Friendly staff, solid pizza that’s priced similarly to any other place nearby that sells Sicilian-style / grandma-style pizza.

Get the Canadian Tuxedo. I could eat it every day. We usually get takeout from here maybe once a week. It travels well but it’s even more amazing in person.

I like saucy pizza, which is why I like Heshers. We were first introduced to the pizza when we used to come to crooked city cider. Now heshers has taken over the whole building in a prime area of Jack London Square. We came at opening time, 12 PM on a rainy Saturday for a friends birthday. Because it is a rainy weekend we had to change our outdoor plans and this is a great location for a large group with dogs who can hang out indoors. Also great because you order at the counter and don't have to deal with a group check mess. We ordered our drinks at the counter, and some people who were able to try small tastings if they were unsure of what to order. Pizza was ordered at the window in the corner and brought out to us according to our numbers. The staff was accommodating to our large group, and we were the only ones there until a Meetup took over the other half of the restaurant with their boardgames. There are also tons of boardgames in the cabinet that you can play and pinball machines in their own separate area, along with the pool table. Great place to keep entertained while enjoying your pizza, beer, wine, cider, kombucha, or nonalcoholic beverage. There is a water station right behind the cashier. There are two unisex restrooms, straight back. They have the little locks that tell you if they are in use or vacant, which is very helpful. They also do some heavy metal concerts here, which my husband was very excited about when he saw the listings for them. While we were there, the music was not very loud so we were able to chat freely. There are metered parking, free parking streets, or it is a walk down from 12th St. BART. They used to have a free Broadway shuttle, I'm not sure if that's still exists Join their social media pages and you'll be informed of special events, concerts, trivia, bingo, and what not. Our vegan friend is very happy that they have a vegan pizza option here. There is something for everyone! You can help bus your tables by taking empty glasses to the front and the rest of the trash area. There are benches in the front that you can hang out at if it's a nice day out.

Absolutely love this pizza. If I lived on this side of the bay, I'd be coming here regularly. Pinball games have a nice selection and the taproom doesn't only offer cider!

Went for lunch on a Wednesday and got Hinterlander and a rootbeer. Food came pretty quick (only a couple of other people there) and the pizza was delish. Sitting on the high table and watching Wayne's world on mute on the big screen was just the break I needed on hump day. Lots of stuff to look at, and some creative pies that I want to try sometime. On the way out I saw the music calendar for the Ivy Room on the wall, which is another place I love. Overall I could see the effort put into the ambiance and it works. But honesty I would still come here if they shoved the pizza at me through a hole in the wall...it's pretty good.

We've had pizza here a few times and it's soooo freaking good. Just go and get it, you won't be disappointed. The guy who makes it (not sure if it the same person every time) is super friendly as well. I can't wait to go back and try more! Their menu is huge, I want to say they easily have over 15 different types. Vegan/vegetarian options too which we have never tried but a great offering to have.

The best spot in all of Jack London. Great Detroit style pizzas (can get gluten-free and/or vegan), tons of ciders and beers, pinball, board games,

Pizza is my favorite in the Bay. The Heshlaw is basically a Supreme pie and it's hard to beat. They have a plethora of other flavor combos and I've yet to try them all, but I come here about once a month. The cider and beer options are solid too. And pinball! Lots of pinball!
