Feels Like Home at Haystack
Over the years, I had a lot of great memories at Haystack. They have an amazing family atmosphere and always make me and my family feel at home. I remember celebrating my daughter’s 9th birthday party there a few years ago. We had the whole back room to ourselves and a lot of family and friends. The gourmet pizza was delicious and we had a variety of Italian dishes like chicken cacciatore and veal scallopini. Apps and salads were also delicious! I enjoyed the service and overall atmosphere! Thanks again Haystack and crew!!!

A Noe Valley Classic Since 1972
You can’t get a better pizza anywhere than the HAYSTACK! The quality is amazing with recipes dating back to 1972. I remember when the HAYSTACK was one of the few pizza restaurants available in Noe Valley. It was a popular family restaurant. I started going to the HAYSTACK when I was 12 years old and throughout the years I had many wonderful meals with my children and now grandchildren. I highly recommend!!
