“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!!!“

“Thhheeeee absolute BEST pizza on the west coast HANDS DOWN!! Im from Brooklyn, NY and they definitely brought the authentic expirence and taste from home!!! I bring all my friends here! This is one of my happy places! Food-10 Service-10 Location-10 Price-10 😀“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 am visiting from Washington state and read about The Friendly in an article. I saw that it was close. and thought it would be great to check out. I am so thankful I did. It was absolutely amazing. 10000000/10 would recommend!!“

“We had Prince Street cater a special event. The food was delicious and delivered on time! Everyone spoke highly about the tastes, but the attention and response from staff was outstanding! The manager handled details and communicated regularly. We spoke to the chef about menu choices and amounts to best serve our population. Everything was on point. Thanks so much for helping our gathering unfold seamless!“

“Great food and great service! Food was fresh and expertly prepared! Probably the best service I have ever experienced and the place was busy at the time we were there!!“

“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.“

“Vegetarian options: Ask Sam, a kitchen wizard, to vegetize your ‘za & he’ll dazzle ya. My chow chow, Stella & I roll by the PB shop every day & she laps the always fresh, cool water — not just one, but 2, fresh bowls, show how they care for the doggos (on the patio) too. Mega-friendly vibe. Fun merch.“

“Super recomendable, la comida deliciosa y muy buen servicio 👌“

“Excellent food and the service was splendid.“

“Food and service were top notch! My only small gripe is the flies for outdoor seating. There’s little cute fans restaurants can now have at tables to keep them at bay. It just takes away from the atmosphere when you’re swatting non stop.“

“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“

“A chic and open pizza shop located on the main street of Ocean Beach. The large windows allow you to enjoy the view of the street while you eat, giving it a refreshing feel, and the fact that it faces the street gives it a lively atmosphere. The pizzas in the showcase can be ordered from just one slice, and are large, NY-style with a thin crust and a thick crust. There is a variety of flavors, and there are other menu items other than pizza, so you can try a variety of things.“

“Great food. Fantastic spot inside UTC“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“This is an old-school Italian restaurant. Spaghetti and meatballs are simple and delicious! A bottle of the house chianti is a bargain. Don't expect fancy, but do have an appetite, the portions are very generous. We didn't have the pizza, but by the looks of it, were glad we went with the pasta.“

“Everyone enjoyed the pasta & pizza“

“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.“

“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“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“

“I love this place the pizza is amazing!“

“This pizza was very delicious and flavorful! The reason why we took a star away was because we waited over 45 minutes for our buffalo chicken wings. This was on Saturday 03/15/25 around 8pm so we were there waiting till their closing time. They gave us 6 extra wings to compensate, so that was considerate. The ambiance and music is good too!“

“Great food! spacious dining place.“

“Massachusetts Mike’s Pizzeria offers great tasting pizza. We ordered 18 inch Hawaiian Pizza and it was freshly made to order. We ate the entire pie between the two of us. We will definitely come back.“

“The good: Steaks cooked perfectly (though a tad salty), surprisingly delicious pasta dishes (spicy rigatoni and Orecchiette with tomato were standouts!), and a truly excellent carrot cake.

The not-so-good: Service was efficient but lacked warmth. Our server removed our wine bottle prematurely, so be sure to speak up if you're not finished. No complimentary desserts for birthdays.

Overall: Good food with some exceptional dishes, but the service could be more attentive and personable for the price point.“

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

“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!“

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

“I requested a specific booth & they had reserved it for us. The sangria was refreshing & tasty, the meatballs & arancini started our meal off on a perfect note. We shared a margarita pizza & casarecce cacio e pepe, both were delicious! For dessert we shared tiramisu that was a large yummy delight! The service was on spot & friendly. All of the staff was lovely & welcoming! Definitely a must try restaurant! We've eaten here at least 6 times in the last 18 months.“

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

“First time here, visiting from Portland, OR. I knew they had "Gluten-free" listed on their menu, as newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease, it's some comfort that I might be able to eat something. I let the host know when our group arrived. After being seated, our server came up and confirmed with me that I had Celiac Disease and let me know which items were Celiac safe and how they were prepared. The Gluten-free gnocchi were fantastic, as was the Burrata appetizer. Thank you so much. Our Triplet Birthday group absolutely enjoyed ourselves.“

“Absolutely incredible! This spot has become my go-to for both pizza and Philly cheesesteaks if I’m in town. I come all the way from LA the pizza is always hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings—perfectly crispy crust every time. But the real star is the Philly cheesesteak sub! It's packed with tender, flavorful meat, melted cheese, and the right amount of seasoning. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or dining in, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend! Tell them Dan sent you“

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

“We hired Criscito Pizza for our engagement party, which hosted around 65 guests, and it was a fantastic choice! The team provided a wonderful selection of pizzas, each one warm, fresh, and delicious. Our guests loved the variety, and there was something for every taste. They went above and beyond with the setup, providing all the necessary flatware, plates, and a beautiful table arrangement that made everything look organized and inviting. Their service was seamless and added so much to our celebration. Highly recommend them for any event!“

“Great food, great service. Can't go wrong here.“

“I went to have dinner with my family. we ordered the family deal which came with an appetizer a large salad a large Alfredo pasta to share and a large pizza we order half al pastor and half meat parade we were 5 and we all left full everything was delicious.Owner was veryhelpful and the food was great 👍we found our new spot“

“Great spot to stop in! We are visiting California and our kids wanted pizza so we stopped in for a couple of slices. The staff were so incredibly friendly and kind, even giving a few tips for us navigating the area. My kids are 6 and 9 and they have raved about this pizza for the past two days since we visited. Great food, great staff!“

“Outrageously good pizza from a hole in the wall business. Perfect crust IMHO, thin and crisp in the middle, pillowy and crusty on the outer rim. I've only had the Truffle pizza and it was to die for. I can't decide if I should get that again or try something new on my next visit. Maybe I'll go half-and-half. It's hard to wait until 4 PM when they open!

I see price ratings of $20-30 but those ratings should be per person. Whole 18" pizzas are $25-$28. We had two big slices left after feeding three people so I'm going with $1-10/person.

Vegetarian options: Our veggie friend LOVED the Truffle pizza.

Parking: Strip mall location, there was unlimited parking very close to the front door.“

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

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

“Excellent representation of Detroit style pizza“

“I saw pizza by the slice and while the 3 other guys in my party chose Mexican as we waited for the trolley I chose Concepto and what a good decision! perfect slices good prices and excellent taste and crunch! I really think it is as good as I remember pizza in Brooklyn where I come from...“

“Great pizza & angel hair pasta! Owner is super friendly & fun atmosphere…awesome tunes.“

“Great place to grab a bite in normal Heights for some grab and go pizza.

The pizza is so delicious and affordable and the staff is so nice. Looks like a hole in the wall, but that’s the kind of pizza.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love pizza

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for a wheelchair“
