"Decent food, but meat is a bit dry"
"I came in late at night after checking in at a hotel a few blocks away, and couldn't decide between some pizza and shawarma"
"Great late night go-to for a slice"
"This place is just amazing"
"One of the best pizza spots in the city! The workers who work here are extremely friendly and kind which makes the experience even better"
Decent food, but meat is a bit dry. I've had better but I've had worse middle eastern food. I wouldn't recommend this place mainly because the meat (while in more kabob style chunks) is just dry due to being overcooked. They are generous on how to you pick the sides (3 sides for a platter), but a side would include hummus or pita or rice or falafel or something else. It's odd to me that rice is a "side" given how ubiquitous rice is in middle eastern food (it's also a dirt cheap restaurant ingredient). I just felt like I was being a bit shortchanged considering it's about $20 per person to walk out the door. For a place you walk up to, order, and wait, it's a bit on the pricier sides in my opinion. Also, the ordering system is the same as everywhere- it will prompt you to tip them (of course) so keep strong and stick to what you think is right! In summary, ok food, nice variety, but a bit stingy on a $20 "plate" of food. If your hungry and it's late, this'll do, but I'm not going out of my way to go back.

I came in late at night after checking in at a hotel a few blocks away, and couldn't decide between some pizza and shawarma. Since I can never pass up lamb, I went with the lamb wrap to go. It was made to order, and delicious. I was surprised about this since it was late at night, and it looked like maybe all they were serving was takeaway slices. But no, what I got was a very good, fresh meal. Out on the east coast it seems they have a lot of hole in the wall pizza and sub shops, especially in Boston. This appears to be the San Francisco equivalent, which was great for me.

Great late night go-to for a slice. Most underrated menu item is their schwarma wrap. Add a falafel ball + extra tahini in there and your late,late night cravings will be fully taken care of.

Parking
Even late at night, you have to keep an eye out to snag street parking along California. But there are lots of app-delivery drivers here so typically something opens up quickly, especially if you just need to run in to grab your to go order.
This place is just amazing. I love their foods and services. There is a guy who gives a high quality service and always meet the custimers with smile. They serve only halal food. Recommend to stop by Nobhill Pizza and Shawarma if you come to California street

Coming to Nobhill Pizza & Shawarma was just by chance ... but I'm SO GLAD that we did. As amazing as the food was, the friendly, warm and kind welcome we received from the owners was even better. She (I'm sorry, I didn't catch her name) was so patient with us and immediately understood our daughter's appetite requests. Anytime we're back in town, it is now a must to come to Nobhill Pizza & Shawarma, and I highly recommend everyone else do the same. I wish them nothing but success, God willing!
3.5 stars We came here for a quick meal and a quick meal is what we got. I got the chicken shawarma and it was pretty good. It had some good flavors although the chicken was a little bland at times. I don’t think they flavors/seasoning was consistent throughout the whole shawarma. I really like the pita though and it was cooked to a nice crisp. Overall, it was a decent meal. I would take it to-go though as there are a lot of wasps near the door.
Being gluten intolerant limits a lot of food choices but they offer 2 different GF pizza sizes and no limitations for toppings. It was easily some of the most delicious fresh made pizza I have had.

I am a Korean studying abroad in Japan. My university sent me an American training course, so I visited this pizza restaurant near the hotel in February 2023. It was late Friday night, so many people came to eat pizza before going home after drinking. The pizza was really delicious.

The lamb shawarma wrap was on point and packed with protein, and the fries were perfectly crispy, golden brown and delicious even on their own, like ideal Burger King style fries. Got my money’s worth here and would stop by for another quick bite again.

Great stop for a quick bite or takeout! The Lamb Schwarma Wrap is definitely the way to go. It's enormous, loaded with plenty of meat and sauce, and comes with fries or a salad. This is a no frills environment so you're not coming here for the vibe but it certainly was an excellent quick lunch for me.

My favorite chicken shawarma place, and open till 3am!!! The Pizza here isnt bad but its not great either, french fries are good and and I pretty much only order Chicken Shawarma here- this last time, the chicken was a bit dry and i ordered extra humus but it didn't seem to be extra inside, so minus a star-maybe just an off night- I'll update next visit
5/02/23 nice lil joint. only did the basic shawarma wrap and a slice of hot pie. mayb a lil pricy in some way, but i enjoyed it. spicy chicken wrap was in that spice level. overall, its good.

I ordered the lamb shawarma, since that seems to be the most recommended option. I was given the option for spicy or mild and went with the spice. The wait was only 5 minutes. It was terrific and very meaty with the perfect amount of sauce without being too messy. I'll definitely be coming back here!
We are here several times during our visit to San Francisco. The people who work there are very kind. The food is great, everything from the sandwiches, to the shawarma and pizza was excellent. This was our favorite late night snack in the city.

The owner was so very kind. I got one cheese and one Pineapple and ranch on the side but honestly this pizza was so well seasoned and delicious I didn’t need the ranch at all. I also enjoy the option to a vitamin water to make me psychologically feel better about having pizza for breakfast …
Woman owned restaurant. Fantastic service. 100% Halal/Kosher (no pork on premise). Great tasting food. Pizza, shawarma and falafel all top rated with mix and match protein/meat/bread (so you can try for next visit).

Got the chicken pesto pizza and fries and they were AMAZING. Such good flavor and serving size for both at fair prices. The customer service was amazing too, it was 6pm and there was no more single slice chicken pesto pizza and he made a whole pizza to accommodate my request. Very satisfied!
The food is delicious (chicken plate, falafel, hummus), the delivery was quick, and they were so kind and gracious when I called. *The online ordering is extremely easy and convenient without all the delivery/added fees! If you want shawarma, this is one of the best in the neighborhood!!
Great Pizza and Kebab type Shop with a high food quality & highly recommended, expensive but not as expensive as a lot of the other local shops in Central San Francisco. Great selection of meals and easy to arrange delivery

It was such a great experience. (I am a foreigner) There is no room service in my hotel, so I ordered pizza here midnight. It is the only pizza delivery store in San Fransisco downtown even though Dominos’ pizza was closed midnight. I strongly recommend Nob Hill Pizza !
Had a great experience. They normally sell by the slice and don't have whole pizzas prices listed but they hooked me up. Pizza was on point. My wife doesn't really like pizza but she killed theirs. They are open late which was great for Fri night after a few bars.
Very good and delicious pizza, definitely expensive but since it’s in SF so it’s kinda expected. Generous and very nice staff! Overall good experience, great spot to try halal food when in town. Recommended!

Used to have a specific flavor to the pizza dough to make it stand out and that was five stars and delicious. Lately service hasn't been great and no flavor to pizza and missing ingredients hopefully it will get better again soon. (Long time customer)

Got delivery last night and it was pretty disappointing. I got the chicken pesto panini, Greek salad, and the chocolate mousse cake. The sandwich was actually pretty decent, but it kinda fell apart and was just a French roll which I don't
The best shawarma! Get the lamb. Pizza is great too. The staff are very friendly and quick to get your order out. I go here whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

Late night uber eats order while recently traveling in San Francisco. Tried the chicken pesto panini. Decent taste. Chicken pieces were a little bit dry. I think if there was more sauce, the sandwich would have been perfect.
Delicious shawarma & fresh salads! Great price & quality. Friendly owners. Used to be my favorite spot when I lived in that area, never got an order I didn't like. Plus, the last time I was there, they sold vanilla coke <3
The pizza was very soggy and seriously undercooked in the middle, crust was doughy and bland. Chicken and falafel in the combo plate were bone dry, rice had very little flavor

It's ok. I'll have to try it again perhaps after one of those random Polk Street bar hopping adventures to see if the food tastes better. I was expecting more from the shawarma, but the pepperoni pizza was solid.

I ordered through Grubhub. I liked the food but the delivery was about 13 minutes later than the latest estimate. Usually Grubhub has a map showing delivery status but it wasn’t working this night.

The best place ever for those who prefer Halal Food. All their foods taste well and the owner is just an awesome person. Happy that visited Nobhill with our friends …
Halal muslim owned place with seating. Taste good and i love it spicy! Price is fair considering the shawarma portion was very huge. Must try the mix shawarma spicy!
Got the paninis from here and the turkey one was delicious. The other chicken options were extremely dry and inedible. Giving 4 stars because turkey one was good.
We got the chicken shawarma very good size with a salad side. It needs more flavors for the chicken!

The Shawarma is particularly good. I get the lamb or the combo with chicken and spicy! That's why I go. When you need a slice the pizza is ok too.
I ordered from the virtual restaurant called Sams Shawerma Spot. I got the lamb and chicken platter and the picture from doordash was different,
This place is amazing, their pizzas that are sold by slices and chicken wings are delicious and taste very fresh.
