Delicious Pizza and Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The curated menu offered pizza, cheesey bread, one salad, and tiramisu, all of which were very well done. I particularly enjoyed the ranch and caesar dressing, which were so good. While I haven't tried the tiramisu yet, I'm looking forward to it. The only minor wish is that bacon was offered as a topping. The service and food both received a perfect score of 5.

Great Movies and Fantastic Pizza!
I’ve been here twice in the last couple of months, and both times they had great movies on the TV, like Avengers Endgame and Avatar 2. If I had more time, I would have definitely sat down and hung out watching both. Whoever is in charge of movie selection, keep it up! The pizza is fantastic too. I recommend the Testarossa.

Beautiful Place, Incredible Staff
What a beautiful place! The people working here are incredible. You can tell they genuinely like their jobs. The owner must have a very good relationship with their employees.

Best Pizza in San Diego!
I feel incredibly fortunate that this restaurant is located so close to my home. Each visit, I indulge in a slice of testarossa and perhaps some TIERRA-mi-su. I am consistently convinced that it serves the best pizza I have ever had, surpassing even what I experienced during two years living in Boston, and undoubtedly the best in San Diego. I plan to continue patronizing this establishment for the foreseeable future.

Better than Italy!
I recently returned from a trip to Italy, specifically Florence and Tuscany. I can honestly say that the pizza standard here was more enjoyable than the several places I tried in Italy. The food was exceptional, and I was thoroughly impressed. The service was also top-notch, contributing to a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was equally delightful, making the overall visit very pleasant.

Disappointing Experience, Not Worth the Rating
I'm baffled by this place's 4. 8 rating; I'd give it a 3. 0. I was expecting something exceptional, but my wife and I were disappointed. We dressed up thinking it was a nice establishment, but it turned out to be a very small space with only four tables and scratched metal chairs. We were served on cheap, thin paper plates while waiting for our pizza. We ordered half Terrisanti and half carnivore. The pizza itself was not good; it was excessively greasy, lacked flavor, and the crust was tasteless. The cheese also tasted cheap. They really need to invest in higher quality ingredients and update their furniture and decor. The presence of a sink next to our table was also quite odd. My experience last week at a 4. 9-rated Italian restaurant was fantastic, and this place was the complete opposite.

Best Pizza in San Diego!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I believe this is either the best or second-best pizza in San Diego. The only other contender is Tribute, but it's super expensive and the sauce isn't nearly as good. This is by far my favorite place in SD. The pizza is F I R E 🔥. (P. S. Get sauce on top, the sauce is incredible)

Huge, Amazing Pizza with Perfect Crust!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the huge and amazing pizza. The crust was perfect, and the toppings adhered well, preventing them from sliding off easily. Every bite was a delight, and I would definitely come back for more!

Top 3 Pizza Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I decided to try it because I saw people coming and going while I was doing laundry nearby. I can confidently say that this place is now in my top 3 of the best pizza I ever had. The food was exceptional, and the overall experience was highly positive.

Best Pizza Crust in San Diego!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially regarding the food. I found the pizza to be the best in San Diego. While it's a small spot, it works well. The 2-3 day fermentation process is key to their amazing, crispy crust. I highly recommend this place.
