"If you're catching a daytime movie at the Metreon, don’t fill up on popcorn and $7 Icees (as tempting as it may be)—just swing by Joyride Pizza in Yerba Buena Gardens for a pre- or post-movie lunch instead. The Detroit-style pies coming out of the casual counter-service spot have caramelized cheese walls and dough that stays light and airy underneath the toppings, which range from plain cheese to pepperoni and a thick stripe of tomato sauce to a veggie combination with brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and olives. They also have great cocktails to sip on while you gaze out at the gardens and consider playing hooky tomorrow. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
