Great selection of pizzas either made as the whole pie or the East Coast style of single pizza slices. Single slices are available to-go fairly quickly as they are ready-made and crisped-up in the oven within a few minutes. Plenty of fun drinks on tap as well as other options like red wine and ready-mixed cocktails. The garlic parmesan knots are awesome… yummy! The indoor space is fun with lots of TV’s and plenty of places to sit. The decor is funky with upside down beer taps hanging from the ceiling. Also, in front of the store the parking spaces have been converted to outdoor dining as part of the city of San Diego’s “Spaces as Places” outdoor dining program. There are large tables with bench-style seating, umbrellas and ocean views down Avenida de La Playa to the boat ramp. The enthusiastic staff are very friendly and always happy!

Food: (4/5) a regular thin pizza, nothing too special but it was what we wanted. They had vegetarian pizza options which was great!

Garlic knots!!!!! Get ‘em, eat ‘em, be happy!!! Your only regret will be not eating more knots. Yes, the pizza is great but dough not leave without scarfing those garlicky buttery knots. Pun intended!

We had a member of our party that had Celiac disease and the staff took the time to explain how they could accommodate. They made sure to clean all of their surfaces, change gloves, and then used parchment paper below the gluten-free crust to prevent cross-contamination. The food was great and I appreciate the staff taking the time to accommodate our needs.

Stopped at this pizza place after spending some time on the beach. its a nice and quite big restaurant with lots of shaded seating outside. The pizza selection is pretty good, lots of different types of pizza slices ready. its a touristy place so there is lots of folks stopping by just for a slice and a drink. Actually this is one of the few pizza places i’ve seen with beer on tap which is great on a hot day like today.

My gamily all loved the pepperoni pizza. Service was good but one family had wrong pizza made and 2nd tossed as burned, 3rd was comped and eventually got food. Very frustrating. Still the quality is good despite that negative experience in our large group.

This place was such a great find! Quaint shop with both indoor and outdoor seating and deals for a pizza and drink or beer combo. I loved the extra garnishes available for parmesan and chili flakes. Great friendly staff and amazing thin sliced veggie pizza.
