50 Best Pizza Restaurants in San Diego

“Outstanding staff! Great food! A must go!“

“Excelente Servicio, Excelente Comida, La mejor Chef De Nolita Hall, Michel Peregrino, Muy Recomendable Todo.“

“Great place, great food, service is excellent, everybody is having a good time and it shows, this place is a must in SD, whether you go as a couple or with friends, definitely recommended!!!“

“I've only lived in California but this place feels like what I would imagine would be a pizza store in the "Bronx". Super large, with a crispy crust but not burnt. All the choices seemed super well done before hand and they have a line of cooks making new pizzas all the time! This place is bussin ?!! At the time I got 4 dollars a slice pizza, and got 2 slices and it was way more than enough! Amazing find.“

“Came to TNT on the recommendation of a local and holy f*** balls I was blown away. If I had the disposable income I’d buy a private jet and fly to San Diego to eat here once a week and fly home, my carbon foot print would look like a slice of their pizza and I would okay with it cause my belly and soul would be content. Every pizza I have after this will be a disappointment to me.“

“Ok, I am from NY and love pizza. I am not a NYC pizza snob though and welcome all iterations of 'za! I have to say that this pizza is probably the best I have ever had of its type. They are "Roman" slices, meaning focaccia crust. Variety of slice options are insane with creative combinations that are not only imaginative, but insanely delicious. Slices are cooked upon ordering for supreme freshness. I especially like the Lussuria - prosciutto, black pepper, mashed potato, mozzarella and olive oil. (I NEVER thought I would like mashed potato on a slice, but it's insanely good.) The help here is amazing as well. Caesar was working the oven and he gave great suggestions and explained the product well. Very inviting and definitely steered me in the right direction. Need gluten free? They got it! Will make a GF slice for you right on the spot. I challenge anyone to have just one slice. I had to go back for 2 more. Enjoy!“

“If you are looking for a true Italian experience in San Diego, look no further than Vinarius! We worked with Giuseppe (owner) to host our wedding celebration here back in March, 2023. From the beginning, he was amazing to work with. Incredibly positive and accommodating from the start, we couldn’t have asked for more. The wedding ceremony was planned to be outside and of course, it rained that day. Guiseppe and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowed us to have the small ceremony inside the restaurant on short notice and made an incredible meal to follow. Our guests were blown away and we couldn’t have been happier. We recommend Vinarius to everyone we know and that is thanks to Giuseppe and his awesome staff. Grazie mille!“

“I like the spicy pepperoni. It’s actually Spicy. The dough is GREAT. I can tell because I like the crust which I never touch. Service was nice. Not my fave style of pie but a great experience and addition for the city. The price point for the meal is also good!“

“My buddy brought me here to check this place out even though I wasn't hungry at the specific time lol, I ended up getting a slice of Hawaiian pizza and a double cheeseburger. Thee best new york slice of Hawaiian pizza I've tried to date and the burger was simple with big flavor. ps. definitely a must try when your in the north park area. 5 out of 5.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed a tasty branzino with lemon caper sauce, Lemoncello cake, and good cocktails. Also enjoyed the personality and getting to know more about the business by talking with one of the owners, Flavio. Recommend and will return. Felt like family.“

“Great restaurant been there four times now. Unique because they have wine selection and on Sundays there's no corkage fee and the bottles are sold at retail prices. Can't miss out on the pizza and of course the Italian food is amazing.“

“Great food. Fantastic spot inside UTC“

“Super dog friendly but they just need to sit on the patio. Chef Sam is killing it here at NPBC's latest location with their homemade pizzas. Also don't forget every Wednesday are the new weekly beer releases. They have on draft and Togo. They also have guest taps. If your doggo is behaving they might get a treat too.“

“The pizza is good, and we had our by the slice order in minutes. The pizza is a tad greasy when compared to other places we had, but it is good. I liked the crust. We would go again if we were in the area and wanted to make a quick dinner of pizza.“

“Their gluten-free pizza is hands-down the best pizza I've ever had, gluten-free or gluten-full! Their gluten-free pasta is phenomenal as well. Incredibly fast service for a Friday night as well.“

“Recomiendo todo Es un súper lugar cómodo ,bendecido Su personal y su comida Es lo máximo Sus bebidas no hay comparación ,su personal de la barra es súper Cada vez que tengo la bendición de estar en ese lugar me hacen sentir muy especial Todo absolutamente todo lo recomiendo Gracias CATANIA“

“Elvira is FANTASTIC. The food is amazing, the space is relaxing and beautiful and the service is wonderful. Each and every time I have gone, every person I've been with has raved about their meal. One of the great joys is bringing friends to Elvira for the first time and after the meal, they immediately make plans to return again. The only downside to Elvira is trying to decide if it's the best food in San Diego, or if Cesarina is. I love both of my daughters the same amount, and I love both of those restaurants the same. If you haven't been, you need to do yourself a favor and go.“

“Food was good.

Service could be improved. Had to ask for a food (after main dish) I ordered twice before just walking out. I could see the service quality changed right after I paid my bills.

Atmosphere was good. Frequent airplane noises but that's not something the restaurant can do much about. But not the place if you're looking for a quiet or private conversation.“

“Exceeded all expectations. Delicious and filling without the guilt. Looking forward to me next visit.“

“I ordered pasta and a small salad. The small salad was enough for 4 Japanese people. I think it would be a good idea to share one pasta dish between two people. If you have one for each person, you will definitely be more than full (^_^;)
The clerk was very nice and attentive. If it's too much, you can take it home.“

“Vero italiano a San Diego!!! Posto easy ma molto accogliente e curato; Personale super accogliente ed amichevole; Cibo super buono e davvero italiano Consigliata la focaccia di loro produzione e spettacolare spaghetto alla pescatora!! Top A presto“

“Everyone enjoyed the pasta & pizza“

“I love this place the pizza is amazing!“

“First time at URBN Pizza but it won't be my last. I had the clam pizza and it was excellent! The clams were fresh and the crispy crust was delicious! The service was wonderful. Rachel was a delight. I topped off my pizza with an Express Martini which was awesome. I will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience.“

“Fantastic pizza and great beer selection in a down to earth bar with very chill people. I’ve already been here twice this week. Specifically the pizza is all over the place in variety, from classics to some insane toppings that work oh so well! So happy to have found “

“Great food! spacious dining place.“

“Tonight was our first time and definitely will not be our last. Every dish was delicious! The best Carpaccio I’ve ever had. The ribeye we ordered Medium and it was so juicy and full of flavor! Both noodle dishes were fantastic and the squash was a side we ordered that was as tasty as the mains.“

“Great pizza! Kimberly and Michael, the owners are friendly and make a great pizza! I highly recommend when in San Diego.“

“Friendly staff and great food. A good place to watch sports.“

“Good service, fresh and delicious food, and reasonable price Definitely will be back .“

“every time my husband and I come to San Diego for our anniversary/my birthday we come here and eat dinner. the staff go above and beyond for us every time. The waiter gave me a free dessert with a lit candle for us to enjoy. my husband especially loves the cheese wheel pasta. Food has always been amazingly delicious and enjoyable. We look forward to coming back next year to enjoy another meal.“

“Great place for food, drinks and games. Have a wonderful time.“

“We REALLY enjoyed happy hour at Bay City Brewing! Taylor was AMAZING. HELPFUL and SO ENTERTAINING!! We had a ton of fun meeting regulars in for a drink before the Journey show; gaining insight from Taylor; and savoring some awesome beers and food!“

“Criscito is amazing!! We came here with a small group and ordered a few salads and several different pizzas. The salads were so good…the dressings all homemade. The pizzas were next level! Perfect crust, delicious sauce. The different flavor combos were so good. Best pizza I’ve had in the area!“

“Wish we had found this sooner. Excellent food — awesome pizza and pasta. It had that higher end casual feel with absolutely top notch taste. Zorka is an incredible chef, and Terry provided exemplary service. Treated me, my wife and son like regulars as visitors in SD for Comic Con. Will be a routine stop on every visit now!“

“Usually like their pizzas. Seems like there is no much flavor like before. No taste of spices. But they are very quike and curtious“

“Loved this place! We liked the atmosphere of the outside patio and the brick building where it houses the kitchen and counter to place orders. We got pizza and a philly cheesesteak sandwich for my family to share and we couldn't stop raving about it. This will be our go-to HALAL pizza joint when we visit San Diego again. We also felt taken care of by the employees. Lastly, I was really impressed by a clean bathroom with a diaper changing table for my toddler - a bonus.“

“Highly recommend! Delicious food, with a fun variety. Great service and the owner was wonderful. Can’t say enough great things about Pizza e Birra.“

“This is easily the best pizza in San Diego. Whether it’s a whole pie or grabbing a couple slices, the care and quality in the food is plain to see. You will not be disappointed. Standout pie to me is their Margherita, but you can’t go wrong with any choice. It’s ALL delicious.“

“Alright here we go … we LOVE pizza. First timers at Sauced Pizzeria. Greeted immediately with a friendly smile and picked our seats. Older homey feel inside, nothing new or modern BUT loved how clean it was and the authentic look of the place. We started with the famous breadsticks and marinara sauce, SO GOOD. Hot warm perfect amount of parm, made fresh, highly recommend. Then we had the meatballs. Tasty, sauce was good, cheese on top melted and good. Meatballs were ok, I was hoping for a little more flavor or garlic. Then pizza time … SO GOOD. The pizza was thin but a great crust. We got two pizzas one was half four cheese and pep with the other half four cheese pep and jalapeño. Then we got the chicken pesto with sun dried tomato VERY GOOD! Service was over the top AWESOME. The owner Christina greeted us and checked in often but not overbearing. Super sweet and friendly. Told us about the place and how she started. Staff all seemed happy to be there. Prices seemed fair not cheap but not pricey. And then last but not least because you know this will make or break a place for me, the bathroom was so clean. Also noticed they have an “A” rating so that was super cool. I mean this is the spot yall gotta check it out! See the pics in comments. (Couldnt add for some reason in my post.)“

“was good before, but new ownership is excellent! and the food has gotten even better. For sure a must try while in Mission!!!“

“Cucina Caprese is one of our favorites. Everything on the menu is fabulous. Guiseppe knows how to make delicious food. Best pizza ever!“

“Sisters Pizza has it all; great food; wonderful staff; friendly neighborhood vibe. Love it!!“

“Reservation was spot on. Parking was an issue with all the construction. As an Italian, I was expecting more Italian cuisine choices. The dishes ordered were tasty. The bottle of Barolo that I bought certainly complemented the meal. The only thing that didn't compliment the meal were their crostinis. Service was good and attentive on all counts. The music played in the restaurant however was not becoming. I would strongly recommend Italian music to go with the theme.“

“Amazing pizza, beautiful restaurant, and the staff are great.“

“I’m hooked, I always feel great after eating here! The cashew cheese is incredible, highly recommend.“

“Laura, my server, was super patient and amazing! The menu is overwhelming because everything looks so good, but but helped me pick out what paired with other choices Strongly recommend.“

“I highly recommend Concepto Pizza!
I've eaten the food at this small family business on many occasions and every single time it is absolutely scrumptious!

I've tried various toppings and they all taste great. The pizza is perfectly topped with cheese and toppings, the crust is exactly the thinness that I crave and always cooked to perfection. Their salads are fresh, crisp and delicious. The chicken wings are also very flavorful. Lastly, both the turtle and raspberry cheesecake are really satisfying.

The family that owns this business is hard-working and they are such good people. Not only is the food amazing, but you'll feel good supporting this family business!“
