Escape From New York Pizza

Potato pizza! That is all.You're welcome Seriously though, I remember the first time I had it, my girlfriend brought it over and I'm a meat loving carnivore; potato pizza?!?! Well, this pesto based, vegetarian delight introduced diced me to a whole new spectrum of flavors. Mind is blown. Whole roasted garlic, thinly sliced potatoes and all the secret ingredients... glass of Chardonnay... you get it.

Someone at O'Reilly raved about this pizza spot so we went and it ended up being pretty damn good. Supposed to be new york style pizza (one of many in the area).Note to anyone looking for it, there's no bathrooms in there. It's a pretty small shop with just a couple of tables. There's limited flavours and toppings but they got the crust right The potato pizza was pretty good. I appreciated that it wasn't overly greasy like a lot of other late night pizza places. The roasted garlic was a godsend-it added so much flavour to the otherwise pretty bland pizza. It wasn't red sauce based. There was some green pesto like oil on top for extra flavour. The potato pieces were sorta on the thicker side but they were cooked to perfection, not too mouth drying.

Delicious pizza, great vibe and love everything about this place. People are warm and friendly. One comment though, the potato on the pizza was a little heavy.

Being from Jersey, I'm always on the search for some good pizza that reminds me of home. I was walking by this place and the aroma reminded me of east coast pizza so I had to go in. Walking in you would see it's a nice sized pizzeria that has a small bar area, with a decent beer and wine selection. My partner and I were greeted by a friendly guy, he told us about their specialty pizzas of the month and I was sold. I was going to just get a pepperoni slice but the "Lucia" specialty pizza just sounded too good and he was going to make a fresh batch so that made it more enticing! Pizza was indeed delicious, as a fan of both cubano sandwiches and pizza, chef executed it perfectly! Definitely will come back.

There are a couple slices houses along Haight, but this one is my favorite. I dream about their potato garlic pizza. It's also the perfect snack when you've done the circuit of shops along Haight St. It's a generous slice for about $6-8. Not a meal, but the best snack this side of Haight. Classic NY style flat pizza. Their pepperoni and mushroom slices are also excellent. Service is fast and efficient and the staff are always friendly. Shop is clean, with some great memorabilia on the walls, especially a sweet note from some kids who used to go to EFNY as students, who are now grown (keep an eye out for it)! Note that they do charge for to-go boxes, so I personally always prepare to eat it there. It's best enjoyed hot anyway!

I was craving some pizza and came across this place while exploring ashbury Haight area. I got the pesto slice and it was very good. Thin crispy crust. It was a true NY pizza. My husband got a loaded one. He really enjoyed it too. I will definitely come back again.

One of the first things you'll notice about this place is that the pizza slices are freakin huge ! Because of that though, I think I remember them costing about $6-$7 a slice, which I still think is kind of a lot because you can get a giant slice of pizza from Costco for like a 1/3 of that price. In any case, they did have unique toppings that you don't really see much anywhere else. There also is not much indoor or outdoor seating and the decoration is somewhat grunge-y. Service was okay, just people trying to do their job. However, even with little seating, they are somewhat close to Golden Gate Park. You could get some slices to go and then picnic in the park or something. I don't think I personally would come back to the city for this as I no longer live in SF, but if my husband and I were passing through and he were craving pizza, I would totally try to stop by this place again !

On my last night in San Francisco, I was exhausted and wanted to treat myself to one of my guilty pleasures: eating takeout in a hotel bed. I know, it sounds silly but try it and tell me you don't feel like the epitome of luxury. A few limitations, however. It was getting late and I'm also gluten free. Luckily, Escape from New York Pizza was still delivering and had gluten free crust. I quickly ordered a 14 inch GF pepperoni pizza which came out to about $30 before all the taxes, fees, service charges, etc. It was delivered on time and still hot. It was delicious! The crust was thin, the sauce was fairly sweet, and I had no trouble almost finishing the entire thing by myself. I definitely recommend this spot for late night food, especially if you're craving pizza sans gluten.

I love a NY pizza spot and i'm glad we stumbled on this one walking around Haight-Ashbury. The prices are very reasonable and the slices are soooooo good! I love the fun, artsy decor inside and the service was great as well!

Delicious pizzq on the block!! great people working daily, staff is always awesome! A must stop when it's late at night
