  Located in the middle of Hayes Valley, near the Patricia's Green Park. We like to stop for a slice or two of formaggio pizza (cheese) and funghi pizza (Cremini mushroom). These two are my favorite ones with a little preference for the mushroom pizza which is less greasy. The crust is
  They have 2 small tables and you can seat at the window if you are lucky enough. Otherwise, there's plenty of seats at the park if the weather is nice. They have a pick up and delivery option too.
  
  I am 100% recommend this place !

  I'm obsessed with this pizzeria!
  
  Stopped in after meeting a few friends for some wine in Hayes (Fig & Thistle to be exact) and was blown away by how tasty the pizza was! Everything looked so good but I ended up going with the mushroom and was totally blown away. My boyfriend got the salsiccia and was also super impressed. This is such a great addition to the neighborhood (esp a great place to stop by for a slice post-cocktail). Slices were $4.25. Can't wait to go back to try the other types of pizza!

  OVERPRICED pizza.
  This was the only decent go to place in the area late at night. Pizza is very greasy, but taste just okay.
  
  There is decent amount of seating place for a to go place restaurant in San Francisco. Service is fast and pizza is fresh and ready to go.

  What I got:
  Meatball parm sandwich
  
  What I thought:
  This review is strictly on the meatball sandwich alone. I have yet to try the pizza here, but after trying the sandwich I'm not sure I ever will.
  
  Aren't you usually suppose to be able to eat sandwiches with your hands? The meatball sandwich was an absolute mess. It was less of a sandwich and more of a meatball with bread and marinara sauce casserole. It was a big difficult navigating through the sandwich and telling what the heck I was eating. Cheese was all over. sauce was all over, and I would get the occasional bite of meatball. It was mainly sauce, cheese and soggy bread to be honest.
  
  I was excited to eat here since I pass by on my way home from the gym all the time, but have to safe I am extremely disappointed.
  
  Hopefully their pizza is better.

  Pretty dang delicious!
  
  Walked by and noticed they had a weekend meatball pizza special which immediately sold my friend and me. A 14" pie comes with 6 pieces so you essentially get a "free" slice if you were to order 6 separately. They do not do half and half though. Ours came to about $26 after tip and was delivered to us piping hot straight from the oven. Not giving the pie that chance to settle, we immediately grabbed stools, burnt the roofs of our mouths, and enjoyed every minute of it.
  
  The meatball pizza featured chunky pieces of housemade meatballs, a sprinkling of fresh basil, and ample gooey hot cheese. The tomato sauce was fresh and bright, not too pasty nor too liquidy. And did I mention the cheese was hot and gooey? Yes? Well, it's the best! And overall, the slice has a nice crunchy/crispiness to it. The only downer was that the crust was pretty dry which stinks cause if you'd read enough of my pizza reviews, you'd know that I LOVE crust.
  
  Nonetheless, it was still a solid pizza and I wouldn't hesitate to come again!
