Ordered via DoorDash. Damn tasty pie. Nothing else to be said. Great crust, baked perfectly, balanced toppings. Really good.

Normally don’t leave bad reviews but man is this one deserved. My pregnant wife and I came in for pizza. I love sausage and pepperoni but unfortunately, you can’t have those toppings when you’re pregnant. Given this, we asked for their combo special, one half combo, one half just plain cheese; e.g. one half without any toppings. The waitress told us that even though we were pregnant, they can’t do split pizzas. I assured them, we weren’t asking for a split, just asking to not put any toppings on one half so that we won’t harm our unborn child but that we were happy to pay full price as though we had the entire pizza covered. They confirmed they didn’t give a care about our situation and that it’s too bad for us. Beyond the obvious unreasonableness, the service was extra slow. My drink took 15 minutes despite the empty restaurant and our check took another 15 as the waitress was heads down deep into coloring some sort of banner. Long story short, pretty disappointed. Will say the drinks were great and the crust was real good though for what it’s worth.

Good food, solid service. Got a calzone and tots. Paid $5 to add basil and oregano to a calzone. Insane

Incredibly overrated. Wings meh. Pizza greasy and flavorless. Nice staff and vibes. Unlikely to return.

the pizza was great and so was the drinks. the bartender was super helpful and was running the place quickly despite being alone. the place had fun games and created a nice vibe along with the offering of live music on some days.

I've received the wrong order, however, once I called to get the right one, everything was handled fast and professionally. Food was very delicious and of good quality. I can definitely recommend it! Service was awesome.

I was homebound due to recent surgery so delivery was my only option during that period of recovery. I really wanted to like their food because of the good reviews but it was on the average eh side...and for a pizza that cost a bit more, not worth it to me. Reviews said they put a lot of toppings on but mine didn't have many at all. It was supposed to have pineapple and I thought they'd have lots of pineapple which I was looking forward to, but it didn't have much at all so that was a big disappointment. I wonder if their draw is more for on-site dining, which is always more fun, and are they too lax on food they deliver? Or takeout? That always bothers me; do recommend their greek salad tho, that was good. I did call in and make a special request and the woman I spoke to was really nice and helpful & I appreciated that. I have to say I like Pizza Hut better which surprises me, and I would not order from here again. But it may be better for restaurant dining.

$30 for a 14" large pizza is a joke The za is good but there's other places in town where you can pay half the price for a BIGGER pie that's just as good.

Wings are dialed. If you like beer and sports come here. There’s a sick outdoor/indoor area with a pool table too. Casual, can get rowdy, great service.

Really good pizza & salads. They have a great booze section & wine. I like this place! Go check it out if you are in PB. I live in OB - however, if I am in PB, I do pop in..

Food is good.......if only it didn't take 2 hours to get the food.Went on a Friday. Right after ordering, the waitress said she had to leave and wanted us to close out before we even got our food.....we did that - BIG MISTAKE.After 15 minutes, they made us move to make a "dance floor" for the DJ. No one danced, it was just empty space. Well, these morons couldn't find us and even after complaining to the manager, nothing. I finally walked to the damn kitchen and started serving myself, grabbing all the utensils, drinks, food, everything.

5 stars for the pizza alone. My absolute favorite pizza in San Diego. It's cool how you can build 10-inch personal-size pizzas or go bigger. Keep in mind, though, that parking in this area is tough. They don't have their own parking lot. Also, the inside has plenty of TV screens to watch sports.
