so not a surprise there. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we would come back. By the time we left, the place picked up and lots of diners around.

    Stumbled upon this shop while on Embarcadero. It's a cute small restaurant with pizza, drinks and ice cream for dessert. The spritz was a great refreshing drink. Tried the Classic Cheese Pizza. Personally, I loved it! It is on the pricey side for a deep dish but it is fresh. The dough was so soft and had a good amount of cheese! The service was also very kind. Helped us decide drinks. I will definitely be returning!

    This isn't just the best pizza in San Francisco, it's my favorite pizza in the country. The owner is a saint. Straight up addicted.

    Had an impromptu birthday dinner with some friends here…read more The seating outside was great for six people, and the service was fabulous. Especially given that we were bringing in our own birthday cake to have and share among our friends that night. We got five different pizzas, and the four-cheese one was the fan favorite between us all. Definitely would recommend either a date night here or a night out with friends if you're in the area.

    We visited Il Casaro Pizzeria on a Saturday evening and were seated quickly after joining the…read morewaitlist, which we appreciated after a long day with tired, hungry kids. Service was generally polite but a bit sparse given how busy it was. I specifically asked whether the kids' pizzas were small personal sizes or large enough to share, and was told they were personal-sized. Unfortunately, we ended up with more food than we could realistically finish and essentially paid for a pizza that went to waste, which was frustrating. The food itself didn't quite meet expectations based on the reviews. One of our pizzas also came out slightly undercooked, but the kids were too tired for us to send it back and wait for a remake, so we just made do. Overall, the experience was just okay, especially compared to other pizza spots we tried during our trip. After visiting places like Tony's, which we loved, this one fell short for us. The restaurant was busy and had a decent energy, and others may have a better experience depending on timing. For us, though, it's not a place we'd return to.
