Pizza Zone — Restaurant in San Francisco

Yes, it's the only place around here that sells pizza by the slice, but beware of what you will get: They only have 2 types of pizza premade here: cheese and pepperoni. Extra toppings are 50 cents each (that includes the aforementioned pepperoni). What that means is they add toppings to one of the above, sprinkle more cheese on top, and reheat it in the oven. What you get is a weird layering of dry crust, sauce, old cheese, then the fresh topping, with fresher cheese sprinkled on top of all that -- all making for a very odd presentation when it comes out of the oven. They should at least add the fresh cheese first before adding the topping to make it appear like a normal slice of pizza, (to masking their peculiar reheating process).

The taste was pretty average, but price insane - $3.99 plus 50 cents per topping! My two slices with two extra toppings each came out to $10!! If you are used to an average slice of cheap New York pizza, you shall be disappointed. Granted, this place is open late so their main customers are likely to be inebriated tourists who are probably less critical of the unique pizza making process here than I am being in this post. To that I say kudos to the Asian owners of this establishment. You have obviously found your niche and developed a solid business model on this high trafficked steet corner of...

Ok, to be fair, I owned a sandwich shop for years. I also worked at a very well known pizza place, I call it the Hut. The sandwich is good. I'd never put it in the taste and quality of a Katz Deli. I'm a snob about sandwiches. I'd call this one a 7 out of 10. Very good, but not famous, nor the best. Now, let's go to pizza. Omg. We loved it. Great flavor, slightly chewey crust, plenty of cheese. We both loved the pizza by the slice. We split both and very glad we did. If you walk away hungry, it's your fault. We made two meals out of 2 orders. I'm a big guy and was way filled up on a half of each order. We split the sandwich on site and we were too full to eat anything more. We took the pizza back to the hotel and ate it after an Alcatraz tour. It was extremely tasty. Perfect jalapeño. The woman helping us seemed to be the owner. She was kind and attentive. As a former sandwich shop owner and a depth of food service experience, this is a win. I'm getting hungry for another slice of pizza. I'm guilty, the former Hut worker and Sandwich shop owner went for a late night fix for the pizza....

Chances are, it's past 10pm and your staying at the Marriot across the road and looking for something to eat, well looks like you'll be Pizza Zoning 🍕 😆

Anyhow, that was our situation, after just landing, not much was open around Fisherman's Wharf, than Pizza Zone.

The owner, Uncle Pizza Zone, was super nice, I love how he advertises the sizes of the pizzas/Pizza slices with a some visual representations above the oven, makes it nice and easy to get an idea of what to order.

We opted for a medium pepperoni Pizza, and some tenders, there was a short wait, while Unlce Pizza Zone was running solo, but he was open and honest and mentioned there were a few orders ahead of us, we had no issues with that.

Tenders were surprisingly decent, Uncle PZ even did us a deal, original menu item is 3 tenders and fries, since we didn't want fries, he offered us 5 tenders, which was better.

The Pizza was hot, fresh and enjoyable. There was quite a bit of cheese on, so if we were to revisit, we'd prob ask for half/less cheese.

All in all a solid place to eat so late in the bay, after...
