    Orchard Pizza
    Neeketa S.

    This is an adorable wine shop, with a very cozy atmosphere for any occasion. I have to admit, I looked at this place a few times and COMPLETELY overlooked the fact that they had pizza. Outta Sight Pizza operates inside Fig & Thistle, and kinda feels like a secret only the locals know about! Outta Sight Pizza is the best NYC-style pizza I've had in downtown SF. The pizza is a big overpriced, but worth it. We ordered "The Orchard" and their rosemary cream honey sauce was indescribable. The waiter told us it won an award for its flavors. There are a few other snacks you can order, but the star of the show is pizza. Even if you're not interested in the alcohol...come for the pizza, you won't regret it.

    I'm updating my review SOLELY for the wine bar aspect of this place, not outta sight pizza, which remains one of my absolute favorite pizzas in the city. Unfortunately I've had a few poor experiences here since my first review. I've been here a total of 8-10 times now (we live about 10m walk and we love the pizza :)). Most of our bad experiences have had to do with takeout and the employees. We did come with a group of friends (total of 6 ppl) and they couldn't seat us for an hour. We then asked if we could order a few pizzas to go and they said no, or rather that it would take over an hour bc they prioritize in restaurant. While that sucks it does make sense, but they were super rude about it which i don't love. Again these are all fig and thistle wine bar employees. Last week we ordered take out (which we almost weren't able to get bc the restaurant was supposedly busy). I asked them to add Garlic to the vodka pizza (which they def have bc it's on half their pizzas). She told me she'd have to check with the kitchen. When i got there there was no garlic, the pizza was super duper cold (almost as if they don't even keep it warm On the oven or a warmer), and the dude was once again, hella rude. They also forgot my ranch but didn't realize til i got home, and that shit costs $3! And one last thing to keep in mind, they add a 20% gratuity... FOR TAKE OUT!!! I always always tip for takeout but they should not force you to tip 20% for takeout, and if so that better be going straight to the kitchen. Anyways, outta sight pizza is closing their pop up here this weekend so while I'll probably eat here all week, I'll probably never be back again after that. the wine bar offers absolutely nothing unique I'd come for. Very sad Outta Sight won't be down the street anymore but will have to check out their new location nearby.

    Overcooked crust. Didn't even bother eating it.

    Slow & mediocre service, coupled with underwhelming & overpriced food renders this place "to-avoid" on a casual night at best. This was my first time eating here and will probably be my last. The wait time to be seated outside wasn't an issue at all. However, the wait time for our pizzas to come was pretty unrealistic. I mean what are the cooks doing back there? Stomping the tomatoes in the back? Most likely they forgot it in the oven because the crust was burnt to a crisp. Not to mention that after the order was put in, which the staff was urging us to do every 2 minutes. They barely tended to us at all. And upon the request of some additional olive oil so that we can drizzle it on the pizza, the server declined because "Unfortunately, there is no way to ring it up." I am very sorry, but why would you even charge me for a little olive oil? Other establishments have never charged for such a small condiment. Maybe the waiter was just lazy. All this to say that the inflated prices here don't justify the quality of food and service at all. Hard pass!

    This is more of a review for the pizza popup "outta sight" that's operating out of fig & thistle! The bar itself was nice, with mellow vibes. I'd totally stop by and have a glass of wine sometime. Brought friends here after I heard about this pizza joint and it lived up to expectations! The pies were thin, NY style pizzas and were really well done. Light and airy but with tons of flavor and a good crisp on the bottom and crust. I believe the menu rotates from time to time with different pizza options but we got the Madonna, Ida, and Phoebe. The Ida was the crowd favorite - really unique pizza that was was reminiscent of elote. But all of them were dank, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. All the ingredients are super fresh and you can really taste it. One of the best slices I've had in the city!

    I actually visited them because it was featured on Killa Mike's show on VICE and I have no regrets. Literally THE BEST PIZZA in the Bay Area ! Now, I have had a lot of pizzas throughout my 27 years of living ... but Outta Sight Pizza blew my expectations out the water. I got the Orchard (my new favorite) and my spouse had the Phoebe- it may have been pricey but both were amazing and well worth the money! They also will be opening a restaurant that sells Pizza by the Slice next week - definitely go support. It is located at: 422 Larkin St San Francisco, CA 94102 United States I'll for sure be coming back soon.

    A little overpriced and stuffy, but good wine and bites. Not the most exciting place in the neighborhood but good for a weeknight drink. The wine is great and that's really the highlight, in addition to very healthy, if not heavy, pours. Despite that, it's still on the pricey side but not out of place in the neighborhood. Food menu is very limited and the cheese plate is good for 2 to 3 to share. Our waiter seemed grumpy and impatient but it's hard to blame him since he was playing vaccine bouncer, bartender, and waiter for the whole place alone. Not crowded on a weeknight so it wasn't too slow, but when it's busy on a weekend you should plan to linger a while. For better food and just as good wine there are other spots on the block, but it's a pleasant place to sit for a glass of wine. You can't beat the convenience to the adjacent dispensary of the same name located just around the corner.

    A great wine bar in Hayes Valley! The atmosphere is relaxed but energetic and there's a surprising amount of space! We showed up at 9 on a Wednesday (closes at 10) and there were no issues as far as us entering and ordering a glass. The kitchen was already closed but we expected that with showing up on the later end. There were QR codes readily available to browse the menu and the service was super quick + nice. A great variety of wines available without it being overwhelming (this is key as too many can cause decision paralysis!). I got the Sauv Blanc which I loved and would definitely get again. Great spot for a girls night or a date night! Can't wait to try the food next time.

    Pros: - good wine selection - fancy/modern/hipster aesthetic (if that's your thing) Cons: - very loud, which makes it hard to have real convos, which is often what I go to wine bars for vs "regular" bars - general lack of snacks They seem like really nice people running the joint. It's clean and we didn't have much trouble finding a seat. That said, I missed the conversation-oriented feel that I have come to associate with and appreciate about wine bars. If you want a glass of wine and something to make you feel like new money this is perfect.

    The way I am ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with this place now. I found this place by googling "Fun Wine Bars in Hayes Valley." This place did not let me down at all. Fig and Thistle was fun, an overall good vibe, and is charming too. I ordered 2 glasses, their orange wine, and their cheapest red. Both were so good, I really enjoy orange wine but cannot seem to find it everywhere I go. The red was on the drier side and was super enjoyable. Overall, their wine selection was fantastic and had everything I was looking for and more. I was expecting this to be just a good wine bar, but this was more than that. The food was fantastic too. We got two pizzas- the cheese one and the pepperoni one. Both were amazing, crunchy crust, flavorful sauce, and cheese, toppings but not too many. If you want to sip wine and get some fantastic food, look no further. Our server was great and brought everything timely. I have no complaints at all about this place. I will be returning without a doubt, and am going to bring more people.

    We popped in here on a Friday night bc a friend mentioned this was his go to date spot. Fig and thistle is such a cute wine bar - great outdoor and indoor seating. Must go for the happy hours!

    Really great service and vibe! The wine was wonderful but the star was the pizza. My friend and I opted for the tavern pizza and I was extremely glad we did because the crust was thin and crispy and the flavor combination was extremely delicious. It paired nicely with their red wines. Would definitely come back in the near future.

    This review is for the pizza, which I came here specifically for. Pizza was amazing, highly recommend, but in addition the atmosphere of the place is extremely nice and the staff are super friendly and nice as well.

Located in the legendary Mission District of San Francisco, this wine bar is a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy small bites and yummy crafted cocktails. Their decor is very chic and I especially loved all of the hardware, glasses, tables, and benches. This place was styled by a great design artist. Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware. Another great feature of this place is that you can buy most of the plants because they have some for sale so after a couple of cocktails, I was ready to redecorate my whole house with all the plants. I ordered a yummy Rose blend that was super crisp. Also enjoyed the Truffle Fungi! A delicious Shiitake and oyster mushrooms with parmesan and arugula on toasted bread. Their Spanish inspired potatoes were delicious with their dipping sauce. They have lots of gatherings there and DJ sets on the weekends. Lastly, a photographer would die to take pictures here. There is no bad shot as the design artist made sure every section of this cute wine bar was picture perfect. Loved all my photos and videos. I look forward to returning to this exquisite wine bar!

The high top tables were a bit wobbly, so we spilled half a drink on there. The drinks are strong. I recommend going upstairs to sit instead if you want to hear your friends better. The tables are bigger up there too. The rooftop was closed off but I'd like to check it out sometime.

The marinated artichokes were good, not amazing, but a large portion and pleasant enough. I wish they had more veggies or a salad option. The seats are not comfortable, this is not a place to come and relax with a book. The parklet seating is nicely sheltered from the breeze, but can be noisy. The music, outdoor setting, and service are all good. Flatbread was lovely and soft when hot, hardens to a crispy cracker when it cools. The Woody's sparkling N.A. rosé was a bit flat (flavor wise).

Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese.

Yes, the wine is excellent..(not selling you 'natural' actively fermenting bottles) thoughtfully curated... the cab franc , interesting without being pretentious.

Everyone who works here is warm, funny, and present in a way that makes you feel like you belong, whether it's your first visit or your 50th. Live jazz nights here are their own kind of therapy. I once saw a harpist who made me feel like I was floating inside the music. No cover, no pressure, just ridiculously good musicians making the whole place glow. One thing I love: the rotating local art. The walls change every so often as new artists take over, and it completely shifts the energy of the space. You might not love every piece, but that's kind of the point--it's alive, it's personal, and it's supporting real artists in SF. And if you do love something, you can take it home (yep, everything's for sale). Whether you're here for the jazz, the wine, the art, or the people.. waystone shows up with soul. I'd give it six stars if I could.
