Food was great. Pizza was meaty with good flavor. The atmosphere was great and the best place in the world to people watch. Cons: Parmesan cheese was left out in the sun. Something gave me a stomach ache. read more

What drew me to this spot was the outdoor seating and great views. Happy I chose this spot as it was a quick bite without the hassle of a true sit down restaurant. Quick service where you order at the front and handed a buzzer. Bar seating as well as a handful of tables inside and open air seating outside which is perfect for people watching. I grabbed the Supreme personal and a cocktail. It was definitely pricey but what do you expect from San Francisco. Pizza was decent with heavy toppings of pepperoni, sausage and tomatoes. The dough was airy, fluffy and had a nice crunch. The cheese crust was amazing. Not sure if I'll crave it but maybe if I'm playing tourist again I'd stop by. read more

After a run on a sunny day in SF, I stopped by Joyride Pizza near the Ferry Building. Their happy hour sign immediately caught my eye and Iwent straight for their $5 beer. Nothing hits quite like a cold drink after sweating through a run! This is definitely one of the better Joyride locations -- Ferry Building and along the Embarcadero. Great spot to grab $5 HH from 4-6pm (a slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza, beer or wine, pretzel or 5 piece wing) read more

We stopped in on Saturday night on our way to Bart. There were only tables outside available but we decided to try their pizza anyways because we had been wanting to check them out since seeing their $17 Salad and Pizza Union sandwich board outside on our work day lunch walks. Three of us shared a gluten free Detroit Style sausage and mushroom pizza and our friends got a vegetarian pizza and one with pepperoni. Everyone enjoyed their pizzas. Their gluten free Detroit Style had awesome crust and nice layer of sauce. We were really happy they had wine and beer available. And they have a full bar! It was a nice meal with a beautiful view of the bridge. read more

While the pizza was delicious, the fact that a slice is one inch wide is highly disappointing. There is no way any person would consider this a "normal" slice of pizza. Beyond disappointed that 8 slices of pizza were more like bite sized read more

I'm definitely a Joyride Pizza fan. Their Detroit styled pizzas are always perfectly thick, airy crust, and has those perfect caramelized cheese edges. However, I decided to order their veggie breakfast sandwich. It definitely had a lot going for it. The flavor profile was decent and we know the quality of their dough. Only downside was the execution of the egg which turned out to be a bit dry and overcooked. It also didn't have the fluffy texture you would want in a breakfast sandwich which made it slightly below their incredibly high standards they set with their pies. Overall, it's a solid breakfast option, but it doesn't quite steal the spotlight from their signature pizzas. I'll gladly continue coming here for my Detroit style cravings, but I hope they can give the eggs a little extra love. read more

Did not get pizza this visit, but the cheesecake is really good! It's not too heavy -- surprisingly light and the slightly caramelized top is almost similar to a basque cheesecake. The portion is great for sharing. This location is conveniently located near the ferry building and has a decent amount of seating inside & outside. Service is quick and friendly. read more

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. read more

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.

Joyride is legit Detroit style pizza. I may still be partial to square pie guys, but joyride is still a great substitute. My go to is the green goddess that has a swirl of ricotta on top.

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. read more

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!

If you like Detroit style pizza, this one fits the bill. They have inside and outside seating and the place is clean. Solid service that answers all your questions and service is quick.

Great Detroit-style pizza. Walk up to the counter, order, and it is out in 10 minutes or so. It's a simple model, but the pizza (both standard and their gluten-free crusts have a mix of crunch on the outside and cloudiness on the inside that I love. They seem to have high-quality ingredients and they turn out a great product. Not much indoor seating, but plenty of places to sit outdoors. My tip - add a Mela watermelon juice to wash the pizza down. Ummmmm read more

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. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We were on our way to catch our ferry but were super hungry. We went through the Ferry Building and nothing got us super excited. We went down the whole hallway and exited the building. We turned around and my son saw Joyride Pizza at the opposite end from where we were. We had 35 minutes to our ferry departure. The server at the counter said it would take 7-8 minutes. Of course, we expected the price to be a little inflated. The personal pizza was $16 and it was about 3" x 8". We ended up sharing a large one for $26 (8" x 10"). We ordered a pepperoni pizza and ended up waiting about 15 minutes. We had plenty of time to hustle to the ferry ramp. The pizza was hot and different from how I've eaten pizza before. The sauce was spread on TOP of the cheese and pepperoni. It made for a much more messy-looking pizza, but it wasn't hard to eat. It was very tasty, though I wish there had been more pepperoni on top. My son is not a big sauce guy, but he liked the pizza, too! read more

We found ourselves at the Ferry Building looking for food, but wandered just outside instead and found this spot. We've walked by it lots of time - just never stopped in until now. I got the Sweet Bianca with fig jam not knowing what to expect. I have to say it was the most unconventionally delicious pizza I've ever had. I thought I was ordering a tiny slice for that price, but it came with two mini-loaf style pizzas instead - twice the pizza for my expectations! All in all, it was fantastic and we will return. read more

Joyride is one of my favorite Detroit style pizzas. Their crust is always super crispy while still having that soft and fluffy inside. Pestorrific Chicken n Ranch - I didn't think pesto and ranch will work well together but it's a great combo. The chicken is usually pretty good but sometimes it can be dry. read more

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 read more

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. read more

The location was awesome (on the Embarcadero), service was very good, the overall vibe was relaxed yet trendy and the food was EXCELLENT! My family and I had pizza and salads and each item was very tasty, fresh and filling. My Greek salad was one of the best I have ever as it was loaded with unique flavors I had never had in a salad and it was AMAZING! The LA Dodgers are in town and had just won over the hometown San Francisco Giants so this place was PACKED with Dodger fans in all their Dodger attire which was very cool. This place was overflowing with customers during my entire time spent here which is usually a sign of a popular spot. read more

Okay so let me start off this review by saying sorry to you all because I totally forgot to take photos of our delicious pizza! I was so hungry that checking in completely slipped my mind and getting photos of the food was not even thought of until afterwards! So I'll try to explain the goodness of what we got! So we got a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza size large which is 6 slices. We got 1/2 pepperoni which my husband said was just average but they were out of chicken and he really wanted the BBQ chicken pizza for his side. I got the supreme (minus the chicken) and let me tell you it was DELICIOUS! I mean lick your fingers good! I'm still craving it! I can't wait to go back next time I'm getting the full 6 slices as supreme! Location of the place is awesome too! Right on the water with indoor and outdoor seating! Check it out if you're close by! read more

TooGoodToGo pickup order. $9.77 for a full size, random Detroit style pizza, which runs about half the price of their retail pricing. With how much I've seen pizzas costing recently (just spent $100 for two pizzas at another spot recently), a whole Detroit pizza for under $10 is a steal. Pizzas are random and I ended up with a classic "the cheese" as well as their pepperoni "yolo roni pepperoni". For TooGoodToGo, the pizzas are typically at room temp but are easy to take back home and reheat in the oven. Pizza is lighter due to the focaccia dough. I've had the pepperoni before and it comes generously loaded with these small pepperonis which curl up and have great flavor. The cheese on the cheese pizza was high quality Wisconsin brick cheese but I do wish there was a little more marina sauced on top of the pizza for some added moisture. read more

If you're in San Francisco and craving a pie that breaks from the usual round‐thin-crust norm, look no further than Joyride Pizza. The spot is all about the iconic Detroit‐style pizza--a thick, rectangular pan‐baked pie that oozes bold crust character, and Joyride has made it their specialty. It's a standout for its style in San Francisco: though Detroit‐style pizza is a regional specialty from Michigan, Joyride brings that authenticity and elevates it with quality ingredients and creativity. read more

This last weekend we enjoyed lunch at joyride pizza next to the Ferry building. It was much less crowded there than the bustling Ferry building. The store is not too large but there are a few tables inside and a few tables outside. They specialize in Detroit style pizza. We got a personal sized pizza each. Each personal sized pizza comes with four slices. We got the mushroom and sausage pizza and the all veggies pizza. The tomato sauce on the sausage and mushroom pizza was absolutely amazing. The sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and had such great flavor of tomatoes. The pizza crust was perfectly crispy and had such a great texture. We gobbled up the pizza crust so quickly. There is only one restroom so it always seems to be filled. The cashier was nice and helpful. Overall great place and would definitely come back for a yummy casual spot in the city. read more

Ever since moving out of SF 2 years ago, I have been missing Detroit style pizza. There aren't too many, if any, in LA. I was in SF for a day trip and made it my mission to get Joyride Pizza. I love that they opened a location at the Ferry Building. It's a great spot. There is limited seating indoors and plenty outdoors. We ordered the 'Eat Your Veggies' and 'Supreme'. We ordered the 6 slices for 'Supreme' but they accidentally made the order wrong and corrected it immediately. Both pizzas were good but I preferred the veggie one. We thought the Supreme one would have some veggies on it but it didn't. Please open up in LA! read more
