Escape From New York Pizza

Solid slice of pepperoni pizza. The slice is thin but holds up sturdily with one hand. It isn’t too greasy (blessing and curse) and the crust has a nice flavor (subtle sweetness). The worker was very polite and friendly. Sort of pricey, but welcome to San Francisco. Admittedly didn’t like that when using a credit card, you have to choose a tip value, or manually input no tip.

Non greasy pizza with unique combination options. I like the Miss Figgy because it’s flavor combination is uncommon and delicious. The New York Pesto Chicken is also a favorite of ours too. The crust can be on the thick side but I prefer that. This is not your traditional Italian pizza but it’s a pizza I do crave and keep coming back for. The XL is huge and we enjoy the leftovers throughout the week.

Best pizza on the Haight. Say no more! Limited street parking. Limited seating. But...Definitely worth it! I do not know how EFNYP creates such wonderful and delicious pizza. I'm thinking they must be importing the water from NY for the pizza dough. I have never seen, heard of or even thought of combining potatoes and pesto...it works!...extremely well! -renaygarseeya

Although the PIZZA was Great The only thing that keep coming to my mind was ”OUT OF EVERY BODY BEHIND THE COUNTER, THERE WAS ONE GUY THAT I THINK MIGHT NEED A SHOW OF SUPPORT. So to SHOW SUPPORT by try My Favorite toping witch was POTATO, HOLE GARLIC CLOVES, and GRILLED ONION. Don't forget to wash that Delicious Slice Down with the BEVERAGE Of YOUR CHOICE.... And THANK YOU For your SUPPORT.

Thought about rating 4 stars, only because they do not offer beer, but changed my mind because they recommended that we walk across the street and grab whatever we wanted from the liquor store. This place does feel like a typical NY pizza joint, right in the heart of Haight. It’s got that gritty street vibe, with amateur photos of all the celebs that have walked through the door and had a slice of their pie. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had potato pizza, though they should add some Gorgonzola cheese (or more of it). Tasty pizza, quick and convenient, no fuss. Just a good old fashion pizza joint that sticks to doing what they do best. It’s the only pizza we had while in SF, so I can’t say if it’s the best, but I will happily go back. And it’s next to Amoeba Music, so win-win.

This was the 1st place my girlfriend and I ate at, on our first trip to San Francisco. We were told to check out Haight street, that it was worth visiting, so we gave it a shot. Upon walking in, this place felt very casual and welcoming, with a delicious aroma, that made both of our mouths water immediately. We walked up to the counter and asked the gentleman what he recommended. While I like meats on pizza and my girlfriend being almost vegan, we had different ideas on what we might order. The recommendation? He suggested that we try the potato and garlic pizza. We decided to get a slice of that, a veggie one as well, and finally a mushroom slice. All 3 were very delicious & we quickly inhaled all 3 slices, rotating which one we took a bite of, each time. While the mushroom was one of my favorite (familiar) flavors, it was still extremely delicious & I would return to just eat that, if that was all they had. That being said, the veggie slice was extremely flavorful & could have been the only slice we ordered, and still been very happy. The major surprise, to both of us, was how tasty the potato and garlic pizza was. I knew there must be something to it, for the recommendation, but wow, it was good. The staff was also very friendly and offered to help and answer any questions we had, and gave us the parmesan & peppers, in quantity, we had enough for all 3 slices. We thoroughly enjoyed the pizza & service & would come back, the next time we visit San Francisco.
