Oz Pizza - Pizza in the Castro District — Restaurant in San Francisco

It was one of those nights, you know, the ones where you bar hop and have fun drinking and dancing, then come closing time at 2am, your stomach says "I want pizza, and for you to go straight to bed after". Yes sir! We actually wanted to grab some slices from a joint across from the Castro Theater but they were closed. You can't make money if you're closed!

ATMOSPHERE: It's a typical little pizza shop with indoor and a few outdoor seats. The pans of pizza were pre-made then zapped to order.

MENU: Salads, chicken wings, pizza, dessert, beer.

FOOD: Mushroom Pizza My choice, and it was the last slice left! The Costco-sized slice was a thin, chewy crust, with fresh mushrooms, cheese, and had great flavor.

Pepperoni Pizza My spouse's grub. Pepperoni is a pepperoni is a pepperoni... Tasty, salty, not too oily. Because we had 3 huge slices, they put them in an entire pizza box, a bit of waste for a city that's into recycling.

SERVICE: Fast and friendly from what I can remember lol. We were in and out in less than 5 minutes.

TIP: Yelp check in offer of "one free soda" was honored! Thanks guys!

OVERALL: Good...

I was 100% planning on heading to Chinatown for dinner on this specific night, but it was my last night and when I searched for exotic eats this place popped up. Reason being was their kangaroo and camel pizzas. I love trying wacky things that you can’t get anywhere else and this was right up my alley.

Right after my workout I headed right over. The shop is located right in the middle of the Castro area which for those who don’t know is the LGBTQ area of town and it’s quiet obvious when entering the areas.

The shop was pretty low key and no crowd at all. They no longer carry the Kangaroo pizza but they do have Ostrich pizza which fit the mold for unique so I went with that and the camel. I personally favored the Ostrich pizza, but both were great. The pizza itself was good and the meats just added to it. For the two pizzas it rang me up $16 but honestly were pretty filling. Check in on Yelp and get a free soda.

Overall pretty happy here, service wasn’t the friendliest, but looking past that point as the offering is something you won’t get...

Not sure how this place survived the pandemic; this is truly awful pizza. The crust is devoid of all flavor and that's basically 90% of what makes pizza good or not- anyone can find decent toppings and they do have a variety of pies. I'm not picking on these guys to be honest; San Francisco is filled with subpar pizza shops: The Pizza place on Noriega, Golden Edge, every pizza place in the Tenderloin, even Golden Boy regardless of its popularity amongst drunk partiers... Hopefully these guys change up their crust recipe; the service is actually great and the employees are very friendly. I'm a veteran of pizza shops and the crust is the ONE thing that if you change it for the better your business...
