Goat Hill Pizza

I can honestly say, with no doubt in my mind, that this is the strangest pizza place I’ve ever eaten in.

Good Sourdough Crust
On A Pizza Sure’s A Must
Fast Service or Bust
Best pizza delivery in SoMa so far! Ordered the Chicken Florentine pizza (mush, spin, chick). Topping and flavors are well balanced and the crispy sourdough crust is exceptional — if you like it crunchy. Was quoted 45 minutes but the pizza arrived in 25!!!

Don’t do it. We ordered to try to break the Amici’s strangehold on pizza delivery in our neighborhood, and despite my lack of love for Amici’s, we will not order Goat Hill again.
Garlic bread is basically the defrosted frozen variety you get from Safeway or Costco. Pizza seems to use canned ingredients and processed cheese. Extra large here is the same size as Amici’s large. I’ll reluctantly hold my nose and order Amici, and continue to fervently pray that Sally’s or Pepe’s from New Haven, Conn. magically decide to open a San Francisco outpost in SOMA.
One extra star for the friendly delivery woman.

Horrible place to eat. Inside is the dank vaguely beery smell of the nightclub, a cross between the smell of a frat house and a litterbox.
The pizza is thin, tasteless, and served by indifferent staff.

Closed!

My manager was feeling super generous one lunch and ordered from this place for us. He picked it up and had salad ordered with it. I really have to say, I’ve experienced the place as a club and thought it was a dirty… and now to experience it as a restaurant I feel grossed out.
The pizza was just plain «blah.» Cheese normally has flavor, especially when it’s with greasy meats… but it tasted like grease slathered on top of cardboard. When I looked looked at the bottom of the crust it matched the box it came in too.
I guess you really shouldn’t trust pizza from a place that has cages that people ooze their sexual juices all over.

WHAT A MISTAKE! We don’t eat pizza here in our office very often, so when my officemate and I both said, «PIZZA!» it was with great excitement that we discussed our ordering options. We should have come to Unilocal first :(Dixie remembered how much she loved Goat Hill, and since I’d never had it, I agreed to give it a try. That was our second error :(
Though the pizza arrived timely (45 minutes), what we received was such a disappointment.
The crust was flavorless and the bottom crust especially was the consistency of cardboard. My teeth still feel kinda tender an hour later. The sauce had no flavor and the extra cheese we ordered was practically nonexistent. The whole experience was a perfect BLAH.
Maybe they’re better if you go into the restaurant, but I know I’ll NEVER order them up for delivery again.
YUCK.

Good fresh pizza with a great crust. We ordered from Goat Hill for a lunch meeting and it was much better (and cheaper!) than Extreme Pizza. We ordered the Italian Sausage pizza and the Vegetarian. My meat-​eating coworkers enjoyed their pizza though I cannot vouch for its flavor. The Vegetarian pizza was decent, something about the toppings was off. The fresh garlic was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the crust on the pizza, I think this is what sets them apart from Extreme, and that the pizza actually tastes fresh and handmade. We also ordered a large salad which came with mixed greens, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, olives and peppercinis. They even included 3 dressings; italian vinaigrette, blue cheese, and ranch. Their ranch dressing was a++.

Well, it’s hard to believe it but I actually really liked this pizza place! I am a tough pizza critic, despite my love for Domino’s (my parents have served me Domino’s pizza since I was like 5, so I’m kinda of addicted). When we learned that Domino’s does not deliver to my boyfriend’s building in SOMA we were like, crap. We love the same type of pizza byt we differ in our love for brands. Again, because of what our parents use to feed us!
So, It goes like this… I enjoy a thin to medium thin crust, a tangy sauce, and delicious, large toppings. Goat Hill provides all these things. My boyfriend and I were being lazy all day today and decided delivery pizza was the best option with all the rain coming down. About 40 minutes after we called, a delicious pie arrived and we loved it! My half had pepperoni and pineapple (fantastic!!) and his half was Goat Hill combination and he loved it!
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because we are in a recession and this shit was expensive!!!
But, they do offer an all-​you-​can-​eat option! Check out their website for more details!

I LOOOOOVE Goat Hill. Love. Goat Hill. It’s so… tasty and fast and hot and… you get the idea. (They’re known for their sourdough crust. mmmm…)
I’ve never actually been in the restaurant, although I’ve walked past it numerous times when I used to work in the SOMA. I only have delivery experience with them. And my experience was always good.
The longest I have ever had to wait for their delivery is about 45 minutes at the most and my food always arrives piping hot. They give you these Goat Hill frequent buyer cards too!
I usually order the Meat Lover’s (pepperoni, salami, and Italian sausage) with mushrooms. I also get a Chef’s salad to accompany my pizza. Now, I’m not a salad person, but they know how to do salads well. It comes with the works – beets, pepperocinis, salami (Who puts salami on salads?!? I’m not complaining though), beans, lettuce… everything. So good! Your choice of dressing. My order usually costs no more than $ 25!
Fast, cheap, yummy! Get Goat Hill on a lazy weekend at home… and invite me over too!!!

Probably your best option for delivery pizza in the SOMA area. If you get it really fresh it’s delicious. If it steam cooks in the delivery bag for a while it ends up soggy — but that’s true of any delivery pizza. I wish all the pizza scientists out there would come up with a better technology so that delivery pizza isn’t soggy.
I ordered here last night and it came about 20 minutes after I called — lightning fast. Went with the meat lovers pizza and it was awesome. Light, fluffy crust and not soggy at all. There wasn’t a slice left when we were done with it. I’ve had Goat Hill deliver to bars and office buildings with no problems. Their delivery service and their pizza rocks! I really need to go to one of their all you can eat neighborhood nights one of these days.

I’ve been taking this Unilocal reviewing pretty seriously so I got a pizza from here exclusively to write a review about it…
It was alright. I think it might have been dropped because the cheese had slided all over the place. Some people may not eat a pizza that they suspect has been dropped — not me, oh no.
The garlic and mushrooms combo was delicious. I guess it was the crust that I had beef with. It was a mouthful. When I have to seriously invest energy in chewing pizza crust it’s just not worth it for me. And that’s too bad because crust can make or break a pizza.

I’ve only dined-​in at the Potrero Hill Location, pizza was pretty good but small and overpriced. It’s just pizza, and I love all kinds, including NYC style and Roman, having been on a tight budget when I had the opportunity to visit there for 5 weeks, I literally ate pizza every day. Anyway, pizza shouldn’t cost that much.
But the meatball sandwich I tried last time before going to Bottom of the Hill was divine! Yum meatballs and cheese, the best sandwich invention ever, and Goat Hill did not disappoint. I was a bit inebriated having come from band practice, but three of us ordered the same thing and cleaned our plates.

Ordered pizzas yesterday for a work lunch today from Goat Hill Pizza as they’re just up the road from us. I paid for 10 but they only delivered 9 :(When I called to ask if the missing pizza could be delivered plus an additional 4 pizzas (which we would pay for) I was advised that it would take 45 minutes for the 2^nd delivery to arrive — which I said was fine as I understand that lunch on a Friday is probably a busy time for them.
When the second order arrived we were charged for the extra 4 pizzas but didn’t receive the one that was missing from the first order! When I phoned them again to advise them of this they were rude to me and said they didn’t believe that we were one pizza short on the first order. I told them that we definately were short a pizza as I counted the empty boxes and there were only 9. They offered to give our next pizza free on our next order but I asked that they instead reimburse me for the pizza I never received. They asked how I paid and when I said by card he just curtly said ‘fine!’ and hung up!
You would think after spending over $ 350 with them that they might be a little more courteous. The stupid thing is they even have a deal called the baker’s dozen which would mean combining the two orders we should have gotten one free anyway so why make a big deal out if it? Their pizzas are great but their customer service sucks arse! Four star pizza minus three stars for the crappy service = one star.

My ex-boyfriend’s mother used to make lasagna using Prego Spaghetti Sauce and what I’m pretty sure was freezer burned cheese. It was rather inedible, but still better than Goat Hill’s lasagna. The ravioli here is equally terrible — and the salad is nothing to write home about.
Stick with the pizza — stay away from the pastas. As for the pizza — it’s not great, but it’s certainly better than most in SF. That’s right — I’ll say it again. Most SF pizza sucks. But this one doesn’t. I could deal with less cornmeal on my crust, but it still beats the pants off most pizza joints around here.

Shatangi found a new standard for office orders. Some work buddies and I ordered a pie earlier this week. Great price for fast and friendly delivery. The pizza arrived hot and in good condition. Generous but not over the top toppings and a great sauce. The crust stole the show! Crisp on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside.
Shatangi told you

So sometime between now and the last website update, this location stopped serving dinner, making it kind of awkward when I tried to meet some friends there.
Imagine our disappointment when, instead of the fabulous all-​you-​can-​eat dinner fare their website promises, we find a flourescent kitchen and two guys giving us strangely hostile looks. Yow.
We actually wound up going to the other Goat Hill, so intent were we on eating the tasty pizza. But it was not all-​you-​can-​eat night, so it was still a little sad.
Potential Goat Hill Diners, beware – don’t plan to eat dinner here!
Goat Hill Website Maintainers – please update the site and prevent future disappointment!

Super efficient on the phone. Speedy delivery and my pizza was piping hot when it got here today. What a lifeline when you’re working late. They also take credit cards which is sweet. I ordered a medium pepperoni (enough for two) and this is now my favorite delivery pizza in SOMA.

We are living the age of indirection I always say (meaning something else). Take Goat Hill Pizza. What is, a love letter? Life? Procrastination? Something nothing to do with food that is about food after all?
Goat Hill Pizza is in the flats a dozen feet above sea level. The original is on the shady side of Potrero Hill and, one imagines, a hundred years ago the extinct volcano was covered with grass and an old man herded goats here. Today the goats are elsewhere but we still eat feta.
The first is out of the way and hard to navigate, hard to park, so they made a new location to run deliveries in SOMA at the edge of where, in the epoch of goat, the sands of mission creek yielded to the gentle flanks of what used to be Rincon Hill — now it’s a land fill of tilting low industrial buildings, car washes, gas stations, and freeway construction; now you can call a ridiculously incompetent phone operator and an hour later three large and tasty pies and a few friends arrive, and Jean W is so in love with the new goat that she gives the deliveryboy a beer and he takes it. Gotta love history.
I don’t like pizza and if I did I would say that there is no good pizza in San Francisco. I am the last, therefore, who should reivew goat hill. But as pies go it’s not bad, better than most, actually one of the better ones in town, and I love the name and the image of goats on the grassy knoll while I fatten myself up for spring.
Then it hit me, the meaning of it all. I brought pizza home to Jean’s roommate and though he was in the bedroom with his significant otter he sensed my presence and that of the pizza, I knew he would enjoy it in the night and I was glad that it wasn’t just any old pizza, it was goat hill, man. Which makes me, the deliveryboy. And I was happy.
Jean told me a few days ago that reviews like this, the ones about everything but the food, are one reason she hopes San Francisco sinks into the waves whereupon she will flee for New York.
Gotta shout some reality about sourdough crust, though. It’s clever pizza base in many ways — sturdy, stout, does not go stale or soggy. But it’s chewy as all hell and does not go thin or take a crisp, which is why your friends all say they love the pizza but leave behind a rubble pile of crescent crusts. It’s a seductive false path, like pumpkin pasta or sugary salad dressing, easy to be good but never great. The flavor /​texture balance is all wrong. If sourdough needs a lover it’s chili or clam chowder, a thin slab of Molinari’s salami, but not tomato sauce and mozarella.. .
Whatever goat hill is, it is not a pipe. Sweet dreams, my goat, you are blessed. We will meet again some day, some day the metropolis. Non?

My friend and I went to an event at the Supper Club and we were starved! After a few glasses of wine we decided we must find some carb-​rich food. We stumbled into Goat Hill Pizza dining room in SOMA and it was surreal. In a pre-​City Nights night club setting there was one table covered with a table cloth, and we were the ONLY diners there… I swear we were caught in the filming of Scream III.
Nevertheless.the pizza and pasta were Goat Hill excellent and the service was superb…
We were happy to head back to the Supper Club with our stomachs happy.
The dining room is open during lunch and dinner until 9pm.
