Joyride Pizza, Mission District

We ordered: 1. Sweet heat pineapple (added ricotta): 5/5 This was our favorite!! All the ingredients just came together so well, would highly recommend this! 2. Pestorrific: 3/5 This one was okay, the bacon was overpowering which made it a tad salty for our liking.

Last night was the first time I came here. It's not difficult to find the place. I got the sweet pineapple I think it was called? It was really good. They put a ton of pineapples and capers. I liked it and would return.

Joyride Pizza is good as hell!!!! I would never spend full price on it but I have a "hack" which makes it MUCH cheaper and therefore an INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS AND AMAZING EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME!!! The dessert pizza with jam is absolutely revolting, but every other pizza I've had is a work of art- especially the sausage pesto mushroom, the sweet heat, and good ol'-fashioned 'roni! Pepperyoni 😇😄🤤😋

Pizza joint within the mission district area with quick-pick up options for square, thick crusted pizza. Although the appearance itself was very appetizing, the texture of the bread was pretty dry and did not feel high quality. The toppings were slightly excessive and drowned out the integral pizza ingredients including the cheese and sauce. The price did not equate to the quality or quantity of the pizza and the staff did not understand I had just wanted one of each pizza type, so they ended up charging me more than I had wanted. The environment is more accustomed for take out. No gluten free options.

Nice outdoor dining for delivery pick up or done alfresco. Perfect place for vegetarian community. I have often the fig Bianca Which has a yummy fig preserve Bass on a deep-dish square pizza with creamedgoat cheese and an extra shred of Parmesan on top takes it to the max. Can only order with card and many locations are available

Joyride Pizza on Valencia Street is a must-visit gem for anyone craving a slice of something bold, fresh, and deeply satisfying. Specializing in Detroit-style pizza, this spot stands out with its crispy-edged, thick yet airy crusts and vibrant, creative toppings. The moment you walk by, the display case catches your eye with colorful, square-cut pies that look as good as they taste. What makes Joyride special is the quality and variety. Whether you’re a meat lover, vegetarian, or somewhere in between, they’ve got a square for you. Classics like pepperoni and sausage are stacked with flavor, while options like “The Sweet” with ricotta and basil, or the veggie-loaded “Shrooms” offer a gourmet twist that hits the spot. Every slice is a mini meal — rich, chewy, crispy, and made with care. Service is friendly and fast, and the ambiance is casual and bright. With plenty of natural light and outdoor vibes from the big glass windows, it’s a great spot to pop in for lunch or a quick dinner. Prices are fair considering the portion sizes, and you can mix and match slices to your heart’s content. If you’re in the Mission and looking for Detroit-style done right, Joyride Pizza is an easy win. Highly recommended.

What happened Joyride ? This is not the pizza I remember from the year you first opened, but a sadder version of your former self. The quality seemed to have taken a dive and the dough is not as thick and seemed undercooked. The cheese and flavor also tasted off.

My friend and I had gone to a different restaurant and crossed this pizza place. I caught the whiff of this amazing smelling pizza and immediately checked the name of the place and the display in the window. The rectangular thick crust (later found out that it was focaccia crust) with beautiful and delicious looking toppings - right away, it was decided that I will grab some on the way back and take it home. The place has more than 1 vegetarian option which is a big win for all the vegetarians out there. You can order through a digital kiosk. I tried the ‘eat your veggies’ and ‘green goddess’ pizza. Both were very interesting and unique with their toppings and taste. I want to try their ‘sweet heat pineapple’ but without the pepperoncini. I also tried the garlic knots but wasn’t that impressed by them. But will definitely recommend to go here and have it fresh. I intend to do that next.

I absolutely adore Joyride Pizza. If you're craving solid Detroit-style pizza in San Francisco, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better spot. I tried their meat pizza, and it did not disappoint. The pepperoni was perfectly crisp, and every pizza is freshly warmed to order. While it's on the pricier side (around $30 for a whole pizza), the quality makes it worth it. The setup is simple--there's no indoor seating, just a small sidewalk area where you can enjoy your slice. If you're looking for a quick and delicious bite, I highly recommend Joyride Pizza!

Sad-slide pizza? I don't remember these pizza slices being this bad--the dough tasted like it was two days old. On top of that, a plain cheese slice costs $12.25. I am never coming back here. Save yourself the disappointment and head to Tony Gemignani's. Even Detroit style slices around $7-$8 and actually taste like pizza should.

Never again! Dry, too much bread and not enough content. Waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced Customer service sucks, well you gotta talk to the machine The price of two slices would get you a world class full Chicago style pizza right across the street at Red Star $15 a slice average. Felt robbed out of my mind.

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.

Love the setup of the place & I thought it would be a bit pricey for the location, but nope. Fair prices & good food. Only tried the #5 all meat pizza it was ok, only took two bites, got full fast. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out.

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.

When I ordered my supreme pizza online I was so excited about it that I didn't notice that I had not ordered a specific size pizza until the order was placed. It came delivered mid-cold but looked amazing. After biting into it...pure goodness ... The pizza was so delicious! it was hands down some of the best pizza I have ever tried. I definitely encourage you to order from them!

We ordered the gluten free pestorrific pizza, which was amazing! I could barely tell it wasn't a wheat crust - the texture and flavor was great! I thought the topping choices for pestorrific worked perfectly together too - the bacon really made the flavor delicious. There was more than enough for two people, and the leftovers reheated were good too! Our only issue was that we added olives to the order, and despite there being the added topping noted on the receipt and the sticker on the box, there were no olives on the pizza. For $3, I expected a little more attention to detail, as that was the only addition we made, aside from the gluten free crust, which was thankfully correct (the person I shared it with has a gluten allergy). I called the restaurant, then contacted the email indicated in the pre-recorded message, but failed to hear back or get notice of a refund to my card. To their credit, we were so hungry and enjoyed it so much that we didn't realize the olives were missing until the pizza was half gone!

thick ass bready ass pizza rich and greasy but still hits personally. a bit pricy but it's san francisco so. caesar salad brought the freshness needed with this pizza.

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.

Detroit style pizza at its finest! You walk by this place and the aroma of pizza hits you! I really love how all the pizza is displayed in the window so you can see what all is on it and how big the pieces are. My friends and I each got one flavor of pizza and the two piece serving as a way to try more than one thing. You order on screens which is nice and then a few mins later your pizza is boxed and ready to go. We got the Bacon me Crazy which was delicious, we got the Sweet Bianca which was amazing, it was sweet and tasted like a charcuterie board on a pizza. We also got the Pestorrific which was good but salty so probably wouldn't get that one again. The serving size is great though, definitely shareable and definitely filling.

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.

Fire spot! First of all, takeout only but there's a parklet right outside, so you're good. Definitely reminded me of NYC in that regard, grab n go with no nonsense. Kudos to whatever music they were playing to the night I went. Pay on the iPad/touchscreen and you're off! Hassle free, love that. Now the food...I love pizza so I had trouble picking just one but I settled on Bacon Me Crazy: Bacon, crimini mushrooms, ricotta, house marinara, parmesan, mozzarella. It's delicious; heavy, but who gets pizza to be healthy (nutritionally that is lol, soulfully it's healthy af lol). I look forward to trying other selections of theirs in the future.

The Bianca pizza is so good and I highly recommend if you like ricotta! The pepperoni is also a classic. My pizza was a bit stale, which was disappointing since I went around peak dinner time, but it was still really good. Definitely get a side of ranch to enjoy with it. The service is fast since the pizzas are premade and they just warm it up.

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!

I love a good Detroit pizza, and I also love pizza with fun toppings and flavors! Ordered this for takeout. The Sweet Bianca was very unique given its beautiful presentation with the ricotta on top. It was also sweet and almost syrupy, but I love sweet food, so this was right up my alley. The crust was both crunchy and chewy. It did feel a bit pricey for $27 though. We also ordered the braised Brussels sprouts, which I felt could've used a bit more oil/sauce for flavor? I think because it was shaved Brussels sprouts instead of halved sprouts it maybe was on the drier side. I liked the hot honey paired with the lemon and Parmesan flavors though.

I'm not gonna lie the 4.1 star rating on google had me hesitant but the pizza ended up bein shhhhmackkkin. The pestoriffic really satisfied my munchies. You order on a screen and wait to be called, and there is some outdoor benches and tables outside so super casual :)

Found this unique pizza place in the Mission area in SF, offering what to me resembles Detroit style pizza, so I had to give this place a try: - Sweet Bianca: The overall flavor of this one was a little too sweet for my taste, and while the two dollops of ricotta cheese on the top looked inviting, unfortunately they didn't do anything to add to the flavor. The bread itself tasted sweet to me - borderline dessert-y, so think something salty would be great to balance out the sweetness. The bread itself was more on the drier side, unfortunately. - Meatzza: I liked this one much better than the Sweet Bianca. However, while Sweet Bianca in my opinion could benefit from using some saltiness, the Meatzza was too salty for me. The pepperoni slices being salty was expected, but the house marinara was extremely salty. If the sauce had been more on the tangier side, I think that would help cut through the salt and make this pizza better. Overall, it was just okay, especially considering the price - $28 for 4 slices.

The pizzas being on display outside are very convenient to have before ordering. There was no line to place an order on the kiosk however, getting my order did take some time but this was to warm up and finish the slices off with their sauces/parmesan. There is no seating inside so would recommend as a to go place. Slices themselves were pretty good and had a nice base. Needed more red onion buffalo sauce on the chicken buffalo one.

Great for a late night grab. Went on Friday around 11.15 pm They serve Detroit style pizzas. You order through the self order kiosks. We got the pestorific pizza. They put the pesto and the ranch after heating the pizza. Messy to eat but tasty. The meatzza pizza was also tasty and topped with marinara Weird that they want 18% tip for a takeout though

Been wanting to give this place a try from seeing all of the pizzas displayed through the glass windows. Ordered the pestoriffic pizza and garlic bread knots with ranch. We opened up half a cup of tomato sauce instead. The food itself was very dry and greasy. Flavor was there, but very underwhelming to eat.

Whenever I want to order pizza for delivery, Joyride is my go to Their crust is unbeatable and their sauces are to die for. Their pies also truly hold up through delivery and being reheated the next day My favorites are the Pestoriffic and the Sweet Bianca!

Stopped in to order mainly because the pizza looked so beautiful in the window display. Price was high -- maybe $14 for this amount of pizza? -- but I think it delivered as an interesting flavor combo, between the cheese and fig jam. I think it was nice as a sort of dessert / sweet and savory pizza. The bread was a bit thick but had a nice crisp on the edges and was fresh enough. Not sure I'll come again, but appreciated the novelty.

Dry too much crust and not very flavorful, CRAZY OVERPRICED, $17 for the cheapest option is really nuts. I tried it but won't go back, similar to Square Pie Guy's, not my cup of tea. They do use quality ingredients but it's just nothing to rave about, at that cost I expect to be wowed.

Pretty good pizza! Not my personal favorite style so that may affect my opinion since I'm more of a thin crust / napoleon type of guyyy but the crust is crispy, the pizza is FILLING, and tastes great with a coke :) service is always fast as well!

I was recently introduced to "Detroit" style pizza... While I have no desire to go to Detroit, I might have to make a change of plans after trying this AMAZING PIZZA... The bread, the cheese, the pepperoni... OMG. It's delicious fresh and delicious the next day if you happen to have any leftover. The other night they had a BOGO deal and of course I took full advantage. I have been to the actual restaurant location once and it was cool. Busy busy on a Friday night but worth the visit. I'm am more the order and eat peacefully at home type though. I'm a fan of the Meatzza with EXTRA cheese and a lot of my colleagues love the Sweet Heat Pineapple. No spicy for me but it seems to be popular among night shift nurses at UCSF. Highly recommend you try this place. Whether you want to have a bite at one of their locations, or just enjoy it at home with your pizza person!

Im from the Detroit Area, so my bar for Detroit style pizza is thru the roof. The pizza at Joy Ride is very instagram-able and picture worthy but im not sure it's worth the photos. One slice will cost you over 12 dollars, its cut in two halves but in my opinion that's still pricey. I got the veggie slice and it was just average. There was nothing special about the ingredients except the roasted tomatoes. Everything else about it was pretty mid and overrated. Save your money and don't get distracted by the pizza displays in the window. It's good but not worth the hype.

We've been missing out. I was wondering why this "deep dish" was so light. It's made on foccacia bread. I'm usually not a meat lover but gosh this was good! Do NOT forget the honey. Just give it a try and thank me later. They have pizza by the slice, as well. Maybe 1 mod would be to add MORE red onions shreds on our pizza. Can't wait to come back!

Stopped in to grab some quick dinner and wow. The window display got me. Everything looked so good. Walked in and ordered on the self serve screens and got 3 slices (2 pieces each). Meatzza: 8/10 classic meat lovers. Not much to be mad about. Pepperoni dominant but still hits the spot. Buffalo Chicken: 9/10 tastes like eating a buffalo chicken wing but in pizza form. Boyfriend says "amazing, now I want wings too" Sweet Bianca (with parm): 9/10 I love the sweetness of the fig and ricotta with the savory cheesy crust. All of the crusts were super crispy. I wish I knew it was fresh grated Parmesan they were putting on the top when I checked the add parm boxes. I would have gotten it on all of them. Overall, very good. A little pricy as these 6 pieces total cost $50+ but I would come back and order whole pizzas in the future. Slices are about $14 and whole pizzas are about $23. Will be coming back to try more including the garlic knots.

Pizzas were actually much better than I expected. Seasoned heavy, but dough was crispy and delicious. It's quite flavorful. I liked the pesto pizza with chicken. They said one square pizza (22~25 bucks) is for two people, but I could only eat 1/6 of it and two garlic knots. Generous portion size. Very close to the conference center, nice outdoor seating. They don't have draft beer but have canned ones. I gave a high review for the convenience of the location.

This place waaaay over-promises and under-delivers! It's wildly over-priced, greasy, and bland, and the employees don't even make eye contact. The slices of pizza sit in the front window to entice potential customers, and it worked on me. The doorway area was cluttered, making it really hard to maneuver my wheelchair inside. I was immediately met by an ordering machine in a cramped tiny foyer. I found the lack of human interface a bit off-putting, but went along with it, since this was clearly about convenience, not customer service. I ordered a slice of the "Sweet Bianca", which advertised "talleggio, fig jam, ricotta, mozzarella, and something called 'brick cheese'". To my shock and horror, it was $14 for one slice!! I almost walked out right then and there, but I'd been wanting to try Detroit-style pizza, so I decided to just splurge and hope it was mind-bendingly delicious. I waited in the crowded foyer with several other people, as we all tried to squeeze in, since it was hella cold and blustery outside, so very unpleasant to wait out there. There were two employees, neither of whom smiled, greeted any customers, made any eye contact with or even spoke to any of us. While I waited, I took note of my surroundings: Most of the space was their food staging and storage areas. It was very haphazard, had no visual appeal, and was poorly lit. Finally my slice was ready and I took it out to the parklet in front. It was really cold outside, but I wanted to at least try a bite of this costly slice while it was still fresh and hot from the oven, before I rolled home with it. I took a bite, and was immediately vastly disappointed! Greasy, bland, not really evenly warmed, never mind hot, with bland cheese that was already congealed on top. The little mounds of ricotta and fig jam were few and far between, so I had to take a few more bites to try to taste that part...but unfortunately that was a letdown, too. The ricotta was pretty flavorless, and the fig jam was waaaay too sweet in way too thick a puddle, making that bite read more as a dessert than a piece of pizza! The crust was really thick like focaccia, but super-greasy and flavorless...and there was A LOT of it! It also didn't taste particularly fresh, more like it had been sitting around for a while. The ratio of cheese to bread was way off, and the whole thing was just really bland. Talleggio cheese is an assertive cheese, but I didn't taste even a hint of it. Other than some of the grocery store frozen pizzas of the 1980's, this was the worst pizza I've ever had...and I paid $14 plus tax for that honor!! I won't ever be back, not if it was the only food place open. I'd sooner crack a can of tuna at home, because at least that would have some flavor and wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg! And maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I like employees to look up at me, acknowledge my existence, and gawd forbid, maybe even smile or greet me! I wouldn't recommend Joyride Pizza to anyone!

Fluffy bouncy and very focaccia like. Unfamiliar with Detroit style pizza we were expecting a pan pizza experience but got a more airy and bread like crust. Each order is heated in the oven and gets to you warm and toasted. Our group of four decided to go with a half and half pie with the Sweet Bianca and Eat Your Veggies as our flavors. The Sweet Bianca had fig jam which made for a delicious dessert like experience while the other flavor came loaded with veggies. We found that the pie didn't really have much or any sauce so we were caught off guard and craved that cheesy saucy experience. We also got the garlic knots which were amazing, garlicy, and loaded with freshly grated cheese on top. The knots come with marinara sauce which we also used to dunk the pie into as well. Initially wanting to wait until we got home to sample the garlic knots the smell was too tempting and we decided to enjoy our meal at the parklet As with any square dish the corners are always the most optimal piece in my opinion, and I was not let down by the crispy edges!

Oh, my gosh. I believe the hype! This place is a Ah-Mazing! Detroit style pizza is so good!! Had to park a block away, but the walk was enjoyable, under the shade of some trees and along a well kept condo building. There's a lot of outdoor seating at the restaurant, and the street was surprisingly not too loud, even though it was kind of busy. In case you're not sure what you want, they have the full assortment of slices through their window display. Take a look before you order. Ordering in store is clear and concise, but only available through kiosk. Anyway, super easy, there was no line when I went, and it looks like it can get busy, but there are two kiosk screens here. And as of this posting, they also have online ordering on their website. Portions are generous, and definitely worth it. I picked up the hot honey Bianca, and the 'eat your veggies.' Delicious! Both of them. I was only able to eat one slice of each, and was delighted to enjoy them again later. My mom really liked the vegetable pizza. The lady who served the pizza, was bright and welcoming. Don't forget a utensil packet after ordering, or on your way out, because the napkin is included there. And you're definitely going to need a napkin. If you get something with the hot honey, you might wanna have a wet wipe also. Your hands can end up a bit sticky afterwards. I don't think they offer wet wipes, but if you're a foodie pro, or raising a family, you'll probably have some with you. Hand sanitizer works too! I did not notice a public restroom, but I was not paying attention that much. Since they are open pretty late, would I come here if the craving is strong enough? For sure, but likely to go only.

Ordering the Smokin' Hot Mother Clucker Detroit pizza from Joyride as a to-go option turned out to be a stroke of luck! When we arrived for pick-up, the pizza was hot out of the oven - talk about perfect timing! The BBQ chicken paired with Bone Suckin' BBQ sauce, mushrooms, red onion, pepperoncini, mozzarella, and brick cheese created an explosive flavor combo. The crispy-yet-soft Detroit-style crust provided the perfect canvas for this culinary masterpiece. Although the sauce could've been a bit more balanced, the overall experience was fantastic.

Some of the best Detroit-style pizza I've had in the city and will definably be coming back for more and more. Love just how fluffy and airy the centers are and crunchy the edges are giving a nice balance of textures. I also find their plethora of pizza flavors and options fun and inventive. The only downside from our experience was that we ordered delivery and it took so long that the pizza was cold once it got to us. =( A quick heat up in the oven made it all better though and that wasn't any fault of Joyride's. We ordered the garlic knots, sweet bianca pizza, and veggie primal pepperoni (vegan pepperoni) pizza. Could have skipped the garlic knots as they weren't that special but loved both pizzas. The sweet bianca with its fig jam is delicately sweet and flavorful. Feel like you cannot go wrong with what you order!

I just want to give props to Joy Ride for their gluten free dough. First off, most gluten free dough is trash. Very soft and mushy, not crunchy or crispiness when you bite it. Case in point, I just ordered square pie guys and dough was not good. Joy ride is the only gluten free pizza that actually tastes of bread/Detroit style pizza. Some similar restaurants don't even offer gluten free pizza. And square pie guys is very skimpy on their ingredients on top. So thank you Joy Ride!

I have ordered take out from Joyride a handful of times now, and I can tell you our entire family loves it! So far, we have only had the Build your own with cheese and parm, and the Bacon me Crazy with plant based bacon. We haven't been able to venture out and order more items because these are so delicious. One other thing to note about Joyride...don't worry about over ordering. Their pizza when heated up the next day is just as delicious as it was when first ordered! Can't wait to try more of their menu items.

Wanted to try this place for the 1st time so I and a a few coworkers decided to do the happy hour as we arrived at 2:59pm today we were told by the young man that we missed it that we had to be there by 3 pm and that we couldn't get the discount but as I explained to super disappointed by him not honoring the offer since we arrived before 3pm

Tasty Detroit style pizza with a variety of topping combinations, including some creative options like Sweet Bianca (fig jam and ricotta) and Sweet Heat Pineapple. The space itself is tiny with no dining room and customers place their own orders using one of 3 ordering tablets. I ordered from the happy hour menu (2-3pm weekdays) where prices range from $6-$9 per order (which is 2 small slices). My pizza was ready fairly quickly and while tasty, it wasn't my favorite Detroit pizza in the city. That honor goes to Cellarmaker. But I love the happy hour option for a late lunch so I'd come back!

Deeeelicious detroit style pizza with a nice crispy crust. Pestorrific: gas. Sweet Bianca: divisive (interesting/odd sweetness but still pretty good.) Super easy to order from the kiosk. Recommend eating it straight away since letting it sit out for a while ruins it. If you want to eat indoors, Woods Lowside in lower haight is a cute bar that serves Joyride pizza!

Uhm Ryan trahan? Is there joyride sweets? Like this is crazy Good pizza I've went there for holiday Yum

This may be my first negative review (and I am in my 60s). This pizza is like white bread with toppings - they look good, but we actually threw out the rest of the pizza when we got home. Maybe it is my New York Italian background, but this pizza does not deserve a second try. Try the other Square Pan pizzas and you will be way happier!

I have no clue why this place only has three stars.... I LOVE Joyride pizza It is LEGENDARY The service is incredible (Joshua Jacobs, President, has a great vision for this team and company and has vowed to offer excellent customer experience time after time- if something is wrong, he will fix it) One of the best pizza places in the city STELLAR Detroit style pies LOVE the build your own with vegan sausage and vegan pepperoni The sweet Bianca with fig and sweet dollaps is incredible Their homemade pesto is one of the best I have ever tasted- watch out Italian restaurants!.. 10/10 recommend to everyone I ever meet Also turned my work onto them lol and now we order Joyride often as a team Keep up the great work! I will see you many more times!! PS- there is nowhere to eat inside the restaurant at the Mission / Valencia St location. There is also limited seating outside

Went here after work cause I've always passed it while walking around Valencia street and here are my thoughts: Pro's - The place had really good looking pizza options on display which had always drawn me to the place - Plenty of options for vegetarians as well - Fast service and easy to navigate screens as this place was all digital Cons - Ordered the chicken pesto pizza and it looked really good, but when biting into it, it was pretty dry and really greasy - Had garlic knots that were flavorful, but also on the dry/greasy side - Ordered a side of ranch, but when we got home, we were actually given marinara sauce (should've checked before leaving, but was too hungry to) Verdict - I would give this place a second shot and maybe try one of their classic pizzas to see how it goes then

I love the pizza from joyride. I feel like there isn't too many Detroit style pizza shops in the city and when I go to others, they don't compare to joyride in terms of taste. I would recommend the sweet Bianca which comes with fig jam on top. Also love the crispy edges! This location's service isn't the best - I tend to have to wave down any employees for support. The shop is too small to sit down and enjoy the pizza in and the overall ambiance lacks. Would be 5 stars if the service and ambiance was better.

Went here for the first time, and was very excited because they have a menu where anything can be substituted vegan. It is a kiosk order system and there is a sign that says if you want vegan or vegetarian simply substitute. I ordered the Hawaiian pizza and put a note saying "vegan please" because I could not find a sub button. When the order was ready the gentleman said "I made this one but it isn't vegan" Confused I asked if he missed the note. He said no, but you cannot order anything but an entire pie vegan. I explained that I didn't know that because it wasn't written anywhere. He shrugged and said "it isn't vegan, we won't make it vegan" I'll never go here because he was incredibly rude and dismissive of the fact that their system has poor signage and the right language. I ate at the arepa place next door. It was good.

First of all, shoutout to Joyride Pizza for being open late. I was craving some pizza but got caught up in some stuff so I wasn't able to order until almost 10pm. I opted for a doordash delivery which was incredibly convenient and it took my pizza about 15 min of drive time to arrive. - pestorrific Even after the 15 min commute, my pizza was still very warm upon arrival. All the toppings held together well and the crust was fully intact. The pizza is topped with smoked chicken, applewood smoked bacon, mozzarella, brick cheese, pesto, and ranch. This pizza is very savory, especially from the ranch and bacon so just keep that in mind. That being said, it's exactly what I wanted and the flavor of all the ingredients melded perfectly. Another thing to notice is how soft the breading/crust is. It's so airy and light which makes it significantly more manageable to eat, especially given how loaded and thick the pizza is. Realistically, you can get a full meal out of 1-2 slices which makes the value even better. The pizza also reheats very well, which I did in the oven the next day.

Not enough cheese or sausage. A lot of bread, crust is good. Too much sauce instead of toppings. For $30, I expect more sausage on the pizza. I basically got a mushroom olive pizza with 8-9 pieces of sausage. 1st impression says a lot, I was disappointed and wont be back. There are other places.

Been hearing great things about Joy Ride pizza and Detroit-style pizza in general, and it was definitely an incredibly satisfying meal. I came by at lunchtime on a Tuesday. The Valencia location is just a storefront, so I ordered to go a half pizza (comes with two hefty slices, as opposed to the full square which has 4 slices) of the Eat Your Veggies pizza. There was no line, so the server got it out to me fast. I came home to eat it, and first off, the bread thickness and crusts along the outside were phenomenal. There's a bit of cheese in the corners that makes for a salty, crunchy bite that both started and ended on a good note. The veggies - Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, tomatoes, onion - were cooked so well on top. The biggest drawback was no sauce on the pizza, which given how dry everything else was in terms of toppings, made it harder to get through. Love a greasy pizza but the sauce would helped a ton! Cost wise, it was $15 for the half pizza, so pricy for pizza but you get a lot of food too. Portion wise, I was stuffed for the rest of the day with the two slices. I will definitely return to new flavors (hopefully saucier ones lolol).
