- crustAs someone from the Mid-Atlantic region who has tried many supposedly "authentic" New York-style pizza places, I can confidently say that this unassuming, hype-free shop serves the most authentic NY pizza I've found. It boasts a much better, firmer crust than my previous second favorite, Arinnel.

Frequently criticized
- customer serviceHowever, my pizza was a bit on the cold side. The woman answering the phones and serving takeouts seemed frazzled and lacked customer service. I saw her grab my pizza from off the top of the oven, not from the regular holding area, suggesting it was ready much earlier than quoted.
- employeesthe employees don't even know what goes into their own food
- serviceI ordered the Al Pastor pizza through DoorDash, but it arrived missing the promised guac, salsa, sour cream, and sauces. When I called to address the issue, they left me hanging, providing no resolution.

- employeethe employee lied to my face
- hoursI like this place for neighborhood pizza, but they really need to update their hours. I’ve been there way too many times where both Google and their online order system says they’re open only to be told they will be opening three hours later at 4 by the taqueria people.
- late nightlate night is a no-go
- lunchtimelunch time is a no-go
Overall, service here is a bit of a gamble. You might encounter incredibly friendly and quick staff, or you could face rude employees and long waits. If youre looking for consistent, top-notch service, you might want to temper your expectations, but theres potential for a great experience.

So, theres a nice mix of options, from budget-friendly slices to perhaps a more elaborate meal.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 13 reviews.

Pricey but Convenient Pizza Slices
The prices are a bit high; a slice costs $6 plus taxes and tips. However, each variety has the same price, which in a way makes it convenient. Otherwise, it's a normal pizza slice for San Francisco.

Pizza Saved a Disastrous Salad Experience
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative, primarily due to the Greek salad I ordered. The staff seemed uninformed about the ingredients in their own dishes, beyond pizza. To make matters worse, they were out of cucumber and balsamic vinaigrette.
An employee even lied, claiming to add balsamic vinaigrette when the container clearly indicated Italian dressing. The cheese used was either not feta or of very poor quality, which was frankly gross. The situation deteriorated further with the use of bare hands and dirty surfaces by the staff.
Additionally, grilled corn, which is not an ingredient in any of their salads, was added to my order. Instead of addressing the missing items, the employee cut up three tomatoes, despite my request for more lettuce. While the pizza itself was good, the overall service and salad preparation were extremely disappointing.
The employee in charge needs significant retraining as they were clearly confused on multiple levels.

Great Staff and Pizza!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the pizza was absolutely great. I also enjoyed the unique atmosphere, which offered a nice mix of Italian and Latin American vibes, partly thanks to the neighboring El Capitan Taqueria.
