Joyride Pizza, Union St.

Love coming here for a morning latte and pastry. The Black sesame mochi muffin is my favorite. The staff is the reason I come here multiple times a week. There are lots of places to get a latte in the area but the staff here is always in a good mood and the music is a good vibe. It's a great energy to start your day. While this is a pizza hub by lunch and dinner. This is my favorite "secret" morning latte ritual. Happy staff makes all the difference. Keep it up y'all!

This pizza shop is a must-try! Their deep dish pizza is phenomenal, with great ingredients and flavorful toppings. The chill atmosphere makes it perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommended!

Gluten free deep dish pizza?!? They have an AMAZING gluten free crust that comes as a personal or full sized pizza and you can get any of the standard or custom toppings on it. They also offer many toppings as dairy free. I’m celiac and it’s the first time I’ve had deep dish pizza in years. I ordered a full pizza for myself and it made great leftovers too. The service/management was so helpful in explaining their options and combinations. The tables and decor was great. An easy place to catch up for brunch without reservations. I think the menu could be made more clear that any of the pizza options can be done as gf.

Phenomenal pizza and great service. The Detroit style pizza with crispy cheesy edges, great toppings, highest quality ingredients. Love it. Such a great location too. BTW, pro tip, Joyride is from the former Samovar Tea owners...they still serve Samovar's Chai tea which is the best Chai you ever had.

I noticed this new location open up recently and as a lover of Joyride, I was excited. Pizza is great, as usual - to those who are new, it’s square pie style with many options (you can get personal-sized or bigger). I see they’re trying something new here and have an interesting selection of natural wines, as well. A cozy, fun, tastefully-designed, candlelit-atmosphere to sit down and enjoy pizza & wine. The staff are kind and management seems passionate about what they’re doing. I was offered to try a wine while waiting for my to-go order — it was delicious! Very fresh, juicy, somewhat tart and cherry forward (Litrozzo). I was told they’re working with Italian wineries to source their unique selections. I want to come back and soak it in, in-person next time. Thanks so much.

Delicious deep dish pizza in personal and share sizes. Fresh salads, beer and wine. (They really need iced tea). Excellent!

I think this place is ideal if you want to go out by yourself! Or maybe with some friends if you have them! It's in-between casual and formal sit-down dining which I like and it has so many options! Having a personal portion is great too! I had the Bianca and it was pretty decent!

Very tasty. But severely overpriced. $25 for a pizza that granted, is more than enough for one person, but not enough for two people. And that's the menu price. After mandates and taxes it's $29. Tasty treat. But I wouldn't do it again. Google Maps doesn't have a value category to rate so I had to out Food at 3. Realistically Food is 4.5, value is 1.

Love this new location of joy ride. Counter service restaurant with lots of options! We opted for the large pep and 1/2 dozen garlic know with salted Carmel froyo! It was really flavorful and also beautiful presentation. The pizza came out quickly and was hot!! Lots of seating inside and some outside seating. Beautifully touch with all the plants and fresh flowers. Great vibes in there! Workers were helpful and so kind to our little one. Will be coming back. Also props to them for using too good to go and cutting down on food waste!!! Love supporting good companies like this one.

The spot is super cute, clean, and has a good vibe--and the restroom was clean too, which is always a plus! The service was great, and my husband actually really enjoyed the pizza. As for me, Detroit-style pizza isn't really my thing. The sauce sitting on top instead of being baked into the crust just doesn't do it for me--I'm guessing that's part of the style, but it's not my favorite. We spent around $50 for the two of us and left still a little hungry, so I do think it's a bit pricey for the portion. The pizza looked better in the pics, but it was still decent overall. I'd probably come back if I were already in the neighborhood, but there are definitely better options and better value out there.

When I walked in the music was way too loud. I kindly asked him to turn it down and he did. Exceptional customer service Personnel was very knowledgeable and kind Explained every pizza and it's ingredients (the display case glass is curved and pizza signage is too small to read). Was a tad confused about the crust, was it or was it not Foccaccia? Yes and no, they make their own crust and it works. Asked me how my pizza was and thanked me for coming Worked behind the counter the whole time, restocking, sorting, cleaning, refreshingly ambitious. Ticket # 46 No servers name on the receipt I will be back, just as soon as I finish this piece Pestorrific Chicken n' Ranch Appreciated the crusty edges and it was not smothered in Ranch. Place is immaculate Different kind of crust, like Foccacia but they make their own. Pizza was hot, plentiful, tons of toppings and half a pie enough for 2. Very nice presentation, looked just like the display case

We first ate at another location and it was soooooo good! So we had to come back to the city and eat more! We found another branch that had nice seating and a more casual but fun place to sit and eat. This pizza was amazing!!! The service is so nice!

Tasty, a bit pricey for what you get but it IS San Fransisco. We went around 7:30pm on a Tuesday, no wait - easy to order and a reasonable wait time for food to arrive. The marinara sauce was delicious! Star drop for the price....being from a different state I still think everything in California is overpriced.

I came in after 2pm for lunch. Ordered the personal size of my pizza. They have many selections of pizza including vegan and vegetarian options. Service was great and the cashier told me it would take 10 minutes to make my pizza. Ambiance is clean, modern and surrounded by natural light!

I'm from Buffalo. I lived a mile away from The Anchor Bar who invented Buffalo wings. I can make the spot-on recipe myself. I take wings seriiousssly. When I share Joyride Pizza 's wings are legit, order them, lots of them, lots and lots. They are full of flavor, juicy and succulent. With a few sheet pizzas, you'll host a house party they'll be talking about for a long time. Joyride Pizza's Detroit-style pizza is equally taste-worthy: With a mouthwatering list of choices, it's hard to decide which pizza to order. They have salads and roast vegetables, too, and sides that include "hot honey" that I missed, mmmm. Housemade marinara, pesto ("Green Ecstasy Pesto") topped with an abundance of pepperoni or with capers, clams, tomatoes, parsley ("The Ocean Beach") we landed on the 2-piece "Smokin' Hot Mother Clucker" BBQ chicken personal pizza, all flavors of delicious: Smoky, hot, a little spicy and savory- totally unique and amazing. Enjoy the vibe with relaxing zen atmosphere in the dining room with cool jazz and world music. Clean plates, more napkins and lots of questions answered by Ever who knows a lot about his company and is really dedicated. Joyride Pizza has dairy free, vegan ("Sweet Bianca" with Tallegio, fig jam, ricotta, mozzarella and brick cheese) and gluten free options- come one, come everyone! Beer, wine and cool soda sips.

Just opened today! Another Joyride pizza shop amongst their other Bay Area stores. Nice location on Union Street with a open and airy space. Love the groovy Playlist too. Detroit-style whole pies come in personal (2 slices) or large (6 slices). Tried the mushroom sausage and it was very good. Foccacia bread crust was fantastic. En-JOY the pie-RIDE.

I visited this location after a fitness class nearby. The employee was friendly and gave me a few minutes to check out their menu. I ended up getting a pandan mochi cake and blueberry muffin. Who would've thought they'd have such interesting pastries at a pizzeria. I didn't get to try their pizzas yet, but will return for more. The ambiance was nice. The water station was really neat too.

This pizza place is great! I had the dairy free pepperoni pizza. So happy it opened next to my gym on Union. The service was good and staff . Nice to know I can grab these thick sliced pizza after my workout! See you soon!

I work next door and wanted you to try this place out. Gotta say, this place did not disappoint. The modern, yet warm and welcoming decor, the up eat music, the gracious customer service, and the amazing pizza... this place is probably going to be a favorite lunch spot. On my first visit, I tried a personal size of their sausage and mushroom, and a personal size of the fig and ricotta. Holy crap, they were both SO GOOD! Today, I'm back for another personal size sausage and mushroom, and it's all still just as good as the first time. Definitely coming back.

They just opened up on Union Street at Webster. The pizza is Detroit style meaning deep square dish this crisp crust and saucy. It's really pretty pizza, too. I feel like it's visually pleasing and delicious. It's not greasy, and it is filling. With many other pizza places all within walking distance, this is the one I really like best.

So good. They did a fab job on the inside- it's really nice. Pizza is delicious. I'm originally from Michigan so I love Detroit. This is but not as heavy or greasy-- chefs kiss. Pizza is light and airy with Detroit crust. So many unique Detroit styles to chose from and salad was fab. We were happy. Great wine selection too.

Fragrant, mouth-watering, thick Detroit-style pizza. Generous gooey cheese with pepperoni strategically placed to ensure that each bite captures a well-proportioned mixture of each flavor. The sauce is savory, very slightly chunky w bits of tomato. Staff is very friendly, helpful and kind. What a wonderful addition to the Union Street neighborhood!

Garden Goddess personal pizza with pepperoni added. SO good. the ricotta is perfect and the veggies + pesto makes this such a light yet filling meal. Loved the red onion pieces in the dough. Definitely stop by. Server had a positive attitude. The place is clean with comfortable seating and lots of natural light.

Came here specifically to try the pizza, because good pizza is few and far between in the Bay Area, but it didn't meet the mark for me. Upon walking in, it's hard to ignore the unusual interior aesthetic, it's like a 1950's diner meets an ikea. It didn't really look bad imo, but I can't argue that it looked good either. I don't usually review dining aesthetics, but it's hard to ignore this one. Not overly minimal like most places, but I'd say a little over the top. The centerpiece when walking in is the pizza display case. There were many beautiful pies, and I didn't know what to try. Unfortunately service was non existent on this day. My friend and I stood for about 3-5 minutes looking at the pizzas, and the clerk didn't bother to acknowledge as he stood in front of the cash register. It would have been nice to have some input on whats going on in the case and what's popular. After paying, we got self serve water and sat facing out the window because the busy neighborhood was more interesting than the busy interior, and our personal pizzas came out in about 10-15 minutes. The pizzas here are very aesthetically pleasing, and the cost is reasonable, but when it came to tasting the pizza, it felt like a bait and switch. Tbh I really love pizza so I'm somewhat snobby about it, but I'm still not too good for a Costco slice if that makes sense. The pizza here was not great pizza, it was not good pizza, I'd say it was okay pizza, but you can do much better for the price. I expected much better amidst the mirage going on around me. I can't say the amount of toppings were skimpy, they were fine (and I'll get back to that), but the slices were way too bready regardless of how much toppings and cheese you could pile on. In my pizza baking experience, I would say that the pizza was somewhat undercooked, it was very spongy and it lacked the flavor you get from a nicely golden crust. Though beautifully topped, the toppings didn't strike me as high quality ingredients, they were mid at best. If I was blindfolded and tasted what I ate, I would never guess it came from a place like this. It struck me as a chain type pizza place that could be in any random city in America. The cheese didn't have any distinct flavor that stood out and the pesto tasted cheap, because it was very salt and oil forward, lacking any basil taste whatsoever. My pizza was essentially a salty, oily bread sponge, but not in a good way. (It was the chicken pesto ranch slice btw.) It would have been nice if the server could have recommended something better than what I chose, but he was preoccupied. My friend got the other vegetarian pesto slice and felt pretty much the same way about the pesto and the breadyness. In conclusion, I could see some appeal to this place if you're going here to drink alcohol and need greasy bready pizza to soothe your stomach, but as someone sober it was pretty lousy pizza and wouldn't recommend coming here for just the pizza!

every time i come in here these employees find a way to mess with my order and i should probably stop coming here if it wasnt for the convenience. today i purchased a salad and a side of tater tots. why on earth would anyone want their tater tots thrown on top of their salad. and when i asked where the other box was for my tots, they said they thought i wanted it like that. its a side of tater tots. last time i ordered a greek salad they gave me a greek pizza too. so i dont know what is going on back there but i do know everyone needs to get retrained.

Came at 8:15am and was excited to try their breakfast pizza but they don't serve it until 10am. Why open early but not serve the breakfast items? Super lame.

Who knew a casual pizza place would not only offer fantastic Detroit style pizza (crispy edges, medium thick crust, delicious toppings) but surprisingly fantastic wine. This location has an elegant Aesthetic but is relaxed and comfortable. Enjoy!

So sad (and glad) these are only in San Francisco. The Cow Hollow location was very comfortable, clean and modern.

Opened the day after thanksgiving. The owner Jesse is incredibly nice, and the pizza is delicious!

Pizza is light and delicious. The pizza is well cooked. The ingredients are fresh and intentionally well placed not piled on.
