- pizzaI found it to be the best place to grab pizza in the downtown San Francisco area, and likely the best price I've encountered. They offer a great variety of pizza flavors, all of which I enjoyed. A particularly good deal is the 'deal of the day' which includes 2 pizzas and a soda for $11 plus tax, with an option to upgrade to a beer for a small additional cost.

- crustI found the slice to be very, very solid. The high quality ingredients and delicious crust were standout features. It’s great to see more places like this opening up here in San Francisco.

- pizzaI've been there twice since they took over Orgasmica's space because I work a block away and crave a slice of pie from time to time. Both times it was barely warm, very lacking on toppings, and very bland. The staff wasn't exactly rude but acted like I was bothering them asking about when the pies were cooked (looked like it had been sitting there a while).

If you're craving a good slice, especially with unique flavor profiles and quality ingredients, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful that some experiences mention issues with food temperature or consistency, so set your expectations accordingly.

- serviceMy 5-year-old son wanted a slice of pizza, so I decided to grab one along with a beer. The pizza was tasty, and the service was friendly and fast. While it's American-style pizza, the atmosphere was enhanced by the oldschool rock hits they played, which is why I'm giving it 5 stars.

- entire restaurantMy bosses tasked me with finding a place to hold a reception in the Financial District for a conference, and after contacting many places, Gina, the owner of Gochees Pizza, truly came through for us! We were able to take over the entire restaurant, purchased a catering package for 100 people, and she even provided a flat rate on beer, wine, sodas, and teas. Everyone loved the party; they are still talking about it and say it was the best party of the entire conference.

If youre looking for a place with a generally good atmosphere, often described as having a "nicer vibe" and good decor, its definitely worth checking out. Just be aware that some have found it a bit loud, and there might be occasional cleanliness issues, so manage your expectations if you're sensitive to noise.

How are the prices at Gochees?
Expect to pay about 19 per person, based on 9 reviews. That places it in the $11–$20 category. For a Pizzeria, it’s fair – not the cheapest, but reasonable for quick bites.
Most guests seem to land in that $11–$20 sweet spot, though we do see a few folks spending less and one going for a more premium experience. Since were working with just 9 reviews, its a good indication, but keep in mind the data is a bit limited.
This chart shows what people usually spend per person, using the 9 most recent reviews. While the data is limited, it gives a good indication of the spending patterns.
A look at how this restaurant’s value for money compares to similar spots in San Francisco.

Delicious Pizza and Great Atmosphere!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the chicken, bacon & ranch slice and a draft beer. The pizza was absolutely delicious and reminded me of the Orgasmic pizza.
The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated 5/5, and the food received a perfect score of 5/5. The service was equally impressive, also rated 5/5.
