This pizza was amazing, very nice char taste like wood fired style crispy crust, great toppings and sauce. Pizza was a small and it was huge, I saw the large pizzas and they were massive 2-4 people for large, 1-2 for small. Great selection of craft beers too. Service was really good, pizza took a little while to come but it was very busy (it was a padres game night) so that was to be expected, was definitely worth the wait! A must try place in San Diego.

Dough is the most important part of a pizza for me and they nailed it. Very flavorful, chewy, crispy and lightly charred on the bottom to perfection. We tried the mashed potato pizza and a make your own red pie, both delicious. The mashed potato works way better than you think, absolutely worth a try. The bar was packed for a weekday but still had plenty of seating in another area away from the bar if you want somewhere more chill to eat. Service was great as well.

Although we ordered a thin dough pizza for take away it was completely undercooked. Dripping in grease through the box and on the plates when we tried to eat it. It went directly to the bin. Wasted money. The worse pizza we have NOT eaten in years. They should change the pizza name, instead of "So Meaty" it would be better "So Greasy".

My favorite pizza place for over a decade now! Food here makes me so happy! Love the red sauce and their salads are delicious too.Great place to start a night downtown and also a great place to end it as well. The staff here, are some over my favorite people in the industry.Family friendly. Good for groups, happy hours are better than before, and a free pool table for those who want to run it! Pandemic brought outside dining!!!

Have you ever watched Dave Portnoy do a pizza review on the Internet? One bite here and he gone. Anyone who's had pizza would say 'that's not pizza'. What you get is this oversized pie that's not cut into the standard 8 slizes. It's sliced willy nilly, so your picking up a variety of sections. Terrible. and the service at this joint stinks. Stay away.

Arguably the best pizza in San Diego. Highly recommended! Very cool atmosphere too! Quasi open with a big garage door and a really high ceiling. Pool tables. Great bartenders and service too! I love this place.

I drove to SD from LA for a concert last month and stayed at an Airbnb. This restaurant was recommended by my host as their favorite pizza place in San Diego. I am so happy I listened to my host because this place was fantastic. The pizza was delicious! I ordered a "small" pizza but me and my date could not finish it in one sitting! The taste was 10/10 and so was the atmosphere. They have a pool table and great sitting throughout. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try for a pizza and a cocktail.

Was trying to find a place in the area that would take just over 20 of us (half kids) after a cheer competition. Many places wouldn’t take that size, or kids, but with just a couple hours notice, they blocked off an area for us and took great care of us all. Speedy, friendly service. Pizza was great and surprisingly reasonably priced. Atmosphere was great as well. Will for sure return next time in town. Great white pizza, and the mashed potato and bacon pizza was a good and fun pizza to try. Kids loved the cheese and pepperoni.

Bad management. What used to be a good spot is now trash. Trashy music, trashy atmosphere. Maybe the manager hates the owner and want the place to fail. No other explanation why the manager is going out of his way to ruin this place. None of my friends want to hang out here anymore. They say it’s trash. Bad management will sink a place every time.

Friendly and attentive staff. Thin pizza base with a crisp crust was good. My wife's gluten free pizza was one of the best she has had. $6 Stone Delicious on HH was good value.
