    When you find a restaurant called pie punks, of course it's a must to try it. The overall vibe the restaurant is super cool, and everyone that works there is really nice. The food on the other hand is mediocre at best. Pizza is no longer that go to quick inexpensive meal, but it should be good, if not amazing. This experience was none of that. The crust on the pizza was very rubbery and tasted like paste. The toppings were just as bad. The pizza sauce tasted like something that had been poured out of a can, and the toppings did not scream fresh and delicious. The combination of everything together was just not good. Add the price tag, and it's a hard no moving forward. It's not a place I plan on going back to, and there are so many better places in the San Francisco area that have much better Pizza! Three stars are because the staff is super friendly, and they really create the vibe.

    Pepperoni pizza at the bar

    I visited Pie Punks solo on a Tuesday evening during the World Cup in late June. I didn't know it when I walked in, but the owners/folks working there were very much Mexico fans and they were excited for the match. I sat at the bar and ordered the arugula salad and a pepperoni pizza. Everything was delicious. I ate it all even though I could have sworn I wasn't that hungry when I walked in! The atmosphere was fun and the staff charming. Recommended for a good local spot.

    Martini + Fredo slice

    Great vibes for late dinner with a moody atmosphere and attentive staff ! Just grabbed some slices to-go for a quick lunch--satisfied my pizza cravings. Got a Martini slice with tangy olives (added sausage) and a Fredo slice (I believe I added chilis). Prob fresher--and warmer--if I dined in. Loved the Cinis though--little, savory bites of mushroom risotto !

    Classic Grandma

    Amazing food and quick service. The best grandma pizza. Their crust is better than any grandma I've ever had. The lasagna was pretty good too. Most importantly, the service was quick and really friendly, which is important when you're near Ballpark. Make sure you come here when you go to Oracle or Chase. Make sure you order the grandma. They have a full bar and some good appetizer, salads and entrées as well like lasagna. Not a huge menu so easy to make a decision.

    Pizza was absolutely delicious and satisfying. Sat at the bar and had some good conversation with the other guests and the bartender. Also caught the end of a giants game which was playing on old school fuzzy TVs, super nostalgic.

    Came here with a group of 6 and was seated immediately! Good: - Pizza was delicious, I liked the sausage grandma the best - the pizza tasted healthier than other pizzas I've had, not too oily - Great portion sizes! We had so much pizza leftover and it was good value Bad: - The place was a bit dim - Detroit pizza was smaller for the price Overall this was so much fun and loved the pizza it was quite tasty

    Oh My God. That was one of the most delicious slices i've ever had. Maybe because it was crisp and crunchy. Or that it has the right amount of sauce. It has a lot of flavor for being very simple. It's my first time here and after my meal, I felt like I should've gotten more slices or maybe an entire pie. I would definitely recommend coming out to try this place for the atmosphere, staff and good pizza

    broccolini
    Justin H.

    Came here during happy hour (weekdays 4-6pm) for a small outing with coworkers. I had high expectations because it's quite popular with friends and i was not disappointed. it was very spacious and they were prepped with more seats because of downtown first thursdays. we ordered the broccolini's to start and they are definitely worth trying. good chrisp and just a little something healthy before you dig into some pizza. Our server recommended doing half pepperoni and half mauros molto meat on a grandmas style pizza. We liked the pepperoni but we really enjoyed the mauros molto meat we ended up ordering more of it. Overall, it's a very vibey spot with very value happy hour deals. i think it's a fantastic spot for a casual dinner with friends in the soma area!

    Very exceptional! Everything delicious and I can't express enough how kind all the workers were and how they took good care of us. The vibes were great especially with the music and the world cup going.

    Fredo Grandma
    Amanda D.

    This was some of the best pizza I've had in a while. Make sure to get the grandma style. I opted for the Fredo (white sauce) and a Classic (red sauce) both incredible! It's a smaller space, that's a bit dark and loud but a vibe. Seating can take some time, especially if there is a line but the staff are friendly and as helpful as they can be when busy. They have slice options as well as full pizza options. Happy hour from 4-6pm PST. Definitely worth checking out if in the area! Good prices too. Two slices filled me up. Each slice was ~$5 so makes for a decently cheap eat that also tastes really good.

    Sausage Slice, Fredo Slice
    Emily L.

    Good late night spot for drinks and pizza. Super cute and intimate vibes as well. I ordered the fredo slice and it was good! It wasn't the most flavorful, but it hit the spot. Definitely would want to try the other slices and the detroit style.

    Pepperoni Grandma

    So much potential. The crust was deliciously crispy, but rather bland. The pepperoni was absolutely delicious, but there was 0 sauce! The cheese was non existent. So much potential for this pizza, but unfortunately it was not the full picture.

    Quite a few places serve Detroit style pan pizza in the Downtown San Francisco area, so had a few choices. Pie Punks was the closest one walkable from our hotel, with a really good online rating. Like a lot of really popular pizza joints, it's mainly a bar atmosphere with a bar menu centered on pizza. I found the finished pizza to have an incredible crust, but a bit small with stingy toppings and burnt cheese/oil to make parts of it unpleasant. Happy Hour runs between 4 and 6 pm everyday, with some dollars off for drinks and pies. We came early enough to have choice of tables, with the place being packed by the time we left. There is table service provided by the double duty bartenders, and they were admirably able to keep up even with a full house, not forgetting any requests made verbally. Happy hour usually means my wife and I will try a first-time drink. She got the Goldfinger cocktail ($14 minus $2 for HH), and it was very strong. It was the first time I've tried a cocktail with popping boba (in this case, lychee flavor), and it was a really good addition. There were two draft beers we hadn't tried, Ghost Town Lager and Pranqster Golden Ale ($9 minus $1 for HH), so got the latter. Forgot that Golden Ale is hoppy, so ended up finishing it by myself (my wife won't drink hoppy beer). As for the main event, it came out pretty fast (under 15 minutes) once we ordered it. It was a Pepperoni Detroit ($23 minus $3 for HH), and the crust was fluffy, not too thick and very crunchy on the outside. The edges of the cheese had been cooked well, but beyond crunchy caramelization to make the corners really burnt (I like the corners of a Detroit, but this was too burnt even for me). I think the 10x8 pizza could be finished by one really hungry person...and a good amount for two. There is a 2% surcharge for using credit cards, and payment can be handled at the table, using Toast. For once, we didn't have leftovers so were quickly on our way.

Arrived on time for our reservation but were held in a waiting room for about 30 min before we could start.

Friendly, great banter, helpful throughout the escape. The escape game is split across multiple rooms with a good diversity of puzzles. Don't want to spoil too much here but they were good challenges. Drinks we incorporated throughout and presented like test tubes that were drinkable in a gulp, kind of like a cocktail shot. Personally, I found the first two drinks to be a bit too sweet, but I liked the third, which was coconut forward. The price is definitely a bit more costly. It was $100/person for a party of five. I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

The price is a little high so be prepared. i'd still come back to try other dishes because the food and service was excellent.

    I have been wanting to try Shoji for a while now, but haven't had a chance to as the buzz when they…read morefirst opened was crazy with long lines. I finally got to try it and walked in on a Saturday right at opening for a party of 2. We waited probably about 15 minutes and were sat in the back patio. The interior space was beautifully done and looked very elevated. The back patio also looked nice, but definitely gave off a different vibe. The service was great, no complaints there. Everybody was super nice and attentive. The food also came out fairly quickly. What we ordered: - Donburi ($53) - 5/5 - Pork Jowl ($28) - 4/5 - Akazu Fries ($10) - 3/5 - NA Cold noodle mocktail ($18) - 4/5 - NA Dashi Apple mocktail ($15) - 5/5 - Shoji Burger ($28) - 4/5 - Ceviche ($25) - 4/5 Total after tax/tip - $236.50 Objectively, the food and drinks were pretty good. Our favorites were the donburi (of course) and the dashi apple mocktail. Some cons: - how expensive it was for the amount of food. Some reviews mentioned the donburi was tiny (which it was) - no bigger than my hand. - Almost all the dishes we got were finger foods but kind of hard to eat. The ceviche with the nori chips would fall apart. The dark nori seasoning got all over our hands and was difficult to get off with just the cloth napkin. The shoji burger was covered in cheese which we assumed was finger food since they didn't offer any knives. The donburi was filled to the top in this bowl which was small so you have to be very careful scooping out. In addition, the seasoning from the seaweed was a bit oily as well. Maybe offering a wet wipe or napkin at the end of the meal would be a nice touch. I guess it was a bit confusing given the elevated / upscale vibe it was giving off but could improve in the small details. Not sure if I can say I recommend or not but would be willing to give it another chance. Perhaps try the experience inside instead.
