    BRONX PIZZA @ HILLCREST Parking is street parking only, but I definitely recommend turning down the first left once your navigation brings you to Bronx Pizza. It's kind of tucked away in the corner, and I was luckily able to find a spot pretty easily. Parking is free after 4 PM, and during school days I believe it's a two-hour limit before then. I had never heard of this place before, but my friend has been raving about it for the longest time. It's actually one of the highest-rated pizza spots on Yelp and Google and is known for its authentic New York-style pizza with a super thin, crispy crust. If you don't want to order a whole pie (which ranges from around $30-40), you can just grab a slice! Cheese slices are only $3, while specialty slices with toppings are around $4.50. They also have some great lunch specials, including two slices and a drink for just $9 or one slice, a salad, and a drink for $9. My boyfriend and I both went with the two slices and a drink combo. They have a good variety of drinks including soda, juice, and water. I just grabbed a water. For my pizza, I ordered the jalapeño pepperoni slice because I love spicy food and had never tried jalapeños on pizza before. This absolutely blew my mind. It was so flavorful, perfectly crispy, and had the perfect amount of spice. Every bite was amazing. One thing to keep in mind is that they're cash only, so be sure to bring cash with you. If you forget, they do have an ATM inside. The staff were incredibly friendly and heated each slice fresh before serving it. The restaurant has plenty of seating with booths inside, additional tables, and outdoor seating as well. They also have a restroom, and near the condiment station you'll find red pepper flakes, garlic powder, oregano, and other seasonings to customize your slice. Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype. It has such an authentic New York pizza shop feel, the pizza was incredible, and the prices are hard to beat. If you're craving a true New York-style slice in San Diego, this is definitely a spot you need to check out. 5/5!

    Make sure to bring CASH! What a deal to get 2 slices and a can of soda for $9! There was no wait. You choose the slices of pizza you want that is available in the case and they will heat up the pizza for you! Great customer service. I called in advance to see if there were tables available for a large party. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating area is in the shade. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a quick bite! Parking was harder to find. There are some spots by the restaurant, meter parking, and paid parking lots.

    Came out hot and tasty! The tomato was a nice fresh add to the pizza. Cash only but they have an atm machine if you're in a rush.

    As an east coaster who relocated to SD almost ten years ago, my goal has consistently been to find pizza, bagels, & egg sandwiches like they make at home or as close to it as possible. To this day, I'm still at a loss regarding the bagels & egg sandwiches as nothing has really come close (honorable mention: Pop-Up Bagels), but the legit closest I've come to having NY Style pizza in SD is absolutely Bronx Pizza! Bronx has been around since 1997 & they're coming up on their 30th Anniversary! That's quite a milestone. During the time I've lived in SD, I've come here a handful of times & it is always consistently simple, fresh, & tasty. You can buy individual slices or whole pies, but just make sure you bring cash. Services is fast & friendly, no-nonsense, but efficient. These guys know what they are doing. Bronx has two main dining areas & a couple of tables in the front. You bus your own tables, and tables are first come first serve. Street parking only. The decor has not been changed, probably since they opened, but it's giving "pizza joint that has been around for awhile & focuses on pizza and not trends or frivolous things" - that's good in my book. The vintage pictures of boxers including Ali, Tyson & more are pretty cool. Verdict: if you like pizza, come here! It is affordable & tasty.

    Honestly this was such a relief to find NY style slice pizza. So delicious! It is a fast paced environment the staff is working hard knocking pizzas out the oven back to back. Hats off to them! I went ahead and tried a slice of pepperoni and feta with spinach. Enjoyed every single bite. They do have seating out towards the right side of where you order. Nice little mom n pop shop. Try it out!

    FINALLY stopped in to grab some pizza after having Bronx on my list of spots to eat at for years! Absolutely delicious. Definitely a little hole in the wall spot and cash only, but the pizza was fantastic. Perfectly crispy with lots of topping options. I love that they do pizza by the slice here.

    Porko , Pepperoni
    Joriene M.

    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!

    Bronx Pizza is a small yet inviting pizza shop located in North Park, very good spot. Pros: the pizza here is New York style, so it's very thin, but also very tasty. They sell by the slice or you get a full pie that you can eat there or take it to go. They have a lot different options for toppings, and the most common that you will see by slice would be pepperoni, cheese, meat, lovers, spinach and ricotta, and a bunch of others. I ordered the tomato and basil slice, the Whitestone, spinach, and the meat lovers, all were very good and tasty. My girlfriend ordered the jalapeño and pepperoni, which was also very tasty. There was red pepper, oregano, and I believe garlic powder at the tables that you could sit inside which was very spacious once he actually got inside and passed the counter to order. I got the two slice plus drink deal which is nine dollars which I believe is the best price if you're not getting a full pie. They have a bathroom in there. That's all gender and they have a lot of seating inside that is very New York inspired. Cons: note that this is cash only, there are no ways to pay with credit card debit card or anything else. There is ATM inside in the case you don't have cash on you which is nice to have. There's also very limited parking around the area and you'd have to do street parking or walk there. There's no isolated parking lot specifically for this place. Verdict: is a solid pizza spot and I would come back here again and again for any kind of New York style pizza. The price is good and the taste is phenomenal!

    Hole in the wall spot that delivers exactly what it promises, authentic New York style thin crust pizza done right. As a pizza lover, truly enjoyed it. The Whitestone and pesto slices are standouts and worth coming back for. The $9 combo for two slices and a drink is an unbeatable value, especially for the quality you're getting. Staff is friendly and keeps things moving. If you're testing whether a pizza spot is legit, this one passes.

    Mushroom pizza needed some meat
    Angelina C.

    Came to San Diego for the Gold Cup BMX 2026 and this pizza was delicious glad we were able to eat a slice while we waited for our whole Pie.... mushroom slice was ok, honey grabbed the sausage and pepperoni oh lord that was top tier and the pepperoni was just perfect regret not grabbing À T-shirt see you guys next time thanks

    Porko slice!
    Charlie O.

    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.

    Olivia B.

    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!!

    Kevin H.

    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.

    Is your (new) Italian sausage permanent of temporary. My sausage tastes so bad of freezer burn I had to take it all off to enjoy. Please bring back the OG sausage?! 🙏🏼

    If you have a problem with your pizza order call the restaurant they'll make it right. I personally don't like the sausage, but I'm also a picky eater

    I am sorry to ask but I am Siciliano and cannot handle wet dough pizza since we use Focaccia bread down there - does Bronx style include the soft center or a wet part or are your pies cooked until the crust is firm?…

    Don, as a former NYr they don't have Sicilian, just the best Neapolitan pies with great thin crust. Also Calzones. Voted top 20 pizzerias in the US!!

    Are slices available every day of the week now?

    Yes, every single day

    Is it cash only?

    Yes it's cash only, they do have an ATM on premises..

    Gluten free options?

    No but it tastes amazing

    Is Dine-in back?

    No, take away is here to stay

    Do they offer any delivery service. Not on door dash?

    Sorry no delivery, come pick it up, we’ll have it ready when you get here😃

    How long does it typically take for them to make one pie for takeout?

    About 20 minutes. Call ahead and order so you don't have to wait.

    Have they started up dine in again yet? Or selling by the slice?

    Selling slices now, but not open yet… opening soon!

    Do you deliver to 91913?

    They don't deliver ANYWHERE. Go pick it up yourself.

    Is your restaurant dog friendly?

    Never seen a dog inside but not sure. Been there many many times

    Do they do deep dish pizza?

    Negative! Bronx = NY, deep dish is Chicago style! ;-) Have a nice day.

    When you order a whole pie will they do a half-half if you request? E.x. Half pepperoni half cheese

    Absolutely! They've done this for us in the past

    Do they truly use water from NY?

    It’s not heavy or hard to ship because they bring it in dehydrated.

It was an experience…read more We sat tucked away in a little corner that honestly felt like we were having dinner in someone's grandmother's house, and I mean that in the BEST way possible. Cozy, warm, intimate and welcoming. And the FOOD?! I was convinced somebody's Italian grandmother had to be downstairs hand making that pasta because there was no other explanation. I had the lobster ravioli and started with the bruschetta tostada. Everything was absolutely chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. But what made the experience even better was our waiter, Mauricio! He was simply amazing. He genuinely took care of us, shared the story of the restaurant and talked about how much he enjoyed working there. And you could tell. It showed in the way he treated us and the attention he gave throughout the entire meal. Great food is one thing. Great food paired with genuine hospitality is something completely different. I will DEFINITELY be back the next time I'm in San Diego. If you're looking for homemade pasta, amazing food and that warm family feel, put this place on your list. You will not be disappointed.

The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness. Everything in that case looked like it was personally designed to make you regret saying, "No, we're too full for dessert." Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.

There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot.

Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant.
