Porko ($4) - This slice transported me to New York City. It had the classic crispy thin crust that you could fold and enjoy. I'd recommend this slice if you want a variety of meat as it has pepperoni, meatball, and sausage. Pepperoni ($4) - I thoroughly enjoyed this slice, too. Whitestone ($4) - My husband ordered this and it was surprisingly my favorite slice! It was by far the most flavorful because of the ricotta and garlic. Highly, highly recommend this popular SD pizza spot! read more

My 20-Year Secret: The Ultimate Old-School Pizza Joint (That Doesn't Need My Help Staying Busy) Look, I've been gatekeeping this place for over two decades. Never wrote a single review, never hyped it online, barely even told friends. Why? Because it already feels like home, and some things you just want to keep for yourself. But here I am, finally cracking the vault--mostly because it doesn't need my word-of-mouth anyway. The line is always there, snaking out the door on busy nights. If you can't spot where it starts, just ask the people standing around. They'll point you right in. Trust me, it's worth it. This spot still feels exactly like 1995, and that's the highest praise I can give. The guys behind the counter are warm, human, no corporate script in sight. You walk in and immediately exhale. No rush, no nonsense--just good pizza and people who treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. The prices? Pure time-machine magic. Two giant slices for $7.50 (no drink). Yeah, it's probably crept up a couple bucks over the years, but it still feels like a steal in this city. Back in the day I'd rotate between pepperoni or the porko special. These days? I'm a creature of habit: straight cheese or cheese + mushroom. They toss your slices back in the oven, and about five minutes later they call your name. Hot, bubbly, perfect. That's the real draw for me. In a world that moves too fast and feels too cold, this place makes me feel human again. I grab a corner table, shake on some garlic, parmesan, and chili flakes from the actual shakers (none of that sad packet life if you're eating in), and just... daydream. Nineties nostalgia hits different here. Life made more sense back then, and somehow this pizza brings a little of it back. Practical stuff, because I care: * Cash only, my friends. Hit the ATM on site if you need to (it has a fee, so come prepared). * Street parking only. Next door to the dry cleaners. For the love of God, do not block the driveway. Your car will get towed. Nobody cares if you ordered ahead or think you'll only be two minutes. Park across the street or around the block if the spots are full. You've been warned. * No soda fountain--just cans or bottled water. They've got small side salads and calzones if you're feeling fancy, but me? You'll probably find me in the corner with my cheese-mushroom combo, lost in the sauce (literally and figuratively). * Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Plan accordingly. If you're in the mood for pizza that tastes like simpler times, this is it. It's not trendy. It's not Instagram-bait. It's just... home. And after 20+ years of keeping it to myself, I'm finally okay sharing. See you in line. read more

Delicious thin crusted pizza in Hillcrest. We were able to easily get street parking on a weekday. Cash only, ATM inside. Plenty of seating indoors. We tried the pesto, pepperoni, and the porko slices. The pizza tasted fresh and they also heat up the slices for you (we ate there). My favorite was the pesto and there is a generous amount on top. Would happily come back and grab a quick slice!! read more

Been coming here for 30 years and really enjoy this pizzeria. All different types of slices. No POS system so ya gotta have cash. I think Dave from One Bite should review this pizza. Gotta get the $9 special it's a total bargain. Porko is my fav. But the Cheese and others are all great! Whenever I'm in SD I stop here and pickup slices. read more

Overall a very solid slice for the price. We got a pepperoni slice, a Whitestone slice, and a pesto slice. Out of the three, I liked the pepperoni the most, it had the best balance of flavor and texture. The pepperonis were solid, and sauce the cheese ratio were good. However, I felt the sauce was a little lacking in flavor and the bottom of the very floppy and didn't hold up very well even though I ate it within 5 mins of getting it. The Whitestone pizza is a solid choice, but it is very ricotta heavy so it might not be a great choice for people who don't love it. I enjoyed the texture a lot on this one though, nice and crispy bottom and good crust flavor. The pesto was probably my least favorite. A little overly salty taste. Pesto wasn't super flavorful. I probably wouldn't get that one again. Definitely worth grabbing a slice or two from Bronx pizza if you're in the area or want some very reasonably priced slices. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

There's a nice casual ambiance! This is a cash only, quick service establishment. We ordered the Whitestone and the Porko, portion sizes are huge.

Haven't been here for *years,* glad to see it's still standing strong. It felt a little loud and chaotic though, guess that's the vibe. I didn't look too closely at the menu since there was a line forming behind me. Although the pesto pizza looked amazing, I told the guy 1 Combo Pizza Slice. I think they had a deal for 2 slices and a drink-- my friends said it was pretty reasonable price. Next time I'd get that, but I was feeling overwhelmed so I insisted on just one slice. Combo- it had sausage and pepperoni! I love how thin the pizza was. It was still able to hold its shape when being held and it wasn't overly oily at all. The sausage was good, I love when there's fennel in it. The crust was also good. I think they mastered reheating the pizza because it was hot, but not burnt. This is a CASH ONLY spot, but they do have atm in the back seating area if you do need to get some cash out. There's two tables in the main ordering area, 4-8 in the middle section, and even more in the back. In addition, on the tables they have: oregano herb, garlic seasoning, crushed red pepper, and parm available. read more

This place is the bomb. Centrally located in Hillcrest area. They have great NY style pizza sold by the slice or the whole pie. Quite a few choices for veggies and meat eaters by the slice. If not, you can always have it made your way with a whole pie. Very reasonable priced, especially nowadays with prices being so high. 2 slices and a drink for $9.00. You can't beat that. Plenty of seating space. No alcohol, No credit cards. ONLY CASH. Good thing is they have an ATM on-site. I can eat here regularly and never get tired. read more

Bronx is AMAAAAZING! The crust, the sauce, the cheese...*insert tears of goodness here* So I've eaten lots of pizza in my lifetime. I've had enough pizza to judge that Bronx is one of the top contenders in SD in terms of NY pizza. They got all the elements down: foldable slices, the cheese that goes harmoniously with the marinara is then slathered on top and ever so shimmers with glory, and the crust is ever so crispy...airy...and amazing. When I picked up my slices for the first time, I inhaled all that cheesy goodness and couldn't wait to sit down at the table to scarf it all down. My first stop was a dine-in, and just a reminder that they take cash only! They have lots of tables out in the back. Pizza took a while to get warmed up when it's busy. I highly, highly recommend trying Bronx on your day off. They won't disappoint. read more

Came here on a busy Saturday night, and although the line to order was long, it moved surprisingly quickly. I tried a slice of the Margherita and the Pesto pizza, both were freshly made, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The taste instantly reminded me of my trip to New York, and even the vibe inside felt similar. It was definitely crowded, and while there's plenty of indoor seating, finding a spot to sit wasn't easy. They also reheat the slices in the oven before serving, so there's a small wait, but the result is well worth it. Overall, a fantastic spot for pizza - I'll definitely be coming back often! read more

I was born and raised in the Bronx, and Bronx pizza was all I knew until I went to college. So, I think I can appropriately weigh in on what good pizza from my borough is. Pizza will forever be a hot topic with New Yorkers - everyone will have their own opinion on what makes a good best NY slice. You can even go so far as to include the greater tristate area as NJ and CT regularly weigh in with their offerings. But we're specifically talking about Bronx pizza today; I may be biased but I think it's some of the best pizza there is. Even though I now live in Westchester, I will usually only have pizza when I'm in the Bronx because nothing up here comes close to it. Why am I mentioning all of this? Because when I saw a place in San Diego called Bronx Pizza, my first reaction was "oh really??" - and even though I was in California, my curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to check it out. That being said, we made plans to grab lunch here after a day of exploring Balboa Park. Upon entry, BP gives off NY pizzeria aesthetic. You're immediately greeted by the production area which has pies on display. Beyond that, though, is a really spacious seating area which I didn't expect - so it's not hard to find a table if you're looking to dine in. The walls are filled with Italian-American and Bronx/NYC memorabilia which I thought was a nice touch. We noticed they had a special which came with two slices and a drink. That sounded perfect so I got a plain cheese and a pepperoni. The slices were heated and then we were called once they were ready. So, how was it? They came close, I think as close as they could. It was definitely a thin NY style slice, but the crust lacked that slight chewiness; that's partly due to the water - something that just can't be replicated. I also thought the sauce was a little bland, but not a dealbreaker for me. Outside of that, they were good slices. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, while BP does not totally replicate a Bronx slice, they do a great job making NY style pizza; this is likely a place I would order from regularly if I lived in SD. It's also nice to see all the love this place gets from locals and the positive representation it gives to the borough. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for great pizza in San Diego. read more

Went here for a quick late lunch the other day. This is a cash only, no frills, very chill BEST pizza in SD. At least top 5. Street parking only. There are 1-2 spots metered in front. They have simple ingredients. Not even close to overly saucy or greasy. No ranch ok. Rustic style crust. Brooklyn style pizza. Canned sodas. They offer parmesean cheese, pepper flakes, oregano basil blend for optional toppers. They also serve whole pies just order ahead. Prices have been fair since I knew of this place years ago. Come hungry and leave full to one of the best pizza spots in town. read more

My wife and I got two slices and a beverage each! The total came out to $18 which is a great deal! It is cash only but they have an ATM so no problem. The service was fast and friendly.

Real New York style slices in the heart of San Diego--what's not to love? They have a rotating variety of slices and can also make full pies and calzones. Reasonably priced, great crust, good ingredients. The atmosphere is nice as well--they have a bunch of New York baseball and American boxing memorabilia hanging on the walls, and signed photos of famous people are in the front room. Come by for a consistent and tasty piece of pizza. I've never been disappointed. UPDATE: You'll want to order 30 minutes ahead if you're looking for a full pie or a calzone, especially on the weekend. It gets quite busy. Also, they've removed the soda fountain and now only serve bottled water and Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite in cans. read more

A friend brought Bronx to a recent gathering and I was instantly reminded how good the pizza is at Bronx. Seriously, it's fantastic. As other brands have come and gone, built out menus with waaaay to many items, and have gone a bit overboard with "creative" pizza combinations, Bronx has stuck to their guns and pumped out delicious pizza that is little changed (if at all) and every bit as good (if not even better) than the first time I ever had a chance to dig into one or three of their delicious slices. read more

Perfect late night stop in for a pizza and a coke. We had the pepperoni and the cheese this time and they did not disappoint. The place was busy around 9pm on a Saturday night but the service was fast. They warmed up the pizzas and we sat inside to eat it. It's got a communal vibe still, after all these years. I first ate it in 2013 and it is still just as delicious now. read more

If this place had their own dedicated parking lot, I know they'd pop off even more than they already are. BTW, it's cash only !!! read more

Cash only! But worth the stop at the bank. There's also an ATM inside if you don't have any cash handy. Another great pizza spot to add to my favorites in SD. LOVED the crunch of this pizza and combo pizzas are my go to, so no complaints here. Plenty of seating and we ordered this entire pie for pickup which was ready in 18 minutes and cost us about $30.

The place is cash only but we called in an order for a whole pizza ahead of time and by the time we drove there it was ready for pickup! It was a quick grab and go.

This pizza is great! We came here based on the reviews. We called ahead to order and we were told our pizza would be ready in about 20 mins. We ordered a 18" Specialty Pie Bronx Deluxe (5/5) and a pesto pizza slice (5/5). It was our first time here so we were unsure if we'd take the food to go or dine in. We decided to dine in. There is seating when you first walk in and additional seating in the back. The ambience is inviting and chill. The booth we sat at looks kinda like a house setting, with windows and curtains. Each table has cheese, hot peppers, garlic and oregano. Overall, great food and good experience. read more

Hands-down best pizza in SD. You can't get closer to NY than this in a pizza. Top notch h in quality and consistency. Call 20 mins in advance if you plan to order a whole pie - order it well done if you like a crisp undercarriage. Cash only!! Still decent prices for the best pizza you truly can't complain.

If you're in the area you MUST stop by. You can't go wrong with pepperoni or cheese, still my all time favorites. But I used to also come here for the white pizza yum.

This was not a misunderstanding. This was misleading menu design, and your own website proves it. Before ordering, I reviewed your online menu carefully. Multiple pizzas are clearly labeled "no sauce." That language is not accidental. It establishes a standard: pizzas not labeled "no sauce" are reasonably expected to include red sauce under the cheese. That is how pizza works. That is how consumers interpret menus. That is how your menu is structured. We ordered the only pizza that did not say "no sauce" specifically because my wife and I agreed it would have red sauce. That was the entire basis of the decision. When I arrived home and opened the box, there was zero red sauce. None. Not under the cheese, not blended, not hidden -- absent. I have uploaded photos. The evidence is there. My wife immediately said, "What? There's no sauce?" and the evening went sideways instantly. Let's be precise: The base price was $22. I added mushrooms at $3. This was over $25 for a pizza that did not match what your menu clearly implied. This cost me: * Time driving to pick it up * Time away from my work * And the peace of what was supposed to be a simple night together The problem is not taste. The problem is not preference. The problem is misrepresentation. If a pizza has no sauce, it must be labeled as such. Your menu already demonstrates that you understand this concept -- because you apply it to other items. Failing to apply it consistently is either careless or deceptive. Either way, the customer loses. Customers should not have to: * Guess * Infer * Or gamble on whether a pizza contains the most fundamental ingredient of a pizza. This is not "New York style." This is not "how we do it." This is poor disclosure and poor communication. I am fully aware of how Yelp reviews affect businesses. I do not write them casually. If Bronx Pizza is willing to acknowledge the issue, clarify the menu, and make this right, I am open to revising this review. But as it stands, this experience was frustrating, disruptive, and completely avoidable. Your menu caused this. Your lack of clarity caused this. And other customers deserve to be warned. Fix your menu. Respect your customers' time. And stop making people guess what they're ordering read more
