Worst spaghetti I have ever eaten. $18 for a plate with one meatball that looked like it was cooked before the pandemic.

This is a funky friendly Cafe, with a little stage for open mike and karaokes and such. The owner is delightful and attentive. Relaxed safe environment.

Very cool place! The owner was awesome and treated us like family the minute we walked in. Seating is tight, so be prepared to snuggle in. Food was homemade and filling.

All fried foods were soggy… disappointing.

Was the worst spaghetti I’ve ever eaten, might as well have been tomato paste on top of pasta with a over microwaved meatball.

Always great food and good music from local musicians on almost every evening.

Wow! This was disgusting - working nights and hungry so a few of us got together and ordered pizza. They were a 15 min drive for delivery so we were expecting a hot meal. Instead we received room temp pizza. The crust had zero taste and dried out with the consistency of cardboard, without the sturdiness. The pizza fell apart covering me in toppings. The sauce was tasteless red stuff topped with a congealed pasty white mess I think was cheese. The pepperoni & jalapeños provided the only taste. I could only choke down 1 piece. That 1 slice cost me a severe case of heartburn and 25% of a $50 bill - including delivery fee and a tipHopefully this review will prevent you from insulting your tastebuds!

If I could give this place 0 stars I would based solely of the food. Worst spaghetti we've ever been served... More like dogfood than anything resembling edible. Fed to our chickens to save the dogs. Accompanying salad was wilted and the bread was barely cooked and doughy. These are all things they can't blame the Uber driver for. How on earth does anyone mess up spaghetti and meatballs?

Have never been to Velvet Underground. Some are saying Boogie Pizza is a different name they use. The place I ordered from is in Nob Hill. The pizza I rec'd was huge and cheap, and decent. So I'm confused. Velvet Underground or Boogie Pizza?

Ordered 2 pizzas from here. They were supposed to have fun green chile crust but both came plain and I'm not sure I've ever had a worse crust. The cheese pizza came with no sauce and the 2 chile pizza was sopping wet down through the crust and leaking out of the box like crazy. The food was meant as a little splurge treat for my girlfriend and I but we each tried a slice and are just going to toss the rest. Literally any pizza is better - I used to get elementary school lunch pizza at my old job that tasted better. The lady working there was nice and even offered me a free pizza they had extra of but to be honest I'm glad I turned down the offer as I'd feel worse throwing away more food. The guy making the food seemed really grumpy. I would feel bad giving this pizza away to someone for free.
Great people, delicious food, great entertainment and Dori is awesome always has a smile on her face love this girl.

Is there any chance I can place less stars? What a mess! Staff is unresponsive, unprofessional, un-ANYTHING!!! I order a coke and a water. 20 minutes later, the gal comes back and want to charge me $6. I say "$6 for a coke and a water?" The gal said "Oh, I thought you had two cones and a water.....$5". Really!!?? I saw her pour tap water into a glass and serve it and a coke can poured into a glass! What a S@IT show! Not only will I NEVER return, but I would discourage anyone from going there! Looking at the prices they have for food: totally unrealistic!! Asking you to pay a premium on microwaved food is total crap! Unbelievable!!! I am beside myself on this place. Not that anyone would seriously consider attending this dive in the first place but in the event you are doing your research prior to going, AVOID!!!!

I ordered from "Boogie Pizza Company" because I had a coupon on Uber Eats and I was craving a good pizza. I chose the wrong restaurant for that. The menu was a little confusing at first, but then I figured out how to order. I got the Bira Pizza and, out of whimsy, ordered the Addict (which is the chocolate cake pizza). The Bira Pizza tasted great and was better than I thought it would be. The Addict was a waste of money. I threw it away. The chocolate sauce was okay, but the cake toasted out and became dry on the pizza. And the overwhelming bitterness of the low quality chocolate, dollops of raw flour, and bland crust make it inedible. My biggest complaint is that whoever runs this kitchen has done zero research on how to make pizza. The crust is terrible and the same crust seems to be used on all the pizzas. First, the crust is very bland: you can taste the flour and there is lack of fat and seasoning. Secondly, the crust is way too thick: it's like trying to eat a loaf of bread that your kids made for the first time with every bite. And finally, who makes pizzas by rolling the dough!? Pizza dough is supposed to be stretched so you get an even, thin layer of dough that can crisp up on the bottom. Because they roll the dough, the crust has pressed layers of bread that don't hold together. Additionally, they bake the pizzas on flour instead of corn meal so that adds more disappointment to every bite. You can get better pizza from a high school cafeteria. Or just get one of those $1 pizzas in the freezer section of the grocery store. No wonder "Boogie Pizza Company" isn't even their real business name. It looks like they go by different names in various apps based on the other reviews.

super cool little acoustic cafe with a surprising selection of food. Lobster crepes and cavier with crackers are just a few of the menu items!
