pizza is solid, but i really love the extras they provide for free (garlic powder, oregano, etc). it really takes the pizza to the next level. also the two slices and a soda for $5 is a good deal

10/17/2011 1 Check-in Here
The only reason we stopped by is because:
1) We were hungry
2) Were in a rush to get to the blue grass festival in SF
3) This place had an instant Groupon to get a $9 2-topping pizza.
The good thing about this place is that there was a very short waiting time (10 mins) and the pizza wasn't bad. But the bathroom needs to be cleaner - it was totally gross, and the surrounding neighborhood is extremely sketchy, smelly, and scary. -

This is an updated review of Galaxcy Pizza.
Easy to order via http://Grubhub.com
Tomato and Mushroom Pizza - This was a very good pizza. I really enjoyed the crust. It had a crispy bottom but it was thick enough to have that nice bread-like flavor. The toppings were fresh. The sauce was tangy.
http://tinyurl.com/5rq...
Jumbo Chicken Strips - The jumbo chicken strips were basically identical to the chicken select strips served at McDonald's. This did not bother me. I like them. They have a decent amount of seasoning. Some may prefer less breading and more chicken.
http://tinyurl.com/6zg...
Delivery - Order was placed at 5:27 PM. The order was delivered at 6:03 PM. Delivery time of 36 minutes. There is no delivery fee.
Minimum Order - It is very low ($13).
Prices - The prices are very much in-line with expectations for quality pizza delivery.
3 Can of Soda $ 3.00
1 Jumbo Chicken Strip $ 4.99
1 14 "Cheese Pizza" $ 14.99
Subtotal $22.98
Tax $2.18
Total $25.16
Overall, I've had number good experience with Galaxcy. The quality of the food has been good. The delivery has been fast. The prices are decent.Listed in: Mark's - They Deliver List, Mark's Pizza and Calzone List…

This place use to be great, not so much anymore. What use to be a great deal, not so much anymore. I've been charged a different price for the same pizza on my last 3 visits. If you show up for pickup early, they pull your pizza out of the oven...regardless if it's done. Ugh!

Like everyone else said, the pizza is frozen. I would shrug it off if (1) the restaurant was located in a frozen tundra, or (2) I was in the Donner Party, but alas this is still the Tenderloin, and even in the Tenderloin food should be cooked all the way.
Also, they put their salt in the same container as as the Parmesan cheese, so I ended up having a salt pizza one time. Not holding it against the place, but be aware. -

I am sad that they suddenly started charging a delivery fee. Total bummer so I ordered from somewhere else tonight. We had a good 6 years together. Since this place is in the Tenderloin it was great that they delivered since I don't like to go to that area at night. No need to pay a delivery fee when I looked and found 24 other late night pizza places that deliver to me for free!

I decided to overlook the fact that they obviously can't spell Galaxy, but perhaps there is some other Galaxy Pizza place and legal issues are involved? Who knows, but if there IS another Galaxy Pizza, I hope to hell their pizza is better then the stuff I just had from here.
I ordered buffalo wings. What I got were plain chicken wings with no sauce, just a packet of ranch dressing (the kind that you find in the deli cooler at a gas station).
The pizza arrived lukewarm. I had to fire up my own oven to finish cooking the damned thing. The whole point of ordering out tonight was so that I wouldn't HAVE to use the oven, so it kinda defeats the purpose.
At least the plain chicken was piping hot. The pizza was nothing to write home about, but I will commend them for the fast delivery, though they are probably only fast because they didn't finish cooking the pizza.
NOT ordering from here again. Like many others said, there are better options around town for the same price. -

What's with all the Galaxcy hate? It's pizza. Are you really trying to get an "authentic" Italian meal out of this? You probably only get pizza for one (or more) of the following reasons:
1) You're drunk and hungry
2) You're too lazy to cook
3) You're poor
4) You're cheap (there's a difference)
5) You're too lazy to retrieve food that's lies further than your doorstep (delivery, people)
6) You just want to be a fatty--totally sober and at a shamelessly reasonable hour
That being said, how are you going to knock on Galacxy? How many times has it "saved your life" on one of those nights where your "last drink" happened to be an Adios? Shame on you.
Beat this: 2 medium pizzas/ 2 toppings each/ 2 liter soda for $19.99
And just in case you were wondering, I fall into a combination of categories 2, 3, 4, 5, but mostly 6. It's winter--I need to accumulate enough blubber, or whatever it is that bears do to hibernate, so that I can no longer fit into any of my "club" clothes...okay, okay...ANY of my clothes. Sorry, it makes it easier for me to be hermit this way.Listed in: Da TenderNob, Delivery in the Bay

C'mon, this place isn't THAT bad... Some of you poor Yelpers are certainly living sheltered lives if this is the worst pizza you've ever had. Try ringing Mr. Pizza Man sometime for a truly abysmal pizza experience.
Anyways, yeah, this pizza is far from the best... It's not that great, but it's not inedible. A pro is that you can get friez with your piez, I'm not sure if that's your thing but it's certainly mine.
The staff here is friendly enough, considering they have to deal with the TL riff-raff that must wander into their establishment. And the best parts of this place is that it's only a couple blocks from my school and open late... Oh, and not to mention ridiculously cheap.
I'd say the worst part about this place is that they have a TV playing with crap like Dr. Phil, Jerry Springer, and all that mindless, mundane garbage that actually makes me feel less intelligent after sitting and listening to it for 5 minutes.Listed in: PIZZA TIME!

We had a respectfully good first time delivery experience with Galaxy Pizza this week. When you want a late night pizza delivered to your office there really are not that many choices in SF and Galaxy is open till 12 AM on weekdays and 1 AM Fri/Sat.
They promised our order within 45 minutes and it arrived in under 35 minutes!
The large shrimp salad for $5.99 had fresh mixed greens and a decent amount of bay shrimp. The 10 buffalo wings for $6.50 were plump, juicy, and fried in fresh oil. One setback was that the wings did not arrive with celery sticks and ranch dressing. I'm not sure if they were supposed to or not because it did not say on their menu but most other pizza places include them.
The pizzas were commendably tasty! The small "Jupiter" for $14.40 had salami, pepperoni, ham, ground beef, sausage, onions, olives, mushrooms, and tomatoes. I would definitely order this again! We also did a special order small vegetarian pizza for $12.74, even though they also have at least 3 veggie menu pizzas to choose from along with a wide selection of toppings. Galaxy Pizza's menu is huge so we look forward to trying them again in the future! -

2 stars for the decor.
0 for the frozen reheated pizza. Frozen semi-reheated shrimp (YUCK!) Spent $8 to throw my food in the trash. I try to patronize businesses in my neighborhood but these guys make it hard. -

I was honestly a bit skeptical to order my pizza from here last night, but it was between this and domino's... It was a clear choice.
When we called in our delivery they said it would take between 35-45 minutes, but it took more like 25-30 (woo hoo!).
The large pepperoni pizza we ordered was surprisingly delectable! It had just enough grease to make me feel like I'm not eating cardboard, but it wasn't dripping in it either. It was delivered hot and fast, and it was more than enough to fill up two of us.
Note: The cold pizza leftovers made for an awesome breakfast this morning. -

You probably won't believe me, but I've ordered food from Galaxcy Pizza but have never had their pizza. Let me explain. I gave up cheese this past Lent, and doing so seriously crimped my habit of ordering delivery every other weekend or so. Having had all the Indian and Chinese food I could stomach, I somehow figured out that Galaxcy Pizza serves sandwiches. Oh, did I mention that I don't eat meat? So in addition to not being able to eat cheese, I also couldn't eat meat. All of you vegetarians well know that delivery places, especially late-night delivery places, usually have cheese everything as their vegetarian options.
So I ordered some kind of garlicky pestoey sandwich from Galaxcy. OK, maybe there wasn't pesto, but there was definitely garlic and lots of it. Surprisingly, the sandwich was relatively good. I was expecting a greasy, disgusting, unappetizing mess; and although the sandwich was kind of a mess, it wasn't enough of any of those other things to make me not finish it. I should also say that I was really hungry, so I may be giving Galaxcy the benefit of the doubt.
So three stars for having sandwiches that don't have cheese. Beyond that, not too many more stars. The prices are OK, but the delivery was a little slow.
UPDATE: 5/12/10

So I've now tried their pizza. It's cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for. It's not bad, but it's not good either.Listed in: Pizzas of San Francisco, Food after Midnight

Personally, I was just glad to find a place that wasn't serving either thin crust or gourmet pizza. The fact that it's a block up Hyde from school was just icing on the cake.
This is your traditional thick-crust grease pie with a little cheese and meat mixed in. Said cheese was thick and flavorful, and the meat held its own, too. If I had one complaint it's that the crust was a little too doughy, but I got a huge slice and a soda for a little over $3. It's almost as good as the jumbo hot dog and soda special from Happy Donut, except I don't have to feel ridiculous for ordering a hot dog at Happy Donut.
This place is a winner, just don't expect a mind-blowing restaurant experience from cheap pizza smack dab in the Tenderloin. -

I ate here last week. Never again. First of all they have misspelled "Galaxy" adding a "c" to it. That's bad enough. The pizza is very bad, which is really not acceptable, when decent pizza is available all over town.
The pizza pies appeared to be have been baked hours before lunchtime, if not the previous day. Pizzas at lunchtime should be fresh. The dough was spongy, which made me suspect they reheating it in a microwave. -

If you are hungry this place will taste amazing. BUT you have to really really hungry. Eat your arm kind of hungry.
Overall though the pizza is mediocre.
The dough makes a big difference and it is lacking.
You get what you pay for.
I recommend the pesto as the flavors help compensate for the short comings. -

Ordered pizza tonight. I've never had their pizza, but figured I'd try it. The delivery was QUICK. Twenty five minutes instead of thirty five and my order was correct. My pizza was luke-warm and they only gave me one packet of cheese. Not enough for a medium pizza, that's for sure! The pizza itself was simply, ok; nothing "exciting" about it and definitely nothing to spread the word about. "Meh. I've experienced better."
Will I order again? Nope. There are DEFINITELY better choices for pizza in this city. First impressions are always the MOST IMPORTANT and they did NOT deliver:( -

This place can't even spell the name of their establishment right. let alone make even a decent slice of pizza. Stopped by here with an out of town friend once on the way to take him back to the train station.
Pretty shitty way to send my homie off it turns out. Dough wasn't even cooked all the way through, cheese not melted all they way, low quality toppings, pretty much everything you can get wrong they did. Only reason I'm giving two stars is that the staff was pretty nice I guess. Stay away from this one. Pronto pizza around the corner owns this place and is the same price. -

Placed an order for delivery thru GrubHub. Ordered the following:
- Seafood Combo and Chips
- Combo Kebab
- Tiramisu
Got a call from the restaurant about 5 minutes after placing my order online...no combo kebab available...bummer...got the Philly Beef Sandwich instead.
Delivery guy calls me from his cell phone to notify me that he's outside the apartment complex...even after I left specific instructions to dial me from the security computer outside the building. This, of course, means that I need to get off my butt and go down stairs to get my food. I freaking HATE delivery guys that are too lazy to deliver to my front door!!!
The Seafood Combo and Chips are advertised as follows:
3 prawns, 5 calamari, 1 fish and 3 scallops. Served with tarter sauce, malt vinegar, ketchup and marinated sauce.
What do I actually end up receiving? 3 prawns, 5 calamari, 1 fish, NO SCALLOPS, NO TARTER SAUCE and NO MALT VINEGAR!!!!!!
How the F am I supposed to eat my fish without tarter sauce and malt vinegar????!!!! And where the F are my scallops???!!!!
I should have gotten a clue about this place from its name...Galaxy Pizza...bunch of freaking space cadets working there!!!!
Thanks for not delivering to my door, ripping me off and the crap dinner! -

Why the "c" in "Galaxcy"? Does it have something to do with the "c" being shaped like a Soviet sickle? Who knows? Between Galaxcy and Le Petitt's across the street, this stretch of Golden Gate is good for mavericky spelling. Someone should open a Tackqyria.
Bless these guys for sticking their necks out and being open so late in the Loin (till midnight as of this writing). I live in UC-Hastings student housing, and if I didn't have Galaxcy, I'd have to go to Irving Pizza on Geary.
Slices are huge, almost cut at an obtuse angle. The crust is toughish, like cardboard, and about as thick. It's satisfying to tear off a bite and chew. There's a perfect 1:1 crust:topping ratio. Tastzy. Thanxk you, Galaxcy! -

The food was really good. Of course, I was starving after waiting an hour.
I did try the spaghetti w/meatballs with a garden salad. It was definitely hearty and the portions were generous for the price.
Ordered via http://delivery.com, so everything was convenient. It took about an hour to show up. The food was fresh and hot.
The only improvement would be to get delivery time to 30 mins, 45 max. -

pizza pretty much sucked. it was pretty bland although they try to get their pies all fancy and spruced up with cool sounding names and 'WILD AND WACCCCKYYYYY' ingredients. Just give it up. Focus on making a good pizza.
We got the delivery which took about 50 minutes (we were down the street; yea, we're lazy. stop judging). when the delivery guy came he was just yelling about gibberish for like 10 minutes. i had no idea what he was yelling about, what he wanted, nor was I able to comprehend a single word he muttered from his mustached mouth.

Just what I needed.
I hadn't had pizza in probably two or three months. And in fact recently my body has been low on the grease and cheese food group. So I ordered a 16" (large) pepperoni pizza from here and ate three fifths of it. You can't really beat the $12 price on this thing.
The pizza itself was pretty good but nothing to write home about (unless your mom happens to read Yelp). It basically just really hit the spot. -

I've had lunch here every day for the last two weeks. @ $3 for two slices, this ranks among the Saigon Sandwiches of the city for best dollar to (calorie and flavor) ratio. I wish Yelp had a more explicit metric for that.
Being a tenderloin establishment, the clientele are on the shady-side, but is still this a nice quick cheap place to fill up your tummy, and you can enjoy some CNN while you're there. -

Awesome food! I don't know how some people gave 1 star and said their food was part frozen or missing parts of the meal, I've honestly never experienced this. Tasty food (I've ordered almost everything on the menu at least once at one point or another) they have delivery or pick up, no complaints. Mozzarella sticks, green salad, all the hot sandwiches, lasagna, delicious! I order here weekly, nothing making me chose somewhere else...

Galaxcy Pizza is not great by any means. Sometimes it's less-than average. Sometimes it's above average. The best I've gotten from here is when i ask for it "well done." Ask for the specials. Cause otherwise it's really expensive. But if you get a special, it's all good.
They have curly fries. I'm afraid to try them. -

I can't believe there isn't a review for this place already on here! Galaxy looks kinda sketch from the outside, but it's really quaint inside with GOOD food. I've tried many of the sandwiches and pizza, and maybe I'm the only one who will say it, but I like it more than the food next door at the ever-so-popular Morty's. The sandwiches are large and stuffed with all the goodies, and they will stick the pizza back in the oven for you at your request so it's warm and crispy. The crust is excellent. Plus, the staff is extremely friendly and will add on extra cheese or veggies at no cost. There are clean tables and a TV so you can catch up on the news during lunch time.

for an ALIEN without his legitimate green Martian space ship, I could enter his dining canteeno for $2.71...pepperoni pizza slice...$3.71 for a veggie??? got the pepperoni...more protein...at 11:30am on a sunday.
obviously, he has never been to New Yawk, but hey, this is closest to Bizarre-kly if he takes BART and walks a few blocks, he's open almost 24/7, hires LaRaZA, and isn't that dirty, yet.
what more do you want in the Tender?????
Better than the $7 noodles at Asian Art Museum, shorter lines on Sunday. Did not have to encounter the skat-infused shoeless blanket man. -

I have a "don't really" love, but "can't really hate" relationship with this place, after all they are just trying hard to survive on a dismal corner serving a neighborhood customer base you wouldn't wish on the Probation Dept. The staff are friendly enough, even if their gourmet skills are less than what you might desire. Unfortunately, this place is known as Galaxcy Pizza, when Pizza isn't the main reason I get food items from here anymore. The Pizza, is sorta ok if you're not a snob, not all that bad or great...just there. They always have a few other options for the hungry, including a memorable vegetarian dal-like soup I had once. With the menu board augmented by a wide variety of items including sandwiches, greek salads, fried junk foods like chicken wings & strips, onion rings, cheesy fries or fish & chips etc. One can actually leave the sad looking slices behind and still satiate a hunger on a barebones budget. Lately, they even have beer, ranging from $1.50 Tecate in a can to bottled microbrews like Sierra Nevada for $3.50. There are now Happy Hour draft beer prices with the recent addition of taps too...
The atmosphere ain't glamorous of course, but now has moved beyond the plain plastic chairs, formica tables, the owner recently adding a dark marble-esque counter and wine rack that give the place an almost classy air. I joked with the recent immigrant guys behind the counter that all that's missing were the curtains & candles.
There's still usually a tv on too loud showing one of those inane 24 hour news blathering channels, while the random denizens of the neighborhood stroll in. The new darker lighting motif is nicer than before, but the menu fare and pricing is exactly the same.
Kudos for Galaxcy for at least offering this neighborhood something to eat in a safe & semi clean environs for folks with less than big bucks after 9 pm in a sketchy hood. Anyone expecting more should head over to Little Star or Delfina and wait in line with the wannabee$. -

I came to eat pizza here whe n I came out of class on the day last week. Mary took me here and when we ordered a pizza I didn't want the mushrooms so I don't like the mushromms on the pizza. For the one half that I ate we put on just cheese only and then Mary put on her half some mushrooms and then the green peppers that are not to spicy for me. The pizza half I ate was good only but with the green peppers and some mushrooms it was not really good. It was to much different peices of stuff. I only like eating pizza with only cheese. Rudy says 5 stars.

Hey thanks for bringing me undercooked chicken strips, delivery guy who called my phone instead of ringing the buzzer to have to walk up one floor. I get quite a bit of takeout and this is the coldest food I've ever had delivered. I was pretty meh on the whole meal but biting into a near raw piece of chicken solidified that fact that I can get much better elsewhere. I haven't written a review in ages but this was one of those times where I felt compelled.

Hey guys, you might want to look into the creeps you have helping you distribute flyers. In a two block radius I saw several of your flyers on the street, then I saw your flyer dude. He stuck some flyers on a doorknob, they didn't stick, he saw this, and let your advertisments become litter. As I walked home I noticed the houses with stairs didn't have flyers around their doorknobs, but instead had flyers littered on their steps. Maybe a more fit flyer hanger is in order...can't...walk up....5 steps...to hang flyer...too much cheese pizza...clogs my arteries...ahhh.

Usually I would have a hissy fit about where my tummy, mouth and mind can have pizza. But I was trying to be nice and just go with the flow. All I can say about this pizza is that it's edible. There is absolutely nothing special about it, its actually one of the worst pizza's I have eaten (North Beach is by far the worst) the only positive thing is that they slop on those toppings.
