About Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria

Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria offers a fun and lively atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, games, TVs, and a collection of Chicago memorabilia. Their deep dish pizza, including the Stuffed Monster of the Midway, is a standout, and they also serve delicious pasta and meatballs. The restaurant is known for its friendly staff and unique ordering process, making it a must-visit spot for pizza and Italian food lovers. Customers praise the excellent Chicago-style dishes, such as the Italian beef sandwich and traditional Chicago dog, as well as the real Chicago-style beef, sausage, giardiniera peppers, and au jus served with soft and crusty buns. The pizza is comparable to Lou’s and Uno, with good flavor and a less deep style than the classics. Sides are good, and the staff is highly praised. Visitors from Chicago often feel a strong connection to the place, appreciating the Chicago-themed decor and the taste of authentic Chicago food, including the hot dogs and pizza. The restaurant is especially recommended to those seeking authentic Chicago flavor outside of Chicago, with a special mention for asking for a Pizza Puff.

We go here at least once per week and don’t get tired of it because the food is good and they have a large menu. It’s great especially on nights they have live music.
THIS IS THE SPOT! Chicago in San Diego, go no further than Lefty's! I ordered a Chicago hot dog and Italian beef sandwich, which were both 10/10 excellent. Will be trying to pizza next and updating review, but let me tell you, this place was so damn good that I found the owner and asked for a job!!! That's another thing. It's locally owned by a Chicago woman who now lives in San Diego. She was working the register of all things. Fantastic experience! Thanks again Lauren! 🔥🍕🌭🍔
Leftys menu is great top to bottom so even if you're not a Chicago style pizza fan you'll find something you like. CBGB is one of my favorite sandwiches in San Diego. also... the staff is fantastic it's a well run operation.
