Understand that you don't go here for good pizza. You go here for late night sustenance. A few slices, throw in some cokes and waters, We're good for hours. Everybody there is drunk. At the least.

Everything taste delicious when you're drunk. Convenient spot to buy pizza, random bars down the street. Nothing special just good pizza and service.

Do you want the shIts ???? Do you want to spend another $7 on a bottle of Pepto Bismol ???? Do you want dribbling tomato juice (ketchup) dripping on your shirt while you eat ???? If you answered 'YES' to any of the above questions, then you should definitely eat here. Otherwise I would pass. This place is SO WEAK. Only drunk people stumbling out of Molotov's go here. Trust me. Tons of way better places. If you're starving, go to Rosamunde next door. That place is the BOMB!

Four stars for the late hours, the quick service, the cheap prices. Flavor? What the hell are you so picky about at 2am after a hard night of drinking? Absorption my friend, absorption. Give that beer something to soak into other than your poor brain. In the morning, you will be oh so thankful. Plus the cheese is the kind that dangles from your chin, they always have lots of red hot chili peppers and just one of the guys behind the counter could protect ALL the customers from getting mugged.

Truth be told, I've never been here sober. Luckily, Mythic Pizza is not the pizza joint for those San Francisco foodies looking for authentic Italian cuisine. Nope. It's the kind of place that hordes of drunken people, with only a few bucks left in their pockets, flock to after drinking heavily in the lower Haight. The service isn't stellar here. Don't expect smiles and witty banter from the staff (if you had to deal with drunkards trying to order pizza every night you'd be a bit surly too), but they will get you your pizza as quickly as they can. The pizza-by-the-slice selection here is pretty good. I'm a fan of the Athens (pesto, artichoke hearts, & garlic), but they are all tasty. The pizza crust is somewhere between regular and deep dish, so they'll be a lot of bread to help soak up that excess beer in your stomach. BONUS TIP: You can take your pizza into Toronado next door.

What did we order? 1 Pesto Pizza 1 Vegetarian Pizza How was the taste on a scale from 1 through 5? 5 How was the service on a scale from 1 through 5? 3 Did we feel it was worth the price? Yes Will we visit Mythic Pizza in the future? Yes

After a crazy sweaty night at Vertigo, we stopped to grab a bite at Mythic. Thinking I was the smarter of the bunch, I went next door to Love N Haight and ordered a huge sandwich drooling with sprouts. But as soon as I caught a whiff of the freshly made slices from Mythic, I knew I'd made a mistake. My bf relucantly let me have a bite of his, and I have to say for late night food options, Mythic is by far, one of the best in the area. I could actually taste the toppings, the crust was doughy (the way I like it) and cheesy slice was piping steam. I'm planning on birthing an additional star to this review - once I get a big slice just to myself.

i like to stop here for a slice if im feeling lazy about making dinner and cheap about buying an actual meal. their slices are HUGJE! i usually go for the Tijuana or Haight sans meat. They make each slice to-order so dont be afraid to be picky. if you like yr pizza well done, make sure to request it that way. Its not as bad as Rouz E makes it out to be, but for $5, itll fill yr belly whether yr drunk, lazy or are ok with experiencing ok pizza.

Went here instead because Rosamunde was closed for re-stocking :'( :'( We got the Mythic (~*original*~ I know. See photo). It was decent... but I wanted my beer sausage *pouts*

I love this place! Every time I go to San Fran I gotta have it. The pricing is pretty good for a nice big piece of pizza that will def fill you up. Try the "San Francisco", so yummy!!!! :) Workers have always been nice and fast.

Brendan M.

Garbage. Theyre open late and located beside some bars, but thats still not a good enough excuse to go here, when Love n Haight deli is literally right next door, and open just as late. For almost the same price you can get a big-ass sandwich with all the fillings at Love n Haight. Suck it.

This place is suitable for a quick cheap filling satisfaction + heart attack. Their pizza's okay, nothing special. But for damn sure all i can really remember is it's HELLA greasy. i had to pat it to get most of the grease off with a napkin. But i do bet it taste real good when im drunk. =)

Once I lowered my standards and accepted that fact that pizza in San Francisco generally sucks, I was able to start to enjoy places like Mythc Pizza. It isn't really that good, but its not horrible. I'm giving it 3 stars thinking from the mind of a drunk and stoned person late at night. If i was sober and it was the middle of the day, it would probably be two stars.

I have got to hand it to Mythic Pizza for having such a good business plan! They are so smart for posting up next to Toronado (a bar). Drunk people love eating pizza! We come here all the time after enjoying a few beers next door. I like the Athens pizza. It has pesto, artichoke hearts and garlic. The chunks of artichoke hearts are HUGE. I'm pretty sure the pizza tastes extra good because I'm intoxicated, but there's nothing better than a greasy slice of pizza to sober you up.

It's alright. Whenever my girlfriend and I want something cheap and fast in san francisco, we come here. I went there twice. First time we went there a nice local suggested this place to us so we both got a slice, then decided to get a box for the hotel. The second time, we went there was for a box when we were in the city again. Third time, we were late night crabbing and looking for a place that was open so we decided to drop by. We met the owner this time (I believe)... older male, tall, slim, gray hair, piercing eyes. And by piercing, I mean... I felt like he stared us down like we were trashy kids or something... it was my girlfriend, my friend, brother, and my baby brother. We got the haight medium pizza to go because all of the seats were taken, but since the prior customers left once we got our pizza, my girlfriend decided we should stay instead of scarfing the pizza down in the car. Yeah, it felt like he didn't even want us in there and when we were going to throw the box away, we realized the trash can was full so we didn't want to just stuff the box in... that's when he yelled out "i'll take that!", my friend walked the box over to him and he just tossed it to the side. I don't think I could say i'll ever go back. I thought it was just me, but I guess it does send you to the bathroom and the man is rude. If you want something fast and cheap and don't mind eliminating it a couple minutes later. Do come. Their food isn't bad, but there is better.

From ny so that's the baseline. A bunch of places in SF have partially cooked pies, add toppings, and then bake again. Not really kosher in my book, but for the occasion this place does it well. mythic piles it on and the options are pretty solid for late night

Im not sure why people love this place? I LOVE me some pizza from any and everywhere (usually)! But this place didnt do anything for me. They are generous with their toppings but its so generous that it slides off the pizza which means its so heavy that the dough cant support it. I've been there 3 times when I first lived in lower haight because my roommates raved about it... but honestly... everytime I was there... I became pissed off that I spent my money and had to throw the pizza out! YUP... and I dont condone throwing any food away... so that should give you a picture of how I feel. Maybe its because people are crazy drunk when they eat it that makes it a favorite of lower haight-ers... not sure. Sorry Mythic... I gave you guys a chance.

This is the closest pizza joint to my apartment, and it's open every night until 2 am. These are the only 2 reasons I ever end up at Mythic Pizza. It's good if you're drunk at 1:30 am and you happen to be in Lower Haight. The slices are OK, very mediocre. Very greasy and a lot of doughy crust. Delivery is even worse. Every time I have ordered delivery from Mythic it ends up being a complete waste of $25. Each time (and I'm talking 5 or more instances) the pizza comes dripping in grease. It is never cooked all the way through, and the middle of the pizza is often pretty much raw dough. 2 times I've ordered delivery and the Pizza was stuck on the top of the box. Bottom Line: Terrible Pizza, OK slices in house. Delivered pizzas get's worse based on how late you order.

Foul. I mean seriously F O U L. Not to be confused with "fowl" like the bird, "foul" denotes horrendous, undercooked, cold, nasty pizza that by it's very existence should be tried for the treason of masquerading as pizza. Do NOT eat here. You can be drunk and this will NOT be your salvation. You can be sober and this will NOT make you want to get drunk. I would rather have eaten the parmesan cheese from the shaker mixed with ketchup and poured over a piece of wonder bread and topped with cheap imitation pepperoni. Or one of those Lunchables pizzas that they market towards kids. THOSE combos would have been more deserving of the title "pizza" than the foulness served up by Mythic Pizza. When did reheating leftover pizza become something worth paying for? Especially when they even fail to "reheat" it properly. W T F?!

Mythic Pizza, You are so hit or miss in your food quality.Yesterday the sauce was oddly sweet, and the cheese was far too sparse. If it weren't for your low prices, internet ordering options and delivery to my neighborhood ( in a timely manner I must add) I probably wouldn't order your pizza and meatball subs any longer. your calzones are delicious but hard to order for two when one person is a picky eater (not me of course.) I will still enlist your pizza services, I just wish you could be more consistent in your food quality.

HOLD THE PHONE! Still drunk food. Still line out the door after last call. Still mostly made for the purposes of absorbing alcohol. But... ... in yet another bumbling, laughter-filled, sloppy end of a drunk evening, i got desperate and went back (even though i know i do NOT like this pizza) and I discovered that they have a vegan pizza. We ordered a whole pie, with very low (drunk) expectations. You know what? It was actually pretty damn good! The quality was proven the following day, when sober. It's spinach, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and sauce. Does this mean their cheap cheese is what makes the regular pizza so horrible? Despite my previous disdain, I'm going to get it again. But only when I'm drunk.

Years ago I had a moment here. I walked in just as Black Sabbath's Iron Man started. It was surreal, that's the moment I realized that I had theme music. I felt like I was in a movie. This place makes terrible pizza. I usually come here after drinking at Toronado but this time I made the mistake of stopping here first. The crust is doughy and the toppings are undercooked. You do not want to eat here sober. youtube.com/watch?v=9Ljbâ€¦

On Friday, Starla pointed out to me that our crew doesn't spend nearly enough time in the Lower Haight. Now I couldn't agree more, but I was trying to put together a civilized dinner for our merry band of rogues and whinos. Fat chance. Before I knew it, we'd abandoned plans for dinner at NOPA and cocktails at Madrone in favor of sausages at Rosamunde and drinks at EVERY Lower Haight bar that would have us. They don't call us classy for nothing. We EARNED that title. Anyhoo, sausage scares me. So I passed on dinner altogether. And thank god I did. Come 10 p.m. when I was on vodka soda #5 and my pizza cravings were hitting their peak, I was thankful that my tummy was empty enough to justify a slice of pepperoni/garlic/grease pie from Mythic. Not only did we get delicious slices of pizza (WAY better than every other time I've been here) but my partner in crime got unsolicited dating advice from a fellow patron. All for around $6. Now that's a deal! **thin, crispy crust means little to no beer-bread expansion once in your stomach, which means you can continue drinking like the rockstar you are. Take your slice to Noc Noc next door and eat in the dark. Because eating in the dark is the best.

The pizza is pretty good. I had a slice with feta cheese, olives, pepperoni, and sausage. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and the slice wasn't soaked in oil. Maybe the quality of their pizza varies throughout the day, but I'll take it any day over the generic pizza chains. The ambiance of the place left a lot of be desired but it's a fun place to people watch.

David K.

Step 1) Go to Toronado and order several amazing beers Step 2) Sumble next door to Mythic Pizza and have one slice. That probably won't be enough, so get a second. Step 3) Go back two steps.

It brought me back to the college days of Fat Slice and Blondies in Berkeley.. Hot pizza with stringy melted cheese and a crisped thin crust... pesto pizza at 3am after the club... that is all :)

Pizza isn't bad, but I'm constantly let down by their poor delivery. Just had a massive problem with them. They "said" they called my phone when they were outside, but I didn't receive any calls from them. I have now been waiting for my pizza for almost 2 hours. To top it off, I tried calling them for about 40 minutes, NO ANSWERS AT ALL! WHAT THE FUCK MYTHIC?!
(2)
Farooq K.

I am not one to give bad reviews, but Mythic really earned one : ( I tried to call in an order for delivery, and the gentleman on the other line simply said 'we're too busy, bye'. That was a first..... I've also been there two other occasions after a night in the Haight, and the pizza is usually really runny and the crust is really thin. I doubt this review will really do much to improve their service, and it's sad that they can get away with this as there are not too many pizza places in the area. However, I'd strongly recommend that people try to support restaurants and other pizza joints that actually give a damn.

Brandon H.

Open after bars close? Yes Right next door to two badass bars? Yes Do I eat it when completely sober? Yes! Do they make it when you order it? Yes Is every bite pesto, garlicy heaven? Yes Would I eat it every day if I lived in Lower Haight? Yes Would I do a voluntary commercial for them? maybe
(4)
Suo L.

There is a time and a place for just about anything, even lousy pizza. The time and place for Mythic Pizza is at the Toronado once your other dining options are closed. At the very least, the slices start at $2.50 and come out of the oven piping hot.

Decent, but not the best pizza in the neighborhood.

Late night by the slice pizza on Halloween. Ambiance (3): It's your typical late night pizza operation with few tables and a line to deal with it. Nothing more needed. Food (2): Typical West Coast pizza=weak. The cheese was lacking salt as usual. We had one with some meats, another one with some other meats, and a third with no meats but with tomatoes, pesto, and I don't recall what else...feta and spinach maybe? The non-meat one was the best, highly recommend it if you must have late night West Coast pizza. I did goof by not ordering a plain pepperoni to really test the quality of the pizza, but I just wanted to eat anything. Service (3): Efficient order taking. Nothing more needed. Value (3): Slices could be bigger, but it's late night pizza so I'd probably pay almost anything for it. Overall: This is late night pizza, pure and simple. It's also West Coast pizza, so you have to make allowances for these two factors. However, would I come back here if Golden Boy was next to it and open? Absolutely not! Having said all that, this is the main late night pizza option in my neighborhood so despite the rating, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Allyson S.

When drinking in the area I hardly ever miss a chance to get pizza here. Sure it's not the best pizza around, but when it's late at night and nothing else around it sure does taste good. They've got pretty interesting toppings, and even though they fall into the category of putting pesto on top of regular cheese pizza instead of using the pesto as sauce, at least it's hot and crispy.
(4)
Brad J.

I can't tell you how many times Mythic Pizza has saved us from going hungry during 4th meal. Let's just say it's been many many times. It's definitely one of those spots that's not super clean or roomy, and you have a chance to see a drug deal on the street, but I can't imagine grabbing a slice anywhere else.
(5)
Bill h.

The very definition of average. Its really amazing that so few places can make a good slice of thin east coast pizza in SF and even fewer deliver. But mythic is decent enough considering it usually has a good deal on two large pizzas, and SF pizza tends to have a serious overpricing issue. Delivery for me has always been in the 45 minute range even living out in potrero.
(3)
Bobby B.

This place is pretty darn good. Great for late night dinning, reasonable slice prices, moderately friendly service. Pesto was a little disappointing but not terrible, just not distributed well, and too oily even for pesto.

Kelly Kate W.

Mythic is excellent junk food. There are three kinds of pizza in my life: dinner pizza (little star, delfina, gialina) NY pizza (escape) junk food pizza (mythic) Each one has it's place and time in my life, I can't substitute one for another, and all occupy an unfortunately large part of my diet. Mythic is my end all bad dinner. When I've had a shitty day and am mad at the world I usually put on my sad pants (horrifyingly ratty men's PJs), watch a million episodes of Gossip Girl, and call Mythic for some food therapy. This isn't the sort of thing I should probably admit to anyone, but that's what the internet is for. A mythic cheese pizza with pineapple is like a one night stand, it feels good that night, when you're feeling shitty and need some comforting, but is sure as hell regrettable the next morning.

Here is a case where statistics really tell the whole story. Every time I come to lower Haight this place seems empty. I decided to give it a try yesterday afternoon, partially out of pity and partially out of necessity, and I learned why. The pizza slices here are like a brick! It's pretty sad when you can't even sell slices of pizza to drunk-ass patrons of Toronado on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Clara A.

I ordered from here twice and the first time the calzone was dry and falling apart and the second time the pizza literally was so soggy it fell apart. It is not good food and not worth it.

Just had a few slices last night here with my friend. I was super surprised how good it was! The slice was big, there were TONS of toppings, and the over all taste was good. Will definitely go back there!
(4)
Dustin P.

The crust kind of tasted like it was made in the microwave... $2.50 is a fine price for a slice of pie, however, if you want toppings, they suddenly become a premium priced slice at a low-grade taste. Maybe if I were drunk it would've tasted better... The pesto looked tasty, however the grease level appeared insanely high that it was wisely avoided...
(3)
Allie M.

Not digging this place - so much that I'm writing this review as I consume its product. Pizza is blegh, expensive slices, and they charge for ranch when escape from ny is down the street and has that and tapatio for all to share. Won't be coming here again. No amount of alcohol makes that pizza okay.
(2)
Juan Camilo R.

If you are craving for Pizza or you need to put some food in your stomach after drinking and you are in the area, definitely try it out. Go hungry, their slices are big around $5 each! I tried their Mythic or Mystique pizza and is the bomb, really you wont regret it.
(3)
David H.

It's not great but its near my pad and plenty greasy to calm a tummy full of beer. It's a little over-priced for what you get as there's certainly nothing exceptional about the pizza. Sober food it is not, but if you're hungry and cravin' some grease after a night on the town, its quick, dirty, and might make the next morning a little less painful.
(3)
Adam R.

First time trying this place - ordered online, so how could they screw this up? They clearly gave us someone else's pizza which had toppings on it that I couldn't eat, but since there were people over they dug in. The Caesar salad was mostly croutons with not much salad. Extremely expensive for not being able to eat it, very disappointed.
(2)
Geary Z.

A short quick review for a place I visit only drunk. Just a grungy place to grab a quick bite after drunk induced hunger. Location: In the Haight, so if you're into bars in the Haight you'll likely end up here drunk. Space: Limited seating, but usually no one eats inside. There is no decoration, but it shouldn't matter, you're drunk, Ambiance: Homeless and drunk people. Service: Non-existent. The guys are rude, but who cares, you're drunk! Food/Drink: The pizza is pretty gross. Too much bad cheese and oil. The oil and cheese fall off the greasy crust as you try and bite it. But again, you'll take anything drunk. Overall: Bad food, bad service, bad atmosphere, bad people, but it's open when I'm drunk and hungry, so it gets an extra star.

Chris E.

Best pizza in town PERIOD! Been going here for years and I still haven't had better. I've tried all the greats: Seniore's, Golden Boy, Escape From NY, and to me, Mythic is the best. Long live MYTHIC PIZZA!

It is 2am and you managed to survive Underground SF (aka The Top). You are drunk and your ability to walk is getting harder by the minute. You need food to stabilize the damage of the night. MM FOOD. Just when you think you can no longer step any further you smell the sweet smells of greasy cheese pizza. Its calling out to you in a romantic way. You can no longer handle it and bum rush in and order up a fat slice. You get lucky and sit! This place is small but in your eyes it's huge. You are eating the pizza with one eye open while grease drips from the pizza and overflows on to your fingers, splattering the paper plate like an artists paint on a canvas. You are drunk, you are satisfied, and more importantly you are eating. It may not be the best pizza in the world but at this exact moment you're thinking it is....... Repeating the steps each week will cause weight gaining.

This is a great place for pizza after you've had many adult beverages in the evening and oh sure you don't really need to eat again as you had a nice dinner earlier but somehow the evening took a turn somewhere and you ended up having one more gin and tonic than you should have and then had a difficult time finding a cab as it was close to last call and while walking home you started thinking about having a slice of pizza so you stop here and order a slice and notice wow there are a lot of drunk people in here also waiting for pizzas and you are kinda amused but also kinda annoyed and then you really have to go to the bathroom but then you pizza slice is done so you quickly scarf it down and it tastes really good and you make it home just in time to relieve yourself and that's when this is a great place for pizza otherwise its not that great.

I can't distinguish the difference between their cheese and the plastic from my tupperwear lids. All their slices consist of nasty toppings added to their nasty cheese pizza and reheated for 2 minutes. Though, they do get 1 star because their product is palatable if you are wasted. The guy who works/own this place also seemed involved in the worst taqueria in SF down the block that finally shut down. Coincidence?

Im not sure what everyone is crying about, this place has some of the best pesto pizza Ive had in the city. It is a bit greasy but it's still damn good. Of course there are better options, Love n Haight, or Rosamunde's to name a few, but you came in for cheap pizza and you'll get a damn good example of it. Unfortunately, ordering delivery from these guys is a different, much more disappointing experience, so go there in person.

Why am I always in Lower Haight when it's laight?? As I was lead here on a recommendation, I was extremely skeptical when I noticed the prices. $4.50 for a slice? I had just gotten a slice from Cybelle's, which I had to leave in the car, when we came here. This better be good! I had the San Francisco slice and wow was it packed. The amount of toppings could have equaled another pizza. The feta cheese was generous and even good. It was everything a starving, boozed stomach could ask for. I'm coming here from now on when I need a late night meal. But don't listen to my opinion - I grubbed on the nasty, cooled Cybelle's pizza when we got back to the car.

after an EPIC Jazz Night there is only one way to make it EPIC-er. And that my friends is Mythic Pizza. You know what's so great about this place that keeps us coming back? it's open. and it's there. and it's in the lower haight. That's about it. The pizza really isn't the best. It's actually quite mediocre. but they're quick and pretty cheap and when your mind has just been blown by the sensory overload that is Jazz Night at Yoshi's then you don't care what you're eating. as long as it's Mythic. Plus they have hot sauce in squeeze bottles that we just drown our slices in and it's wonderful.

Ryan S.

Hmmm, it definitely has a good location with Noc Noc and Toronado next door and the pizza is decent. It's no EFNY in Upper Haight, but it'll do. Good selection. I have had slices that I was pretty happy with, and other times when the crust was somehow done, but the toppings were merely warm and the cheese half melted. Definitely late night, drunk pizza place. I would never go there before midnight. Wow, I'm making it sound really bad. It isn't bad, it just isn't that good either. I still go back there, but always wish it were better.
(3)
Raul R.

I have had good pizza and bad pizza at this joint, it all depends what time you roll in. The late night drunken crowd can be a pain in the ass sometimes (not mythic's fault). Expect a wait around lunch time and after midnight. seating is limited and they do charge for ranch I also did not remember seeing any hot sauce on counter but they do offer crushed pepper and parm.
(3)
Mike B.

Not bad. I was expecting something completely unedible and tasting of cardboard, but this was pretty decent. I'm not sure if it compares to an average NY slice, but pretty tasty in my book. This could have had something to do with all of those beers earlier in the night at some of the neighborhood bars around, but I was satisfied. I was taken here after being taken around Lower Haight by a friend for some bar hopping. On a side note: don't go to the bars around this area. Terrible. I think I saw 2 normal looking girls, the rest appeared to be goth club rejects or some other creatures of the night. Being taken out in this neighborhood made me happy that bars in SF shut down at 2AM.

Emily G.

Eh, it's good after drinking. We headed over to Mythic pizza, really, because it was across the street. The choice of slices is really nice. The "haight" has the potential to be a fabulous concoction. But, the ingrediants aren't really that great. The mushrooms were a bit soggy. I actually really liked the fact that is was a cheese pizza topped with the "haight" slice requirements then topped again with parmesan cheese. The more cheese the merrier! My friends have ordered delivery here, but the whole pizza options are much more limited. Mythic Pizza will absolutely not prepare a "haight" whole pizza version. You can on the other hand order tons of slices. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I'd eat here again if I was tipsy and needed some grease to soak up the beer. Other than that, it's not really on my radar.
(3)
Maria D.

Reminiscent of Ray's in NYC but a little saltier. I honestly don't understand why this place gets such a bad rap since the pizza is not that bad and at 2 bucks a pop, it works for a cheap lunch when you are broke as a joke (like me). Mr. Pizza Man & Pizza Pino deserve the award for worst pizza, not Mythic. Absolutely listen to the long lost Gourmet G on this one. PS - I went for the plain cheese, no toppings, which may have had something to do with my positive experience. What can I say? I have the palate of a 6 year old boy.

Breezy M.

not bad, not spectactular- it is a slice of freaking pizza, drink your beer, grab a slice, and there is nothing to bitch about. I had one with pesto, artichoke, and garlic pizza- uber stinky mouth muhahah! HoneyB went similar w/ pesto, olive, and feta. the pepperoni looked kind of gross, Bri-guy can have it nobody is stealing from that za I enjoyed mine without the 75 cent school pizza buttermilk ranch in a packet. you do feel the aftermath of the grease definitely if you are walking all the way up the haight to get back to the parking lot. gurgle-egh feeling, but it wouldn't stop me from going again.

Really good pizza, quick, and pretty cheap

Wakako U.

The pizza is a mess....sloppy, gooey and all the cheese slides off when you pick up a slice, UNLESS, you put it in your oven and make it WELL DONE. Then, its pretty delicious and has a great flavor. But, you shouldn't have to go through this extra step.
(2)
Andrew S.

If you're drunk and you have four dollars in your wallet, by all means, step inside and grab a slice. If you're not drunk, why would you ever want to endure an unfriendly cashier, just to get yourself a slice of sub-par pizza which has about as much care and quality put into it as an assembly-line Big Mac?
(2)
John S.

I finally ordered from Mythic because it was featured on GrubHub.com and because I felt like I was cheating because you normally can't order online from here but GrubHub allows you to. The pizza itself was OK. The cheese was a little bit runny, but the pizza was delicious cold the next day. If you do order Mythic using GrubHub, be sure to tell the driver that you left your tip through the online service; I hate when they think you stiffed them when you really didn't. I'll definitely give this place another try, but not before I've tried a bunch of other places.

Seth H.

I would venture to say this is one of the best slices in SF. I like the fact they prep and cook the slices right as you order.
(4)
Laura C.

Don't go here unless you are drunk! If you've been out drinking all night and you desperately need a slice, Mythic Pizza is your place! It's not particularly good pizza, but it's pizza and it's cheap and it's fast. The slices are generously sized and dripping with delicious cheesy grease. It's that kind of pizza. Drunk pizza. Enjoy! Conversely, if you are stone cold sober and looking for an actual meal, move along and find something better.

Evan A.

Pretty good pizza. I often grab a slice when visiting the Lower Haight drinking establishments or sometimes for takeout. The delivery guys are cool and the pizza usually arrives hot although sometimes not. In those cases I assume my house was the last on a delivery route so I have to re-heat in the oven. My main complaint: The edges of the crust are done pretty well, not to crispy, not too doughy but the center is under-done more often than not. I hate when I pick up a slice and it flops dropping all the good stuff onto my plate. Then I have to pick it up with my fingers or a fork and pile it back on. Not cool. My favorite of their specialties is the "Haight Street" which has many yummy veggies + garlic and pesto.

Damon P.

I've walked by a few times and grabbed a slice of pizza. It was A-OK. Enough that I've come back. Never had delivery, but I've heard bad things from friends.

Open up a can of Hunt's tomato sauce. Spread evenly on a slice of Wonder Bread. Place a Kraft Single on top. Heat in toaster oven for 5 minutes. Congrats - you're easily topped Mythic Pizza. The pizza and salad were abysmal in every way possible. I was sober. Avoid.
(1)
Amy M.

Here's the deal. Their pizza is awesome. Their chicken wings. So good. Their open really late, and are right next to Noc Noc's, which is right next to my house. Downfall. The people who work there screwed me a bit. I got a some different things on the menu the total price was $13.15. He rang me up for $131.55. The guy then proceeded to look at me and said "Oh no, i made a really big mistake I'm going to void it" ...Here's the thing. Not only did i overdraft $55 in my account and have to pay overdraft fees, but it took a really long time for the money to come back into my account. Good pizza. I just think it's a bit ridiculous that you dont notice when you've rang someone up for $131 without thinking twice.

Andrew M.

Good, not great; this place falls right on 3 stars. I haven't been to many pizza places in SF yet. I will come back and update my review once I've had some more pizza in the city.

Berna T.

The Tijuana - jalapenos, sausage, tomatoes, garlic, onion, and cheese - served in a giant slice for less than $5. Bad date food if you intend on making out with someone. Good food if you intend on drinking till the wee hours in the morning. That is all.
(3)
Luke M.

Sometimes you need pizza, and I guess Mythic is not that bad. It's one of those places where they pile toppings onto cheese pizza and put more cheese on top. I'm not opposed to that as a matter of pizza law, but 2 stars not 3 for frequently dishing up slices with the toppings stone cold.
(2)
desiree n.

Greasy. Cheesy. Meaty. If I had eaten here like all my friends did I wouldn't have had a hang over the next day...like I did. I did have a bite. And it was delicious.
(5)
Joshua W.

All in all, a pretty sad excuse for pizza. The only reason to come here is if you're out drinking in the lower haight after places like Rosamunde , Ali Baba's, and Memphis Minnie's have closed and you MUST get something to eat before you leave the neighborhood. The crust doesn't know what style it wants to be and easily breaks if you get anything with more than one topping on it. The pizza in general is just too damned greasy (and that says a lot if I'm calling something too greasy). There's a reason this place is a running joke next door at the Toronado. If you've been drinking all night and you can STILL tell how bad the pizza is, that's some really bad pizza. God only knows how bad my impression of this place would be if I actually came here sober for once.
(2)
Sophie D.

DELICIOUS. My 5 star review may have been induced by my blood alcohol content at the time but I do remember is being truly scrumptious ! Grab a slice and go ... not really a place to sit and eat so much ... it's more ideal for that end of the night, need to stuff your face kind of establishment.
(5)
Light Bulb J.

If you are in the mood for some perfect pepperoni pizza, order one here. These guys have the most flavorful pepperoni I've ever had. However, you have to order the whole pizza, because when put onto an individual slice to order the pep just doesn't taste the same. The crust is thick, the sauce has a great amount and taste. No comment on the cheese, because I pull it off due to lactose-intolerance. But my roommate loves it. They put up with a lot of drunken BS from my friends. In store you get your order quick. Good food, good FAST service. Go here.
(4)
Gary N.

With all due respect to "Joshua WW.", get a life. If you want snob pizza, take your designer clothes, pay a bundle and hit North Beach. We don't need you in Lower Haight. This is good pizza, offered by the slice. It's hand-thrown dough, not too thick and not too thin, cooked correctly, AND REALLY, REALLY CHEAP!! You can get a really tasty huge slice of cheese pizza here for 2.50. Get off your snob wagon and get with the good eats.
(4)
Iain T.

Mythic's not somewhere I'd go during daylight hours for good pizza, but it serves its purpose - to soak up booze after a night on the tiles. The Mythic slice basically comes with everything, and way too much cheese. The only complaint is they don't cook the onions before puting them on the pie, so you get chunks of nearly raw onion dropping off.
(3)
Devin A.

Good breadstick/pizza by the slice option in a pinch. I ended up going here instead of Love and Haight because the people I was with weren't into vegan sangwiches. The pesto was really punchy and rich, crust was crunchy, breadsticks were pretty standard fare. I'd definitely go back if I was at bars in the lower haight or nearby.
(3)
Robert M.

Crappy pizza literally THROWN at you by people who couldn't care less. The owner was behind the counter and his presence was nothing but detrimental. Am I the only person that likes to be treated with respect even when I'm drunk? Opening up next to a bar is the ONLY reason this place is still open.

Matsuo U.

Stream of consciousness review of "Mythic" : It was late (11 PM), had no dinner (working in a coal mine without stopping), was on Haight St ( is this where the Haighters live ?), needed food (not a lot of options at this hour) , saw Mythic ( I like myth's, never have had a Mythic pizza), every table filled (ok, well, there are a grand total of four), the miracle happens (yes Virginia, miracles can happen at pizza joints @ 11PM) - two Haightsters busy texting decided they had completed their mission (probably posting that they just had pizza) and left (hallelujah), friend grabs table (like making a "b" line for the cab in Manhattan) , order the "meat lovers" pie (wished it had more MEAT, cheese was good & gooey), pie landed on the counter fresh out of the oven with an announcement "Meat Lovers READY" (this would have another meaning in another neighborhood), watch the Haighsters roam in and out with their coveted slice (must be the "go to" source for late night bites), watch one Haightster (more like a fatster) down a giant calzone (this was a wow moment.... "but to each their own"), survey the decor (another wow moment ... a giant gold colored track light with giant light cans, cheap posters on the walls, large windows to watch the Haight world meander or stumble by). Would return for another Mythic experience, if I were in the same set of circumstances (see above).
(3)
Casi C.

Seeing as this place is open until 2a.m. I would definitely categorize it as a late night munchy spot. I actually went to this spot sober for some pizza and was definitely NOT impressed! The pizza seemed warmed up rather than fresh. The two guys behind the counter seemed like they could care less about being there (which I guess I can't blame them). And the tables were dirty. Since there are only 3 tables in this small spot and no other customers were there I feel it would be a small inconvenience to take a soap rag to the table to wipe off the previous customers mess. If you see me there again it's because I've had a few too many vodka tonics and I need food STAT!
(2)
Jeff J.

Sold pizza. Crisp and thinnish. I will be going back to try the pesto. Had the cheese slice $2.50. 3 tables, a "pizza shelf" with 3 stools and soft drinks. Efficient, tasty.

Alex C.

I've ordered from Mythic religiously, and have always been happy with the quality, and fast delivery.....until tonight. We ordered online, paid with a credit card etc....40 minutes later we get a buzz, Pizza Dude is here (Yay!). However, they didn't run the card, and need cash....."ok, no worries, I'll scrounge it up, be right back." I say. Go upstairs, get the cash, come back look out the gate, and Pizza Dude is PISSING ON THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE!!!!! Its one thing for the various SOMA crazies doing their thing on Minna Street, but the pizza delivery guy? That's too far. How hygienic is this? I don't know about you, but I don't piss with someone else's food in my hands...just a common courtesy. Totally disgusting, don't order from Mythic, you might just get the urinating delivery special with your pizza.
(1)
Eric E.

They have this thing called "Deep Dish"...except it's not. You want deep dish, go to Little Star or Patxi's. Mythic's "deep dish" is really just way too much cheese piled onto a pizza. How dare they tease me with those two magic words! Their regular pizza is fine, though--and is the Lower Haight's only late-night pizza option. And any place that turns down sports in favor of showing the Sesame Street holiday special on their television set can't be all bad! Also, their garlic bread is cheap but irresistable when you're drunk. And so am I.
(3)
Hunter G.

I was going to look up the word Mythic and then describe how not mythic this pizza is. I ordered the pesto slice which was a cheese slice squirted with some green sauce like frosting on a cookie. The crust was crispy and the pizza was nice and hot but pesto it was not. All the slices are made "fresh" within two minutes and they kind of have sandwiches but there was nothing mythic about it. You wanna know the sad thing? I'll prolly end up going back in there after I have a few Black Prince Porters from Toronado and I'll try something else.

matthew r.

Girl and I were getting slices of pizza here. Girl: Im gonna have some of your slice too, ok? Me: ok. Drunk Guy: Don't be a sap! Stand your ground! A mutual understanding and respect for each other's rights and needs is the foundation of any relationship, whether it's romantic or a platonic friendship or a business partnership. You make sacrifices here and there, but ultimately if all parties involved aren't benefitting, things will end badly for everyone. I've had better pizza than what Mythic offers, honestly. The crust is a little doughy and the ingredients don't seem cooked in well enough; It almost feels like you're eating each topping seperately. I've had much worse though. It's perfectly acceptable when you're full of lower haight beer and rosamunde is closed. She had a little of my slice that night. I ate part of hers. It worked out.
(3)
Rocky M.

This is my go-to slice. Five blocks from home, a door away from Noc Noc, and it's just darned good pizza. I'll put out there that I dislike Aranell and like chicago pies, though these slices are neither style. Thicker than NYC but thinner than standard. Perfect mix between chew and crunch, for my tastes. Mythic is consistent. They heat 'em up just enough (I am a plain cheese slice guy, usually) and it's in your grubby little hands lickety-split. Drown it down with a Mexican coke in a bottle. Watch the riff-raff alternating with the hipsters out the window. Even motorcycle parking spaces right out front.

Ryan G.

Pizza is OK. Nothing special here, but the location is perfect if you find yourself at Toronado. And since we were just at the bar, we found ourselves here twice in the same night. Not some testament to the quality of pizza more like we were hungry between beers. And after the night was over to. The longstanding combination of beer and pizza is a sacred tradition on a night out. The Hawaiian was quite good, compared to some other pizza joints in San Francisco. What is unique about Mythic pizza is there is no pizza on display. Usually in your haze of booze or hunger you stare at the warm pizza through the glass and make your decision. Here you have to actually consult a menu. GASP. I Interesting to say the least because they have a sign up that says, "All slices made to order in 2 minutes!" How can they get away with just making anything so quick. Guess I am unclear on the secrets of the pizza industry. Obviously quality might be forsaken when you put short a time span on something. But they do an OK job. Although we were timing them and the average was more around 3 to 4 minutes. Not SHABBY at all!
(2)
Richa A.

I got a slice of "The Haight" and it was pretty great. Mmm pesto and garlic (and spinach and mushroom and other deliciousness). A little overpriced for a slice maybe ($4.75)? But you're paying for the convenience of it being open late.
(4)
Tian X.

The pizza here is honestly, not very good, It's super-greasy and it will probably might even make you a little sick. However, if you've been out partying all night and are subject to certain substance, this place is open very late and really hits the spot for those late night munchies. Its certainly not the greatest pizza place, but it fulfills a certain niche.
(3)
Lauren F.

This aint no five star joint and i aint the classiest of broads, but when its 1am, and i need something to soak up the alcohol so my classy ass dont hurl...Mythic Pizza does the trick. Big, tasty slices...cheap...open late. Thats good enough for me. Grub
(4)
Susan L.

Ok, I'll preface this by saying that I'm not picky about my pizza. I'll eat the frozen microwave stuff and I'll stoop even lower and eat Domino's if I have to. Pizza is just one of those foods that you just HAVE to like...because...well, that's they way life is and has set itself up to be! I ordered a piece of the combo. I liked how they had this squirt bottle of "mystery cheese" they put on top before re-warming my slice. The pizza was great (went perfectly with the 2 pints of Stella already occupying the inside of my tummy) and to top it ALL off, they have HUGE squirt bottles of Tapatio randomly scattered throughout the place for you to drench your pizza to your hearts content. And boy did I! I'd go back again on a Friday night around midnight after beers at Danny Coyles. For sure.

Britney L.

After a day of drinking at bay to breakers, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this little joint. It took a while to get our food but it was made fresh and the taste was really good. We were entertained while watching the drunken shenanigans the fellow customers were bringing.

Matthew H.

Holy shit! This pizza is amazing! I don't mean it is amazing in that "my taste buds just realized their purpose in life and have decided there is no point in a continued existence" type of amazing. What I mean is that I'm pretty sure the food here is the most exactly perfectly average food ever. An absolute, exact 2.5 stars for the food. The interior of the place is dirty, but not "I think that rat is going to try to steal my food" type dirty. Again, I'd award it an exact 2.5 stars. See, most places are actually "almost, but not quite 3 stars", or "close enough to count as five stars", but not Mythic Pizza - it is exactly 2.5 stars. Amazing!
(3)
Sarah C.

Mythic is the go to spot for late night drunk pizza. It goes down easy and lets u dive into a sleep coma. Be sure to not wipe the grease stains on your t shirt if you decide that its easier to do that than use a napkin. If you do so, the next day you will be convinced that someone ate pizza off your chest and will wonder who that mystery person was. Just another Sunday AM post Mythic.

rani s.

yum yum yum! Lots of veggie options and you can take your slice next door to Toronado!
(5)
Dicky D.

The tastiness of the pizza here is in direct correlation to the number of beers consumed next door...unfortunately I still haven't been able to drink enough to make the pizza taste good. Somehow, I imagine that there is a yet undiscovered equilibrium between drinking enough to make the pizza taste good without drinking too much so that I forgo the pizza and end up clinging to my bathroom instead. One obligatory star for being obligatory.

Adequate pizza. Nothing really stood out. Didn't live up to the hype; I think it's just the best pizza on that particular strip of Haight.

Sammy S.

I really wish this place was called Mystic Pizza. Then I could reminisce about watching Julia Roberts back when she wore jeans up to her armpits and Lili Tyler being all horny about doing her fisherman boyfriend in the john at the pizza parlor, all while munching away on a pie. I ordered a slice of the Athens (I think) which had pesto, feta and olives and about two pint glasses worth of grease. I'm a little mystified (another reason it should be called Mystic Pizza) about the pesto sauce on top of the pizza rather than under the cheese. It was poor man's pesto pizza, but I still ate it like I was a contestant in a pie eating contest. It's not the most amazing pizza I ever had, but I'm pretty sure if I had been hammered while eating this pizza for the first time I would have seen stars or Care Bears or some shit like that.
(3)
Viv C.

I really wanted to like Mythic because every neighborhood needs a pizza-by-the-slice place. I've "dined" here a couple of times without much thought to the pizza. The previous precedents for eating here was merely for some cheap sustenance after helping a friend move into her new apartment or after a really long day of work. Last night I came here with the intention of having two slices as my dinner. This wasn't to be a snack but my main meal. Bad idea. One should not put so much importance on a pizza place like this. I ordered the pesto and the greco. $6 for two large slices. But oye, SO SALTY! I had to drink two bottles of water to replenish my system. And so greasy. Not the good kind of grease either. I could almost feel the oil sloshing around in my stomach for the rest of the night. And the crust wasn't even that good. Boo. Alas, this is the kind of pizza one consumes when you're not thinking about what you eating (lowered food standards)...i.e. drunk, high or extremely tired.
(2)
Ryan T.

Great late night meal. Lots of choices and one slice will have you coming back for more.

You can get a slice anyway you want it... for a price! Great after drinking food, good anytime food.

Pete J.

I used to drop into Mythic while drunk a lot, & until recently I insisted it was one of the better pizza joints in the city. The turning point being that I ate there sober. Naturally. I know that sounds bad. But I don't want to seem too harsh on a place that has done me good for this long (I've dropped in on practically every drunken walk home from the Mission ever). This is still solid pizza, & I'd send anyone here for a slice without hesitation.
(3)
Miranda L.

I'm not sure what people are complaining about, this place is perfect for extremely tasty slices, covered with fresh toppings at a decent price. Yeah its not healthy by any means but I don't believe that to be a necessary category when judging pizza joints. The crust isn't too thin and its definitely not deep dish, its a bit messy because of the all the toppings they put on but again I think thats a good thing. If you want a dainty slice of pepperoni like you get at the mall, this isn't the place for you. But if you want a place with a variety of slices, all delicious, it's my favorite place in the city.

Aaron I.

THEY ARE OPEN PAST 2 AM!!!!!!!! This is not as heavy as the infamous Seniore's, less greasy not as much cheese garlic etc. Expect to wait in line if you go there late nite and beware of stinky homeless homie that comes in every 5 minutes after they kick him out. Stand outs are the greco, chicken and broccoli, artichoke hearts, pesto, mmm! The secret sauce is tasty, but what is in it???? Cheap better than average slices, esp after a nite of drunken stuper.
(4)
Mike T.

Not all pizza is created equal and I'm OK with that. The thing that bugs me more than the bad pizza at mythic is the convenience. Its located two blocks from my apartment and surrounded by bars... open late even. Even though bad pizza is better than no pizza, i would prefer that they served good pizza.
(2)
Shanna B.

i've eaten here probably a dozen times or more. Just never while I was exactly...sober. Perfect drunky late-night after-bar pizza stop. Good selection of specialty pizza slices. Pesto comes to mind? It serves its purpose, so 4 Stars for all of my 2am satisfied drunky pizza demands.

Christine M.

It's OK to judge a book by the cover here. Mostly. Yea, it's what you'd expect. Mediocre crust, mediocre cheese, mediocre etc. But I cannot tear myself away from the sun dried tomatoes. They really make a slice spectacular (especially after a few beers at Toronado).

Mythic Pizza has been my savior on many, many a drunken night out at the Lower Haight terrible three: Toronado, Noc Noc and Molotov's. Normally it would be a three-strikes-and-you're-out type of thing, meaning three-strikes-and-you're-on-the-bathroom-floor-Âall-night type of thing, but nosh two large slices of cheese pizza from Mythic before passing out and you'll be ready for a Bloody Mary in the morning. Trust me on this. I'm a very trustworthy lady -- and I voted for Obama.

How to Get Hit On in the Lower Haight: Part 1 Step 1: Go to Mythic Pizza. Buy 1 slice pesto pizza per lady. Step 2: Bring said slice to bar. ex: Molotov's. Step 3: Avoid eye contact with all males, devote attention soley to slice consumption. Step 4: Single Male takes bait and joins table in attempt to pilfer said slice. Step 5a:If attracted to Single Male, offer bite of pizza. Mutual love of pesto goodness prevails and conversation ensues. Step 5b: If repulsed by Single Male, offer bite of pizza in exchange for free shot. Note: nearly finish consumption of slice while waiting for free shot. Take shot, offer crust to Repulsing Single Male, return to Step 1. Repeat.

Sometimes love breaks your heart. And sometimes, it makes you puke. Mythic does the latter which also does the former, because I love Mythic Pizza. How much do I love Mythic Pizza? Last 4th of July, after a long, stomach-filling bbq, Boyfriend and I watched the fireworks in Alamo Square. When the fireworks were over, the tummy was still stuffed from bbq food, but I made Boyfriend go with me to Mythic because I NEEDED TO SMELL IT. The whole thing made total sense to him - we're like a match made in heaven, or at least in a place that smells like heaven. Anyway, last night was the 2nd night that after eating Mythic, my stomach decided something was awry and pizza made an unbecoming 2nd appearance. But I'll go back because it so freaking tasty. Sometimes immunity, like love, takes patience.

"You better not give any place that melts toppings on top of already cooked cheese pizza more than two stars!!!" -the boyfriend I, however, enjoyed my spinach and mushroom melted cheese pizza slice from Mythic late Saturday (ok...i guess it counts as early sunday morning). So, plus one more star. He did, however, have trouble validating his argument when he tried to steal my piece and run away. I'm pretty sure he ate the paper plate too.

Best pizza you can order on Grubhub. Order it!!!!! Plus they are realllly fast. Got my pizza in 28 mins

Great place to run into if you just wanna grab a bite for cheap. I walked in this place a little after 12 and the wait was not even bad. Like they all say, you get what you pay for and for this pizza, you really do get what you pay for. At less than $5/slice, I would say they are pretty generous on their portions. Simple menu selections at this place... You cant pass this place up on a drunken night...

Nothing to write home about but I've had worse. One positive is that they have the slices hot and ready.

Decent pizza if you've had too much to drink, but then again I'm sure cat food would taste like the best shit you've ever had by that point. I actually can't remember any time where I've been there and didn't just come from a long night of brew and billiards at Zeitgeist or Delirium. Their delivery service is a bit different. After waiting an hour and a half for our pizza, the guy didn't bring us the free 2 liter we had a coupon for (and is on ALL OF THEIR MENUS!). It happens and I wasn't too upset but before I wrote the tip on the credit card slip, I told him I don't mind that he forgot the 2 liter but I still want it. I asked if he would bring it to me when he goes back out for another delivery and he said yes. I tipped him like $1.75 and never saw the guy again. He was an asian guy so watch out for him if he delievers to you. I'm starting to think the free 2 liter thing is a ploy by all the pizza places. 4 out of 5 times they conveniently forget the 2 liter, or bring us regular coke when we ask for diet coke.

Pretty damn good, came in here late night and got a slice of Athens with my boy (artichoke, garlic, pesto). Was really cheesy and satisfying. :)

not the best slice in town, but it will do the job pre or post drinks on lower haight.

This place is the last place open in Lower Haight for late night munchies, and early enough in the morning for hangover helper. Does this place ever close? They deliver, their pizza is often damn good and for $5 you can't get a better deal on a full size meatball sub in the city (if you can, please tell me where it's at). UPDATE: I tried thier pizza sober and it was not quite as good as I remember. The meatball sub is still solid though.

this slice is HUGE ! my favorite is black olive & mushroom {with a side of ranch for dipping!}

Upon picking-up a carry-out order, I noticed that the restaurant has rats.

auh-maz-ing. mythic is definitely my go-to post-bars food of choice. the Mediterranean pizza is covered in a sea of delicious pesto and the crust is cooked to perfection, recently i added "every type of meat you have" to the Mediterranean and it was definitely an explosion of deliciousness.

N S.

The pizza really isn't bad. I enjoyed it. The guy who works there calls me "boss." When I walked in this evening he was like "what'll it be, boss." This made me feel like I was in control. I'll tell you one thing, if there were ladies around me when I bellowed out "slice of pepperoni, chief," they would have been all up on my codpiece. The sheer bass in my voice alone would have caused a panty-dropping domino effect up and down Haight street. The pizza was ready in a few minutes. You should have seen the way I shook that crushed red pepper up on that slice. It was regular pepper when I first grasped it, but after a few vigorous shakes, I crushed that shit. I'm mad nice like that. The guy must have been some sort of prophet because that ninja knew enough to call me boss in the first place. I guess this was the mythic aspect of the pizza experience. I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed that at no point did Prometheus bust up through door and demand hot fire. The pizza gets 3 stars. I get funky.

I've been here a couple of times over the years and most recently went here after a recent Yelp happy hour...but only because Memphis Minnie's and Rosamunde were closed, dammit! I had a slice of their pesto and a slice of their cheese pizza, and both were decent. Greasy, but decent. Actually, they were better than decent at the time, but that was because I was starving... Based on my observations, I'll definitely stick to cheese or pesto slices if I come here again. I'm not a huge fan of 'let's take a slice of cheese, add a bunch of toppings and then put some other type of cheese on top of it' slices of pizza...

I have a secret that I'm not proud of but I need to get it off my chest. . . I ended up at Mythic Pizza plastered twice last weekend. Yes that's right both Friday AND Saturday night. Both nights were quite different so let me explain. Friday night went to happy hour with all the other lovely Yelpers. F.U.N. I had to leave to go to some fancy shmancy party at Frisson where you need to dress up. It could have been great had there been a completely different crowd and dj. Lot's of white people dancing to rap. I had bottle service which did not make up for the ridiculousness in attitude happening all around me. I left after about an hour dressed up but drunk. I'm walking down Haight Street in heals and there's the beautiful light of Mythic Pizza. Just what I needed! I thought the slice was great. Cheap, crispy, and fast. Ate my pizza although I did burn the top of my mouth so be careful! Okay Saturday night different story. . .this one I feel a little more guilty about because I spent the day hanging out having a great time. I even ate excellent sushi for dinner, drank some wonderful wine. I left my companions house and hopped in a cab headed for bed. . .instead I had the cab leave me out in front of Mythic Pizza! I got another slice. The pizza was so good the night before I thought a little snack before bed wouldn't hurt again. . . I had the Haight slice Friday night which was YUMMY, and then the Veggie slice Saturday night. I thought both were delish and I'm not even that big a pizza eater. I feel so much better that I got this off my chest. Mythic Pizza Lower Haight Dwellers Drunken Dream. . . Cheap, Crispy, Quick!

Todd E.

I like how the pizza here gets better and better the later it is and the more I've had to drink... Open late, proximate to drinking establishments and cheap...It's not the best pizza I've ever had but it is far from the worst... Now when are they going to open the one on 6th Street so I can have the same experience when I'm drunk in my own neighborhood?
(3)
linda t.

Pizza in 3 minutes. Not too bad - the hawaiian is actually quite good :) It's not my top choice, but it's open late and the guys are friendly.
(3)
A Train M.

All you haters need to re-evaluate what you are judging here. It's a $2-3 piece of pizza available nearly any time you want it. That means, everyone leaving any concert venue at 3 a.m. can get a slice to fill their tummy and meet up with fellow party doggs on the street. What's not to love about that? If you think it's oily, grab a napkin. It's that simple. Also, the dude that does card tricks in front and always seems to scam people's $18 in change is classic.
(5)
Jonas D.

Everytime I'n drunk in the Haight I always think of this place, it's opened late and has what I want: booze sponge with both meat, onions and mushrooms! Solid~
(3)
christopher h.

i dont believe i have ever been to mythic sober that i can think of, so based on that fact, this pizza is not that shabby. Not great, by any means, but not terrible either. It sorta reminds me of a crispy thick bread with tomato sauces a ton of toppings and lots and lots of cheese, perfect for a late snack, but not really a true "pizza". Pizza is thin not "chicago", it's thin like in nj/ny. Anyway, this place is okay if you've been drinking, but i dont think you should go sober because that would be dumb. I kinda feel bad for the ppl that work there because a lot of dumb asses go there all drunk. One time I saw these 3 guys that were dressed like they were in the mob, but one guy had a high pitched voice so it was kinda funny, so yeah i can kinda see how these guys are pretty frank at the counter when they take your order.
(3)
Bailey S.

Not knowing this place's reputation, I drunkenly ordered a slice on which "garlic" was a featured ingredient. I dug in and got about halfway through before I realized *just* how powerful the pizza I was eating actually was: As if the pickled potency of the artichoke hearts wasn't enough, I think they snuck the Gross Annual Product of Gilroy onto my slice. I nibbled a little more before calling it quits. But as my friend finished eating, he remarked how garlicky his plain cheese slice was. "Really?" I asked incredulously. After determining that he wasn't just suffering from second hand garlic, I convinced him to try a bite of my slice. It was an eye opening experience for him.
(2)
Devi G.

For delivery - this pizza is cheap and fast, but a little greasy. I prefer the eat-in option, or grabbing a slice after bar. The pizza holds up better when it's directly received from the oven.
(3)
Surf R.

If you're hungry or drunk and it's late - plus you're broke - then by all means get a slice here. $2.50 for a slice of cheese when you need a quick fix. For what it is - a hole in the wall pizza place surrounded by bars - it'll do the trick. I find myself wandering down when I get hungry late at night and I realize that I don't have anything in my fridge so I won't complain. You get what you pay for so if you're expect gourmet pizza and ambiance, then you should look elsewhere.
(3)
Hebrew K.

I'm pretty sure that being a total fucking asshole to everyone you speak to is a prerequisite for working here, but apart from that they make a pretty adequate slice of cheese pizza. If you're drunk and hungry... consider going somewhere else. If you're drunk, hungry AND broke, you have arrived. Give your money to the cat with a look on his face like someone's stabbing him in the balls every time he has to break a twenty, and he'll hand it to the dude grilling you like "the fuck I have to cook this for" and eventually you'll get your greasy slice of pizza. No, it isn't the best. It isn't the worst either. It's like that girlfriend you almost eloped with but whose name you've now forgotten. Eat here if you must.
(3)
Katie D.

This slice-of-pizza place is better than anything else I've had in the city thus far. Better than Escape from NY, better than Nizarios... They make it fresh so it doesn't have that crisp, overbaked taste. And when you say extra mushrooms, that is what you get! Only been here 3x but have no idea why it gets such bad reviews...and hopefully I won't find out!

How mythic is Mythic?! The best cheap late-night shady-looking pizza in town.

Josh K.

A couple years ago, my doctor thought I might have narcolepsy and ordered some tests that required me to stay awake the night before, with no caffeine or stimulants of any kind. I had my whole night of wakefulness all planned out, but then I sliced my finger open while I was cooking dinner around 10pm and had to spend a few hours at the emergency room getting stitches. By the time I got home, I had to scrap my dinner-making plans and decided to order a pizza from Mythic. I picked it up, brought it home, and realized that they'd given me someone else's order! But they were closed by that time and I was stuck with one of those nasty "white" pizzas with clams and no tomato sauce. But I was hungry so I ate it. It was gross, and not just because it was one of those nasty "white" pizzas with clams. I've lived in the Lower Haight for three years, and that's the only time I've eaten at Mythic. On the plus side, I don't have narcolepsy (hence the second star).
(2)
Nicolas H.

It's actually not that bad if you let the grease pour off the slice for a minute before eating...
(3)
Jim T.

I love their pizza. Maybe it's because I used to live around the corner from it. Maybe it's because they're open really late in a city where most stuff shuts down at 10pm. Maybe it's just because, for San Francisco, they've got some of the best slices. Beats other pizza joints on Haight (upper and lower) hands down, IMHO, including Escape from NY and North Beach (which is crap, mostly).
(5)
Corey C.

4 stars because they're good at what they do: good pizza fast! They claim it's in 2 minutes, but it's more like 4 minutes 27 seconds. The way it works is that they have pre-made cheese pizza ready to go, and they just put your toppings on the slices, add some cheese, put it back in the oven for a bit, and there you go! A testament to their quick service: while I was waiting, a muni bus double parked outside the restaurant, and the bus driver ran out and into the restaurant, grabbed a soda and his slice, and ran back into the bus! The passengers' expressions were classic :)
(4)
Katie S.

Once, while extremely drunk, I took a few bites of a slice of Mythic Pizza and threw it away. It was pretty terrible pizza, but I was promptly shamed by my crew for throwing away pizza when there were drunk, hungry people around. I guess that's how I see Mythic Pizza. If you are SO drunk and SO hungry that you'll eat bad pizza, it's okay. Otherwise, you may end up dumping most of a slice in the trash and then throwing a drunken tantrum about wanting tacos.
(2)
Danielle L.

REALLY, when it comes down to it - mythic makes an alright slice. They get the job done. Though the pre-made cheese slice with 'fresh' (raw-ish)toppings and 'fresh' cheese melty drizzle might seem kinda gruck, I love it.
(3)
Tom H.

I still love the single pesto slice here, but I've found that there is a substantial difference between the quality of the per-slice pizza and a whole pie here. They seem to cook the in house pizza longer, so it ends up a bit crisper, as the last couple times I've ordered a whole pie to go it's been way soggy in the middle, such that you can't really eat it by hand. Kind of disappointing. At least it's still good for a late night snack run.
(3)
Mark A.

This is what late-night pizza should be. Very affordable ($2.50), and so much awesome greasy cheese all over it. Lots of great toppings available, and great hours. I've only gotten pizza here, but I hear the subs are great too.
(4)
Sean K.

With the price of dough on the rise, it is nice to find a spot that doesnt jack you for a slice. $2 will get you a nice slice of cheesey goodness after a few beers next door at the Toronado.

Janice K.

Mythic Pizza is the best pizza you can get in lower haight. It's perfect after a late night at the surrounding bars or for delivery. This past summer I probably ate mythic two times a week. I live in the mission so I'd call at about 3 a.m. and request a small cheese for delivery (or pesto...mmm so good). But several times I'd passout before the pizza arrived. This caused some serious friction between me and mythic. They began to refuse delivery and stopped answering my calls. :[ One night I happened to be in lower haight, so I went in, grabbed a slice and mended the bridges burned. Now I have no problems ordering my favorite neighborhood pizza after a night out or if I feel like some ubercheesey goodness.
(4)
Tamas K.

Mythic pizza earned a legendary high reputation among Lower Haighters by it's incredible tasty pizza slices. The place itself is suited next to some small dirty bars and the tiny interior lacks any kind of luxury, besides there are often huge lines of drunken youth people queueing up on the street, but don't let any of these issues turn you away from this place; while queueing at the first time, keep in mind this place opens up it's secrets only for the true believers. Once you've tried their incredible tasty pizza, you'll totally understand why those people are queueing there day and night. My personal all time favorite is the Tijuana slice which is why I'm so happy to living only 2 blocks away from this place. Besides it's often open until 4am which makes this place purely a life saver in rough times. Just be careful and don't go too often or you might find yourself there randomly at 1am waiting for your slice without realizing you're already totally addicted to probably the best pizza in the town, just like me.
(5)
Jennifer M.

I don't know what the hell is the matter with everyone. Are you taking crazy pills??! Mythic, at least by the slice, is crispy, cheesy, garlicky sex. And they don't card it when you bring it to the Toronado. I say, yay big goopy slices with cute names.
(4)
John P.

I was hungry so I grabbed a slice of plain. My sister got a slice of "Haight". Mine was alright, but the crust seemed a bit doughy. I'm used to a thinner crust perhaps. I tried a bite of the "haight" It had pesto, and bunch of other stuff, that was pretty good.
(3)
Catrinel A.

I love to haight this place...no really, I do. It IS good when I end up having it but it is rare that I go totally out of my way to seek it out. I know they have a pretty good pizza and wings deal which I have had delivered in the past. Ask about it!
(3)
Gil S.

Nobody else likes this joint but dammit, when I'm beering up the Haight and need my pizza by the slice, I take a grilled chicken and broccoli, maybe some sundried tomatoes, bag it to Toronado or Noc Noc and it is perfection,closest to thing to a hammock in Costa Rica by the waterfall you can get at 1:30 on a Wednesday morning.
(4)
George S.

The only thing Mythic about Mythic Pizza is that the pizza you order isn't the pizza they deliver. We ordered "the Haight" but got a Hawaiian, which was a nasty shock. Who orders a pizza with pineapple on it anyway? Even drunk, it didn't taste that good. They did get two stars for being open at 2.30am and delivering quickly - so if that's what you are looking for, this is your place (Escape from New York were already closed).
(2)
Zach J.

I started frequenting this joint because it is conveniently located next door/across the street from the Lower Haight bars, and is stumbling distance when you need to follow up a night of excessive drinking with a thick, greasy slice of pizza. It was nothing more than that. But, the true test of good pizza, I started going there when I was sober, and really enjoyed it, particularly their Greco slice (pesto, olive, feta). That's a slice I simply have to have at least once a month. Turns out they do make pretty good pizza. Big, thick, greasy slices that hit the spot every time. Good stuff!

Randall T.

Hot, tasty pizza that's perfect after drinking at Toronado.
(4)
Katii S.

Slice by slice the vegetarian pizza is great! I hate going to those places where they think canned veggies and overcooked vegetables actually taste good on a pizza! Mythic uses fresh vegetables (iv'e seen the them bring them in and they are fabulous!) The veggies stay nice and crunchy while soaking in the heat from the oven and cooking just ever so slightly on the top. Mythic really makes an amazing veggie pizza, I am no longer satisfied by other places!
(4)
Sandee Y.

Good if you're in a pinch and can't decide what to eat. Boyfriend lives near Haight and it''s a short walk from his place. The only thing I'll eat there is the "Haight". At least I think that's what it's called. Vegitarian with a green pesto sauce...great hot, not so great the day after cold.
(3)
Ge O.

NOT a place to get a slice! (as mentioned, they do the recycle thing and it doesn't do their fresh pies justice. just forget it. i don't care how drunk you are. stop it!) order a whole pizza (and TRY not to be boring. you know... try something OTHER than cheese and pepperoni. C'MON! be a little creative, this is what they do best) before you go home for the night. go to toronado, have a beer or get some to go, exit, pick up pizza. walk/cab/fly home. enjoy. DELICIOUS! best enjoyed after 12. the guys who work there are really nice and they always have animal discovery shows on (mesmorizing when drunk). i have also been sober and had them deliver, so my opinion that their pizza is good is not a whiskey-goggles syndrome.
(4)
Ayrn H.

Wow...how can one call that pizza? I do give it one star for being open late on the Friday after New Years Day when no one else was open, but I think I would have rather starved then feel the grossness entering my mouth and go into my tummy, then feel the pain hours later. I also give it another star for excepting credit cards...especially when the pub across the street is cash only. My bf and I got a slice each of the meat combo thing which I think had pepperoni, sausage and 1 other kind of animal thrown on top of it. I had to scrape the sausage off quickly as it looked greyish-purple, but pepperoni is pepperoni and you really can't go wrong there. We didn't die and it didn't come back up, so I guess it is edible, but I wouldn't be stopping in again after a long drinking binge in that hood.
(2)
Eugene F.

Marginally tolerable "holy shit I just left the bar, it's 1am, and I'm starving" pizza. I wouldn't even think of eating here sober, and often times I choose to eat nothing at all, rather than eat here.
(2)
Rogerio F.

Ok , it really should've been a 3.5 stars because now I have found a new favorite pizza place which I shall review soon.In any case, I found this place because they left one of those fliers hanging on the door, so I decided to give it a try. I love the Haight (pesto, spinach and garlic), it's juicy with a bit of oil and that's a good thing. I've ordered it many a nights when you want something decadent. The hot wings are nothing to brag about tho. If you're getting it delivered, always mention you got a 'coupon for a free soda' even if you don't actually have it (tho you should if you have the menu with you)...
(4)
Uncle Fishbits Aeneas X.

This is a review for economy pizza. Remember that. Consistent, totally edible, and someone PLEASE recommend another pizza place as good as (egads I know) Round Table without the price. And since I am from here originally... NO... no I do not like thin crust shitty NY carboard pizza, nor do I like deep dish muckedy mucked up 70 napkin soup pie. Thank you very much. Their crust is pretty chewy. I like that. No.. it is not the greatest. But it does the job better than most others, especially after hours.
(3)
A L.

Was looking for a good pizza place. I found one! They like to use a LOT of cheese, so if you want more of a normal/average amount, ask for lite cheese. And, ricotta cheese is very very good on pizza, so think about adding it on the next time you order!
(4)
Kate A.

Ok, this place is not quality... and I'm from the east coast and lament the pizza quality out here... BUT i still have a place in my heart for mythic pizza because it's cheap and decent and i used to come here all the time when i moved to the neighborhood. I like to order the cheese with green peppers and the peppers are actually quite fresh. It's also the closest place for me to get a decent slice- Cybelle's is no good for slices.
(4)
Emmy Y.

You bring this pizza home for me after 2am on a Friday night, and I will eat it and then I will thank you for it. YUM!!! I'd make that 4 block walk any late night over the lazy man's delivery option from Cable Car Pizza (which delivers until 3am, but it's overpriced and not nearly as delicious as Mythic's plain cheese slice). I would like to add that their single slices are HUGE. I was starving to begin with, and I couldn't finish mine. Granted, as many have said before me... my love of Mythic Pizza might have something to do with the hour that I eat it.
(4)
Brittany L.

The pizza is definitely better than some of the shit I've had delivered, but it's nothing special. Slices are cheap and there's a nice selection of toppings so you don't always have to order the expensive specialty slices. The dudes working aren't total assholes, and the only trouble you'll find here is from the people partying at some wack bar like Noc Noc. I used to live a block away, and that was nice, but I wouldn't travel far and wide to eat their pizza. I probably won't eat there again unless I'm forced to. This place is a neighborhood favorite and it's reliable. Try garlic and pineapple - my usual slice.
(3)
Chris C.

The ultimate hangover food...for post-drinking adventures in the lower Haight. They know half the customers are probably drunk past midnight and craving a slice o' pie, but even when sober--their slices are still huge, slightly greasy yet satisfying and remarkably tasty, despite what all the mixed reviews say.
(3)
Gina R.

I would give it half a star more because sometimes the pizza is decent. But this is a rarity. The crust is bad and the cheese smells REALLY bad when you're drinking @ the noc. My only other gripe is that if you order toppings they put them on top of a cheese slice and then put some more cheese on it on top of whatever else you've ordered. And they charge you for this? That's why I haven't been back there, plus I don't eat cheese and the vegan slice is expensive for what it is: a bunch of veggies on bread. I can make that at home (and I do!) Volare's is much better.
(1)
Kenny L.

OK Pizza and convenient for the bars around the area. Little known fact: Their subs (especially Meatball) are way better than anything else on the menu.
(4)
Adam L.

They sell pizza? Who knew? 5 stars for the hot sauce. I could drink that shit straight. YUM. Put that on the pepperoni pizza and Im ready to bounce from noc-noc to molotovs, to toronado to Mad Dog.
(5)
Christine P.

I know it's a chain but it's so good for those late night gotta-have-grease cravings! The slices are huge and yummy and for a girl who prefers Chicago-style pizza, I inhaled the floury crust of my combo slice of pepperoni, mushroom and sausage. The Boyfriend had an all meat slice and was just as pleased. The price is great for the size and while the guys behind the counter aren't going to win any congeniality prizes, who cares, so long as they keep the greasy goodness coming.
(4)
Roman N.

Average, run of the mill pizza place. Their 'Haight' slice is pretty good--recommended.
(3)
Matt G.

When you go in to get a single slice the pizza is AMAZING. So crispy, so delicious. They make every piece to order! My favortie joint. BUT: When you order for delivery/a whole pizza beware. It was soggy, bland, and NOT worth the money. Avoid at all costs! Call Chico's instead.
(2)
NaN K.

Good when drunk? You must mean Black-Out-Drunk, c'mon folks! They should go on and change their name to Ray Bari...I know some of you katz know what I mean by that. It's hard for me to fathom how this place stays in business. There's no way those pies are keepin their doors open unless they're using them as door jams. Yelp! Please add a negative star system...it could really save some innocent digestive systems from gut bombs like this
(1)
M O.

This place is totally schizophrenic...sometimes the pizza is really, really good (four / four and half stars and worthy of dinner) and sometimes it's almost awful (barely two star). ...at first, I thought the place was just randomly inconsistent, but then I noticed the pizza was in its best form when one particularly soft spoken guy was there...it's also pretty good when the owners are around...but otherwise it can be really disappointing if you're looking for a tasty meal...though at 2am and after a bunch of drinks next door, it's the best (and only) option.
(3)
Michael E.

for middle of the night pizza in lower haight, there are plenty of choices, but they're all 2-3 blocks away from each other. Mythic is not remarkable in anyway, but if you want a quick slice, and you're close by, this is the place to go.
(3)
Josh R.

Three stars for the slice, one extra star for saving my life on a number of occasions when a warm, crunchy slice was just what the doctor ordered. If you want a gormet slice, you go to Paxies. Here? Here you get your down-to-earth, need-something-cause-I-had-one-too-many-BitburgersÂ-at-the-Toronado 'za that rocks your damn socks.

it's a good slice by san francisco standards. i never go to the lower haight bars but i imagine if i did, and if i left one drunk, the pizza from this place would be a slice of heaven. i frequent this place bc it's near my apt and it's a decent $2 meal. it's by NO MEANS east coast pizza, nor is it deep dish or flatbread. it's san francisco pizza, and by that standard it's pretty good.

This is my favorite place to get pizza in the middle of the night. I always get the veggie slice and the green peppers and mushrooms are usually still raw when it's ready. I don't mind. I just gobble it up, and thankfully I'm drunk enough not to feel guilty about all the calories, fat and carbs I've just consumed. Their huge, thick slices are perfect for absorbing all of the alcohol in my belly and giving me the strength to walk home. Does pizza taste better when you're drunk?

The only pizza on Haight that I keep returning to. I was absolutely black out drunk last night, and found out this morning that I went there at 2am. That means I have to love it. Minus one star for too much cheese if you order extra toppings. But other than that, Damn!

Irene S.

i used to drink at molotov's a lot. i used to stumble across the street and eat this pizza, slurping up every last delicious drunk bite before i knew what i was doing. i would always wake up at seven the next morning asking myself WHY?! also, one time a homeless man offered me the tail end of his joint while i was in one of my drunken friday night stupors, standing on the sidewalk in front of this place. i accepted. i think it might have been laced with pcp or something, cos the rest of that night was CRAZYTOWN. too crazy to even explain. to even BEGIN to explain.

Marcus E.

Seems like it is the only place on Haight open after 2AM. It was standard but relatively quick. I expected the slices to be a little bigger.

this is bad pizza. and that's a lot coming from a girl who loves pizza. I was slightly drunk the first time I had it and hungover and craving something greasy the second time. (These instances were weeks apart thank you very much). One will eat some pretty awful things in both these states, so my conclusion that the pizza sucks should speak for itself. Here is my theory on how the slices are made: they cook a large cheese pizza, leave it out for a while, and then when you order a slice they pile on all the things promised for you particular selection (except of course, if the sign says bacon which they're out of, so they use ham, hoping you won't notice) and then they send it back through the oven for about three quarters of the time necessary to actually melt this second layer of cheese or sufficiently warm up the added ingredients. This results in an awkward mound of room temperature toppings on an over-cooked crust.... and then they are a little rude overcharge you. Same experience both times, different slices. Sad, this place is right across from where I live and while a late night neighborhood pizza joint is an excellent alternative to all the other weird things one might eat at 3am, I think I'll stick to home-made grilled cheese when i need my late night cheese fix. Two stars for not having any bugs in the pizza or giving me food poisoning.

Kristen L - yes, Mythic Pizza IS bread with cheese and sauce on it. Perhaps this was only revolutionary to me because I was drunk and stoned. I've only been here once, but I have this policy: if the name of the restaurant appears as an item on the menu, you damn well order it on your virgin visit. So, as far as I know, the Mythic Pizza is the only slice they make here that's like that. And apparently some don't like it, but I thought the glopped cheese and sauce was awesome - no less visually!!! It looked like an extra-terrestrial's take on pizza. So I prefer complicated pizzas because each bite is a surprise; you're never sure which combination of toppings you'll get. In Mythic Pizza's case, cheese and sauce effectively qualified as toppings for these intents due to their uneven distribution. Insanity. DISCLAIMER: I may also be biased because I went on Halloween and something about being in a "Mythic"al place put me in the mood for an epic experience.

When boozing it up at the Toronado, I often find that the beer tastes better after I've shocked my tongue with the strong flavors of their "Haight" pizza. Garlicky enough that no one in their right mind would put their tongue anywhere near my mouth (unless, of course, they are running from vampires, in which case my mouth would be a perfectly safe if stinky place to be). It's not fine dining, it's not even spectacular pizza, but it's got a great location and at least one menu item I'll eat over and over again.
(3)
Shereen R.

Contrary to my friend's belief that this is the BEST pizza ever...I have to say that this place is pretty gross. The cheese is just way too thick and greasy. It even tasted like my pizza Playdoh set I had as a child. Playdoh even tastes better. I was drunk too! Even the shittiest food is supposed to taste like Heaven after alcohol consumption.

Marty M.

For pizza on the west coast this is pretty good. I get the deep dish "well done" and it's decent. I'd rank it in my top 10 for sure. Probably top 3 for spots with delivery.

Jhoe G.

It seems like whenever I'm slightly drunk, in the area, I end up here. Get the greek(?) pizza. I think that's what it's called, I'm usually drunk when I'm here so who knows. But its got feta and artichoke hearts, and pepperoni(I think). mmmmmm. But you can't really go wrong with the basic cheese or pep. slice. It seems to always be crowded right at 2 am, wonder why. but the workers always remembered who ordered what, some how.
(4)
Keith P.

Their pizza is ok. At least by my california-reduced expectations. But their house special, the "San Franciscan", managed to mix feta cheese and mediocre pizza into an amazing taste experience.
(4)
Amy L.

If you're looking for something reasonably-priced and fast Mythic isn't bad. I had their Mythic (which was really loaded up with tasty stuff) and something else that had jalapenos on it. I thought it was fairly good but not anything special. You're probably best taking this to go as the store itself is cramped, especially if you're unlucky enough to get wedged into that tiny spot by the front window! Times visited: 1

Marc M.

I'm apparently a two-toned white boy who lost his funny. I've eaten pizza here twice (or at least once, with the latter occasion being a bit of a chit-chat and salivate instead). You may have over-heard us. A cross-sectioned sample of snipits might include, "breast milk with my breakfast cereal would be awesome! ...and cheap." Or the somewhat less appealing "I was about to lose some staring contest, before grabbing his balls and twisting." To which the kid on the counter with the smarting face was quick to add, "Well, that's not very nice."

Dave G.

The only saving grace for Mythic Pizza is that it's open late. When drunk, it's fine. Just don't go sober :)
(2)
Veronica B.

I am perfectly ok with eating this pizza, usually around 1:30am. Not the best pizza in the world, but: 1. I can see it from my house, so therefore it's easy to stumble home to. 2. It's cheap. 3. They really do get you a slice in two minutes or less.

Good crispy crust. Needs more sauce. Too much cheese. A little pricey. But, respectable for this pizza-impaired city.

Eric F.

Not much in the way of restaurant atmosphere, but that's what makes it good. All really great pizza places in my experience have been sort of "hole in the wall" experiences and this one follows suit. Super awesome pizza slices, reasonably priced (for what you get). Perfect place to stop in and get a slice. Sometimes I'll walk 10 blocks for it.
(4)
Rebecca H.

If you asked me a few days ago, I would have given Mythic Pizza five stars. I would have raved about the cheesy goodness, praised the delicious crust, and marveled over the fact that there is a plentiful supply of hot sauce out for people to pour over their slices. However, up until last night, I had only ever eaten at Mythic Pizza while pretty freaking hammered. Last night I finally had the pizza sober and realized that my palate when I am drunk is not very refined. That said, there is nothing WRONG with Mythic Pizza -- the cheese slices are good and only $2 -- but I have had better slices at other places. However, this place is highly highly recommended if you are drunk (and all the counter help speaks drunkenese, so don't worry if you can barely get your order out).

So my boyfriend and I are new to the Hayes Valley/ Lower Haight area and desperate for yummy delivery pizza. We tried Mythic Pizza tonight and were underwhelmed. The buzzer at our apt. building hasn't been programmed with our number yet, so we were waiting downstairs for our pizza. A car came to a stop in front of our building, and the driver hopped out and opened up the back seat door. But a perplexed look appeared on his face as he looked back and forth between an order ticket and the back seat of his car. He climbed back into the front to take off, but Andy asked if he was here for Mythic Pizza...? Yes - came the reply - but I forgot your pizza! Ha! I was amused but Andy was confused. The driver offered an additional explanation: he delivers for (at least) two different restaurants, a Mexican place and Mythic... and he only had Mexican food in his back seat. But he promised he'd be back quickly - and he was. So honestly, the two stars aren't for the delivery mix-up, but for the mediocre pizza. We tried half pepperoni/ half sausage and mushroom. We requested they go light on the cheese per many earlier reviews. I'm not sure if they complied because there were pounds of cheese on the pizza. It was uber greasy, but filling and the red sauce was pretty tasty. I think I would only order Mythic again after getting too drunk... maybe not even then...
(2)
Mai N.

Mythic pizza satisfies the late-night-after-Toronado's craving. The range of the topping list always amazes (and overwhelms) me. In the end, I usually ask for pesto or pepperoni and walk out happy. I appreciate the honesty of the establishment. The place is no frills, but doesn't promise anything else.
(3)
Celeste A.

Word to the wise, do not go here during daylight hours or sober. What may be perfectly acceptable to eat at 2 a.m. will horrify you in a coherent state of mind. Disclaimer aside, the Greco slice is a delicious blob of feta cheese that essentially obliterates all other ingredients and makes you want to throw caution to the wind and risk that lurking E. Coli .
(3)
Jessica L.

Delivery Service...TERRIBLE. If 1 mess up - understandable. 2 out of 3 attempts gone bad - that is a problem. Ordered in from there at the suggestion of a friend. The first time, after waiting over 2 hours, we called and got excuses. We finally canceled the order. The second time the pizza came without incident and it was pretty good. So I went in for a third time. 2 hours later the supposed vegetarian Greek style pizza arrived as a meat lovers "Haight". Too late start over and call anywhere else. We called them and rather than rush over the correct one they insisted that the onethat we got was what we ordered and then said they'd send another correct one next time the driver went out. Driver must have never gone out again. Never heard from them again! They'll never hear from me again! when at the Toronado I'd rather eat a vegetarian sausage from the sausage place or a burrito.
(1)
Leuwam T.

convenient place to grab a slice and take it to-go as you drift to the next bar. very small inside and a bit pricey for a single slice. also, they don't have red pepper flakes. they do have hot sauce but i think a pizza place of this style needs red pepper flakes to complete the deal.

The P.

Better than the pizza place up the street in the worse part of the hood.

Great place to grab a slice when I'm going to trivia at Mad Dog in the Fog on Tuesday or Thursday nights. I like how the pizza is a crazy festival of toppings and cheese, spilling all over the place. Every bite is a delicious mouthful.

c b.

This is one of my favorite pizza places in SF for a few reasons: 1. It's cheap 2. It's pretty good 3. fast delivery 4. Their meatball sandwiches kick ass I've only ever ordered delivery from here, never been there in person...and while the pizza itself isn't the best I've had, it's definitely pretty good, plus the sandwiches are pretty good too. I think often times I look forward to the meatball sandwiches more than the pizza. Anyways, low prices, pretty good food (especially if stoned and/or drunk), fast and generally nice service = a very good choice. Not the best by a long shot, but worthy of mention for sure.
(4)
Eric A.

My local late night last resort eatery. I wouldn't say the pizza is the best I've eaten, but it's a great alternative if your looking for a late night snack. I haven't had the guts to venture into the other options but the pepperoni and the cheese is good.

Dan M.

I love this place!! Closest thing I have had to New York pizza in California and I'm from New York. Their pizza is huge.. big enough to fold and is made fresh to order. Also relatively cheap for SF. A+!!

Only if you're so wasted that any food will do. Doughy under-cooked crust with a horrible cheese/topping/sauce ratio. I've pretty much given up on pizza in this neighborhood in general. Even walking past it is a chore due to all the moronic drunks blocking your way. Still, make sure to DO walk past it, not into it. Think to yourself, is it Mythic Pizza or Mystic Pizza? One sign says one name and the other sign says the other. OK, game over, that was fun. Yuck.
(1)
Michelle N.

For just a slice of pizza this place is DEElicious. I love how they add the toppings to a generous slice of cheese and then they add extra mozzarella on top of the toppings before heating it in the oven... YUM. The whole pizza's are alright but there isn't much cheese and a lil too much sauce. Late night after hitting the bars on lower haight, try to hit it up, I always do.
(3)
Patrick W.

Pizza was bland, cold, cheese was barely melted on the top. You definitely need to be stoned, crunk or cleepy to eat here.
(1)
Jane K.

I actually at this pizza sober(ish) one evening and it was mediocre at best. The great thing is the size of the slices (easily a small pizza itself) but the bad thing is the bland-greasy result. If you're drunk, taste doesn't really matter and pads of cheese sound like a great idea. Sober(ish) you realize that your pizza was supposed to have toppings and you'll yearn for a spice rack to add some flavor to your meal.
(3)
Mary V.

pizza is like sex: even when it's bad, it's good. with that said, mythic is good. not great, good. open late, reasonably priced, and they cater to drunk folks in the hood. i wouldn't travel from another neighborhood to eat here, but it's a fine choice if you're in the lower haight.
(3)
Jeff M.

Well, it's pizza-by-the-slice surrounded by bars, which alone gets it two stars. Otherwise, man, this stuff is crap. Me and a friend stopped by during the day once because we happened to be in the neighborhood. Some kid was running around in the back touching everything, and when my friend got her slice of pesto, the sauce wasn't even spread out on the slice; they obviously just squeezed some green shit out of a caulking gun and tossed it directly into the oven. It's an okay place when drunk, but I beseech you, don't go any other time, because you will feel guilty whenever you return.
(2)
Dan M.

its the best delivery pizza in the lower haight/hayes valley area, to the best of my knowledge. and open kinda late too, which is great. the hot wings are not really very good, but that doesnt matter too much. so many nights i realize i dont have food in my apartment and its too late for anything else. and, of course, i'm too lazy to go anywhere. mythic saves the day again!
(4)
Jenn R.

it was... i don't know... new years day or christmas eve or thanksgiving or some holiday. it was late. really late. we were hungry and had nothing to eat in our apartment, and a bit digruntled knowing it was so late on a day we knew every store in san francisco would be closed. but in vain hope we crawled out of out apartment in search of something to put in our bellies and luckily enough mythic pizza was open like a shining beacon of... wedge shaped bread and cheese i suppose. my roommates and i prefer efny for all our pizza needs, but mythic is underrated in my opinion. it's quite delicious and i LOVE their generous portions of peppers and onions. the price per slice is standard, and their slices are huge!
(5)
DamnGringo X.

Okay, admittedly, I've never ordered a pizza from Mythic, I've just gone in for a slice. Be advised: this is one of those places that does the recycled slice thing. Yeah, they have a bunch of pre-made cheese pizzas that they use for those who just want a pepperoni or veggie slice. That's right kiddies, they slap that slice of cheese down, throw a couple of pepperoni pieces or whatever you desire on there, put it in the oven for 10 minutes, and voila -- recycled slice. Also worth mentioning, their pizza smells like shit. I'm not exaggerating, this was confirmed by friends and strangers alike. We thought someone had shit in the bar, only to learn it was some poor girl who had just returned with her recycled slice in hand. Drunk or stoned, avoid this dump and go hungry.
(1)
Len S.

Mythic has a funny way of never ever pleasing but only seldom disappointing... what do I mean by this? Imagine for a moment you are at NOC NOC and enjoying a frosty mug of chimay. All of a sudden the beer munchies kick into high gear and you're ready to chew on the edge of some welder's art project they call a coffee table over there. So you roll out with bills in hand to satisfy the hunger and you're faced with choices, well depending on time those choices dwindle drastically to just a few possibilities. Ah yes, Mythic, my old nemesis, comrade, occasional messiah but much more often: false prophet... So you go in get your meat mountain or veggie delight and you wait the obligatory x number of minutes staring at the Parmesan shaker thinking this might be a nice snack to tide you over until the box arrives. Finally after the eternity that comes nicely wrapped in another eternity your slices are served up. You can't wait for the box so to hell with it, your friends got your seat, you bite into your pie and the first wonderful taste of that crisp crust and searing hot cheese burn the entire roof of your mouth that mixes in with your topping of choice and you are in agony and ecstasy at the same time. Douse the slice with innumerable amounts of garlic, pepper, powdered Parmesan that passes for cheese and out the door you go. Three bites later you learn why the age of aquarius hasn't arrived yet, the bloody center of the pizza is ice cold, or that mountain of dog food looking stuff, I mean sausage, is actually still frozen too... yeah, that's happened waaaaay too often...

Andrew D.

great location for quick pizza. being next to bars is for sure gonna give you some business, and yes, mythic does come through. very fast service and the slices are pretty big. well priced also. but certainly nothing close to great pizza.
(3)
Glenn C.

Mythic pizza is perfect when you come stumbling out of Molitov's or Noc Noc drunk as f'*#ck. At this point you don't care what you are eating and for some reason hot sauce splashed over greasy pizza is a good idea. As strange as this sounds...it's true that Mythic pizza is known for having this watery cheap hot sauce in a ketchup squeeze bottle. You order whatever slice you want, then you sprinkle grated parmesan and splash some wierd hot sauce on your slice. When you're drunk and starving..this is very tasty. Strange but true.
(3)
Jeremy B.

been going here for years. hella bomb pizza at a good price. make sure u holla at the hot sauce because it really makes the mythics pizza a mythics pizza. i hate tryin to find parking but double park in front works well. oh plus there open pretty late for a coo little snack/meal
(5)
matt c.

Decent pizza. Best slice is the $2 plain cheese, then just dump your own hot sauce or ground pepper on it. If you get anything with toppings, they seem to screw it up. Either your toppings aren't cooked, or your crust is burnt. I have never gotten a full pizza from here, only by-the-slice.
(3)
Alex C.

It's OK. I have a friend that's crazy about this place, and subsequently insists on buying me a slice every time we pass through the neighborhood. Three free slices and I'm still not convinced that it's "AMAAZZZZING".

John K.

Too greasy, especially around the center.

Okay - for all the haters (Starla, I'm calling you out) - this is the closest to a real new york slice you'll find on the west coast - what are you doing ordering all that sh!t on your slice anyway (and even when you're drunk, don't you read the ingredients? - they list them out.... i've been living in new york for 2 years now and eat slices all the time. you don't have to be drunk to eat mythic. and sassy, it did used to be called Mystic Pizza. But they were forced to change the name a few years ago. And seriously, NOPA is good - cause that area did need to be named. And Jessica - you must LIVE for PIzza Hut and Domino's cause the sauce and the cheese make their slices. And yes, I did just create an account to set the record straight. Go back to suburbia or get out of lower haight. ps - sarah -- you rock. wish more people were qualified to rate pizza.

Like any good recent college grad and new-ish Bay Area resident, I did Bay to Breakers on Sunday. Actually, "did" may not be the correct word for this context. Like any good recent college grad and new-ish Bay Area resident, I dressed as one of 300 drunken smurfs and stumbled from 9th and Mission to somewhere in Golden Gate Park before I gave up on following the course of the race, took a leak in plain sight behind a bush, and wandered back home on Sunday. At some point, I suddenly realized I had been so busy drinking that I hadn't eaten anything. Me: I am going to babble all sorts of nonsense and also admit things about myself that I would never even consider talking about while sober. Here I go! My brain: I AM RAVENOUS FEED ME Me: Hey, I'm hungry. Let's eat now! Yaf: But we are going to the grocery store My brain: I CANT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROCERY STORE Me: I can't make it all the way to the grocery store! Yaf: Okay. Let's get pizza. My brain: NOW IS THE CHANCE TO ORDER SOMETHING UNHEALTHY Me (to brain): Please try to order something including a vegetable at least. My brain: ARTICHOKES ---five minutes later--- My brain: NOW I AM SITTING AND I HAVE PIZZA IN FRONT OF ME WHAT HAPPENED Me (to brain): We ordered pizza because you were hungry. My brain: HAVE I BEEN EMBARASSING MYSELF Me (to brain): Probably. But everyone else is drunk too so it's okay. Just eat your pizza and try not to fall off the stool. My brain: LETS BABBLE SOME MORE Me: (continues to babble) Conclusion: I don't remember anything specific about the pizza. But it totally hit the spot after a morning of heavy drinking. And I was visibly plastered and did not get kicked out, which is always a good thing.

David C.

Giant slices....tons of different types of slices to choose from (a couple days I had the Greco which is pesto and feta cheese...oh good!!) at a reasonable price and the slices come loaded with toppings and they come fast....and it's open late night to appease your drunken hunger. However, I went this past week for the first time and I was neither drunk nor high....I know...surprising but the slice was still good.

Mick F.

Remember that one Todd Flanders friend you had, who was kinda bland and churchy, but you hung with because he had a sweet Transformer collection. and as a kid youre shallow? So you go to his house and his Mom offers you a glass of grape Kool-Aid, and youre down, so you take it and take a sip, and off the bat you wanna spit cuz its piss warm, and then you realize that someone crushed an aspirin in it? "Oh Mick, that has NutraSweet in it. We dont want Scott to have sugar"....Yeah well...this is the pizza those people would serve at his lame Noah's Ark themed parties. Which, both are good if your drunk.

Basically, a slice here is a slice of pre-cooked cheese pizza piled extra high with other toppings and more cheap mozzarealla. Crust gets bogged down and soggy pretty quickly. This place only gets points for staying open late.

Rick V.

Without a doubt, the absolute WORST service and communication EVER!!! Ordered a pizza from a flyer posted on my door in SF one night, with friends, and 2 hours later, still NO PIZZA. After approx. 10 phone calls and speaking to numerous different people, still NOTHING! I live on Rhode Island St. in SF and they could not find my building! After finally speaking to a supervisor and very aggravated, 2 hours later, he said I should be patient, it can take time on a busy night! Patient???? How long does it take to get a regular pizza delivered! DO NOT waste your time or MONEY!!!!!

ashley p.

Mythic seems to be incredibly hit or miss. When going in for a slice it's been mostly lackluster -- I once ordered a cheese slice with roasted garlic on it and the garlic appeared (and even worse, tasted) like it'd been sitting out for days. I wouldn't mind them spending a longer time getting my slice ready if it actually tasted like food. Mythic pizzas I've had delivered have been much better, if only because they haven't been sitting out all day on a tray waiting to be snatched up slice by slice by poor souls on Haight Street. I'll admit my Mythic delivery taste has been limited to plain cheese pizza, so my knowledge is certainly limited. Some of their pizzas have perfectly hit the spot, others have brought out subtle groans from my housemates and me, usually due to the pizza being too greasy or undercooked. I'm impatiently waiting the day I find a pizza place who gets it right every time. Is it possible? I hope so.

Manuel S.

Awesome pizza! theire is nothing to it! Great crust because it is fluffy and good toppings with a great selection of by the slice or a whole pie. Try their specials like Haight and Mythic. What you waiting for?! Eat some pizza here and drink some booze.
(5)
J.D. P.

Blows. So close to home that I used to eat there all the time but the crust is too thick and the sauce is average at best. Still, used to be hard to pass when coming home hungry after a night out. That is until we both got super sick after eating a slice about a year ago. Pretty much done with this place.

regina k.

mythic pizza is great because it is close to toronado and mad dog, so when you have a craving after drinking, you can hop over and order pizza by the slice. they're open late AND they deliver. their pizza is outstanding; fresh toppings and a thin crispy crust. try the "mythic" pizza, their special....mushrooms, pepperoni, green peppers and onions. sweet and satisfying.

For awhile, I couldn't tell if the pizza was ACTUALLY good, or I was just very drunk from the bars when I would eat it. Going back during the day sober, i found my assumptions to be true. The pizza is shitty, and is only amazing when i'm plastered out of my mind. However, yesterday my dear little boyfriend who lives across the country decided to buy me a pizza and have it delivered by surprise, and then called to let me know. They told him a half an hour. Over an hour and 15 minutes later, after calling three times and having them lie to my face and say the driver had left already (i live literally three blocks away), the very RUDE delivery driver showed. He asked to see the card. Now, I know this is standard policy (to see the card to confirm it), but my boyfriend is not a fucking idiot. He asked them if that would be okay, and just to rush him off the phone (this is a usual thing), they didn't listen to him and just said yes. All I said to the driver was "oh, i thought he told you", please hold on for one second... i went to my room to find an alternative method of payment, (transactions can take a couple minutes sometimes..), and i came back, and he left!!!! HE LEFT!!!!!!!!!!! Outraged and hungry as hell, I went down there to give them a piece of my mind, only to be yelled it in a bunch of jibberish i couldn't understand. I WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER GO THERE AGAIN AFTER THIS. Granted I was drunk most of the time, but i dined there 3-4 nights a week. they all know me. and to be treated like absolute crap as a regular customer who wasn't even a big fan to begin with, is the end of the line. I can't believe such a shithole treated me as if they didn't need my business.

Lisa A.

If it was possible to give it a lower rating - I would! I was starving and craving pizza so I thought I'd give Mythic a try. I wish I'd gone with anything else instead. The crust was not deep as we ordered, and managed to be undercooked, overcooked and extremely soggy all at once. The sauce was virtually non-existant and what little there was, was tasteless. The only thing in abundance was the cheese. The large mass of oily, congealing, rubbery, low-grade, nauseating cheese. I wished I'd gone hungry instead. Do yourself a favor and learn from our mistake. Pass on Mythic Pizza.

Open late and cheap. Cooks each slice to order, so nothing's ready to go quickly.

The answer to munchies at 2am in the morning. Bad pizza always tastes that much better when you're drunk or stoned.

Decent pizza becomes superb pizza after 2am in the lower haight

This pizza is the first pizza I have ever not liked. It is REVOLTING! Why? The crust on our "deep dish" was thin, oily and soggy. The sauce was watery, limited and flavorless. The cheeze was heavy, very heavy, and also flavorless. I'd rather starve....

tasty pizza. i think i got the haight? the one with pesto and fresh basil and tomatos and maybe mushrooms and tons of garlic. my boyfriend loved that....it's also super convenient since it's right next door to toronado, which might have some of the best beers ever brewed.

their pizza is pretty weak. the only flavor comes from the free hot sauce they give you. seriously, why not make some real topping pizzas and warm those up? this whole "cheese pizza + toppings + more cheese" formula doesn't work.

Okay, maybe there's something wrong with me, but I love, love, love Mythic Pizza. Two bucks for a giant, greasy, cheese slice! I think if you go in expecting grease and possibly copious amounts of cheese, you won't be disappointed. Their crust is nice and thin, and their slices have just the right amount of sauce. The guys who work here are nice, and the slices are, as the sign says, usually ready in two minutes. And I'm going to go ahead and say that I like the squeeze-bottle of pesto. All in all, you'll find a nice calorie-to-dollar ratio here--that is, you get plenty of calories for practically nothin'. Down with the low fat, low calorie, low carb crazes! Live it up! Eat greasy pizza from Mythic!

I love this pizza. i'm no connossieur of pizza, but here's my resume, short as it is: i love frou-frou Cheeseboard Pizza in Berkeley; ditto Gialina's with it's fabulous crust that i actually eat every bite of; i like Zachary's when in the mood for thick-bottomed, which is not very often - once every couple years, tops; have been to NY and enjoyed the slices of pie you can fold in half and eat standing on the street with grease dripping from your hand; AND lived in Italy for 5 months, where i have to say, i had pretty bad pizza, almost everywhere we went - BUT i never made it to Napoli, which is supposed to be pizza Mecca. (And we tried making our own, which was woefully received by our Italian neighbors. Of course, we were hampered by the fact that we ran out of gas in our gas oven and had to run the half-baked pizzas in the rain under umbrellas to the neighbor's house to finish cooking!) I even like Mr. Pizza Man, because i like any pizza place that offers me little pools of grease in each cupped pepperoni slice, a subset to which Mythic belongs. Plus, it's cheap, as everyone agrees, and you can take your slice to Molotov and wash it down with a T&T, extra limes, while making out with your boyfriend. what the hell is wrong with that?

i have been to many places, i have eaten many pizzas. no pizza anywhere ever has been as good as this pizza. east coast, west coast north coast, i dont care, nothing compares. AND THE HOT SAUCE IS LIKE KISSING A GIRL FOR THE FIRST TIME. anyone who does not agree that this is the best pizza in town does not agree with me and has different tastes! THESE PEOPLE WILL BE SMASHED BY MYTHIC GODS. like apollo and stuff. super fast, super cheap, super good, i have oft contemplated doing a super size me style diet of just mythic pizzas, i think by the end i will be super strong and super rich because 250 meals even 3 times a day is cheaper than one sandwhich downtown. or some crap piraat pizza(cant spell pirate right? ASSES) anyway, this place is a palace of pizza.

As a native New Yorker - and an Italian one, at that - I'm particular about my pizza, and there's no place in San Francisco that comes as close to duplicating a New York-style pie as this hole-in-the-wall joint in the lower Haight. A couple of small tables are squeezed into the narrow space between the counter and the door; most patrons take out or call for home delivery. Create your own, or order one of their specialty pies. Ingredients are fresh and abundant, and you can specify thin or thick crust. Their Buffalo wings - slathered with perfectly seasoned sauce that has just the right amount of heat - are fantastic, and the Caesar salad with grilled chicken - topped with large croutons, freshly-shaved Parmesan cheese, and a thick homemade dressing - is as good as any you might find at an upscale restaurant. Not only is the food terrific, but in a city where it's notoriously difficult to get something to eat after 11:00pm, Mythic Pizza - in a neighborhood heavily populated by stoners with late night munchies - wisely is open until 2:00am.

cheap spot for pretty good pizza. i think the real name for this place is gothic pizza. if you look at the sign at the right angle it looks like gothic pizza. so i call it gothic pizza. get a couple slices and head next door and sip on some real good brewskies.

ok, who puts these districts on here?? this is in the low-low (as in lower haight). when did the lower haight become alamo square, when i wasn't looking? i lived in the lower haight for years. we're a proud people, low haightians, and i think only the gentrifiers would try to call it something it is not. rant off. sorry, this pizza place is only mildly ok. if you're in "alamo square" and can handle a walk in the hood, go to volare pizza between filmore and webster instead. yummy late night pizza. also, it is not in hayes valley, it is in lower haight. i mean, is lower haight no longer a neighborhood??? ok, i'll stop now.

i'm pretty sure it's called mythic pizza because using real ingredients is unknown to them.

a ok pizza, overall, but it tends to be VERY greasy. they use a ton of cheese, which is good. i wish they'd cook it for slightly longer...the crust is often almost too gooey. i got buffalo wings today, and they were a little burnt.

chicken parm sandwich was suspicious meat - maybe the worst chicken parm sand i've ever had. two stars for letting me suffer thru it with a good beer at toronado (next door)
