Met up with a buddy of mine here tonight around 630, and was surprised that we were able to get seated as easily as we did, considering the place was packed. After a bit of deliberation, we ended up ordering the Hearst (for the truffle oil) and the Garcia (for that soft egg, mm). Unfortunately, both of us were a little disappointed with our orders. While prepared and baked well, both our pizzas were a bit lacking in flavor and depth: the Hearst, despite having ingredients that have great flavor on their own, fell short, being overwhelmed by the saltiness of the prosciutto; the Garcia, on the other hand, was much tastier, but was almost completely lacking in truffle flavor. We ended up supplementing our slices heavily with chili flakes to boost the flavor. To be fair, their pizza is not terrible, and is better than that of Zero Zero - all things considered, in another city, Id probably give Archive a solid three stars. But, given the selection of high quality pizza in the city (Little Star, for example), I cant really see myself coming back here. ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - A smallish venue consisting mostly of high-top counter seating, or high-top tables. There are a handful of small two to three seater tables outside, as well as a lower counter for two inside, but thats about it. Bathroom - Didnt check them out.

Cool bar right in the middle of the city. The DiMaggio pizza is a favorite and its a decent size for two to three people. For lunch, the Pastrami and Peppers is a winner. The sandwich is huge and the pastrami is delicious with the kick from the peppers. They also have good beer and interesting cocktails. I tried the Watermelon Fog. It looked pretty with a white foam on top, but that foam was very salty/bitter? It wasnt my favorite, but the actual drink was good once you got past the foam. The place gets really crowded after 5. If you want a table and not have to wait youre better off getting there at exactly 5 or coming in after the dinner rush.

Yum! Surprisingly good food for a random place I walked into. Wednesday evening, around 8:30pm, two of us came here for a late dinner. We were seated immediately and given fantastic service. We ordered two different seasonal drinks, both of which hit the spot. We shared the butternut squash pizza - the squash was perfectly cooked, not too soggy, not raw. The goat cheese was creamy, the pine nuts crunchy, and the crust was soft but still crisp enough on the bottom to hold up. Id love to come another time and order some non pizza items!

I ended up getting the Hearst Pizza ($18) with an egg (+$2) that I split with my coworker. At first I thought it was pretty small especially since I was sharing it but half was definitely enough. They dont skimp on the ingredients so the pizza was topped with loads of mushrooms and chunks of thick bacon pieces (YUM). The crust was thin and crispy, but still held up with all the toppings and egg.

After walking around the SFMoMA for 2 hours, my friend and I were STARVING and looking for somewhere to grab a quick lunch. It was around 3pm, so a couple of the restaurants that we checked out first were already closed to set up for dinner. I browsed Yelp for a few mins and came across Archive. As soon as we saw "Wine Bar" in their description, we said "Yep!" and headed over.

Awesome! Came here on a friday night, the place was busy but not so busy that we couldnt find a table at around 9pm. Ordered a Dimaggio Pie and a mac n cheese- to everyone who comes here, ABSOLUTELY try the Orzo mac n cheese. It was amazingggg. the servers are great and the bus boys even nicer, definitely coming back, perhaps next time for happy hour~ heard great things.

I liked the atmosphere and food at Archive. The pizza was delicious and the drinks served are quite good. The place has an intimate feel since its not that large and it can fill up with a large crowd quickly. The owners and bartenders are nice and keep the place lively. Theres a couple of outdoor tables, but the real party is inside.

Great place to hang at after work as it is a busy and fun location. Their house drinks are delicious and they have wine as well. The ambiance and exposed brick wall adds an industrial/old SF historic feel to it. Their food is also excellent and their pizzas, too. You cant go wrong stopping by here because its definitely vibrant!

Great place to grab a drink and bite to eat! I came here on a Friday night where they had live music which was awesome. Their menu is all so decently priced and to top that, its good! Got the fish tacos for only $10! Great deal and tasted great. Highly recommend the spicy calamari as well. Delicious!

Amazingly crafted cocktails with fresh syrups and herbs... I tried the meatballs and pork belly slider and both were fantastic, but the slider was the star of my meal. A cozy setting and friendly staff round out this very enjoyable dining experience. Def worth a try amongst the myriad of places in SF.

Great place to eat and drink caters to the downtown working crowd as it is closed on weekends The exposed brick adds to a old world san francisco feel. The drink choices are solid I had the mission chicken sandwich which was amazing be sure to check out the tap room next door same decor same owners

Hiding in plain sight, this place is a gem. Great selection of craft beer, delicious bar food with a kitchen that is open super late. Staff is super friendly and on point. Solid happy hour and specials on every night but Thursdays and Sundays.

One of the tastiest meals I have had in a bar stool. I had a salad with the meatballs on the side and savored every bite. The cheese on the salad had such an intense flavour that I was sure to not waste too much in a given bite. Very good.

Stopped in for drinks and a bite to eat. We were visited by "beetles" as we ate. One or two half inch long brown insects with long antennae scuttled past our food. We pointed this out to the staff, they were completely dismissive.

Stopped here on a whim after a long day of sightseeing. Seated immediately and serve every quickly. Excellent, though small, wine list and thoroughly enjoyed the pizza Moscone (add mushrooms - it definitely sets it off).

The caramel malt was PHENOMENAL. The pizza was pretty good too. Not a great value, a little loud to talk with friends during happy hour... Great service, good overall, but wish the value were a little bit better.

Good food, although a bit pricey. stuffs behavior was unacceptable. asked for some water, twice, never got it. It felt that they wanted us to pay and leave. Totally disappointed and annoyed in the end.

Came here for lunch one day around noon. Gets pretty busy a round lunch time. Staff was friendly. Ordered a beer and a sandwich. The chicken and meatball are both good. Worth checking out. $$

Good pizza (especially the white truffle) and a small but mighty selection of beer. They dont have a lot else to offer outside of sandwiches and salads, but it makes for a good lunch spot.

Busy with the after work crowd, in a great location and has a good selection of food and drink. Had the pizza, loved it. Great staff, would recommend sitting at the bar if its available.
