Joyride Pizza - Yerba Buena Gardens

I am not a huge pizza lover but every year I’m in town this place closes because the companies who are part of the conference buy it out for a whole week. This year I made it my mission. I actually got there right as they were going to close to the public for the week but I didn’t know it because they treated me so well. They took my order and let me sit inside and not once did I feel rushed to leave. When I realized it was just me and they weren’t taking more orders for the day I tried to hurry and they told me not to rush. True hospitality. I stuck with the classic pepperoni and was not disappointed; if all pizza tasted like their pizza I would definitely be a pizza lover. I look forward to making this place my first stop in years to come!

Just had the best pizza of my life! I love that we found a random restaurant in SF and it was amazing.

This place is so cute and in such a nice location that I would definitely come again! We had a party of 4 and were seated immediately at 3 pm on a Friday afternoon. Food: We got the iron goddess of mercy and the mochi platter and the scone platter. The tea pots are a good value because you can keep filling up the pot with hot water and it lasts the whole meal! The mochi platter was the star of the meal and definitely a really nice unique dish! It had a good amount to share for 4 people and a chewy flakey consistency. The scones were also good to share and the strawberry jam and honey were my favorite! Service: Definitely really good and the waiter kept coming around to refill our hot water! Ambiance: A really nice place to chill and catch up with friends! We liked the outdoor seating fa

Delish pizza- was at a conference and walked upstairs to grab a bite in the sunshine surrounded by beautiful gardens. Danny is the best- he takes excellent care of customers- if I could give this location ten stars I would!

Wow! Had no idea it was the old Samovar place until I walked up to Yerba Buena gardens. It's right over the waterfall and always offered stunning views of the park and plenty of outdoor seating places. The full glass windows also adds a nice transition to the outdoors. The owners have done a great job transforming the space to a Detroit-style pizza joint. This is my first time trying Detroit-style pizza, and I loved the square slices. I ordered the Sweet Heat Pineapple, and it was so tasty. The hot honey caramelized the crust, and it was a delicious salty-sweet experience. I don't care what people say - pineapples deserve to be on pizzas! The woman working the counter was very nice, and she accommodated the lunch hour crowd well. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!
