Pizza Joint & Grill

Just awful. The one thing a pizza joint needs to be able to do is deliver a pizza. Shouldn’t be hard, right? These guys are about the least reliable in all of San Francisco. I honestly don’t even know if the food is good or not. But even a bad pizza is better than no pizza.

When I first saw some of these reviews I was annoyed, haters, I thought… I have them a few chances, their bbq chicken is frkn disgusting, their delivery sucks, I live 1 mile away. Took them 1 hr 20 min to deliver one milk shake that I was forced to pay for, I can drink hot milk anywhere… why pay $ 4, plus delivery fee and tip for these ppl… what a joke.

When you look at the pizza joints menu, it’s pretty huge! But it also causes you to take caution on how well each order is made. I for one do not care what I eat if there is alcohol in my system, so ordering from the pizza joint was a pretty easy call.
Now I must warn you, this place is pretty inconsistent and often late with their deliveries but they do have a decent pizza and some pretty sweet appetizers. Just DONT order from this place too often. Each time I got their popcorn chicken it’s been a different flavor and texture. Also, it might be a better idea to pick up your food

The haters gonna hate — Pizza Joint is not a fancy schmancy place, but the pizza is dece! Better than anything you’d order from Pizza Hut or Papa Johns or whatever huge, national chain you’re familiar with.
Pizza Joint pizza is good for two primary occasions: (1) Pizza to eat at home on your couch watching the game, and/​or (2) Drunk food. The crust is good, thick and chewy. The BBQ chicken is damn tasty. Heck yes, the pizza is cheesy and greasy yet delicious — sometimes you just need that.

This pizza place should burn down. Please burn down. 2 hours for a pizza? and it was ice cold… How can you expect me to be happy?
I should of just ordered Papa Johns or worst Dominos…

I got 2 slices for lunch.
They have a huge list of topping combinations, many of which are nontraditional and very California-​pizza-​style. The 2 slices I chose were both around $ 4.50 apiece.
It took a *long* time for them to be prepared. The woman behind the counter was pleasant and apologetic. My soda took around 8 minutes.
The food itself was pretty bad. Unlike traditional by-​the-​slice places, they apparently bake the crusts, cut it up, then top and rebake them. The result was very crispy and dry, with a ton of not-​great-​tasting cheese on top. There were plenty of toppings, but I could barely taste them.
One slice would have been plenty. I regret eating the 2^nd one.
Scout’s honor: I would have preferred frozen pizza.

Delivery said 1 hour took them 2 hours to come, pizza came cold. Bad service. Hopefully they fix there delivery system up, because it leaves you waiting for the longest

Found this hole in the wall back in January 2012 when my wife and I were in San Francisco. We were driving down Mission Street when she said «I want pizza.» The Pizza Joint & Grill was the answer. We liked it so much we had to visit again in September 2014.
The ingredients are high quality, with the cheese being the hero of the pizza.
We ordered PJ’s special this time around and the only complaint we had was that the garlic pieces were still kinda raw and therefore overpowering. Otherwise a great pie. We fully intend to find them the next time we come to San Francisco.

Absolutely goddamn terrible. 0 stars. This place sucks. I thought the menu looked great so i ordered for delivery at 8:56pm. They said they would call when they were here. I waited til 1030 then called again to see where the order was they said it was out for delivery. I called back at 1120 and i told the girl that i wanted to just cancel my order since its been 2.5 hours and the CUNT hung up on me. I called my bank and said to stop payment. I hope this piece of shit establishment burns to the ground. Terrible service, no phone call and i didnt even get to taste their shitty pizza. I dont care how late they are open, i would rather starve to death or eat dog shit off the sidewalk before i EVER give them another dime.
I got my money back at least and im still hungry.
DO NOT GO HERE, SAVE YOURSELF THE SHITTY SERVICE. Fuck you pizza joint idiots. I hope everybody reads this.

Everything is YUMMMMM .
I order here almost 4 times a week. The employees are also very friendly ! I highly recommend this place

As others have said a dive pizza spot, but it’s open late (3am, 7 days a week), takes credit card, and can get you a slice quick. If you’ve had a few beers, or did last night, it might just be exactly what you’re looking for.
The pizza is a thicker pan style (growing up in Chicago, I prefer my pizza a little differently, thin or deep dish), but it works.
We got a couple slices, veggie and Hawaiian. Both were decent with a good proportion of sauce to cheese to toppings.
Know what your getting into when you go to Pizza Joint, but depending on your mood, condition, and time of day, it may be the solution to all of your problems
Cheers guys!

New cook who’s food taste amaaaaazing… New crew new attitude!

Nice to know they allow shitty racist comedians talking crap about Latinos… in a densely populated Latino area aka MISSION.
Pizza is ok but their comedians need to stick to their day job.
Hijo de putos.

Dive spot pizza joint close the Cesar Chavez
Definitely a ghetto pizza joint. Ordered the Hawaiian pizza — DAmn, haven’t seen a more divey slice of pizza in ma life! The whole slice is «swallowed» by a thick lump of cheese. Sure, it’s got the occasional slices of ham and pineapple, but there was more cheese on that pizza than bread. I might as well be eating pure cheese.
There was also an open mic thing at night, where the occasional gangsta-​wannabe teens go in and «freestyle» rap. Some folks decide to try their luck and do standup comedy, trying to see which jokes «sticks» and which doesn’t.
If experimental rap and raw, un-​refined jokes are your thang, this is the place to go in the middle of the night!

Pro-​Tip: if you are a whiny Mission hipster that is looking to complain about how long it took to get your $ 2.50 slice and then screw over a restaurant that’s run by really nice people with a one star review on Unilocal,you should probably consider a diet richer in bullets. Remember, they are also gluten free!
Now, if you like pizza: they got that. It’s pretty good. Especially with several $ 3 beers.
If you want something magical to fill your complaint-​hole: check out the Tornadoes. They are like love wrapped in bliss deep fried in happiness. Add ranch and you have a religious experience to go with the possible heartburn. Whatever. Cowgirl-​up and get some Prilosec. Love hurts.

I came here alone.
I left with a heart full of love, lifetime friends and acid reflux.
I was waiting to meet what I thought were «homies» at a nearby bar, but they were running late. I got hungry. I got lonely. I got myself some pizza.
It was, by all accounts, just a slice of pizza. But something inside of it, changed something inside of me. You know that song «Hero» by Mariah Carey? imagine that in food form. all up in your mouth. I still get tears thinking about it, months later.
A hero lies in YOU. It does when you go to pizza joint.
Do you know what a snow bunny is? Well I do, because I met Rok and Sylvia while I waited for my slice. he was a stylish short black man with a penchant for pulling up his pants and fiddling with his beautiful rose gold watch and she was a tall, curvaceous –nay– rubinesque young woman who nonetheless seemed very staunch in the pursuit of physical fitness. I could tell because she was wearing yoga pants of some kind and had marks on her hands and arms that could only have come from engaging in some serious sport or exercise. that girl, she was a snow bunny, they explained to me.
I could go on and on about how much fun, food and dare I say– love I consumed that day at Pizza Joint, but I’ll just say this: the menu’s options are rivaled only by the opportunity for finding spiritual elevation. parking is easy if you don’t drive. Also they have comedy shows there on Tuesdays now I think.

I was between a 3 and 4… so probably balances out as a 3.5, but closer to a 4 than 3.
The pizza came hot and fresh, which honestly doesn’t happen with many of the places you order from around here. The crust was really yummy, doughy, and tasted close to Papa Johns. (really, it is the closest I have found to Papa Johns crust).
Sauce was pretty good, not tin’y, like some can be. I am not a huge red sauce fan, but they didn’t overdo it.
We did salami and mushroom… would’ve liked more mushrooms, but the salami was very flavorful.
Prices were pretty decent, with quite a few coupon deals to choose from.
The delivery time did take quite a while, about an hour and a half… however it also listed this on Eat24, (it listed 2 hours), so I guess it prepared me… if I were really hungry, I probably would have been annoyed like the others too, though.

The only thing around that’s open til 3am, and bless their little hearts for it.
The pizza’s a touch old, but it’s reheated and crispy. Also, it’s not like it’s a 5-​star dining experience. You’re likely unable to walk in a straight line, much less decipher the flavor notes of the crust. In other words: don’t expect greatness, it’s late-​night eats.
And for less than $ 5 a slice, it works for me.

Like a number of others here, I waited over two hours for a pizza.
After I ordered and we had waited one hour, I called EAT24 to follow up, they said it was on the way, 20 mins. Acceptable. No complaint about that.
HOWEVER
30 min later I called again and was told «10 minutes»
THEN
40 min after that, I called EAT24 and they said they spoke to them, they were so sorry, etc and it would be 15 more minutes. I warned that if they didn’t arrive within 10 minutes, we would cancel.
THEN
20 min later, the driver calls me and says he’s so sorry, etc and that he was around the corner. Figuring he was telling the truth, I consented and I told HIM, «10 minutes or don’t bother»
THEN
20 min after that, I called EAT24 and cancelled and we split.
THEN, UNBELIEVABLY
In the next hour which followed, I received 7 phone calls from the driver and manager, and finally blocked their numbers. Later that afternoon, a third number called me (which I very easily traced to the business).
BEING THAT
The only reason we go to restaurants is to be served because, for all intents and purposes, everyone can cook and most do.
I CONCLUDE
This places fails because it simply doesn’t serve the food you order, it only promises to.
I ASK YOU
How isn’t that a total fail?

You have to rate restaurants in the context that you’re looking to eat their food. This is not a fancy gourmet pizza place — don’t expect ultra-​yuppie Neapolitan pizza like Delfina. Don’t expect fancy organic local ingredients like Pauline’s. Don’t expect deep-​dish pizza that President Obama gets when he’s here like Little Star. (NOTE: those are all good places!)
Instead, expect an extremely solid, relatively inexpensive, huge, crispy, hot, filling, made-​to-​order slice, with your choice of toppings, at a restaurant that’s open till 3 AM, and has some TVs for the five minute wait between when you order and when they finish making your slice.
They’re always basically empty, probably because all the gentrification doesn’t go further south on Mission Street than 24^th Street BART — trust me, this is a late night eatery that should be on your list.
The people who take your order are basically always friendly, especially considering that they have to deal with the demands of the homeless and the rich entitled drunks — and I don’t know which group is worse.
NOTE: when I say «made-​to-​order slice» I mean that they par-​bake slices to halfway cooked, and then when you place an order, add the toppings, more cheese, and finish them off for you.
