The Best Late Night Restaurants In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Big Apple Pizza N Grill in the Tenderloin brings true NYC energy to SF, making juicy, extra-cheesy bodega-style chopped cheeses until 3am on weeknights and 5am on weekends. But like any late-night spot, expect some chaos—orders can take 30 minutes, and you’ll likely have to wait on the sidewalk. You can save yourself a few minutes by ordering a slice of the ready-made pizza instead." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

Big Apple's solid NY bodega-style menu gets lost in the chaos - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Ordering at Big Apple Pizza N Grill in the Tenderloin feels like waiting for your favorite rollercoaster, only for it to break down as soon as you’re at the front of the line. The chopped cheese is the best thing on the menu at this New York bodega-style spot—the meat is juicy, it’s plenty cheesy, and it’s big enough to share. But a likely 30-minute wait cramped inside or milling around on the sidewalk will probably kill any kind of excitement for it. To save yourself a few minutes, try ordering a slice of pizza. Although far from the best in the city, it’s at least ready to be packed up. That said, Big Apple does bring true NYC energy to the area, open late until 3am Sunday to Thursday and until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays (but don’t expect the crowds or the wait to ease up the later it gets). This tiny place only has a few counter seats, so be ready to take your food to go. Food Rundown photo credit: Patrick Wong Chopped Cheese Everything about this forearm-sized bodega classic is done right. But would we brave another half-hour wait for it? No. Ordering ahead online or via an app for pickup has mixed results. video credit: Taylor Gomez Pizza There’s much better pizza in the city, but for late-night crowds, slices of this flimsy version are perfectly serviceable. Opt for the pepperoni—the little discs of pork are curled and crispy." - Patrick Wong

I love this place! I can't say one bad thing. The man who helped me was really good at his job. He took my order, cooked the food and packaged it up all on his own. He did it all so quick and cooked it perfectly and was so nice. I got the chopped cheese, curly fries, bacon cheeseburger burger, peach cobbler and banana pudding. It was all so good. They take EBT and are open until I think 5am. They have a huge menu and even have a smoothie menu. They have a big selection of sweets too that are not on the menu. They're prices are really reasonable. All the hard work they have put into making this place successful really does show. I wish them the best of luck.

If this place was anywhere else downtown they would easily collect 2-3x their current prices. Delicious hot food cooked to order quickly because they aren't sacrificing service by cutting staff. Don't let the lines or appearance prevent you from getting the best chopped cheese in the bay area. The lines will move quickly and you will return for another!

I visited Big Apple Pizza and Grill in San Francisco to try their Chopped Cheese sandwich, and while the food itself was solid, the overall experience left much to be desired. The sandwich was tasty, but the customer service was disappointing. My order was incorrect—I specifically asked for no tomato, but it came with tomato, and I ordered waffle fries but received curly fries instead. Mistakes happen, but the lack of attention to detail and care in fixing the issue made it frustrating. Despite the food being good, the poor service overshadowed the experience. Unfortunately, I don’t see myself returning or supporting the business in the future.

Its a city pizza spot. For ten bucks I got a slice and a banana pudding. It's exactly what you want, and tastes like it too. Definitely give it a shot if you're getting off at Powell station, and walk with it to your destination.

Revised review. The food is actually pretty amazing (not the pizza) but the sandwiches and smoothies are regular meals for me now. I personally love the Texas chopped cheese, it has a fried egg that helps bring everything together and prevents the sandwich from feeling too dry. The smoothies are expensive, almost the same price as a regular sized chopped cheese but considering the location the fact that they have smoothies at all is incredible. Last two things I'll say, opt for the larger sized sandwich (the hero), for an extra 2 bucks you get double the food. And lastly the one major downside.... be prepared to wait in line to order and also a long wait to get your food especially during peak "drunk hours". **Either place your order and run another errand or order online.**

Great chopped cheese sandwich. The service was slow and well there's nothing you can do about the location. Also the size of the sandwich was big for the price.

I love this spot. Gonna be my favourite spot in San Fran. Went to get pizza and they had so much different options. Halal food, burgers, etc. Prices are not bad either. Guys were friendly and it seems like they have a good relationship with the neighbourhood

Want solid food with an urban atmosphere, look no further. Owner is down to earth and loves what he does and it shows through the food. Oh yeah and it’s 100% halal

Word around the street is that there's a late night spot to grab a chopped cheese, so after a show at the Masonic, we decided to walk down and give it a try. When we arrived around 11:30PM, there was a line out the door. While we were in line all I kept hearing was chopped cheese the 'ocky way'. It's just a chopped cheese sandwich as is on the menu. Either way I ordered one and their Mexican chopped cheese. Order took around 20 minutes, and we got our order to go. First thing you'll notice is how massive this thing was. We got both 12" sandwiches for a total of $25, which is a crazy good deal considering the amount of food. The chopped cheese itself was good but something made it a little too sweet. Don't know if it was the ketchup but it needs some spice or pepper. The Mexican chopped cheese I thought had better flavor overall, and I'd get that over the regular chopped cheese. This is a great after the bar/concert food spot, but I don't think it's something I'd crave everyday. The area around it is a bit rough, so it's a spot that I'd have to be nearby already to go to. Overall, if you want to try a chopped cheese this isn't a bad spot to do it.

Location is not in the best area of SF so be aware that you will be seeing all kinds of people in the streets and inside. The place itself is small, there are stools to sit and counter to eat on but that's up to you. It took a while for us to get our food...45 min-1hour. From the time our orders were taken to the time it was done. I ordered the chopped cheese/cheesesteak hero (6 inch) with mushrooms and waffle fries. The sandwich was plain and simple, well seasoned, but I do feel that there wasn't much mushrooms added. The bread was soft and just right. Waffle fries were stale and not fried crispy enough to my liking. Overall, this place isn't bad at all but I'd try something else next time. We also wanted their pressed juices but were told it was discontinued because it wasn't selling.

Surprisingly solid food from one of those order whatever your heart desires pizza/sanwhich/halal shops! So I stumbled on this place bc it is one of the only places I could find that has chopped cheese. Been wanting to try it for forever. So I ordered the chopped cheese and a lamb halal plate. Both were good! The chopped cheese was a little underwhelming tbh, I'm sure there are better ones, but the halal plate was spot on! Would definitely order again.

We ordered from the Big Apple via doordash and the sandwiches lived up to the hype. We got 2 philly cheese steaks and 1 chicken and cheese. Although the cheesesteaks were good, I must say the chicken and cheese sandwich was notable. The chicken was marinated to perfection and paired well with the cheese, peppers, and jalapeno.

Do not get the Dubai strawberries! They aren't fresh and the chocolate is old and hard. The customer service sucks. I went twice this week before leaving a review and they didn't care to get my order right both times. They also over charged me for things I didn't order. The wait is always long and lots of horse play behind the counter. They get 3 stars for the chopped cheese, it was mid.

Late night, greasy, fresh & hot pizza to share after a concert is just an experience in itself. This spot had enough room & stools for us all to sit and rest and fill up before hitting the road late night. Just glad it was still open and close by.

Ordered on DoorDash , had food poisoning for 2 weeks. Something about this place that messed up my stomach for weeks. I would love to leave a 5 star review but I just had to come back and say this place is not sanitary at all whatsoever

When in doubt, go for the Chopped Cheese--it never disappoints. I love this spot! My advice? Order online ahead of time because the wait can be long due to the high volume of orders. It's that popular for a reason!

Is this place going to change your life? No. Is this place somewhere I'd go when I'm sober? Probably not. But is this place perfect for when you're getting rained on, it's after midnight, you're a little buzzed, and you're calling it a night? Yup. This place will do the trick. This place otherwise is just okay. It was a longer than expected wait time but that's okay. My group and I had the chance to wait out the rain as the food cooked. Perhaps a big group came before me and my group arrived and cleaned out the place because there wasn't much prepared or out. The pizza slices are pretty big and resemble how large the slices in New York are but it's definitely not the same high quality. I'm from the city. So I would know. It tasted like it would be great for college students but as someone whose past those days, I wouldn't actively go out my way to choose to eat here. The workers are cool. Like I said, seems like they got pretty hard right before I arrived and so they seemed a bit out of breath. They were courteous and nice tho. Overall. Id say it deserves 2.5 stars. Perhaps more like a 2 but the prices were pretty good and so that gives it a little boost.

Pizza slice was good and an ample size slice. Cheeseburger was juicy and tasty. Staff was friendly and very hard working. For delicious, not for people on a diet food, it was pretty good. Place was packed after midnight with a line out the door.

Friendly staff! Combo halal plate is filling and a favorite!! i don't know many places in the city that make these and was happy to see that they make it here. Chopped cheese sandwich the whole family loves and we order every time. Haven't had one bad thing yet. The neighborhood is colorful so keep in mind when picking up food, but worth a trip to try! I'd call the order in and pick up. Going back for sure!

I had a chopped cheese sandwich and a slice of pepperoni pizza and I must say it wasn't too bad! The sandwich was well constructed and had a good amount of tasty ground beef in it. The pepperoni pizza was your basic greasy pizza. What do you expect from a place like this. If you want a simple Pizza or some chopped cheese this is definetly the place for simple food

Fries are terrible tbh and you wait 40 mins for a sandwich. Had about 20 people waiting inside the store waiting for food.

Waited 50 min for a chop cheese. This place was straight dirt, ain't no seasoning onna meat, taste like straight bread and meat. I thought it come wit lettuce and tomatoes ain't none of that was in my sandwich. Fries no seasoning, soggy straight nasty. Overhyped I thought this would taste like sum from NY fr. Ock gotta be from Jeresy ‍

Wasn't expecting much when I ordered online, but was in for quite the treat! Great variety, taste, and options - there is something for everyone & definitely coming back again. My friend visiting from NY saw this pop up on Yelp while looking for places to eat in SF, so we gave this a try. Chopped cheese is the real deal! The fries were tasty & look like they were cut by hand the same day. We also had the standard cheese burger & the cheesesteak came which were okay. The cheesesteak came without mushrooms for those wondering. The smoothies and protein drink was an unexpected add on to the menu, but added some balance to the meal & finished dinner feeling light but satisfied.

This was within walking distance to our hotel (Hilton Parc 55) and it was open late (until 3am?) so it was perfect for that late night meal after Outside Lands! The menu is extensive and includes pizza (slices or whole), chicken wings, chicken tenders, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salad, halal food, and smoothies / shakes. I ordered 2 slices of pizza which I think was either 5 or 6 dollars each, but they were made fresh and BIG slices - totally worth it. I also ordered chicken tenders which were super crispy just how I like it (ranch on the side of course). My friends ordered a pizza slice as well, a hangover juice/smoothie, chicken wings, and a burger with fries. Everything was made fresh and tasted good! Service was a little slow tbh as we got there maybe around 11:30pm and there were 3 people working on different things like the pizza or the halal food or the doordash orders. We didn't mind waiting because we had no where to be after and there was a liquor store next door that we stopped by to stock up on chips/drinks. Next time I stay nearby I'll definitely come back here for some freshly made pizza!

Stopped here on a late night to grab food with a group...drunk & starving. Malik gave us some recs and when I tell you it was bomb...bomb! The pizza was mid, nothing special but the wings my gosh the wings. They are soooo good. The soy garlic is phenomenal. They are crisp & cooked to perfection. The mozz sticks, onion rings, curly fries, and cake were all so amazing. We came back the next day & got it all again. Highly recommend.

Found this place late at night on my way back to the hotel. We ordered pepperoni pizza which was ok and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich which was nasty. One bite and I threw it away! I definitely won't be eating here again.

better than halal guys - re. lamb and rice w/salad only store that makes a chopped cheese in SF imagine a NY chicken and rice cart that SF city supervisors wouldn't allow combined with a NYC corner store bodega sammich store === Big Apple Pizza N Grill ^ edit: i talked to "older brother" who usually mans the register while his little brothers play vid games and goof off on the side and learned the store is indeed family owned and they used to have a food cart in NYC!

I ordered delivery, wings had great flavor, by why was there no sauce offered. Why were there no sauce? Wings were dried with no sauce. I am angry for paying $22 for 6 wings and no sauce . When I called they said, "sometimes they forget the sauce". I asked for a refund and they said no. Service 0

Wings were ehhhh. Id stay away from them. Fries are also just okay. But the Pizza, Burgers, Chopped Cheese, Philly are fire. Def recommend esp when it's 1 AM and you're drunk lol
