7 Best Pizza Joints in San Diego
San Diego is well known for its Mexican food and Micro Brews. Well, guess what? we’ve also got some outstanding Pizza joints. There are so many, so we’ll just start with our 7 Best Pizza Joints in San Diego. So grab a slice of life, fold and insert into your tummy, while washing down with a nice brew.
Pizza Port Breweries
Pizza Port has long been one of our favorites for many reasons. First, there’s the pizza. We love us some “Meet Extreme Meat” pizza. This thin-crusted pizza should be ordered with their signature wholegrain beer crust. Packed with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, meatballs, salami, and sausage this pizza absolutely rocks! Their microbrews are well known here in San Diego and are for sale retail in many local liquor stores and grocery marts. A couple of brews we enjoy. Chronic ale, a delicious amber ale, and Fife Dog IPA. Bottoms up!

Good beer with excellent selection including a few guest taps. We only had pizza and wings but everything was good. I love kids but there were a lot there, mostly inside, and the floor was pretty messy. If you're adulting I would suggest outside and bring a light jacket or sweater for evening if you need it.

Extensive selection of beers, very good pizza, and tasty chicken wings. What’s not to like! Lots of seating options, both inside and out. Parking seemed pretty good, as even during a busy time a spot wasn’t hard to find. Food arrived relatively quickly too. Location seemed popular with locals and visitors alike. Was happy to have found this place.

WE just picked up an order of beer buddies-no ranch or marinara sauce! Also the chicken wings were spicy-asked for no extra spice & did not receive ranch dressing -just carrots & celery. We had eaten these at a friend’s & they were good. We just called & got no satisfaction. I asked the order be replaced and delivered to us and they said they had no service? We will never return to Pizza Port again.
Pizza Port needs to interview IN-N-Out on how to hire employees.

I am an absolute pizza lover. I don’t discriminate against any pie. This is hands down the best pizza in the area!! I’ve tried this pizza 3 times in the last couple weeks and each time was better than the last. It will have you craving more. I like this place better than “best pizza and brew” in my opinion. Ordering for pick up is always easy and hassle free. The inside has cool games and decorating nicely. They also have a huge indoor and outdoor seating area! Highly recommend!

We had wings and pizza and cheesy bites. The pizza and wings were tasty. The service was The friendly and fast. They have an abundance of indoor and outdoor seating there's plenty of space. Had a couple of great beers the bacon and egg stout and the red ale. There have video games and pinball machines.

We waited for over 30 minutes for two slices of cheese pizza (just OK) and a salad. Employees were friendly and definitely hustling to get orders out. We just weren’t wowed by the taste of pizza (personal preference) and the long wait for such a simple order, therefore, unlikely we will return. Definitely seems popular though as there was a long line for both food and alcohol in the middle of the day. Seating is mainly picnic tables. Some electronic games. Good place to go for larger groups and families. Nice location, more suburban/shopping center in the Bressi Ranch area.

Plenty of space on the main floor, upstairs, and outside. Prices are a bit steep and the food (pizza) is OK, not fantastic. Seating is mainly picnic tables. Some electronic games. Good place to go for larger groups. Nice location, more suburban/shopping center-like than the downtown Carlsbad location.

Not a fan of this North County version. Seriously the signs handwritten for reading the beer menu are hardly legible due to the not subtle artistic Flair with bad contrasting colors. Not much in the way of entertainment for the little ones. The upstairs is drab like their pizzas. An upgrade of one or two of these things would help them seriously with the quantity of quality restaurants and sit-downs surrounding this place

This is the best pizza in San Diego County.
On that note, Service can be slow(they get super busy at times) and not accurate about phone orders.
Last 2 times my pizza had onions on it(using cheese from the pit(excess cheese captured while making )), and few of the toppings I did order(mushrooms looked like small torn pieces). I understand supply and delivery issues gong on (2021),but no apology, substitution, or refund offered. I don't know how many more mistakes will drive down my frequency or away for good.

Love coming here! Always a team stop for my son’s hockey team when we are playing in Carlsbad. The picnic bench seating and handful of arcade games makes a fun time for the kids. The selection of craft beers makes it a fun time for the adults and everyone loves the pizza and wings. Pizza is always delicious and I recommend the Eggs and Bacon with Coconut Porter if you like dark brews.

Crazy on a Friday night, especially after a soccer tournament. Plenty of seating inside and out. We had to wait almost 90 minutes for our complete order of a salad, mac and cheese bites, pizza pretzel, and a large BBQ chicken pizza. What made it worthwhile was the company we were with and that made the time wait a little more bearable. Food and ambiance were good.

Honestly the best time to come here is when its not busy because when it is, there are kids all over the place. The upper floor is often empty and a great place to chill. The lunch special is the best deal here, only six dollars for 2 slices of pizza and a soda cup before 3. pinballs a bit overpriced, a few more than 2 machines would be nice.

Great place for families and big groups. Everyone can pay on their own. Tons of great beer. Small arcade area for kids. Tons of outdoor area.
Didn’t take long to get food. Buzzer didn’t buzz but I heard my name called on speaker.

Never fails to impress. Great grub and grog. The indoors can be loud for kids. They have good outdoor seating and it's a great place for delicious pizzas. Great veggie options.

Easily one of my favorite pizza and pint spots in San Diego. The food here is absolutely delicious and the beer list is second-to-none. There is plentiful seating with two levels of indoor seating, a permanent outdoor patio, and a temporary (and hopefully soon-to-be permanent?) covered outdoor seating area in the parking lot. If you don't mind salty, I definitely recommend the "Carlsbad" pizza. They also have a nice gluten-free crust for those that need it!

Dirty patio, decent warm beer, horrible customer service, could not hear names being called, food sat for 10 minutes and was cold when finally went to look to see if it was ready, we informed the employee pickup/announcer that the loudspeaker outside was not working and could not understand names being called over the blaring music, they replied, " ya we know and don't care."
OK, got it. Party on.
Too bad we don't care & will never return to any location or purchase products...and we are not on vacation. Maybe think about your customers whom you serve and learn what hospitality really is. There are many better places to eat, drink, and spend your money.

Walked in today for wing Wednesday the service was great. Guess it was the girl at the register first day. She was polite and Courteous. Food Came out fast this location isn't as busy. The only thing I didn't like was one of the employees with a messed up mustache on the pizza dough station kept starring me down. I don't know why but he kept starring at me is it Cuse I'm keeping them busy?
Pizzeria Luigi
Luigi Agostini, the owner of Pizzeria Luigi, lived in Varese, Italy just north of Milano. He stayed in Italy until the age of 23. In search of adventure, Luigi traveled from San Francisco to Hawaii and Los Angeles. He eventually settled in San Diego before opening his very first pizzeria in Poway, California in 2002.
At the time, Luigi was a resident of Golden Hill, commuting daily to his suburban pizzeria. After a visit from Guy Fieri and Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins & Dives in the Fall of 2008, Pizzeria Luigi’s business skyrocketed & pizza enthusiasts traveled from near and far for a slice of his signature pizzas. Trust us and definitely try the Mona Lisa pie, Pepperoni, Sausage, Green Peppers, Mushroom, Red Onion, Black Olive *As seen on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

Great place to try lunch while in San Diego. We tried the calzone and Stromboli. Had to have a large appetite. Enjoyed it with one of the many beers they have on tap. Also a great place if you just want a quick slice to go. Be patient finding a parking spot. See you again.

This place is incredible! Parking wasn't too easy but only had to walk half a block. Walked in and told the guy at the counter we had never been there since we were on vacation. He explained everything and we got a bunch of slices to try. He then through in a slice of a different one we opted not to try, because there were too many already, for free. We tried the bbq chicken, white girl, crime scene, regular pepperoni, buffalo chicken, and Hawaiian. We also had many garlic breads too. It was the best meal of our trip by far. And the price was super reasonable. They have certainly created fans who will absolutely return, maybe even again before we leave again in a couple days.

Stopped here after a day at the World Famous San Diego zoo after a recommendation from a buddy. Legit pizza by the slice! Multiple different toppings all being cooked fresh in the back! Great beer selection and an awesome little patio to enjoy your slices!

I love it here! This is the second location I’ve been to for this small local chain and the pizza is just as excellent, flavorful, and fresh as it is at the other location. The service staff here is truly what such apart; all of the employees were kind, especially Scarlet who was extremely personable, kind, and made you feel welcome at the restaurant. I ordered the mushroom and ricotta pizza and the slice was huge! None of the singular components were too overpowering, and yet you could taste all of the small nuanced flavors, which you only get with the very best pizza. Definitely well worth the price; I only wish I would’ve waited just a second longer to eat it so I could snap a good picture for this review, but it was just too good!
Overall, I cannot recommend Pizzeria Luigi enough!

Nice New York style pizza...great while in California. Pizza doesn't look that great behind the glass but we got 2 fresh slices that just came out of the oven👍🏼... would go again when in San Diego area. Maybe we'll go closer to opening so there are more fresh out the oven pizzas. For those that are cold they do warm them up for you, but sometimes they come out looking a little burnt 😬 so you may want tell the guy in the front not so long unless you like your pizza a little black crispy🤷🏽♀️

Wow! I came in for a full pizza to take home to our family..the Mona Lisa. It was great! One of the best pizzas I have had. The service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back for more and bring our friends.
The floors and surfaces could have been a little cleaner. The place may have been busy before and maybe they were not able to keep up with cleaning.

Been my favorite spot for years. Best pizza in San Diego if you’re looking for thin crust NY style. Also, calling all vegans! Best vegan pizza…EVER!… in my humble opinion.

This pizza is delicious! I don't know if I visited the triple D location but it was busy. I ordered 2 slices the pesto and meat lovers type. The customer service was excellent they weren't pushy it's so many options, so I appreciated their patience. Very easy to find but parking can be tough.

Good variety of slices at reasonable prices. There is outdoor seating with large picnic tables. My only nit is that the cheese slice I had was too salty for my taste.

I agree with the previous review.. Flies Flies Flies!!! Walked in to order some pizza 🍕 slices and Flies Flies Flies inside the glass case!!! This has happen to me now at two different locations San Diego and Imperial 🏖 Beach.. Lost my appetite! Walked in and walked right out! Health department violations!!! Flies Flies Flies.. Come on Luigi you can do better than this!!!

Seriously good pie. Had a slice of BBQ chicken and a slice of the White Girl. Crust was thin but still had a great chew and the flavor of both slices was really good. Great service and great pies. Hard to beat that combo

I am no pizza connoisseur, let's get this out of the way. I like my restaurants to have tasty food, chill staff and nice location, in that order. This restaurant fulfills my requirements nicely, and it seems to be a local favorite, and when you see firemen and peace officers stop by to pick up a quick grub, you know their stuff is good. Sadly I could only have 2 slices 'cause they're freaking huge!
So, my recommendation is to come with an empty stomach, as all their pizza varieties (which they sell by slice too) look delicious.

A hidden gem!!! This pizza is absolutely delicious!!!!! It's served very hot and the ingredients don't taste processed. The slices are big and the crust tastes amazing! You can buy individual slices or your own personal pizza. If you want your own personal pizza, they only offer large, but it is more like an extra large.You definitely get your money's worth. The staff are very friendly, professional and the service is impeccable!!! You can dine indoor or outdoor. You must try this hidden gem. You won't be disappointed!

Everytime we visit SD we come to Luigi's. Coming from NY, this is the closest I can get to authentic thin crust NY pizza. Visited today and we got 4 slices.. like being back home!!
Great service.. Great friendly staff.. Luigi please open a place in Orange County!!!

Ordered a few slices yesterday. I could tell they would have been incredible if they were fresh, but they clearly had been sitting around for hours and probably weren't heated long enough since they were fairly chewy. I'll definitely go back but I'll be sure to ask for fresh slices.

So, I was really excited to come try this place and it looks like such a great area! When we went in and looked around, inside the glass casing where you see the pieces by the slice, you could definitely see flies in there. There were also these rolls that we ordered and there were a bunch piled up and sitting uncovered on the top of the casing. There were flies on them as well. I thought maybe those were just for people to see and that there were obviously fresh stuff in the back.
I was so happy we ordered a full pizza that they had to cook fresh because I saw them grab slices where the flies were and just put them in the oven to warm up. They also grabbed the rolls that had flies on them and put them in the oven to warm up as well. We…could not eat them. It was so unappetizing.
The pizza was pretty good but after everything, I’m not sure we could comfortably enjoy everything :/

Great experience! Had a custom pie with mushrooms, caramelized onions, feta, ricotta, and parmesan - so good! Crunchy and delicious crust. Love the outdoor seating and appreciate the friendly service. Glad they have soda water in the fountain drink dispenser. Will be coming back soon.

I love Luigi's pizza. But I really wish the owner had more pride of ownership in his restaurants. I have been to all of his locations in town. He lacks a lot of the details. Today, I am at the "ORIGINAL" Golden Hill location. The bathrooms here are a mess. Are long due for a remodel. One of the bathrooms had a roll of toilet paper on top of the paper towel dispenser. Totally unacceptable. They just opened too so I know it was an employee who did it. Found a fruit fly come out of the soda machine which tells me it needs to be cleaned and their soda machine is lacking co2. The owner is definitely not engaged in his restaurants so if he doesn't care. Why should the employees? That is the only thing that frustrates me about Luigi's. I know they are better than that. They have a great product but lack the details in execution of cleanliness and maintenance.

They only sell 18" pizzas (from what I could tell) that come with 8 giant slices. The Service was pretty good overall and our pizzas were ready within 20 minutes. My only issues were that the pizzas were a bit too greasy for me personally and it seemed to make the pizza a bit soggy. Overall still a good pizza

Best. Pizza. In. San. Diego. If you're a fan of New York style big slices, this is your place. Even if you're a Bronx Pizza fan. My lady is from NYC and this holds up to her standards as well. Nice creations but classics like a slice of cheese or spinach ricotta (no sauce) are wonderful too. Nice beer on tap selection. Great wings as well. Sriracha IPA are the best. Pizza rolls and calzones are awesome. I clearly love this place. Long enough review. Go buy some Luigi's

Delicious classic NY style thin-crust pie. Perfect crust:cheese:sauce ratio. Whole pie prices are great ($17 cheese, $19 margherita). One pie ends up being good for 4-5 meals (for an average person). Called ahead at 11:38 AM and the pie was ready when I got there at 11:55 (18 min). There are a few diagonal (back-up-only) street parking spots in front. Ended up becoming a neighborhood favorite for us.
Filippi’s Pizza Grotto
Vincent DePhilippis and Madeleine Manfredi from Nimes France met in New York NY, married in 1925, then settled in Westchester Pennsylvania. They moved to San Diego in 1947 where they opened an Italian market named Cash & Carry Italian foods on India Street in San Diego. 1950 was the beginning of what has become a very successful line of family restaurants that are today known as Filippi’s Pizza Grottos which are owned and operated by original family members of the founders.
Ron Cuevas

Are you serious?? This is the original Italian restaurant in San Diego. Best pizza in town. Yes they have all the standard Italian plates and a cash and carry market too. Fresh deli cuts and bread is the best. They finally opened up their off street parking again so that's also a plus since parking in Little Italy is not the best. We like to grab some fresh sliced salami, cheese, bread, olives and bottle of wine and head for the park. Best in town.

We ordered pizza and tried the hand made sausage and meatballs on the side just to see how they were and everything was really great! My friend had the lasagna on his last visit and says it's exquisite! I'd highly recommend it, but then again, you already knew that! Between the reputation and the frequent line around the building Filippi's speaks for itself but if you're the one who hasn't heard yet, you gotta come here!
Ashley Gomez

One word- delicious! Though they usually have a long line out the door, it's worth the wait. The portions are family sized, so you're basically getting 2 meals for the price of 1! The staff is always friendly and the place itself is charming. Love bringing my friends and family here when they come to visit!

Absolutely amazing! 👌🏼🔥 Everything smells and tastes fresh. My wife and I ordered the pepperoni pizza. Amazed by how great this tasted. Our waitress was super nice and accommodating. She was attentive and made us feel like family. We also ordered the chocolate cake just to taste it. It too was also fresh and delicate.

Classic place. Started out over 70 years ago in this spot as a neighborhood Italian grocery. You still have to walk through the narrow aisle between shelves of olive oil and a meat counter filled with cured meats waiting to be sliced, in order to get to the restaurant.
Very large portions. Part of a pizza for 2 will go home in a take-out box. They make their own sausages and, I believe, their own mozzarella (don't quote me on this). Food is good.
Filippi's has grown to a chain of restaurants, but this is the original.

I’m very confused by the positive reviews of this place. We thought it would be cute and unique given the marketplace entrance. The ambiance is like a restaurant in a theme park, and equally as overpriced. The portions were disgustingly large, and the food was flavorless. In fact we both agreed that the spaghetti tasted like what we were served in the cafeteria of our elementary school. Food was coming out of the kitchen too fast, as if the noodles were already cooked and sitting there ready to have sauce slopped over them. The table next to us was sent their pizza back, complaining about how tasteless it was and that there was way too much cheese. It did not look appetizing. I will say, our garlic bread and cesar salad were the best thing we ate but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make those two staples decent. If you are a foodie, have ever been to Italy, and/or are looking for quality over quantity, skip this place and try one of the many other restaurants in the little Italy neighborhood. If an actual Italian person visited this place…. I cannot imagine the wrath and disgrace.

Got here at 8.30 on a Monday night and it was packed. We had no reservation but they looked around and managed to squeeze us in for a table of 3. Felt very homey and comfortable in there. Food was simple but very flavorful and very good - big portions! Service was really fast and considerate too.

Excellent food, service and wine. We had Sabrina as our server and she was awesome. We sat in the outside patio and it was fun to people watch everyone going by on the sidewalk. We came here Sunday around 3pm and it was starting to fill up but never got over crowded. We had the meat filled ravioli with meatballs and sausage. Also the cheese ravioli with meat sauce. One of us who doesn’t even absolutely love meat still loved the meat ravioli very delicious. They also served bread rolls on the house and when we asked for more we were able to get them. We had the house Rośe, recommended and very good. All in all an excellent meal and dining experience. Outside was nice as a family next to us had two small children and they were able to let their kids walk around a little bit while waiting for their food which also was a nice thing for families with antsy kids. We will be back.

Wow. WOW! Couldn’t have picked a better spot for our one evening in San Diego. We new the portions would be big but they were huge. Spaghetti was delicious. Pizza was even better. Best Italian food we’ve ever had. Absolute perfection. The hostess was very kind and accommodating when I bugged her and asked if we could switch tables. The waitress was amazing. Very kind and gave us some suggestions. Amazing place. Will definitely be back again!!

This place is UH-MAAAZINNNG! When we went, they were short staffed, but the server was awesome! The pizza was so delicious. We ordered the works...not sure what it's actually called, but I usually stick to cheese, and chicken. I'm not a big red sauce fan, but, wow! I loved all of it! From the crust to the sauce and all the toppings!
I've been back multiple times since to eat pizza and to buy from their store to make my own dinners at home.
Go to Filippi's!

Do not be fooled by this being a chain restaurant. It's a chain of family owned restaurants not a franchise and that shows in the food.
The sauce is just grandma used to make. It's chunky and delicious. Portions are huge. That meatball is the size of a baseball. The proportion of cheese to pasta to sauce in that lasagna was perfect.
Come hungry and plan on bringing home a box or three of leftovers.

So disappointed. Expected top notch and got sub par. Pizza was so gross. I took one bite and had to spit it out. I even told the waitress and she basically ignored me. Lasagna was very bland...no flavor. Spaghetti sauce was so runny and watery. Garlic bread was good. Salad had brown leaves but dressing was good....for the price we paid could have gone to fast food for better quality food that tasted good. Don't waste your time.

Carry out was friendly and efficient. It had to be the best pizza I've ever had in my life! The pasta was also blissful. You know they care about the quality and freshness of the food. I would eat there every day if I could. Will surely be coming back every time I'm in the city.

We came back here to try the pizza this time, we got the special and they were able customize one side and not include some of the toppings my wife doesn’t like. The pizza was great and the size was perfect for two.
On the other hand, they have outdoor sitting and a sign that says see the hostess for a table. But we couldn’t find the hostess outside of the restaurant and other clients were as confused as us. The waiters were passing by in front of us, but completely ignored everyone waiting in front of the restaurant instead of directing us to the hostess. After asking inside we walked a bit further to what seemed to us a different restaurant and found her.
——-
This was one of our favorite restaurants in the area good price and value.
The portions were quite large and we liked the lasagna, I believe they make them in house.
There is a small market you pass through to go into the restaurant that sells imported goodies.

Excellent pizza taste! This was the first time I visited this place, and I am very grateful that I came here. They accommodate me professionally. I am deeply impressed by how they handled the service correctly with no hassles at all. Try their services and you won’t regret it for sure. Cheers to more customers in the future. Kudos!

First time in Little Italy we didn’t know where to go eat so I googled it, and this restaurant came up. Best choice I made, the service was great (Liz) our server was very helpful in helping us choose what to eat. We had a lot of questions on food, we got pizza, pasta & salad. My whole family loved it. We will make this a tradition and drive to San Diego at least once a month and make it a tradition.
Lefty’s Chicago Pizzeria
The idea for Lefty’s came from the over-abundance of mom-and-pop shops where the owners grew up in Chicago. The ease of ordering a deep dish pie or grabbing a dog, a bag of fries, a beef sandwich, and ALL of the happy feelings that came along with comfort foods. Fortunately, they soon tired of missing those mouth-watering and comforting flavors of Chicago. They began spending hours in their little California kitchens, creating recipes that they force-fed their friends, trying to re-create those pies haunting their taste buds.
They serve local microbrews from Ballast Point, Lagunitas, Bear Republic, Stone Brewing Co, Great Divide Brewing Co., Ten Barrel Brewing, AleSmith Brewing Co., and Thunderhawk Alements.

Absolutely perfect Italian beef! With sweet and hot peppers and mozzarella cheese it's so good. Seriously I am so picky this is the best. Great staff and nice indoor and outdoor seating and great selection of craft beers. Pizza is great too. I don't usually bother with reviews but I love this place

We loved everything in the menu! Pizza is delicious, wings are amazing, salad on point, service was excellent and the place was really nice and clean...we are definitely coming back!! A very nice spot for the family to enjoy a nice dinner and a good beer.

I've been coming here for a little under a year because I like to give the benefit of the doubt. The food itself is pretty good but you have about a 70% chance of them getting your order right unless it's a by the slice pizza. The 30% chance remaining is if you dine-in. The owner is really responsive and corrects the order with a positive attitude which is great.

The absolute best thin crust pizza in SD. While their stuff and deep dishes are their specialties, for me their thin crust pies are full of flavor with a huge variety of ingredients. Great customer service, owner is so sweet and humble, always busy but always worth the wait. At times they'll have live jazz bands in the back. Overall this place has won me over. Salud

While we love their pizza, we always end up getting a Chicago dog! My SO is from Chicago and he gives it a “thumbs up”. The sesame bun is steamed yet holds up to all the goodies inside. Mustard, tomato, peppers, dill pickle, celery seed and a beef dog with a perfect “snap”. Served with golden brown fries that ALMOST steal the show. Highly recommended.

I like Lefty's for its 🍕 Pizza,
Hot Dogs, and Beefs. They also have Chicago, Illinois USA memorabilia throughout the restaurant, most of it donated by customers‼️Prices are competitive with most of the other restaurants in San Diego, California USA. Customers can also eat outside of Lefty's. This is a good restaurant for All ages and is Family friendly😊😁
One thing that you may not like is finding a parking
place, but you can always order and pick your food up.

Chicago deep dish pizza was so good! Just what we were hoping for. Service was good, but confusing. We weren't sure what to do, seat ourselves, or wait to be seated. We ended up checking in for our called-in order and then seated ourselves. Staff was helpful and brought everything out and kept checking on us. Fried mushrooms were heavy on the batter with a big crunch if that's what you like. House salad was super cold and fresh. The deep dish pizza is very filling. Unless you have a huge appetite, one slice might be enough. Mangia!

Delivered to me at the airport when I was basically stranded and had few other options for my 7 hour wait. Thanks so much for helping us out. The deep dish was de freaking licious and garlic bread was also. Would recommend 10 out of 10 if I could.

Our go-to for excellent pizza and wings, with the occasional glass of wine or beer, just got better somehow. The back patio is cozy and this guy just randomly stopped by to offer service like plates and condiments, best service we've had in a long time anywhere. Glad we made this our Friday night date stop tonight.

Excellent customer service. Food was so delicious. Authentic Chicago pizza to the core. Below is the the great sausage pie. We added bell peppers, onion, peperoni, and elephant garlic. The owner really knows how to ensure customers want to return and all the waiters were attentive. The best part was the vibe. Don't miss this gem if you are in San Diego.

This restaurant is excellent for pizza and pasta lovers. They provide good service and the flavor of their pizza and spaghetti is superb. I had some extra mozzarella, which I'm thankful for since these people didn't disappoint in terms of having it at a decent price. I truly appreciate the dinner, and I'd want to thank these people for making it so delicious! Outstanding work!

The pizza and spaghetti I requested were brought promptly, and it was a simple process due to these people. This restaurant is well-known for its delectable pasta and pizza, and I'm pleased I got the opportunity to sample it. It was all really wonderful, and I'd want to thank these gentlemen for it. That's fantastic!

Authentic Chicago spot. Great people. Great deep dish, Chicago dogs, Italian beef…
The only downside is I have to haul my cookies down there. When are you going to open a spot up in North County?

So tasty. First time here and it definitely impressed us. The cbgb sandwich was so good. The flavors are distinct and just create a pleasurable experience in your mouth. We also got a Half Pepperoni and half meatball/sausage deep dish pizza. We will go back and try a few more things soon. Check email out.

Went for my Dad’s birthday and the owner was so sweet she gave my 3 and 9 year old boys a tour of the kitchen. Needless to say they loved her and the restaurant. The food was great we got a thin and a thick crust pizza. If you like Chicago style pizza this is the place to go. The staff was attentive and so kind. Thank you Lefty’s for exceeding our expectations!!!
Hoboken Pizza & Beer Joint
Pizza, even just by itself, is always a good pick-me-up. No question. But, pizza and beer? Well, now you’re talking. At Hoboken Pizza & Beer Joint, They’ve taken the authentic flavor of East Coast pies and paired them with renowned San Diego brews for a true feeling of pizza paradise and Beervana. Stop in for a whole pie and a pilsner or just for a slice and a Sculpin. Not only do they serve excellent pies, they also serve pasta, subs, and salads. They also have a superb selection of beer on tap, and if you haven’t experienced a Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap you don’t know what you’re missing.

A great find in Pacific Beach. Pizza was very tasty and the thin pizza crust was perfect. We really enjoyed their Pesto pizza. It's order before sitting down and drinks are in small refrigerators you choose. Food was served on flimsy paper plates. If you don't mind the very laid back atmosphere the pizza is worth it.

My kind of joint! The Pizza reminds me from home which I am from Hoboken NJ. Pizza is definitely better than anywhere in Cali. Friendly staff and awesome vibes!
Luigis in Imperial Beach is great too 👍
Great deal: two slices and good cold beer for 12.50 and the pies are reasonable price.

Pizza is delicious. Usually late night food is worse than restaurants open during the day only, but this place is amazing. Crust is relatively thin and crispy, cheese is fresh and not too much but enough to cover the entire pizza. Also pretty guilt free as far as pizza goes

I don't usually write reviews, but when you get excellent service it's just the right thing to do. My friends and I went in last week with our wild toddlers and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. The menu doesn't mention gluten free pizza, but they have it and it's one of the best I've had and it's bigger than what other pizza places offer. Will definitely be going back!

Rudest people and experience! Go across the street to sandbox for better pizza and service! Can not get over how rude these people were, asked for ranch and they said “can you even afford it, get out of my store” .
Wes Villalobos
04:27 15 Jan 22
Placed an order, 2 hours later they hadn't even started it yet and refused to give an estimate on time. Very rude, poor customer service. Has a lot of good reviews so hopefully this was a fluke, but there's too many other places to eat at to deal with unprofessional service like that
Josh
20:43 09 Jan 22
I like the pizza and if I based my review in that they would be a 5 stars. The last two times I have had horrible customer service experience. I thought the first time was a fluke but after the second time I am not so sure. I have updated the rating to reflect this. With so many other pizza places around I will be going elsewhere.

While visiting PB, and having the opportunity to try the gluten free pizza at Hoboken. We order sausage, spinach, and mushrooms. This gluten free pizza is the best that I have tried. Even my non gluten free family enjoyed the texture and flavor and they were comparing it to regular thin crust pizza. We all loved it. Amazing flavor, everything married together in perfect harmony.

The best thin crust in the area. The real deal. Crust is always perfect. Obsessed with the Mr. Pesto Pizza. A proper salad. Cool peeps. Draft Beer. Order a whole pizza or grab pizza by the slice. These guys are ALWAYS working hard. Highly recommended. I only go here or Zia in Normal Heights.

Beautiful day in the city. Parking was awful! Very relaxing atmosphere and a nice menu. Food was good, not great, but it was just nice sitting outside looking at the water, so I would definitely come back. My Arnold Palmer was quite refreshing, the caesar salad with salmon was drenched in creamy dressing. I usually ask for it on the side, so that's on me. The rosemary fries were delicious! Very clean bathrooms and hand sanitizer everywhere.

My buddies and I had a great time eating here. Their food is innovative and delicious. A salad and a piece of mozzarella were on the menu. It's been delicious! The cost is reasonable. They also serve fresh salads, spaghetti, and a variety of sandwiches. I'll eat their baguette the next time I come here.

Place is open until 2, which is nice for someone looking for a late night pizza run like Mt group was. The music is loud, which I didn't mind, but there were a few songs that had curse words, so if you are bring children later in the evening be prepared. The staff was nice. The vibe was mellow and friendly. I definitely recommend.

Being from out of town we picked this place randomly and didn't know what to expect. What a great choice! The staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond. Between the 7 of us we had baked pastas, hot subs, meatballs and calzones. Everything was steaming hot and delicious! Beware the portions are huge. The fresh baked cinnamon donuts were an added bonus that everyone loved. We will definitely be back!!!
Killer Pizza From Mars
Weirder than you’re thinking. Perfect place for all occasions. NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB packages on 8 hi-def screens. Space toys, aliens, black lights, lasers, and video games for the kids. Nice beer selection and award-winning pizza.
Opened in 1977 by brothers Steve and Dave Mizell. With over 75 years of restaurant experience between them, they learned their pizza skills from a prominent Chicago pizza family. Currently, they have two locations Escondido, and Oceanside. “We do what it takes to give every single customer the best pizza possible”.

I only had garlic cheese bread with marinara which satisfied that craving, but 5 stars is for the fact that it was tasty, atmosphere is out of this world and customer service was superb. Great place for kids to have a blast with lots of games and sports on tv for us grownup kids.

Got a medium 3 topping pizza last night. I’ve heard of this place for years but never went. Overall. I’m really impressed. A lot of pizza places hurt my stomach. No issues here.
Great toppings. Great flavor. I also love all the star wars and sci fi toys around the restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Placed an order online and paid online at 5 pm. Arranged for a 6:15 pick-up. I place orders online so I don't have to wait in line. I go to pick up my order at 6:15 and I'm told I have to get in line which is about a mile long. About 15 minutes later I get my food. I will never go back there again.

Just had the Killer Pizza From Mars delivered. Very good pizza. The first thing i noticed is how heavy the pizza was, they are generous with the cheese and toppings. I would have appreciated some napkins though. (In a Motel)
Monique Jones

Should be called killer wings from mars. Best wings ive had in years. Pizza though was way under cooked, sauce was very metallic for pizza sauce and overall just not good pizza in my opinion. Go there for the arcade and wings and leave happy. Cool atmosphere.
Quintessential Quinn
17:35 24 Nov 21
Local favorite. Best wings I think. I like the Cluck Roger's chicken pizza. Great atmosphere. But line can be a long wait. One thing that I dislike is the menu is almost unreadable do to dark lettering. I think as a marketing standpoint it needs to be brighter so everything can be read. I would order more items if I could read it. It would be 5 stars if menu board was refurbished. But the best pizza. Video games and a pinball machine. Plenty of seating. Bring the whole family.

Hi there,
I went to pick up my pizza and was told 4 minutes until it was ready. Easy no big deal. So I went to sit at the bar at the closest stool to the cashier and waited patiently. 30 minutes go by and during those 30 minutes the employee working the front walks by me several times without saying anything. If she forgot about me, she didn't even offer me a beer as if I was a new customer. So finally after seeing another customer walk in and get their pizza quickly I ask about mine. At that point I get a quick "Sorry" and now have my pizza.
You need to either find a new front desk employee or work it yourself to ensure that your customers aren't being forgotten for 30 minutes. I'm a pretty chill dude but this was beyond frustrating.

I always get their specialty Mars pizza. It’s a little pricey but it’s totally worth it. Their pizza is enormous so you can have a couple days of leftovers. Try the personal pizza for only $11 and it will satisfy you. Also, they have an awesome selection of craft beers on tap. The weekly chicken wing special is a great deal!

Nice experience. The food was good, including lots of meat on the meat pizza. The garlic bread was simple but tasty. It was well staffed, efficient and friendly. As usual, I forgot to take pictures until we started eating. Medium pizza, garlic bread, two drinks and tip were a little over $42.

Killer Pizza From Mars is always good any kind of pizza you want they can make it for you. If you order ahead it usually takes 20 minutes. You can eat inside beer and soft drinks this terrific you should really try it. The sandwiches look amazing I just go there for the pizza
Bronx Pizza
Many locals and visitors have proclaimed Bronx Pizza as the Best Pizza place in San Diego! Bronx Pizza opened in 1997 and continues to amaze with single slices of pie or the whole pie, and the calzones, oh my. When you arrive at Bronx Pizza it’s easy to imagine you’ve been transported back to the Bronx. The theme is truly New York Bronx and half of the staff sounds like they’re from the Bronx. The pizza is made Neapolitan style, thin-crusted and baked well done, crispy enough to fold in half and enjoy as it should be. They offer up to 18 different kinds of sliced pies for your dining pleasure. You can also have them bake a whole pie for you to dine in, or they’ll box you one to take home.

One of the best in Cali! Drove down from LA to visit my son who's going to UCSD. This is a must stop for us... Bought 3 pie's with extra toppings, the crust is light and crispy. Reminds me of pizza from the East coast. Can't wait to go back and get a pesto pie. Keep up the great work guys!
Caleb Louis

Far and away the best pizza I have ever had outside of the Big Apple. It's honestly as good, if not better, than Joe's Pizza in NYC and LA, my favorite until a friend recommended Bronx for the best pizza in San Diego. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is fun and all of the signed photos by old-time celebrities are a hoot; if that's not New York enough for you, what is?! Apparently Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos) is a fan as well, which is cool. The pizza is classic, thin-crust magic; it's actually better than most pizza places in NYC. BOOM!
Scott Weber
19:58 13 Apr 22
Best new york pizza in San Diego no debate. If your thinking its a better idea to order delivery elsewhere you really need to evaluate your life decisions. Get in your car and take a drive. You will not be disappointed... unless your some freak that likes pineapple on your pizza. And if thats the case there is a psychiatrist office about a block down the street...

This place is 100% consistent. I've been coming to Bronx Pizza for 13+ years and they never miss!! Phone in take out orders are a breeze, phone in and pick up at the window right next to the entry door. Soo convenient. Fast pace ordering but everyone who works the counter is always super friendly and answers any questions you have. Pizza by the slice or whole pie orders. They have a cute dining area which are 2 different rooms you can sit in. The main area is open on the top ends so you always have that open air patio feel. They no longer have the fountain drink machine all drinks are canned or bottled which we don't mind at all. The White Stone and Meat pie are our faves!!

What a good pizza!!! Excellent crust and just the night amount of cheese and toppings. And a HUGE parking lot. This place has it all going on. I've never sat inside. Only had take out and delivery. Top notch ingredients. I rate it up there with my other neighborhood favorite pizzas. A cross between gourmet and family style pizza. You won't go wrong.

I've been on Guam for the past year l, so coming to San Diego and being pleasantly surprised by the pies here was a fantastic way to begin my little stay here. Perfectly cooked the pie was crispy and the cheese was melty. If your going to order here, and are planning to eat at 5 definitely order at 3. It is worth the wait 100%

Best NY Pizza outside of NY! We discovered this spot and drove from North County to give it a try. The folks that helped us were super friendly, but the real prize here was the pie! I got 2 slices of meatball and sausage and my kid got a slice of cheese. The crust was thin and perfectly crisp and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. If your in the area or even if your not...get here and try a slice!

This was my family first time here. The pizza was great, hot tasty. The crust was light and not burnt hard that you couldn't eat. The tops where good too. They were quick,friendly. This very busy location. Come prepared to drive around or bring another person who can jump out and pick up your order.
The only thing I wish they would let you order slice of pizza over the phone when you are placing an order for 2 large pizza. Becuz. Order a slice at the window can be hard. Especially if you are on a food run for your family and kiddos
Very good. Definitely recommend, topping, tastes

Best pizza ever. I've been coming here for over 15 years on my birthday and it's always great to eat here. I'm from new York, and this is the only new York pizza around . The flavor thin crust and seasoning. Makes you keep coming back.

This place can be busy, so call ahead if you don’t want to stand outside waiting for your pizza! Unless you want some individual slices, which are mostly available anytime.
The crust is thin and crisp, the sauce is perfect and the price can’t be beat for the quality and size of their pizzas.
Bring cash, they don’t accept cards.

The closest thing to New York style pizza in San Diego! Cash only. Line out the door. The owner came from New York and didn't like California pizza. Legend has it that Bronx PIzza imports its water from New York to achieve its genuine taste.
My East Coast friends says it's the closest they've found in San Diego to New York Pizza. When Comic-Con comes to San Diego, East Coast people go there to get their pizza. There's an autographed photo of Stan Lee applauding the pizza.

Hands down the BEST thin crust, New York style pizza in San Diego. You can smell the pies down the block and I have never made it home without eating a slice in the car.
They only accept cash, so if you don't have any mad money, visit the ATM at the liquor store next-door. Parking is either on the street or in a nearby parking lot.
Service is fast and the crew is kind but has a direct East Coast attitude that I believe only makes the pizza better. My personal favorite is the Whitestone with added pepperoni; I guarantee it tastes just as good leftover as it does fresh.

My friend and I had a slice 🍕 and a soda, came out to $8.50 I think, (not bad for a light lunch). He had Pepperoni and I had Tomato Basil. Both slices were fresh, perfectly thin golden crust and sauced appropriately. Definitely in my top 5 slices San Diego.

We tried one of everything. It was some of the best, if not the best pizza we have had. The pesto was delicious but not too overpowering. The Whitestone had a bunch of different cheeses including feta. Their pepperoni and sausage is great quality and blends well with the flavors. Every slice did not disappoint. There was option to order a whole pie or pay by slice. Everything was fairly priced and my wife and I loved every bit of it.

After visiting a few times I can say this is decent to average pizza. I will say the crust is toasted very well. But the sauce and the cheese are not the most flavorful. Customer service is impeccable . The employees are excellent. They work hard. The price point is fine. 3$ a slice . Anything above that I wouldn’t return. CASH ONLY . So be prepared. Will return. It’s possible I may like them more after ordering a full pie.

This has always been a favorite place of mine. The pizza I enjoy the most from there is the Whitestone with Pepperoni. The prices and portions are great! They only take cash. The flavors of all their pizza are consistent with freshness and quality. Highly recommend this place especially if you love Pizza.

The Best Pizza Ever! I'm sure I'll return to this eatery! The waiters/waitresses were really friendly, polite, and respectful to the customers. Furthermore, their location was wonderful and pleasant to visit because it was clean, trendy, and comfy. Overall, I had a great time visiting and dining at your restaurant. Thank you! Highly Recommended!

The best restaurant with pasta in my area! I got a favorite spaghetti of mine! For me, it was a nice experience for the first time. I never thought that this place for pasta would be so awesome for me. When I needed their assistance, their crew was very welcoming, understandable, and polite. For anything, thank you. Such an incredible service!

Healthy food, efficient service and efficiency. I selected this place because it is near our address. I liked the helpful workers and the menu as well. Pizza, pasta, cured beef, and cheese platters are menu options. We all enjoyed the food served because it was all delicious and nutritious. Many thanks to you! I recommend this to all of you!

F.Y.I. they are not open for eating-in 🙁
I tried to call and no one answered so we drove over and it was going to be a 45 minute wait on the sidewalk 🙁
So we went to Pizza Nova.

Cheap, greasy, simple decor and cash only. Like New York Pizza out to be. Best pizza I've had in California, I say as a new york pizza fan. They have that nice crust with the crisp bottom and soft inside
