This place...ugh. I live a few blocks up from this location and I've tried to support them since I found them a few years ago. After a recent experience with what I can honestly say was the worst pizza I've ever had in my life, I don't think I can anymore.
The good:
Calzones are ok. I love calzones, I've never had a bad calzone here. Not the best, but not bad. This definitely isn't North beach, but it's decent.
Onion rings are good.
French fries are sometimes good. Usually soggy or otherwise not good.
The bad:
Pizza is very inconsistent and usually not good (see below)
The sandwiches suck. They recently jacked all their prices up so the sandwiches are even more of a ripoff than they were before. Don't order the "big daddy" expecting something that is actually...you know, big. The roast beef is a pathetic thin sliver of crappy "beef" and the philly cheese steak is dogshit on a (stale) roll. The chicken pesto and chicken marinara are OK.
French fries: see warning above.
Pasta: I ordered lasagne once. Barf. It wasn't lasagne. It was overcooked lasagne noodles tossed with crap sauce. Absolutely terrible. I love lasagne and the two or three bites I took of this garbage made me violently angry. I'd have given it to my dog except I don't hate my dog. Straight in the trash.
THE MOST RECENT DINING EXPERIENCE:
Last Friday I was in the mood for pizza and decided to give them a chance because not every dining experience here was horrible. Ordered their all meat pizza ("California") with a side of fries. Pickup. I've heard enough about how bad the delivery is that I'll brave a walk down there instead.
Oh my god was it awful. Terrible.
Let's start with the fries: soggy with a very "off" taste, like what I'd expect fries might taste like if they sat in an open bag on the counter (or in the freezer) for a week or so before being cooked. I had never had such awful french fries, not crispy at all. Soggy and terrible. Straight in the trash.
The pizza: hardly any toppings. This "all meat" california pizza was pretty much all dough and cheese and sauce with the absolute TINIEST sprinklings of toppings possible. It was pathetic. I had never seen such a stingy amount of toppings on a pizza ever in my life.
The pizza itself was horrible. The dough tasted very off -- perhaps it sat next to the fries for a week in the freezer or on a counter? I don't know. But it was horrible. The whole pie was EXTREMELY salty. Disgustingly so. I understand the meat on an all-meat pizza is salty but this...this was something different. Also keep in mind there was hardly any meat. I had never had a pizza that tasted so terrible as this one.
SO that's it. I'm done with this place. Despite several "questionable" experiences with their food, no more. Never again. Awful. There are plenty of better pizza joints nearby if you absolutely must have pizza in this neighborhood.
