Decent pizza, decent service. Stopped by becuase the line in Pho was too long, and we were short on time. Ordered small pepperoni pizza and garlic fries. Served us normal fries instead becuase they ordered it wrong, but the guy took it back and made a quick fix. My bro wanted ranch (which was 50cents) he paid for one, but the guy gave us anf xtra one for free.

This place is a hit or miss. They do have great options, which I really like. My co-worker and I love ordering from here because it's so fast!! Prices are decent, you do get large serving sizes. One pizza slice is like two pieces combined. The slices are a hit or miss, sometimes they are very warm and hot other times they do taste hard. Otherwise I do like this place.

I have been going here for years. The people behind the counter, Yuri, Danillo, Patrick and the gang have always been so friendly to me. I love getting the vegetarian pizza as well as the fish sandwich. The pizza is juicy!! They also have a pretty good selection of salads. You can choose some interesting toppings. I usually get the greek without the olives and get sun dried tomatoes. I haven't tried the deep friend oreos yet. This is a cool place because it's mostly locals. It has a nice neighborhood feel and I love when someone remembers my name.

I order from this place probably twice a week. They deliver fast and everyone is really friendly. The price is pretty average for San Francisco. Im from the east coast, so id consider myself kind of a pizza snob. but I like this pizza. Its not GREAT but better than anywhere else out here. My boyfriend thinks this is the best pizza he's ever eaten.

This is our go-to pizza place in the city now. We are East Coast transplants, so this pizza reminds us of good NY pizza. The only thing we would change is the location of this place. We have to drive 25 minutes to get this stuff, and we would likely order it once a week if it were closer...maybe that's a good thing. :)

WHY DID YOU CHANGE EVERYTHING!!! I loved you! I loved your pizza, mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings and jalapeno poppers, but you changed how you made all of it! Now I find the food repulsive. I'm sorry but its bad. The buffalo wings are the most noticeable. It used to be spicy, crisp and real chicken. Now it tastes like a mushy, bland, poor excuse for a chicken nugget. The dough on the new pizza is like a wet stale cracker. There is no sauce and there's no flavor in what sauce is there. The toppings are all raw. Even the cheese is like half uncooked. There's no seasoning anywhere in sight. And its greasy in a gross way not a good way. I don't get it. I don't get it. I was seriously telling everyone about Irving Pizza before. Now its like a nightmare I was to forget.

I never wanted to come here but I was really hungry. I did not have a good impression of this place because the pizza doesn't look so good. The pizza was what I expected -lacking flavor and taste. The person who took my order was nice but the cashier seemed unfriendly (probably because he'd been drinking! how unprofessional to drink on the job). Go to kfc or something.

I am a pizza snob from New York...Ive tried many if the pizza places in san fran to san jose...Pizza my heart was the only pizza place close to new york pizza taste. One day I was waiting for underdogs to open and I decided to give your place a try. What a great surprise, not only was it the right texture but the sauce and the cheese were perfect... Ive now been back about 10 times..

Irving Pizza has filled my late-night-snackums desires on countless desperate occasions -- and not just with solid pizza, but with every other salty, fattening, delicious, and readily available snack-matter to satisfy any savory-a-phile. I lived at 21st and Irving for about 2 years, and for those 2 years Irving Pizza was just a short schlumping around the corner at 1AM. Now that I live in the glorious fog banks of 40th Ave, I opt for their ridiculously enabling delivery availability. They deliver until 2am Sunday through Thursday and they deliver until 3am on Friday and Saturday. My big unabashed butt ate delivery cheeseburgers and fries on my bed, at 1AM, in front of the Walking Dead last weekend, and I am still daydreaming about it. The burgers were anything but the conception of a "delivery burger." They were not sloppy, still hot, and very delicious. With the rest of the Sunset (and most San Francisco) food epicenters closing at 10:00PM, Irving Pizza will always have my back. And my bed-burger butt. Thanks guys.

I used to be a fan of this place. Yes, the pizza and salad is still good. But the prices are a bit high. Also, the place needs to be cleaned up. It has always been a dive but really, it needs some cleaning. Really it does, the place is a wreck. I realize it is really a spot for the 20-something crowd and that's great. But as a neighborhood pizza spot, I was disappointed from what it used to be. For one thing the prices. They have gone up. A bit high for only a slice of pizza and some salad. They were not as high in the past. And I thought it sort of tacky that if you wanted salad, you had to order "toppings" to go with the salad. It used to be that Irving Pizza had two salads, basic green and then the Greek salad, and they were in two sizes large and small. Salad is a simple staple not much to it. So to have to order toppings is to me a way to bleed the customer. I figured out what brought up the price of my simple pizza slice and small salad order, the mandatory choice of "toppings." Times have changed and this is the new approach. Also, Irving Pizza has a new Belly card rewards system. Sign up and get a little member card and patrons can start earning points for free stuff. Another sign of the times that things have changed. Oh well! Staff is friendly, but service is not so great. I doubt very much if I will be going back.

I've been getting pizza from here almost every Friday for the last two years. I have always told people that it is the best slice in town. However, recently the quality has become questionable at best. Over the last few months, every pizza that I have received has been cold and dry. It tastes like they took a pizza that has been sitting around for a few hours and then boxed it up when I ordered it. In some cases, it suspiciously looks like they pieced together two separate pizzas into one. Sadly, I am going to have to order my pizza from somewhere else from now on. I can't keep giving away my money for bad pizza.

David S.
A for effort. In the past year, I've seen them sand down the furniture and refinish it, and add some new beer tap / refrigerator setup. It's the details that matter. Pizza typically seems to be hotter, too. But I don't order delivery. Still miffed or amused that the delivery guy took an hour and "got lost" walking a block and a half before. My mistake anyway. I live stupid close.

Guy must've spit on the pizza! Tastes like his breath smelled! Bad! Watch out for the crust too.. So dry I almost choked.. Only thing good was the canned soda and bottled water. So bad I gave the pizza back and didn't ask for a REFUND!

My wife and I went here on a whim last week; it was late evening and we needed dinner. Our experiences (and dishes) were very different. I ordered two slices of pizza and was treated to a delicious slice of meat lovers pizza done just right! My wife ordered the chicken strips and was asked to wait. And wait. And wait. 30 mins later she went up to ask about her meal and was informed that the order had been missed. She was rightfully upset; and I finished my pizza so that we could go. They refunded her money; but on the way out they did give us her meal to go; on the house. I thought this was a kind gesture; but she remained u phased. Too bad; I suppose if I return it will be alone.

Isidro M.
Ordered for delivery and our 3 pizzas came promptly. Good pizza that's more fluffy with a thicker crust. I think it lacks texture, perhaps cornmeal on the crust would be perfect? I will say I enjoyed the pizza. It was great but it lacked a seasoned sauce. Salt and pepper. The most important tip, when having delivery REMEMBER TO ASK FOR CHEESE AND PEPPERS! I was very disappointed that the driver didn't think to bring that in their car. Should you have to ask for cheese or peppers?! Either way, the group was pleased.

Pretty decent post-drinking slice joint. Friendly staff, good prices, and pretty good pizza for this style of pizza joint. Their Hawaiian is particularly tasty if you load it up with a lot of crushed red pepper. They also have a surprisingly good selection of beer taps as well, along with Devil's Canyon Root Beer on tap(a good one).

Tip: Slices range from $3-$4 --------------------------------------------------Â--------------- I came here with some friends before heading to "Nightlife" at the Academy of Sciences. Their pizza tastes pretty awesome! The crust has a nice crunch to it, but the pizza is soft and warm. I'd definitely want to come again if I'm in the area and I encourage anyone who finds themselves nearby to drop by and give it a try.

Anastasia G.
I was here at the first time and I like it. Nice big slice of cheese pizza for $3.25. It was nice and tasty. Minus... They just had 3-4 types of pizza.. Not enough. I wish they had mushroom pizza without salami or pepperoni (some kind of vegetarian pizza, because as far as I know it's not halal meat that they're use) or maybe different type of vegetarian pizza that people who can't eat meat might order.

2 stars because it's actually pretty good pizza. But if you want anything other than pizza then fuckin forget it. Fuckin awful - I would know - because I live around the corner. They tell you they have the order and they forget it. Fuck you Irving Pizza - this is the third time..,

I get the slices delivered. The pizza whole delivered is soggy for me but the reheat process on their par cooked slices is top notch. Open late. Their sandwiches are decent to great. Great beer on tap selection.

Ordered twice. Both times they conveniently forgot something that I paid for, and the second time somehow bacon turned into canadian bacon (kind of a difference...) in addition to omitting part of my order. Not ordering from again, the first time I called and they were incredibly dismissive so I'm not bothering to call again. However I will let other people know. Edit: After being annoyed, I read more reviews. It seems as if the owner spent as much time addressing problems as they seem to spend responding to yelp reviews then none of us would be in this situation. Really sad.

Came in on a Saturday night. Not too busy, but the restaurant was small. Ordered a XL 3 topping pizza, came out to be about $27. The pizza came out in about 15 min. Seemed fresh. They use a canned tomato sauce and their bacon taste like ham. The pizza came with 12 slices, enough for a party of 4. The pizza was alright and I would come back if someone else wanted to.

I placed an order on Eat 24 that consisted of a chicken chipotle sandwich, cheese fries, salad (with chicken, beets, onion, cucumber and feta) and a Jones root beer. I promptly got a phone call stating they don't have chicken chipotle, cucumbers for my salad or Jones soda. After some conversation I said no cucumbers and a chicken pesto sandwich would do. He asked if I wanted fries with my sandwich and I told him no, because I had ordered cheese fries on the side. "Oh, no cheese fries". Seriously? What kind of pizza place doesn't have some cheese to throw on top of some fries? So I decided on garlic fries instead. The order that ultimately came: Chicken pesto sandwich, that was nothing like it was listed as on the website. A salad with no beets and crispy chicken, though I selected "chicken", not "crispy chicken" (which I assumed was grilled, but I guess that could have just been a poor assumption on my part) Garlic fries with another side of fries that I told them I didn't want. Barq's root beer To top it off, the only thing I wasn't completely disappointed with was my salad (mixed greens were pretty fresh). The only reason I'm giving them two stars was because the delivery man seemed nice enough, I've never had their pizza so I can't rate them on that and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they just haven't updated their Eat 24 anytime in recent history.

Sometimes I have to work late, really late, and this is one of only a few places in my neighborhood that is actually still open. This pizza has saved me many nights from going to be with a growling, painfully empty stomach. I usually order in person for take-out, but recently I did delivery. It's worth noting that my order was correct and basically on time with friendly service. I say this because all of my recent delivery experiences with other places have been completely awful.

Service is less than mediocre. I'd only recommend going here drunk or if you have plenty of time to waste since the service is horrible. It's not even worth waiting in line or grabbing a quick bite. The guys behind the counter seemed to not give more than 2 craps about their customers or even acknowledge your existence.

Irving Pizza is our go-to pizza spot... it's close by, the service is good, and we love both their slices that are grab and go as well as ordering a whole pizza and picking up on our way home. As someone who has worked in the pizza industry, I am always thankful to come across a pizzeria that uses fresh, quality dough and knows how to stretch and bake it properly as does this place! Even my very picky husband eats the crust because it's just that good! Not to mention, whenever we order through Eat24, our pizza is always WAY over topped - not complaining one bit! Love it! To be fair, we are pretty set in our ways as far as what we order... but so are most people when it comes to pizza. We stick to either a slice of their pesto pizza, or if we are ordering we go with either the Hawaiian or their white pizza with ranch sauce and chicken... both are great and when we do venture to try creating our own, the quality prevails. Thank you Irving Pizza for having a great pizza in this city that doesn't always know how to make a good pie.

I really do not understand Irving Pizza. I do not understand why sober people would go here, and I do not understand why this establishment would exist, unless drunk people at night really spend that much here. The only reason I am not giving it a one star rating is because it is open late and is pretty much the only option around if you ever get the munchies at 2 AM after a night of libation. Otherwise, here are my list of complaints: - The pizza is just no good. Not sure how this qualifies as "New York" pizza. The pizza here is much too fluffy, and the crust is a little tough. They cook their pizzas on a conveyor oven, rather than a brick oven or a regular oven, either of which would lead to better results. As well, the ingredients do not taste any better than what you would get from Domino's. Just very unimpressive flavors. - The prices are way too high. Charging nearly thirty dollars for an 18 inch (XL) veggie pizza? Even the pizzas by the slice are on the pricey side, at $3.90 a slice for a combo. It's not a particularly large slice either. But oddly enough, it seems like it's a better deal to buy by the slice rather than to buy an entire pizza, you'd probably get more calories for your money if you bought an entire pizza's worth of slices rather than ordering a pizza. - The servers here are just unenthusiastic and unfriendly. Then again, I'd probably be that way if I had to deal with the little high school punks who frequent this place. Irving Pizza does serve a decent selection of beers, and their fries are pretty good. I've also heard good things from friends about their non-pizza items.

After an hour and forty minutes of waiting, and two attempts by Eat24 to call the restaurant, I cancelled my order. The first time Eat24 called, they were told that the pizza was in route and would arrive "in a few minutes." Forty minutes later, nothing. A second call attempt was unanswered. Looks like I'm not the only one who has had this happen. You can find several reviews here that end the same, that their pizza is just never delivered, and apparently the staff is a bunch of douche blossoms. Well, that's definitely not a way to attract or keep customers. Before too long, their little crap shack is going to be another noodle house on Irving. Good riddance, I say.

Jim G.
Only place around that is open super late. I've had the pizza while drunk many times. I thought it was a good pizza place. BUT, this past weekend I had the pizza sober... it is just plain old bad pizza. Make sure NEVER to eat this pizza sober. It tastes like poor quality pizza. Poor quality cheese and dough. The toppings you could tell were of the cheapest garbage quality. Just skip it. I gave it the second star because it tastes pretty good if you are super drunk at 2am. But then again, so does a hot pocket from 7-11.

More like 3.5 stars I remember coming here as a child when I went to Jefferson across the street. My grandparents used to live right down the street from this place and I remember my grandma surprising me with pizza every now and then. The pizza is not the best, but certainly not the worst. Prices aren't bad at all (for a slice at least). I haven't been here in a while, but everytime I walk by I think of my grammie.

Foodster G.
Pretty solid pizza! They are my usual spot for pizza delivery, because Seniores tastes like cardboard. They are always pretty prompt when I order from them. I will say in regards to the Wings, it's hit or miss. Sometimes they're full of flavor and other times it isn't. Also, today when I ordered they forgot one of my sodas! Either way, still a solid pizza place and i'll order from them again!

**Review for sandwich** I just moved back to the city (Outer Sunset to be exact) and I am loving it! I just found my new "go to" sandwich spot at Irving Pizza I ordered the Classic Style Pizza Sandwich ( w Feta Cheese , Ground Beef , Pesto Sauce) for $8.49 An order of Deep Fried Oreos $3.99 and a Healthy Style Salad w Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. $8.00 Omgawd, that was the shiznit!!!! it was so yummy and tasty and every bite was full of wonderful sensations! Great hot sandwiches for a decent price...i give this place two thumbs up. Would I recommend it? Hell to the yeah

Irving Pizza was pretty delicious. Although I didn't order pizza. I ordered for delivery via Eat24. Service was much faster than expected. The Bacon, Avocado Cheeseburger was delicious. It was a good-sized burger as well. Cooked well and fresh ingredients. I also ordered the Garlic Fries. Yummy! They were perfect. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with a healthy topping of fresh chopped garlic and parsley. If you live garlic you will love the Garlic Fries. Will have another go at Irving Pizza.

So I decided to give them another chance because everyone makes mistakes, right? Last weekend I ordered another slice with ranch instead of tomato sauce and it was delicious. My boyfriend and I ordered again tonight and once again it was a big mess of ranch on top of a slice of cheese pizza. I immediately called back to see if I could get them to send a replacement slice because I was super hungry. A woman answered and put a man on the phone who basically screamed at me that that's how they always "substitute" ranch and that I "couldn't possibly have ever had it any other way." I was also told that it wasn't an option to "substitute" a different sauce on a slice via Gruhub, despite the fact that we did it with the slice of pesto we ordered and have successfully done it with ranch many times before. There's nothing like being treated like a complete idiot and told you're a liar. I called back a few minutes later to see if we could get a refund. I asked to speak with the owner (per his kind comment on my last post) and the man told me that he was the owner. I said, "so you're Awadalla?" He then backtracked and said, "no. I'm the owner until Monday." Okay? Is that how it works? Owner until Monday? He then proceeded to continue screaming at me about how there was no way that I could have ever ordered a slice of pizza with ranch substituted. He also refused to send or refund another item that was completely left out of the order that we paid for. Finally, he hung up on me. Well, Irving Pizza, you have officially ruined my Friday night. Besides having technically stolen from us because you refused to bring or refund a missing item, your "owner until Monday" was condescending to the point where he actually drove me to tears. He should not be working with people if he is set off in an aggressive rage over one customer complaint. Is that the type of management you hire? Plenty of other great places in the neighborhood that will give you what you order and pay for without the horrible attitude.

Their pizza is very doughy. When you're drunk/buzzed/tipsy anything is good. Your hormones rage for it when you're in that state and judgement goes down which is why pizza is the best at that time. But back to my review, the people were nice and service was good. Lady who answered the phone was nice. The place was clean. Biggest complaint was the garlic fries. If looked like it was half done with half effort while I was told that they were busy. Looking at the line, it didn't look like it but the fries ended up being the biggest disappointment because it was what we ended up waiting the longest. No garlic evenly throughout the fries and looked like it was all in just over place and lazily done. Give much credit to it being open late at night. I'd only recommend for the pizza and not their garlic fries. Not sure about the rest of the items non pizza related

As a young grasshopper, one of my life's goal was to order a personal pizza from Irving Pizza and enjoy it with my copy of Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire. A whole pizza all to myself as I flip through the best series of all time. Ah. That's the life :) Fast forward 14 years and a decelerated metabolism later, I walked by Irving Pizza on a weekday near midnight. I was only looking for a slice, as my dreams of a personal pizza have long been buried to the back of my mind by an empty wallet and a humble diet. The Giants were in their 13th inning battle with the Dodgers. Several of the other patrons looked hopefully upon the television, with remnants of their finished slices dispersed over the tables. I ordered a Combo Slice for $4.25. The cashier slid my slice into the oven. I signed the receipt to my credit card. The Giants got a base hit. I sat down with my slice and sprinkled it with too much and not enough Parmesan. The cheese of my pizza was still too solid, it could've used a few more minutes in the oven. The crust on my slice was also a bit stale, but warm enough. Perhaps my preferences have been spoiled through the years. Sprinkles of applause and cheers filled the restaurant. The Giants baserunner had made it to the home plate. It was a cheerful moment, but not one laden with shouts and chest bumps from out of town hipsters. Just a sort of quiet happiness shared by several die-hard locals. That's always something to appreciate about Irving Pizza. A true neighborhood pizzeria catered to wanderers of Irving street. On game nights, friends and families of the neighborhood gather around a pie in support of their home team. The dream of my personal pizza started to reemerge. Harry Potter has already defeated Voldemort, but my passion for pizza and reading is still very much alive. The open zipper of my book bag revealed a copy of A Song of Ice and Fire. More applauses. I looked up to see that the Giants have won. Perhaps it's a sign for me to fulfill my dream of a personal pizza with the adventures of Tyrion Lannister :)

This place is amazing for being open in those critical hours of 4th meal. They have a wide variety of options--not just pizza--but I recommend the combo pizza. It strikes a good balance between veggies (peppers, olives, onions) and meat (salami, pepperoni, ham, sausage). $21 for 12'' isn't cheap but it's satisfying.

At first I was really excited to see a NYC style pizzeria so close to my home, but for pizza and other munchies, I've had better. In full transparency, I worked in a NY pizzeria for a few years where we made the dough everyday and the ingredients were mostly organic, so there's little that stacks up to my standards. My complaint with Irving's is that the flour crust is too thick without adding much flavor, and the toppings lack that burst of taste you would get with quality ingredients. A lot of improvement could be seen if they made the switch to oil dough. At the very least they shouldn't market themselves as NYC style pizza - it's far from it. Their subs and beer selection are pretty good though. When I was eating bread, I was a big fan of the Philly sub. Late at night on the weekends all of the bros who've been bulking up their beer muscles at Underdogs show up and, like clockwork, fights break out. I wish the business owners would do more to help here, whether that's not allowing people to group outside or a "if you buy something you have to clear the area" type of rule. There's actually a small, tight-knit community that lives here, but every week we have to listen to drunks who don't live here stomp around our backyards and gripe over "you bumped my girlfriend" or "you mad bro?!" ridiculousness. Overall, it's a good place to get late night drunchy foods or grab a quick sub if you can avoid the lines and the ridiculousness. Pizza is meh.

Ordered a small Irving Special for delivery. $21.Time states 45 mins, but pizza arrived in 65 mins. Meh, guess that can happen anywhere. Although pizza arrived warm (on the cooler side), it was still tasty. Nothing spectacular. Based on my experience, will probably give it another shot....minus the delivery.

I ordered from here late at night using Grub Hub and was impressed. The sandwich deal, $11.99 for 2, is great and we were able to try the chicken parmigiana and Philly cheesesteak. Both of which were really tasty compared to my other late night grub hub experiences which haven't been very good. I also tried deep fried Oreos for the first time and was surprised at how much I liked them. Nice and soft, not too sweet, and not greasy at all. I had a really good experience from here and I'll definitely order again.

It's aiiight. Friends and I were walking past to get some snacks from Luca's, and smelled the pizza scent wafting... We had to stop. Ordered a slice of cheese pizza for $3. It was hugeeee & Delicious when hot but became lackluster as it cooled off. Standard pizza, maybe a little bit better than Costco. +1 star for being open super late and chill, laid back vibe.

My favorite pizza place in the neighborhood. I usually order #1 or #6. Delivery has always been quick since I live about 4 blocks away. Would be nice if they stayed open til 3am. Senior's is the only place open after 1:30am which delivers to my area. I prefer Irving Pizza's crust over Senior's.

Pizza shop open at all hours of the night. My roommates and I come here when the going is late and we haven't had nutrition yet. At a few dollars a slice this place is pretty economical as well. It's hard for me to put this on the same level as patxis, but the price point and the convenience are just too important to ignore.

This spot is cool. Especially if you want to get a sweet slice of pizza. I usually come here to get 2 slices of pepperoni and sausage. They make the slice nice and crispy with b their oven. Just remember to add some crushed red pepper to the pizza for that AWESOME factor. The space is a little small but ok. Get in and get out. Just how I like it. Oh, if you are driving look out for the double parked cars. This area is notorious for this type of parking.

I wish I could give this place more stars because the pizza is great tasting, the slices are huge, and their prices are relatively cheap, but the service is beyond disappointing. Everyone behind the counter is rude and won't give you the time of day. The employees always seem bothered and are very stingy when you ask them for anything. Order to-go and save yourself the headache.

Hit and miss depending on who's working. Sometimes service is cool and food is great, other times the opposite. There are better options around the neighborhood for pizza etc, but this place does in a pinch.

their box says 'born in nyc... raised in san francisco' -- that's probably because they got chased out of ny because of the lousy pizza! Crust awful (it all starts with the crust), way too thick (particularly in relation to sauce and cheese) and seemingly low quality flower (needs to be high gluten) that is all under cooked. Sauce is lame and cheese is seemingly low quality (and quantity) All this for EXPENSIVE prices. (2 slices to go cost me $9.50!) On the plus side, they serve beer and are friendly and it doesn't seem dirty. AVOID.

Alright pizza and bad everything else. Ordered 2 slices of Hawaiian pizza and an order of large fries. Got my pizza in 2 minutes and waited 10+ minutes for my fries. I told the lady at the counter I just wanted my money back for the fries because my pizza is now cold and she said it'll just be a few more minutes... Umm I've already waited 10+ minutes for a food item that takes literally less than a minute to cook , no thanks. So she just rolled her eyes at me and finally gave me back my money. Tip to the restaurant: if you know your fries take 10+ minutes to cook, then put the pizza in later so it's still warm by the time your customer gets their fries. Also, treat your customers better because maybe after a bad situation like this, they'd like to come back.

Pizza here will do in a pinch, but not if you're expecting really good pizza on the go. Before coming here, I heard some good things about this place, but not about customer service. Luckily, I didn't have much trouble with that seeing as I was just getting a slice to go. Ordering the slice was a bit of a hassle as i had to lean over the counter across the glass pane window to ask which slice I wanted. It took a little while than I expected for my one single slice to be ready, but there were television sets around the restaurant to help me pass the time. Once I got my slice, I tried to put down some red pepper flakes on top. I'm not sure what the issue was, but I kept shaking and shaking to no avail. I had to ask for a plastic spoon and screw off the top myself to get into that spicy goodness. Unfortunately after all that effort, the peppers didn't really taste like much despite how much I put on top of my slice. I opted out of the cheese as I didn't expect the cheese to fair any better. The taste of the overall slice is very forgettable and leaves you yearning for something else after a nice walk on Irving.

Ordered delivery from here two times so far. The first time wanted me coming back for more! With this order, it was delivered before the estimated time and was still hot. I was pleasantly surprised by the mound of toppings on each of my slices that I ordered and the garlic/parsley on top of the garlic fries. Fast forward to this second order. Again, delivered before the expected time and hot! But, I was disappointed to see my mound of toppings.... Scattered in the boxes for my pizza slices. I don't blame the delivery driver like most would, but instead who prepared it, as this time the toppings were not fully cooked so they weren't able to stick to the pizza. Please cook the toppings a little longer next time and please, if you're going to charge for ranch (as you should), at least fill the containers. Both of my containers (each 50 cents) were exactly halfway full. I'll be back again, but likely not as quickly as I didn't feel the same "wow" this time around.

I won a $20 gift certificate to Irving Pizza. I just realized it had an expiration date, so I called in and asked if it was alright to use it. The worker said no. I asked what would happen to the $20, and he rudely replied, "you lost it. It's gone." This is so ridiculous. I mean what kind of pizza place has an expiration date for a gift certificate?? Forever 21 does not have an expiration date. $20 is a lot man. So they just robbed us. The pizza isn't even that great. It's very oily - a heart attack waiting to happen. I definitely do not recommend this place. Senior's around the corner is way better. I recommend the BBQ chicken. Waaay better. Irving is a no-no. Delivery takes over 45 minutes, and I live less than a mile away. The workers are not welcoming. I don't even know why I've been a regular customer for this long.

The food is Italian wanna be. The staff are non American and rude. They will literally let you sit at the bar but not serve you. Only to tell you to get in line at the front door and then talk and laugh amongst each other at the customers expense. Horrible personal experience. We'll never go back.

Patrick G.
East coaster by birth so grew up with some amazing pizza joints around me so it's tough to find anything that competes to a pie back home. Even with the low expectations of finding a good pie out here this place failed to surpass even that low bar. Burnt toppings, cardboard crust, and a sauce that might as well been ragu. 2 stars bc you did deliver it on time but probably should have taken some extra time focusing on the pizza...

Chris C.
this place! UGH! My family has been customers here for years and buy from them weekly because they're so close and convenient. the food has seldom been a problem but their customer service SUCKS! Wth i had belly rewards worth 100 points and i wanted to redeem them for two large pizzas (each large pizza is 50 points). Yet the cashier guy gave us attitude and basically tried to dissuade us from redeeming our points (i mean what do you expect?? It's a rewards system you voluntarily put into place!) Anyways, eventually he let us order one pizza, but just one! he said "only one per day". WHAT KIND OF BS IS THAT?? Nowhere is it written that we can only redeem one reward a day. when i asked where that condition was stated, he just shrugged and gave us no answer. Real stand up guy that one. we'll be looking elsewhere for pizza from now on.

I've been coming here since I was a little kid; pizza by the slice never got better. Sitting on the edge of the Sunset district, Irving Pizza has a prime location - just a few steps away from public transit! Their pizza is handmade, fresh, and full of flavour; at about three dollars per slice, a quick lunch is easily affordable. With good vibes and good eats, this is undoubtedly my favourite pizzeria in San Francisco.

If I could give 0 stars I would. DO NOT ORDER from here!!! Had a pizza delivered that had been dropped so all toppings were off and called for a refund. The manager said he needed to pick up the pizza. He came to our house, was rude and tried to bully me. My husband came down when he heard a man yelling at me and the guy just left the pizza on our porch. He denied a refund because two slices of pizza were gone. If he wanted all the contents he could go through our garbage because we threw it away after deciding it was inedible. I'm filing a complaint with the better business bureau. This is not a way to run a business!! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

We used to order from here once a week, it was never great pizza but was ok for the price and quick delivery - they've recently changed their coupon policy and radically raised their prices. $32 for an XL just doesn't cut it, sorry.

Thankie S.
This will just be a short review, as there isn't much to say about this pizza establishment other than the tasty pies they serve. Their pizza slices are, in my opinion, superior to Seniore's a couple blocks up. The dough is not overly thick, but just fluffy enough. Generally, even their pizzas that have been left on the counter for a while are perfectly reheated to a nice slight singe on the sides. The star topping here would be their mini pepperoni pieces, with that delicious outward bowl-curve. Unfortunately, will be docking a star because sometimes their staff might be in a pissed off "dealt with too many drunk people" mood on a late 2:00am Saturday morning. Understandable, but still unpleasant to be tossed a slice from across your counter with the slice slightly tipping off of the plate.

I live in the Sunset district, so this is my "go-to" pizza place in San Francisco. Make sure you try any kind of pizza. Cheese won't leave you feeling you ate a plain pizza. The ranch is free, and there is a wide variety of condiments for your pizza. Also, the employees are very friendly. I'm not sure about the delivery service because I live within walking distance, but I bet they do great in deliveries. There's more of a selection of what they can make in their whole pie than just ordering the slice. And make sure you get "Stampt" on your iPhone. Buy six slices and you get a free slice and a drink. Totally worth it. Go now!

Scot B.
I have to admit that this place surprised me. We've ordered pizzas from here about 5 times now and have yet to be disappointed. In fact, a couple of the mid-evening deliveries were faster than expected and the pizzas were excellent. I'm really not sure what else to add here, but we now have Irving Pizza on our list of preferred places.

Droolie Y.
honestly LOVE the food here. but every single time I've been here, THE SERVICE SUCKS! the rude girls behind the counter are too busy flirting with the old sloppy men and are too lazy to bring you your food. I waited 25 minutes. TWENTY FIVE MINUTES for 9-wings. At about 15 minutes I asked the brunette behind the counter "how much longer for my wings?" she said "oh they take about 15 minutes. IT DOESNT EVEN TAKE 15 MINUTES TO ROAST A WHOLE CHICKEN!!! so i waited and waited and waited. rude, slow, lazy, and did NOT deserve my 2 dollar tip for their $10 for 9-wings. ridiculously over priced. and please. learn to sprechen se engrish better.

Anthony R.
Overpriced in my opinion. They have a decent selection of beers. They usually have "the most popular sporting event" being shown on their tv. Local crowd, and another plus is you can buy pizza by the slice. Pizza tastes better than Dominos, but not nearly as good as North Beach pizza.

The biggest brightest thing in the pizza joint is the flat screen televisions blaring whatever football game is on. I went there for the first time recently and the gentleman at the counter almost completely ignored me as he stared, mouth open (really) at the television. I had to ask him three times for my beverage before his head snapped up and he basically threw a can of coke at me. I had to TELL him how much change to give me because trying to do the math when I gave him a $20 + partial change made his brain overheat and his eyes glaze over. They have no ice. What restaurant doesn't have ice? The pizza is as mediocre as Costco. In fact, Costco pizza is better because you have lower expectations going in, and you don't have to wait TWENTY-FIVE minutes for a slice of pizza. I don't care that I can walk to it. I don't care that it's my new neighborhood pizza place. The service sucks. The pizza sucks. Life is too short to give my money to loser business shysters like Irving Pizza.

The pizza is legit, they have TVs , and beer if you're into that. I'm a happy camper. The pepperoni pizza is seriously oily though. Like dripping with oil... Good thing there are plenty napkins to blot your slice! And they are open late, one of the few places I can go to for hot food after I get off work at midnight!

NEVER AGAIN will i ever come back here again

I had Irving Pizza deliver to my home last night (actually, thru eat24). Horrible! My burger wasn't cooked as I'd asked, was tough and the 'trimmings' were about three slices of onion and a wisp of lettuce. No condiments. The garlic fries were old and soggy, with just a sprinkling of garlic on top. Salads ok, and my husband's gyro was decent. I spent a lot of money, but was disappointed. I won't be going back.

Not only do they have good pizza, and apparently a full menu of warm sandwiches and other foods to snack and eat, they also deliver till 2am Sunday through Thursday and 3am Friday and Saturday. Really? Did someone just grant me one of my three wishes? Late night delivery. I heart you Irving Pizza.

Little Miss Picky s.
Ive heard everyone and their MOTHERS rave about this place, but I just DON'T see it. Stopped in last night at about 2am. (The fact that they are open this late is why they get the first and only star) We approach the counter and order a small pizza with chicken and pesto. The pizza cost round 17.00, (Kind of steep) and it took like, 20 minutes. When it came to the table it looked alright.. The pesto was standard, and the crust was something out of a digiorno box,but I was drunk. So... it was acceptable. Then came the chicken: OMG. I am like, 85% sure it was NOT CHICKEN. I've never experienced "chicken" that chewy, that DARK, or that grisly. It was so disgusting! Between the gag-inducing, toppings, and the poor service, I think it's safe to say I won't be returning.

A favorite spot in the sunset district, Irving Pizza is a great spot to go to for pizza by the slice. Standard prices + a multitude of other options like salad, sandwiches and wings makes me a regular at this neighborhood joint. Pizza is nothing out of this world, but always satisfying. Extra points for having 4-5 solid beers on tap and the fact that you can get a pitcher for $8-10

True Irving fans have witnessed the evolution of this place. Five years ago, this pizza place looked like any ordinary quick pizza stop. Now, the remodeling is a great pizza ristorante. If you want pizza late at night DO NOT settle for Senores! Senores on 19th is dirty..how do I know? Next time you go there, ask them to use the bathroom. Afterwards, ask them where the sink to wash your hands is....O wait, I didn't see one. Now back to Irving! Never disappointed me. The staff is fun and energetic. They deal with the City's drunkeness with a smile on their face. Any way you want your pizza, they are patient to make it the way you want it. I like jalapeños and pineapple on my pizza. Also, I like my pizza extra toasty...DONE! Only bad experience was when they forgot to deliver my pizza...happens. I have worked in the fast food industry too. I'll give a break to a great pizza service when needed. However, they did the right thing, delivered my pizza free of charge. I didn't have to let the green monster come out :) The varied selection that is ready to be toasted is great. The veggie pizza....mmm warm tomatoes. Pick up a pizza rewards card because I am sure this won't be the first time you come here.

This place is literally a slice of heaven...especially at 3ish in the morning. No judgement please. The slices are huge and greasy..but not too greasy where it will make you sick. It's just enough to soak up the alcohol. The pesto sauce is amazing-ness and so delicious especially in the chicken sandwich. I would add onions to it because I love onions. The morning after slice is just as good. The flavors of the sauce is perfect spice and tang. There needs to be more places in the Bay.

Came back from The Fillmore and my friends and I were hankering for some grub. We scouted through Geary, but my friends were looking for something that is filling without having to empty their pockets as much. After cutting through GG Park, we hit Irving and having to push aside the taocs there that I would have gladly chose, we had pizza. This place was exactly opposite from where I wanted to go, but in the end the pizza satisfied my yearning for tacos. The prices for size can make you second guess whether you want to eat here, but I think everyone should give it a shot before they consider eating here another time. We ordered a 14" BBQ Chicken pizza with three Cokes, which came to about $28.00 more or less. We were starving, but conversations killed the time we had to wait for the pizza. (15 minutes wait time for the 14") Now, if you are here alone and want some pizza, just grab a slice or two so you won't have to wait as long. The server was pretty nice, but aside from the service which I can give a B-, the pizza was pretty good. There were two things that caught my attention as I ate this pizza: 1. There was a meager spread of BBQ sauce, if they added a little bit more it would have been perfect. 2. There was corn on this pizza, which I found interesting. I've rarely had pizza with corn on it, but especially on BBQ Chicken. It was a pretty good addition nonetheless. It definitely wasn't the BEST pizza I've had, but it wasn't the worst. I've had mediocre pizza for ridiculous prices and sizes, but these guys did a better job on taste than previous pizza spots. Oh, before I forget.. Don't get the fries. Unless you like unsalted fat potato wedges go for it, but it didn't tickle my fancy.

Update! Came here again and my memory has failed me. This place is actually good! The pizza is crispy on the bottom, just the way I like it. That's all I remember about the pizza.. dammit memory! The price is a lil steep for pizza but I figure you usually pay that price per person at any restaurant. Again, don't forget your stamps! :)

FOOD: 1.) Combo = soft melted fontina goodness nommmy nommm SERVICE: From browsing the other reviews, apparently you should NEVER order delivery. Case in point - We actually didn't even order the pizza but the delivery guy showed up anyway lol. And we said hellyea we want yummy pizza. But sucks for whoever did order the pie.

I thought I would give this place a try this weekend. Well I could have lived with out. The pizza was overall very bland, the only thing I could really taste on a sausage and pepperoni pizza was the sausage. If your looking for tasty pizza this isn't it. There is much better tastier pizza nearby.

I ordered from Irving when housesitting in the Outer Sunset. While I give them props for faster-than-advertised delivery and a friendly driver, the pizza was OK at best, nothing special. It's awfully expensive for what you get, too. I sense a little bit of false advertising here: The sauce was bland and the crust thick and chewy, way more doughy than I like it. It's definitely not New York style, as they claim - I lived in NYC and I know what New York style pizza tastes like. It's supposed to be bursting with flavor, and even with two toppings, I barely tasted anything. Also, the garlic bread was very pedestrian for nearly $4. I can make a far more flavorful loaf of garlic bread with cheese for half the price. Anyone can melt mozzarella on a roll and sprinkle some minced garlic on it. A little more flair and enthusiasm, please! I have to say it: the new and improved Domino's recipe has a better crust and WAY more flavor. This recipe is old and tired. Perhaps ordering by the slice is a better way to go; apparently they don't do thin crust for delivery orders unless you know to ask for it? (Of course, if it's "New York style" you shouldn't have to ask....)

Everything you could ever want from the local pizzeria. Hot tasty pizza, delivered if you're feeling lazy. Also, a good selection of beer at the pizzeria for when you are eating in. The poppers are some of the best I've ever had. On the way home from a 2011 NYE celebration as we were riding the N a pang of hunger gnawed at me. I wondered, could it be, could it possibly be that Irving Pizza would be open at this time? As I like to plan ahead I had their number programmed into the celly. Low and behold they answered, several slices and poppers later... I knew that the year was off to a good start.

Was walking down Irving with some friends after getting Tea way( something like a Quickly's). I was getting hungry and this was one of the only few places open around 12:00 AM. We walked in and the place looks clean and organized. It also had a flat screen TV. I ordered a slice of pepperoni and sausage pizza. The pizza was pretty good, it was N.Y style pizza, my favorite style of pizza. The crust was thin but not too thin and it had a great crunch to it. They are not cheap with their ingredients so you will get a lot of it on your pizza. The pizza was a little pricey though, 3.75 for a slice.. Overall, this is a great place for a late night hang out spot. My friends and I just chilled there and talked. The atmosphere is calm and cozy.

I had the best pesto with sun dried tomatoes pizza here. I was a little drunk when eating it, but the line moved quick, the price was reasonable and the pizza stayed with me. I had to walk back by this place on my way home, i almost went back in to get another slice. If you are looking for good, quick slice, this is the place.. YUMMY!!

I have gone here a couple times real late night, fri/sat they are open til 3am. ( I know its in the sunset, ur prolly wondering wtf i was doing out in the sunset...dont ask, jus know I wont fail thee again my fellow SFranciscans :\ ) Very decent pizza for late night, 4/5. With that said only 3/5 during regular hours compared to what else you could get. So this is like a 3.5/5 Got delivery to my apt this time though, the pepperoni here is pretty tasty but DO NOT GET SAUSAGE ON YOUR PIZZA AT THIS JOINT. Unless of course, your one of those kids in elementary school that liked to eat his own boogers. This place is the epitome of booger pizza sausages, flavorless fake n funky..horrible! I think they don like me too cuz they loaded my pizza wit those lil fuckers, hellllaa boogers man, hella.

Food = okay Wings were dry. Pizza was mediocre. Nothing to rave about. Sandwiches were made to order, decent sized but nothing special either. Service = friendly, but they just take the order, and leave ya alone. Decor = a few tables, some chairs and a TV. Cost = cheap Parking's a pain.

Such a small pizza joint but at a great value! I come here with my friend when we're looking for a cheap, greasy meal. I like to get the pizza combo with a drink. The owner doesn't talk much, but maybe that's because I don't really try to start a conversation. Usually just watches what's on the tv. The only thing I've had is the pizza. A large slab and he pops it in the oven to heat it up for you. Comes out nice and crunchy. It's too bad someone was shot here. It probably lowered the business a bit but I will still come by. If you're in the sunset and want a slice at a good price - hey it rhymes! - stop by.

Erin S.
Just writing this review makes me want Irving Pizza. They have some unique pizza's. Its all about the Green Special: pesto, artichokes hearts, feta cheese, broccoli, and fresh garlic. love love love this pizza. Especially on a drunken night with free delivery (they include it in the price), but still worth it. Also a great spot for events in the park, very short walk.

JD L.
Oh dear.....where to start. Let's start by saying I don't frequent this place often but once a while, I do drop by for a slice of pizza or two being that it is centrally located and open late. But that is where the good ends. The pizza itself is not that good to be honest but like most of the reviews here, it's the location and hours that attracts the customers. Many prior experience with the staff has been on the neutral side and since I'm not a person who loves to chat and I'm a order and go type of person, it works out just fine for me. However, this last visit was totally unexpected and to say the least shocking. Having ordered out food almost all my life, I have never been treated with such rudeness, particularly by this "big" lady, if I can even call her that. And considering that I work in the service business and own couple myself, I thought I've seen it all, well.....wrong. With such awful service, I don't even need to complete the review of how the pizza taste because for me, I have many places to choose to eat from and will never tolerate any disrespect from people I'm giving my business to. So I stick to my simple rule....just take my business elsewhere and never to visit Irving Pizza again. So Awadalla A, listen up, eventhough I don't frequent this place, you may be losing lots of customers who do all due to unnecessary rudeness. Being a business owner myself, I'm worried for you.

Ew. Ordered a pepperoni pizza tonight and some buffalo wings and so regret it! The pizza dough was tough and the pie was cooked for probably 20 min too long. The wings looked like the kind u buy in the freezer section at your neighborhood grocery store that they proceeded to throw in the deep fryer. $22 dollars I'll never get back and didn't even get to enjoy my midnight snack!!! :( ps. Nothing like new york pizza- don't get your hopes up reading the other yelp reviews

The best thing about Irving Pizza is: it's there. It is open and they deliver Sun-Thurs 11am-2am, on Friday and Saturday until 3am. Yep, it's there and it's open, and the pizza is edible, and you can buy slices, and they sell beer and wine and soda. Just noticed they have some weird sounding "House Specials" like the Irish Special with chicken, ham, sweet corn and bell pepper. Sounds like an insult to the Irish and the pizza.

I love this place for the pizza and the sandwiches are pretty yummy also. However, every time I go here, I get really crappy service. The man with the glasses always gives me the worst customer service. He is rude and acts like I'm not there when I order. Me and my order seem to always be forgotten. Though the most recent time I went, another employee noticed I was waiting 45 minutes for my order and offered a complimentary drink. That was greatly appreciated. Good Food, really bad customer service.

Pizza was great! Service-wise... I don't think he talk to me at all.. Basically just took my order and that was it... Fck the service. The pizza was great =) On the downside... I was driving so... I was hoping for a red light for 15 minutes... Didnt even happen. So my pizza was cold, but it taste great.

Welcome to the limited-time, best deal in town is the Scoutmob (50% off coupon) at Irving's Pizza. We got a small combination pizza for eight bucks and some change!!! I have had a lot of pizza in my life, from New York to CA so it is pretty hard to break into the 4- 5-er ranges for me. Iriving's pizza is the joint if you want classic tasting pizza. There are no "bells and whistles" so to speak, despite the many interesting types of pizzas that they offer. For the price, it was good, but I'm not so sure that I would go back, full price. Well, the Scoutmoub coupon lasts till 4/2012 so who knows? =D

After coming from downtown, we arrived in the Sunset around 10PM, but most places were closed. We decided to go to 9th and Irving first, but Kiki's was closed, Marnee Thai on 20 something Ave closed, so we decided to come here. The pizza looks cold and gross when you first walk in. You pick your slice then they'll heat it up for you in the oven, so it looks nice, hot and melted. I had the Hawaiian pizza for $3.50, not bad for a huge slice, and you get a punch card. After 6 stamps, you get a free slice with a fountain drink. I was thinking about giving them 3.5 stars, but they're open late so I'll round up for them.

All the times I've decided to randomly road trip up to SF I've ended up grabbing a bite from this spot. Bomb pizza, good price, and we always end up getting mad stares cause we're the retarded LA out of towners wearing shirts in 40 degree weather. I love the pizza and the fries. Great combination. They're open late too which is great! defintiely good pizza and a great town. keep it up Irving Pizza and SF.

Hm. Pizza at 2am is always good. But I do remember their vegetarian pizza being DELICIOUS. I could go for one right now....

I love this pizza late at night with ranch dressing. But, I may have to find a new place for this type of thing... Last night, I went in and ordered a slice of pizza. Before paying they say did you want anything else, and I said yes...1 ranch please. They tell me, sorry, we are out. So, my friend and I were like you are out? That sucks, that's the only reason we come here! So we paid and we sat down. Then, a lady brought us out ranch. She was like, we are just trying to limit how much we give out because some people actually come in here and pay for ranch. Um, I did ask before I paid, so charge me the extra quarter or whatever and let me have my extra 100 calories! I always offer to pay, I always ask how much it is, and they never charge...is that my fault? No. Don't lie and tell me you are out of something. Tell me, yes we have ranch, it is an extra (enter price here). Their pizza isn't bad (sometimes it is more fresh than other times), but I just don't like a place that lies to me...especially when I sit down and have flies flying all around my food in your restaurant.

So...I don't really get the deal with me and pizza joints lately. Tonight, boyfriend & I ordered a 3 topping large pizza & 12 buffalo wings - coupon for $23.99 for the entire meal. After ordering we asked what the total was so we'd be prepared for it when they deliver. The total came to bee $27.04. Sounds kind of high, right? I assumed there was a delivery fee included, but the flier stated "FREE DELIVERY" with a $10 or $12 minimum purchase. We call back and say we're going to pick up the pizza instead. The pizza was made quick and our order was waiting for us when we got there. However when we asked about the bill and how they were taxing us, they started getting angry with us! We asked nicely how they were taxing bc 9.5% tax on $23.99 is $2.28, Our total should have been $26.26, but the total was $27.04! They were taxing us 12.75%!!!! We weren't trying to be penny pinchers, we were just trying to understand why we were being taxed MORE. They were being real ass holes about it...we weren't even being rude. The guy opened the register and tossed a dollar at us. We didn't even pay yet, but we should have taken the dollar and said we paid. Ugh. We didn't mean to make a big deal about less than a dollar, but its the principle, right? If they're taxing all their customers 12.75% and they're getting tips upon delivery..they're profiting quite a bit, correct? No more ordering pizza from here...they might sneeze on it. *boyfriend requested a 1 star review bc he has been a customer for 5yrs...so who knows how much money he's been screwed out of.

Great late night pizza stop. Sell by the slice. Nothing too fancy or to write home about, but an excellent spot for your late night cravings. Also serve good sandwiches and a few various other menu items.

Unfortunately this was a terrible experience... I understand that your business had a rush of people come in, but there's no excuse for a cold & burnt pizza (how is that even possible?) Cold garlic bread, and dry, over done buffalo wings... I live 4 blocks away and never again will I order from this place again.. Even if you have a line out the door, there is no reason why food should be cold, burnt and dry... Take your time cooking what you love, instead of creating a bad customer experience... You didn't just lose my appetite, you guys just lost a customer for life...

Sweet late night delivery. Had the Hawaiian special, chopped full full full of toppings, solid crust! Can't speak for the in house slices but delivery was great and the delivery boy was just the right amount of flirty ;)

I've been spending an inordinate amount of time in the sunset recently. I was at a party where they ordered pizza from here but I didn't partake. Two days later my friend suggests this place. Assuming it must be good, I agreed. The pizza was incredibly average. It looks like it would taste awesome, considering the amount of toppings but I had to drown it in parm and red pepper flakes. They also only have two containers of each so you have to ask random tables if you can borrow it from them haha. My friend and I both got the veggie slice except I got the last one and he had to wait a good while before another veggie pizza came out. The portion is really good though and I'm sure it would taste amazing if you were drunk. It just wasn't doing it for me. Service was okay. Bathroom was kind of gross. Oh and there was the nicest old man working in the kitchen (which you have to bypass to get to the bathroom)

Slice of pepperoni and a bottled water $6. The pizza is terrible and is 90% dough . I had to ask for extra sauce as there was slim to none on it . If you are into pizza this is definitely not the place for you

The people who work there are friendly and the pizza has a puffier base bread with a medium level crust which blends really well with the tomato sauce; work the money and by the way... They serve a beer called Scarlet that is perfect partner to your meal!

If it is 2am and you are heading home and you live in the inner sunset or have to pass the inner sunset to get home...oh and you craving pizza. This is your place. They sell by the slice. Nothing too crazy. You have your cheese, pepperoni, combo, and maybe another something fancy shmancy. The pizza is very decent and hits the spot. This place has been around since I was teenager (so not telling you how old I am) and I can testify they are consistent! Oh and at 2am...praking is def NOT an issue :)

4 Stars for good pizza... AND EVEN BETTER RANCH SAUCE! Good ranch sauce to enjoy with your pizza is hard to come by, this place has got the ONE. Just get a slice of cheese, and their free ranch and your done.. but literally any kinda pizza I've had here never let me down, so know yourself out. I ALWAYS go here after a night of boozing. No, really, ALWAYS.

Ate pizza here since I was in elementary school. Its changed since then but the pizza is still great. If you are a big fan of thin crust and classic pizzas this is the place to go. However, the price has increased over the years. Great place to grab a slice of pizza late at night and drink beer with buddies. What I recommend: -- Pizza -- Beer

This is a great place to go for a slice of Pizza and a Beer and watch a televised sporting event. The slices are made right and can make for a very inexpensive dinner unless you are tempted by their recent improvements such as impressive draught Beer. I can't resist Dogfishhead 90 minute IPA in a pint glass, and it isn't cheap stuff but I really only need one of these aromatic and potent brews. The Pizza is very good. Last night I had two slices, one Pepperoni and Sausage which I doused with Tapatio (yum!) and one Hawaiian which was made with actual Canadian Bacon. Decidedly not lazy pizza crust, the gluten in the New York style crust has been developed with care. It is crunchy al dente and never soggy or overly bready. I prefer to come to the location for a slice and a beer than get the whole pizza delivered from Irving. The staff are very friendly and the motley crew of local characters watching basketball or the 49ers, usually solitary individuals alone and together gives the place a warm feeling of togetherness that is missing from many local establishments. They have a cheesesteak sandwich that I have ordered a few times called a "No Hangover Special" Essentially it is a cheesesteak made with provolone and a mixture of jalapeños and pepperoncini. No matter whether I tell them to go light on the peppers I still have to take a few off, but I have probably ordered it at least five times in as many years, It comes with huge yummy steak fries alongside and I feel guilty about asking them to make the sandwich in-store when there are always five fresh pies in the window that might go to waste if nobody ordered it -so I only ever got the sandwiches delivered. If you are ever in the neighborhood, I recommend Irving St Pizza.

Not good. Maybe if I was drunk and had this in the middle of the night I would have enjoyed it more. However, that was not the case. The dough was crappy, it was tasteless and too thick. The cheese was the worse cheese ever, thin and tasteless. The sauce, pepperoni and mushroom was ick. Honestly all the other chain pizzas like domino's and pizza hut are way better For anyone who says this is "thin" crust like NYC, you've clearly never been to NYC, or you've had the crappiest pizza there, which isn't possible because even that is better than here.

Called to order a large half veggie, half Hawaiian pizza to-go for some evening bonding time with the potential future roomies. We also got a 9-piece chicken wing order. When we walked down to pick it up, our order was still warm and ready for us! We also got some anchovies on the side and plenty of red pepper flakes. Inside, it seemed like a lot of people were doing the same and waiting for pizzas they had ordered to-go. We took it back to the apartment and dove in. It was a solid pizza. Sturdy crust, not overly greasy, and plenty of veggies! It was comparable to the gourmet veggie over at Round Table, minus the excessive salt. One piece filled me up without being too full. Good to know there's a reliable pizza place in the area!

I read over a few of the reviews before writing my own and I have to laugh at people complaining about service at a place like this. Um...it's a pizza joint. You walk up to the counter, get a slice and a beer and sit down. What do you want from a place like this?? Service aside, I just wanted to comment on the food. Since I'm originally from NY, I've long since come to the conclusion that you just can't get a good slice of pizza in SF. I'm a pizza snob. I like my pizza thin, my slices large and the crust just right - it has to be crisp but not dry. This place is pretty damn good for NY style pizza. I was impressed. And I will definitely be back. Plus, the beer was so cold, little icicles were forming. Love that.

Can I give 0 stars? Please! Worst experience with delivery I've ever had. First their estimated delivery time was an hour and unless the superbowl is playing there is no excuse for that. If you are so busy that you can't get the food to the customer in less than an hour you need to hire more drivers. Here's why. Lukewarm pizza sucks! But if they could have managed to get me pizza with in their estimated time I could have lived with it. 15 minutes after their estimated time still no pizza and no heads up that they were late. I checked with the eat 24 place that does their online ordering, they didn't know what was up but called the restaurant. The guy had called me "multiple times" and had come to the door but there was no answer. Hmm, thats bullshit! I've no missed calls no one knocked or rang the bell. The dog has been parked in front of the door since I asked him if he wanted some pizza. He didn't hear shit either. Ok, fine. Guy is running late and made up some bs excuse. It's to be expected from a place with management so lax that 1 hour delivery times are acceptable. So Eat24 guy tells me they will send the driver back over and it will be 5-10 minutes. Impatient, starving and a bit pissed off at this point I go and stand outside like an idiot for the next 20 minutes. Finally a phone call. Eat24, the guy has called me "numerous times", went from multiple to numerous they're really trying hard to get me my pizza now, and is waiting outside. Huh! I'm fucking outside and there is no one here. I canceled my order, I've no idea where the driver was or who he was calling but I don't need to eat 2 hour old pizza. Eat24 told me if I wanted to go pick it up instead of canceling that Irving pizza would hold it for me. No offer of a discount but they would gladly let me pick up my 2 hour old pizza DELIVERY. No thanks, cancel my order and let them know not only will they not be getting any business from me in the future yelp and everyone I know will get to listen to me bitch about what a horrible place Irving Pizza is and how they should not waste their time or money with these jokers. My opinion of Eat24 and anyone else that uses them has been somewhat tainted as well. Eat24 had no fault and their customer service was spot on. But man anyone associated with that fiasco can suck it. I'm actually a little pissed at all the people here giving it 4 and 5 stars. You jackasses with no standards are doing a real disservice to the rest of yelp. To sum up: Unless you are craving a lukewarm bacteria farm posing as a pizza, and have the two hours to kill waiting for it, then by all means order from Irving Pizza. If not get your pizza from anywhere else, it has to be a step up. UPDATE: After trying Seniore's Pizza I am left even more puzzled why anyone would EVER go to Irving Pizza. They're about a mile and a bit apart, straight down 19th ave. Seriously, take a bus, take a cab, give them a call and place an order for delivery as you walk your drunk ass home. You'll still get your pizza before you would have from Irving, and not only will it be good it won't make you sick. After reading though the reviews I don't even know how the health department hasn't stepped in, shoes on the prep table, flies all over, old pizza, I lost count of the number of people that said they got sick.

Ordered pizza from these amateurs and said that I wanted pickup instead of delivery. Straightened out the confusion 10 mins later, but it took them 1 hr and 15 mins to figure it out. They paused, however, to try to blame me over the phone for changing the medium of transaction. I won't order from them again.

The place is kinda dirty and the workers have some stink faces like they don't really want to be there. What happened to the two brothers from before? Now those guys were fun. The pizza doesn't taste as good here anymore, its still greasy greasy but more doughy and chewy. The chicken parmigiana sandwich still hits the spot.

The garlic fries are just regular cut-up potatoes with garlic heavily thrown on top of them, so they're nothing to write home about, but the pizza slices are cheap, and so is the beer. They do sandwiches and salads as well, but who goes to a pizza shop for that? Bums, that's who. The pizza is your classic greasy slice, and while it's not a NY thin slice, it's still a fairly good west-coast-style, heavy-on-the-toppings slice. Combine with some buds, and two tvs that show Giants/Warriors/Niners games, and it's all good. The seats are super jenky, but whatever. It's a dive pizza shop. At least you can sit and drink and watch the games while slightly inebriated and within a pace or two of more greasy fare. There's also outdoor seating, but it's the Sunset. Come on, who does that?

(5minutes ago) I ordered two combos, the guy said $9.10, payed $10,I received back 90 cents. I looked at the price of combo which is listed right on top, it was 3 something, and 25cents for the box (the math didn't add up) the Latin guy working behind the register did not seem like he wanted to give me my receipt when I asked for it, he angrily began to type on the monitor for two minutes, once he gave me the receipt, it said $8.10, then he looked over to the customer after me and said you saw me give him a dollar back right? Wow.... I told him you lost all my business, a dollar is not much to me, its about the principle that counts, beware, they are stealing money, and I grew up in the sunset my whole life, could not believe i was being scammed over a lousy dollar. There have been times i go to underdog which is directly across the street to catch some sporting games, and afterwords i might grab a slice, not anymore. I am really disappointed and I will not recommend this place to any of my clients ever again!

I met up with my buddy in the FiDi after work and we decided to grab a drink and catch up. We rode the train back to his pad and originally planned to hit up Underdog's but it was totally packed so instead we went across the street for a slice and inexpensive beer. I ordered a slice of the sausage and pepperoni with a Sam Adams draught. It took a while to heat up but was pretty tasty and comparably grease-free. The beer was less than $4 a pint and a solid bargain compared to other places in the area and they've got TVs, making it a good alternative to the crowded bars. Service was kind of slow and but the place is a pretty satisfying dive. They've even got a couple tables outside for all of you dog walkers out there. Since they've got late hours, it is a great place to grab cheap eats and drinks and, being the night owl that I am, I'm sure I will be back. Food: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Price: $ Atmosphere: 6/10

Honestly, I chose Irving Pizza because it was late and just about everything else nearby seemed to be closed. I ordered using a phone app, Go Pago, and the order was ready by the time that I got there, which was a plus. The fish and chips ($.7.99) pretty much tastes like fish sticks that you'd get from the frozen food aisle. I know that might sound bad, but I used to eat those fish sticks as a kid, and I guess that I have a special place in my heart for them. So I thought they tasted pretty decent. The three pieces of fish were hot, and crispy on the outside; yet not dry on the inside. They give you little packets of tartar sauce too. The fries, as my boyfriend put it, "tastes like ore ida fries, but fresh." I admit that they did have a nice freshly (not sure if fresh is a good word) fried taste to them. They were really crisp on the outside, yet soft on the inside- pretty decent. I don't know why I went for fish and chips at a pizza restaurant, but it just sounded good. I guess if I'm ever in need of late night food again, I'll maybe try the pizza. Service was very casual and not remarkable, just exactly what I expected. Notes: -They serve pizza by the slice!

First of all, I've been a customer here for about four years. Always enjoyed their "California-style" pizza. Topping laden, fluffy crust, quickly executed. My wife and I recently came back to the neighborhood (we moved away about a year ago), and we were distressed to see this place devolved into a trashy late night hang out for the usual drug addicted crowd that hang out near golden gate park. The food is still spot on; however, (to the owners) stop letting your employees hang out with beers purchased from outside the building with their friends. It has an air of disrespect that I want to not have my money going towards.

Landon E.
Nice pizza place with a nice selection of different types of slices. Nice ambiance too, very casual and quick. Seems rather authentic. The pizzas themselves are just mediocre, great for a quick meal or snack but not quite worth it for a sit-down meal experience. The taste is definitely elevated by adding oregano and chili flakes but ideally it wouldn't require the addition. Lot of potential to be an excellent pizzeria.

Andrew M.
Irving Pizza admirably fills the desperate void that often springs up past normal dinner times. Does Irving Pizza offer a great pie? By no means. Grease freely flows from each slice of the combo; the amount of salt on the each slice is probably an ancient civilization's fortune; and the toppings are anything but fresh. Moreover, the seats are dingy, the tables are tiny, and loud drunks freely flow in and out of the place. However, the magical combination of a slice and the dark of night makes Irving Pizza palatable. Though severely processed, the toppings are plentiful; the crust is crispy and resistant to sogginess; and the price of each large slice is fair (do use the Scoutmob discount on an x-large). My return to Irving Pizza is inevitable.

Veronica N.
Fantastic place with amazing service. I ordered from here using the GoPago app and they communicated well and I simply just went in a picked up my order hassle-free. I ordered a no-hangover philly cheesesteak and a bacon burger for my friend. I have to say the philly cheesesteak was crazy good and they were kidding when they said there were going to be a lot of jalapenos, just how I like it! They also gave a bunch of thick cut fried with each item we ordered which was great! Would definitely come back without a doubt.

Small, cozy pizza joint. The pizza was pretty good and what I expected from a pizza place. These are all decently proportioned regular crust pizza. Pros: 1. good pizza Cons: 1. I can't say anything stood out about the place compared to other pizza joints. But, there also wasn't anything bad that caught my eye. It was a pretty standard pizza place.

Pizza. Sandwich. Together. You often find sandwiches on pizzeria menus. Not as often will you be encouraged to create your own just like a pie. Just like with their namesake start by choosing your toppings. Selected grilled chicken, tomato and artichoke hearts. French roll and marinara sauce come standard. Everything together they very good. Priced right at six bucks. Was headed towards a fourth star but the food was served a bit cold despite being wrapped in foil. Few extra minutes in the oven would likely have meant one extra star.

So it's 11:30 PM and we just missed the window of our favourite Indian pizza place and we're searching for a vegetarian option. This is the spot that still delivers at that time. Quite the save that night. Anyhow the pizza is good -- very tasty which just the right blend of sauce, dough, and veggies on top. This will definitely be a staple for late night pizza or dinner saves.

Melissa N.
This place is so delicious! I was kinda sorta but not really in a rush to get to Golden Gate Park for Outside Lands, but at the same time, didn't want to spend money on park food, so I stopped here and bought a slice of vegetarian pizza. It was sooo good! It had the perfect amount of veggies, cheese, and deliciousness. I had to ask for extra olives, so they took my pizza to the back and melted the olives into the cheese. YUM. They also serve beer here for pretty cheap too. :)

Place is OK. But I think it got worse with time. The wings are good, but not as good as they used to be before. Pizza is alright when you are drunk at 2AM but tried it sober - what the f** is it? Definitely not a place to go if you are not drinking - I think I got overcharged there too.

Placed an order on my gopago app today for an xl hawaiian style pizza and an xl self built combo. Order was ready in 30 minutes as promised and the pizza was delicious. They even listened to my instructions for creating dividing the pizza into more slices. The crust was good and not too dry, the toppings were fresh, and the sundried tomatoes were awesome as expected. I guess you won't need to be drunk to enjoy this pizza joint!

I only came here because I was really hungry, and it was close by. It was late at night, so I wasn't thinking straight since I'm always hesitant to go to this place. Thanks to the 2 horny clerks behind the counter who left my slices in the oven too long and burnt both of them. While my 2 pizza slices were sitting in the oven, they were spending too much time talking to a 21 year old blonde woman. How do I know this? One of the clerks asked how old she was...probably making sure she wasn't jail-bait. The older dude who is usually there has no smile every time I've gone while it's packed, but dude had a smile from ear to ear this time. Go figure. Oh yea...the pizzas still sucked.

The pizza is okay at best. It sits on warmers for too long and doesn't justify the cost. As a local I would have assumed they would have treated me with a little more respect. It's just a big assembly line with these folks.

2AM + Drunk = just OK... Isn't everything suppose to taste amazing while drunk? I've lived across this place for about 4 months now, and it smells like it has a lot of potential, but execution is blah and nothing fantastic. I rather just go back to my apt and sleep, w/o the regret the next morning.

If you like being really healthy and watch everything you eat, might as well GTFO now =/ I never crave to come here, but I'm always down if someone else wants pizza. This is one of my favorite by the slice joints! With Scoutmob's recent 50% off deal, $2 a slice is super legit. YES the pizza is greasy, YES it's a fat slice, YES slap a ton of parm and peppa flakes on it, YES get a second slice! Delicious whether you're sober or not! There's also a good handful of beers on tap! Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

Justin S.
Something about this place sucks. Unfortunately it's the only pizza joint within walking distance of my house so I'm stuck coming here but this may be the deal breaker for me living in the Sunset. The ingredients on their pizza are good and they take the time to warm your slice but the pizza is soggy and the crust is not all that great. And even if that was better the overall experience is not up to the minimum standard of fine pizza establishments around this fair city.

It's New Year's Eve and the clocks ticking. Haven't eaten since early that afternoon and everything was closing up or already closed; what's left that's open? A bar we passed with an already half drunken crowd outside and this place, Irving Pizza. Way to bring in the New Year with some greasy pizza! I elected on the combination slice. Their pizzas are of the thinner crusted variety, and like the usual routine with places that sell by the slice, they pop the pizza into an oven for two magical minutes and presto. Pizza's ready. Maybe it was the occasion or timing, but the number of different slices sold on the spot was limited. Besides the slices sitting there waiting to be bought like puppies at a pet store, they also have an assortment of different specialty pizzas they make fresh. Some of them looked interesting, but given the moment it wasn't a choice. Side note to start here, if you're vertically challenged like my Bun, the counter might be a little high from my recollection. I went to pay and they handed the pizza to Bun. Let's say, she was close to having to jump ball for it. I had a laugh out of it, not so much on her end. My first bite indicated a sound crispiness which lead to a fair assumption to say, the oven was working. It had a reasonable amount of toppings and was a good size. My serving had more cheese than expected, but I'm throwing that into the case of random sampling. For a hangout spot, it's not the most recommended. The limited televisions aren't positioned in the best angles and the seating is a little run down. When it comes to pizza locations like these, it's just fast food; loads of choices, but not a lot of deviation from taste. Compared to its neighborhood peers, I'd say it's on par. Even though you'll pay a few quarters more than the usual for a slice, the thin crust pizza at Irving Pizza isn't bad. For a convenient and quick bite, it's all right.

Thank you IP for always being there after my drunken nights in SF. It isn't a good night until my friends & I end it eating a slice at Irving Pizza. Its a good solid pizza & will help you sober up after a night of shenanigans. The staff is always nice & its cheap. What more can you ask for?

Ms. Frank T.
I am surprised that Irving Pizza is rated at only 3.5 stars. I absolutely love this place. Its stays open with hot inexpensive savory good for all of those who need to sober up after a late night. In my opinion, Irving pizza has probably saved hundreds of lives! I have had a variety of their pizzas since I usually get there late. All very tasty!!!!' Insider tip: Scoutmob has a deal for 50% off pizza up to 10$. Feel awesome after you drink away all your cash :) Also if you buy 9 stamps you get one freeee!!!! Free pizza after a long night ? Score!

I first tried this place during the gopago launch and my initial thoughts on their pizza was that the ingredients are fine, but the bread just didn't cut it for me. Now, after having it on a number of occasions I can say I don't really care much for this pizza. They should take a page out of the seniores pizza playbook and come back with a better product.

There's nothing quite like going out drinking around the city on the weekend and knowing that you can stop by here and sober up with a good slice of pizza and some disgustingly delicious jalapeno poppers til 3 a.m. Now when I saw "disgustingly", I'm not referring to the taste because these little pieces of food are quite amazing. I say disgusting because of the queasy feeling you'll get when you wake up the next morning after eating a bunch of them. (But if you're gonna keep munching down on these things like I did, you are kind of asking to feel that say. D'oh) But with all that said, the food here is great, regardless of whether you get their pizza or their sandwiches, and with their willingness to be open late into the night, this place is always a great option, one that I know I personally will keep going to after nights of partying.

As much as this is a pizza joint and I don't expect much customer service, I have to say that the guys behind the counter seem rude and my delivery took more than an hour, when I live just a couple of blocks away. So yeah not that great.

Tasty, greasy, giant slices of New York style pizza. Perfect if that's what you're craving. Greek salad was okay. Yummy feta and tasty tomatoes. May not reorder the salad. Service is fairly non existent and sadly they don't deliver to my neighborhood. If I'm in the area again, I may grab another greasy slice.

This review is for late night eatout, especially on a weekend when you are soo drunk and suffering from the usual after-party craving to hog on anything before crashing on the bed! The best bet for the Sunset is right here!! A slice of heavenly pizza! Hot slice filled with toppings, grease dripping but WhoTF cares! The combo, pepperoni, veggie , pesto, mushroom n cheese - all are great, with an extra help of parm n chilli flakes on top!! And maybe more cold beer?? Pros : 1. Hot slices filled with toppings 2. Open till 3am on weekends! 3. Very quick service 4. Cheap cheap cheap! just $4 a slice!! Go back home happy wasted to be back next weekend again!!

Perfect spot to whip into when you're sick of Vietnamese and/or Japanese food... Good crust on the "by-the-slice" pies, and it's a quick stroll to the GG Park West playground and trails off MLK Drive. Recommended if you're in the area.

I think their pizza is just fine. But its really the rest of the menu I like. Pretty much anything that Irving Pizza deep fries, is good. The buffalo wings rock! The chicken sandwich - a guilty pleasure. Fish and chips - at 2am hell yes! Plus you can grab a beer there which is a pretty great way to end a night out.

Satisfying pizza place that's open and delivers late. What more can you ask for? Perfect place to stop for a slice after a night of drunken shenanigans, bwahahahaha! Easily accessible from the N, 71, 28 and 29! Also yummy BBQ wings. It's always nice to sit and eat a slice here because it's so casual. The staff usually has their eyes glue to whatever sports game they have on.

The beauty of this place is their closing time. It's truly inspiring to be able to score late night delivery and a thick doughy slice of greasy pizza till 3pm . Yeah, get this: Irving Pizza delivers till 2am Sunday through Thursday and they deliver till 3am on Friday and Saturday. That is a glorious statement. Especially when you haven't eaten anything all day and know that you have an empty refrigerator to look forward to. And the pizza... The pizza is solid. As well as their hot toasted sandwiches. In fact I am sitting in my Scion zipcar right now typing this, while the Eagles' Hotel California croons from the radio, as the overwhelming smell of hot marinara sauce still lingers. A reminder of the veggie laden, marinara covered, toasted sandwich I just inhaled. Bringing me to a solid conclusion: that life is good. Life is very good. Trust. Oh and PS - for some truly wowing late night scarf sessions - go to 24/7 Donut World and order a microwaved apple fritter - and then get your Irving Pizza pie delivered there. Mind boggling. Mind boggling.

Just moved to the city and ordered from Irving Pizza twice so far! I placed a delivery order both times and both orders were on time and the pizza was delicious! I recommend this place to anybody wanting quick and delicious pizza!

Good food. HORRIBLE delivery guys. One of them calls from down the street ( I live in a perfectly accessibe house btw), makes you wait at the door (this has happened 3 times) and then literally tries to run away with your change. The last time I ordered from them he delivered the wrong pizza and I called in and no one fixed it. When I called the next day they told me, "That sucks." NEVER AGAIN.

I must have been just extremely hung over and needy for sustenance. I tried again and this place sucked. soggy crust, sloppy low quality cheese. ):

So this is what the pizza tastes like when sober? I hate pizzas that look like they might be NY-style, but end up as a horrible imitation. Best to come when your only other alternative is passing out somewhere. Cheese Slice: The bottom had no crispness at all. The darn thing flopped over limp when held by the crust like a bad Cialis ad. The sauce to cheese ratio was good, but the cheese seemed overly greasy. I did appreciate that they at least have the sacred four: pepper flakes, garlic powder, oregano and parmesan cheese.

I used to love this place! Minus one star because I think they changed the recipe with the new owners. It's great because it's open late at night after drinking. Pizza was always nice and crunchy on the bottom and good thin crust. Now I don't go there as much after the stabbing and shootings going on near this place. Pizza not worth getting killed for.

Great late night pizza...way better than it has to be, especially for that hour and so convenient. The perfect place to hit after a fun night of drinking. Surprising amount of parking there late night too, although if you've been drinking, you probably shouldn't be driving there. Anyway, we popped in here after leaving Philosopher's and I was glad we did. Place was bright, clean, and the people were nice. Despite it being late Sat night, there were no drunks or rowdies this time which amazed me. Perhaps I caught it during the calm before the storm. Pizza was delicious and I was happy I didn't have to brave the edgy late Sat night crowd at Seniore's.

My boyfriend and I are a fan of Irving Pizza's pizza -- medium crust with a good amount of cheese -- but Irving's delivery drivers are the absolute worst. On several occasions (at least three), our pizza has been delivered 1.25 to 2 hours after we placed our order. Yeah, that's right: TWO hours. I don't know what happened to the days of 30 minute delivery, but two hours is ridiculous. Bottom line: if you don't mind waiting, order. If you'd like to eat in a timely manner, Irving is not your joint.

This place is great -- their pizza is always really good and their slices are ginormous! They've got a really great selection of pizzas ready to be served by the slice, but have a wide variety of other items on the menu. They've also got a really good selection of beers! More so than other places I feel. And if you're here with some friends and don't want to spend a lot of money, you can always order a slice and and split an $8 pitcher. Gotta love that! Sadly this place is overshadowed by the Taco Shop across the street, but Irving Pizza gets a lot of the overflow from people who couldn't grab a seat at the Taco Shop to watch the game. I usually just pick to come here first -- I'm usually always guarenteed a comfortable seats to watch my Giants on TV :)

I could get better pizza in Italy. pizza is a great italian dish that i discovered not too long ago. i was sick of dating and girls so i decided to dial up some pizza delivery service in my own home. that's where irving's pizza came in. well, an hour after i called is when they came in, but not into my good graces. i was starving my butt off and waiting forever for some 'hospitaliano' but my delivery boy must have been playing around on his razr phone because it was cold and congealed. i had a couple of slicings and was sick, so i gave the rest to my fat roommate Humphrey. now i'm perturbed and reconsidering making Domino's my go-to for italian.

Wow, people are really divided over this place; most seem to love or berate it. I'm in the love it camp. They are open late. Late late late - Thank you!!! My review is based solely on their 'by the slice' pizza, and I usually stop by late at night after a show, drinking, etc. It's not gourmet pizza. It can't be healthy - check out that grease! But damn it's good. When I get one slice I typically crave more. I've gotten two slices and that's a bit much, unless I'm pretty hungry. I recall not liking their pesto as much, but I'm a big fan of their veggie, pepperoni, and just plain cheese. Several of these reviews point out the high cost of the slices, but you know what, they're fairly big slices. I actually have no issue with the quantity and quality I get for the price. There are some other places I can think of where I pay less and get less, and a lot less satisfaction. I'll pay for some satisfaction.

Hands down best drunk pizza in SF. Every time I walk past this place, the smell sucks me in and makes me order a huge Veggie slice, complete with roasted garlic on top. Once I ordered a sandwich here... I wasn't so impressed, so my advice is stick to the pizza. Also good to know, they have some great beers on tap that are worth trying out!

Jim W.
Scratch that, maybe you'll get delivery, maybe not. This joker of a delivery driver calls my cellphone from the street (we live in an apt building) and says that if we want our pizza, we're going to have to go and meet him on the street. WTF? Said he won't bring it to our apartment. That's a new one. We have a key pad (standard) for which delivery people will find our names and ring the apartment (also standard) so we can buzz them in for door delivery (again, standard). He said he'd gone far enough, but did manage to irritate a few neighbors pushing random buttons on the pad. Yep, had to go down to the street to get our pies. What a putz.

Before judging so quickly based on the average stars.. click on the "Elite" tap of the reviews, and you'll notice the majority of us that reviewed Irving Pizza gave them a positive review. That doesn't go with saying that those who aren't Elite do not know how to review without a bias.. but some of the reviews I'm reading are truly disappointing, and I'm speaking about them personally. When I'm traveling in the sunset, I can't help but to grab a slice of combo here. I guess everyone prefers their own style of pizza, to me.. if it taste good it taste good. I have no clue what Chicago style, or what style is. In fact, I don't really care what style it is.. it's pizza and good! Anyways, whatever style this actually is.. their crust is thinner than the average and it's crunchy. I can literally hold it up and eat it rather than something soggy you can get at Costco's is also good). They always toast the pizza when you order by slice so that way it's crispy and hot. I must say that every time I've eaten their ever since H.S, I was ALWAYS satisfied. To me this isn't the average pizza joint like Domino's or Round Table, it's unique. If you were to compare with well known joints, I'd say Pizza My Heart would come close, but I'd take Irving Pizza over them. The people their are a hit and miss sometimes, but usually they're kind asking you how's your day, etc etc the typical small talk. Small talk is always better than NO talk.

If you're looking for a place to grab a pizza(s), drink a cold beer, and watch some sports, this is it! I've only been here once and the pizza was amazing! Everything is prepared fresh right before your eyes and they serve up some HUGE slices. Prices are reasonable as well. My only pet peeve was the speed of service. To be fair, there was only one person working.

This place has been around for a while and I always wanted to try it out - so this week I did. It was a big mistake. I ordered a slice of combo pizza and decided to add anchovies on top. They piled up the anchovies and added a few more strands of cheese before reheating the pre-made slice. The anchovies overwhelmed the rest of the pizza; I had to pull off most of it. The pizza's oil soaked the box; I am still trying to get the stain off my pants. The pizza itself lacked cheese; I wondered why the topping kept on falling off. Overall, it was a very disappointing pizza experience.
(1)
Amanda C.
The combo pizza they have by the slice is awesome! Full of toppings including crunchy fresh veggies and some pretty decent sausage (it can be so loaded that the toppings fall off lol--not complaining!). The jalapeno poppers and garlic fries are bomb but the philly cheese steak sandwich was just alright.. the meat is a little dry and there wasn't enough cheese :( I haven't been in the restaurant in a while but the delivery is fast and they've never forgotten anything in my orders. Definitely a reliable place

My wife and I ordered pizza from here last night. We had a medium cheese and didn't specify any further. The pizza came quickly and the ordering process was fine. Unfortunately, that was the last of the pleasant part of the night. The pizza was way too thick for NY style pizza. That's fine, I know that I'm in Cali. My wife felt that the sauce was tasteless. I would have preferred it to have been tasteless. In fact, I think it was bad. The sauce was bad, the cheese was bad, the whole thing was bad. As hungry as I was, I couldn't finish one whole slice. If we had just left it at that, I would have given it maybe 2 stars, but we didn't. My wife woke up in the middle of the night sick. Yes, the cheese pizza had made her sick. That's not good to hear. We won't be going back, nor do we understand why people like this crap. Go get some good pizza folks.

sharon s.
food is very average. cheese pizza tastes exactly how i would expect, it's decent but can't say it stacks up to those cheap & great tasting pizza joints strewn around NYC. ordered the garlic fries. tastes like those steak fries you get from the frozen food aisle with a bunch of minced garlic thrown on top. wasn't really a fan. wasn't that flavorful... one plus is that it is one of the few restaurants that is open late in sunset. not sure what the 4-5 star reviews are from? i think eating this sober vs drunk makes a difference.

There aren't a lot of good pizza options in San Francisco, at least not for someone like myself who's originally from the North East and takes her pizza very seriously. But Irving Pizza really is delicious and a slice above many others in this area! My favorite pizza here is the Ground Beef and Ricotta....ooooooh, it's soooo good!!!! Gooey and beefy and delicious!!! My partner really digs the sausage pizza, and my mother always gets chicken and vegetables, because she's more adventurous than I am with her pies. We happily use their coupons for take-out and delivery (we often pick up because we live nearby), and also have a slice card for when we're walking by and are driven in by the intoxicating aroma of pizza....mmmm...just thinking about it makes my mouth water! Basically, I'm a fan. It's no New-York-style slice, but it does the trick when I'm looking for a solid pizza experience! Oh, did I mention they're open late? Smart, especially since they're right across the street from a bar...

simon k.
Best pizza in San Francisco. crispy buttery crust, tasty meats, fresh vegetables all call for an excellent pizza. Definitely my favorite spot for pizza in SF. a full pizza is like 30 bucks.. but well-worth it cus it tastes better than dominoes, pizza hut, round table etc. get supreme.. its a must try!!

Nancy N.
I come here for lunch occasionally. Pizzas are pre-made and they're set behind viewing-windows. Once you enter, you'll see what's available right away. They heat it in their oven before giving it to you, it's just as good. There's a lunch combo where it includes a slice of pizza and a fountain drink for less than $4. :) I usually get pepperoni and you can see the oil being cupped onto each pepperoni. Yea, their pizzas are more greasy than most places, but.. just pat the grease down with napkins!!! Oil's what makes pizza THAT good!

Libra J.
EFF YOU IRVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate you for being ridiculously late after you called me an HOUR ago to tell me you're outta fresh basil. I figure this dope on the phone has my sandwich in his hands and is preparing it. So now it's been sitting around for AN HOUR. You stupid dumb pizza people!!!!!!!!! I am so angry!!
(1)
Cori W.
Ehhhh. I tried to come here this weekend to indulge in some veggie pesto slices. They only had 2 pizzas made and they looked like they had been sitting for a while. I asked if they were going to make a cheese or veggie and got a blatant "no". Why must they do this to me?! Make fresh pizzas damn it! Do you want to make money? We ended up leaving empty handed and ordered from Escape From New York instead.

Huntting B.
So, I went there the other day for lunch. They do slices, and they are pretty large. And then a pepperoni slice is only 3.25. The pizza isn't super thin, and the dough is very doughy tasting. The real only downside to this place was that the pizza was served out lukewarm to customers. The pizza is also pretty greasy. While I was eating the slice all of a sudden I had a lot of grease running down my hand. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though, great post hangovwr and sometimes you just want a greasy slice of pizza.

This is my go to place for a late night slice. Not the best pizza but it serves it's purpose. I always try to look a all the pies and I get the one that looks like they just made it....

Andrew B.
I'm not a picky pizza eater. So don't take the two-star as a, "I didn't like this place" type of two-star. It's just that I've eaten so much pizza, and like it so much, that I can't give it any more than two stars. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was pretty good. It had a really good garlic flavor and creative topping combinations. I ate quite a bit. However, it didn't wow me any more than ordering from a typical pizza place would. Which is to say that, it's not terrible pizza. I would like to go back and try their New York style by-the-slice pizzas but as far as their standard pizza goes, it's not going to be the best you've ever had but it's definitely not bad. Maybe a tad overpriced. Still, if you're craving pizza and don't want your typical delivery pizza, this is a viable option for you. Cheers!

Mmmm nothing but a good ole pizza, If you're hungry come here!! Got some clean seats and fresh pizza. It turns hipster at night, and a lot of drunk people. Which is entertaining hahahaha. I live like 5 blocks away. Easy walk home, plus it's still hot when I walk back. Anyways it's also close to gg park if u wanna sit and eat there... Idk? Same concept as why ppl run in the part this late too....... 12am... Id come back cause it's fresh n good

I ordered 2 slices of pizza eating in for $4 each. Register rung up $9.50 instead of $8.70. Please tell me how taxes for $8 worth of pizza comes out to $9.50, it doesn't. Shops like these take advantage of people who just don't pay attention to the prices and just hands them cash/credit. I corrected the cashier(younger hispanic guy) and he gave me the stink eye and aggressively yanked my credit card out of my hand. After i had paid, i know he was trash talking with his colleague about this transaction. Watch out for these dishonest and greedy cashiers. *Had to watch my pizza come out to ensure no foreign toppings was added" They were going to take advantage of me over .80cents. It's not about the 80 cents, it's about running a company with integrity. Obviously, this one does not.

We ordered over the phone and want pizza be delivered. They were in time. Pizza was not fresh. It looks like they just added the topics I wanted over precooked pizza. Smell is weird. $26 ($30 w tips) for mid size pizza this quality is a lot. Hope it was a single case happened and they will find a nicer way to use previously refused/undelivered pizzas.

Jamie S.
Stopped here before class for a quick bite to eat. Ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza as I thought "if a place can't get regular pepperoni right something's gotta be wrong," and also ordered buffalo wings. The pizza was a little on the greasy side but pretty good none-the-less. Both my cousin and I would definitely go back and perhaps order a pitcher of PBR next time. On the other hand, the buffalo wings were deep fried and bland. I was disappointed and thought pouring their watered down version of ranch would help, but to no avail.

Great pizza by the pie, or the slice!!! I love the vegetarian pizza, the chicken pesto, and their pepperoni, they are all so delicious!!! They're also great for delivery, and they make it oh so easy! Jump on their website, place your order, and in thirty minutes you're eating from the comfort of your couch!!!

Not bad, though the crust is definitely not thin. Also could use more tomato sauce on the pie. On the plus side, delivery was actually faster than promised on a Saturday night.

This place has great pizza. The kind of pizza that is not for the faint of heart, or those assholes who dab the grease off with a napkin. The food garnered all of the stars for this review, because to call the service unsatisfactory would be like saying "House of the Dead" is kind of a bad movie. When my friend Don and I moved to the Sunset and set up base camp here he nicknamed it "Mongoloid Pizza" because of the brainiacs manning the counter. I don't think the guy we used to get pizza from could remember anything for more than 10 seconds. If you got out of there with only having to repeat yourself 5 times, it was a damn good day. I'm not sure I've ever been charged the correct amount for my food, but didn't want to argue for fear an all-night debate over $.50. Also, the place is roughly the temperature of the average sauna on full blast, even with the door wide open. If you have the patience of Jobe and enjoy greasy food you have found your Elysium.

U can definitely get better pizza almost everywhere else. Dont go here, they suck. Since they are open til the early A.M they allow the place to overcrowd and for people to literally get killed. If they would close down earlier and follow their facilities fire hazzard max capacity rule, 2 men would still be alive today.

One of the few places that sells slices, especially past 1am, which is the only time I am ever there. It is the ultimate place after some sunset bar hopping when you need some drunk food. The main guy who is behind the counter must be a millionare by now since I have dumped a couple hundred bucks into this place over the past year and a half. Also, they are great when it comes to field trips with young kids. I took a group of about 20+ kids here for a pizza party, and they majorly hooked us up, and during lunch time no less! They pushed together the tables, got the food out to us quick, and even comped us our sodas. If I could give these guys 6 stars I would, just for their customer service!

Jeffrey D.
I love SF and the only thing i miss about NYC is the pizza - but I have to echo the former-East-Coast pizza cognoscenti who have posted here: this is the closest thing to NYC pie here in the holy fog. I can only speak for delivery. Crust is properly thin and crispy. Sauce is multilayered and appropriate. Cheese is a bit heavy, but the great ingredients make up for this very slight, admittedly tasty concession to pop pizza tastes. Thanks guys, now i have no reason to miss 'the Other city.'

Definately not the best pizza on the block. It is pretty much always dry and nasty! Most of the time I've been there in the last few months there is no sauce on the pizza and it looks like its been sitting out for a few hours. I think I'll pass.

I've had pizza from this place a few times, it's good. It's a little pricey for what you get. If you can find coupons then it brings the price down to normal. My roommate and I got 2 medium 2 topping Pizzas for $24.00 ($30 after tax and tip).

The pizza is nothing special but it's open til 3am so who am I to complain? It's just standard pizza after a night of drinking or if you want late nite munchies. Get your slice, sit down, drink your soda and then go home. There are worst things in the world to do. The dining area isn't too large but when I come here late night, not that many people actually sit and eat so you pretty much have free reign on any table. Parking is good here late night and the workers actually let you know if you're parked in a street sweeping zone so you can move it. Nice guys huh....

ehnonymus ..
so my original review (literally posted yesterday) was four stars and said: 'i pretty much want to eat a slice of their vegetarian pesto deliciousness every day. it is blessed with nearly otherworldly perfection... fantastic crust, wonderful cheese/topping ratio, and exemplary pesto. love.' writing about the deliciousness made me crave the deliciousness so i ordered a medium of said amazing vegetarian pesto to be delivered. except when it was delivered it wasn't the right pizza, so i called to inquire only to find that they had sent my order to another irving pizza and they must have screwed it up, so i could call them if i wanted. seriously? insult to injury- both places charged me. wtf.

Had some Irving Pizza during the veep debates on the recommendation of a favorite fellow yelper. The pizza itself was three stars - totally tolerable basic California pizza. The wait for the delivery guy was so long that I'm knocking it down to two stars.

Hi. Me, pregnant, craving strange foods, stranded at home, no car, take out my only option. I've ordered from here a few times, only once pizza (I'm not much of a pizza person unless it's homemade). So, I can't say I can review the thing that most people come here for but I can say - the chicken sandwich, the fish sandwich, the french fries (the french fries!!! They're thick like steak fries, love) and the green salad with balsamic dressing that came with my "healthy order" sandwich (they just say that to make you feel better about the fact that you just ordered a sandwich that has a deep fried slab of fish slathered with tartar sauce) - they're all pretty yummy. Not things I'd be excited to see if I ordered out, but for the price and the delivery, totally good. Really, that green salad did not disappoint (unlike virtually every other pizza joint salad), that Newman's Balsamic dressing is yummy! The sandwiches are simple, but not greasy and the delivery is not fast but not too slow (or at least it wasn't for me...barely under 1 hr - though I am literally down the street). This place stays on my list of craving takeout resources. :)

I started coming here to do my homework because a friend of mine worked the counter and she constantly hooked me up with free pizza and beer. So, I have to give Irving Pizza credit for not knowing/caring how much her boyfriend and I swilled as we loitered around the parlor watching Nascar (yeah, seriously). Well, now she's gone, so there's no more freebies, but I still order Irving Pizza, if that tells you anything. If the plug is pulled on something after you've developed a sense of entitlement and a dependency to it, chances are you'll never bring yourself pay full price. This place has got me doing it. Delivery is pretty quick, not usually over 30-40 minutes and the pizza is always hot. I recommend the Igor Special. It's a killer pizza with the works. P.S. Don't watch Nascar, it's as boring as you think it is.

You would have to be very very drunk to think that this place has awesome tasting pizza..the young lady behind the counter lacks any customer service and TMI on your personal life . she would rather argue with you than help solve the problem the delivery guy behind the counter gave us better service ..review of the pizza we had was uneventful for the money would be better eating a frozen pizza

I ordered garlic bread which doesn't take that long to make... i waited for over 20 mins...finally went to ask them..they forgot my f***** g bread. I was pretty mad, coz i dun like doin to these places anyways. they told me oh it doesnt take that long, another 5-10 mins. i said no, i want my money back. they couldnt put it back on my card, and gave me cash. Whatever! I hate it here! The one on geary isn't any better.

It's 1:30 in the morning on a Friday night and all that drinking has given me mad food craving. I wall over to Irving pizza and pick up a slice. Quality pizza. They usually have a good variety of ready-made slices. I think you can special order a slice, but it'd probably take 15 minutes. If you aren't picky, just make sure to get a slice of whatever just came out of the oven. If it's fresh out the oven, it's outstanding.

Laura F.
Amazing pizza! The pesto is especially delicious, but quite greasy. I have friends/family who demand to be taken here every time they're in town, and I am always eager to comply. It's slightly overpriced for what you get, but it's ready fast and never disappoints.

I first experienced Irving Pizza down in the TL after seeing a show @ the GAMH. My g-friend and I got a slice and were immediately impressed. Finally a freakin' pizza shop in SF has figured out that REAL pizza has a thin crust and a healthy amount of sauce. DO: Order delivery from their Irving St. location, duh get it. The pie was really good but I do not recommend their salad. Average and the dressing is the Newman's that comes in a ketchup type McD's pouch. Pizza shops in SF I like: Escape from NY on haight st, Victor's on Polk, and Giorgio's on Clement

You're wearing your 70's retro platforms and your "Disco Inferno" t-shirt." You've been workin' the room, dancin' your home-grown "So You Think You Can Dance" steps, feelin' all sexy-like, casting fantastic glances of animal magnetism all over the place. Then with one flick of the light switch reality hits. Clubs closin' and your feeling both drunktastic and hungry enough to eat two Iguana's and your spare tire. Bonus points for accidentally leaving your jacket on the club's floor. You bust out with the crew and head over to Irving Pizza (it's either Nazario's or this place). They've got slices that are as appealing to the inebriated as a multi course meal at Jenty's. I only have one complaint. The last time I was there, the pizza dude touched the slice with his finger when asking which piece we wanted. Don't' need the extra finger flavor. 3 duckets for drunktastic pizza.

If you come here on weekdays from I think 11AM-4PM, there's a lunch special. One slice and soda for $3.75 and Two slices and a soda for $4.90 or so. There's also beer if you want that instead of soda. The pizza here is pretty good if you want a quick slice while in the neighborhood. I've ordered pies from them but it's just not as good as having one slice reheated in the oven. There was one time where they burnt my slice of pizza and gave me an extra one. I didn't even mind the burnt slice! One downside is that the door stays open even on very cold rainy days.

This is my go-to joint for a quick slice in the city. I have no delusions about this being the best pizza out there, but its of reasonable quality, not too expensive, open late, and fairly inviting. I don't have very high expectations for service when I'm ordering pizza by the slice, and as long as I get the slice I ordered, hot, and within 5-10 minutes of placing the order, I'm happy. Similarly, I'm not one of those dolts who would dab the oil off of a slice with a napkin either, and as long as the slice doesn't disintegrate before I can get my mouth around it, I'm generally happy. Irving Pizza has always managed to clear this admittedly low bar. Their best slices are probably the combos, which feature the usual smattering of bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni and sausage. They aren't too shabby at the fundamentals either, like pepperoni and mushroom or just a plain cheese slice. They also have suprisingly good hot wings, which come out with a nice dry crispy crust on them. You don't need a huge pile of napkins to get through a plate of wings here - which might not be a good thing depending on your point of view. Lastly, you can get a pint of beer for less than $3. If you need a quick bite to eat and don't want to spend any more time or money than is absolutely neccessary, Irving Pizza is a good option.

I had the pepperoni slice and it was delicous. There isnt many pizzas that surpise me but this one was really good. Came here after a few shots of liqour and it did the job. I will be back if i crave pizza. Its greasy but thats what the gym is for.

Great for by-the-slice or for a whole pie. But be careful: their slices are generous, so don't make the mistake I made and think you need to have two. One'll do ya. It is thick-crusted greasy pizza joint pizza, served piping hot with lots of cheese, the way pizza should be.

As far as pizza goes it's tasty and cheap; it hit the spot. There is some seating to the side which is good. Well, just because it's fast food I like to sit down to eat my slice sometimes.

If your every on Irving Street and want a sandwich, don't bother with this place. Staff not very attentive, had two orders, one a slice of pizza and another a pizza sandwich, both to go; the cashier had the slice ready in 2 minutes and it sat there for another 25minutes cooling while the sandwich was being prepared. I came in for a qucik lunch to go and spend the entire lunch hour waiting.

Not the greatest or freshest pizza out there, but it's quick, sufficient, and most importantly, available late into the night to complement many a drunken escapade.

When first walking in, I was unsure of the place because it looked somewhat sketchy, but we were starving. We got some pizza by the slice and we were AMAZED. It was so good. I'll definitely go back here if I'm ever over there again.

Everytime I come here I'm either buzzed or tipsy. It's only a block away from chug pug so me and my friends always end up eating here right after. It's almost a ritual that we have to stop by here if we go drinking in this area. They've updated this place quite a bit. There's a nice mural on the wall now and there's actually a sign. I remember going here when there was no sign, there was cracked paint and you can see the drywall. The placed look sketch but now its lost its original experience. I still come here cause the pizza is off the heezy. OMG! The pizza is to die for here...I never have only one. Everytime I say I'm going to have only one I end up getting two possibly three slices. The pizza is different from all the pizza joints I've been to. THe crust is slightly thin but not really. The toppings are good but what always gets me is the crispiness. Everytime you take a bite its soooo good and there's a nice crunch. It's a perfect crisp I've never experienced anywhere else. I can't believe this place has under four stars...maybe its because it doesn't look as nice as other places. The pizza here is hands down the best in the area. I wouldn't go anywhere else. NOTE! Don't park on the other side of the street. YOU MAY END UP WITH A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE TICKET @ 2:00AM! I made the mistake and now I'm kicking myself cause I could've purchased over 12 slices of pizza with that $$. Pizza 5 stars - tasty with a perfect crispy Service 4 stars - they just take your order and hand you the pizza not much else Ambiance 3 stars - its lost its old look so i'm a little dissapointed

After a week living out of a hotel room, eating crappy bland food from chain restaurants, sitting on the runway for an hour right as an amuse bouche to a six hour flight, then having the airline lose (oh, I mean "mis-route") my luggage and having to be trapped in the glass cube that was the Virgin America luggage office with a one year old in a loaded diaper, Irving Pizza sure hit the spot. Did I care that I had to dump approximately 2 tablespoons of oil off it? No, because I was finally finally home in San Francisco, where we saw a nipple at the adjacent table and the guardian open to the back pages on our table. Home sweet home at last. Grease never tasted so good!

hmmmm...what to eat for lunch today? pizza or kfc? i think i'll go eat pizza. but i wish i went to kfc instead... i only come here when i'm hungry, broke, and craving for pizza. they have a pretty good lunch special. 1 slice of pizza and medium soda for $3.75. as i'm waiting for my pizza, i noticed one of the workers picking at his teeth. i was sOoOo DISGUSTEDt! i've heard stories of workers picking their nose in the back....(damn, should have listened) but this motherfucker was in the FRONT, by the REGISTER and picking at his fucking teeth with a toothpick!! dude, i even saw him stick a finger in his mouth! omg that shit was hella nasty! he even saw me looking at him and continued to pick at his teeth! that nasty little fuck didnt even wash his hands right after! he just went about making pizza boxes with his grimey ass fingers! yuck! thank god he didnt serve me my pizza. otherwise, i would asked for another one. shiiiiiiet. i dont think i'll be going back here anytime soon.. i should have listened when i was first warned. but their pizza is actually so-so.

I've never actually been to this establishment, rather they always come to me. Being out in the Sunset is depressing enough and the lack of food options can make you feel isolated (I should add that I am not a big fan of Asian food and thus am biased againist it ... it always sits in me like a stone and destroys my ability to move). Irving Pizza is not cheap, but they make up for this in quality of ingredients (especially the Green pizza if you too are dating a vegetarian) and getting just the right amount of grease. With a beer in hand and a bottle of Tapatio ... a Friday night in has never been so satisfying. Another plus is that the delivery guys are chill (and usually stoned) and when I got an incorrect order; it was rectified quickly and with no acuisations.

The party don't stop till the pizza drops....or something like that. Any pizza place that can taste as awesome as it does sober as it does at 3am on a sunday morning, deserves this kind of 5 happy stars. While late night eating in SF typically means one of three things- drunk pizza (usually crappy), Mel's (with a major line), and if you're lucky, burritos .... but Irving st rises above the mediocrity set by most late night pizzas and its toppings, crust, cheese and sauce form a perfect symphony of taste- and life-saving alcohol absorbtion in your time of need. But nowt they serve breakfast too...hmmmm

This is the palce to be when you want cheap eats and something that fills ya up. Go get thier lunch menu special during certain hours. I think its everyday from 12:PM to 4:00 PM. Thats 2 any kind of pizza with a med soda (which is really an extra large) for only $5.75. This is the perfect lunch when you drank the night before or just craving some grease. They are also opened very late on weekends, which is a plus. Lot of young drunks/ high kids comes here, including myself. Late night munchies here always hits the spot. The heat up your pizza and its nice and hot for you to enjoy. Go jump on their special business card. Buy 6 pizzas, get the 7th free plus a free drink. Great to us after spending $100 at bars.

Nice little NY Pizza joint & they sell by the slice, so that's always a plus. I had 3 slices my first time here...just to give you an idea on what I thought about it. It's got some "hometown" decor to it, not sure how long it's been around but it looks like it's got it's 'locals'. You also gotta love how it's open late night! I read some people's reviews about it being greasy or floppy crusted...umm, yeah, that's what New York style pizza is. Just fyi.

Open late, which is a plus, but the pizza just wasn't super satisfying to me, perhaps on account of the crust being a bit too thin. I still prefer Seniore's.

I used to get deliveries fairly often from here but the last time was about 6 months ago. They delivered two hours after I ordered, which was pretty bad but I didn't grumble too much until I opened it and found my pizza to be ice cold. I called them to ask about refund / replacement and basically what they told me was - the driver got stuck in traffic / tough luck. I have'nt gone back since

Consistently good and reasonably priced pizza. Pizza these days has become too overcrowded with toppings and you can't make heads from tails. Irving has a perfect balance. It's not melt in your mouth orgasmic good, but it's not a bad back-up and it's right down the street from my stomping pad. Will be back for more!

It's my neighborhood pizza place and I love it. The folks who work here are chill. I always ask for "light cheese," which means about half the amount of cheese (not skim milk cheese as it might seem). Otherwise they put a quarter-inch think layer of the stuff on the pizza which is too much for me. But with light cheese, it's easier to appreciate the great flavor of the sauce and crust.

Dessa R.
Yes yes yes....juicy huge slice pieces of PIZZA!! Omg i love coming here after a few drinks....or no drinks at all! Their pizza is sooooooooooo good....flavorful & they are generous w/ their slices! My favorite slices are the pesto cheese & regular cheese & peperoni & the veggie.....and the ranch is on point....perfect ting....not to tangy or ligh and it comes w/ the pizza free is you ask for it!! Try to get here before all the bars close....about either by 130p or after 2a. Gota come here!!

Mmm, beer and slices late night in the Sunset. Bless you, Irving Pizza! You never even look at me funny when I order a pitcher of beer and I'm obviously by myself. The pizza's not the best, and neither are the sandwiches. The beer is delicious, and the hours are right. Plus they have a TV that often shows the Giants' game. F*ck it. Five stars. I can only assume parking's a bitch if you come while the city's not asleep.

Food: I usually order he chicken parmigiana sandwich which is not bad. The fries that it comes with a nice and crispy. Pizza here is okay but I just like coming here for that sandwich. Price: Pretty cheap Service: Alright Location: Right on Irving near that pho place Atmosphere: Not the cleanest but okay. I always get my food to go.

Order from Seniore's or Pasquales instead. The pizza here is ok but the customer service and delivery are awful. While waiting for my delivery I was told "10 more minutes" at least 5 times. The pizza never came and then they lied about calling me. When I called them the final time they were incredibly rude and unapologetic. Do not waste your time for a mediocre pizza that may never get delivered.

If you haven't had a bite of food for over seven hours this pizza really hits the spot. That was pretty much my situation when I decided to try Irving Pizza. Large slices with sort of thin crust that needs to be baked just a bit longer. I had two slices during my visit, and the crust on both were barely cooked, white and doughy. Lots of veggies on my combo, but unfortunately they use sausage pellets here also. The combo was unusually greasy too. Do sausage pellets really emit that much grease? Three napkins couldn't soak up all the grease on the pepperoni slice. If my belly weren't grumbling so loud I would have snacked elsewhere, but in a pinch Irving Pizza was edible and served its purpose. It's definitely not the worst pizza I've tried. Table tops full of crumbs and pizza particles. I guess they don't wipe off the tables here, but it seems like there is a week's worth of crumbs and food parts on the floor too so maybe everything is just wiped onto the floor. The counter service was good, but not at all friendly.

Shameful. Cannot believe New York pizza is in anyway used to describe this style of pizza. The crust is terrible. Tastes like Chucky Cheese pizza. Get a Tombstone, you'll be much happier.

I don't know why rude/mean people take jobs in the service industry....their job relies on tips, and tips rely on being nice to the customer....so what the hell Irving Pizza??? Service with a frown, grumpy dudes working there, fuck them!!! I tried ordering wine once and had to wait 20 minutes and eventually got a refund....because the wine never came.... The pizza? gross....overcooked....nasssty. no thanks!!!

Simple name, simple pizza. Irving Pizza knows how to hit the spot when all you're craving is a basic, consistent pizza. The pizza here isn't out of this world, but it's still pretty freaking good. And for the price, you get a good New York size slice. I got the Combo Pizza and the Sausage Pizza. Like I said, Irving pizza is pretty predictable in its taste, so you know what you're going to get. Both pizzas tasted like what you would get at a standard pizza joint in NYC: delicious reheated cheese, solid toppings, and filling bread. And just like in NYC, all their pizzas are on display and are served quickly by simply putting it in the oven again. I like to see the grumpy service as an ode to NYC. Some people will say that this place isn't good quality pizza, but for the price, quick service, and late-night hours, it's definitely a winner. GET: Combo Pizza

Sylvia Y.
My review is solely based on late night, post 2am drunk pizza/fries/wings combo that my girlfriends and i religiously came straight from the bar/club to sober up. Would I come to Irving pizza during lunch, or dinner? Probably not. There are plenty of amazing eateries in San Francisco. However, after the last call, struggling to get out of the bar/club, get in the car, find ANYTHING that is open at 2 something to 1. use the bathroom, 2. get some food, 3. bring it home to catch up on how idiotic we were,... this place brings sooo many memories. Thanks for letting us use the bathroom, order by the slice, and give us extra ranch for our crispy and salty wings, letting us sober up, and giving us so many great memories of our early 20's. There is an ATM machine on the corner for you to get some cash. tip them well. They're the very few that stays open for the drunktards.

After when, I had left King Won Ton & Noodle I was still very hungry... I guess that the Won Ton & Dumpling Soup from King Won Ton & Noodle did not fill me up... So then, I had a craving for a pizza slice and so I was looking around the Irving street area for a pizza place that sells a pizza by a slice... As I looked around then I stumbled into Irving Pizza so then when I walked inside and saw a big pepperoni pizza slice so I had asked for that pepperoni pizza slice to eat inside... After reading alot of yelp reviews there were alot yelpers who had said that this pizza place sucks... But not me Irving Pizza, this pizza place wasnt that bad at all after when, I ate up the pepperoni pizza slice... I did not find anything wrong with this pepperoni pizza slice from Irving Pizza if you are hungry and if want to eat a pizza slice dont listen to any yelpers out there who said alot of dumb and ridiculous remarks about the Irving Pizza... Just go out there and have fun with a pizza slice that you really like to eat!!!

Keisha S.
Wow the food here is great. It is open late so after a night of parting this is one of the better places to eat. They have these things called Gyros and their fries are the best since I lived in Philly. Their pizza is pretty good by the slice. The Fish and chips are what most of my friends order and they love it. As noted earlier my love is with the Gyros and fries. Again parking can be a pain in this neighborhood during the evening but after 1am its usually fine. I think this place is open to 2 or 3am.

Tom K.
When we first started eating here and having food delivered it was really good. The food still is. The service really needs some attention. We mostly have food delivered now and out of the last 5 times they messed up the order 3 times. Wrong toppings on pizzas, forgetting part of an order, wrong size pizza, etc. It's really frustrating when you get the food and realize they forgot your fries or they sent one pizza rather than the two you ordered. Then when you call them back they NEVER apologize for it. They almost seem angry that you'd have the nerve to call and want the rest of your order. Really bad attitude. We've moved to Taraval Pizza.

2AM weeknights, 3AM Weekends. Can't beat that if yer in Inner Sunset. Slices are pre-made into pies, then re-warmed in their sub-oven. Veggie and Mushroom/Pepperoni are my favorites. Medium crust, pleanty of cheese/herbs/pepper post toppings available. 1 Slice under $4. Not bad. I haven't tried anything from the non-pizza menu, but the pizza is good for late night/order in action in Inner Sunset. The pesto is good!

Pretty good pizza that is nice and greasy if that's what you're craving. Street parking is not the best so we always ask for delivery. It does take 45min so don't expect crazy fast delivery unless it's a small pizza. That does happen sometimes. Delivery results are hit or miss..sometimes the bottom middle of the pizza is soggy.. but this place sure beats Dominos. They're not the most friendly on the phone and sometimes I'm put on hold and it's a new person who doesn't know the dude who took my order is. That's a bit annoying. Like most pizza places these days, they keep your info on file so that's kind of convenient. But during peak hours, I had someone rush through my order and hang up on me when I wasn't even done ordering... what the.. Open late which around this area, is a nice find. But I'd go for delivery if you're looking for a late bite. In 2008, a guy who was treating his co-workers to a celebratory meal was hassled and shot by a random customer. Scary. Pretty solid pizza overall and on the greasier side so when I want a lighter veggie pizza for example, I'll order from Seniore's on 19th/Taraval.

Good place to come for late night pizza. Ordering to go would be a tip because the place is kind of messy and a good amount of people. It's better to enjoy the pizza with some drinks at the comfort of your own place.

This is tough because I've actually gotten delicious pizza here. More than once. However, there have been times that I've gotten pizza here and the crust is too doughy. Also, they shouldn't call it NY style. I haven't even had pizza from NY and I know that this is isn't it. It's just like any other cheap pizza, minus the cheap. Pizza is generally good, but the service is always lacking. It's dirty and the blonde w/ the accent is AWFUL every time I go! This time I asked for 2 slices of pizza to go (because there are 2 of us) and she put them on plates to eat there and when I asked her for boxes she did a few other things first while I waited at the counter (near the register) for my pizza. She threw both slices in one box (w/ the plate that was just on top of the dirty counter right on top my my slice of cheese) and back on the opposite side of the counter (near the door) instead of giving them back to me. It was gross and rude.

Stephen F.
Only tried the pre-made slices. So my review is based on that only. I've eaten a lot of pizza. Who hasn't? This is better than some, but NOT better than most. It's smells great from the sidewalk, but it just doesn't live up to the hype. Maybe the made to order is better? If I get a chance to try it another time, and it's better--I will change my review. Now, to be fair: there aren't any other pizza places to choose from in the neighborhood, much less one that opens late and sells it by the slice. So they get points for that. If you're near Polk and Broadway, it's all about Escape from New York Pizza! Sorry Irving Pizza.

The BEST pizza in San Francisco! Big greasy delicious New York style pizzas by the slice with cheese so thick you choke on it when you bite into it. There are 5+ different pizzas there for your choosing: Cheese, Cheese and Pesto, Combination, (and other pizzas with meat that I don't pay attention to). You may want to blot your pizza before eating it unless you don't mind grease dripping down your hands. A must try: They have a sandwich on the menu called the 'No Hangover Philly' which is a Philly stuffed with peppers and spices that. I'm not a drinker, but felt that it deserved mention for those heavy drinkers looking for a cure. Definitely a sandwich that one must put to the test! They're also open late on the weekends to satisfy that late night craving.

David D.
Where else can you get a slice of pizza in the city at 3am? Yeah the pizza isn't that great, but who cares-its open till 3am!!!!!!!! And if your eating pizza that late, odds are you aren't expecting top quality pizza- odds are your intoxicated and a slice of greasy pizza sounds good. Would I come here at 7pm for pizza? Hell no! Would I come here at 2am cause its the only pizza joint open that late? Sure! 2 stars for being open late 1 star for the quality of the pizza

I only live like 5 minutes away. I was just too lazy to get my ass into the car. When I got their delivery, it was cold...I mean I don't know what happened. Their pizzas are usually very good. I used to come here during my lunch break in high school. It's such a disappointment to see such great pizza go down the wrong way.

Bart F.
Open-late. Ate here after leaving my first UYE which I have aptly renamed, "Organized Chaos." Walked into the joint and thought that I entered the confines of my own kitchen -- bare white walls are wrapped around a rectangular room with tables running along one side and pizza oven's and glass displays running the length of the other. Ordered 3 slices of pizza: 2 sausage & mushroom and 1 combo. Crust was delicious -- thick and crunchy -- perfect for satisfying an extreme case of shameful drunchies. Cheese pulled nicely away from its origin..[which is a firm-tell that said cheese is of high quality]. The toppings integrated well with the other characteristics which made for a pleasant late-night meal. Very convenient and accommodating. Would consider this place a routine eatery if I lived in the neighborhood.

Great late-nite NY-style pizza. This was one of my favorite places to grab a slice. I used to live a block away from the place. They got some great, large, thin-crust pizzas here. The pizza has this great indescribable spice. It has hints of flavors of those slices that I miss from the East Coast. They are also open late, and they serve pitchers of beer. The staff is very friendly, and laid back. There have been more than a few times that they kept the place open a little longer to let us finish our beer. Stand-up pizza place: great for a late-nite venture.

more like 3.5 whenever i come to this place it happens to be late out.. i'm on way home after a night out.. my friends and i are hungry and we usually stop by this place for a slice or more. i've only had their pizza, which is pretty good, so i'm not so sure about the rest of their menu.. this place is great to grab a quick bite and opens late on weekends so be sure to check this place out the next time you're around the area

This place is open late- love it!!! Order any special combo pizza slice you like ( I always get pepperoni and pineapple) and they throw it in the oven n top it off with more mozzarella. Can you say yum-o!! More melted cheesy goodness please!! The guys that work there are all chill and some even kinda cute too.. (ahhh hope my BF doesn't see this :D)they have this New York bad ass appeal to them. Eat in, sit back on their comfy chairs, watch TV and eat some deeelish pizza. They serve other items than just pizza too if your in the mood. Beer selections limited but if they don't have what you like there is a liqz two doors down. So go and grab your 40's lol! Cheers!

It's pizza...What more can I say? Well, if the dough isn't all that great, then you could screw the whole thing up. I'm glad to say that Irving Pizza has been consistent so far. I've checked out their menu and they have quite a bit of topping combinations that are interesting to give a shot. Price is pretty standard for a slice. Overall, it's a good place to sit and eat. If you're driving, be prepared to look for parking. Especially during the busy meal hours since you'll be competiting with other patrons going to the neighboring restaurants and bars.

My 5-year-old son, normally composed, threw a tantrum the other night when I promised him to have Irving Pizza. They had electrical problem, so didn't have pizza. My kids love Irving Pizza. My son cried so hard that the storeowner promised him free pizza if we went back the next day. I have to say it is the BEST so far in the City. After having pizza in Brooklyn, NY, Irving Pizza is the one that comes closest to a genuine piece of NY pizza!!

You know how sometimes you're watching TV - just some random show. In this instance, it was 30 Rock. So I was watching 30 Rock, and they were eating pizza. A huge slice of good-old-plain NY-style cheese pizza. And I went... MMMMM... CHEESE PIZZA. The craving hit me. The problem is that I am lazy. Obviously, if I am home on the couch watching old episodes of 30 Rock craving pizza, I'm not what you call, 'upwardly mobile' (..in the literal sense). And the other problem is that I live in the richmond. Not a lot of pizza options. So it had to be delivery. So onto yelp, I found Irving Pizza. MAN! I spent my weekly bad-food allowance on this? Man! I wasted it. Crust was too thick. Not enough sauce. Cheese tasted like nothing. And that's not good, especially when it's a CHEESE pizza. I had to load it up with pepper flakes and parmesan for it to even taste like anything. Oh well... I'd like to say lesson learned. I'd like to say, next time I will get my ass up and go somewhere, where I am sure their pizza is good even if they don't have delivery like giorgio's or something. But probably, I will just stay on the couch.

Ok, I'm not going to lie; this pizza from Irving Street Pizza was delicious when I ordered it at 2:30 am while trying to sober up from a long night of debauchery and drunkenness. Why am I writing this as a disclaimer? It's because you know that when you are super drunk, ANYTHING tastes good! Therefore, take this review with a "grain of salt." There are only a few places that deliver (or even open) at 2:30 am on a Friday night (Saturday morning). Just for that, they get 3 stars! I had a large group of drunken people headed to my place after a night at the bar and I knew I should order some food to help them sober up. What's better than greasy pizza, right? I ordered 2 XL pepperoni pizzas and to my surprise, they came in about 45 minutes. AWESOME! Fat tip for the delivery driver! The pizza tasted so good! I'm sure it wasn't the drunken mindset I had which favored the greasy treat. All my friends were commenting on how it was so delicious. Therefore, I truly would like to say, Irving Street Pizza makes great pizzas no matter how intoxicated you are. They pound on the cheese and they don't skimp out on the pepperoni. Ok, I just reviewed my grammar on this posting and this makes me sound like such a lush! Oh well, for those who know me know that I don't drink that much, maybe 6 days out of 7 of the week. KIDDING!!!

Irving Pizza is absolutely fantastic. The guys are great, the location is nice, and the food never disappoints!! Also, I'm a HUGE fan of the PRICES!!! They have a lunch special with a slice and a drink for something ridiculous (around $3)!! And the guys working are usually really cool and from time to time I've had them throw in an extra slice just to be nice. I usually eat the pizza (pretty good when fresh), the GARLIC FRIES (amazing always though they take a little bit of time because they're made to order) and I've had a sandwich or two (they're good, but I usually go for the pizza!) Definitely worth your while. ALSO a very cool Jessia T. reminded me how AWESOME the HOURS are!!! I think its Sun-Thur open until 2 am Fri-Sat open until 3 AM!!!! PIZZA ALL DUH TIME

this place has the best pizza in sunset, no joke. their pizza is delicious and i love how the crust and the bottom of the pizza is so crunchy. the guys who work there are really cool and very friendly. always hitting up this spot when my buddies and i got the munchies!

Two issues prevent me from rating this place higher than three stars: 1) The tables are almost never wiped down and and the overall level cleanliness is pretty low, and 2) their crust is a little too doughy. That being said, it's a great place to sit down with a pitcher, a slice and watch a game.

I don't come here often for one reason alone: the overwhelming smell of the place. C'mon, air it out a bit. You'll walk out of this place feeling assaulted by greasy kitchen exhaust and will need to dry clean your clothes to get rid of the cheesy smell. But OK, their whole cut potato fries are pretty awesome.

I've been there a couple of times - the place is pretty big, I like the painting of the wall - rather authentic. There's wide range of beers, including Arrogant Bastard which is 7$ per pint. The delivery guys are good - never had any problems. And they have a coupon for medium pizza + soda + salad = 23$, good deal!

I mainly question the cleanliness of this place. I've been here four times and each time, without fail, their pizza has given me a tummy ache. :( I know, I know...you're probably thinking, "why the hell did you eat their four frickin' times???" Well, I dunno....call me an optimist...I like to give chances.... I'm not quick to judge...or maybe I'm just stupid. This place is located a block away from my ex-boyfriend's place, and he and his friends loved the place, and they didn't get tummy aches. But then again, they are bachelors who regularly eat unsanitary foods.... Anyway, there are other flaws with this place. 1. I have observed them handle money and serve pizza, switching back-and-forth, without washing their hands. 2. Once I ordered a salad with my pizza and they completely forgot. Another time, they forgot our drinks. 3. This place often operates with their double doors wide open, so the place is infested with buzzing flies. 4. Once they delivered 2 hours after we ordered! 5. There is absolutely no parking available. Unless you're starving and your only option is Irving pizza, I would stay far away. If you do eat here, make sure a toilet is nearby....

Oh yes.... I ALWAYS order whole pizza pies from Irving street Pizza when I'm in the city and I'm in the mood for pizza. Though, if you are in the mood for a late night "snack" filled with yummy goodness after a late night of drinking then I'd recommend individual slices. I think they are also open suuuuper late... so it's perfect for the late night-ers. If you are getting a whole pie, I'd recommend the combo - everything on there is super fresh and complimentary in your mouth. It's amazing. It's not over cheesed, unlike the hawaiian, but super tasty. Delivery was great as well when I lived in the city. On time, never late and free. Love the free delivery within SF.

before you read any further, this review is just for the pepperoni pizza. it is my second favorite, Blondie's being the first. my husband & I usually order a whole medium pizza for the two of us to devour at home. we were never disappointed; pizza was always delicious & fulfilling. we usually have 3 slices of leftover, and it's still good after you warm it up in the microwave the next day, even better if warmed in the oven. as for the location & service: well, let's just say you get what you pay for!

Why do I go out and booze like a champ on an empty stomach? Becasue the bar tab is less, DUH! Well, due to me being a cheap drunk, I had to get something in my belly so I wouldn't puke up all my whiskey. I saw Irving Pizza after exiting Whiskey Thieves and decided with my intoxicated brain that this place couldn't be too bad. I was WRONG! Thick cardboard crust covered in greasy cheese and rubbery pepperoni. And boy oh boy, did I wake up with the stomach cramps only the devil himself could inflict upon a pizza sinner. Yes, I sinned for purchasing and consuming cheap nasty pizza on a Friday night. I vow to never again make this mistake! Please forgive me tummy......

Solid! I used to live in the inner sunset and I only went here once late night. We were on our way to an event in the SF and needed something quick and easy, so we ended up at Irving Pizza. We got three slices total: - a cheese slice, once I added the toppings it was AMAZING -a pesto slice, very good -a mixed veg slice which I didn't get to try but my BF said it was good All pizza was hot, fresh, and way more food than we had anticipated. You would be smart to pace yourself! They also have 8 or 9 beers on tap and they are way above and beyond the quality I would have expected at a dive pizza joint (Sierra Nevada, Great White from Lost Cost, stuff like that) this is as good as it gets for fast pizza in the Sunset, it's better than Milano on 9th (and Pascual's for that matter). Everyone on staff speaks Spanish which is pretty funny because...you are at a NY style pizza place in San Francisco and when you look out the front door all of the signs of neighboring buildings are in Chinese. It's like an alternate universe in there. Service was all smiles and they let me use their bathroom, which I had to walk all the way through the kitchen to get into. So I can say the kitchen is pretty clean. The bathroom was way cleaner than I thought it would be, too- I've certainly seen worse. If you live in the Sunset or you're hanging in the park- you should go here!

Awful pizza! Can't imagine why anyone would like this, unless they have never had good pizza. It's overly greasy/oily and lacks the crunch a real pizza oven would create.

I've been eating at Irving Pizza for years and you should be also 1. they dont charge for ranch 2. they give soda refills 3. always have hot and fresh pies/slices ready for you the only problem is that parking in the area kinda sucks ... some of the best consistent pizza in the san francisco its the only pizza I eat ... Hawaiian is my thang ... and its cheap .. the lunch special is everyday from noon to 4pm... check it out ... its worth it

This place serves you up a nice pallet of a pizza. I was visiting from L.A and wanted a local taste of the neighborhood pizza. Hungry and with friends and family we called in and ordered one of their specials. Shaped it with brooklyn style thin crust , and Bam!, 40min later this awesome nicely cooked and crispy pizza was steaming at our front door. soooo good. I will definitely look em up again when im in the area.

Pizza was a bit too doughy for my liking. Also a but burnt when it was being reheated. Place seem ok clean, well at least for my mini table. Taste, well, nothing spectacular. I am just being generous to them so i give it a 3 star.

Service will always trump decent food. Awful awful service. Extremely rude and would not give me a pizza that had already been paid for because I left my ID at home. Ridiculous. Was humiliated over a minor detail. Glad they're ok with wasting food.

like everyone else has said they deliver until 3am. woo-hoo. greasy pizza is the best hangover prevention (better than tylenol) however, if i was on the upper east coast the 3am delivery wouldn't mean crap.....just saying.....you guys are missing out on 4am bar time and a ton of 24hr diners anyway, their sandwiches aren't bad and i really like their large salads. they all have those banana pepper thingys that i like. yay!

I have been on a long and arduous quest to find decent pizza in SF, let alone the Sunset. I do believe my quest is over! Super yummy pizza by the slice. Try the veggie, you wont regret it! I just wish they delivered to 48th Ave! Its really no that far!

Wooooo great pizza! Uber tasty and the slices were good sized. You can just hop in if you want a quick lunch or snack. There's not too much to say about Irving Pizza besides the fact the pizza tastes great. Nuff said.

Irving Pizza, you've been there for me from the very beginning and through two address changes, through the good and the bad (we're sorry we gave you the old address three years ago, forgive me?), and you guys never let me down. I've tried the other pizza delivery places in the area, and I won't name names, and I must say I can't find a better place. Your crust is better, and so is the sauce. Sometimes you're a little heavy on the cheese, but we live with it. Your coupon deals are the best in town--don't ever change them!--and even though your buffalo wings have no buffalo hot sauce on them, they're still awesome. When I drop in to grab a slice, I see familiar faces and I know I'm gonna get some good pizza.

Jake C.
the pizza is pretty good and not too expensive. plus open late with lots of options for slices. a good spot to have close to home. problems: chicken wings are the worst i have ever had in my entire life!!! they are basically skin and bones, over cooked, and expensive. and the 2 girls that work there are very rude. they make it super easy to not tip at all because they seem to forget that they arnt super models but instead work at a PIZZA PARLOR!!!! they need to be fired.

The medium pizza + salad + 2-liter Soda for under 20 bucks is what my fiance and I live off on cold friday nights. The pizza is really good when you get it delivered. I've had slices in the store twice, and both times it was seriously gross. Amazing, I know. I wonder if I put a slice in the car and drove it around for 20 minutes if it would taste any better. Science!
(4)
Denise C.
Nice pizza place to walk by near 19th and Irving. I like their pizza and options, esp. Hawaiian. The have a nice menu with sandwiches, fish and chips, and salads. Prices are okay, but the pizza by slice is actually not that cheap anymore.

Kristina C.
SF Food Inspection Score: 88 This place has a special spot in my heart. I have been going here since I was a little kid. Seriously, like 1990. Let me take you on a trip down memory lane.... This was a hot spot for middle school kids and they would come and play Street Fighter, Indiana Jones Pin Ball, and my personal fave, Bust-A-Move. The slices were a $1-$2 and you could get a soda for .50 cents. Then you could watch MTV's The Grind before you had to go to Karate lessons down the street. I thought it was the coolest place in town. Now, as I have gotten older, so has Irving Pizza. No longer a safe haven for kids to hang out, it's sort of become this late night hang out. Maybe it was back in the day, but it definitely has a different feel to it. Beers on tap served in pint glasses, less tables to invite guests to stay, waaaaay more food on the menu, and the menu itself is that snazzy chalk art you see at crepe places. But that's not to say that this place has declined in any way. The pizza is still pretty tasty, not the best, but good. They have an awesome variety of food like sandwiches (which are basically pizza sandwiches), salads, samplers, and I think even pastas! The service/delivery is prompt and accurate. And even if I'm ordering just a small meal, they'll still make the drive up to my spot even though I can just pick it up myself. I will always love this place. Not for the ambiance, the service, or even the food. I love this place because of all the memories I had and will have here. Thank you Irving Pizza!

Irving Pizza is descent. They're nice when you go into the place and order but sometimes over the phone when you order they can be rude. its not the best pizza your ever going to eat but, its GREAT when you have the munchies.

2 star pizza in the daytime...there are better places to visit. 4 star pizza late night after binging on drinks...thin, crisp, hot, convenient and fast! They're basically my late night "booty call" for my stomach.

dan s.
I've been here a few times, usually very late at night. The pizza is pretty OK (remember, I have NY standards!), I recommend the "combo". It's nice to be able to get a pint of Sierra for under $3 with your slice too. Since the pizza was decent, I decided to try their chicken parmesan sandwich. I got back a blackened, charred patty in overtoasted bread with a bad impression of pizza sauce. I ate it anyway, but I regret that decision.

This is not super special or flavorful . I came to try just because it's close to home and it seems to have quite a flow of people. There are few tables. Um

Need a pizza fix when you've just walked 7 miles in 6 inch platform boots? Apparently this is the place! I have pictures from inside this joint...I know I tasted good pizza, even if it was only a bite. Most important was the fact that they had bathrooms....the half pint of vodka I had drank over the few hours prior to arriving was finally activating my bladder. Ehm, I'd definitely recommend...and I'll go back so I can try and remember how good the pizza actually was!

Jeff J.
High marks because they have delicious, thin pesto slices offered at $3.25. Enjoy a beer and the crispy crust in a convivial atmosphere. Only blemish is someday's the pizza is better than others, they're still one of the best in the city.

I work a swing shift over in Haight. I ordered from Irving because i have a terminal case of Middle America palate, and the spicy Thai or Indian does me no good.. I'm not in the mood for pizza so i call in a sandwich on a french roll, fries, and i get the cheescake cuz there's a minimum order.. it takes an hour to reach me, the guy takes my food OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK, so the food is totally cold, and they got my order wrong. By the time the food gets to me i've only got 15 min left at work anyway... just enough time to give Irving Sunset one star. If i could give less, i would. Why can't you guys be as good as Irving Geary???
(1)
Aric W.
I think this is the place. Great slice, the guy was not super friendly, but i don't care. Slice gave me gas. Seriously good piece of pizza. I almost gave it 4 stars, but i cant really think of a better slice off hand so it's 5 stars for what it is.

Jen K.
I've never eaten here but I have had delivery quite a few times. Its not the best pizza in the world, but I've never had any issues with it. Its very greasy, so I mop it up with a paper towel, but this place is cheap. Its a $10 minimum on Grubhub and free delivery, hence it's appeal. I'm no pizza connoisseur, so for me it's just fine. Its fast delivery on those night you don't want to cook. I'm actually a big fan of their Irish pizza. Give it a try!

I have been ordering from Irving Pizza since I have moved to the city over 2 years ago and their pizza has been consistently delicious. The pizzas are great, the crust has a slight, crispy outer layer with soft inner, just as crust should be and I have never had any issues with the intensity of their spices or flavors. They are always right on. I also really love their sandwiches. The chicken pesto is by far my favorite, along with the chicken parmigiana. Jalepeno poppers??? Yum! Cheese sticks?? Super yum! I mean it's fried cheese! Kind of hard to mess that up! They also deliver late every night of the week - till 2am M-F and till 3am Sat and Sun. Great when you're having the late night munchies, and I mean that in a completely drug-free way. My only complaint is that they skimp on their toppings. I ordered the Irish special that, strangely, comes with corn. Sounds weird, I know, but it was really good. Corn goes well with ham! Any who, they literally just sprinkled it on. The corn was unevenly scattered, which left a piece that had maybe about 4 small kernels. They also hold back on the pizzas that come with feta cheese. Again, just a sprinkle of it and nothing more. Other than that, they continue to be my favorite place to get pizza in the city. Sure there are places that have crazy, gourmet style pizza's with toppings and ingredients I can't quite pronounce, but Irving keeps it simple and tasty and I love them!

We order either a small or medium whole pizza, not by the slice. They've delivered to our home in less than 45 minutes. Out of the numerous times we've ordered from there, there has only been 1 mistake and another pizza was sent.

Edgar G.
I love going down to Irving to pick up a slice of pizza late at night. Irving Pizza has some great selections, but I usually get the combo and pepperoni. The people there are pretty friendly, but it takes a few minutes for the pizza to pre-heat.

This is the closest pizza place to me. They will even deliver to my place for free. One might think that would be enough for 3 stars, but it isn't. I will get in my car and drive somewhere else even when I really don't want to leave the house and NEED pizza right now. The pizza here just isn't that good. Not as bad as Pizza Orgasmica, but still pretty crappy. Better yet, I'll go with frozen pizza over this place.

Kristina S.
What happened to this place. I've been coming here for about 8 years. I'm a rare pizza eater. Each year the food get worse and worse. Now I just don't even have and urge for pizza. Its cheap and all but I myself am not a pizza person it has to be really good for me to like it. And this place is not one of those places.
(2)
Mike A.
You know that feeling you get where you have to keep running to the toilet even though theres nothing left to come out? yeah I had that feeling the whole day after the night I ate here. Throw in a double shift at work and you have one very bad day. 2 stars for the staff who were extremely cool.

Kai T.
I first order from here because they deliver quite late every night but especially on weekends. They also used to have a gyro pizza (something like that) that was good but I haven't seen it on the new menu that was stuck in the door recently. I have a hard time with processed tomato acid, so the gyro pizza worked out great and had a "different" taste (little bits of gyro meat in a cream sauce, etc.). And they also offer fried shrimp, scallops and fish for our vegetarian. By and large, I don't like the pizzas in San Francisco (I'm used to Chicago pizza which I grew up on, and NYC pizza from my misspent youth) but I liked the gyro pizza--wonder where it went and if I can get the guys to make me one every now and then. It's a pizza place that's open late--and isn't a large franchise chain. In other words, it could be worse.

Jason J.
at $3.50 a slice, it's typical of what you'd expect, but i thought this beat out most average pizza joints. the slices are a tad larger than most, and pretty good. the combo pizza they definitely packed the sausage on, so they're not shafting you there. the hawaiian, they dump on the pineapples. if you like a crispier crust, ask for it "well done". i'd definitely come back here. there is zero ambiance, but hey, it's pizza. take it to go, and go across the street to underdogs and watch the game! and unlike most joints, their "frequent buyer" needs only 6 slices to get a free one. seriously thats 50% less than most!

Natacha M.
When your on your way home from a night of parlayin this pizza is not bad at all. It was like 2:30 in the morning and one of the only places open on our way back to my friend's house so we stopped to get to a few slices 1 cheese and the other veggie and it sopped up those jack & cokes pretty well.
(3)
Ryan M.
Yummy! Their pizza is so good. I don't order anything else there. I ordered a sandwich once and didn't think much of it. If you stick to the pizza, you can't go wrong. My favorite pizza is the Irish pizza. There's not really anything Irish about it, but that's ok....it's still good. Unfortunately, it's only available as a whole pizza vs by the slice. The pizza has ham, grilled chicken, sweet corn, & green bell peppers. I do tweak it a little bit. I replace the bell peppers with mushrooms. Oh yeah, they do have good mozzarella sticks with really good marinara sauce.

It took them well over an hour to deliver on a 30-45 minute estimate and the driver TOOK OUR MONEY & RAN/PEELED OUT without asking if we needed change while we were waiting in the doorway for it. We were intending to tip him well, but after that we called his manager & requested he bring the change back. His manager said he would call him & demand his return. He never showed back up. BTW the ground beef in my burger was grade Q died red garbage. The wings were decent.

ever since they open a breakfast menu, i think their pizza went down a notch. but Irving Pizza is still a nice alternative from Seniore's and all the drunk people that hangs out there too.

its always open when i need a slice of pizza. its consistent. they did just get a new TV though so you can watch all the sports games that are showing. nothing special bout this pizza but its descent and does its job. they make the pizza pre-made and then crisp it up. you are basically in and out of there in about 10 minutes. descent pricing about 4 bucks ish. nothing else in the area that really gives you pizza.

Excellent pizza and fairly quick delivery EVERY time I've ordered from them! DELICIOUS pizza....rave reviews from plenty of people(at parties and such)! Irving St. Pizza does a great job with their toppings...After picking out the only three items that 2 friends and I could decide on, red onions, artichoke hearts, and sausage, we ordered, and not more than a half hour goes by, we get our mouthwateringly delicious pie! Compared to Orgasmica, this place wins hands down...cheaper and wayyyyyy tastier!

Justin O.
Like Seniore's I've been going here since high school. I've spent many a drunk nights stumbling over from golden gate park and getting a slice a pizza. Then I realized when I was sober - this Pizza sucks. Hella Greasy!! I do like it better than Seniores because its not as crowded, they have free ranch sauce and the guys that own the liquor down the street are my boys, but other than that 2 Stars is all they get.

Went here with a group of friends and the atmosphere was pretty welcoming. ordered the all veggie pie and added some chicken, so that was pretty nice. at times i come here with my significant other to grab a slice on the go along with some fries. i've been coming here since i was a kid. can't go wrong with childhood memories right? =]

we were basically starving after a night out - the girls and i were not looking forward to the wait at seniore's..luckily the bf noticed there was a ton of parking right in front of irving pizza and we decided to pick up here. went for the large cheese and found out it was way cheaper than ordering a whole pizza from up the street. a perfect ending to a great night. 4 hungry girls after a night of dancing = devoured pizza in 2 mins.

Jessica h.
Good priced pizza...only $2.50 for a pretty big slice of super thin, crispy pizza. They have at least 4 different types of slice pizza out, and finish baking it in the pizza oven when you order it. Take-out or delivery actually gets you bigger, heartier slices. Good to know: Their take-out menu has great coupons like "2-two topping medium pizzas for $20"--Great deal!

i luv pizza but this place is the best since its open late till 3amish and your half-drunk!! this is the best pizza in town but it could be the alcohol thats talking if only pizza was a healthy food i would go here all the time!

J M.
i've been a staunch supporter of Seniore's in the past. my friends have extolled the virtues of Irving pizza but i did not waiver, like friggin George W. insisting that there were WMDs in iraq. but seniore's has fallen off, perhaps complacent in their perceived supremacy. irving pizza now reigns supreme as best pizza to eat when trying to prevent alcohol-induced vomiting. it's even good while sober. step up your game Seniore's!

larry s.
this is a great late night / anytime pizza joint where you can go & grab a slice. the place will cater to your almost every whim you want on your slice as long as its on the menu. the place is not for the faint hearted & those who are health conscience. this is a true experience in gastronomical gluttony, large slices of pizza, covered in lots of cheese, meat & veggies, dipped in home made ranch dressing. the hot wings & fries are good, make sure you have alot of napkins. i'm glad they opened another location in the tenderloin off of geary & larkin street. i stop by there as once in awhile well to grab a slice & go during the day if i'm in that part of town & craving pizza. best bang for the buck. good tasting cheap eats & large drinks you can't beat this place. parking in the area can be difficult, there is a near by metered parking lot located on 20th avenue between irving & lincoln way.

Jason W.
there pizza is decent just like any other pizza places. i brought three slices and it was 13 dollars. they have really bad services with a lot of attitude. i told the girl i wanted my pizza to go and she keep constantly asking me if it here or to go. i would only go here if I'm really hungry at night time.

Man, everyone who says they don't like this place probably grew up on the West coast. On the East Coast this pizza would be passable, but in SF, it's the best NY style pizza you can get- and I've been looking. You want grease and cheese on a real pizza crust go to Irving Pizza. You want tofu and bean sprouts go to CPK.

Don't even bother ordering from here. I live five minutes away from this place and ordered a pizza for delivery at about 11:45 pm. I was quoted fourty-five minutes to an hour. Around 1:15 am I called to ask if the order had been sent out already so I had a sense of timing, since I had a friend over who was considering calling it a night and going home. The guy who answered the phone, without apologizing, corrected me about how long I had been waiting and told me it would be another ten minutes. Ok...... so after another half hour I call again to cancel the order. Two hours is too long to wait for any meal. Again, the guy didn't apologize and acted like I was crazy for not wanting the pizza anymore. Finally, realizing my mind wasn't changing, he told me that I "would just have to tell the guy when he got here." He was incredibly rude and honestly, not even GOOD food is worth that kind of service.

went here a couple of times and the service was pretty good. it's a lot easier to get pizza since i live so near the place so it's very convenient when i'm craving pizza.

It may not be the best pizza in the world, but if you are looking for something to eat late at night, this is probably a better place than many.

Like the other reviewers say, the plus of this joint is its hours in a quiet side of town. The pizza is decent and you can get whatever fried food fix you need in the wee hours. It's not too pricy and you'll get a good portion for what you pay.

I eat this pizza like 4 days a week and its pretty delicious and it hits the spot. the customer service could be nicer but thats about it.. one time i went in there and there was a crazy ass lady on meth screaming at the cooks.. than she told me about the meth lab down the street from her house and told me how she hadn't slept for 10 hours in the last 4 days.. but anyway good pizza ok service.

i've been coming here since a good friend of mine introduce me to this place. pizzas are alright and i usually get their hawaiian! i also like their sandwiches, it's pretty damn mouth watering! i'd stick with pesto chicken. they also comes with french fries. yay! mm they also do deliver too. they accept credit card and cash, woots!

Best pizza in the the Sunset, and worth a drive or mini ride from North Beach just for a single slice.

Good pizza at a great price. Their variety of toppings, interesting specialties, and great deals make this a pizzeria that you would not want to pass up. They have great delivery hours (as would be expected from a pizzeria), and generally arrive well ahead of the predicted time. The pizza is very tasty, whether you eat it right away, or save some for later.

You can get a slice of pepperoni and a beer for $5.50. Their pizzas are tasty; good crust and sauce and decent amounts of toppings. I haven't ventured away from the slices so I really can't tell you what the rest of their food is like. But I like this place, it's always a good choice when I need a quick bite and don't feel like straying too far from home.

Can you say "tasty"? Yes...you can! Irving Street Pizza is the bomb. The pizza is soo good! Not only do they have tasty pizza, they serve great sandwiches (cheese steak) and burgers with fries. With 6 beers on tap, cable entertainment, a great staff --- what more do you want? Breakfast...you ask? They just started serving breakfast from 6am --- noon on weekdays. Their breakfast sandwiches are excellent and are served with home-fried potatoes. They are open super late for all you munchie-chies. You know who you are.

oh, irving pizza. how i love you so. thanks to my new drinking buddy in the sunset (who happens to lives down the street from here) - i have found a new haven after a few beers on the other side of irving. i've been there twice in the last week! geez. and the folks working there are accomodating enough (considering at 1, 2 am not bad..) taking care of everyone no matter how packed it gets. so sure eating late night greasy pizza that's bad for you but tastes so good buzzed may cancel most of my new year's resolutions of losing weight... but cheers to late night pizza being happines. haha. and thanks to the guy working tonight who warned everyone about street cleaning! nearly got a ticket..

Late night joint for slices of pizza, open til 3am on friday and saturday, 1 am otherwise. Decent slices of pizza for between $2.50 and $3. Better option is Seniore's on 19th. Cheaper and better.

Pizza is just okay - if that. No hint of olive oil, oregano, spice, - very plain. I don't think I've every odered it again. For delivery they do have some decent fish n chips, chicken strips, jalapeno poppers. Come to think of it, that's the only reason I order from them. Oh well.

a week ago my mom n john were over droppin off more goodies to my new diggs...so we decided to just order pizza...sooo of course i hopped right on yelp and found this place...were ordered their special which is like a typical supreme pizza....first of all they quoted us 35 minutes....an hour later i called and asked wtf...wheres our pie?? "on its way" umm ok...so he shows up 5 minutes later. the pizza was in the cooling stages by now.....i could tell by the box becasue it was cool not hot at all...i asked him if he had the parm and the red pepper flakes that i had requested and he looked at me like HUUUHH??? and then replied " oh we only have those at the restaurant"...whatever...i took it upstairs and sure enough the pizza was cold..i called and complained but they werent trying to send another one over or give me any type of coupon for later..their lack of customer service really bothers me...im not picky at all but if i pay freakin 30 bucks for a pizza it bette be HOTT for one and taste DELICIOUS ...it sucks because i really had high hopes since they have such great reviews....the pizza could of been great..it tasted like it was great a half hour before we received it.....next time im callin cybelles for sure

Monk R.
the thing i love about living in the sunset, is recognizing the irving pizza delivery boy with longish straight hair driving a cute little red hatchback. i love proclaiming, 'hey there's the delivery boy!' anyway, their pizza is ok, but always compliments the beer! service is friendly and not super fast but that doesn't compromise how 'good' they are. the veggie sandwich and fries are good. strange abundance of napkin dispensers here, but i guess that's a good thing! oh and i love the little pizza dishes they serve your slices on.

It's funny how people are trying to be pizza connoisseurs, especially when it comes to places like Irving. I highly doubt that they're striving to be the best pizza in town, but they do serve up a pretty decent slice. So please do us all a favor and get that silver spoon out of your butt. This place is great on the weekend when you've got the drunken munchies after hitting up the bars. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who doesn't live in the area since I don't think it's worth any sort of commute. But for the locals? Hooray for Irving pizza!

the pizza is quite good (see phil's review for the prices). they also have a lot of other stuff on the menu (fish and chips, salads, pastas). i had a caesar salad once--the dressing was from a packet, but the salad was huge. they also have pretty decent lunch specials (2 slices and a drink for $5 or something like that).

as a brooklyn native, i was impressed. the pizza is really thin and really good, one of the best slices i've had in the west. also, they deliver late, which is a huge plus in my book. the wings are decent, nothing to rave about though.

Crystal R.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!!!!! They were 30 mins late! I ordered via Delivery.com , and confirmed the order. Even called to make sure they got it. The order arrives 30 mins late, the burger was not made to order! I asked for no condiments except bbq, if none available, then nothing please. They slapped on EVERYTHING they had except the kitchen sink. I asked for well done. The burger was burnt outside, pink inside..... like medium / rare....could not eat it. Called the restaurant and spoke to a guy who said his name was Mike/Miguel, but I think he was lying because he sounded like he didn't even care. He said it was his fault, and yea, he wasn't paying attention.... WHAT?!?!?!I would concede if they were busy but it was Tuesday first order of the day, so no excuse! Do not order from here if you want quality.

I got a vegetarian burger with fries and a Parmesan sandwich delivery (and a nice %25 tip). EVERYTHING WAS OLD. It's as if they took the leftover food from last week and decided to see if the costumer will complain. Well, I did complain and I'm also leaving this yelp review, so hopefully this place won't try this again for the next guy. I'm not getting anything from here again.

I've ordered delivery from Irving Pizza 3 times and pick up once. I'm not a huge fan of their pizza although there are other things on the menu I really like. Tonight, the one-topping bacon pizza I ordered was less good than usual. It was extraordinarily dry. There was almost no sauce. I couldn't taste it, and looking at the pizza in cross section, could see only the thinnest sauce line -- nearly invisible. The amount of cheese was adequate, although not at all generous, and the topping was very skimpy. All in all it was kind of a dry-bready experience. We also had the 'buffalo' wings, which were delicious, but not in any way buffalo style. The wings were unsauced and breaded with a savory spiced coating that is not hot at all (buffalo wings are unbreaded with a hot chili / cayenne / vinegar-based sauce) . So I don't know why they are called 'buffalo', because the are not. But I'll order them again because they are nice and crispy and they taste good. I just won't be expecting buffalo wings next time. In the past, we've also ordered the chicken tenders and burgers, and both were excellent. But I'm probably going elsewhere for my pizza after tonight

Irving Pizza is amazing for late night food. From Sun-Thurs they are open until 2am and Fri-Sat they are open until 3am. You can get your slice quickly and they heat it up within 5 minutes. Each slice is under $5 and they are HUGE portions! The crust is amazing, always crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also take credit card! With no minimum needed. Oh, and try to avoid the bathrooms-it isn't the cleanest...

David M.
Decent food, really bad service. Last time I walked it was 3 PM and not busy at all. There were two guys at the counter who didn't appear to be doing anything but wouldn't even make eye contact. I walked right up to them. Nothing. What are you supposed to do in this situation? I ended up leaving and getting a sandwich at the liquor store/deli next door.

I see there are a ton of new people who work there, seems like they added beer to there menu as well and i feel like with that change its not the same.... Pizza of mine was dry it's not like how it use to be... Very disappointed. was the best pizza I use to get now not so much.

Irving pizza is just a block from my house. I love how late it's open. Perfect for a late bite or when I'm just top lazy to cook. Pizza's always great and they're always playing the game on at least one tv.

Kaje Y.
I've been here twice now, and this time it was a bit earlier so they had more pizza options. Ordering "to go" they charge 50 cents extra for a box. I guess order "for here" and just take it to go on a paper plate. The total for 1 slice of combo pizza to go with tax was 4.xx, but on the higher side... The pizza itself was really good, and it's a fairly large slice. It's pretty much a costco slice for twice as much money. I like their combo pizza, and I'd come back, but I wouldn't pay 50 cents for the box next time. They do have beers and they do have homeless people coming in and out. They also open late so they get the drunk and high people too. All good.

I ordered pizza from Irving's apparently on a very busy Tuesday night. After waiting for 90 minutes I called to check the status of the pizza. They said they were sorry for the delay and that the pizza was actively being delivered and would arrive shortly. Another 30 minutes later and I decide this was not the case. Perhaps I should be more patient but I didn't feel like staying up til one in the morning waiting for pizza. Instead I'll go to bed hungry, had they been honest I could've gotten food somewhere else.

I eat pizza here on occasion when I am in the area and the slices I've gotten are pretty darn good. Today I got a Philly cheese steak with a side salad. Menu did not include a description of the salad and I'm a really picky salad eater but I gave it a shot. The Philly was okay but it hardly had cheese, very dry. The mystery salad came with lettuce tomato onion and banana peppers which I think is a strange combination for a salas. A small thing of ranch dressing was two dollars extra... kind of disappointing. The people who work their are very nice though. :)

I had only wanted to use my Gopago credits since it was the last day and since Irving pizza was the closest I had decided to use it on them. Boyyy do I regret coming here in the first place. The staff was extremely rude especially the stupid a$$ ignorant lady that works at the register. I placed my order on gopago and had called them to see when it would be ready and what do I get in return.... the stupid lady hung up on me! When I got there to pick up my pizza, I had to wait an additional 2 hours!!! How do you even run a business like this!?!?! This is insane! The lady even said that I had to be a customer there in order to use their restroom, for which I was since I did just purchase a pizza and she still wouldn't let me use it! I had to walk across the street to Starbucks and use theirs! This is by far the worst establishment that I have ever been to and will defiantly be my last. I rather go elsewhere than to support to crap hole that they call of a business!! I will also not be recommending your crappy services to anyone ever again! UPDATE!!! You have got to be kidding me!!! Not only was my pizza extremely cold by this point because of the insane 2 hour wait but they were even being cheap on the toppings! Don't pizzas having toppings that are filled throughout?!? Sadly, my pizza only had toppings in the center, leaving about 3 inches of space that could have been filled. This is just extremely disappointing, I ended up just giving my pizza away to the homeless.

Patrick C.
In the Sunset District...I think that Irving Pizza and Seniore's is probably the best two pizza-by-the-slice pizza parlors. The difference is that Irving's crust is thinner (which I love) and Seniore's toppings seems fresher. All-in-all...Irving pizza still rocks!!

Lily S.
You know i really want to give this place an okay review since my boyfriend and I frequent this place often but the service really sucks. Time and time again we come in and recieve the same horrible service. There is a blonde girl that works there and she is just horrible. My friend went in and ordered pizza and garlic bread and after paying for his meal and waiting, he recieves his pizza and waits for his garlic bread. He sees his garlic bread and than waits to recieve it, but suprisingly the girl looks around the room and starts eating it.. WTF?? come on really.. Anyways, the girls there are just rude to everyone in general. The nicest one there is the the guy that warms up the pizza for you. I'm not going to lie, I'll be back for sure for late night drunken munchies.

SF NATIVE N.
Pizza GOOD. Service BAD. If you can tolerate some really crappy service 75% of the time you go in, then be my guest. I would go more often if it weren't for the lousy service. The chicks that work here are okay...but there's this one short mexican dude with studded earrings. FYI - do not ask for pizza while he's working as he'll get pretty upset if you try & interrupt his "game" while hitting on the other chicks working behind the counter. This dude literally threw my pizza on the counter ( passive-aggressively ) as he was in the middle of hitting on this chick. No thank you, no come again, no nothing. Just an evil stare for me happening to buy pizza while he was trying to play mack daddy. Also $3.75 per slice?!? I bought 2 slices...nearly $8 bucks!! Pizza hut is offering a "bad economy" special....ANY SIZE pizza for $ 10 bucks. And the service BLOWS Irving Pizza away. Man...you want to give the smaller businesses a shot, but when they overcharge and give you lousy service to boot...who cares how good the pizza is.

I will never go back here. I used to order their pizza at least once a week. Recently I ordered a pizza for pick up. I took the pizza home and realized it was someone else's pizza. I called back and asked for my pizza. After some haggling and time on hold they agreed to deliver my pizza. I didn't want to get back in the car, drive there, look for parking, get my pizza and drive back home and look for parking when I had just done that and they had given me someone else's pizza. When the delivered pizza box arrived, there was profanity directed at me. I called the owner the next day and he came by my house and was very apologetic. He would not refundy money, but he offered me a free pizza and told me I could just call and they could look up my phone number in the computer and there would be a credit. I eventually got over the obscenity and called about 3 or 4 weeks later. There was no credit and the guy who answered the phone was indignant that I would even have a credit. Rather than beg for a free pizza I just go elsewhere now and will never go back to Irving street pizza.

I stopped by to have a slice since I always walk by after work. I decided to go in and try a slice since the slices looked great from the window. Before I could even enjoy my barely cook pizza, the guys took my cash and gave me my change. I proceeded to watch him NOT wash his hands after handling money and touch my slice with his bare hands. All it takes is for one mistake like that for me to never come back again. Handling money and not washing your hands before handling food is a NO NO.

I use to come here when it was napolies and then when they first changed to irving pizza all the way till recently. What happened to the quality??? The pizza use to taste so good but now, I didn't even want to come back here no more. I got a combo and a hawaiian slice that was sitting on the counter and when I got home (15 blocks driving) it was cold already. The crust sucked and was kinda under cooked. 2 stars for now since this place was my favorite for over 10 years. I don't know if there has been a change of ownership or what but I will give this place another try and update the ratings. Till then.....

Dont ever waste your time with the blonde girl. Her ogre-ish smile is a lie. She always has something up her ass and she never does a damn thing. Thanks for pissing me off enough to the point of writing this bs. If your gona be a server please don't be a cold ugly bitch. Also while im talking about this lil blonde ive seen her eat before on the job then serve people before washing. Ive worked in the food industry before and thats a red flag Thats dirty bitch, if your gonna be a bitch and serve me, at least wash your hands. Hope you read this and i hope you fall down some stairs. IF YOU WORK FOR IRVING PIZZA PLEASE CHECK YOUR CAMERAS AND GET THIS GIRL OUT OF HERE. SHE IS RUINING YOUR BUSINESS AND IMAGE.

I just got home from work super-late and realized at 12:30 AM that I needed to eat dinner. Yelp said that this was where to go that was still open. Since I had this as sober pizza, three stars. If I'd had it after drinking, it'd have been four stars.

Finally ate something here after hearing about it for years as the ultimate drunk food from a friend who lives nearby. I was amazed how good it was for "drunk food" pizza. We were there at about 11 or so and the place was trashed. Atmospheric it is not.

Alexander W.
This is a solid pizza place in the sunset. There are others that are maybe on par with this place(Cybelle's, Mr. Pizza Geary), but I have nothing bad to say about Irving Pizza. Every ingredient is fresh and delicious. Their Hawaian slice is heavenly. The sandwhiches are great too. This is not a gourmet italian restaurant, it is a pizzeria where you can get a cheap bite to eat and be happy with it. Good selection of beers BUT I'm knocking them down a star for not having half of them in stock for about 3 straight weeks. The staff isn't spectacular, but you know what, they're getting paid minimum wage. They're nice enough and competent. Quick delivery by a not so friendly delivery guy. Compared to their downtown location, this place is much better quality in regards to food, staff, and efficiency.

one star for pesto pizza one star for being open late one star for good service and one star for opening extra late. the pizza here is OK, i like their pesto and hawaiian tho

Sean T.
This place holds a special place in my heart, mainly because it's close to where a lot of my friends live. Also the pizza is pretty damn good too. i recommend their pesto and the cheese. They are always friendly and they are always watching either sports or seinfeld which is always a nice added bonus when you are waiting for your pizza. I like to think of this place as the calmer friendlier version of "Escape From New York Pizza" but that might just be because it's in the Sunset. Anyways Chill atmosphere Chill staff good pizza good cheap pitchers of beer

I like their pizza with flavorful meat and cheeses , and italian spices I remember as kid, AND medium thin crust. Decent prices and service. Good lunch specials. Not much ambiance but low price. get a slice or a pizza to go! All I know is their pizza is tasety. By the slice its only fair Decor: eh, low rent.

This place is great for nice delicious slice of San Francisco pizza and soda. Nothing is more enjoyable than this awesome meal. The place just got remodeled and is always clean. The staff is friendly and the pizza tastes great. My favorite is a slice of pesto with sausage and fresh tomotas topped with melted mozzarella. Thanks Irving for the deliciousoso!!!! :o)
(5)
Chris M.
Granted, I didn't order pizza. I ordered their mozzarella sticks (I was having a craving) and buffalo wings. The wings were not traditional buffalo wings, but fried/lightly spicy-battered with dipping sauce. The wings appeared to be that of a chicken so tiny it could barely support its own weight. The mozzarella sticks were the kind you get from Sam's Club, but deep fried. And the price was laughable. I sure hope the pizza is good, but if these are appetizers then I'm for sure I would've walked out immediately had I been sitting down.

Zoeboe D.
While the pizza is not "bad" persay, I swear there's something in the cheese they use that always makes me sick. They get 3 stars since they're open late and they have other things on the menu other than pizza. The dudes that work there are also pretty cool =)
(3)
Russ N.
Yes, the pizza by the slice has probably been sitting in the window for hours. Yes, the pizza doesn't look so appetizing. However,.... When they heat those slices up and I tasty that first crunchy bite, I can't help buy think...that is a good slice of thin crust pizza!! This place is definitely our favorite pizza place in the city. Although we've had other great pizza from Milano's, Seniore's, and Patxi's, we love Irving Pizza's crust!!

I showed up when it was reasonably busy (early dinnertime on a Friday night) but their by-the slices were all really, really, really gnarly looking. I got the cheese because it was by far the freshest looking. The taste of left-out was still very strong, but I could tell it was probably never very good to begin with. It's sad, but I've tasted enough cheap pizza that I can confidently estimate what this thing's flavor would have been like if it's sell-by date hadn't been reached. I am a forensic pathologist of by-the-slice pizza. It was also served hot as hell. I don't know why bad pizza places do this. It's like they see that relationship between "hot" and "fresh", and think that adding insane amounts of extra hotness will makes up for the godawful lack of freshness. But it only causes pain. On the plus side, a pitcher of Pabst is only $7.00, and if you know me you know I love the Blue Ribbon. It makes me feel like I've won. It makes me feel like I am the best. So it gets a second star, for the Pabst, and for letting its obligatory wall of photos get so abysmally filthy. I'm being serious: I think there may be actual shit on it.

service sucks. lifeless women who work behind the counter. seriously, just watch them work. im the only guy sitting at the bar, without a pizza, waiting in front of your face. hand the pizza to me when its done, there's no need to let it sit unattended, unannounced on the counter, im right here. i see you walk right past me to talk on the phone. did you forget my face? are you that fuckin oblivious?

For a fast lunch, one slice after my scouting. Not bad.
(4)
I Can H.
Well, I know it's not the best pizza, but when it's only 2 blocks from your house...mmm it fast can become the best pizza. The key to getting a decent slice is to ask them if they have anything fresh coming out...if not and the pizza looks like astronaut icecream, then I would say to pass and call up Seniores. But other than that, the pizza is quite good and they're open past 2am on the weekends. I've had their salads which aren't bad either. During lunch, they have a pizza/beer special for about $5. I've never been here for breakfast...so cant comment there. Oh and one more thing - the service can be extremely crappy at times, along with the tv channel. If you see a Russain guy named Vlad (a.k.a Vlad the Douche)...be prepared to repeat yourself because he'll be too busy watching re-runs of Family Matters.

I tried a fresh pepperoni slice last night for a quick bite after classes, so I wasn't drunk like the other reviewers. I heard they were NY style and even though their sign states that they were born in NY and raised in SF, it falls short of being a "NY style" pizza. The crust was on the softer, doughy side, not crunchy and regular in terms of thickness. Although, I consider them average, they do accept credit cards (American Express) and they offer a punch card for a free slice and fountain drink after 6 purchases (no minimum listed). The self-serve water container (next to the fountain machine not a part of it) is mixed with limes but it still fails in masking the tap water taste. One wonders if it's even filtered. The prices are fairly reasonable at $3.25 for a pepperoni slice but there are better pizza places in the city.
(3)
Janel Y.
If you're in the mood for late night snacking or a decent pizza fix, this is the place to go. It's a small place with a average amount of tables to sit at. The only thing is that I don't know how long their pies sit out in the open, underneath the heat lamps...
(3)
Rob T.
Crispy crust that holds the goodies without disintegrating. Always something good on TV. Pepperoni that has taste in addition to texture. And since this is a late-night kind of place when everywhere else is closed, parking is never a problem, even for this neighborhood. And if you're not in the mood for pizza, you're sure to find something in the 20th/Irving "gauntlet" to satisfy your craving: KFC, PPQ, Chabaa Thai, Wonderful Foods, ...

Good pizza when you eat there and get slices. The pizza that is delivered is not as good. Probably because it does not sit out as long and collect grease. The prices are good and so are the employees. Eat here almost every week since I moved to san francisco. The End.

Pretty good Veggie slice, but the price of admission is simply ridiculous; for a dollar more, I can get two meals from a sandwich from either Handy's or Lucca's. Good, but not the best.

You people giving out stars must be crazy. I live 2 blocks away, and there's no other pizza nearby. I love pizza and gotta have it. Often. E-v-e-r-y s-i-n-g-l-e t-i-m-e I have had a slice at this place, it is pretty bad to pretty sh-ty. Just look at it sitting there before you order, do you really want something that unappetizing? Looks like once soaked, now dried-up cardboard, and tastes only as good as the topping on the surface. Really, really sub par. Staff is neither friendly nor troubling, they just goo about their business. I am glad one guy no longer seems to work there. He was young 20something and looked and acted like he wished he was elsewhere. When I saw him cough into his hand and then touch the pizzas to get them into their pans for display, I knew I'd tasted my last slice of theirs. (fortunately I haven't seen him in a while; hope they got rid of him). Now I trek when the zza craving strikes.

Its taste good, still open after 2 am Sunday early morning after I got back from Trader Sam. I think it opens till 3 am on the weekend at this location. I took it home to eat. Still warm when I walk home.

I eat here quite a bit, since its the closest pizza place to my buddies house. The interesting part is that I eat hamburgers and CHEESEBURGERS from this place!!! Thats right, they have, seriously, some of the best hambugers around! Not to mention that they deliver them, and they're under 7 dollars WITH steak fries!! Its nuts I know! As for the pizza, no one I know particularly likes it. We eat it from time to time, either a whole pie or more likely by the slice, and its not bad or anything though. Bottom Line: Decent little pizza joint, that for no good reason has great hamburgers/cheeseburgers. Its a small little place with nice staff, and decent prices. Stop by if you're in the area, but dont expect too much from the pizza.

I come here about once a week for a hot fast decent dinner to-go. Love their Combo & Sausage pizza and I always have first slide of each for my routine dinner. :P Cost $7 and I am so satisfied. Personally prefer Irving Pizza than Seniore's Pizza, personal preference.

Recently after the remodeling they've hired new staff which is great. But I don't think they know how long to bake the pizza for...it's very VERY chewy the two other times I've gone, instead of crispy that it was before. I'm so disappointed, there goes my tasty cheap pizza :(

Irving Pizza is the first stop after the first fifth of J.B. is gone dictating a return trip to Jerry's Liquor next door. I'll stop in and order a slice before i go get more beer and/or booze. Remember: Pesto, pesto, pesto. The pepperoni is a little too greasy. Oh & get 3 slices before a small pizza, you save money. I avoid eating here sober since i do it so much intoxicated .... don't' want to spoil the party, as they say.

Actually I want to give 3.5 this time. After 1am, everything is closed. Pretty much no choice but pizza. And I like sitting in warm room and waiting for them to delivery most of times. Although, I remember long time ago I walked in once or twice right before they closed. They gave me and my friend a couple of slides for free. How sweet treatment is that for our neighbor! Staying up almost everyday now. Ordered Appetizer Combo with Fries this time. It's the first time of this year eating such unhealthy late night food. Oh well, moving away soon, better food is waiting hopefully. But before that, what you gonna to do? Non food for a whole day, no time for cooking and no food left over. Oh yea, they are not bad at all. Anyway, 2 stars for the Appetizer was sucks... 1 more for the fries are really good and if I remembered correctly, their pizza supposedly really good too, I would give 3.9 stars... so here it is.

Great slices when after a long night out, not so great when sober ( I feel the pizzas smell a bit different, I don't like it but I'm sure some people do). Overall though its good pizza. They have some appetizers - I ordered the garlic cheese bread once and it wasn't that good. I'd definitely come here on the late night to eat but not in other situations.

I don't love this place because it's literally a stone's toss from my apartment or because it's open until 2 AM. I don't know why but it somehow always hits the spot after a tough night of drinking and all you need is a hot slice of pizza. Irving Pizza has mastered the art of classic, simple, basic choices of pizza and combined it with a thin sliced crust that has just the right amount of crunch to it. All their toppings always taste fresh and not dried out. It's definitely a great one stop shop for a cheap beer on draft and a couple great slices of pizza!

Great place to grab pizza for lunch. I've been here a few times with my brother and it always seems to hit the spot. Probably because of all the greasy goodness that each slice of pizza holds. They sell by the slice and we always each get the 2 fat pepperoni slices + soda deal. Well worth it. This place is less than 10 blocks from home, so it's convenient. It's relatively small but it's never too busy. They have a small TV there to watch, from what I remember it's usually on BET. One time Alicia Key's music video was on and a lady, who was by herself, started to talk out loud. "She can't sing! She can't dance!" Yeah, you're bound to meet a few characters out on this side of Irving. There are quite a few other items on the menu, but I doubt I am going to try them anytime soon. When I come here, I come here for the NY style pizza.

My housemate orders this pizza all the time... I can't resist pizza, I love it. But I've gotten sick from irving pizza 2 times. What are you putting in your pizza people? Stop it, because I can't stop eating you. ---------------- So you know how I said I eat this pizza all the time because it there, all the time. I don't get sick anymore. I think it was fluke... I think this is the best pizza in the sunset. Really fast delivery too. It is greasy... but that's why you blot it, like all pizza :)

Decent pizza, decent service. Stopped by becuase the line in Pho was too long, and we were short on time. Ordered small pepperoni pizza and garlic fries. Served us normal fries instead becuase they ordered it wrong, but the guy took it back and made a quick fix. My bro wanted ranch (which was 50cents) he paid for one, but the guy gave us anf xtra one for free.
(4)Aghlab Z.
I love this pizza and the owner awadalla very good owner and very good service and the place is very clean and its nice for famlies and the staff is very nice
(5)Veronica V.
This place is a hit or miss. They do have great options, which I really like. My co-worker and I love ordering from here because it's so fast!! Prices are decent, you do get large serving sizes. One pizza slice is like two pieces combined. The slices are a hit or miss, sometimes they are very warm and hot other times they do taste hard. Otherwise I do like this place.
(4)Maria W.
Great pizza n service every time!!! I love both locations i have been coming here for years.....
(5)Julia Q.
I have been going here for years. The people behind the counter, Yuri, Danillo, Patrick and the gang have always been so friendly to me. I love getting the vegetarian pizza as well as the fish sandwich. The pizza is juicy!! They also have a pretty good selection of salads. You can choose some interesting toppings. I usually get the greek without the olives and get sun dried tomatoes. I haven't tried the deep friend oreos yet. This is a cool place because it's mostly locals. It has a nice neighborhood feel and I love when someone remembers my name.
(4)Jamie P.
I order from this place probably twice a week. They deliver fast and everyone is really friendly. The price is pretty average for San Francisco. Im from the east coast, so id consider myself kind of a pizza snob. but I like this pizza. Its not GREAT but better than anywhere else out here. My boyfriend thinks this is the best pizza he's ever eaten.
(4)Wendy L.
This is our go-to pizza place in the city now. We are East Coast transplants, so this pizza reminds us of good NY pizza. The only thing we would change is the location of this place. We have to drive 25 minutes to get this stuff, and we would likely order it once a week if it were closer...maybe that's a good thing. :)
(4)Dexter H.
WHY DID YOU CHANGE EVERYTHING!!! I loved you! I loved your pizza, mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings and jalapeno poppers, but you changed how you made all of it! Now I find the food repulsive. I'm sorry but its bad. The buffalo wings are the most noticeable. It used to be spicy, crisp and real chicken. Now it tastes like a mushy, bland, poor excuse for a chicken nugget. The dough on the new pizza is like a wet stale cracker. There is no sauce and there's no flavor in what sauce is there. The toppings are all raw. Even the cheese is like half uncooked. There's no seasoning anywhere in sight. And its greasy in a gross way not a good way. I don't get it. I don't get it. I was seriously telling everyone about Irving Pizza before. Now its like a nightmare I was to forget.
(1)Carmen L.
I never wanted to come here but I was really hungry. I did not have a good impression of this place because the pizza doesn't look so good. The pizza was what I expected -lacking flavor and taste. The person who took my order was nice but the cashier seemed unfriendly (probably because he'd been drinking! how unprofessional to drink on the job). Go to kfc or something.
(2)Clay K.
Hilarious staff and excellent food. Get a slice and a drink for five bucks. I hit this place at least once a week. At most more than I care to admit. Quick and addicting.
(5)Elena I.
Super fast delivery and really tasty pizza. I was surprised by the quality and service. These guys are my favorite from now on. Burgers and fish and chips are delish too.
(5)david h.
I am a pizza snob from New York...Ive tried many if the pizza places in san fran to san jose...Pizza my heart was the only pizza place close to new york pizza taste. One day I was waiting for underdogs to open and I decided to give your place a try. What a great surprise, not only was it the right texture but the sauce and the cheese were perfect... Ive now been back about 10 times..

Irving Pizza has filled my late-night-snackums desires on countless desperate occasions -- and not just with solid pizza, but with every other salty, fattening, delicious, and readily available snack-matter to satisfy any savory-a-phile. I lived at 21st and Irving for about 2 years, and for those 2 years Irving Pizza was just a short schlumping around the corner at 1AM. Now that I live in the glorious fog banks of 40th Ave, I opt for their ridiculously enabling delivery availability. They deliver until 2am Sunday through Thursday and they deliver until 3am on Friday and Saturday. My big unabashed butt ate delivery cheeseburgers and fries on my bed, at 1AM, in front of the Walking Dead last weekend, and I am still daydreaming about it. The burgers were anything but the conception of a "delivery burger." They were not sloppy, still hot, and very delicious. With the rest of the Sunset (and most San Francisco) food epicenters closing at 10:00PM, Irving Pizza will always have my back. And my bed-burger butt. Thanks guys.
(5)Eugene T.

(2)Jonathan F.
I used to be a fan of this place. Yes, the pizza and salad is still good. But the prices are a bit high. Also, the place needs to be cleaned up. It has always been a dive but really, it needs some cleaning. Really it does, the place is a wreck. I realize it is really a spot for the 20-something crowd and that's great. But as a neighborhood pizza spot, I was disappointed from what it used to be. For one thing the prices. They have gone up. A bit high for only a slice of pizza and some salad. They were not as high in the past. And I thought it sort of tacky that if you wanted salad, you had to order "toppings" to go with the salad. It used to be that Irving Pizza had two salads, basic green and then the Greek salad, and they were in two sizes large and small. Salad is a simple staple not much to it. So to have to order toppings is to me a way to bleed the customer. I figured out what brought up the price of my simple pizza slice and small salad order, the mandatory choice of "toppings." Times have changed and this is the new approach. Also, Irving Pizza has a new Belly card rewards system. Sign up and get a little member card and patrons can start earning points for free stuff. Another sign of the times that things have changed. Oh well! Staff is friendly, but service is not so great. I doubt very much if I will be going back.

I've been getting pizza from here almost every Friday for the last two years. I have always told people that it is the best slice in town. However, recently the quality has become questionable at best. Over the last few months, every pizza that I have received has been cold and dry. It tastes like they took a pizza that has been sitting around for a few hours and then boxed it up when I ordered it. In some cases, it suspiciously looks like they pieced together two separate pizzas into one. Sadly, I am going to have to order my pizza from somewhere else from now on. I can't keep giving away my money for bad pizza.
(2)David S.
A for effort. In the past year, I've seen them sand down the furniture and refinish it, and add some new beer tap / refrigerator setup. It's the details that matter. Pizza typically seems to be hotter, too. But I don't order delivery. Still miffed or amused that the delivery guy took an hour and "got lost" walking a block and a half before. My mistake anyway. I live stupid close.
(4)Jasmin M.
Guy must've spit on the pizza! Tastes like his breath smelled! Bad! Watch out for the crust too.. So dry I almost choked.. Only thing good was the canned soda and bottled water. So bad I gave the pizza back and didn't ask for a REFUND!
(1)Brett H.
My wife and I went here on a whim last week; it was late evening and we needed dinner. Our experiences (and dishes) were very different. I ordered two slices of pizza and was treated to a delicious slice of meat lovers pizza done just right! My wife ordered the chicken strips and was asked to wait. And wait. And wait. 30 mins later she went up to ask about her meal and was informed that the order had been missed. She was rightfully upset; and I finished my pizza so that we could go. They refunded her money; but on the way out they did give us her meal to go; on the house. I thought this was a kind gesture; but she remained u phased. Too bad; I suppose if I return it will be alone.
(3)Isidro M.
Ordered for delivery and our 3 pizzas came promptly. Good pizza that's more fluffy with a thicker crust. I think it lacks texture, perhaps cornmeal on the crust would be perfect? I will say I enjoyed the pizza. It was great but it lacked a seasoned sauce. Salt and pepper. The most important tip, when having delivery REMEMBER TO ASK FOR CHEESE AND PEPPERS! I was very disappointed that the driver didn't think to bring that in their car. Should you have to ask for cheese or peppers?! Either way, the group was pleased.
(3)Joshua W.
Pretty decent post-drinking slice joint. Friendly staff, good prices, and pretty good pizza for this style of pizza joint. Their Hawaiian is particularly tasty if you load it up with a lot of crushed red pepper. They also have a surprisingly good selection of beer taps as well, along with Devil's Canyon Root Beer on tap(a good one).
(4)Aleks F.
Pizza was aiite. As pizzas go, this was nothing special but it did hit the spot. Two slices, two verdicts, both average. Caught the last 3 minutes of the Niners beating the Eagles, it was a good day.
(3)Alice H.
Tip: Slices range from $3-$4 --------------------------------------------------Â--------------- I came here with some friends before heading to "Nightlife" at the Academy of Sciences. Their pizza tastes pretty awesome! The crust has a nice crunch to it, but the pizza is soft and warm. I'd definitely want to come again if I'm in the area and I encourage anyone who finds themselves nearby to drop by and give it a try.
(4)Anastasia G.
I was here at the first time and I like it. Nice big slice of cheese pizza for $3.25. It was nice and tasty. Minus... They just had 3-4 types of pizza.. Not enough. I wish they had mushroom pizza without salami or pepperoni (some kind of vegetarian pizza, because as far as I know it's not halal meat that they're use) or maybe different type of vegetarian pizza that people who can't eat meat might order.
(4)Meng S.
2 stars because it's actually pretty good pizza. But if you want anything other than pizza then fuckin forget it. Fuckin awful - I would know - because I live around the corner. They tell you they have the order and they forget it. Fuck you Irving Pizza - this is the third time..,
(2)Jackie C.
I like that the slices here are nice and big, I tried slices of the combo and the cheese. But I really like my pizzas with more pizza sauce, and there was barely a smear not even an eigth of an inch.
(3)Johnny B.
I get the slices delivered. The pizza whole delivered is soggy for me but the reheat process on their par cooked slices is top notch. Open late. Their sandwiches are decent to great. Great beer on tap selection.
(3)CJ P.
Ordered twice. Both times they conveniently forgot something that I paid for, and the second time somehow bacon turned into canadian bacon (kind of a difference...) in addition to omitting part of my order. Not ordering from again, the first time I called and they were incredibly dismissive so I'm not bothering to call again. However I will let other people know. Edit: After being annoyed, I read more reviews. It seems as if the owner spent as much time addressing problems as they seem to spend responding to yelp reviews then none of us would be in this situation. Really sad.
(1)Brian C.
Came in on a Saturday night. Not too busy, but the restaurant was small. Ordered a XL 3 topping pizza, came out to be about $27. The pizza came out in about 15 min. Seemed fresh. They use a canned tomato sauce and their bacon taste like ham. The pizza came with 12 slices, enough for a party of 4. The pizza was alright and I would come back if someone else wanted to.
(3)Amy G.
Yum! Very tasty pizza. Good crust, good toppings. Delivery came pretty quickly. Nothing over-the-top remarkable but I would definitely order again.
(4)Nancy P.
ordered 2 pizzas one being a ranch sauce pizza #11 and they forgot the ranch for $21 bucks , A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT with company over as well. one other med for a TOTAL OF $50 BUCKS UGH !!!!!!!!!
(2)Nikkol K.
I placed an order on Eat 24 that consisted of a chicken chipotle sandwich, cheese fries, salad (with chicken, beets, onion, cucumber and feta) and a Jones root beer. I promptly got a phone call stating they don't have chicken chipotle, cucumbers for my salad or Jones soda. After some conversation I said no cucumbers and a chicken pesto sandwich would do. He asked if I wanted fries with my sandwich and I told him no, because I had ordered cheese fries on the side. "Oh, no cheese fries". Seriously? What kind of pizza place doesn't have some cheese to throw on top of some fries? So I decided on garlic fries instead. The order that ultimately came: Chicken pesto sandwich, that was nothing like it was listed as on the website. A salad with no beets and crispy chicken, though I selected "chicken", not "crispy chicken" (which I assumed was grilled, but I guess that could have just been a poor assumption on my part) Garlic fries with another side of fries that I told them I didn't want. Barq's root beer To top it off, the only thing I wasn't completely disappointed with was my salad (mixed greens were pretty fresh). The only reason I'm giving them two stars was because the delivery man seemed nice enough, I've never had their pizza so I can't rate them on that and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they just haven't updated their Eat 24 anytime in recent history.
(2)Gloria B.
Sometimes I have to work late, really late, and this is one of only a few places in my neighborhood that is actually still open. This pizza has saved me many nights from going to be with a growling, painfully empty stomach. I usually order in person for take-out, but recently I did delivery. It's worth noting that my order was correct and basically on time with friendly service. I say this because all of my recent delivery experiences with other places have been completely awful.
(4)Nikiya L.
Service is less than mediocre. I'd only recommend going here drunk or if you have plenty of time to waste since the service is horrible. It's not even worth waiting in line or grabbing a quick bite. The guys behind the counter seemed to not give more than 2 craps about their customers or even acknowledge your existence.
(1)Littany W.
Irving Pizza is our go-to pizza spot... it's close by, the service is good, and we love both their slices that are grab and go as well as ordering a whole pizza and picking up on our way home. As someone who has worked in the pizza industry, I am always thankful to come across a pizzeria that uses fresh, quality dough and knows how to stretch and bake it properly as does this place! Even my very picky husband eats the crust because it's just that good! Not to mention, whenever we order through Eat24, our pizza is always WAY over topped - not complaining one bit! Love it! To be fair, we are pretty set in our ways as far as what we order... but so are most people when it comes to pizza. We stick to either a slice of their pesto pizza, or if we are ordering we go with either the Hawaiian or their white pizza with ranch sauce and chicken... both are great and when we do venture to try creating our own, the quality prevails. Thank you Irving Pizza for having a great pizza in this city that doesn't always know how to make a good pie.
(5)Sidney L.
I really do not understand Irving Pizza. I do not understand why sober people would go here, and I do not understand why this establishment would exist, unless drunk people at night really spend that much here. The only reason I am not giving it a one star rating is because it is open late and is pretty much the only option around if you ever get the munchies at 2 AM after a night of libation. Otherwise, here are my list of complaints: - The pizza is just no good. Not sure how this qualifies as "New York" pizza. The pizza here is much too fluffy, and the crust is a little tough. They cook their pizzas on a conveyor oven, rather than a brick oven or a regular oven, either of which would lead to better results. As well, the ingredients do not taste any better than what you would get from Domino's. Just very unimpressive flavors. - The prices are way too high. Charging nearly thirty dollars for an 18 inch (XL) veggie pizza? Even the pizzas by the slice are on the pricey side, at $3.90 a slice for a combo. It's not a particularly large slice either. But oddly enough, it seems like it's a better deal to buy by the slice rather than to buy an entire pizza, you'd probably get more calories for your money if you bought an entire pizza's worth of slices rather than ordering a pizza. - The servers here are just unenthusiastic and unfriendly. Then again, I'd probably be that way if I had to deal with the little high school punks who frequent this place. Irving Pizza does serve a decent selection of beers, and their fries are pretty good. I've also heard good things from friends about their non-pizza items.
(2)Rachael C.
this place is so GOOD!!! I walked in oned day and the owners were helping a lit girl make pizza. it has a real genuine feel to the place. love coming to this place!!
(5)Greg B.
After an hour and forty minutes of waiting, and two attempts by Eat24 to call the restaurant, I cancelled my order. The first time Eat24 called, they were told that the pizza was in route and would arrive "in a few minutes." Forty minutes later, nothing. A second call attempt was unanswered. Looks like I'm not the only one who has had this happen. You can find several reviews here that end the same, that their pizza is just never delivered, and apparently the staff is a bunch of douche blossoms. Well, that's definitely not a way to attract or keep customers. Before too long, their little crap shack is going to be another noodle house on Irving. Good riddance, I say.
(1)Jim G.
Only place around that is open super late. I've had the pizza while drunk many times. I thought it was a good pizza place. BUT, this past weekend I had the pizza sober... it is just plain old bad pizza. Make sure NEVER to eat this pizza sober. It tastes like poor quality pizza. Poor quality cheese and dough. The toppings you could tell were of the cheapest garbage quality. Just skip it. I gave it the second star because it tastes pretty good if you are super drunk at 2am. But then again, so does a hot pocket from 7-11.
(2)Jr N.
Pizza was pretty legit. Decent environment, from out of town and kids were hungry so we stopped here. Obviously not no New York pizza but yeah it was good.
(4)Jake C.
Pizza is fire and a good drunk spot. This is the spot. Good price. I never had any of the other things besides the shitty chicken wings. The wings take for ever and they suck ass. But the pizza is the bomb.
(4)Danny F.
Positive- Open late at night. Nice atmoshpere. 1 slice is worth 2 slices. Good customer service will retern here again late at night only.
(3)Wanda M.
More like 3.5 stars I remember coming here as a child when I went to Jefferson across the street. My grandparents used to live right down the street from this place and I remember my grandma surprising me with pizza every now and then. The pizza is not the best, but certainly not the worst. Prices aren't bad at all (for a slice at least). I haven't been here in a while, but everytime I walk by I think of my grammie.
(4)Foodster G.
Pretty solid pizza! They are my usual spot for pizza delivery, because Seniores tastes like cardboard. They are always pretty prompt when I order from them. I will say in regards to the Wings, it's hit or miss. Sometimes they're full of flavor and other times it isn't. Also, today when I ordered they forgot one of my sodas! Either way, still a solid pizza place and i'll order from them again!
(4)Julian I.
Came in cos I was STARVING & had 2 slices & was thoroughly dissapointed. If I hadnt been so hungry I would have RETURNED them & asked for a refund. They were that DREADFUL!
(1)Ms. J.
**Review for sandwich** I just moved back to the city (Outer Sunset to be exact) and I am loving it! I just found my new "go to" sandwich spot at Irving Pizza I ordered the Classic Style Pizza Sandwich ( w Feta Cheese , Ground Beef , Pesto Sauce) for $8.49 An order of Deep Fried Oreos $3.99 and a Healthy Style Salad w Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. $8.00 Omgawd, that was the shiznit!!!! it was so yummy and tasty and every bite was full of wonderful sensations! Great hot sandwiches for a decent price...i give this place two thumbs up. Would I recommend it? Hell to the yeah
(5)Henry S.
Good pizza place at a convenient location before heading home after a long night of drinking. They have pizza slices out for you so you can choose which one you want to satisfy you munchies/drunchies.
(3)Gabriel C.
Irving Pizza was pretty delicious. Although I didn't order pizza. I ordered for delivery via Eat24. Service was much faster than expected. The Bacon, Avocado Cheeseburger was delicious. It was a good-sized burger as well. Cooked well and fresh ingredients. I also ordered the Garlic Fries. Yummy! They were perfect. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with a healthy topping of fresh chopped garlic and parsley. If you live garlic you will love the Garlic Fries. Will have another go at Irving Pizza.
(3)Caitlin N.
So I decided to give them another chance because everyone makes mistakes, right? Last weekend I ordered another slice with ranch instead of tomato sauce and it was delicious. My boyfriend and I ordered again tonight and once again it was a big mess of ranch on top of a slice of cheese pizza. I immediately called back to see if I could get them to send a replacement slice because I was super hungry. A woman answered and put a man on the phone who basically screamed at me that that's how they always "substitute" ranch and that I "couldn't possibly have ever had it any other way." I was also told that it wasn't an option to "substitute" a different sauce on a slice via Gruhub, despite the fact that we did it with the slice of pesto we ordered and have successfully done it with ranch many times before. There's nothing like being treated like a complete idiot and told you're a liar. I called back a few minutes later to see if we could get a refund. I asked to speak with the owner (per his kind comment on my last post) and the man told me that he was the owner. I said, "so you're Awadalla?" He then backtracked and said, "no. I'm the owner until Monday." Okay? Is that how it works? Owner until Monday? He then proceeded to continue screaming at me about how there was no way that I could have ever ordered a slice of pizza with ranch substituted. He also refused to send or refund another item that was completely left out of the order that we paid for. Finally, he hung up on me. Well, Irving Pizza, you have officially ruined my Friday night. Besides having technically stolen from us because you refused to bring or refund a missing item, your "owner until Monday" was condescending to the point where he actually drove me to tears. He should not be working with people if he is set off in an aggressive rage over one customer complaint. Is that the type of management you hire? Plenty of other great places in the neighborhood that will give you what you order and pay for without the horrible attitude.
(1)Pablo P.
Their pizza is very doughy. When you're drunk/buzzed/tipsy anything is good. Your hormones rage for it when you're in that state and judgement goes down which is why pizza is the best at that time. But back to my review, the people were nice and service was good. Lady who answered the phone was nice. The place was clean. Biggest complaint was the garlic fries. If looked like it was half done with half effort while I was told that they were busy. Looking at the line, it didn't look like it but the fries ended up being the biggest disappointment because it was what we ended up waiting the longest. No garlic evenly throughout the fries and looked like it was all in just over place and lazily done. Give much credit to it being open late at night. I'd only recommend for the pizza and not their garlic fries. Not sure about the rest of the items non pizza related

I used to love this place but my experience last night was something else. Idk what his deal was but the cashier was incredibly RUDE.

As a young grasshopper, one of my life's goal was to order a personal pizza from Irving Pizza and enjoy it with my copy of Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire. A whole pizza all to myself as I flip through the best series of all time. Ah. That's the life :) Fast forward 14 years and a decelerated metabolism later, I walked by Irving Pizza on a weekday near midnight. I was only looking for a slice, as my dreams of a personal pizza have long been buried to the back of my mind by an empty wallet and a humble diet. The Giants were in their 13th inning battle with the Dodgers. Several of the other patrons looked hopefully upon the television, with remnants of their finished slices dispersed over the tables. I ordered a Combo Slice for $4.25. The cashier slid my slice into the oven. I signed the receipt to my credit card. The Giants got a base hit. I sat down with my slice and sprinkled it with too much and not enough Parmesan. The cheese of my pizza was still too solid, it could've used a few more minutes in the oven. The crust on my slice was also a bit stale, but warm enough. Perhaps my preferences have been spoiled through the years. Sprinkles of applause and cheers filled the restaurant. The Giants baserunner had made it to the home plate. It was a cheerful moment, but not one laden with shouts and chest bumps from out of town hipsters. Just a sort of quiet happiness shared by several die-hard locals. That's always something to appreciate about Irving Pizza. A true neighborhood pizzeria catered to wanderers of Irving street. On game nights, friends and families of the neighborhood gather around a pie in support of their home team. The dream of my personal pizza started to reemerge. Harry Potter has already defeated Voldemort, but my passion for pizza and reading is still very much alive. The open zipper of my book bag revealed a copy of A Song of Ice and Fire. More applauses. I looked up to see that the Giants have won. Perhaps it's a sign for me to fulfill my dream of a personal pizza with the adventures of Tyrion Lannister :)

This place is amazing for being open in those critical hours of 4th meal. They have a wide variety of options--not just pizza--but I recommend the combo pizza. It strikes a good balance between veggies (peppers, olives, onions) and meat (salami, pepperoni, ham, sausage). $21 for 12'' isn't cheap but it's satisfying.
(3)Gigi F.
quite possibly the worst pizza I have ever tasted. no flavor at all the crust is a joke - this place used to be good, but the last 2 times I ordered from this dump are my last! No stars as this crap ended up in the garbage - not even edible!
(1)Benjamin B.
After ordering from irving multiple times, delivery. in, out, carry. My last meal with a burger was even good and cooked perfect. 5 star boom

At first I was really excited to see a NYC style pizzeria so close to my home, but for pizza and other munchies, I've had better. In full transparency, I worked in a NY pizzeria for a few years where we made the dough everyday and the ingredients were mostly organic, so there's little that stacks up to my standards. My complaint with Irving's is that the flour crust is too thick without adding much flavor, and the toppings lack that burst of taste you would get with quality ingredients. A lot of improvement could be seen if they made the switch to oil dough. At the very least they shouldn't market themselves as NYC style pizza - it's far from it. Their subs and beer selection are pretty good though. When I was eating bread, I was a big fan of the Philly sub. Late at night on the weekends all of the bros who've been bulking up their beer muscles at Underdogs show up and, like clockwork, fights break out. I wish the business owners would do more to help here, whether that's not allowing people to group outside or a "if you buy something you have to clear the area" type of rule. There's actually a small, tight-knit community that lives here, but every week we have to listen to drunks who don't live here stomp around our backyards and gripe over "you bumped my girlfriend" or "you mad bro?!" ridiculousness. Overall, it's a good place to get late night drunchy foods or grab a quick sub if you can avoid the lines and the ridiculousness. Pizza is meh.
(2)Chris C.
Ordered a small Irving Special for delivery. $21.Time states 45 mins, but pizza arrived in 65 mins. Meh, guess that can happen anywhere. Although pizza arrived warm (on the cooler side), it was still tasty. Nothing spectacular. Based on my experience, will probably give it another shot....minus the delivery.
(3)Bianca M.
I ordered from here late at night using Grub Hub and was impressed. The sandwich deal, $11.99 for 2, is great and we were able to try the chicken parmigiana and Philly cheesesteak. Both of which were really tasty compared to my other late night grub hub experiences which haven't been very good. I also tried deep fried Oreos for the first time and was surprised at how much I liked them. Nice and soft, not too sweet, and not greasy at all. I had a really good experience from here and I'll definitely order again.
(4)Michelle C.
It's aiiight. Friends and I were walking past to get some snacks from Luca's, and smelled the pizza scent wafting... We had to stop. Ordered a slice of cheese pizza for $3. It was hugeeee & Delicious when hot but became lackluster as it cooled off. Standard pizza, maybe a little bit better than Costco. +1 star for being open super late and chill, laid back vibe.
(4)Sophia M.
Such good pizza and the best ranch! Love the pepperoni sausage pepper and onion combo.
(4)Jason X.
My favorite pizza place in the neighborhood. I usually order #1 or #6. Delivery has always been quick since I live about 4 blocks away. Would be nice if they stayed open til 3am. Senior's is the only place open after 1:30am which delivers to my area. I prefer Irving Pizza's crust over Senior's.
(4)Ben R.
Healthy selection of beer and overall good service. Pizza was pretty average. Very thick crust, would have preferred a thinner crust.
(4)Christophe C.
Pizza shop open at all hours of the night. My roommates and I come here when the going is late and we haven't had nutrition yet. At a few dollars a slice this place is pretty economical as well. It's hard for me to put this on the same level as patxis, but the price point and the convenience are just too important to ignore.
(3)Briget P.
Love that this place is open late when everything else on this street closes early around 9pm. Pepperoni,sausage and melty cheese gets the job done. Convenient place to grab a quick bite.
(4)Robert F.
This spot is cool. Especially if you want to get a sweet slice of pizza. I usually come here to get 2 slices of pepperoni and sausage. They make the slice nice and crispy with b their oven. Just remember to add some crushed red pepper to the pizza for that AWESOME factor. The space is a little small but ok. Get in and get out. Just how I like it. Oh, if you are driving look out for the double parked cars. This area is notorious for this type of parking.
(4)Taylor E.
I wish I could give this place more stars because the pizza is great tasting, the slices are huge, and their prices are relatively cheap, but the service is beyond disappointing. Everyone behind the counter is rude and won't give you the time of day. The employees always seem bothered and are very stingy when you ask them for anything. Order to-go and save yourself the headache.
(2)Mark S.
Hit and miss depending on who's working. Sometimes service is cool and food is great, other times the opposite. There are better options around the neighborhood for pizza etc, but this place does in a pinch.
(3)Max L.
their box says 'born in nyc... raised in san francisco' -- that's probably because they got chased out of ny because of the lousy pizza! Crust awful (it all starts with the crust), way too thick (particularly in relation to sauce and cheese) and seemingly low quality flower (needs to be high gluten) that is all under cooked. Sauce is lame and cheese is seemingly low quality (and quantity) All this for EXPENSIVE prices. (2 slices to go cost me $9.50!) On the plus side, they serve beer and are friendly and it doesn't seem dirty. AVOID.
(2)Karissa C.
Alright pizza and bad everything else. Ordered 2 slices of Hawaiian pizza and an order of large fries. Got my pizza in 2 minutes and waited 10+ minutes for my fries. I told the lady at the counter I just wanted my money back for the fries because my pizza is now cold and she said it'll just be a few more minutes... Umm I've already waited 10+ minutes for a food item that takes literally less than a minute to cook , no thanks. So she just rolled her eyes at me and finally gave me back my money. Tip to the restaurant: if you know your fries take 10+ minutes to cook, then put the pizza in later so it's still warm by the time your customer gets their fries. Also, treat your customers better because maybe after a bad situation like this, they'd like to come back.
(2)George Z.
Pizza here will do in a pinch, but not if you're expecting really good pizza on the go. Before coming here, I heard some good things about this place, but not about customer service. Luckily, I didn't have much trouble with that seeing as I was just getting a slice to go. Ordering the slice was a bit of a hassle as i had to lean over the counter across the glass pane window to ask which slice I wanted. It took a little while than I expected for my one single slice to be ready, but there were television sets around the restaurant to help me pass the time. Once I got my slice, I tried to put down some red pepper flakes on top. I'm not sure what the issue was, but I kept shaking and shaking to no avail. I had to ask for a plastic spoon and screw off the top myself to get into that spicy goodness. Unfortunately after all that effort, the peppers didn't really taste like much despite how much I put on top of my slice. I opted out of the cheese as I didn't expect the cheese to fair any better. The taste of the overall slice is very forgettable and leaves you yearning for something else after a nice walk on Irving.
(2)Brittni T.
Ordered delivery from here two times so far. The first time wanted me coming back for more! With this order, it was delivered before the estimated time and was still hot. I was pleasantly surprised by the mound of toppings on each of my slices that I ordered and the garlic/parsley on top of the garlic fries. Fast forward to this second order. Again, delivered before the expected time and hot! But, I was disappointed to see my mound of toppings.... Scattered in the boxes for my pizza slices. I don't blame the delivery driver like most would, but instead who prepared it, as this time the toppings were not fully cooked so they weren't able to stick to the pizza. Please cook the toppings a little longer next time and please, if you're going to charge for ranch (as you should), at least fill the containers. Both of my containers (each 50 cents) were exactly halfway full. I'll be back again, but likely not as quickly as I didn't feel the same "wow" this time around.
(4)Jade F.
I won a $20 gift certificate to Irving Pizza. I just realized it had an expiration date, so I called in and asked if it was alright to use it. The worker said no. I asked what would happen to the $20, and he rudely replied, "you lost it. It's gone." This is so ridiculous. I mean what kind of pizza place has an expiration date for a gift certificate?? Forever 21 does not have an expiration date. $20 is a lot man. So they just robbed us. The pizza isn't even that great. It's very oily - a heart attack waiting to happen. I definitely do not recommend this place. Senior's around the corner is way better. I recommend the BBQ chicken. Waaay better. Irving is a no-no. Delivery takes over 45 minutes, and I live less than a mile away. The workers are not welcoming. I don't even know why I've been a regular customer for this long.
(1)Stacey P.
The food is Italian wanna be. The staff are non American and rude. They will literally let you sit at the bar but not serve you. Only to tell you to get in line at the front door and then talk and laugh amongst each other at the customers expense. Horrible personal experience. We'll never go back.
(1)Patrick G.
East coaster by birth so grew up with some amazing pizza joints around me so it's tough to find anything that competes to a pie back home. Even with the low expectations of finding a good pie out here this place failed to surpass even that low bar. Burnt toppings, cardboard crust, and a sauce that might as well been ragu. 2 stars bc you did deliver it on time but probably should have taken some extra time focusing on the pizza...
(2)Chris C.
this place! UGH! My family has been customers here for years and buy from them weekly because they're so close and convenient. the food has seldom been a problem but their customer service SUCKS! Wth i had belly rewards worth 100 points and i wanted to redeem them for two large pizzas (each large pizza is 50 points). Yet the cashier guy gave us attitude and basically tried to dissuade us from redeeming our points (i mean what do you expect?? It's a rewards system you voluntarily put into place!) Anyways, eventually he let us order one pizza, but just one! he said "only one per day". WHAT KIND OF BS IS THAT?? Nowhere is it written that we can only redeem one reward a day. when i asked where that condition was stated, he just shrugged and gave us no answer. Real stand up guy that one. we'll be looking elsewhere for pizza from now on.
(1)Ivan C.
I've been coming here since I was a little kid; pizza by the slice never got better. Sitting on the edge of the Sunset district, Irving Pizza has a prime location - just a few steps away from public transit! Their pizza is handmade, fresh, and full of flavour; at about three dollars per slice, a quick lunch is easily affordable. With good vibes and good eats, this is undoubtedly my favourite pizzeria in San Francisco.
(5)Eileen F.
If I could give 0 stars I would. DO NOT ORDER from here!!! Had a pizza delivered that had been dropped so all toppings were off and called for a refund. The manager said he needed to pick up the pizza. He came to our house, was rude and tried to bully me. My husband came down when he heard a man yelling at me and the guy just left the pizza on our porch. He denied a refund because two slices of pizza were gone. If he wanted all the contents he could go through our garbage because we threw it away after deciding it was inedible. I'm filing a complaint with the better business bureau. This is not a way to run a business!! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.
(1)Sergio S.
We used to order from here once a week, it was never great pizza but was ok for the price and quick delivery - they've recently changed their coupon policy and radically raised their prices. $32 for an XL just doesn't cut it, sorry.
(2)Thankie S.
This will just be a short review, as there isn't much to say about this pizza establishment other than the tasty pies they serve. Their pizza slices are, in my opinion, superior to Seniore's a couple blocks up. The dough is not overly thick, but just fluffy enough. Generally, even their pizzas that have been left on the counter for a while are perfectly reheated to a nice slight singe on the sides. The star topping here would be their mini pepperoni pieces, with that delicious outward bowl-curve. Unfortunately, will be docking a star because sometimes their staff might be in a pissed off "dealt with too many drunk people" mood on a late 2:00am Saturday morning. Understandable, but still unpleasant to be tossed a slice from across your counter with the slice slightly tipping off of the plate.
(4)Sam K.
I live in the Sunset district, so this is my "go-to" pizza place in San Francisco. Make sure you try any kind of pizza. Cheese won't leave you feeling you ate a plain pizza. The ranch is free, and there is a wide variety of condiments for your pizza. Also, the employees are very friendly. I'm not sure about the delivery service because I live within walking distance, but I bet they do great in deliveries. There's more of a selection of what they can make in their whole pie than just ordering the slice. And make sure you get "Stampt" on your iPhone. Buy six slices and you get a free slice and a drink. Totally worth it. Go now!
(5)Scot B.
I have to admit that this place surprised me. We've ordered pizzas from here about 5 times now and have yet to be disappointed. In fact, a couple of the mid-evening deliveries were faster than expected and the pizzas were excellent. I'm really not sure what else to add here, but we now have Irving Pizza on our list of preferred places.
(4)Droolie Y.
honestly LOVE the food here. but every single time I've been here, THE SERVICE SUCKS! the rude girls behind the counter are too busy flirting with the old sloppy men and are too lazy to bring you your food. I waited 25 minutes. TWENTY FIVE MINUTES for 9-wings. At about 15 minutes I asked the brunette behind the counter "how much longer for my wings?" she said "oh they take about 15 minutes. IT DOESNT EVEN TAKE 15 MINUTES TO ROAST A WHOLE CHICKEN!!! so i waited and waited and waited. rude, slow, lazy, and did NOT deserve my 2 dollar tip for their $10 for 9-wings. ridiculously over priced. and please. learn to sprechen se engrish better.
(2)Anthony R.
Overpriced in my opinion. They have a decent selection of beers. They usually have "the most popular sporting event" being shown on their tv. Local crowd, and another plus is you can buy pizza by the slice. Pizza tastes better than Dominos, but not nearly as good as North Beach pizza.
(3)David W.
Great pizza, allowed to substitute ingredients on premade menu items at no additional charge
(5)Zachary B.
cheap beer + bomb pizza = the place to go. not to mention, the best quality delivery you can get in the sunset. (order your slice toasty, you wont regret it)
(5)Marisa R.
The biggest brightest thing in the pizza joint is the flat screen televisions blaring whatever football game is on. I went there for the first time recently and the gentleman at the counter almost completely ignored me as he stared, mouth open (really) at the television. I had to ask him three times for my beverage before his head snapped up and he basically threw a can of coke at me. I had to TELL him how much change to give me because trying to do the math when I gave him a $20 + partial change made his brain overheat and his eyes glaze over. They have no ice. What restaurant doesn't have ice? The pizza is as mediocre as Costco. In fact, Costco pizza is better because you have lower expectations going in, and you don't have to wait TWENTY-FIVE minutes for a slice of pizza. I don't care that I can walk to it. I don't care that it's my new neighborhood pizza place. The service sucks. The pizza sucks. Life is too short to give my money to loser business shysters like Irving Pizza.
(1)Christy V.
The pizza is legit, they have TVs , and beer if you're into that. I'm a happy camper. The pepperoni pizza is seriously oily though. Like dripping with oil... Good thing there are plenty napkins to blot your slice! And they are open late, one of the few places I can go to for hot food after I get off work at midnight!
(4)Timothy L.
As already stated, best late night pizza ever. Consistent and cheap.
(5)Bombdiggity b.
if i can give this place a big fat ZERO i would! service- extremely shocked when i called in to ask for an estimated time for pickup after work..staff yells "I DONT KNOW (click)"...how rude?!! i called back and he told me to stop calling. i only called once and had thought we got disconnected. what a fkn bitch! food- i got the cali combo..considering i am a meat lover i was hoping there were some kind of meat topping...when i opened it...there was nothing. i felt like i was becoming a vegetarian for ordering here. NEVER AGAIN will i ever come back here again
(1)Felicity D.
I had Irving Pizza deliver to my home last night (actually, thru eat24). Horrible! My burger wasn't cooked as I'd asked, was tough and the 'trimmings' were about three slices of onion and a wisp of lettuce. No condiments. The garlic fries were old and soggy, with just a sprinkling of garlic on top. Salads ok, and my husband's gyro was decent. I spent a lot of money, but was disappointed. I won't be going back.
(1)Denise B.
Not only do they have good pizza, and apparently a full menu of warm sandwiches and other foods to snack and eat, they also deliver till 2am Sunday through Thursday and 3am Friday and Saturday. Really? Did someone just grant me one of my three wishes? Late night delivery. I heart you Irving Pizza.
(5)Little Miss Picky s.
Ive heard everyone and their MOTHERS rave about this place, but I just DON'T see it. Stopped in last night at about 2am. (The fact that they are open this late is why they get the first and only star) We approach the counter and order a small pizza with chicken and pesto. The pizza cost round 17.00, (Kind of steep) and it took like, 20 minutes. When it came to the table it looked alright.. The pesto was standard, and the crust was something out of a digiorno box,but I was drunk. So... it was acceptable. Then came the chicken: OMG. I am like, 85% sure it was NOT CHICKEN. I've never experienced "chicken" that chewy, that DARK, or that grisly. It was so disgusting! Between the gag-inducing, toppings, and the poor service, I think it's safe to say I won't be returning.
(1)Crystal N.
Good but greasy. Decently priced thin crust pizza. Side of ranch is free.
(3)Natan O.
A favorite spot in the sunset district, Irving Pizza is a great spot to go to for pizza by the slice. Standard prices + a multitude of other options like salad, sandwiches and wings makes me a regular at this neighborhood joint. Pizza is nothing out of this world, but always satisfying. Extra points for having 4-5 solid beers on tap and the fact that you can get a pitcher for $8-10
(4)Jessica B.
True Irving fans have witnessed the evolution of this place. Five years ago, this pizza place looked like any ordinary quick pizza stop. Now, the remodeling is a great pizza ristorante. If you want pizza late at night DO NOT settle for Senores! Senores on 19th is dirty..how do I know? Next time you go there, ask them to use the bathroom. Afterwards, ask them where the sink to wash your hands is....O wait, I didn't see one. Now back to Irving! Never disappointed me. The staff is fun and energetic. They deal with the City's drunkeness with a smile on their face. Any way you want your pizza, they are patient to make it the way you want it. I like jalapeños and pineapple on my pizza. Also, I like my pizza extra toasty...DONE! Only bad experience was when they forgot to deliver my pizza...happens. I have worked in the fast food industry too. I'll give a break to a great pizza service when needed. However, they did the right thing, delivered my pizza free of charge. I didn't have to let the green monster come out :) The varied selection that is ready to be toasted is great. The veggie pizza....mmm warm tomatoes. Pick up a pizza rewards card because I am sure this won't be the first time you come here.
(4)Eve C.
This place is literally a slice of heaven...especially at 3ish in the morning. No judgement please. The slices are huge and greasy..but not too greasy where it will make you sick. It's just enough to soak up the alcohol. The pesto sauce is amazing-ness and so delicious especially in the chicken sandwich. I would add onions to it because I love onions. The morning after slice is just as good. The flavors of the sauce is perfect spice and tang. There needs to be more places in the Bay.
(4)Eddie B.
Now this is a good slice.

Came back from The Fillmore and my friends and I were hankering for some grub. We scouted through Geary, but my friends were looking for something that is filling without having to empty their pockets as much. After cutting through GG Park, we hit Irving and having to push aside the taocs there that I would have gladly chose, we had pizza. This place was exactly opposite from where I wanted to go, but in the end the pizza satisfied my yearning for tacos. The prices for size can make you second guess whether you want to eat here, but I think everyone should give it a shot before they consider eating here another time. We ordered a 14" BBQ Chicken pizza with three Cokes, which came to about $28.00 more or less. We were starving, but conversations killed the time we had to wait for the pizza. (15 minutes wait time for the 14") Now, if you are here alone and want some pizza, just grab a slice or two so you won't have to wait as long. The server was pretty nice, but aside from the service which I can give a B-, the pizza was pretty good. There were two things that caught my attention as I ate this pizza: 1. There was a meager spread of BBQ sauce, if they added a little bit more it would have been perfect. 2. There was corn on this pizza, which I found interesting. I've rarely had pizza with corn on it, but especially on BBQ Chicken. It was a pretty good addition nonetheless. It definitely wasn't the BEST pizza I've had, but it wasn't the worst. I've had mediocre pizza for ridiculous prices and sizes, but these guys did a better job on taste than previous pizza spots. Oh, before I forget.. Don't get the fries. Unless you like unsalted fat potato wedges go for it, but it didn't tickle my fancy.
(3)Theresa N.
Update! Came here again and my memory has failed me. This place is actually good! The pizza is crispy on the bottom, just the way I like it. That's all I remember about the pizza.. dammit memory! The price is a lil steep for pizza but I figure you usually pay that price per person at any restaurant. Again, don't forget your stamps! :)
(4)Kristina N.
It was 2am and we came here because it was the only pizza place open that sells by the slice. Easy to find and ample parking. I wish I had gotten one because it looked delicious! My drunk friends gobbled up their pizzas.
(4)Angela L.
FOOD: 1.) Combo = soft melted fontina goodness nommmy nommm SERVICE: From browsing the other reviews, apparently you should NEVER order delivery. Case in point - We actually didn't even order the pizza but the delivery guy showed up anyway lol. And we said hellyea we want yummy pizza. But sucks for whoever did order the pie.
(4)Justin B.
I thought I would give this place a try this weekend. Well I could have lived with out. The pizza was overall very bland, the only thing I could really taste on a sausage and pepperoni pizza was the sausage. If your looking for tasty pizza this isn't it. There is much better tastier pizza nearby.
(2)kim w.
Open late is the only upside. I had the pesto slice today, and was quite =/ Friend said that EVERYONE loves this place..yeah it was happening at 12am, but my pizza was not happenin'
(3)Jen W.
I ordered from Irving when housesitting in the Outer Sunset. While I give them props for faster-than-advertised delivery and a friendly driver, the pizza was OK at best, nothing special. It's awfully expensive for what you get, too. I sense a little bit of false advertising here: The sauce was bland and the crust thick and chewy, way more doughy than I like it. It's definitely not New York style, as they claim - I lived in NYC and I know what New York style pizza tastes like. It's supposed to be bursting with flavor, and even with two toppings, I barely tasted anything. Also, the garlic bread was very pedestrian for nearly $4. I can make a far more flavorful loaf of garlic bread with cheese for half the price. Anyone can melt mozzarella on a roll and sprinkle some minced garlic on it. A little more flair and enthusiasm, please! I have to say it: the new and improved Domino's recipe has a better crust and WAY more flavor. This recipe is old and tired. Perhaps ordering by the slice is a better way to go; apparently they don't do thin crust for delivery orders unless you know to ask for it? (Of course, if it's "New York style" you shouldn't have to ask....)
(2)Gonzalo O.
I love irving, best memory i have of living in the sunset is coming home on those drunken nights and running over to irving for a cheap slice of pizza and it hits beyond the spot! very nice crew working as well, bring back the stallions though!
(5)Daniel M.
Everything you could ever want from the local pizzeria. Hot tasty pizza, delivered if you're feeling lazy. Also, a good selection of beer at the pizzeria for when you are eating in. The poppers are some of the best I've ever had. On the way home from a 2011 NYE celebration as we were riding the N a pang of hunger gnawed at me. I wondered, could it be, could it possibly be that Irving Pizza would be open at this time? As I like to plan ahead I had their number programmed into the celly. Low and behold they answered, several slices and poppers later... I knew that the year was off to a good start.
(4)A M.
Ordered pizza and wings. Waited an hour. Got a pizza that was dropped and attempted to be put back together. The driver obviously knew. Called and waiting another 40min. No apology or refund. Just a mediocre pizza. Check out the photos to see what I got
(1)Daniel L.
Was walking down Irving with some friends after getting Tea way( something like a Quickly's). I was getting hungry and this was one of the only few places open around 12:00 AM. We walked in and the place looks clean and organized. It also had a flat screen TV. I ordered a slice of pepperoni and sausage pizza. The pizza was pretty good, it was N.Y style pizza, my favorite style of pizza. The crust was thin but not too thin and it had a great crunch to it. They are not cheap with their ingredients so you will get a lot of it on your pizza. The pizza was a little pricey though, 3.75 for a slice.. Overall, this is a great place for a late night hang out spot. My friends and I just chilled there and talked. The atmosphere is calm and cozy.
(3)Lisa T.
Good pizza for late night. Had the pepperoni slice. Super satisfying. GOod price.
(3)Heather P.
I had the best pesto with sun dried tomatoes pizza here. I was a little drunk when eating it, but the line moved quick, the price was reasonable and the pizza stayed with me. I had to walk back by this place on my way home, i almost went back in to get another slice. If you are looking for good, quick slice, this is the place.. YUMMY!!
(4)Belito L.
I have gone here a couple times real late night, fri/sat they are open til 3am. ( I know its in the sunset, ur prolly wondering wtf i was doing out in the sunset...dont ask, jus know I wont fail thee again my fellow SFranciscans :\ ) Very decent pizza for late night, 4/5. With that said only 3/5 during regular hours compared to what else you could get. So this is like a 3.5/5 Got delivery to my apt this time though, the pepperoni here is pretty tasty but DO NOT GET SAUSAGE ON YOUR PIZZA AT THIS JOINT. Unless of course, your one of those kids in elementary school that liked to eat his own boogers. This place is the epitome of booger pizza sausages, flavorless fake n funky..horrible!

Food = okay Wings were dry. Pizza was mediocre. Nothing to rave about. Sandwiches were made to order, decent sized but nothing special either. Service = friendly, but they just take the order, and leave ya alone. Decor = a few tables, some chairs and a TV. Cost = cheap Parking's a pain.

I used to love the buffalo wings. What happened? They're boneless now and are pretty much chicken nuggets. Please bring back the boned wings.

Such a small pizza joint but at a great value! I come here with my friend when we're looking for a cheap, greasy meal. I like to get the pizza combo with a drink. The owner doesn't talk much, but maybe that's because I don't really try to start a conversation. Usually just watches what's on the tv. The only thing I've had is the pizza. A large slab and he pops it in the oven to heat it up for you. Comes out nice and crunchy. It's too bad someone was shot here. It probably lowered the business a bit but I will still come by. If you're in the sunset and want a slice at a good price - hey it rhymes! - stop by.

Just writing this review makes me want Irving Pizza. They have some unique pizza's. Its all about the Green Special: pesto, artichokes hearts, feta cheese, broccoli, and fresh garlic. love love love this pizza. Especially on a drunken night with free delivery (they include it in the price), but still worth it. Also a great spot for events in the park, very short walk.

Oh dear.....where to start. Let's start by saying I don't frequent this place often but once a while, I do drop by for a slice of pizza or two being that it is centrally located and open late. But that is where the good ends. The pizza itself is not that good to be honest but like most of the reviews here, it's the location and hours that attracts the customers. Many prior experience with the staff has been on the neutral side and since I'm not a person who loves to chat and I'm a order and go type of person, it works out just fine for me. However, this last visit was totally unexpected and to say the least shocking. Having ordered out food almost all my life, I have never been treated with such rudeness, particularly by this "big" lady, if I can even call her that. And considering that I work in the service business and own couple myself, I thought I've seen it all, well.....wrong. With such awful service, I don't even need to complete the review of how the pizza taste because for me, I have many places to choose to eat from and will never tolerate any disrespect from people I'm giving my business to. So I stick to my simple rule....just take my business elsewhere and never to visit Irving Pizza again. So Awadalla A, listen up, eventhough I don't frequent this place, you may be losing lots of customers who do all due to unnecessary rudeness. Being a business owner myself, I'm worried for you.

Ew. Ordered a pepperoni pizza tonight and some buffalo wings and so regret it! The pizza dough was tough and the pie was cooked for probably 20 min too long. The wings looked like the kind u buy in the freezer section at your neighborhood grocery store that they proceeded to throw in the deep fryer. $22 dollars I'll never get back and didn't even get to enjoy my midnight snack!!! :( ps. Nothing like new york pizza- don't get your hopes up reading the other yelp reviews
(1)gwynnie p.
The best thing about Irving Pizza is: it's there. It is open and they deliver Sun-Thurs 11am-2am, on Friday and Saturday until 3am. Yep, it's there and it's open, and the pizza is edible, and you can buy slices, and they sell beer and wine and soda. Just noticed they have some weird sounding "House Specials" like the Irish Special with chicken, ham, sweet corn and bell pepper. Sounds like an insult to the Irish and the pizza.
(3)Will S.
Hmmmm if u wanna walk through the kitchen to get to the toilet then this is ur place.. I wouldn't ever eat here again.. Slight food poisoning completed my labour day weekend not Being able to sleep all night/leave toilet ! Not worth the risk Just find somewhere else to grab a slice..
(1)Shock S.
Slices are kind of skimp compared to other places, but price is decent. Can be better, but if you're in the neighborhood, why not.
(4)Alex V.
Best place to tame your late night drunchies.
(5)Katrina W.
I love this place for the pizza and the sandwiches are pretty yummy also. However, every time I go here, I get really crappy service. The man with the glasses always gives me the worst customer service. He is rude and acts like I'm not there when I order. Me and my order seem to always be forgotten. Though the most recent time I went, another employee noticed I was waiting 45 minutes for my order and offered a complimentary drink. That was greatly appreciated. Good Food, really bad customer service.
(2)Ernest S.
Pizza was great! Service-wise... I don't think he talk to me at all.. Basically just took my order and that was it... Fck the service. The pizza was great =) On the downside... I was driving so... I was hoping for a red light for 15 minutes... Didnt even happen. So my pizza was cold, but it taste great.
(4)Steph W.
Welcome to the limited-time, best deal in town is the Scoutmob (50% off coupon) at Irving's Pizza. We got a small combination pizza for eight bucks and some change!!! I have had a lot of pizza in my life, from New York to CA so it is pretty hard to break into the 4- 5-er ranges for me. Iriving's pizza is the joint if you want classic tasting pizza. There are no "bells and whistles" so to speak, despite the many interesting types of pizzas that they offer. For the price, it was good, but I'm not so sure that I would go back, full price. Well, the Scoutmoub coupon lasts till 4/2012 so who knows? =D

After coming from downtown, we arrived in the Sunset around 10PM, but most places were closed. We decided to go to 9th and Irving first, but Kiki's was closed, Marnee Thai on 20 something Ave closed, so we decided to come here. The pizza looks cold and gross when you first walk in. You pick your slice then they'll heat it up for you in the oven, so it looks nice, hot and melted. I had the Hawaiian pizza for $3.50, not bad for a huge slice, and you get a punch card. After 6 stamps, you get a free slice with a fountain drink. I was thinking about giving them 3.5 stars, but they're open late so I'll round up for them.
(4)Haik K.
All the times I've decided to randomly road trip up to SF I've ended up grabbing a bite from this spot. Bomb pizza, good price, and we always end up getting mad stares cause we're the retarded LA out of towners wearing shirts in 40 degree weather. I love the pizza and the fries. Great combination. They're open late too which is great! defintiely good pizza and a great town. keep it up Irving Pizza and SF.
(4)Tania C.
Hm. Pizza at 2am is always good. But I do remember their vegetarian pizza being DELICIOUS. I could go for one right now....
(5)Michelle M.
I love this pizza late at night with ranch dressing. But, I may have to find a new place for this type of thing... Last night, I went in and ordered a slice of pizza. Before paying they say did you want anything else, and I said yes...1 ranch please. They tell me, sorry, we are out. So, my friend and I were like you are out? That sucks, that's the only reason we come here! So we paid and we sat down. Then, a lady brought us out ranch. She was like, we are just trying to limit how much we give out because some people actually come in here and pay for ranch. Um, I did ask before I paid, so charge me the extra quarter or whatever and let me have my extra 100 calories! I always offer to pay, I always ask how much it is, and they never charge...is that my fault? No. Don't lie and tell me you are out of something. Tell me, yes we have ranch, it is an extra (enter price here). Their pizza isn't bad (sometimes it is more fresh than other times), but I just don't like a place that lies to me...especially when I sit down and have flies flying all around my food in your restaurant.
(2)Steph D.
So...I don't really get the deal with me and pizza joints lately. Tonight, boyfriend & I ordered a 3 topping large pizza & 12 buffalo wings - coupon for $23.99 for the entire meal. After ordering we asked what the total was so we'd be prepared for it when they deliver. The total came to bee $27.04. Sounds kind of high, right? I assumed there was a delivery fee included, but the flier stated "FREE DELIVERY" with a $10 or $12 minimum purchase. We call back and say we're going to pick up the pizza instead. The pizza was made quick and our order was waiting for us when we got there. However when we asked about the bill and how they were taxing us, they started getting angry with us! We asked nicely how they were taxing bc 9.5% tax on $23.99 is $2.28, Our total should have been $26.26, but the total was $27.04! They were taxing us 12.75%!!!! We weren't trying to be penny pinchers, we were just trying to understand why we were being taxed MORE. They were being real ass holes about it...we weren't even being rude. The guy opened the register and tossed a dollar at us. We didn't even pay yet, but we should have taken the dollar and said we paid. Ugh. We didn't mean to make a big deal about less than a dollar, but its the principle, right? If they're taxing all their customers 12.75% and they're getting tips upon delivery..they're profiting quite a bit, correct? No more ordering pizza from here...they might sneeze on it. *boyfriend requested a 1 star review bc he has been a customer for 5yrs...so who knows how much money he's been screwed out of.
(1)Michelle G.
Great late night pizza stop. Sell by the slice. Nothing too fancy or to write home about, but an excellent spot for your late night cravings. Also serve good sandwiches and a few various other menu items.
(3)tim l.
Unfortunately this was a terrible experience... I understand that your business had a rush of people come in, but there's no excuse for a cold & burnt pizza (how is that even possible?) Cold garlic bread, and dry, over done buffalo wings... I live 4 blocks away and never again will I order from this place again.. Even if you have a line out the door, there is no reason why food should be cold, burnt and dry... Take your time cooking what you love, instead of creating a bad customer experience... You didn't just lose my appetite, you guys just lost a customer for life...
(1)Hang S.
Great pizza and great customer service. Best place to hang out in the sunset district!
(5)Kortni S.
Sweet late night delivery. Had the Hawaiian special, chopped full full full of toppings, solid crust! Can't speak for the in house slices but delivery was great and the delivery boy was just the right amount of flirty ;)
(4)Tiffany V.
I've been spending an inordinate amount of time in the sunset recently. I was at a party where they ordered pizza from here but I didn't partake. Two days later my friend suggests this place. Assuming it must be good, I agreed. The pizza was incredibly average. It looks like it would taste awesome, considering the amount of toppings but I had to drown it in parm and red pepper flakes. They also only have two containers of each so you have to ask random tables if you can borrow it from them haha. My friend and I both got the veggie slice except I got the last one and he had to wait a good while before another veggie pizza came out. The portion is really good though and I'm sure it would taste amazing if you were drunk. It just wasn't doing it for me. Service was okay. Bathroom was kind of gross. Oh and there was the nicest old man working in the kitchen (which you have to bypass to get to the bathroom)
(3)thekidd b.
Slice of pepperoni and a bottled water $6. The pizza is terrible and is 90% dough . I had to ask for extra sauce as there was slim to none on it . If you are into pizza this is definitely not the place for you
(1)Brian P.
The people who work there are friendly and the pizza has a puffier base bread with a medium level crust which blends really well with the tomato sauce; work the money and by the way... They serve a beer called Scarlet that is perfect partner to your meal!
(5)Michelle I.
If it is 2am and you are heading home and you live in the inner sunset or have to pass the inner sunset to get home...oh and you craving pizza. This is your place. They sell by the slice. Nothing too crazy. You have your cheese, pepperoni, combo, and maybe another something fancy shmancy. The pizza is very decent and hits the spot. This place has been around since I was teenager (so not telling you how old I am) and I can testify they are consistent! Oh and at 2am...praking is def NOT an issue :)
(4)Jennifer A.
4 Stars for good pizza... AND EVEN BETTER RANCH SAUCE! Good ranch sauce to enjoy with your pizza is hard to come by, this place has got the ONE. Just get a slice of cheese, and their free ranch and your done.. but literally any kinda pizza I've had here never let me down, so know yourself out. I ALWAYS go here after a night of boozing. No, really, ALWAYS.
(4)Andrew W.
Ate pizza here since I was in elementary school. Its changed since then but the pizza is still great. If you are a big fan of thin crust and classic pizzas this is the place to go. However, the price has increased over the years. Great place to grab a slice of pizza late at night and drink beer with buddies. What I recommend: -- Pizza -- Beer
(5)Kimberley M.
This is a great place to go for a slice of Pizza and a Beer and watch a televised sporting event. The slices are made right and can make for a very inexpensive dinner unless you are tempted by their recent improvements such as impressive draught Beer. I can't resist Dogfishhead 90 minute IPA in a pint glass, and it isn't cheap stuff but I really only need one of these aromatic and potent brews. The Pizza is very good. Last night I had two slices, one Pepperoni and Sausage which I doused with Tapatio (yum!) and one Hawaiian which was made with actual Canadian Bacon. Decidedly not lazy pizza crust, the gluten in the New York style crust has been developed with care. It is crunchy al dente and never soggy or overly bready. I prefer to come to the location for a slice and a beer than get the whole pizza delivered from Irving. The staff are very friendly and the motley crew of local characters watching basketball or the 49ers, usually solitary individuals alone and together gives the place a warm feeling of togetherness that is missing from many local establishments. They have a cheesesteak sandwich that I have ordered a few times called a "No Hangover Special" Essentially it is a cheesesteak made with provolone and a mixture of jalapeños and pepperoncini. No matter whether I tell them to go light on the peppers I still have to take a few off, but I have probably ordered it at least five times in as many years, It comes with huge yummy steak fries alongside and I feel guilty about asking them to make the sandwich in-store when there are always five fresh pies in the window that might go to waste if nobody ordered it -so I only ever got the sandwiches delivered. If you are ever in the neighborhood, I recommend Irving St Pizza.
(4)Vanessa K.
Not good. Maybe if I was drunk and had this in the middle of the night I would have enjoyed it more. However, that was not the case. The dough was crappy, it was tasteless and too thick. The cheese was the worse cheese ever, thin and tasteless. The sauce, pepperoni and mushroom was ick. Honestly all the other chain pizzas like domino's and pizza hut are way better For anyone who says this is "thin" crust like NYC, you've clearly never been to NYC, or you've had the crappiest pizza there, which isn't possible because even that is better than here.
(1)Wakako U.
I did not want to like this pizza but the pepperoni pizza, toasted in your own toaster oven to make it crispy, is quite delicious.
(3)Yelp R.
Good pizza. Delivers to home. Good go to pizza place.
(4)Leana L.
Called to order a large half veggie, half Hawaiian pizza to-go for some evening bonding time with the potential future roomies. We also got a 9-piece chicken wing order. When we walked down to pick it up, our order was still warm and ready for us! We also got some anchovies on the side and plenty of red pepper flakes. Inside, it seemed like a lot of people were doing the same and waiting for pizzas they had ordered to-go. We took it back to the apartment and dove in. It was a solid pizza. Sturdy crust, not overly greasy, and plenty of veggies! It was comparable to the gourmet veggie over at Round Table, minus the excessive salt. One piece filled me up without being too full. Good to know there's a reliable pizza place in the area!
(3)Melissa M.
I read over a few of the reviews before writing my own and I have to laugh at people complaining about service at a place like this. Um...it's a pizza joint. You walk up to the counter, get a slice and a beer and sit down. What do you want from a place like this?? Service aside, I just wanted to comment on the food. Since I'm originally from NY, I've long since come to the conclusion that you just can't get a good slice of pizza in SF. I'm a pizza snob. I like my pizza thin, my slices large and the crust just right - it has to be crisp but not dry. This place is pretty damn good for NY style pizza. I was impressed. And I will definitely be back. Plus, the beer was so cold, little icicles were forming. Love that.
(4)Vee 2.
Hella greasy but hella good! Chicken sausage pesto pizza! And their wings are DELICIOUS!! Always crave for it! Find your coupons in ads and save some money or get free wings or buy one slice get a free one! Find your coupons!
(5)Anjali V.
- It's a good/average/fairly priced slice of pizza - Plain ol' cheese never fails - Decent beer on tap selection - Staff seems friendly enough SUPER awesome: open ridonkulously late even on weekdays.
(3)Tiff C.
This place is cool. I mean its alright.. the pizza is decent.. pretty good when your'e hella hungry or just drunk.. Haha. The guys that work there remember what I want (and no, I am not there all of the time). They just are good at what they do. Its fast, reliable and open late.
(3)Max Jonathan S.
Can I give 0 stars? Please! Worst experience with delivery I've ever had. First their estimated delivery time was an hour and unless the superbowl is playing there is no excuse for that. If you are so busy that you can't get the food to the customer in less than an hour you need to hire more drivers. Here's why. Lukewarm pizza sucks! But if they could have managed to get me pizza with in their estimated time I could have lived with it. 15 minutes after their estimated time still no pizza and no heads up that they were late. I checked with the eat 24 place that does their online ordering, they didn't know what was up but called the restaurant. The guy had called me "multiple times" and had come to the door but there was no answer. Hmm, thats bullshit! I've no missed calls no one knocked or rang the bell. The dog has been parked in front of the door since I asked him if he wanted some pizza. He didn't hear shit either. Ok, fine. Guy is running late and made up some bs excuse. It's to be expected from a place with management so lax that 1 hour delivery times are acceptable. So Eat24 guy tells me they will send the driver back over and it will be 5-10 minutes. Impatient, starving and a bit pissed off at this point I go and stand outside like an idiot for the next 20 minutes. Finally a phone call. Eat24, the guy has called me "numerous times", went from multiple to numerous they're really trying hard to get me my pizza now, and is waiting outside. Huh! I'm fucking outside and there is no one here. I canceled my order, I've no idea where the driver was or who he was calling but I don't need to eat 2 hour old pizza. Eat24 told me if I wanted to go pick it up instead of canceling that Irving pizza would hold it for me. No offer of a discount but they would gladly let me pick up my 2 hour old pizza DELIVERY. No thanks, cancel my order and let them know not only will they not be getting any business from me in the future yelp and everyone I know will get to listen to me bitch about what a horrible place Irving Pizza is and how they should not waste their time or money with these jokers. My opinion of Eat24 and anyone else that uses them has been somewhat tainted as well. Eat24 had no fault and their customer service was spot on. But man anyone associated with that fiasco can suck it. I'm actually a little pissed at all the people here giving it 4 and 5 stars. You jackasses with no standards are doing a real disservice to the rest of yelp. To sum up: Unless you are craving a lukewarm bacteria farm posing as a pizza, and have the two hours to kill waiting for it, then by all means order from Irving Pizza. If not get your pizza from anywhere else, it has to be a step up. UPDATE: After trying Seniore's Pizza I am left even more puzzled why anyone would EVER go to Irving Pizza. They're about a mile and a bit apart, straight down 19th ave. Seriously, take a bus, take a cab, give them a call and place an order for delivery as you walk your drunk ass home. You'll still get your pizza before you would have from Irving, and not only will it be good it won't make you sick. After reading though the reviews I don't even know how the health department hasn't stepped in, shoes on the prep table, flies all over, old pizza, I lost count of the number of people that said they got sick.

Normally there is a sweet blonde girl that works here but tonight I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with the biggest prick Hispanic dude I've ever met.
(1)Jay R.
Ordered pizza from these amateurs and said that I wanted pickup instead of delivery. Straightened out the confusion 10 mins later, but it took them 1 hr and 15 mins to figure it out. They paused, however, to try to blame me over the phone for changing the medium of transaction. I won't order from them again.
(1)Stank Y.
There was a pleasant young lady that worked here. It was all the reason to eat pizza at this place. More sauce, thinner crust and lighter on the cheese.
(5)Eric W.
The place is kinda dirty and the workers have some stink faces like they don't really want to be there. What happened to the two brothers from before? Now those guys were fun. The pizza doesn't taste as good here anymore, its still greasy greasy but more doughy and chewy. The chicken parmigiana sandwich still hits the spot.
(2)Jer W.
My friend and I went here on 5-16-14 1:00am'sh. I ordered a slice of meat pizza, I think it was about $4. It's decent, good for late evening option.
(4)Danny C.
The garlic fries are just regular cut-up potatoes with garlic heavily thrown on top of them, so they're nothing to write home about, but the pizza slices are cheap, and so is the beer. They do sandwiches and salads as well, but who goes to a pizza shop for that? Bums, that's who. The pizza is your classic greasy slice, and while it's not a NY thin slice, it's still a fairly good west-coast-style, heavy-on-the-toppings slice. Combine with some buds, and two tvs that show Giants/Warriors/Niners games, and it's all good. The seats are super jenky, but whatever. It's a dive pizza shop. At least you can sit and drink and watch the games while slightly inebriated and within a pace or two of more greasy fare. There's also outdoor seating, but it's the Sunset. Come on, who does that?
(4)Mikhail S.
(5minutes ago) I ordered two combos, the guy said $9.10, payed $10,I received back 90 cents. I looked at the price of combo which is listed right on top, it was 3 something, and 25cents for the box (the math didn't add up) the Latin guy working behind the register did not seem like he wanted to give me my receipt when I asked for it, he angrily began to type on the monitor for two minutes, once he gave me the receipt, it said $8.10, then he looked over to the customer after me and said you saw me give him a dollar back right? Wow.... I told him you lost all my business, a dollar is not much to me, its about the principle that counts, beware, they are stealing money, and I grew up in the sunset my whole life, could not believe i was being scammed over a lousy dollar. There have been times i go to underdog which is directly across the street to catch some sporting games, and afterwords i might grab a slice, not anymore. I am really disappointed and I will not recommend this place to any of my clients ever again!
(1)Joe M.
I met up with my buddy in the FiDi after work and we decided to grab a drink and catch up. We rode the train back to his pad and originally planned to hit up Underdog's but it was totally packed so instead we went across the street for a slice and inexpensive beer. I ordered a slice of the sausage and pepperoni with a Sam Adams draught. It took a while to heat up but was pretty tasty and comparably grease-free. The beer was less than $4 a pint and a solid bargain compared to other places in the area and they've got TVs, making it a good alternative to the crowded bars. Service was kind of slow and but the place is a pretty satisfying dive. They've even got a couple tables outside for all of you dog walkers out there. Since they've got late hours, it is a great place to grab cheap eats and drinks and, being the night owl that I am, I'm sure I will be back. Food: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Price: $ Atmosphere: 6/10

Honestly, I chose Irving Pizza because it was late and just about everything else nearby seemed to be closed. I ordered using a phone app, Go Pago, and the order was ready by the time that I got there, which was a plus. The fish and chips ($.7.99) pretty much tastes like fish sticks that you'd get from the frozen food aisle. I know that might sound bad, but I used to eat those fish sticks as a kid, and I guess that I have a special place in my heart for them. So I thought they tasted pretty decent. The three pieces of fish were hot, and crispy on the outside; yet not dry on the inside. They give you little packets of tartar sauce too. The fries, as my boyfriend put it, "tastes like ore ida fries, but fresh." I admit that they did have a nice freshly (not sure if fresh is a good word) fried taste to them. They were really crisp on the outside, yet soft on the inside- pretty decent. I don't know why I went for fish and chips at a pizza restaurant, but it just sounded good. I guess if I'm ever in need of late night food again, I'll maybe try the pizza. Service was very casual and not remarkable, just exactly what I expected. Notes: -They serve pizza by the slice!
(3)Ivan C.
Non existent customer service, very aggressive attitude from the driver. Middle eastern skinny guy with glasses. You SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(1)Jp L.
First of all, I've been a customer here for about four years. Always enjoyed their "California-style" pizza. Topping laden, fluffy crust, quickly executed. My wife and I recently came back to the neighborhood (we moved away about a year ago), and we were distressed to see this place devolved into a trashy late night hang out for the usual drug addicted crowd that hang out near golden gate park. The food is still spot on; however, (to the owners) stop letting your employees hang out with beers purchased from outside the building with their friends. It has an air of disrespect that I want to not have my money going towards.
(3)Laura A.
Got a cheese pizza, fried oreos, and a two-liter of soda delivered (was feeling sad, ok? don't judge). Everything was average. Wouldn't go out of my way to order again. They had free delivery at least!
(3)Landon E.
Nice pizza place with a nice selection of different types of slices. Nice ambiance too, very casual and quick. Seems rather authentic. The pizzas themselves are just mediocre, great for a quick meal or snack but not quite worth it for a sit-down meal experience. The taste is definitely elevated by adding oregano and chili flakes but ideally it wouldn't require the addition. Lot of potential to be an excellent pizzeria.
(3)Andrew M.
Irving Pizza admirably fills the desperate void that often springs up past normal dinner times. Does Irving Pizza offer a great pie? By no means. Grease freely flows from each slice of the combo; the amount of salt on the each slice is probably an ancient civilization's fortune; and the toppings are anything but fresh. Moreover, the seats are dingy, the tables are tiny, and loud drunks freely flow in and out of the place. However, the magical combination of a slice and the dark of night makes Irving Pizza palatable. Though severely processed, the toppings are plentiful; the crust is crispy and resistant to sogginess; and the price of each large slice is fair (do use the Scoutmob discount on an x-large). My return to Irving Pizza is inevitable.
(3)Veronica N.
Fantastic place with amazing service. I ordered from here using the GoPago app and they communicated well and I simply just went in a picked up my order hassle-free. I ordered a no-hangover philly cheesesteak and a bacon burger for my friend. I have to say the philly cheesesteak was crazy good and they were kidding when they said there were going to be a lot of jalapenos, just how I like it! They also gave a bunch of thick cut fried with each item we ordered which was great! Would definitely come back without a doubt.
(5)Jensen L.
Small, cozy pizza joint. The pizza was pretty good and what I expected from a pizza place. These are all decently proportioned regular crust pizza. Pros: 1. good pizza Cons: 1. I can't say anything stood out about the place compared to other pizza joints. But, there also wasn't anything bad that caught my eye. It was a pretty standard pizza place.
(3)Jason B.
Pizza. Sandwich. Together. You often find sandwiches on pizzeria menus. Not as often will you be encouraged to create your own just like a pie. Just like with their namesake start by choosing your toppings. Selected grilled chicken, tomato and artichoke hearts. French roll and marinara sauce come standard. Everything together they very good. Priced right at six bucks. Was headed towards a fourth star but the food was served a bit cold despite being wrapped in foil. Few extra minutes in the oven would likely have meant one extra star.
(3)Shauna S.
So it's 11:30 PM and we just missed the window of our favourite Indian pizza place and we're searching for a vegetarian option. This is the spot that still delivers at that time. Quite the save that night. Anyhow the pizza is good -- very tasty which just the right blend of sauce, dough, and veggies on top. This will definitely be a staple for late night pizza or dinner saves.
(4)Melissa N.
This place is so delicious! I was kinda sorta but not really in a rush to get to Golden Gate Park for Outside Lands, but at the same time, didn't want to spend money on park food, so I stopped here and bought a slice of vegetarian pizza. It was sooo good! It had the perfect amount of veggies, cheese, and deliciousness. I had to ask for extra olives, so they took my pizza to the back and melted the olives into the cheese. YUM. They also serve beer here for pretty cheap too. :)
(4)Caitlin D.
Awful. Stood there for a minute before the guy even noticed me. I got the meatball sub and its just terrible. Barely any marinara sauce on it and the meatballs are some of the worst ive ever eaten, super rubbery and gross.
(1)Katie K.
You might call me bias, but IRVING PIZZA is the best pizza place in the neighborhood!!! 5 stars for great vegetarian pizza on slices, the one with pesto sauce. And late night pizza to satisfy crazy late night cravings, how many other places are open at this time?)

I got the Hawaiian and I thought it was just OK. I'd go again, but not as good as other places in the neighborhood and service took a little longer than average.
(3)Try E.
Place is OK. But I think it got worse with time. The wings are good, but not as good as they used to be before. Pizza is alright when you are drunk at 2AM but tried it sober - what the f** is it? Definitely not a place to go if you are not drinking - I think I got overcharged there too.

Placed an order on my gopago app today for an xl hawaiian style pizza and an xl self built combo. Order was ready in 30 minutes as promised and the pizza was delicious. They even listened to my instructions for creating dividing the pizza into more slices. The crust was good and not too dry, the toppings were fresh, and the sundried tomatoes were awesome as expected. I guess you won't need to be drunk to enjoy this pizza joint!
(5)Miles M.
Ok "no hangover" Philly cheesesteak cured the hangover , no problems , just great and delicious .. Aww finally ..

I only came here because I was really hungry, and it was close by. It was late at night, so I wasn't thinking straight since I'm always hesitant to go to this place. Thanks to the 2 horny clerks behind the counter who left my slices in the oven too long and burnt both of them. While my 2 pizza slices were sitting in the oven, they were spending too much time talking to a 21 year old blonde woman. How do I know this? One of the clerks asked how old she was...probably making sure she wasn't jail-bait. The older dude who is usually there has no smile every time I've gone while it's packed, but dude had a smile from ear to ear this time. Go figure. Oh yea...the pizzas still sucked.
(1)Christopher M.
The pizza is okay at best. It sits on warmers for too long and doesn't justify the cost. As a local I would have assumed they would have treated me with a little more respect. It's just a big assembly line with these folks.
(3)Preston B.
Rude service, gross pizza.
(1)Ingrid B.
My favorite pizza place. Favorite pizza Ranch Sauce and California Special! Small place, clean, they deliver in timely manner. All the guys working there are nice and professional. They have other stuff there, but pizza is my and my kids favorite!
(5)Tammy T.
2AM + Drunk = just OK... Isn't everything suppose to taste amazing while drunk? I've lived across this place for about 4 months now, and it smells like it has a lot of potential, but execution is blah and nothing fantastic. I rather just go back to my apt and sleep, w/o the regret the next morning.
(2)Christopher L.
If you like being really healthy and watch everything you eat, might as well GTFO now =/ I never crave to come here, but I'm always down if someone else wants pizza. This is one of my favorite by the slice joints! With Scoutmob's recent 50% off deal, $2 a slice is super legit. YES the pizza is greasy, YES it's a fat slice, YES slap a ton of parm and peppa flakes on it, YES get a second slice! Delicious whether you're sober or not! There's also a good handful of beers on tap! Definitely check it out if you're in the area.
(4)Justin S.
Something about this place sucks. Unfortunately it's the only pizza joint within walking distance of my house so I'm stuck coming here but this may be the deal breaker for me living in the Sunset. The ingredients on their pizza are good and they take the time to warm your slice but the pizza is soggy and the crust is not all that great. And even if that was better the overall experience is not up to the minimum standard of fine pizza establishments around this fair city.

It's New Year's Eve and the clocks ticking. Haven't eaten since early that afternoon and everything was closing up or already closed; what's left that's open? A bar we passed with an already half drunken crowd outside and this place, Irving Pizza. Way to bring in the New Year with some greasy pizza! I elected on the combination slice. Their pizzas are of the thinner crusted variety, and like the usual routine with places that sell by the slice, they pop the pizza into an oven for two magical minutes and presto. Pizza's ready. Maybe it was the occasion or timing, but the number of different slices sold on the spot was limited. Besides the slices sitting there waiting to be bought like puppies at a pet store, they also have an assortment of different specialty pizzas they make fresh. Some of them looked interesting, but given the moment it wasn't a choice. Side note to start here, if you're vertically challenged like my Bun, the counter might be a little high from my recollection. I went to pay and they handed the pizza to Bun. Let's say, she was close to having to jump ball for it. I had a laugh out of it, not so much on her end. My first bite indicated a sound crispiness which lead to a fair assumption to say, the oven was working. It had a reasonable amount of toppings and was a good size. My serving had more cheese than expected, but I'm throwing that into the case of random sampling. For a hangout spot, it's not the most recommended. The limited televisions aren't positioned in the best angles and the seating is a little run down. When it comes to pizza locations like these, it's just fast food; loads of choices, but not a lot of deviation from taste. Compared to its neighborhood peers, I'd say it's on par. Even though you'll pay a few quarters more than the usual for a slice, the thin crust pizza at Irving Pizza isn't bad. For a convenient and quick bite, it's all right.
(3)Daniel C.
This was some really great late night pizza! Perfectly hit the spot. (There were some crazy people fighting in a nearby doorway though. Almost needed to call the cops.)
(4)Maritess N.
Thank you IP for always being there after my drunken nights in SF. It isn't a good night until my friends & I end it eating a slice at Irving Pizza. Its a good solid pizza & will help you sober up after a night of shenanigans. The staff is always nice & its cheap. What more can you ask for?
(4)Ms. Frank T.
I am surprised that Irving Pizza is rated at only 3.5 stars. I absolutely love this place. Its stays open with hot inexpensive savory good for all of those who need to sober up after a late night. In my opinion, Irving pizza has probably saved hundreds of lives! I have had a variety of their pizzas since I usually get there late. All very tasty!!!!' Insider tip: Scoutmob has a deal for 50% off pizza up to 10$. Feel awesome after you drink away all your cash :) Also if you buy 9 stamps you get one freeee!!!! Free pizza after a long night ? Score!
(4)Eric M.
I first tried this place during the gopago launch and my initial thoughts on their pizza was that the ingredients are fine, but the bread just didn't cut it for me. Now, after having it on a number of occasions I can say I don't really care much for this pizza. They should take a page out of the seniores pizza playbook and come back with a better product.
(2)Gajan K.
There's nothing quite like going out drinking around the city on the weekend and knowing that you can stop by here and sober up with a good slice of pizza and some disgustingly delicious jalapeno poppers til 3 a.m. Now when I saw "disgustingly", I'm not referring to the taste because these little pieces of food are quite amazing. I say disgusting because of the queasy feeling you'll get when you wake up the next morning after eating a bunch of them. (But if you're gonna keep munching down on these things like I did, you are kind of asking to feel that say. D'oh) But with all that said, the food here is great, regardless of whether you get their pizza or their sandwiches, and with their willingness to be open late into the night, this place is always a great option, one that I know I personally will keep going to after nights of partying.
(5)Nebiyou k.
As much as this is a pizza joint and I don't expect much customer service, I have to say that the guys behind the counter seem rude and my delivery took more than an hour, when I live just a couple of blocks away. So yeah not that great.
(1)Mai W.
Tasty, greasy, giant slices of New York style pizza. Perfect if that's what you're craving. Greek salad was okay. Yummy feta and tasty tomatoes. May not reorder the salad. Service is fairly non existent and sadly they don't deliver to my neighborhood. If I'm in the area again, I may grab another greasy slice.
(3)Payal B.
This review is for late night eatout, especially on a weekend when you are soo drunk and suffering from the usual after-party craving to hog on anything before crashing on the bed! The best bet for the Sunset is right here!! A slice of heavenly pizza! Hot slice filled with toppings, grease dripping but WhoTF cares! The combo, pepperoni, veggie , pesto, mushroom n cheese - all are great, with an extra help of parm n chilli flakes on top!! And maybe more cold beer?? Pros : 1. Hot slices filled with toppings 2. Open till 3am on weekends! 3. Very quick service 4. Cheap cheap cheap! just $4 a slice!! Go back home happy wasted to be back next weekend again!!
(4)Alexander Y.
Pizza. 2 AM. Drunk food. Nuff said.
(3)Lowell Z.
Perfect spot to whip into when you're sick of Vietnamese and/or Japanese food... Good crust on the "by-the-slice" pies, and it's a quick stroll to the GG Park West playground and trails off MLK Drive. Recommended if you're in the area.
(4)Matt C.
I think their pizza is just fine. But its really the rest of the menu I like. Pretty much anything that Irving Pizza deep fries, is good. The buffalo wings rock! The chicken sandwich - a guilty pleasure. Fish and chips - at 2am hell yes! Plus you can grab a beer there which is a pretty great way to end a night out.
(4)Lauren L.
Satisfying pizza place that's open and delivers late. What more can you ask for? Perfect place to stop for a slice after a night of drunken shenanigans, bwahahahaha! Easily accessible from the N, 71, 28 and 29! Also yummy BBQ wings. It's always nice to sit and eat a slice here because it's so casual. The staff usually has their eyes glue to whatever sports game they have on.
(4)Jessica T.
The beauty of this place is their closing time. It's truly inspiring to be able to score late night delivery and a thick doughy slice of greasy pizza till 3pm . Yeah, get this: Irving Pizza delivers till 2am Sunday through Thursday and they deliver till 3am on Friday and Saturday. That is a glorious statement. Especially when you haven't eaten anything all day and know that you have an empty refrigerator to look forward to. And the pizza... The pizza is solid. As well as their hot toasted sandwiches. In fact I am sitting in my Scion zipcar right now typing this, while the Eagles' Hotel California croons from the radio, as the overwhelming smell of hot marinara sauce still lingers. A reminder of the veggie laden, marinara covered, toasted sandwich I just inhaled. Bringing me to a solid conclusion: that life is good. Life is very good. Trust. Oh and PS - for some truly wowing late night scarf sessions - go to 24/7 Donut World and order a microwaved apple fritter - and then get your Irving Pizza pie delivered there. Mind boggling. Mind boggling.
(5)Thomas G.
Just moved to the city and ordered from Irving Pizza twice so far! I placed a delivery order both times and both orders were on time and the pizza was delicious! I recommend this place to anybody wanting quick and delicious pizza!
(5)TeeBee K.
Good food. HORRIBLE delivery guys. One of them calls from down the street ( I live in a perfectly accessibe house btw), makes you wait at the door (this has happened 3 times) and then literally tries to run away with your change. The last time I ordered from them he delivered the wrong pizza and I called in and no one fixed it. When I called the next day they told me, "That sucks." NEVER AGAIN.
(1)Rene L.
I ordered a chicken parmigiana sandwich, it was pretty good my boy ordered the chicken wings and they were delicious a Lil xtra fried but other than that it was good..... This beats eating pizza all the time lol
(4)Chelsey G.
I must have been just extremely hung over and needy for sustenance. I tried again and this place sucked. soggy crust, sloppy low quality cheese. ):
(2)Adam B.
So this is what the pizza tastes like when sober? I hate pizzas that look like they might be NY-style, but end up as a horrible imitation. Best to come when your only other alternative is passing out somewhere. Cheese Slice: The bottom had no crispness at all. The darn thing flopped over limp when held by the crust like a bad Cialis ad. The sauce to cheese ratio was good, but the cheese seemed overly greasy. I did appreciate that they at least have the sacred four: pepper flakes, garlic powder, oregano and parmesan cheese.
(2)Karen T.
I used to love this place! Minus one star because I think they changed the recipe with the new owners. It's great because it's open late at night after drinking. Pizza was always nice and crunchy on the bottom and good thin crust. Now I don't go there as much after the stabbing and shootings going on near this place. Pizza not worth getting killed for.
(3)Chantel Y.
the pizza slices are HUUGE! Pretty satisfying- and with Scoutmob, they are only $1.75 a slice! What a dealllll dangggg
(4)Roy N.
Great late night pizza...way better than it has to be, especially for that hour and so convenient. The perfect place to hit after a fun night of drinking. Surprising amount of parking there late night too, although if you've been drinking, you probably shouldn't be driving there. Anyway, we popped in here after leaving Philosopher's and I was glad we did. Place was bright, clean, and the people were nice. Despite it being late Sat night, there were no drunks or rowdies this time which amazed me. Perhaps I caught it during the calm before the storm. Pizza was delicious and I was happy I didn't have to brave the edgy late Sat night crowd at Seniore's.
(5)Kate G.
My boyfriend and I are a fan of Irving Pizza's pizza -- medium crust with a good amount of cheese -- but Irving's delivery drivers are the absolute worst. On several occasions (at least three), our pizza has been delivered 1.25 to 2 hours after we placed our order. Yeah, that's right: TWO hours. I don't know what happened to the days of 30 minute delivery, but two hours is ridiculous. Bottom line: if you don't mind waiting, order. If you'd like to eat in a timely manner, Irving is not your joint.
(1)Sara K.
This place is great -- their pizza is always really good and their slices are ginormous! They've got a really great selection of pizzas ready to be served by the slice, but have a wide variety of other items on the menu. They've also got a really good selection of beers! More so than other places I feel. And if you're here with some friends and don't want to spend a lot of money, you can always order a slice and and split an $8 pitcher. Gotta love that! Sadly this place is overshadowed by the Taco Shop across the street, but Irving Pizza gets a lot of the overflow from people who couldn't grab a seat at the Taco Shop to watch the game. I usually just pick to come here first -- I'm usually always guarenteed a comfortable seats to watch my Giants on TV :)
(4)Merland S.
I could get better pizza in Italy. pizza is a great italian dish that i discovered not too long ago. i was sick of dating and girls so i decided to dial up some pizza delivery service in my own home. that's where irving's pizza came in. well, an hour after i called is when they came in, but not into my good graces. i was starving my butt off and waiting forever for some 'hospitaliano' but my delivery boy must have been playing around on his razr phone because it was cold and congealed. i had a couple of slicings and was sick, so i gave the rest to my fat roommate Humphrey. now i'm perturbed and reconsidering making Domino's my go-to for italian.
(2)Ken L.
Wow, people are really divided over this place; most seem to love or berate it. I'm in the love it camp. They are open late. Late late late - Thank you!!! My review is based solely on their 'by the slice' pizza, and I usually stop by late at night after a show, drinking, etc. It's not gourmet pizza. It can't be healthy - check out that grease! But damn it's good. When I get one slice I typically crave more. I've gotten two slices and that's a bit much, unless I'm pretty hungry. I recall not liking their pesto as much, but I'm a big fan of their veggie, pepperoni, and just plain cheese. Several of these reviews point out the high cost of the slices, but you know what, they're fairly big slices. I actually have no issue with the quantity and quality I get for the price. There are some other places I can think of where I pay less and get less, and a lot less satisfaction. I'll pay for some satisfaction.
(4)Myles T.
Hands down best drunk pizza in SF. Every time I walk past this place, the smell sucks me in and makes me order a huge Veggie slice, complete with roasted garlic on top. Once I ordered a sandwich here... I wasn't so impressed, so my advice is stick to the pizza. Also good to know, they have some great beers on tap that are worth trying out!
(4)Jim W.
Scratch that, maybe you'll get delivery, maybe not. This joker of a delivery driver calls my cellphone from the street (we live in an apt building) and says that if we want our pizza, we're going to have to go and meet him on the street. WTF? Said he won't bring it to our apartment. That's a new one. We have a key pad (standard) for which delivery people will find our names and ring the apartment (also standard) so we can buzz them in for door delivery (again, standard). He said he'd gone far enough, but did manage to irritate a few neighbors pushing random buttons on the pad. Yep, had to go down to the street to get our pies. What a putz.
(1)Austin N.
Before judging so quickly based on the average stars.. click on the "Elite" tap of the reviews, and you'll notice the majority of us that reviewed Irving Pizza gave them a positive review. That doesn't go with saying that those who aren't Elite do not know how to review without a bias.. but some of the reviews I'm reading are truly disappointing, and I'm speaking about them personally. When I'm traveling in the sunset, I can't help but to grab a slice of combo here. I guess everyone prefers their own style of pizza, to me.. if it taste good it taste good. I have no clue what Chicago style, or what style is. In fact, I don't really care what style it is.. it's pizza and good! Anyways, whatever style this actually is.. their crust is thinner than the average and it's crunchy. I can literally hold it up and eat it rather than something soggy you can get at Costco's is also good). They always toast the pizza when you order by slice so that way it's crispy and hot. I must say that every time I've eaten their ever since H.S, I was ALWAYS satisfied. To me this isn't the average pizza joint like Domino's or Round Table, it's unique. If you were to compare with well known joints, I'd say Pizza My Heart would come close, but I'd take Irving Pizza over them. The people their are a hit and miss sometimes, but usually they're kind asking you how's your day, etc etc the typical small talk. Small talk is always better than NO talk.
(4)M D.
Best NY slice around. Take the 28 to get here.
(5)Valentino L.
If you're looking for a place to grab a pizza(s), drink a cold beer, and watch some sports, this is it! I've only been here once and the pizza was amazing! Everything is prepared fresh right before your eyes and they serve up some HUGE slices. Prices are reasonable as well. My only pet peeve was the speed of service. To be fair, there was only one person working.
(3)Aaron K.
This place has been around for a while and I always wanted to try it out - so this week I did. It was a big mistake. I ordered a slice of combo pizza and decided to add anchovies on top. They piled up the anchovies and added a few more strands of cheese before reheating the pre-made slice. The anchovies overwhelmed the rest of the pizza; I had to pull off most of it. The pizza's oil soaked the box; I am still trying to get the stain off my pants. The pizza itself lacked cheese; I wondered why the topping kept on falling off. Overall, it was a very disappointing pizza experience.
(1)Amanda C.
The combo pizza they have by the slice is awesome! Full of toppings including crunchy fresh veggies and some pretty decent sausage (it can be so loaded that the toppings fall off lol--not complaining!). The jalapeno poppers and garlic fries are bomb but the philly cheese steak sandwich was just alright.. the meat is a little dry and there wasn't enough cheese :( I haven't been in the restaurant in a while but the delivery is fast and they've never forgotten anything in my orders. Definitely a reliable place
(3)Bob R.
My wife and I ordered pizza from here last night. We had a medium cheese and didn't specify any further. The pizza came quickly and the ordering process was fine. Unfortunately, that was the last of the pleasant part of the night. The pizza was way too thick for NY style pizza. That's fine, I know that I'm in Cali. My wife felt that the sauce was tasteless. I would have preferred it to have been tasteless. In fact, I think it was bad. The sauce was bad, the cheese was bad, the whole thing was bad. As hungry as I was, I couldn't finish one whole slice. If we had just left it at that, I would have given it maybe 2 stars, but we didn't. My wife woke up in the middle of the night sick. Yes, the cheese pizza had made her sick. That's not good to hear. We won't be going back, nor do we understand why people like this crap. Go get some good pizza folks.
(1)sharon s.
food is very average. cheese pizza tastes exactly how i would expect, it's decent but can't say it stacks up to those cheap & great tasting pizza joints strewn around NYC. ordered the garlic fries. tastes like those steak fries you get from the frozen food aisle with a bunch of minced garlic thrown on top. wasn't really a fan. wasn't that flavorful... one plus is that it is one of the few restaurants that is open late in sunset. not sure what the 4-5 star reviews are from? i think eating this sober vs drunk makes a difference.
(3)Amy L.
There aren't a lot of good pizza options in San Francisco, at least not for someone like myself who's originally from the North East and takes her pizza very seriously. But Irving Pizza really is delicious and a slice above many others in this area! My favorite pizza here is the Ground Beef and Ricotta....ooooooh, it's soooo good!!!! Gooey and beefy and delicious!!! My partner really digs the sausage pizza, and my mother always gets chicken and vegetables, because she's more adventurous than I am with her pies. We happily use their coupons for take-out and delivery (we often pick up because we live nearby), and also have a slice card for when we're walking by and are driven in by the intoxicating aroma of pizza....mmmm...just thinking about it makes my mouth water! Basically, I'm a fan. It's no New-York-style slice, but it does the trick when I'm looking for a solid pizza experience! Oh, did I mention they're open late? Smart, especially since they're right across the street from a bar...
(4)simon k.
Best pizza in San Francisco. crispy buttery crust, tasty meats, fresh vegetables all call for an excellent pizza. Definitely my favorite spot for pizza in SF. a full pizza is like 30 bucks.. but well-worth it cus it tastes better than dominoes, pizza hut, round table etc. get supreme.. its a must try!!
(5)Nancy N.
I come here for lunch occasionally. Pizzas are pre-made and they're set behind viewing-windows. Once you enter, you'll see what's available right away. They heat it in their oven before giving it to you, it's just as good. There's a lunch combo where it includes a slice of pizza and a fountain drink for less than $4. :) I usually get pepperoni and you can see the oil being cupped onto each pepperoni. Yea, their pizzas are more greasy than most places, but.. just pat the grease down with napkins!!! Oil's what makes pizza THAT good!
(4)Libra J.
EFF YOU IRVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate you for being ridiculously late after you called me an HOUR ago to tell me you're outta fresh basil. I figure this dope on the phone has my sandwich in his hands and is preparing it. So now it's been sitting around for AN HOUR. You stupid dumb pizza people!!!!!!!!! I am so angry!!
(1)Cori W.
Ehhhh. I tried to come here this weekend to indulge in some veggie pesto slices. They only had 2 pizzas made and they looked like they had been sitting for a while. I asked if they were going to make a cheese or veggie and got a blatant "no". Why must they do this to me?! Make fresh pizzas damn it! Do you want to make money? We ended up leaving empty handed and ordered from Escape From New York instead.
(3)Huntting B.
So, I went there the other day for lunch. They do slices, and they are pretty large. And then a pepperoni slice is only 3.25. The pizza isn't super thin, and the dough is very doughy tasting. The real only downside to this place was that the pizza was served out lukewarm to customers. The pizza is also pretty greasy. While I was eating the slice all of a sudden I had a lot of grease running down my hand. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though, great post hangovwr and sometimes you just want a greasy slice of pizza.
(4)King L.
This is my go to place for a late night slice. Not the best pizza but it serves it's purpose. I always try to look a all the pies and I get the one that looks like they just made it....
(3)Andrew B.
I'm not a picky pizza eater. So don't take the two-star as a, "I didn't like this place" type of two-star. It's just that I've eaten so much pizza, and like it so much, that I can't give it any more than two stars. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was pretty good. It had a really good garlic flavor and creative topping combinations. I ate quite a bit. However, it didn't wow me any more than ordering from a typical pizza place would. Which is to say that, it's not terrible pizza. I would like to go back and try their New York style by-the-slice pizzas but as far as their standard pizza goes, it's not going to be the best you've ever had but it's definitely not bad. Maybe a tad overpriced. Still, if you're craving pizza and don't want your typical delivery pizza, this is a viable option for you. Cheers!
(2)Kevin S.
Mmmm nothing but a good ole pizza, If you're hungry come here!! Got some clean seats and fresh pizza. It turns hipster at night, and a lot of drunk people. Which is entertaining hahahaha. I live like 5 blocks away. Easy walk home, plus it's still hot when I walk back. Anyways it's also close to gg park if u wanna sit and eat there... Idk? Same concept as why ppl run in the part this late too....... 12am... Id come back cause it's fresh n good
(4)Calvin K.
I ordered 2 slices of pizza eating in for $4 each. Register rung up $9.50 instead of $8.70. Please tell me how taxes for $8 worth of pizza comes out to $9.50, it doesn't. Shops like these take advantage of people who just don't pay attention to the prices and just hands them cash/credit. I corrected the cashier(younger hispanic guy) and he gave me the stink eye and aggressively yanked my credit card out of my hand. After i had paid, i know he was trash talking with his colleague about this transaction. Watch out for these dishonest and greedy cashiers. *Had to watch my pizza come out to ensure no foreign toppings was added" They were going to take advantage of me over .80cents. It's not about the 80 cents, it's about running a company with integrity. Obviously, this one does not.
(1)Art H.
We ordered over the phone and want pizza be delivered. They were in time. Pizza was not fresh. It looks like they just added the topics I wanted over precooked pizza. Smell is weird. $26 ($30 w tips) for mid size pizza this quality is a lot. Hope it was a single case happened and they will find a nicer way to use previously refused/undelivered pizzas.
(2)Jamie S.
Stopped here before class for a quick bite to eat. Ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza as I thought "if a place can't get regular pepperoni right something's gotta be wrong," and also ordered buffalo wings. The pizza was a little on the greasy side but pretty good none-the-less. Both my cousin and I would definitely go back and perhaps order a pitcher of PBR next time. On the other hand, the buffalo wings were deep fried and bland. I was disappointed and thought pouring their watered down version of ranch would help, but to no avail.
(3)Mace M.
Great pizza by the pie, or the slice!!! I love the vegetarian pizza, the chicken pesto, and their pepperoni, they are all so delicious!!! They're also great for delivery, and they make it oh so easy! Jump on their website, place your order, and in thirty minutes you're eating from the comfort of your couch!!!
(5)M B.
Not bad, though the crust is definitely not thin. Also could use more tomato sauce on the pie. On the plus side, delivery was actually faster than promised on a Saturday night.
(3)Don H.
This place has great pizza. The kind of pizza that is not for the faint of heart, or those assholes who dab the grease off with a napkin. The food garnered all of the stars for this review, because to call the service unsatisfactory would be like saying "House of the Dead" is kind of a bad movie. When my friend Don and I moved to the Sunset and set up base camp here he nicknamed it "Mongoloid Pizza" because of the brainiacs manning the counter. I don't think the guy we used to get pizza from could remember anything for more than 10 seconds. If you got out of there with only having to repeat yourself 5 times, it was a damn good day. I'm not sure I've ever been charged the correct amount for my food, but didn't want to argue for fear an all-night debate over $.50. Also, the place is roughly the temperature of the average sauna on full blast, even with the door wide open. If you have the patience of Jobe and enjoy greasy food you have found your Elysium.
(4)The P.
GOOD. Get the fried chicken tenders with french fries or the veggie sub with marinara. Good thick french fries.
(4)Marie H.
U can definitely get better pizza almost everywhere else. Dont go here, they suck. Since they are open til the early A.M they allow the place to overcrowd and for people to literally get killed. If they would close down earlier and follow their facilities fire hazzard max capacity rule, 2 men would still be alive today.
(1)Penelope l.
The slices are huge and tasty Pizza is greasier than the average.... Hours are good.
(4)Nick M.
One of the few places that sells slices, especially past 1am, which is the only time I am ever there. It is the ultimate place after some sunset bar hopping when you need some drunk food. The main guy who is behind the counter must be a millionare by now since I have dumped a couple hundred bucks into this place over the past year and a half. Also, they are great when it comes to field trips with young kids. I took a group of about 20+ kids here for a pizza party, and they majorly hooked us up, and during lunch time no less! They pushed together the tables, got the food out to us quick, and even comped us our sodas. If I could give these guys 6 stars I would, just for their customer service!
(5)Jeffrey D.
I love SF and the only thing i miss about NYC is the pizza - but I have to echo the former-East-Coast pizza cognoscenti who have posted here: this is the closest thing to NYC pie here in the holy fog. I can only speak for delivery. Crust is properly thin and crispy. Sauce is multilayered and appropriate. Cheese is a bit heavy, but the great ingredients make up for this very slight, admittedly tasty concession to pop pizza tastes. Thanks guys, now i have no reason to miss 'the Other city.'

Veggie Combo. Enough said.

Definately not the best pizza on the block. It is pretty much always dry and nasty! Most of the time I've been there in the last few months there is no sauce on the pizza and it looks like its been sitting out for a few hours. I think I'll pass.

I've had pizza from this place a few times, it's good. It's a little pricey for what you get. If you can find coupons then it brings the price down to normal. My roommate and I got 2 medium 2 topping Pizzas for $24.00 ($30 after tax and tip).
(3)Antonia R.
This is my favorite pizza place, I love irving!!! I usually get pesto pineapple or plain cheese pizza...soo good. Also, the Philly cheese steak is delicious. Delivery can be slow sometimes but if you're too lazy to go down there, it's worth it.

Constantly my go to when the cupboards are bare, quick, easy and tasty does the trick in a pinch.

The pizza is nothing special but it's open til 3am so who am I to complain? It's just standard pizza after a night of drinking or if you want late nite munchies. Get your slice, sit down, drink your soda and then go home. There are worst things in the world to do. The dining area isn't too large but when I come here late night, not that many people actually sit and eat so you pretty much have free reign on any table. Parking is good here late night and the workers actually let you know if you're parked in a street sweeping zone so you can move it. Nice guys huh....

so my original review (literally posted yesterday) was four stars and said: 'i pretty much want to eat a slice of their vegetarian pesto deliciousness every day. it is blessed with nearly otherworldly perfection... fantastic crust, wonderful cheese/topping ratio, and exemplary pesto. love.' writing about the deliciousness made me crave the deliciousness so i ordered a medium of said amazing vegetarian pesto to be delivered. except when it was delivered it wasn't the right pizza, so i called to inquire only to find that they had sent my order to another irving pizza and they must have screwed it up, so i could call them if i wanted. seriously? insult to injury- both places charged me. wtf.
(1)Melissa Y.
Had some Irving Pizza during the veep debates on the recommendation of a favorite fellow yelper. The pizza itself was three stars - totally tolerable basic California pizza. The wait for the delivery guy was so long that I'm knocking it down to two stars.

Hi. Me, pregnant, craving strange foods, stranded at home, no car, take out my only option. I've ordered from here a few times, only once pizza (I'm not much of a pizza person unless it's homemade). So, I can't say I can review the thing that most people come here for but I can say - the chicken sandwich, the fish sandwich, the french fries (the french fries!!! They're thick like steak fries, love) and the green salad with balsamic dressing that came with my "healthy order" sandwich (they just say that to make you feel better about the fact that you just ordered a sandwich that has a deep fried slab of fish slathered with tartar sauce) - they're all pretty yummy. Not things I'd be excited to see if I ordered out, but for the price and the delivery, totally good. Really, that green salad did not disappoint (unlike virtually every other pizza joint salad), that Newman's Balsamic dressing is yummy! The sandwiches are simple, but not greasy and the delivery is not fast but not too slow (or at least it wasn't for me...barely under 1 hr - though I am literally down the street). This place stays on my list of craving takeout resources. :)

I started coming here to do my homework because a friend of mine worked the counter and she constantly hooked me up with free pizza and beer. So, I have to give Irving Pizza credit for not knowing/caring how much her boyfriend and I swilled as we loitered around the parlor watching Nascar (yeah, seriously). Well, now she's gone, so there's no more freebies, but I still order Irving Pizza, if that tells you anything. If the plug is pulled on something after you've developed a sense of entitlement and a dependency to it, chances are you'll never bring yourself pay full price. This place has got me doing it. Delivery is pretty quick, not usually over 30-40 minutes and the pizza is always hot. I recommend the Igor Special. It's a killer pizza with the works. P.S. Don't watch Nascar, it's as boring as you think it is.
(4)Julia J.
You would have to be very very drunk to think that this place has awesome tasting pizza..the young lady behind the counter lacks any customer service and TMI on your personal life . she would rather argue with you than help solve the problem the delivery guy behind the counter gave us better service ..review of the pizza we had was uneventful for the money would be better eating a frozen pizza
(1)Janet W.
I ordered garlic bread which doesn't take that long to make... i waited for over 20 mins...finally went to ask them..they forgot my f***** g bread. I was pretty mad, coz i dun like doin to these places anyways. they told me oh it doesnt take that long, another 5-10 mins. i said no, i want my money back. they couldnt put it back on my card, and gave me cash. Whatever! I hate it here! The one on geary isn't any better.
(1)Young M.
It's 1:30 in the morning on a Friday night and all that drinking has given me mad food craving. I wall over to Irving pizza and pick up a slice. Quality pizza. They usually have a good variety of ready-made slices. I think you can special order a slice, but it'd probably take 15 minutes. If you aren't picky, just make sure to get a slice of whatever just came out of the oven. If it's fresh out the oven, it's outstanding.
(4)Laura F.
Amazing pizza! The pesto is especially delicious, but quite greasy. I have friends/family who demand to be taken here every time they're in town, and I am always eager to comply. It's slightly overpriced for what you get, but it's ready fast and never disappoints.
(4)David A.
I first experienced Irving Pizza down in the TL after seeing a show @ the GAMH. My g-friend and I got a slice and were immediately impressed. Finally a freakin' pizza shop in SF has figured out that REAL pizza has a thin crust and a healthy amount of sauce. DO: Order delivery from their Irving St. location, duh get it. The pie was really good but I do not recommend their salad. Average and the dressing is the Newman's that comes in a ketchup type McD's pouch. Pizza shops in SF I like: Escape from NY on haight st, Victor's on Polk, and Giorgio's on Clement

You're wearing your 70's retro platforms and your "Disco Inferno" t-shirt." You've been workin' the room, dancin' your home-grown "So You Think You Can Dance" steps, feelin' all sexy-like, casting fantastic glances of animal magnetism all over the place. Then with one flick of the light switch reality hits. Clubs closin' and your feeling both drunktastic and hungry enough to eat two Iguana's and your spare tire. Bonus points for accidentally leaving your jacket on the club's floor. You bust out with the crew and head over to Irving Pizza (it's either Nazario's or this place). They've got slices that are as appealing to the inebriated as a multi course meal at Jenty's. I only have one complaint. The last time I was there, the pizza dude touched the slice with his finger when asking which piece we wanted. Don't' need the extra finger flavor. 3 duckets for drunktastic pizza.
(3)Chris C.
If you come here on weekdays from I think 11AM-4PM, there's a lunch special. One slice and soda for $3.75 and Two slices and a soda for $4.90 or so. There's also beer if you want that instead of soda. The pizza here is pretty good if you want a quick slice while in the neighborhood. I've ordered pies from them but it's just not as good as having one slice reheated in the oven. There was one time where they burnt my slice of pizza and gave me an extra one. I didn't even mind the burnt slice! One downside is that the door stays open even on very cold rainy days.
(4)Gopal R.
This is my go-to joint for a quick slice in the city. I have no delusions about this being the best pizza out there, but its of reasonable quality, not too expensive, open late, and fairly inviting. I don't have very high expectations for service when I'm ordering pizza by the slice, and as long as I get the slice I ordered, hot, and within 5-10 minutes of placing the order, I'm happy. Similarly, I'm not one of those dolts who would dab the oil off of a slice with a napkin either, and as long as the slice doesn't disintegrate before I can get my mouth around it, I'm generally happy. Irving Pizza has always managed to clear this admittedly low bar. Their best slices are probably the combos, which feature the usual smattering of bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni and sausage. They aren't too shabby at the fundamentals either, like pepperoni and mushroom or just a plain cheese slice. They also have suprisingly good hot wings, which come out with a nice dry crispy crust on them. You don't need a huge pile of napkins to get through a plate of wings here - which might not be a good thing depending on your point of view. Lastly, you can get a pint of beer for less than $3. If you need a quick bite to eat and don't want to spend any more time or money than is absolutely neccessary, Irving Pizza is a good option.
(4)hugh l.
I had the pepperoni slice and it was delicous. There isnt many pizzas that surpise me but this one was really good. Came here after a few shots of liqour and it did the job. I will be back if i crave pizza. Its greasy but thats what the gym is for.
(5)Spencer B.
Great for by-the-slice or for a whole pie. But be careful: their slices are generous, so don't make the mistake I made and think you need to have two. One'll do ya. It is thick-crusted greasy pizza joint pizza, served piping hot with lots of cheese, the way pizza should be.
(4)Jeanne L.
As far as pizza goes it's tasty and cheap; it hit the spot. There is some seating to the side which is good. Well, just because it's fast food I like to sit down to eat my slice sometimes.
(3)Dan H.
If your every on Irving Street and want a sandwich, don't bother with this place. Staff not very attentive, had two orders, one a slice of pizza and another a pizza sandwich, both to go; the cashier had the slice ready in 2 minutes and it sat there for another 25minutes cooling while the sandwich was being prepared. I came in for a qucik lunch to go and spend the entire lunch hour waiting.
(1)Sean M.
Not the greatest or freshest pizza out there, but it's quick, sufficient, and most importantly, available late into the night to complement many a drunken escapade.
(3)Martina M.
When first walking in, I was unsure of the place because it looked somewhat sketchy, but we were starving. We got some pizza by the slice and we were AMAZED. It was so good. I'll definitely go back here if I'm ever over there again.
(4)Lilly O.
Some of the best fries around! Pizza is best for extreme intoxication.
(3)Jonathon C.
Everytime I come here I'm either buzzed or tipsy. It's only a block away from chug pug so me and my friends always end up eating here right after. It's almost a ritual that we have to stop by here if we go drinking in this area. They've updated this place quite a bit. There's a nice mural on the wall now and there's actually a sign. I remember going here when there was no sign, there was cracked paint and you can see the drywall. The placed look sketch but now its lost its original experience. I still come here cause the pizza is off the heezy. OMG! The pizza is to die for here...I never have only one. Everytime I say I'm going to have only one I end up getting two possibly three slices. The pizza is different from all the pizza joints I've been to. THe crust is slightly thin but not really. The toppings are good but what always gets me is the crispiness. Everytime you take a bite its soooo good and there's a nice crunch. It's a perfect crisp I've never experienced anywhere else. I can't believe this place has under four stars...maybe its because it doesn't look as nice as other places. The pizza here is hands down the best in the area. I wouldn't go anywhere else. NOTE! Don't park on the other side of the street. YOU MAY END UP WITH A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE TICKET @ 2:00AM! I made the mistake and now I'm kicking myself cause I could've purchased over 12 slices of pizza with that $$. Pizza 5 stars - tasty with a perfect crispy Service 4 stars - they just take your order and hand you the pizza not much else Ambiance 3 stars - its lost its old look so i'm a little dissapointed
(5)Molly B.
After a week living out of a hotel room, eating crappy bland food from chain restaurants, sitting on the runway for an hour right as an amuse bouche to a six hour flight, then having the airline lose (oh, I mean "mis-route") my luggage and having to be trapped in the glass cube that was the Virgin America luggage office with a one year old in a loaded diaper, Irving Pizza sure hit the spot. Did I care that I had to dump approximately 2 tablespoons of oil off it? No, because I was finally finally home in San Francisco, where we saw a nipple at the adjacent table and the guardian open to the back pages on our table. Home sweet home at last. Grease never tasted so good!
(4)Josh B.
Recommended. Good pizza + service.
(3)B B.
hmmmm...what to eat for lunch today? pizza or kfc? i think i'll go eat pizza. but i wish i went to kfc instead... i only come here when i'm hungry, broke, and craving for pizza. they have a pretty good lunch special. 1 slice of pizza and medium soda for $3.75. as i'm waiting for my pizza, i noticed one of the workers picking at his teeth. i was sOoOo DISGUSTEDt! i've heard stories of workers picking their nose in the back....(damn, should have listened) but this motherfucker was in the FRONT, by the REGISTER and picking at his fucking teeth with a toothpick!! dude, i even saw him stick a finger in his mouth! omg that shit was hella nasty! he even saw me looking at him and continued to pick at his teeth! that nasty little fuck didnt even wash his hands right after! he just went about making pizza boxes with his grimey ass fingers! yuck! thank god he didnt serve me my pizza. otherwise, i would asked for another one. shiiiiiiet. i dont think i'll be going back here anytime soon.. i should have listened when i was first warned. but their pizza is actually so-so.
(1)Justin T.
I've never actually been to this establishment, rather they always come to me. Being out in the Sunset is depressing enough and the lack of food options can make you feel isolated (I should add that I am not a big fan of Asian food and thus am biased againist it ... it always sits in me like a stone and destroys my ability to move). Irving Pizza is not cheap, but they make up for this in quality of ingredients (especially the Green pizza if you too are dating a vegetarian) and getting just the right amount of grease. With a beer in hand and a bottle of Tapatio ... a Friday night in has never been so satisfying. Another plus is that the delivery guys are chill (and usually stoned) and when I got an incorrect order; it was rectified quickly and with no acuisations.
(5)Tim V.
The party don't stop till the pizza drops....or something like that. Any pizza place that can taste as awesome as it does sober as it does at 3am on a sunday morning, deserves this kind of 5 happy stars. While late night eating in SF typically means one of three things- drunk pizza (usually crappy), Mel's (with a major line), and if you're lucky, burritos .... but Irving st rises above the mediocrity set by most late night pizzas and its toppings, crust, cheese and sauce form a perfect symphony of taste- and life-saving alcohol absorbtion in your time of need. But nowt they serve breakfast too...hmmmm
(5)David L.
This is the palce to be when you want cheap eats and something that fills ya up. Go get thier lunch menu special during certain hours. I think its everyday from 12:PM to 4:00 PM. Thats 2 any kind of pizza with a med soda (which is really an extra large) for only $5.75. This is the perfect lunch when you drank the night before or just craving some grease. They are also opened very late on weekends, which is a plus. Lot of young drunks/ high kids comes here, including myself. Late night munchies here always hits the spot. The heat up your pizza and its nice and hot for you to enjoy. Go jump on their special business card. Buy 6 pizzas, get the 7th free plus a free drink. Great to us after spending $100 at bars.
(3)Shannon F.
Nice little NY Pizza joint & they sell by the slice, so that's always a plus. I had 3 slices my first time here...just to give you an idea on what I thought about it. It's got some "hometown" decor to it, not sure how long it's been around but it looks like it's got it's 'locals'. You also gotta love how it's open late night! I read some people's reviews about it being greasy or floppy crusted...umm, yeah, that's what New York style pizza is. Just fyi.
(4)VANESSA R.
The slices are not that great, but if you order a fresh made pizza, they are really good. Well if you like super cheesy pizzas, which I do.
(4)Melinda C.
Open late, which is a plus, but the pizza just wasn't super satisfying to me, perhaps on account of the crust being a bit too thin. I still prefer Seniore's.
(3)Richie S.
I used to get deliveries fairly often from here but the last time was about 6 months ago. They delivered two hours after I ordered, which was pretty bad but I didn't grumble too much until I opened it and found my pizza to be ice cold. I called them to ask about refund / replacement and basically what they told me was - the driver got stuck in traffic / tough luck. I have'nt gone back since
(1)andy s.
Consistently good and reasonably priced pizza. Pizza these days has become too overcrowded with toppings and you can't make heads from tails. Irving has a perfect balance. It's not melt in your mouth orgasmic good, but it's not a bad back-up and it's right down the street from my stomping pad. Will be back for more!
(4)Carly W.
Thick, huge slices of pizza loaded with goods. I ordered the supreme pizza and it was pretty good. This place is also open late, so it is a nice little snack after the bars.
(4)Chrissy L.
meh.. an hour + 15 min delivery time for 1 pizza doesn't make me a fan. And they totally skimped on one of the toppings.
(1)Justin B.
It's my neighborhood pizza place and I love it. The folks who work here are chill. I always ask for "light cheese," which means about half the amount of cheese (not skim milk cheese as it might seem). Otherwise they put a quarter-inch think layer of the stuff on the pizza which is too much for me. But with light cheese, it's easier to appreciate the great flavor of the sauce and crust.
(4)Dessa R.
Yes yes yes....juicy huge slice pieces of PIZZA!! Omg i love coming here after a few drinks....or no drinks at all! Their pizza is sooooooooooo good....flavorful & they are generous w/ their slices! My favorite slices are the pesto cheese & regular cheese & peperoni & the veggie.....and the ranch is on point....perfect ting....not to tangy or ligh and it comes w/ the pizza free is you ask for it!! Try to get here before all the bars close....about either by 130p or after 2a. Gota come here!!
(4)elmer d.
after a long fri nite of bar hopping in the height~this place hits the spot...cheap pizza/huge slices....the looong line caught my attention since underdogs across the street stopped serving food & the pho joint was closed....
(5)Matt G.
Mmm, beer and slices late night in the Sunset. Bless you, Irving Pizza! You never even look at me funny when I order a pitcher of beer and I'm obviously by myself. The pizza's not the best, and neither are the sandwiches. The beer is delicious, and the hours are right. Plus they have a TV that often shows the Giants' game. F*ck it. Five stars. I can only assume parking's a bitch if you come while the city's not asleep.
(5)Miss H K.
Food: I usually order he chicken parmigiana sandwich which is not bad. The fries that it comes with a nice and crispy. Pizza here is okay but I just like coming here for that sandwich. Price: Pretty cheap Service: Alright Location: Right on Irving near that pho place Atmosphere: Not the cleanest but okay. I always get my food to go.
(3)Fallon P.
Not bad cheese and pesto slice. But, I wasn't too happy about the watered down ranch.
(2)Eric H.
Order from Seniore's or Pasquales instead. The pizza here is ok but the customer service and delivery are awful. While waiting for my delivery I was told "10 more minutes" at least 5 times. The pizza never came and then they lied about calling me. When I called them the final time they were incredibly rude and unapologetic. Do not waste your time for a mediocre pizza that may never get delivered.
(1)Wilhelm Y.
If you haven't had a bite of food for over seven hours this pizza really hits the spot. That was pretty much my situation when I decided to try Irving Pizza. Large slices with sort of thin crust that needs to be baked just a bit longer. I had two slices during my visit, and the crust on both were barely cooked, white and doughy. Lots of veggies on my combo, but unfortunately they use sausage pellets here also. The combo was unusually greasy too. Do sausage pellets really emit that much grease? Three napkins couldn't soak up all the grease on the pepperoni slice. If my belly weren't grumbling so loud I would have snacked elsewhere, but in a pinch Irving Pizza was edible and served its purpose. It's definitely not the worst pizza I've tried. Table tops full of crumbs and pizza particles. I guess they don't wipe off the tables here, but it seems like there is a week's worth of crumbs and food parts on the floor too so maybe everything is just wiped onto the floor. The counter service was good, but not at all friendly.
(2)Sara W.
Shameful. Cannot believe New York pizza is in anyway used to describe this style of pizza. The crust is terrible. Tastes like Chucky Cheese pizza. Get a Tombstone, you'll be much happier.
(1)Kimberly H.
I don't know why rude/mean people take jobs in the service industry....their job relies on tips, and tips rely on being nice to the customer....so what the hell Irving Pizza??? Service with a frown, grumpy dudes working there, fuck them!!! I tried ordering wine once and had to wait 20 minutes and eventually got a refund....because the wine never came.... The pizza? gross....overcooked....nasssty. no thanks!!!
(1)Michael K.
Simple name, simple pizza. Irving Pizza knows how to hit the spot when all you're craving is a basic, consistent pizza. The pizza here isn't out of this world, but it's still pretty freaking good. And for the price, you get a good New York size slice. I got the Combo Pizza and the Sausage Pizza. Like I said, Irving pizza is pretty predictable in its taste, so you know what you're going to get. Both pizzas tasted like what you would get at a standard pizza joint in NYC: delicious reheated cheese, solid toppings, and filling bread. And just like in NYC, all their pizzas are on display and are served quickly by simply putting it in the oven again. I like to see the grumpy service as an ode to NYC. Some people will say that this place isn't good quality pizza, but for the price, quick service, and late-night hours, it's definitely a winner. GET: Combo Pizza
(4)Sylvia Y.
My review is solely based on late night, post 2am drunk pizza/fries/wings combo that my girlfriends and i religiously came straight from the bar/club to sober up. Would I come to Irving pizza during lunch, or dinner? Probably not. There are plenty of amazing eateries in San Francisco. However, after the last call, struggling to get out of the bar/club, get in the car, find ANYTHING that is open at 2 something to 1. use the bathroom, 2. get some food, 3. bring it home to catch up on how idiotic we were,... this place brings sooo many memories. Thanks for letting us use the bathroom, order by the slice, and give us extra ranch for our crispy and salty wings, letting us sober up, and giving us so many great memories of our early 20's. There is an ATM machine on the corner for you to get some cash. tip them well. They're the very few that stays open for the drunktards.
(5)William B.
After when, I had left King Won Ton & Noodle I was still very hungry... I guess that the Won Ton & Dumpling Soup from King Won Ton & Noodle did not fill me up... So then, I had a craving for a pizza slice and so I was looking around the Irving street area for a pizza place that sells a pizza by a slice... As I looked around then I stumbled into Irving Pizza so then when I walked inside and saw a big pepperoni pizza slice so I had asked for that pepperoni pizza slice to eat inside... After reading alot of yelp reviews there were alot yelpers who had said that this pizza place sucks... But not me Irving Pizza, this pizza place wasnt that bad at all after when, I ate up the pepperoni pizza slice... I did not find anything wrong with this pepperoni pizza slice from Irving Pizza if you are hungry and if want to eat a pizza slice dont listen to any yelpers out there who said alot of dumb and ridiculous remarks about the Irving Pizza... Just go out there and have fun with a pizza slice that you really like to eat!!!
(4)Dante and Alleliah G.
Great drunk food. We got a slice of pesto and two slices of pepperoni. It was somewhat greasy but the sauce and cheese were good.
(4)Keisha S.
Wow the food here is great. It is open late so after a night of parting this is one of the better places to eat. They have these things called Gyros and their fries are the best since I lived in Philly. Their pizza is pretty good by the slice. The Fish and chips are what most of my friends order and they love it. As noted earlier my love is with the Gyros and fries. Again parking can be a pain in this neighborhood during the evening but after 1am its usually fine. I think this place is open to 2 or 3am.
(5)Tom K.
When we first started eating here and having food delivered it was really good. The food still is. The service really needs some attention. We mostly have food delivered now and out of the last 5 times they messed up the order 3 times. Wrong toppings on pizzas, forgetting part of an order, wrong size pizza, etc. It's really frustrating when you get the food and realize they forgot your fries or they sent one pizza rather than the two you ordered. Then when you call them back they NEVER apologize for it. They almost seem angry that you'd have the nerve to call and want the rest of your order. Really bad attitude. We've moved to Taraval Pizza.
(2)Enoch K.
2AM weeknights, 3AM Weekends. Can't beat that if yer in Inner Sunset. Slices are pre-made into pies, then re-warmed in their sub-oven. Veggie and Mushroom/Pepperoni are my favorites. Medium crust, pleanty of cheese/herbs/pepper post toppings available. 1 Slice under $4. Not bad. I haven't tried anything from the non-pizza menu, but the pizza is good for late night/order in action in Inner Sunset. The pesto is good!
(4)L J.
LATE NIGHT SLICES? YES! Quality 4 Stars Beers on tap 5 Stars Hours 6 Stars
(4)Eileen A.
Pretty good pizza that is nice and greasy if that's what you're craving. Street parking is not the best so we always ask for delivery. It does take 45min so don't expect crazy fast delivery unless it's a small pizza. That does happen sometimes. Delivery results are hit or miss..sometimes the bottom middle of the pizza is soggy.. but this place sure beats Dominos. They're not the most friendly on the phone and sometimes I'm put on hold and it's a new person who doesn't know the dude who took my order is. That's a bit annoying. Like most pizza places these days, they keep your info on file so that's kind of convenient. But during peak hours, I had someone rush through my order and hang up on me when I wasn't even done ordering... what the.. Open late which around this area, is a nice find. But I'd go for delivery if you're looking for a late bite. In 2008, a guy who was treating his co-workers to a celebratory meal was hassled and shot by a random customer. Scary. Pretty solid pizza overall and on the greasier side so when I want a lighter veggie pizza for example, I'll order from Seniore's on 19th/Taraval.
(3)Anji W.
Good place to come for late night pizza. Ordering to go would be a tip because the place is kind of messy and a good amount of people. It's better to enjoy the pizza with some drinks at the comfort of your own place.
(3)Madigan M.
Open late, lots of drunk people to stare at while eating a tasty slice of pizza.
(4)Yvonne R.
This is tough because I've actually gotten delicious pizza here. More than once. However, there have been times that I've gotten pizza here and the crust is too doughy. Also, they shouldn't call it NY style. I haven't even had pizza from NY and I know that this is isn't it. It's just like any other cheap pizza, minus the cheap. Pizza is generally good, but the service is always lacking. It's dirty and the blonde w/ the accent is AWFUL every time I go! This time I asked for 2 slices of pizza to go (because there are 2 of us) and she put them on plates to eat there and when I asked her for boxes she did a few other things first while I waited at the counter (near the register) for my pizza. She threw both slices in one box (w/ the plate that was just on top of the dirty counter right on top my my slice of cheese) and back on the opposite side of the counter (near the door) instead of giving them back to me. It was gross and rude.
(2)Stephen F.
Only tried the pre-made slices. So my review is based on that only. I've eaten a lot of pizza. Who hasn't? This is better than some, but NOT better than most. It's smells great from the sidewalk, but it just doesn't live up to the hype. Maybe the made to order is better? If I get a chance to try it another time, and it's better--I will change my review. Now, to be fair: there aren't any other pizza places to choose from in the neighborhood, much less one that opens late and sells it by the slice. So they get points for that. If you're near Polk and Broadway, it's all about Escape from New York Pizza! Sorry Irving Pizza.
(2)Alyson T.
Best pizza in SF. Hands down. The people that work there are awesome, and get this---its open 'til 3 am. So why don't you put that in your drunken walk home and get ova there.
(5)Nalipay M.
The BEST pizza in San Francisco! Big greasy delicious New York style pizzas by the slice with cheese so thick you choke on it when you bite into it. There are 5+ different pizzas there for your choosing: Cheese, Cheese and Pesto, Combination, (and other pizzas with meat that I don't pay attention to). You may want to blot your pizza before eating it unless you don't mind grease dripping down your hands. A must try: They have a sandwich on the menu called the 'No Hangover Philly' which is a Philly stuffed with peppers and spices that. I'm not a drinker, but felt that it deserved mention for those heavy drinkers looking for a cure. Definitely a sandwich that one must put to the test! They're also open late on the weekends to satisfy that late night craving.

Where else can you get a slice of pizza in the city at 3am? Yeah the pizza isn't that great, but who cares-its open till 3am!!!!!!!! And if your eating pizza that late, odds are you aren't expecting top quality pizza- odds are your intoxicated and a slice of greasy pizza sounds good. Would I come here at 7pm for pizza? Hell no! Would I come here at 2am cause its the only pizza joint open that late? Sure! 2 stars for being open late 1 star for the quality of the pizza

I only live like 5 minutes away. I was just too lazy to get my ass into the car. When I got their delivery, it was cold...I mean I don't know what happened. Their pizzas are usually very good. I used to come here during my lunch break in high school. It's such a disappointment to see such great pizza go down the wrong way.

Open-late. Ate here after leaving my first UYE which I have aptly renamed, "Organized Chaos." Walked into the joint and thought that I entered the confines of my own kitchen -- bare white walls are wrapped around a rectangular room with tables running along one side and pizza oven's and glass displays running the length of the other. Ordered 3 slices of pizza: 2 sausage & mushroom and 1 combo. Crust was delicious -- thick and crunchy -- perfect for satisfying an extreme case of shameful drunchies. Cheese pulled nicely away from its origin..[which is a firm-tell that said cheese is of high quality]. The toppings integrated well with the other characteristics which made for a pleasant late-night meal. Very convenient and accommodating. Would consider this place a routine eatery if I lived in the neighborhood.

Good pizza. Beer on tap.
(4)Satoru Y.
Great late-nite NY-style pizza. This was one of my favorite places to grab a slice. I used to live a block away from the place. They got some great, large, thin-crust pizzas here. The pizza has this great indescribable spice. It has hints of flavors of those slices that I miss from the East Coast. They are also open late, and they serve pitchers of beer. The staff is very friendly, and laid back. There have been more than a few times that they kept the place open a little longer to let us finish our beer. Stand-up pizza place: great for a late-nite venture.

more like 3.5 whenever i come to this place it happens to be late out.. i'm on way home after a night out.. my friends and i are hungry and we usually stop by this place for a slice or more. i've only had their pizza, which is pretty good, so i'm not so sure about the rest of their menu.. this place is great to grab a quick bite and opens late on weekends so be sure to check this place out the next time you're around the area
(3)CJ J.
If you want to wait almost 2 hours for delivery, this is the place to go! The food was cold, the portions were extremely small, and the driver forgot half our food at the restaurant. The customer service was non-existant.
(1)Yelp My B.
40 minutes for 3 slices of pizza. They were just not organized and had no idea how to multitask.
(2)Jamie C.
This place is open late- love it!!! Order any special combo pizza slice you like ( I always get pepperoni and pineapple) and they throw it in the oven n top it off with more mozzarella. Can you say yum-o!! More melted cheesy goodness please!! The guys that work there are all chill and some even kinda cute too.. (ahhh hope my BF doesn't see this :D)they have this New York bad ass appeal to them. Eat in, sit back on their comfy chairs, watch TV and eat some deeelish pizza. They serve other items than just pizza too if your in the mood. Beer selections limited but if they don't have what you like there is a liqz two doors down. So go and grab your 40's lol! Cheers!
(4)Lauren S.
Never eaten here, but love the young Brazilian man named Fernando who takes 'casual workplace' to a whole new level. Love his kick-back attitude... see the photos I added for insight. :0)
(5)Christine M.
i have only eaten here after going to Chug Pub.... we get the slices..and they taste pretty good...cuz we're drunk or buzzed?? perhaps...
(4)Jeremy L.
It's pizza...What more can I say? Well, if the dough isn't all that great, then you could screw the whole thing up. I'm glad to say that Irving Pizza has been consistent so far. I've checked out their menu and they have quite a bit of topping combinations that are interesting to give a shot. Price is pretty standard for a slice. Overall, it's a good place to sit and eat. If you're driving, be prepared to look for parking. Especially during the busy meal hours since you'll be competiting with other patrons going to the neighboring restaurants and bars.
(3)Paulette T.
My 5-year-old son, normally composed, threw a tantrum the other night when I promised him to have Irving Pizza. They had electrical problem, so didn't have pizza. My kids love Irving Pizza. My son cried so hard that the storeowner promised him free pizza if we went back the next day. I have to say it is the BEST so far in the City. After having pizza in Brooklyn, NY, Irving Pizza is the one that comes closest to a genuine piece of NY pizza!!
(4)Chili B.
Not bad. My cheese slice was pretty good. Not the best in the world but a solid piece. This is a chill place to plop down, get some pizza ad watch a game.
(3)Bonnie H.
You know how sometimes you're watching TV - just some random show. In this instance, it was 30 Rock. So I was watching 30 Rock, and they were eating pizza. A huge slice of good-old-plain NY-style cheese pizza. And I went... MMMMM... CHEESE PIZZA. The craving hit me. The problem is that I am lazy. Obviously, if I am home on the couch watching old episodes of 30 Rock craving pizza, I'm not what you call, 'upwardly mobile' (..in the literal sense). And the other problem is that I live in the richmond. Not a lot of pizza options. So it had to be delivery. So onto yelp, I found Irving Pizza. MAN! I spent my weekly bad-food allowance on this? Man! I wasted it. Crust was too thick. Not enough sauce. Cheese tasted like nothing. And that's not good, especially when it's a CHEESE pizza. I had to load it up with pepper flakes and parmesan for it to even taste like anything. Oh well... I'd like to say lesson learned. I'd like to say, next time I will get my ass up and go somewhere, where I am sure their pizza is good even if they don't have delivery like giorgio's or something. But probably, I will just stay on the couch.

Ok, I'm not going to lie; this pizza from Irving Street Pizza was delicious when I ordered it at 2:30 am while trying to sober up from a long night of debauchery and drunkenness. Why am I writing this as a disclaimer? It's because you know that when you are super drunk, ANYTHING tastes good! Therefore, take this review with a "grain of salt." There are only a few places that deliver (or even open) at 2:30 am on a Friday night (Saturday morning). Just for that, they get 3 stars! I had a large group of drunken people headed to my place after a night at the bar and I knew I should order some food to help them sober up. What's better than greasy pizza, right? I ordered 2 XL pepperoni pizzas and to my surprise, they came in about 45 minutes. AWESOME! Fat tip for the delivery driver! The pizza tasted so good! I'm sure it wasn't the drunken mindset I had which favored the greasy treat. All my friends were commenting on how it was so delicious. Therefore, I truly would like to say, Irving Street Pizza makes great pizzas no matter how intoxicated you are. They pound on the cheese and they don't skimp out on the pepperoni. Ok, I just reviewed my grammar on this posting and this makes me sound like such a lush! Oh well, for those who know me know that I don't drink that much, maybe 6 days out of 7 of the week. KIDDING!!!
(4)Michael S.
Irving Pizza is absolutely fantastic. The guys are great, the location is nice, and the food never disappoints!! Also, I'm a HUGE fan of the PRICES!!! They have a lunch special with a slice and a drink for something ridiculous (around $3)!! And the guys working are usually really cool and from time to time I've had them throw in an extra slice just to be nice. I usually eat the pizza (pretty good when fresh), the GARLIC FRIES (amazing always though they take a little bit of time because they're made to order) and I've had a sandwich or two (they're good, but I usually go for the pizza!) Definitely worth your while. ALSO a very cool Jessia T. reminded me how AWESOME the HOURS are!!! I think its Sun-Thur open until 2 am Fri-Sat open until 3 AM!!!! PIZZA ALL DUH TIME
(4)M R.
this place has the best pizza in sunset, no joke. their pizza is delicious and i love how the crust and the bottom of the pizza is so crunchy. the guys who work there are really cool and very friendly. always hitting up this spot when my buddies and i got the munchies!
(5)Andy A.
Two issues prevent me from rating this place higher than three stars: 1) The tables are almost never wiped down and and the overall level cleanliness is pretty low, and 2) their crust is a little too doughy. That being said, it's a great place to sit down with a pitcher, a slice and watch a game.
(3)Anthony W.
I don't come here often for one reason alone: the overwhelming smell of the place. C'mon, air it out a bit. You'll walk out of this place feeling assaulted by greasy kitchen exhaust and will need to dry clean your clothes to get rid of the cheesy smell. But OK, their whole cut potato fries are pretty awesome.
(3)Orlando O.
I've been there a couple of times - the place is pretty big, I like the painting of the wall - rather authentic. There's wide range of beers, including Arrogant Bastard which is 7$ per pint. The delivery guys are good - never had any problems. And they have a coupon for medium pizza + soda + salad = 23$, good deal!
(5)Lucy H.
I mainly question the cleanliness of this place. I've been here four times and each time, without fail, their pizza has given me a tummy ache. :( I know, I know...you're probably thinking, "why the hell did you eat their four frickin' times???" Well, I dunno....call me an optimist...I like to give chances.... I'm not quick to judge...or maybe I'm just stupid. This place is located a block away from my ex-boyfriend's place, and he and his friends loved the place, and they didn't get tummy aches. But then again, they are bachelors who regularly eat unsanitary foods.... Anyway, there are other flaws with this place. 1. I have observed them handle money and serve pizza, switching back-and-forth, without washing their hands. 2. Once I ordered a salad with my pizza and they completely forgot. Another time, they forgot our drinks. 3. This place often operates with their double doors wide open, so the place is infested with buzzing flies. 4. Once they delivered 2 hours after we ordered! 5. There is absolutely no parking available. Unless you're starving and your only option is Irving pizza, I would stay far away. If you do eat here, make sure a toilet is nearby....
(1)Crystal R.
Oh yes.... I ALWAYS order whole pizza pies from Irving street Pizza when I'm in the city and I'm in the mood for pizza. Though, if you are in the mood for a late night "snack" filled with yummy goodness after a late night of drinking then I'd recommend individual slices. I think they are also open suuuuper late... so it's perfect for the late night-ers. If you are getting a whole pie, I'd recommend the combo - everything on there is super fresh and complimentary in your mouth. It's amazing. It's not over cheesed, unlike the hawaiian, but super tasty. Delivery was great as well when I lived in the city. On time, never late and free. Love the free delivery within SF.
(4)Chubacca B.
before you read any further, this review is just for the pepperoni pizza. it is my second favorite, Blondie's being the first. my husband & I usually order a whole medium pizza for the two of us to devour at home. we were never disappointed; pizza was always delicious & fulfilling. we usually have 3 slices of leftover, and it's still good after you warm it up in the microwave the next day, even better if warmed in the oven. as for the location & service: well, let's just say you get what you pay for!
(4)Christina S.
Why do I go out and booze like a champ on an empty stomach? Becasue the bar tab is less, DUH! Well, due to me being a cheap drunk, I had to get something in my belly so I wouldn't puke up all my whiskey. I saw Irving Pizza after exiting Whiskey Thieves and decided with my intoxicated brain that this place couldn't be too bad. I was WRONG! Thick cardboard crust covered in greasy cheese and rubbery pepperoni. And boy oh boy, did I wake up with the stomach cramps only the devil himself could inflict upon a pizza sinner. Yes, I sinned for purchasing and consuming cheap nasty pizza on a Friday night. I vow to never again make this mistake! Please forgive me tummy......
(1)Erika W.
Solid! I used to live in the inner sunset and I only went here once late night. We were on our way to an event in the SF and needed something quick and easy, so we ended up at Irving Pizza. We got three slices total: - a cheese slice, once I added the toppings it was AMAZING -a pesto slice, very good -a mixed veg slice which I didn't get to try but my BF said it was good All pizza was hot, fresh, and way more food than we had anticipated. You would be smart to pace yourself! They also have 8 or 9 beers on tap and they are way above and beyond the quality I would have expected at a dive pizza joint (Sierra Nevada, Great White from Lost Cost, stuff like that) this is as good as it gets for fast pizza in the Sunset, it's better than Milano on 9th (and Pascual's for that matter). Everyone on staff speaks Spanish which is pretty funny because...you are at a NY style pizza place in San Francisco and when you look out the front door all of the signs of neighboring buildings are in Chinese. It's like an alternate universe in there. Service was all smiles and they let me use their bathroom, which I had to walk all the way through the kitchen to get into. So I can say the kitchen is pretty clean. The bathroom was way cleaner than I thought it would be, too- I've certainly seen worse. If you live in the Sunset or you're hanging in the park- you should go here!
(4)Sir Paul L.
Awful pizza! Can't imagine why anyone would like this, unless they have never had good pizza. It's overly greasy/oily and lacks the crunch a real pizza oven would create.
(1)Marcus B.
I've been eating at Irving Pizza for years and you should be also 1. they dont charge for ranch 2. they give soda refills 3. always have hot and fresh pies/slices ready for you the only problem is that parking in the area kinda sucks ... some of the best consistent pizza in the san francisco its the only pizza I eat ... Hawaiian is my thang ... and its cheap .. the lunch special is everyday from noon to 4pm... check it out ... its worth it
(4)Van V.
This place serves you up a nice pallet of a pizza. I was visiting from L.A and wanted a local taste of the neighborhood pizza. Hungry and with friends and family we called in and ordered one of their specials. Shaped it with brooklyn style thin crust , and Bam!, 40min later this awesome nicely cooked and crispy pizza was steaming at our front door. soooo good. I will definitely look em up again when im in the area.
(4)Albert W.
Pizza was a bit too doughy for my liking. Also a but burnt when it was being reheated. Place seem ok clean, well at least for my mini table. Taste, well, nothing spectacular. I am just being generous to them so i give it a 3 star.
(3)Josie A.
go-to place after boozin on a weekend (or weekday!) decent slices of pizza, good sandwiches, and.... jalapeno poppers! yessssss decent food+ late hours= 4 stars easily
(4)B H.
Crunchy crust, hot and juicy. Perfect pizza.
(4)Joe G.
Service will always trump decent food. Awful awful service. Extremely rude and would not give me a pizza that had already been paid for because I left my ID at home. Ridiculous. Was humiliated over a minor detail. Glad they're ok with wasting food.
(1)Charlotte D.
Just plain bad! The pizza crust is the texture of wonder bread.
(1)Laura W.
Super tasty. I recommend ham and mushrooms on your pizza. Healthy, yet unhealthy. Everything is perfectly cooked... I am a huge fan of the crust, the cheese, the toppings, the service, and the fact that they deliver straight to me!
(5)Audrey G.
Love Irving Pizza!! Great pizza and fabulous wings! Please don't change!
(4)kiki b.
like everyone else has said they deliver until 3am. woo-hoo. greasy pizza is the best hangover prevention (better than tylenol) however, if i was on the upper east coast the 3am delivery wouldn't mean crap.....just saying.....you guys are missing out on 4am bar time and a ton of 24hr diners anyway, their sandwiches aren't bad and i really like their large salads. they all have those banana pepper thingys that i like. yay!
(3)Nelson S.
I have been on a long and arduous quest to find decent pizza in SF, let alone the Sunset. I do believe my quest is over! Super yummy pizza by the slice. Try the veggie, you wont regret it! I just wish they delivered to 48th Ave! Its really no that far!
(4)Alex L.
Wooooo great pizza! Uber tasty and the slices were good sized. You can just hop in if you want a quick lunch or snack. There's not too much to say about Irving Pizza besides the fact the pizza tastes great. Nuff said.
(4)Ben W.
Irving Pizza, you've been there for me from the very beginning and through two address changes, through the good and the bad (we're sorry we gave you the old address three years ago, forgive me?), and you guys never let me down. I've tried the other pizza delivery places in the area, and I won't name names, and I must say I can't find a better place. Your crust is better, and so is the sauce. Sometimes you're a little heavy on the cheese, but we live with it. Your coupon deals are the best in town--don't ever change them!--and even though your buffalo wings have no buffalo hot sauce on them, they're still awesome. When I drop in to grab a slice, I see familiar faces and I know I'm gonna get some good pizza.
(4)Jake C.
the pizza is pretty good and not too expensive. plus open late with lots of options for slices. a good spot to have close to home. problems: chicken wings are the worst i have ever had in my entire life!!! they are basically skin and bones, over cooked, and expensive. and the 2 girls that work there are very rude. they make it super easy to not tip at all because they seem to forget that they arnt super models but instead work at a PIZZA PARLOR!!!! they need to be fired.
(3)M. U.
Pizza OK... good late night eats... Horrible service and attitude. Never get my tip money!
(2)A C.
The medium pizza + salad + 2-liter Soda for under 20 bucks is what my fiance and I live off on cold friday nights. The pizza is really good when you get it delivered. I've had slices in the store twice, and both times it was seriously gross. Amazing, I know. I wonder if I put a slice in the car and drove it around for 20 minutes if it would taste any better. Science!
(4)Denise C.
Nice pizza place to walk by near 19th and Irving. I like their pizza and options, esp. Hawaiian. The have a nice menu with sandwiches, fish and chips, and salads. Prices are okay, but the pizza by slice is actually not that cheap anymore.
(4)Kristina C.
SF Food Inspection Score: 88 This place has a special spot in my heart. I have been going here since I was a little kid. Seriously, like 1990. Let me take you on a trip down memory lane.... This was a hot spot for middle school kids and they would come and play Street Fighter, Indiana Jones Pin Ball, and my personal fave, Bust-A-Move. The slices were a $1-$2 and you could get a soda for .50 cents. Then you could watch MTV's The Grind before you had to go to Karate lessons down the street. I thought it was the coolest place in town. Now, as I have gotten older, so has Irving Pizza. No longer a safe haven for kids to hang out, it's sort of become this late night hang out. Maybe it was back in the day, but it definitely has a different feel to it. Beers on tap served in pint glasses, less tables to invite guests to stay, waaaaay more food on the menu, and the menu itself is that snazzy chalk art you see at crepe places. But that's not to say that this place has declined in any way. The pizza is still pretty tasty, not the best, but good. They have an awesome variety of food like sandwiches (which are basically pizza sandwiches), salads, samplers, and I think even pastas! The service/delivery is prompt and accurate. And even if I'm ordering just a small meal, they'll still make the drive up to my spot even though I can just pick it up myself. I will always love this place. Not for the ambiance, the service, or even the food. I love this place because of all the memories I had and will have here. Thank you Irving Pizza!
(5)Ryan C.
Irving Pizza is descent. They're nice when you go into the place and order but sometimes over the phone when you order they can be rude. its not the best pizza your ever going to eat but, its GREAT when you have the munchies.
(3)Ezduzit S.
2 star pizza in the daytime...there are better places to visit. 4 star pizza late night after binging on drinks...thin, crisp, hot, convenient and fast! They're basically my late night "booty call" for my stomach.
(3)dan s.
I've been here a few times, usually very late at night. The pizza is pretty OK (remember, I have NY standards!), I recommend the "combo". It's nice to be able to get a pint of Sierra for under $3 with your slice too. Since the pizza was decent, I decided to try their chicken parmesan sandwich. I got back a blackened, charred patty in overtoasted bread with a bad impression of pizza sauce. I ate it anyway, but I regret that decision.
(2)Nolan V.
This is not super special or flavorful . I came to try just because it's close to home and it seems to have quite a flow of people. There are few tables. Um
(2)Melanie N.
Need a pizza fix when you've just walked 7 miles in 6 inch platform boots? Apparently this is the place! I have pictures from inside this joint...I know I tasted good pizza, even if it was only a bite. Most important was the fact that they had bathrooms....the half pint of vodka I had drank over the few hours prior to arriving was finally activating my bladder. Ehm, I'd definitely recommend...and I'll go back so I can try and remember how good the pizza actually was!
(4)Jeff J.
High marks because they have delicious, thin pesto slices offered at $3.25. Enjoy a beer and the crispy crust in a convivial atmosphere. Only blemish is someday's the pizza is better than others, they're still one of the best in the city.
(5)Kevin B.
Pizza very tasty. A couple of times delivery was slow but pies are good enough I'm willing to take that chance.
(4)XTA s.
I work a swing shift over in Haight. I ordered from Irving because i have a terminal case of Middle America palate, and the spicy Thai or Indian does me no good.. I'm not in the mood for pizza so i call in a sandwich on a french roll, fries, and i get the cheescake cuz there's a minimum order.. it takes an hour to reach me, the guy takes my food OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK, so the food is totally cold, and they got my order wrong. By the time the food gets to me i've only got 15 min left at work anyway... just enough time to give Irving Sunset one star. If i could give less, i would. Why can't you guys be as good as Irving Geary???
(1)Aric W.
I think this is the place. Great slice, the guy was not super friendly, but i don't care. Slice gave me gas. Seriously good piece of pizza. I almost gave it 4 stars, but i cant really think of a better slice off hand so it's 5 stars for what it is.
(5)Jen K.
I've never eaten here but I have had delivery quite a few times. Its not the best pizza in the world, but I've never had any issues with it. Its very greasy, so I mop it up with a paper towel, but this place is cheap. Its a $10 minimum on Grubhub and free delivery, hence it's appeal. I'm no pizza connoisseur, so for me it's just fine. Its fast delivery on those night you don't want to cook. I'm actually a big fan of their Irish pizza. Give it a try!
(3)Lisa J.
Thanks for the runs this morning, Irving Pizza! Why the hell did I go here again? Don't I read my own reviews?
(1)Amber Y.
I have been ordering from Irving Pizza since I have moved to the city over 2 years ago and their pizza has been consistently delicious. The pizzas are great, the crust has a slight, crispy outer layer with soft inner, just as crust should be and I have never had any issues with the intensity of their spices or flavors. They are always right on. I also really love their sandwiches. The chicken pesto is by far my favorite, along with the chicken parmigiana. Jalepeno poppers??? Yum! Cheese sticks?? Super yum! I mean it's fried cheese! Kind of hard to mess that up! They also deliver late every night of the week - till 2am M-F and till 3am Sat and Sun. Great when you're having the late night munchies, and I mean that in a completely drug-free way. My only complaint is that they skimp on their toppings. I ordered the Irish special that, strangely, comes with corn. Sounds weird, I know, but it was really good. Corn goes well with ham! Any who, they literally just sprinkled it on. The corn was unevenly scattered, which left a piece that had maybe about 4 small kernels. They also hold back on the pizzas that come with feta cheese. Again, just a sprinkle of it and nothing more. Other than that, they continue to be my favorite place to get pizza in the city. Sure there are places that have crazy, gourmet style pizza's with toppings and ingredients I can't quite pronounce, but Irving keeps it simple and tasty and I love them!
(4)Christina T.
We order either a small or medium whole pizza, not by the slice. They've delivered to our home in less than 45 minutes. Out of the numerous times we've ordered from there, there has only been 1 mistake and another pizza was sent.
(5)Edgar G.
I love going down to Irving to pick up a slice of pizza late at night. Irving Pizza has some great selections, but I usually get the combo and pepperoni. The people there are pretty friendly, but it takes a few minutes for the pizza to pre-heat.
(4)Scott M.
This was my local delivery pizza. They have a good peperoni and are open late. I mostly ate slices here on Friday night with a large root beer. What a life.
(4)Katherine C.
The pizza is pretty good, even though I haven't had it many times. It's not your ordinary pizza but can be real greasy.
(4)John B.
FOOD POISONING. Thanks a lot. Probably the worst I've had it ever in my life.
(1)Kate B.
This is the closest pizza place to me. They will even deliver to my place for free. One might think that would be enough for 3 stars, but it isn't. I will get in my car and drive somewhere else even when I really don't want to leave the house and NEED pizza right now. The pizza here just isn't that good. Not as bad as Pizza Orgasmica, but still pretty crappy. Better yet, I'll go with frozen pizza over this place.
(2)Kristina S.
What happened to this place. I've been coming here for about 8 years. I'm a rare pizza eater. Each year the food get worse and worse. Now I just don't even have and urge for pizza. Its cheap and all but I myself am not a pizza person it has to be really good for me to like it. And this place is not one of those places.
(2)Mike A.
You know that feeling you get where you have to keep running to the toilet even though theres nothing left to come out? yeah I had that feeling the whole day after the night I ate here. Throw in a double shift at work and you have one very bad day. 2 stars for the staff who were extremely cool.
(2)Kai T.
I first order from here because they deliver quite late every night but especially on weekends. They also used to have a gyro pizza (something like that) that was good but I haven't seen it on the new menu that was stuck in the door recently. I have a hard time with processed tomato acid, so the gyro pizza worked out great and had a "different" taste (little bits of gyro meat in a cream sauce, etc.). And they also offer fried shrimp, scallops and fish for our vegetarian. By and large, I don't like the pizzas in San Francisco (I'm used to Chicago pizza which I grew up on, and NYC pizza from my misspent youth) but I liked the gyro pizza--wonder where it went and if I can get the guys to make me one every now and then. It's a pizza place that's open late--and isn't a large franchise chain. In other words, it could be worse.
(3)Jason J.
at $3.50 a slice, it's typical of what you'd expect, but i thought this beat out most average pizza joints. the slices are a tad larger than most, and pretty good. the combo pizza they definitely packed the sausage on, so they're not shafting you there. the hawaiian, they dump on the pineapples. if you like a crispier crust, ask for it "well done". i'd definitely come back here. there is zero ambiance, but hey, it's pizza. take it to go, and go across the street to underdogs and watch the game! and unlike most joints, their "frequent buyer" needs only 6 slices to get a free one. seriously thats 50% less than most!
(4)Natacha M.
When your on your way home from a night of parlayin this pizza is not bad at all. It was like 2:30 in the morning and one of the only places open on our way back to my friend's house so we stopped to get to a few slices 1 cheese and the other veggie and it sopped up those jack & cokes pretty well.
(3)Ryan M.
Yummy! Their pizza is so good. I don't order anything else there. I ordered a sandwich once and didn't think much of it. If you stick to the pizza, you can't go wrong. My favorite pizza is the Irish pizza. There's not really anything Irish about it, but that's ok....it's still good. Unfortunately, it's only available as a whole pizza vs by the slice. The pizza has ham, grilled chicken, sweet corn, & green bell peppers. I do tweak it a little bit. I replace the bell peppers with mushrooms. Oh yeah, they do have good mozzarella sticks with really good marinara sauce.
(5)Maurice T.
Decent pizza, but nothing special, i can name a good number of spots that are way better. If you live around that area, i guess you can say they have "killer" pizza.
(2)Alan H.
It's open late and they sell beer with their mediocre pizza. Perfect for all the drunks to stumble to when the bars kick them out. Hurrah.

It took them well over an hour to deliver on a 30-45 minute estimate and the driver TOOK OUR MONEY & RAN/PEELED OUT without asking if we needed change while we were waiting in the doorway for it. We were intending to tip him well, but after that we called his manager & requested he bring the change back. His manager said he would call him & demand his return. He never showed back up. BTW the ground beef in my burger was grade Q died red garbage. The wings were decent.

ever since they open a breakfast menu, i think their pizza went down a notch. but Irving Pizza is still a nice alternative from Seniore's and all the drunk people that hangs out there too.
(3)Darren C.
its always open when i need a slice of pizza. its consistent. they did just get a new TV though so you can watch all the sports games that are showing. nothing special bout this pizza but its descent and does its job. they make the pizza pre-made and then crisp it up. you are basically in and out of there in about 10 minutes. descent pricing about 4 bucks ish. nothing else in the area that really gives you pizza.

Irving Pizza...A night of dancing and drinking isn't complete without a slice or two of pizza before heading home. I've tried to substitute with other pizza joints and I'm always disappointed..."damn, I should've waited till we got home!"
(4)David G.
Good late night pizza!
(4)Jennifer E.
Excellent pizza and fairly quick delivery EVERY time I've ordered from them! DELICIOUS pizza....rave reviews from plenty of people(at parties and such)! Irving St. Pizza does a great job with their toppings...After picking out the only three items that 2 friends and I could decide on, red onions, artichoke hearts, and sausage, we ordered, and not more than a half hour goes by, we get our mouthwateringly delicious pie! Compared to Orgasmica, this place wins hands down...cheaper and wayyyyyy tastier!
(5)Justin O.
Like Seniore's I've been going here since high school. I've spent many a drunk nights stumbling over from golden gate park and getting a slice a pizza. Then I realized when I was sober - this Pizza sucks. Hella Greasy!! I do like it better than Seniores because its not as crowded, they have free ranch sauce and the guys that own the liquor down the street are my boys, but other than that 2 Stars is all they get.
(2)Seung Hyun Y.
Went here with a group of friends and the atmosphere was pretty welcoming. ordered the all veggie pie and added some chicken, so that was pretty nice. at times i come here with my significant other to grab a slice on the go along with some fries. i've been coming here since i was a kid. can't go wrong with childhood memories right? =]
(5)rico s.
always good fast delivery excellent slices killer prices comfy dining room and the burgers RULE!
(5)L B.
we were basically starving after a night out - the girls and i were not looking forward to the wait at seniore's..luckily the bf noticed there was a ton of parking right in front of irving pizza and we decided to pick up here. went for the large cheese and found out it was way cheaper than ordering a whole pizza from up the street. a perfect ending to a great night. 4 hungry girls after a night of dancing = devoured pizza in 2 mins.
(5)Jessica h.
Good priced pizza...only $2.50 for a pretty big slice of super thin, crispy pizza. They have at least 4 different types of slice pizza out, and finish baking it in the pizza oven when you order it. Take-out or delivery actually gets you bigger, heartier slices. Good to know: Their take-out menu has great coupons like "2-two topping medium pizzas for $20"--Great deal!
(4)Len A.
i luv pizza but this place is the best since its open late till 3amish and your half-drunk!! this is the best pizza in town but it could be the alcohol thats talking if only pizza was a healthy food i would go here all the time!
(4)J M.
i've been a staunch supporter of Seniore's in the past. my friends have extolled the virtues of Irving pizza but i did not waiver, like friggin George W. insisting that there were WMDs in iraq. but seniore's has fallen off, perhaps complacent in their perceived supremacy. irving pizza now reigns supreme as best pizza to eat when trying to prevent alcohol-induced vomiting. it's even good while sober. step up your game Seniore's!
(4)larry s.
this is a great late night / anytime pizza joint where you can go & grab a slice. the place will cater to your almost every whim you want on your slice as long as its on the menu. the place is not for the faint hearted & those who are health conscience. this is a true experience in gastronomical gluttony, large slices of pizza, covered in lots of cheese, meat & veggies, dipped in home made ranch dressing. the hot wings & fries are good, make sure you have alot of napkins. i'm glad they opened another location in the tenderloin off of geary & larkin street. i stop by there as once in awhile well to grab a slice & go during the day if i'm in that part of town & craving pizza. best bang for the buck. good tasting cheap eats & large drinks you can't beat this place. parking in the area can be difficult, there is a near by metered parking lot located on 20th avenue between irving & lincoln way.
(4)Jason W.
there pizza is decent just like any other pizza places. i brought three slices and it was 13 dollars. they have really bad services with a lot of attitude. i told the girl i wanted my pizza to go and she keep constantly asking me if it here or to go. i would only go here if I'm really hungry at night time.
(2)Raul J.
Man, everyone who says they don't like this place probably grew up on the West coast. On the East Coast this pizza would be passable, but in SF, it's the best NY style pizza you can get- and I've been looking. You want grease and cheese on a real pizza crust go to Irving Pizza. You want tofu and bean sprouts go to CPK.
(4)Janet H.
Don't even bother ordering from here. I live five minutes away from this place and ordered a pizza for delivery at about 11:45 pm. I was quoted fourty-five minutes to an hour. Around 1:15 am I called to ask if the order had been sent out already so I had a sense of timing, since I had a friend over who was considering calling it a night and going home. The guy who answered the phone, without apologizing, corrected me about how long I had been waiting and told me it would be another ten minutes. Ok...... so after another half hour I call again to cancel the order. Two hours is too long to wait for any meal. Again, the guy didn't apologize and acted like I was crazy for not wanting the pizza anymore. Finally, realizing my mind wasn't changing, he told me that I "would just have to tell the guy when he got here." He was incredibly rude and honestly, not even GOOD food is worth that kind of service.
(1)Maile W.
went here a couple of times and the service was pretty good. it's a lot easier to get pizza since i live so near the place so it's very convenient when i'm craving pizza.
(4)Yury S.
It may not be the best pizza in the world, but if you are looking for something to eat late at night, this is probably a better place than many.
(4)Aaron W.
Like the other reviewers say, the plus of this joint is its hours in a quiet side of town. The pizza is decent and you can get whatever fried food fix you need in the wee hours. It's not too pricy and you'll get a good portion for what you pay.
(4)Craig G.
I eat this pizza like 4 days a week and its pretty delicious and it hits the spot. the customer service could be nicer but thats about it.. one time i went in there and there was a crazy ass lady on meth screaming at the cooks.. than she told me about the meth lab down the street from her house and told me how she hadn't slept for 10 hours in the last 4 days.. but anyway good pizza ok service.
(4)Valerie N.
i've been coming here since a good friend of mine introduce me to this place. pizzas are alright and i usually get their hawaiian! i also like their sandwiches, it's pretty damn mouth watering! i'd stick with pesto chicken. they also comes with french fries. yay! mm they also do deliver too. they accept credit card and cash, woots!
(3)will e.
Best pizza in the the Sunset, and worth a drive or mini ride from North Beach just for a single slice.
(5)Matt F.
Good pizza at a great price. Their variety of toppings, interesting specialties, and great deals make this a pizzeria that you would not want to pass up. They have great delivery hours (as would be expected from a pizzeria), and generally arrive well ahead of the predicted time. The pizza is very tasty, whether you eat it right away, or save some for later.
(4)MJ E.
You can get a slice of pepperoni and a beer for $5.50. Their pizzas are tasty; good crust and sauce and decent amounts of toppings. I haven't ventured away from the slices so I really can't tell you what the rest of their food is like. But I like this place, it's always a good choice when I need a quick bite and don't feel like straying too far from home.
(3)K L.
Can you say "tasty"? Yes...you can! Irving Street Pizza is the bomb. The pizza is soo good! Not only do they have tasty pizza, they serve great sandwiches (cheese steak) and burgers with fries. With 6 beers on tap, cable entertainment, a great staff --- what more do you want? Breakfast...you ask? They just started serving breakfast from 6am --- noon on weekdays. Their breakfast sandwiches are excellent and are served with home-fried potatoes. They are open super late for all you munchie-chies. You know who you are.
(5)ally o.
oh, irving pizza. how i love you so. thanks to my new drinking buddy in the sunset (who happens to lives down the street from here) - i have found a new haven after a few beers on the other side of irving. i've been there twice in the last week! geez. and the folks working there are accomodating enough (considering at 1, 2 am not bad..) taking care of everyone no matter how packed it gets. so sure eating late night greasy pizza that's bad for you but tastes so good buzzed may cancel most of my new year's resolutions of losing weight... but cheers to late night pizza being happines. haha. and thanks to the guy working tonight who warned everyone about street cleaning! nearly got a ticket..
(5)Phil M.
Late night joint for slices of pizza, open til 3am on friday and saturday, 1 am otherwise. Decent slices of pizza for between $2.50 and $3. Better option is Seniore's on 19th. Cheaper and better.
(3)Adrian M.
Pizza is just okay - if that. No hint of olive oil, oregano, spice, - very plain. I don't think I've every odered it again. For delivery they do have some decent fish n chips, chicken strips, jalapeno poppers. Come to think of it, that's the only reason I order from them. Oh well.
(3)shannon b.
a week ago my mom n john were over droppin off more goodies to my new diggs...so we decided to just order pizza...sooo of course i hopped right on yelp and found this place...were ordered their special which is like a typical supreme pizza....first of all they quoted us 35 minutes....an hour later i called and asked wtf...wheres our pie?? "on its way" umm ok...so he shows up 5 minutes later. the pizza was in the cooling stages by now.....i could tell by the box becasue it was cool not hot at all...i asked him if he had the parm and the red pepper flakes that i had requested and he looked at me like HUUUHH??? and then replied " oh we only have those at the restaurant"...whatever...i took it upstairs and sure enough the pizza was cold..i called and complained but they werent trying to send another one over or give me any type of coupon for later..their lack of customer service really bothers me...im not picky at all but if i pay freakin 30 bucks for a pizza it bette be HOTT for one and taste DELICIOUS ...it sucks because i really had high hopes since they have such great reviews....the pizza could of been great..it tasted like it was great a half hour before we received it.....next time im callin cybelles for sure
(1)Monk R.
the thing i love about living in the sunset, is recognizing the irving pizza delivery boy with longish straight hair driving a cute little red hatchback. i love proclaiming, 'hey there's the delivery boy!' anyway, their pizza is ok, but always compliments the beer! service is friendly and not super fast but that doesn't compromise how 'good' they are. the veggie sandwich and fries are good. strange abundance of napkin dispensers here, but i guess that's a good thing! oh and i love the little pizza dishes they serve your slices on.
(3)banana b.
It's funny how people are trying to be pizza connoisseurs, especially when it comes to places like Irving. I highly doubt that they're striving to be the best pizza in town, but they do serve up a pretty decent slice. So please do us all a favor and get that silver spoon out of your butt. This place is great on the weekend when you've got the drunken munchies after hitting up the bars. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who doesn't live in the area since I don't think it's worth any sort of commute. But for the locals? Hooray for Irving pizza!
(4)Alex K.
open late, pizza is pretty good, beer on tap, a neighborhood staple.
(4)Roshni R.
the pizza is quite good (see phil's review for the prices). they also have a lot of other stuff on the menu (fish and chips, salads, pastas). i had a caesar salad once--the dressing was from a packet, but the salad was huge. they also have pretty decent lunch specials (2 slices and a drink for $5 or something like that).
(3)heather m.
cheap, yummy, super fast slices...
(4)colin b.
as a brooklyn native, i was impressed. the pizza is really thin and really good, one of the best slices i've had in the west. also, they deliver late, which is a huge plus in my book. the wings are decent, nothing to rave about though.
(4)Crystal R.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!!!!! They were 30 mins late! I ordered via Delivery.com , and confirmed the order. Even called to make sure they got it. The order arrives 30 mins late, the burger was not made to order! I asked for no condiments except bbq, if none available, then nothing please. They slapped on EVERYTHING they had except the kitchen sink. I asked for well done. The burger was burnt outside, pink inside..... like medium / rare....could not eat it. Called the restaurant and spoke to a guy who said his name was Mike/Miguel, but I think he was lying because he sounded like he didn't even care. He said it was his fault, and yea, he wasn't paying attention.... WHAT?!?!?!I would concede if they were busy but it was Tuesday first order of the day, so no excuse! Do not order from here if you want quality.
(1)josh d.
I got a vegetarian burger with fries and a Parmesan sandwich delivery (and a nice %25 tip). EVERYTHING WAS OLD. It's as if they took the leftover food from last week and decided to see if the costumer will complain. Well, I did complain and I'm also leaving this yelp review, so hopefully this place won't try this again for the next guy. I'm not getting anything from here again.
(1)Vernon M.
I've ordered delivery from Irving Pizza 3 times and pick up once. I'm not a huge fan of their pizza although there are other things on the menu I really like. Tonight, the one-topping bacon pizza I ordered was less good than usual. It was extraordinarily dry. There was almost no sauce. I couldn't taste it, and looking at the pizza in cross section, could see only the thinnest sauce line -- nearly invisible. The amount of cheese was adequate, although not at all generous, and the topping was very skimpy. All in all it was kind of a dry-bready experience. We also had the 'buffalo' wings, which were delicious, but not in any way buffalo style. The wings were unsauced and breaded with a savory spiced coating that is not hot at all (buffalo wings are unbreaded with a hot chili / cayenne / vinegar-based sauce) . So I don't know why they are called 'buffalo', because the are not. But I'll order them again because they are nice and crispy and they taste good. I just won't be expecting buffalo wings next time. In the past, we've also ordered the chicken tenders and burgers, and both were excellent. But I'm probably going elsewhere for my pizza after tonight
(3)Mohamad A.
This is really a very tasty pizza, thank you so much guys :-) :-)
(5)Audrey C.
Irving Pizza is amazing for late night food. From Sun-Thurs they are open until 2am and Fri-Sat they are open until 3am. You can get your slice quickly and they heat it up within 5 minutes. Each slice is under $5 and they are HUGE portions! The crust is amazing, always crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also take credit card! With no minimum needed. Oh, and try to avoid the bathrooms-it isn't the cleanest...
(4)David M.
Decent food, really bad service. Last time I walked it was 3 PM and not busy at all. There were two guys at the counter who didn't appear to be doing anything but wouldn't even make eye contact. I walked right up to them. Nothing. What are you supposed to do in this situation? I ended up leaving and getting a sandwich at the liquor store/deli next door.
(2)Jennifer M.
I see there are a ton of new people who work there, seems like they added beer to there menu as well and i feel like with that change its not the same.... Pizza of mine was dry it's not like how it use to be... Very disappointed. was the best pizza I use to get now not so much.
(1)Maria Z.
Irving pizza is just a block from my house. I love how late it's open. Perfect for a late bite or when I'm just top lazy to cook. Pizza's always great and they're always playing the game on at least one tv.
(5)Kaje Y.
I've been here twice now, and this time it was a bit earlier so they had more pizza options. Ordering "to go" they charge 50 cents extra for a box. I guess order "for here" and just take it to go on a paper plate. The total for 1 slice of combo pizza to go with tax was 4.xx, but on the higher side... The pizza itself was really good, and it's a fairly large slice. It's pretty much a costco slice for twice as much money. I like their combo pizza, and I'd come back, but I wouldn't pay 50 cents for the box next time. They do have beers and they do have homeless people coming in and out. They also open late so they get the drunk and high people too. All good.
(3)Matthew F.
I ordered pizza from Irving's apparently on a very busy Tuesday night. After waiting for 90 minutes I called to check the status of the pizza. They said they were sorry for the delay and that the pizza was actively being delivered and would arrive shortly. Another 30 minutes later and I decide this was not the case. Perhaps I should be more patient but I didn't feel like staying up til one in the morning waiting for pizza. Instead I'll go to bed hungry, had they been honest I could've gotten food somewhere else.
(1)Dakota S.
Good place to get a slice. Not super cheap, but if you are easily satisfied, you'll probably get full off 2 slices and enjoy it pretty thoroughly.
(4)Sam S.
I eat pizza here on occasion when I am in the area and the slices I've gotten are pretty darn good. Today I got a Philly cheese steak with a side salad. Menu did not include a description of the salad and I'm a really picky salad eater but I gave it a shot. The Philly was okay but it hardly had cheese, very dry. The mystery salad came with lettuce tomato onion and banana peppers which I think is a strange combination for a salas. A small thing of ranch dressing was two dollars extra... kind of disappointing. The people who work their are very nice though. :)
(3)j d.
I had only wanted to use my Gopago credits since it was the last day and since Irving pizza was the closest I had decided to use it on them. Boyyy do I regret coming here in the first place. The staff was extremely rude especially the stupid a$$ ignorant lady that works at the register. I placed my order on gopago and had called them to see when it would be ready and what do I get in return.... the stupid lady hung up on me! When I got there to pick up my pizza, I had to wait an additional 2 hours!!! How do you even run a business like this!?!?! This is insane! The lady even said that I had to be a customer there in order to use their restroom, for which I was since I did just purchase a pizza and she still wouldn't let me use it! I had to walk across the street to Starbucks and use theirs! This is by far the worst establishment that I have ever been to and will defiantly be my last. I rather go elsewhere than to support to crap hole that they call of a business!! I will also not be recommending your crappy services to anyone ever again! UPDATE!!! You have got to be kidding me!!! Not only was my pizza extremely cold by this point because of the insane 2 hour wait but they were even being cheap on the toppings! Don't pizzas having toppings that are filled throughout?!? Sadly, my pizza only had toppings in the center, leaving about 3 inches of space that could have been filled. This is just extremely disappointing, I ended up just giving my pizza away to the homeless.
(1)Patrick C.
In the Sunset District...I think that Irving Pizza and Seniore's is probably the best two pizza-by-the-slice pizza parlors. The difference is that Irving's crust is thinner (which I love) and Seniore's toppings seems fresher. All-in-all...Irving pizza still rocks!!
(4)Lily S.
You know i really want to give this place an okay review since my boyfriend and I frequent this place often but the service really sucks. Time and time again we come in and recieve the same horrible service. There is a blonde girl that works there and she is just horrible. My friend went in and ordered pizza and garlic bread and after paying for his meal and waiting, he recieves his pizza and waits for his garlic bread. He sees his garlic bread and than waits to recieve it, but suprisingly the girl looks around the room and starts eating it.. WTF?? come on really.. Anyways, the girls there are just rude to everyone in general. The nicest one there is the the guy that warms up the pizza for you. I'm not going to lie, I'll be back for sure for late night drunken munchies.
(1)SF NATIVE N.
Pizza GOOD. Service BAD. If you can tolerate some really crappy service 75% of the time you go in, then be my guest. I would go more often if it weren't for the lousy service. The chicks that work here are okay...but there's this one short mexican dude with studded earrings. FYI - do not ask for pizza while he's working as he'll get pretty upset if you try & interrupt his "game" while hitting on the other chicks working behind the counter. This dude literally threw my pizza on the counter ( passive-aggressively ) as he was in the middle of hitting on this chick. No thank you, no come again, no nothing. Just an evil stare for me happening to buy pizza while he was trying to play mack daddy. Also $3.75 per slice?!? I bought 2 slices...nearly $8 bucks!! Pizza hut is offering a "bad economy" special....ANY SIZE pizza for $ 10 bucks. And the service BLOWS Irving Pizza away. Man...you want to give the smaller businesses a shot, but when they overcharge and give you lousy service to boot...who cares how good the pizza is.
(1)Chris D.
Grease bomb, not Pizza Monster Approved even when he's a bit drunk thats how bad it was.
(1)chris h.
I will never go back here. I used to order their pizza at least once a week. Recently I ordered a pizza for pick up. I took the pizza home and realized it was someone else's pizza. I called back and asked for my pizza. After some haggling and time on hold they agreed to deliver my pizza. I didn't want to get back in the car, drive there, look for parking, get my pizza and drive back home and look for parking when I had just done that and they had given me someone else's pizza. When the delivered pizza box arrived, there was profanity directed at me. I called the owner the next day and he came by my house and was very apologetic. He would not refundy money, but he offered me a free pizza and told me I could just call and they could look up my phone number in the computer and there would be a credit. I eventually got over the obscenity and called about 3 or 4 weeks later. There was no credit and the guy who answered the phone was indignant that I would even have a credit. Rather than beg for a free pizza I just go elsewhere now and will never go back to Irving street pizza.
(1)Seanna S.
Awesome little pizza place. Green salad and veggie pizza was great. Beer was great. Will stop in again next time I'm hungry and in the neighborhood.
(3)Patrick C.
I stopped by to have a slice since I always walk by after work. I decided to go in and try a slice since the slices looked great from the window. Before I could even enjoy my barely cook pizza, the guys took my cash and gave me my change. I proceeded to watch him NOT wash his hands after handling money and touch my slice with his bare hands. All it takes is for one mistake like that for me to never come back again. Handling money and not washing your hands before handling food is a NO NO.
(1)Vinh T.
I use to come here when it was napolies and then when they first changed to irving pizza all the way till recently. What happened to the quality??? The pizza use to taste so good but now, I didn't even want to come back here no more. I got a combo and a hawaiian slice that was sitting on the counter and when I got home (15 blocks driving) it was cold already. The crust sucked and was kinda under cooked. 2 stars for now since this place was my favorite for over 10 years. I don't know if there has been a change of ownership or what but I will give this place another try and update the ratings. Till then.....
(2)Zach H.
Dont ever waste your time with the blonde girl. Her ogre-ish smile is a lie. She always has something up her ass and she never does a damn thing. Thanks for pissing me off enough to the point of writing this bs. If your gona be a server please don't be a cold ugly bitch. Also while im talking about this lil blonde ive seen her eat before on the job then serve people before washing. Ive worked in the food industry before and thats a red flag Thats dirty bitch, if your gonna be a bitch and serve me, at least wash your hands. Hope you read this and i hope you fall down some stairs. IF YOU WORK FOR IRVING PIZZA PLEASE CHECK YOUR CAMERAS AND GET THIS GIRL OUT OF HERE. SHE IS RUINING YOUR BUSINESS AND IMAGE.
(1)J H.
I miss having late night pizza with you, Irving. Your double baked, crispy, scalding hunk of cheese and dough - I still love you.
(4)B L.
I just got home from work super-late and realized at 12:30 AM that I needed to eat dinner. Yelp said that this was where to go that was still open. Since I had this as sober pizza, three stars. If I'd had it after drinking, it'd have been four stars.
(3)Juliana S.
Fairly ok pizza at decent prices. The late hours earned them an extra star. If you happen to be stuck out in the sunset waiting for muni late at night for whatever reason this is a solid heaven.
(4)Emily M.
Finally ate something here after hearing about it for years as the ultimate drunk food from a friend who lives nearby. I was amazed how good it was for "drunk food" pizza. We were there at about 11 or so and the place was trashed. Atmospheric it is not.
(4)Alexander W.
This is a solid pizza place in the sunset. There are others that are maybe on par with this place(Cybelle's, Mr. Pizza Geary), but I have nothing bad to say about Irving Pizza. Every ingredient is fresh and delicious. Their Hawaian slice is heavenly. The sandwhiches are great too. This is not a gourmet italian restaurant, it is a pizzeria where you can get a cheap bite to eat and be happy with it. Good selection of beers BUT I'm knocking them down a star for not having half of them in stock for about 3 straight weeks. The staff isn't spectacular, but you know what, they're getting paid minimum wage. They're nice enough and competent. Quick delivery by a not so friendly delivery guy. Compared to their downtown location, this place is much better quality in regards to food, staff, and efficiency.
(4)Kenny L.
one star for pesto pizza one star for being open late one star for good service and one star for opening extra late. the pizza here is OK, i like their pesto and hawaiian tho
(4)Sean T.
This place holds a special place in my heart, mainly because it's close to where a lot of my friends live. Also the pizza is pretty damn good too. i recommend their pesto and the cheese. They are always friendly and they are always watching either sports or seinfeld which is always a nice added bonus when you are waiting for your pizza. I like to think of this place as the calmer friendlier version of "Escape From New York Pizza" but that might just be because it's in the Sunset. Anyways Chill atmosphere Chill staff good pizza good cheap pitchers of beer
(4)Bert K.
I like their pizza with flavorful meat and cheeses , and italian spices I remember as kid, AND medium thin crust. Decent prices and service. Good lunch specials. Not much ambiance but low price. get a slice or a pizza to go! All I know is their pizza is tasety. By the slice its only fair Decor: eh, low rent.
(3)ron c.
This place is great for nice delicious slice of San Francisco pizza and soda. Nothing is more enjoyable than this awesome meal. The place just got remodeled and is always clean. The staff is friendly and the pizza tastes great. My favorite is a slice of pesto with sausage and fresh tomotas topped with melted mozzarella. Thanks Irving for the deliciousoso!!!! :o)
(5)Chris M.
Granted, I didn't order pizza. I ordered their mozzarella sticks (I was having a craving) and buffalo wings. The wings were not traditional buffalo wings, but fried/lightly spicy-battered with dipping sauce. The wings appeared to be that of a chicken so tiny it could barely support its own weight. The mozzarella sticks were the kind you get from Sam's Club, but deep fried. And the price was laughable. I sure hope the pizza is good, but if these are appetizers then I'm for sure I would've walked out immediately had I been sitting down.
(1)Zoeboe D.
While the pizza is not "bad" persay, I swear there's something in the cheese they use that always makes me sick. They get 3 stars since they're open late and they have other things on the menu other than pizza. The dudes that work there are also pretty cool =)
(3)Russ N.
Yes, the pizza by the slice has probably been sitting in the window for hours. Yes, the pizza doesn't look so appetizing. However,.... When they heat those slices up and I tasty that first crunchy bite, I can't help buy think...that is a good slice of thin crust pizza!! This place is definitely our favorite pizza place in the city. Although we've had other great pizza from Milano's, Seniore's, and Patxi's, we love Irving Pizza's crust!!
(4)Marcus V.
This place is pretty tasty. I usually have it for late night meals. It always satisfies my hunger. For the amount you pay - you definitely get your money's worth.
(4)Wayne W.
I showed up when it was reasonably busy (early dinnertime on a Friday night) but their by-the slices were all really, really, really gnarly looking. I got the cheese because it was by far the freshest looking. The taste of left-out was still very strong, but I could tell it was probably never very good to begin with. It's sad, but I've tasted enough cheap pizza that I can confidently estimate what this thing's flavor would have been like if it's sell-by date hadn't been reached. I am a forensic pathologist of by-the-slice pizza. It was also served hot as hell. I don't know why bad pizza places do this. It's like they see that relationship between "hot" and "fresh", and think that adding insane amounts of extra hotness will makes up for the godawful lack of freshness. But it only causes pain. On the plus side, a pitcher of Pabst is only $7.00, and if you know me you know I love the Blue Ribbon. It makes me feel like I've won. It makes me feel like I am the best. So it gets a second star, for the Pabst, and for letting its obligatory wall of photos get so abysmally filthy. I'm being serious: I think there may be actual shit on it.

service sucks. lifeless women who work behind the counter. seriously, just watch them work. im the only guy sitting at the bar, without a pizza, waiting in front of your face. hand the pizza to me when its done, there's no need to let it sit unattended, unannounced on the counter, im right here. i see you walk right past me to talk on the phone. did you forget my face? are you that fuckin oblivious?

For a fast lunch, one slice after my scouting. Not bad.

Well, I know it's not the best pizza, but when it's only 2 blocks from your house...mmm it fast can become the best pizza. The key to getting a decent slice is to ask them if they have anything fresh coming out...if not and the pizza looks like astronaut icecream, then I would say to pass and call up Seniores. But other than that, the pizza is quite good and they're open past 2am on the weekends. I've had their salads which aren't bad either. During lunch, they have a pizza/beer special for about $5. I've never been here for breakfast...so cant comment there. Oh and one more thing - the service can be extremely crappy at times, along with the tv channel. If you see a Russain guy named Vlad (a.k.a Vlad the Douche)...be prepared to repeat yourself because he'll be too busy watching re-runs of Family Matters.

I tried a fresh pepperoni slice last night for a quick bite after classes, so I wasn't drunk like the other reviewers. I heard they were NY style and even though their sign states that they were born in NY and raised in SF, it falls short of being a "NY style" pizza. The crust was on the softer, doughy side, not crunchy and regular in terms of thickness. Although, I consider them average, they do accept credit cards (American Express) and they offer a punch card for a free slice and fountain drink after 6 purchases (no minimum listed). The self-serve water container (next to the fountain machine not a part of it) is mixed with limes but it still fails in masking the tap water taste. One wonders if it's even filtered. The prices are fairly reasonable at $3.25 for a pepperoni slice but there are better pizza places in the city.

If you're in the mood for late night snacking or a decent pizza fix, this is the place to go. It's a small place with a average amount of tables to sit at. The only thing is that I don't know how long their pies sit out in the open, underneath the heat lamps...

Crispy crust that holds the goodies without disintegrating. Always something good on TV. Pepperoni that has taste in addition to texture. And since this is a late-night kind of place when everywhere else is closed, parking is never a problem, even for this neighborhood. And if you're not in the mood for pizza, you're sure to find something in the 20th/Irving "gauntlet" to satisfy your craving: KFC, PPQ, Chabaa Thai, Wonderful Foods, ...

Good pizza when you eat there and get slices. The pizza that is delivered is not as good. Probably because it does not sit out as long and collect grease. The prices are good and so are the employees. Eat here almost every week since I moved to san francisco. The End.

Pretty good Veggie slice, but the price of admission is simply ridiculous; for a dollar more, I can get two meals from a sandwich from either Handy's or Lucca's. Good, but not the best.

You people giving out stars must be crazy. I live 2 blocks away, and there's no other pizza nearby. I love pizza and gotta have it. Often. E-v-e-r-y s-i-n-g-l-e t-i-m-e I have had a slice at this place, it is pretty bad to pretty sh-ty. Just look at it sitting there before you order, do you really want something that unappetizing? Looks like once soaked, now dried-up cardboard, and tastes only as good as the topping on the surface. Really, really sub par. Staff is neither friendly nor troubling, they just goo about their business. I am glad one guy no longer seems to work there. He was young 20something and looked and acted like he wished he was elsewhere. When I saw him cough into his hand and then touch the pizzas to get them into their pans for display, I knew I'd tasted my last slice of theirs. (fortunately I haven't seen him in a while; hope they got rid of him). Now I trek when the zza craving strikes.

Good pizza, I called for delivery. Pizza was good. The lady on the phone was getting confuse and made me felt uncomfortable but the pizza made up for the service and it was hot!!! I even save some and ate some the next day!

I think the only times i've gone to Irving Pizza is late night...the pizzas here are delicious and filling when intoxicated, considering its usually 2AM-3AM when nothing else is open!! maybe i will update when i try it during the day, sober.

Top Five Reason to be Thankful for Irving Pizza: Thank you Irving Pizza for suppressing my stomach. Thank you Irving Pizza for opening late. Thank you Irving Pizza for the Pepperoni and Combo pizza. Thank you Irving Pizza for burning my tongue. And finally and certainly not least.... Thank you Irving Pizza for greasing and oily my stomach lining.

Its taste good, still open after 2 am Sunday early morning after I got back from Trader Sam. I think it opens till 3 am on the weekend at this location. I took it home to eat. Still warm when I walk home.

I eat here quite a bit, since its the closest pizza place to my buddies house. The interesting part is that I eat hamburgers and CHEESEBURGERS from this place!!! Thats right, they have, seriously, some of the best hambugers around! Not to mention that they deliver them, and they're under 7 dollars WITH steak fries!! Its nuts I know! As for the pizza, no one I know particularly likes it. We eat it from time to time, either a whole pie or more likely by the slice, and its not bad or anything though. Bottom Line: Decent little pizza joint, that for no good reason has great hamburgers/cheeseburgers. Its a small little place with nice staff, and decent prices. Stop by if you're in the area, but dont expect too much from the pizza.

I come here about once a week for a hot fast decent dinner to-go. Love their Combo & Sausage pizza and I always have first slide of each for my routine dinner. :P Cost $7 and I am so satisfied. Personally prefer Irving Pizza than Seniore's Pizza, personal preference.

Recently after the remodeling they've hired new staff which is great. But I don't think they know how long to bake the pizza for...it's very VERY chewy the two other times I've gone, instead of crispy that it was before. I'm so disappointed, there goes my tasty cheap pizza :(

Sometimes places have off nights so I'm updating my review and give a 4 5 star.

Irving Pizza is the first stop after the first fifth of J.B. is gone dictating a return trip to Jerry's Liquor next door. I'll stop in and order a slice before i go get more beer and/or booze. Remember: Pesto, pesto, pesto. The pepperoni is a little too greasy. Oh & get 3 slices before a small pizza, you save money. I avoid eating here sober since i do it so much intoxicated .... don't' want to spoil the party, as they say.

Actually I want to give 3.5 this time. After 1am, everything is closed. Pretty much no choice but pizza. And I like sitting in warm room and waiting for them to delivery most of times. Although, I remember long time ago I walked in once or twice right before they closed. They gave me and my friend a couple of slides for free. How sweet treatment is that for our neighbor! Staying up almost everyday now. Ordered Appetizer Combo with Fries this time. It's the first time of this year eating such unhealthy late night food. Oh well, moving away soon, better food is waiting hopefully. But before that, what you gonna to do? Non food for a whole day, no time for cooking and no food left over. Oh yea, they are not bad at all. Anyway, 2 stars for the Appetizer was sucks... 1 more for the fries are really good and if I remembered correctly, their pizza supposedly really good too, I would give 3.9 stars... so here it is.

This pizza is the business.

Great slices when after a long night out, not so great when sober ( I feel the pizzas smell a bit different, I don't like it but I'm sure some people do). Overall though its good pizza. They have some appetizers - I ordered the garlic cheese bread once and it wasn't that good. I'd definitely come here on the late night to eat but not in other situations.

I don't love this place because it's literally a stone's toss from my apartment or because it's open until 2 AM. I don't know why but it somehow always hits the spot after a tough night of drinking and all you need is a hot slice of pizza. Irving Pizza has mastered the art of classic, simple, basic choices of pizza and combined it with a thin sliced crust that has just the right amount of crunch to it. All their toppings always taste fresh and not dried out. It's definitely a great one stop shop for a cheap beer on draft and a couple great slices of pizza!

Great place to grab pizza for lunch. I've been here a few times with my brother and it always seems to hit the spot. Probably because of all the greasy goodness that each slice of pizza holds. They sell by the slice and we always each get the 2 fat pepperoni slices + soda deal. Well worth it. This place is less than 10 blocks from home, so it's convenient. It's relatively small but it's never too busy. They have a small TV there to watch, from what I remember it's usually on BET. One time Alicia Key's music video was on and a lady, who was by herself, started to talk out loud. "She can't sing! She can't dance!" Yeah, you're bound to meet a few characters out on this side of Irving. There are quite a few other items on the menu, but I doubt I am going to try them anytime soon. When I come here, I come here for the NY style pizza.

My housemate orders this pizza all the time... I can't resist pizza, I love it. But I've gotten sick from irving pizza 2 times. What are you putting in your pizza people? Stop it, because I can't stop eating you. ---------------- So you know how I said I eat this pizza all the time because it there, all the time. I don't get sick anymore. I think it was fluke... I think this is the best pizza in the sunset. Really fast delivery too. It is greasy... but that's why you blot it, like all pizza :)
