Joyride Pizza, Mission District

We had the most amazing dinner at Joyride Pizza! The restaurant is so cool. Loved the atmosphere! We had the Sweet Heat Pineapple and it was soooo delicious. My husband and I split a large which was three pieces each. We also split the Anti-Pasta Salad. It was different than others we have had and was fabulous!! It was plenty of food but no leftovers. Such a pleasant experience. We highly recommend! 10/10

Very good chicken pesto pizza, and the sizes are very good for individuals

10/10 my favorite pizza place in the city

Feel like the quality went south since I first tried it a year or so ago. Will report back if next visit wields a better outcome

Do not approach if you have celiac disease

What happened Joyride ? This is not the pizza I remember from the year you first opened, but a sadder version of your former self. The quality seemed to have taken a dive and the dough is not as thick and seemed undercooked. The cheese and flavor also tasted off.

Delicious pizza and creative pizza topping options. I recommend the Meatzza.There was no available seating inside to wait for my pizza which kinda sucked but overall worth the wait.

Joyride Pizza on Valencia Street is a must-visit gem for anyone craving a slice of something bold, fresh, and deeply satisfying. Specializing in Detroit-style pizza, this spot stands out with its crispy-edged, thick yet airy crusts and vibrant, creative toppings. The moment you walk by, the display case catches your eye with colorful, square-cut pies that look as good as they taste.

What makes Joyride special is the quality and variety. Whether you’re a meat lover, vegetarian, or somewhere in between, they’ve got a square for you. Classics like pepperoni and sausage are stacked with flavor, while options like “The Sweet” with ricotta and basil, or the veggie-loaded “Shrooms” offer a gourmet twist that hits the spot. Every slice is a mini meal — rich, chewy, crispy, and made with care.

Service is friendly and fast, and the ambiance is casual and bright. With plenty of natural light and outdoor vibes from the big glass windows, it’s a great spot to pop in for lunch or a quick dinner. Prices are fair considering the portion sizes, and you can mix and match slices to your heart’s content.

If you’re in the Mission and looking for Detroit-style done right, Joyride Pizza is an easy win. Highly recommended.

Slow. Overpriced. Burnt slice. Marinara is too sweet. Dough is fine. I’ll try any pizza once. I’ll never try this one again.

Looks like they are skimping on the cheese.
Not as good as it used to be when they opened.
The pizza has way less cheese now, the sides barely have any melted crusty cheese.
