Date: Monday, December 9th, 2024 Party of: 2 Meal: Dinner Delivery Ordered via: DoorDash Time Ordered: around 7:15pm Time Arrived: about 30 mins later Delivered to: Outer Richmond *Chicken Pesto Slice ($6) *Pepperoni Mushrooms Slice ($6) *Caprese Salad Bowl ($19) *Traditional Wings ($13): 1/2lb Wings (6pc), Side Garlic Butter Sauce *Combo Classic Medium 14" - 8 Slices ($39): Jalapeño Peppers The hubby wanted pizza and asked me to pick a spot. I love variety, so typically pick places that offer slices. After looking around on DD, I picked SF Hole In The Wall Pizza. I believe I've tried slices from this location long ago, but I couldn't remember anything about the experience. Figured it was the perfect time to revisit. I ordered the salad on a whim since I wanted something a lil more on the refreshing side. Hands down, I would get this again. A super generous portion. I enjoyed the pizza slices. Especially the pesto chicken one. Good amount of chicken and pesto. The crust on both was thin, which I prefer. The chicken wings were standard. I got the sauce on the side, which ended up being a fortunate choice. (My original intention was to use it as a dip for the pizza crust while still being able to toss my wings in it.) The garlic in the sauce tasted like it was canned or jarred, so had a pickled flavor to it. Didn't have that savory comforting garlicky-ness you get from fresh garlic. I didn't try the whole pizza we ordered, but the hubs seemed to enjoy it. Great spot for pizza delivery if you want slices. If you're a fan of mozzarella with basil and tomato, I highly recommend the caprese salad. Just stay away from their garlic butter wings if you like fresh garlic. Their version has a weird sourness to it. Tho if you don't mind that, then go for it! REVIEW #3641
Had it delivered to Ocean Beach & it was still hot!! Delivery man was super polite and waited for me to run to pick up spot. Regrettably, I should've gotten 2 larges! The kids enjoyed it and definitely wanted more.
Get your calzone fix! They have a couple of premade options but go for the custom one because you get to pick 4 toppings for $14 (same price as premde ones)! The bread is soft and inside has lots of toppings. You can also pick the sauce inside! One calzone filled my sister and me up. The ends are NOT straight bread and have good fillings too! They have two sides to the restaurant where you can order in one and sit down to eat in another.
Don't the best yummy foods discovery always emerge from little shops, like veritable 'holes in the wall' type spots? Well here's one serving up all the hits of a solid pizza menu in a casual breezy style without missing a beat on great execution of fresh ingredients and excellent taste. S. F. Hole in The Wall Pizza does not just cook up pizza. You can also get salads, sandwiches, burgers, appetizers, desserts. This is one of the niftiest neighbourhood places to get pizza by the slice. Each is from a large pizza pie, and it is super yum. Shared the "pepperoni mushrooms" and the "aloha" (ham and pineapple) slices with my mother, and they were both tasty. Hole in the Wall looks deceptively tiny but there definitely is space to hang here. You can eat in the dining room or near the counter or just do take away in their adorable pizza box. Cashiers and order takers are nice. I'd go back to try other stuff on the menu. High quality eats in this little shop absolutely worth checking out when you are hankering for some pizza.
For about as long as I can remember, the space that SF Hole in the Wall Pizza calls home has always been occupied by a pizzeria. Before them, Irving Pizza was here for countless years and there may have even been another one before that. However, it's pretty safe to say that SF Hole in the Wall Pizza has been the most impressive. Besides the fact that they've expanded their dining room into the storefront next door (which says a lot already), their pizzas are actually just really, really good! Now, I have to admit - despite having passed by here numerous times, it wasn't until somewhat recently that I finally made it a point of checking out the pizzas here. No real reason as to why (other than taking them for granted), but even if there was, it would have nothing to do with the food here. Just looking at their collection of pizzas through their glass case, there's absolutely no shortage of delicious looking options to choose from - Classic Combo, Meat Lover's, BBQ Chicken, Hawaiian, Margherita, Chicken Pesto, Vegetarian, and then some. What's more, the rest of their menu is no slouch either, as they also have a wide variety of appetizers, calzones, sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, and desserts. -- COMBO CLASSIC - Marinara, Salami, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Red Onions, and Italian Sausage (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sf-hole-in-the-wall-pizza-san-francisco-3?select=Tha-JKWVdKuylq1QhSsx2Q) Standard, but in a good way (it's what you would expect). Despite not being very unique, there was a fair, and balanced, amount of toppings on the slice and it wasn't overpowered by the sauce. Hard to go wrong with this one! -- MEAT LOVERS CLASSIC - Marinara, Salami, Pepperoni, Ham, Bacon, and Italian Sausage (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sf-hole-in-the-wall-pizza-san-francisco-3?select=zz4pUdhQa5wSvqCd437eyQ) As much as I love veggies on my pizza, this is by far my favorite here! Not only is it loaded with a generous amount of delicious meat, but it's not all that heavy or greasy either, which is surprising in the best way possible. -- CHICKEN PESTO - Pesto Sauce, Roasted Chicken (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sf-hole-in-the-wall-pizza-san-francisco-3?select=Xel0VN_oNeFvUb_enJC5MA) Admittedly, I've only tried a few Chicken Pesto pizzas out there, but this is one of the best I've had. The pieces of chicken are meaty, but the pesto sauce is what makes this pizza - flavorful, but not super herbaceous. In addition to how good the pizzas taste, the other thing I like about SF Hole in the Wall is how friendly the staff is. If not for the worker mentioning it to me, I never would've known about their happy hour special and how I could get a soda or beer with my $7 slice (it's been a while, so the price might have changed, assuming they still even offer this). Pretty awesome of them! Plus, it doesn't hurt that this place is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights (not that I'm still out that late these days). Regardless, this just might be my new go-to spot for pizza on this side of the city/in the Sunset! Now, I've just got to figure out how to get myself to bypass their pizzas and try one of their sandwiches or calzones instead...
When my brother has a request, I listen. And generally am open to it so long as I didn't have a negative experience or heard about one from someone I know about a business. He mentioned this pizzeria which wasn't on my radar. He mentioned New York style pizza which piqued my interest. After all, I've been Yelping for a little while and rarely see it specified like that. With a busy Saturday schedule, I noticed the restaurant recommends ordering online for takeout orders so I placed mine early that morning for a 5:30 pm pick up. Later that morning, I got a text message that my pizza was ready, causing me to call the restaurant to confirm that I was coming at 5:30 pm. The kind young lady apologized and confirmed that the text was in error. Running errands in another part of the Sunset District, I got here about five minutes early, finding a parking space around the block on 20th Avenue. Walking by, I noticed the business occupies two spaces in addition to having an outdoor dining parklet off the curb. I looked at the signs and veered right in giving my name and telephone number to verify my order. A young lady (same who answered the phone?) asked me to step to the side as they put my order together. I was in and out of here within 5-7 minutes. Here's what we tried: 1. Green salad bowl (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=umRIlV6_DT8Ks6pl26O_Qg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, extra one and put on the side) - It was a good assortment of lettuce (butter, Romaine, and iceberg), cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, black olives, and croutons; it came with a balsamic vinaigrette which a requested a 2nd container since my family likes a heavier handed dressed salad. I liked the variety of the ingredients and the portion was enough to feed four easily. 2. No Hangover Aloha pizza, medium (14") (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=_ghCx-OM0N5G6e0l2zVcrA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - .Marinara, ham, bacon, pineapples, and jalapeno peppers. It was too spicy for my mom's palate and my brother tolerated the heat on this for the 1st slice but found it too spicy for future meals. I enjoyed the contrast of the spicy acid from the peppers being offset by the sweetness from the pineapple and the savoriness from the ham and bacon. 3. Combo classic, large (16" (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=53Cpet0Rz02D2CtrgwZTyQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - Marinara, salami, pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, red onions, and Italian sausage. This is a more traditional pizza combination and there was a good of toppings which are what I usually enjoy the most. My comment on both pizzas about the crust is that they were solid, not really thick or thin and a bit more on the cracker like texture. The two people of helped me, the guy behind the counter and the young lady on the side, were very helpful and courteous. With a couple of other customers coming in to pick up their orders, I was able to get my order and leave within 6-7 minutes. I asked for packets of cheese and chili flakes which the lady said was already in each pizza box. Unlike my expectations from speaking with my brother (New York style, he said), the pizzas were not as he described. I enjoyed the salad and the pizzas and, surprisingly, to me they were even better in the next few days when I reheated slices for my family and me. I will be back when my brother mentions it again or if in the neighborhood. As mentioned in other reviews, a big plus is that they offer slices at the counter too.
