Our family tried Joyride Pizza while having drinks next door at The Lark. The Lark's kitchen had already closed by the time we arrived, so we were happy that Joyride Pizza was still open and serving food. It was our first time trying Detroit-style pizza, and overall, it was really good. I especially liked the thick, crispy crust, although I personally wasn't a big fan of the red sauce on top. Since it was my first time ordering this style of pizza, I didn't realize I could have requested it without the sauce. That was simply my personal preference and not a reflection of the pizza's quality. We also ordered the wings and tater tots, which we enjoyed as late-night snacks with our drinks. It's a small place, but it was full and had a lively atmosphere. Some customers were enjoying their pizza with a beer, while others were stopping by to grab a pizza to go. Joyride Pizza was a convenient and tasty late-night option, especially when many nearby kitchens were already closed. I can see why it stays busy! read more

Stopped by Joyride Pizza for dinner in the Mission. They specialize in Detroit style pizza with that signature crispy, caramelized cheese edge and a light, airy focaccia style crust underneath. - Garden Goddess: arugula, pesto, and whipped ricotta dollops with a touch of calabrian chili; such a great veggie and cheese combo, easily my favorite of the night. - Sweetheat Pineapple: pineapple, peppers, and jalapeño for a sweet and spicy combo that actually works really well together - Yolo'Roni Pepperoni: classic cupped pepperoni with crispy charred edges, simple & done right Inside ambience is pretty small, with just a few seats and tables, plus an outdoor patio for extra space. Mostly a grab-and-go spot. Service was super friendly and our pizza came out fresh and hot. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill pizza spot! Will be back Joyride! read more

With Round Table Pizza running around $30 per pie, I'd rather go here for the quality and crust. My go to is the plain old pepperoni and whatever you want to throw on it. There's no place to eat here. It's literally a grab and go spot, but be warned parking is super difficult. Thick and fluffy crust, decent sauce, and quality toppings. This is your thick crust bread pizza thay will fill you up with four slices or less! read more

Love this place and their quick service. It's a solid choice for a fast casual eat. Seating is limited inside and there's a little outdoor seating area but it's close to the road. I recommend just doing take-out. My favorite is the green goddess and the combo! All the flavors I've tried tho are distinct and delicious. The texture of the crust is great. The only thing is that the price can be a little high for what you get. I think they have $5 deals now though which would be a great option. They also have an happy hour from 2-3pm. read more

The pizza is seriously amazing. Really great combinations and stacked to the top with a variety of veggies and meats. I got the Green Goddess with Pepperoni and Sausage for around $25- it comes with two slices and I was full after just one. The arugula and pesto in this is so refreshing, and the cheese is light and fluffy. Unfortunately I had really bad service. I was only trying to pick up my takeout order that I could literally see on the counter. I was standing there as the only person in the establishment for a total of FIFTEEN minutes (I checked the time). I'm usually a patient person, but I was trying to catch the staff's attention by waving, saying hello, and catching their eye multiple times-- at some point it felt like I was being deliberately ignored. For a place that is purely takeout orders, I think they really need to improve their interactions with customers. I wouldn't come back to this location purely because of my interaction with the customer service. :( read more

Came here a second time after sampling the pizzas at a Yelp event. The pizzas are phenomenal here. I ordered a cheese, and my friend got the chicken ranch, pesto pizza. The individual sized pizzas are perfect for one person, maybe even two depending if you get a pie with a ton of toppings on it. The employees are amazing, and they do have a little sit down area inside the place. There is a tiny sliver of fried cheese on the outside that makes for a crisp tasty crust! Street parking only. read more

Stopped in for a few slices after walking by earlier in the day. Everything looked good, but we only tried the cheese and pepperoni. We asked the person working for a recommendation..but they didn't have the sausage and shrooms available by the slice, so we skipped it. Pizza was pretty solid..didn't feel too heavy and had the perfect amount of sauce and crunch. The space is small but super cute, and we had no trouble finding a seat since we arrived a little after 8pm. Overall, a nice spot for a casual slice! read more

Joyride Pizza - Cheese Pizza & YOLO 'Roni Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Came across this pizza place after we were done walking inside the ferry marketplace. My son wanted to try their pizza so we ordered a pepperoni personal pizza. It's deep dish with the sauce on top of the pepperoni instead of under the cheese. The pepperoni itself is very tasty and the dough has a good crust. They have plenty of tables outdoors to eat and enjoy the views. The pizza is a solid 8/10. read more

If you like focaccia bread, lots of tomato sauce & light cheese, this pizza, Detroit style, is for you. The focaccia crust was light & airy. The tomato sauce was flavorful with a slight zing. Yolo 'roni Pepperoni was laden with pepperoni. Kinda pricey at $25 for 6 slices (approx 6"x9"). 2 slices + salad made a nice meal. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We ordered the meatzza pizza & added mushrooms, garlic knots, wings, 1 side of ranch, 1 side of pesto (because I didn't know the knots came with marinara) & 3 bottled colas. The pizza was $29, $2 for the mushrooms, the side of ranch was $2, the wings were $22 for a dozen (pricey for what they actually were & how they tasted, IMO), garlic knots were $8 & the pesto was $3. The colas were $13.50 for all 3 & were not good at all, IMO. Mexican Coke is better & also has pure cabe sugar, like Boylan. The pizza was good, it has 8 squares which fed 3 adults & a toddler, with 1 square left over. The wings were not impressive at all. I've had better, metieron wings at a local pizza shop and for less money, but it's SF & at Yerba Buena Gardens so I understand the crazy prizes. I personally may not go back. I know there's better stuff out there but we were hungry & it was convenient. I honestly dont even know why they ask for a tip on the kiosk; there's no interaction with staff. They make the food, place it on the counter & you grab it yourself. I tipped because I dont want my food messed with but in all honesty, this style restaurant shouldn't have a tip option. read more

OK Joyride. Let's have a chat. We've been ordering pizza from you for a couple years now. You've got pretty good pizza, and you've got gluten free and vegetarian options. All yay! But dang. Your prices? $30 minimum for a six slice pizza? More like $40 after taxes and your healthcare charge. That's $6-7 a slice. And what pretty much threw me over the edge... We paid an extra $2 to have some ranch thrown in and you gave us like 1/8 of a container of ranch. Barely enough for one slice. Stop being greedy and just give us good pizza. Do better Joyride. Do better. read more

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.

Went here last summer with granddaughter after going to the Exploratorium nearby. We were starving and it was within walking distance. For this establishment to be in one of the heavily tourist areas, it's small, not enough chairs. We ordered slices of pizza. We weren't impressed. The pizza was dry and tasteless. This isn't a family style pizza joint, so I don't recommend bringing family here. Way overpriced per slice. Will not patronize this place again. read more

They are very quick for service, and the environment is efficient and clean. read more

Take a joyride out to the city to get a fresh taste of Detroit style pizza in the heart of San Francisco! As you walk past their magnificently clean window, your eyes are caught by the deliciously crafted pizzas cooling on their racks. Your mouth will start to water and as you get a whiff of the melted cheese and crispy pepperoni, you are officially lured in and will not leave without getting a taste. You walk in and are greeted by...electronic kiosks and if you look hard enough, you'll see the staff working behind the counter. They won't greet you as they're busy preparing orders so you're pretty much left to the devices. Fortunately as you swipe through the menu on the kiosk, you'll see vibrantly depicted pizza slices for their many flavors. They have a variety of vegetarian, meat loaded, and vegan options and you will have the choice of ordering by the slice or whole pizzas. They also have salads and some desserts as well. The whole pizzas are worth it relative to the price of each slice but if you're looking to try a few options, I suppose getting them by the slice could be your best bet. About 30 dollars for a whole pizza (6 slices) seems steep but given the amount of ingredients and that you're dining in the city, it isn't too bad. After you place your order, it's time for the waiting game. They advertise "speedy service", but in our experience, despite being the only patrons present ordering and them having a full rack of fresh pizzas ready, it was not very fast nor was there much service (no greeting or acknowledgement beyond calling for our name when our order was finally ready). It wasn't long enough of a wait for you to think they're making it from scratch either. After we got our pizza (Meatzza), we looked for a place to chow down. There is no indoor seating but just outside, there were benches, stools, and tables. They weren't the cleanest but it worked out. One bite into the fresh pizza, you get a full mouthful of flavor and nice crunch into the crispy crust. The oil and cheese enhance the absorption of flavors and allow the salt from the pepperonis to shine. Overall, Joyride does an amazing job with the presentation, flavors, and texture of their pizzas. Their lack of service and dining space may be justified with the relatively fair prices of their pizza. With so many flavors, it definitely warrants another visit. Given the crowded foodie scene in the city, I am glad Joyride carved out a piece to serve Detroit style pizza in this corner of town. read more

This place used to be pretty good a few years ago, but the last time I went there is the last time I'll be going there. Pizza was just OK but what really was wrong was They had a sign out front saying slices five dollars ... "Happy hour"well I got one cheese slice and one veggie slice and it cost $17! So not so happy (for me anyway) read more

I can tell you that I literally crave Joyride Pizza sometimes. I had this the first time last year in the summer. I quite enjoy their crust because it is soft and the cheese is just sooooo good. The one thing I will say though is that it is expensive T^T but I love it so much that I'll just need to splurge sometimes. My personal favorite is Zoe Roni Pepperoni. Only thing, not too much sitting. read more

I've picked up Joyride pies, I've had them delivered, I've gotten them via Toogoodtogo (such a great deal, sve for the next day's lunch! but late pickup), and I've walked up for slices that were eaten at Dolores and washed down with a beer from the corner store across the street. Joyride is a solid 5 stars for me for a myriad of reasons: - so many creative flavor options! - the crust is voluminous, filling, but not heavy - love the grilled-cheesey edge that is quintessential Detroit style pizza - pepperoni topping is crunchy - if ordering irl, easy/quick via a kiosk - tasty ranch (but for $3, we'll definitely be bringing out own bottle to Dolo next time lol) I really want to love their veggie by the slice options, but if the slices have been sitting out, the freshness for the veggies in particular is lacking -- still a good slice because I LOVE pizza, and not worth taking away any stars because what do I expect for pizza sitting in open air under some warming lights?!, but each time I give veggie by the slice a shot, I wish I went with pepperoni instead ;p so take this as your fair warning. By the slice is a great option for 1, no doubt, unless you're game for leftovers. By the slice is also great if you're eating with someone else so you can try different flavor combinations, just keep in mind they are sitting under warming lamps. I probably won't do by the slice unless it's a super sunny Saturday when Valencia is closed to cars in sections and there's a line/crowd waiting for slices. Otherwise I personally prefer & would recommend ordering a whole pie. Garlic knots with marinara are super tasty, a little greasy, but hello, would you want them any other way? The marinara is the right balance of tomato, not too sweet like some can be. Not much to note for ambience, though there is a parklet out front where you can enjoy your food if you're into eating next to a busy street. read more

Don't let the average ratings scare you away -- Joyride is a solid Detroit pizza joint that's worth a try. The Green Goddess pizza was a fantastic blend of fresh and creamy flavors. Ricotta cheese, which is amazing on pizza, is beautifully piped on like icing on cake. And there's enough flavor from the ricotta, mozzarella, and pesto that the pizza never felt too bready even with the thick crust. I also LOVED the sweety drops -- super sweet, juicy peppers that could elevate the freshness of any pizza! I'm still on the hunt for them in local grocery stores! It's also great that they have a gluten-free crust option, so our friend could get the delicious Pestoriffic pizza. It's just a slightly more dense, chewier version of the classic focaccia crust. The only thing I will note is some meat additions are pretty pricey -- we paid $5 extra for Italian sausage and didn't feel like much protein was added on. That said, the pizza was delicious on its own, with all the ricotta, and I would just forgo the sausage next time! There are lots of stores to pop into within the Mission District if you're waiting, so time will pass pretty quickly! read more
