The family and I went to Haystacks -- a place I've been visiting for over 40 years. The pizza is fantastic, and every entrée is always delicious. You can never go wrong there. We were there recently and had Ryan as our waiter. He was courteous, professional, and took great care of us. We left with happy tummies. Ryan, please say hello to George and the rest of the gang for us. The Ultimate Pie ingredients; Feta, Dbl Cheese, Garlic, Pepperoni, Sausage and Salmi. Deeeelicious!

In the back/event room of Haystack's, I hosted a birthday party for my daughter with a total of 12 teen girls. It was fantastic, fun and memorable! I highly recommend Haystack's Pizza especially for an event. Service - Throughout the event, Ryan and Tina went out of their way to accommodate us. It really made the party very special. They are just really kind and friendly people. Atmosphere - Haystacks has a genuine and comfy feel to it. It is not trying to be hip, cool or fancy. Sometimes just being in a space with character (and not just white walls and soft colored wood) plus a down to earth feel, feels nice. The back room feels like your in a New York Little Italy restaurant with one of those pretty murals on the wall. We pushed tables together so that all the girls could face one another in a "circle" arrangement. It really worked out well. I also brought some of my own decorations that upleveled it. Pizza - We ordered 3 regular cheese Haystack pizza's (14 slices each) with some bread and a salad (for adults). The pizza sauce was yummy. Only 4 pieces of pizza were left! Everyone enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back.

I think it's been 20 years since the last time i was here so i thought i would come and get a pizza with my cousin before he took me home. well i was disappointed in the service the old man that served me was rude as fuck rushing me to order a pizza and he was very grump. Then when the pizza came they changed the sauce because it was too sweet it was horrible i love all the toppings but i only ate two pieces and i gave one to my cousin and he thought the samething and it was too sweet. I used to come here as an teenager because i knew the family and i went to school with the Son. But i think they changed not sure if it's by the same family different generation? But they need to get a different cook because that pizza sauce if it's the same for the spaghetti it's horrible and i definitely will never come back I'd rather go to Domino's and get a $8 Pizza instead of spending 20 bucks. LOL The restaurant did an upgrade so it was really nice and they have a lot of different beers and wine. So if you like a quiet place come here and you like sweet sauce then you will like it if not don't bother. Thanks for reading my review. ~Lizzie~ :)

Lost me as a customer. I use to love this place....not sure what the deal is now'. The wings and fried I ordered were inedible. Old overcooked pieces of meat. Not even wings just pieces of broken bones. The garlic fried has zero garlic, soaked in oil. Just wasted my $. Very disappointing complete rip off. Do better for your customers that are trying to support a neighborhood business.

I have been going to Haystack for over 30 years and was so disappointed in my personal size Alberto Classico pizza 20% smaller and 14.00 I don't care that you raise the price but shrinking the size of the pizza is insulting I did'nt realize till I got home what a disappointment and soggy. won't return

Just had a great meal today. Our waiter Ryan suggested I add the photo from just over 3 years ago of my proposal to my lady Aurora. So here it is. Thanks for the wonderful food and hospitality.

I actually look forward to eating these as opposed to the somewhat bland other delivery services I've tried. I don't understand the bad reviews-- the app is much more user-friendly so try that. I have had no problems with availability, adding or changing items to my order, and the freshness. For people saying "unclear billing" they have a Charges tab that shows exactly what you're being billed for delineated by item... Other than the plastic waste (comes with the territory) I honestly have no qualms, I will be continuing with them for awhile! My new fav delivery service.

I signed up for Thistle accidentally while comparing meal plans. I loved Daily Harvest back when…read morethey offered more than smoothies and was hoping for something similar. The food was decent, but the packaging was a dealbreaker. Every single item comes in a non-reusable plastic container. Even setting aside environmental concerns, the sheer volume of waste was unmanageable: my garbage goes out every other week and was already full. The cost also didn't pencil out. Even with the discount, Thistle ran more than what I currently spend eating out for the same number of meals, and it didn't reduce my grocery bill either.

There was a SHARD OF PLASTIC IN THIS one! Hard to see but it was sharp and would have been so bad if swallowed.

It was a literal dark and stormy night so between squalls I geared up and headed down Guerrero…read moretoward 17th Street and swung down to Valencia for another perfect simple dining experience at Bao. I walked into the restaurant about 45 minutes before closing time at 9:30 PM and several other diners came in after I was seated. The unsettled weather made the people hungry for dumplings. Bao is warm and woody and serene on the inside, a great counterpoint to the bustle of Valencia at every hour. Upon entering there is a large window looking on to the kitchen prep area where culinary experts are often at work constructing the food diners later enjoy on their plates. Tonight a couple of wizards were in the process of making chicken potstickers. Even being vegetarian, just seeing how the dumplings and other items are made is like seeing secrets being shared. I love it and it sets the vibe for the restaurant. My order consisted of the steamed vegetarian buns and sautéed string beans. The buns come out beautifully presented and taste even better: the bun itself is just slightly sweet and that sweetness adds an amazing dimension to the chopped fresh vegetables inside. Can't tell you what any of these veggies are individually and I don't care, they are so good. Next came the sautéed string beans and the sear on the beans themselves was perfect and smoky and delicious. The crispness of the sautee makes the string beans a lovely pairing with the soft yummy of the steamed buns. Last came the sesame balls as a sweet meal ending. I love donuts and fresh-made sesame balls are similar to a donut hole just with a filling that is actually food and so sweetly tasty. The outer fry was crisp and the insides absolutely perfect. Three dishes, all fantastic, and I walk home happy and thankful to Bao for a great simple meal!

Pretty good - Sichuan Xiao Long Bao and Shanghai Xiao Long Bao: must-get! - shiu mai and har gow: my must-gets at any dumpling/dim sum place. Interior is polished and clean.

Having this in the fridge has saved me from food craze on some days. Very convenient to have food ready to eat. Some things like breakfast are better heated in the stove but the other dishes are microwaved in minutes. I've had a few chicken dishes and they've had some nice seasoning and included dipping sauce. The chicken has been tender and seems like maybe marinated. I've picked up their brownies and considering they're made of protein ingredients, they're tasty. The parking situation is kinda weird so better to park around the corner. Looking forward to trying new dishes!

Seems like they post their weekly menus on their website, so you can kind of get a sense of what type of meals you might get. So if you're looking to get a better sense of what may be in your 'bag', then I recommend looking there first! Pickup was quick. Someone noticed me standing by the door and after letting them know I was there to pick up a Too Good to Go order, he got my boxes really quickly. The meal I ended up getting was a turkley bolognese pasta with some steamed broccoli. Very simplistic dish that tasty alright. For this specific meal, I'm not sure I would so inclined to pay full price for the meal prep since it is cheaper and very easy to make this at home. That said, I can see the appeal for those who are just too busy overall and want fast, healthy meals without having to cook. Overall, glad to have tried another local establishment. Would recommend trying this on 2G2G first if you're not sure you'll like the food.

When I came back to them a couple years later, the price point had gone up & I was priced out.) The portion sizes were large. I think it was like $12-13/meal. 99% of the dishes were delicious.

I am not vegan but this hits the spot and is the best meal service I have found. The food is still amazing and I'm happy to see the meal options have expanded, there's seasonal produce options and Acme bread, and now they post calorie information. They have family style option to get a bigger portion for those who have a family, or for me, to bring to a pot luck. They also have individual desserts and full size pies/cakes. Seriously - they have everything. They no longer offer wine for those who care. There are some additional pick up options, too, but I stick with Jack London Square on Wednesdays from 11:30-2:00. Pro tip: get the cookie dough!!!!! And the chili. And the breakfast burritos. And the bake at home pizza ........ $20 credit Referral code: QWC3D2MJ
