These Are San Diego’s Most Crave-Worthy Pizza’s — 5 Spots That Totally Delivered

Because everyone has a “best pizza” opinion — and we’re ready to be judged.

We tried the crispy, the chewy, the wood-fired, the foldable, the sauce-heavy, and the “did that come from New York?” kinds. Here’s where we’d go again — and what to skip if you don’t wanna start drama at the table.

1. Bronx Pizza – Hillcrest

📍 111 Washington St, San Diego, CA 92103
🔗 bronxpizza.com
Cash only. Paper plates. No frills. Just solid, greasy, giant NY-style slices that slap. You’re here for the slice, not the small talk.

2. Tribute Pizza – North Park

📍 3077 N Park Way, San Diego, CA 92104
🔗 tributepizza.com
Artisan pies with wild fermented dough, roasted garlic everything, and serious attention to crust. Great for picky eaters and pizza snobs alike.

3. Lefty’s Chicago Pizzeria – North Park

📍 3448 30th St, San Diego, CA 92104
🔗 leftyspizza.com
Deep dish heaven. This one’s for when you don’t care how long it takes, as long as there’s sauce drowning everything. Fork required. Nap recommended.

4. Filippi’s Pizza Grotto – Little Italy

📍 1747 India St, San Diego, CA 92101
🔗 realcheesepizza.com
A classic. Red-checkered tablecloths, hanging Chianti bottles, and pizza that comes in family-sized portions. Old-school and proud of it.

5. Bongiorno’s New York Pizzeria – Solana Beach

📍 524 Stevens Ave, Solana Beach, CA 92075
🔗 bongiornospizza.net
Foldable slices with that perfect cheese pull. La Jolla locals will say their Pearl Street shop was better, but this spot holds its own.

🍕 Final Bite

Whether you want a slice the size of your face or a Neapolitan work of art — SD’s pizza scene doesn’t play around. These are the ones that keep locals coming back (and visitors wondering why it’s this good).
