Baiano SF Pizza Hayes Valley

The pizza is beautifully presented and tasty as heck. The people are kind prompt and they even let me use the restroom on days. I don't buy anything. 10 out of 10.

Pizza is DELICIOUS! Don’t believe the lower rating - pizza is amazing. Only thing would be the crust, it’s a bit cracker like but some people prefer that.

I had not been in in quite awhile even though I live a 10 minute walk away, but I was at my doctor next door so why not give them another chance? The crust is so thin and cracker-y, no flavor to it at all. I did like the toppings of Sausage & Honey. But at $5 a slice, I expect good dough these days considering the multiple options that exist in the neighborhood.
I could however see the $20 AYCE lunch option being appealing if you are in that type of mood however. Otherwise, go up the street to Gioia Pizza for a far superior slice or whole pie.

I guess I should try some of the non-pizza options such as the calzone?

$20 all-you-can eat pizza every night, they heat it up gorgeously, the flavors are delicious, the crust is excellent, and the mugs of beer are frosty. Hard to beat during the dinner rush!

Needed to charge my phone and take a load off in here. Guy said I had to buy something so I got a slice of sausage mozzarella. It was great. Slice came out fast and he showed me where the outlet was. They also have free water in these nice glass bottles from the fridge that you can pour in a glass. Watched him serve a guy a beer in a nice mug. Great vibes. Nice decor and chill vibe.

Potato pesto slice

Good average pizza. Got a slice and a drink it was good.

Walked in to get a slice of pizza but they just have “personal pizzas” for like $13 w tax. Why would you make that switch?

Every time I ask for parmesan cheese he lies and says he doesn’t have them. The one time he did this and an older gentleman who I assume is the owner or manager literally made him give me the packets that he says “he didn’t have” I wish that older man was there more often. I’m tired of being lied to. if you’re a pizza place you should have Parmesan cheese to go. Stop lying about cheese

I randomly walked into this place for lunch while I was running late for an apartment touring (moving from a diff neighborhood) and I got a slice of the Sausage & Honey pizza. Now, I'm not a good writer by any means so I can't explain it in great detail, but out of probably the 300+ different pizza places (of every variation) I've eaten in my life, this has to be a top 3 slice of pizza I've ever had.

I ate this slice in my car while stuck in traffic off of a paper plate and it was totally unassuming. It looked pretty normal, and while my first bite was definitely solid, when I took another and hit one of those pools of delicious honey combined with some pizza grease I felt the heavens open up. And when I continued and got some of that spicy sausage with some of that serrano chili I began to levitate straight up until that portal to heaven engulfed me in it's delicious, honey goodness.

Seriously guys, get the Honey & Sausage pizza and you won't regret it. I've had nothing like it and even after this one slice I've decided I need to go back tomorrow for lunch and get an entire XL so I can take it home so I can give it to my family and friends so they too can experience Nirvana. I just can't stop thinking about those pools of flavor and I simply can't wait another day without it.

Cheers yall, and Happy Holidays!

Overpriced and below average pizza.

Wanted to get a quick slice while I was in the area and this one was close by with good enough ratings.

A cheese slice was $5 which is a lot even by SF standards but I was hoping it would be exceptional for that price.

It was heated well and cane out had a nice color on the bottom but unfortunately the crust was dense, and the sauce & cheese were pretty much flavorless.

I’m sure their slices with toppings are fine but the dough, sauce, and cheese are the foundation and this place falls short in quality and if you can’t do a cheese pizza well then something needs to be fixed.

Service was quick, although I was there when it was empty. Either way, there are better and more affordable pizza joints close by, but as the food is right now I won’t be coming back.

very poor quality pizza and even worse service. they don't greet you and expect you to pay tips for take out and intent to mess up your order.

? This was a delivery, so 5 stars for service because it was delivered with smile by a friendly gentleman.
? FIVE, no, TEN stars for one of THE best GF veggie pizzas with vegan cheese I've had! Crust: texture on point, not crackery. I asked for well done. Vegan cheese: gooey & creamy, not sticky. Sauce: what I imagine pizza made by an Italian grandma would tastes like.
? I've yet to eat in the restaurant, as this was delivered, but 5 stars judging by the pictures shared by others.

Thank you Baiano Hayes Pizza for this scrumptious pie!
