Escape From New York Pizza

Funky locals spot! Great vibe and music, serving loads of people by the slice. Not the best pizza, cheese and pepperoni lack a little zing and flavah, but really no biggie, get in get out quick and easy.

Thought about rating 4 stars, only because they do not offer beer, but changed my mind because they recommended that we walk across the street and grab whatever we wanted from the liquor store. This place does feel like a typical NY pizza joint, right in the heart of Haight. It’s got that gritty street vibe, with amateur photos of all the celebs that have walked through the door and had a slice of their pie. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had potato pizza, though they should add some Gorgonzola cheese (or more of it). Tasty pizza, quick and convenient, no fuss. Just a good old fashion pizza joint that sticks to doing what they do best. It’s the only pizza we had while in SF, so I can’t say if it’s the best, but I will happily go back. And it’s next to Amoeba Music, so win-win.

I am actually from the City of Chicago so we have a right to be Pizza snobs !!! The crust was very nice. I could tell the ingredients were good. But there was no flavor and when I asked them if they had any garlic seasoning they didn't. Unfortunately the majority of the food that I partook of in San Francisco was very bland. If you're going to travel there you need to have " hot sauce in your bag swag". Lol The photo is of this funky shop next door to Escape from New York Pizza

This was the 1st place my girlfriend and I ate at, on our first trip to San Francisco. We were told to check out Haight street, that it was worth visiting, so we gave it a shot. Upon walking in, this place felt very casual and welcoming, with a delicious aroma, that made both of our mouths water immediately. We walked up to the counter and asked the gentleman what he recommended. While I like meats on pizza and my girlfriend being almost vegan, we had different ideas on what we might order. The recommendation? He suggested that we try the potato and garlic pizza. We decided to get a slice of that, a veggie one as well, and finally a mushroom slice. All 3 were very delicious & we quickly inhaled all 3 slices, rotating which one we took a bite of, each time. While the mushroom was one of my favorite (familiar) flavors, it was still extremely delicious & I would return to just eat that, if that was all they had. That being said, the veggie slice was extremely flavorful & could have been the only slice we ordered, and still been very happy. The major surprise, to both of us, was how tasty the potato and garlic pizza was. I knew there must be something to it, for the recommendation, but wow, it was good. The staff was also very friendly and offered to help and answer any questions we had, and gave us the parmesan & peppers, in quantity, we had enough for all 3 slices. We thoroughly enjoyed the pizza & service & would come back, the next time we visit San Francisco.
