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.
Great pizza nice servers!
Lefty's is a wonderful neighborhood gem. Great food and very friendly staff. Inside feels like a cozy old school pizza parlor. They have a fantastic Italian beef sandwich comparable to Portillos. Love their fresh salads and the Al Capone pasta as well.

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. Guests find it a wonderful neighborhood gem with a cozy old school pizza parlor feel, fresh salads, and the Al Capone pasta. The Italian beef sandwich is comparable to Portillos. The pizza is one of the best in the downtown San Diego area, with rich cheese, generous toppings, and really tasty tomato sauce.
