Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly metered street parking on Polk and nearby cross streets; spaces turn over late at night but can be scarce during bar hours.
Dress code: Anything goes—casual attire is standard, from hoodies to after-bar outfits.
Noise level: Moderate outside on the sidewalk; you can chat easily while waiting but it’s not a sit-down environment.
Weekend wait: Minimal since it’s counter-only; expect a short line around midnight after bars let out.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily an evening and late-night spot.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—usually cheese and veggie slices are available.
Vegan options: Limited—no dedicated vegan pies, though plain cheese can be skipped if available by slice.
Gluten-free options: No gluten-free crust options offered.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s a quick slice window on the street, better for a casual late-night bite than a date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No tables here—it’s strictly counter service and sidewalk eating; no reservations needed.
Is it kid-friendly? Kids are welcome but there’s no seating or family setup—works best for teens grabbing a slice, not younger children.
Best For
Better for: One of the most reliable ultra-late-night pizza stops in Lower Nob Hill—fast, cheap, and still open when others are closed.
Skip if: Skip if you’re looking for sit-down dining, atmosphere, or specialty diet options like vegan or gluten-free.
