Gioia Pizzeria - San Francisco, California

I love getting pizza at Gioia, the far and few times I do. The last time I came in was with my late pup who was going through some hard times post a vet procedure… heart-wrenching journey to say the least.

Cait and team went above and beyond, making our last days together supported and special. I’m grateful. When I see Gioia or am in the neighborhood now, I remember my pup and the kindness we were shown.

Thank you Cait and Gioia. ❤️‍?

We tried the Salsiccia, which features Sicilian sausage, pickled jalapenos, mozzarella, pecorino, and tomato sauce, and the Formaggio, with mozzarella, grana padano, and tomato sauce. Both pizzas were absolutely delicious!

I’ve ordered from Gioia Pizzeria for delivery before, but this was my first time dining in. While the indoor seating is quite limited, there’s a lovely park nearby where you can enjoy your pizza. Overall, a great spot for tasty pizza, whether you choose to dine in or take out.

Gioia Pizzeria delivered a delightful pizza experience with our three choices:

The Funghi Pie was a winner with roasted Cremini mushrooms, thyme, parsley, garlic oil, Mozzarella, Grana Padano, and tomato sauce – a harmonious blend of earthy flavors that I loved.

The Julian Pie showcased house-made Calabrese sausage, Lacinato kale, red onion, chili flakes, garlic, Mozzarella, and Pecorino, creating a well-balanced and satisfying taste.

The Formaggio Pie, with Mozzarella, Grana Padano, and tomato sauce, highlighted simple ingredients done right.

Overall, the pizzas were delicious, warm on arrival, and delivered with care. Gioia Pizzeria earns four stars for their flavorful creations that cater to a variety of tastes. The Funghi Pie stood out as a personal favorite – a must-try for anyone seeking a delightful pizza adventure!

A nice hole in the wall hiding in Hayes valley. The slice I had was extremely good — lots of charred spots, crispy edges and a fine rain of grated Parmesan out of the oven. Amazing place for a slice.

Love the pizza, but can we talk about the salad?! The avocado & arugula salad is AMAZING and I can't get enough of it. One day I'll try other things on the menu (the sandwiches look so good!) but for now I'm happy ordering this again and again.

I recently moved to SF from NYC (where the pizza comes from) and I’ve been avoiding pizza entirely since I got here because 1) I don’t like crying in public and 2) some of the pizza shops I’ve walked past here should be brought up on charges for tomato-related crimes. I don’t know I’m not a pizza lawyer. Anyway I finally caved, and I’ll be honest the folks at Gioia make some pretty solid pizza. Clearly fresh ingredients, good flavors, nice chewy crust, and decent prices. Guess this elitist New Yorker will have to find something else to complain about now.

Amazing Pizza! Highly recommend if you are trying to explore the city, and MUST HAVE if you live nearby!

Great variety of selection. Express speed service. Nice, low key atmosphere outside. Expect to go from in line to pizza in hand within 10min.

Don’t forget to add fresh parmesan to your slice, it makes a huge difference .

the pizza is tasty but they charge random fees that don’t make any sense. If you order on THEIR ordering site you get a 1.00 ordering online site. Then, if you pickup, there is a pickup fee! The pickup fee increases to scale with your order. For only one pizza it’s 1.02. It goes up with every additional item. This is not cool. Plus their tip default is 20% for pickup too. For what, making the pizza? You’re already charging me to walk in the door.

Great pizza! Excellent prices! Pizza by the slice or a whole pie.
