Hands down my favorite new pizza spot. Far Corner Pizza absolutely nails it. The bread alone is next level it somehow tastes like it's made with East Coast water (IYKYK) and like a hint of sea salt. I ordered the Margherita and it was incredibly flavorful, not bland at all like some places tend to be. The crust was perfection: crispy on the very thin outside, soft and airy on the inside and tasty, with that subtle sea salt coming through in every bite. It's honestly hard to explain, but the pizza just tastes phenomenal. You can tell real care goes into it. This place is a must-try, and I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm not sure about this place yet. I don't know why but the bartender couldn't get my card to work and he kept telling me that it's not working and I told him it should be fine because well why wouldn't it be and he struggled for a bit eventually he got help from another bartender. As soon as that bartender helped me it went through. I went during their happy hour, and I got their blonde. The glass that I was served in had this egg like smell - that threw off my pallet a bit by the time I received my food. For food, I ordered the pizza munchkins. Which was basically just like a little round breadsticks with Parmesan cheese on top and on the side it came with spiced shakshuka sauce, poached egg and cilantro. The bread was very tasty. It was warm. You can tell that it was fresh. I felt like the sauce needed a bit more acid and salt. Especially the poached egg. I felt like it needed some salt. And I could tell that they had just poached the egg and they were keeping it in warm water because it was really firm. Texture wise the bread was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the egg or sauce. The ambience it seems like there's a lot of seating once you walk in. It was pretty empty when I got there, but by the time I received my food, it filled up pretty quickly. And there's even an area for families to dine in the back area where the coffee shop normally is. I wasn't that impressed but I'm gonna try and come through one of these days for the coffee and see if I have a better experience. read more

A Solid Hangout Spot With Personality Far Corner turned out to be exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble into on a night out. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was relaxed and welcoming plenty of space, good lighting, and a layout that actually lets you talk without shouting. The pool table and couches give it that "stay awhile" feel, and it works perfectly for groups. Service was friendly and easygoing, and the food surprised me in the best way. Everything we ordered came out hot, quick, and way better than you'd expect from a casual hangout spot. It's the kind of place where you look around and think, yeah, I could make this a regular stop. If you're looking for a spot to kick off the night with drinks, games, and a chill atmosphere, Far Corner delivers. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is amazing. The service is on point. Multiple people cover the area so they can make sure everyone gets the attention needed and food and drinks come out asap. Food was delicious. Caesar salad was dressed well and tasted amazing, beer list is great (like all of SD), and craft cocktails are cool (but I'd prefer a couple originals in the future). So close to petco park, but also easy to get to on a normal day. Loved this spot and it's on my return list read more

Becky and I were going to a party downtown on a Saturday late morning. We arrived early so Bex could help set up, that gave me about an hour to kill. I strolled up J street (from 14th), when I got to 10th, I saw that Far Corner was open, so I walked in. I was cheerfully greeted as I headed to the bar. I was the only patron at the time. Padres Fan Fest was in full swing so I'm sure business picked up later. Rachael (Rachel?) was my bartender. She was excellent. Super friendly, cool to chat with and efficient. And it never hurts when your bartender is everything a bartender should be and she's super-hot too. I did not try any food as I was being fed at the party. I did, however, peruse the menu. Their thing is pizza (like their predecessor Basic). Not just any pizza though, these pies sounded great. The Shrimp pizza is on my radar! If you're more of a pizza traditionalist, they've got you covered too. Also wings, salads, sandos and more. The Crunchy Potatoes sound awesome. I had three pints of Societe Light Lager then settled up with Rachel. It was only 15 bucks! $5 per pint, what a deal! Turns out it was happy hour all day (thanks Rach!). Not sure if it was just because of Fan Fest or not. We have Padres season tickets, Far East will certainly be a part of our pre-game rotation. read more

What a shame this place has come to since URBN closed. We came in to watch the Mexico game for the World Cup. Service was absolute trash and our server had a terrible attitude since the second we sat down. We requested her to cancel orders and get the check it was so bad. Once we did she started arguing with us that they were short staffed and weren't expecting to be so busy (it wasn't busy). As a former server, a little goes a long way and she could've warned us that there was going to be a delayed wait for food and drinks. A smile or just a little personality would have been appreciated but it's very apparent that most of the staff hate their job. Pizza was also super mid and nothing like URBN. I gave an extra star because the inside is a vibe but management should be appalled to have hired such staff. We used to frequent this place a lot the last couple years but that was definitely our last. read more

Awesome spot tucked right by Petco Park! Great for before a game or after, extensive menu with some of the best food I've had in SD. Must try the Almost Too Far and My Boy Blue pizzas. Great beer and wine menu as well. A must-try after a Padres game or if you're just craving some great food and a cool space. read more

Amazing experience at Far Corner! It's the perfect spot to get some work done in the morning. My barista, Isabella, made me the best vanilla latte, and their pizza is truly some of the best in San Diego. The atmosphere, coffee, and food make this place a must-visit. Don't skip out on this gem! read more

Finally came back in to sit down at the restaurant and my honest review is that the pizza is great, the drinks are good, and price point is good, but the service here simply isn't. We came in at 8pm and immediately our server said the kitchen was closing so we had to put our order in, which is fine, so we asked what time they were closing and he said "I'm trying to get out of here within an hour so yeah it would be great for you to be quick". The restaurant closes at 11pm.... I just went through and read several reviews here that also share similar sentiments and the responses from the restaurant owner on every bad review have now put me off from this place. I hope they can work on their service and understand they replaced a very beloved pizza place in East Village, so yes the bar will be higher for them but Yelp reviews are here to help restaurants learn and grow and hear from the people, not to leave snarky responses when given criticism. read more

Just left and will not be coming back, horrible customer service, and lack of accountability on a SLOW day. Came in around 2:50 on a Thursday to grab a bite before work. Food order was in by 3 for an order of wings.THIRTY minutes later my order of luke warm wings come out. I asked the bartender for a box given how long it had taken and needing to go to work to not eat in a rush. Bartender gave no apology, no offer to make it right, nothing. 6 people were sitting at the bar having drinks and about an another 8 at tables also just drinking. This place was not busy by any means to justify the wait. Not once during the wait did the bartender offer to check on the order to why it was taking so long. When the check comes, come to find out, the side of tiny ranch was charged at $3 and an extra side of sauce for $2 (or maybe vice a versa). When you ask a customer if they want ranch or Gorgonzola dip, why would you not disclose you're going to charge for the dip. Literally every place that sells wings includes the ranch, this is absurd. Would hate to see what this place is like during a "rush". Go to Tom's Watch Bar or Bubs a block away instead. read more

I keep giving this place more faith than it deserves. The bread sticks were stale as all hell but what's even worse is everyone's attitude here behind the bar. I'd say their attitudes are the equivalent of someone's spitting in your drink. It's sad because this used to be such a welcoming place to come after a Padres game and now after multiple tries i'd avoid this place at all costs. In the time we were at the bar, multiple people also walked away like "what the fuck just happened here" with the reaction they got from the bar staff. Don't work in service if you hate your job. Bless. read more

Far corner took over the former Basic Pizza location. Similar to basic pizza, they have a fairly limited menu of pizza, two salads, a calzone, or two side options. The space hasn't changed and has a large interior with bar, lounge, or table seating, as well as an outdoor deck. Service was good. We ordered the Ceasar salad to start and the Margherita pizza to share. The Ceasar salad was different in that it came with large pieces of romaine lettuce for you to cut and loaded with Parmesan cheese. The pizza is a thin crust style and large enough to share (with leftovers). I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It is a good neighborhood spot to grab a pizza and a drink while watching a game. read more

Get ready to find your new favorite spot in East village! I came here about a week after opening to check it out as it's near my office, and i had occasionally visited Basic Pizza a few times, when they were in this building. I'm a lover of pizza, so I had high hopes for this new place, and fortunately they were met! After reviewing the menu and talking with our server Casey, we decided to go with the almost too far Pizza. They let us know that was one of their most popular sellers, and after eating it I can definitely see why. The crust was light and Airy on the inside and crispy on the outside just like I like it. The hot honey flavor they add is just enough to give it that little something extra, and make it unique. As we were eating we met the owner Max, who I can tell is very passionate about his pizza, and It also shows up in the taste and presentation. He explained to us how the pizza they make won't leave you with that heavy feeling you normally get after loading up on carbs, because of the way they do the fermentation process. They take days with their dough, and don't just roll it up and throw it in the oven. I'll admit, I was a little bit skeptical about this, and I even commented that I'd find out later today, but Lo and behold he was right. I did not feel that need to crash out after, like I normally would after loading up on Pizza. This fact alone makes me want to come back here more often. Luckily enough during our visit, we met their in-house photographer Kai, who was extremely nice, and offered us some of the bites he had been photographing. We tried the tri-tip steak bites, which had a nice smoky flavor and we're not chewy. We also tried their potatoes, which I appreciate are not fried. They come with a little bit of aioli on them, bits of bacon-like pork and some scallions. The only thing I felt they could have added, would be some drizzled butter, maybe something infused. The last thing we tried was the salad. While good, this one seemed like it was missing something to elevate it, and I'm not a huge fan of the type of apple they used. I do need to say i really liked the inside setup as well. It's kind of like getting two restaurants in one, the left side is more of the bar area you might hang out with your co-workers or friends, and the right side is set up more family-friendly like your local pizza Eatery. It's separated in the middle by a cozy spot with sofas and tables. They still have the patio dining just like Basic did. As far as cocktails they have a full range of options along with several draft beers that are a pretty good deal at $7. I'm not much of a beer drinker but I tried the mother earth Cali creamin, and I did really enjoy how smooth it was. I also had an espresso martini, which is typically my go-to drink and it was pretty solid here. There are several other drinks on my list to try that look amazing, including the Selma and The Perennial buck. Overall we really enjoyed everything we ate and this is definitely going to be our go to spot for Pizza. I was told they will be likely expanding the menu a bit, and I can't wait to see what they add. I'll be going back soon for the Calzone, as a friend of mine gave it rave reviews. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, I think you'll really enjoy it. The staff were all amazing as well, and they were asking for feedback on the menu, which shows that they are looking to really please their clientele. read more

First timer here and this pizza was one of the best I've had! The crust was nice and soft just how I like it because I usually don't eat the crust on pizza unless it's soft and doughy still (just a personal preference). As far as the size of the pizza , it was more than enough for two people, although I can easily eat a whole pie by myself! So needless to say, I will be getting one to-go just for me next time. All of the flavors of the stracciatella mixed with the hot honey and basil were on point and perfectly balanced and overall it was just absolutely delicious. Service was good, our waitress was friendly and very helpful in assisting us on which pizza we should get. Can't wait to come back! read more

I was there today and the bartender Amanda was absolutely great. Friendly and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of .

I came here on a Sunday around 1:45 PM and had no trouble finding a seat. The space is big and well laid out, with a dining area on the right, high tops on the left, bar seating, and even sofas. TVs are everywhere, which made it easy to keep up with three football games and the Padres at the same time. The staff were great. Chandler took my order right away at the bar and had some solid recommendations. The tap list is excellent with fair prices. I ordered the Almost Too Far pizza, which was huge, sliced into eight pieces with a crisp crust. I ate four there and the rest reheated perfectly at home. The only downside is that they don't offer smaller portions of pizza. Not everyone wants to spend $30-$40 on a full pie when just grabbing a bite during a game. If they added single slices or smaller options, it'd be perfect. Otherwise, it's a fun, spacious spot with friendly service, plenty of TVs, and a great vibe for watching sports. Oh, and a plus is that dogs are allowed inside! read more

After a padres game this is definitely a popular spot to go to far a drink and food and I loved the old spot that was here so I was excited to check out what they did since it was taken over. They kept the same concept which is nice so we decided to go for a pizza. We were with the meat lovers which I loved because it wasn't overwhelming with a ton of different meats. It had pepperoni, sausage and guancille on it and it was pretty good! I will say it was a bit on the salty side but I enjoyed it a lot and the crust was perfect and I am not typically a crust person. We got some drinks on happy hour which was nice to see that they had a happy hour after a padres game. Overall it really wasn't too busy for after a Friday night game so I would definitely go back and try some of their other interesting pizzas they have on the menu. read more

I know a lot of people had strong feelings when Basic closed, myself included. It had a loyal following and a great vibe. But let me say this: Far Corner is the perfect replacement. It keeps the same essential layout and industrial-chic atmosphere, but the product...way better! This is hands down the best pizza I've had in San Diego, and I've done the full tour (Luigi's, Prince Street, Bronx, Sisters, Massachusetts Mike's, etc). Nothing compares. The crust here is the closest I've found to a true NYC slice: crisp on the outside, light and chewy on the inside, and foldable without the toppings sliding off (shoutout to Basic lol). We went with the Almost Too Far: pepperoni, stracciatella, hot honey, basil, and shaved parmesan. Absolutely nailed it. I love that they add the basil after baking (fresh and fragrant, not charred). The flavors blended together magically with the sauce, and that crust is just on another level. I dont usually finish the crust, but this thing had me begging for more. Each pizza appears to be about 14" (equivalent to a "Large"). The options are pretty eclectic too, just check out the menu (blueberries??). They also do BYO which is always a plus. We also shared the Classic Caesar, which is served steak-style with whole romaine leaf filets. Super flavorful with what tasted like a hint of sage (?) in the dressing which is unique and added a brightness to it I didnt know I needed. Easily enough for two to share as an appetizer. Craft beers on draft, chill vibes, friendly staff, and sports on every TV. Def hitting this place up after every Padres game. If you're still mourning Basic--don't. read more

Exceptional Dining Experience Every Visit!!! My family and I have dined at this establishment on multiple occasions, and each visit has been consistently outstanding. The service is attentive and professional, the pizzas are flavorful and well-crafted, and the ambiance is warm and inviting -- perfect for both casual meals and special gatherings. Most notably, we hosted a surprise birthday celebration for my daughter here, organized by her husband. The evening was a complete success. The food was exceptional, the drinks were generously served, and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Max, whose wit and hospitality added a personal touch to the event. He even treated us to complimentary Old Fashioned cocktails, which were expertly made and thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, this restaurant has exceeded our expectations every time. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Wether you value yourself a foodie or not, this place is for you. Everything is from scratch, no short cuts here. From the salads with homemade dressings with fresh herbs, to the pizza made with a dough that is truly a labor of love. Far Corner has a meticulous offering of shareable appetizers, salads, pizza and even a calzone with fresh spinach and now offering wings on a different level. Had the seasonal offering this time, Shepherds Pie and fresh beet salad. Delicious!! Also not to be missed are their specialty cocktails!! Not a bad drink here. Friendly service, great ambiance with a large bar space, a separate lounge area if you prefer comfy leather sofas and chairs or there is a sit down restaurant area too as well as outside seating. Fun place especially during Padre games. read more

Thought I was going to Basic Pizza. So sad it's not there anymore. Service is decent, nothing extraordinary. Ordered a pizza, once it came you could tell it was waiting under the heat lamp because the cheese was very chewy. Crust is decent. It wasn't busy, the staff seemed preoccupied hanging out with each other and eating food behind the bar. If I come back it won't be for the food. I'll wait for basic pizza to reopen at their new location. read more

Far Corner - Go Padres!! - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

usually don't write reviews until I've tried a place multiple times and sampled different menu items. That was the case with Far Corner Pizza. I've visited a few times since they opened, hoping things would improve -- but unfortunately, they haven't. On my first visit, I ordered a salad and built my own pizza. I have to say, it was one of the worst pizzas I've had. The cocktail selection was mediocre at best, and the drinks were just average. As for the food, the only redeeming quality was the pizza dough -- but even that was overwhelmed by the amount of salt used. Every bite tasted overly salty. Even the 16-inch pizza, which is a good size for sharing, arrived soggy and overcooked. I don't understand how something so simple can be so poorly executed. Yesterday, I gave it another chance and tried the vegetarian pizza -- which add pepperoni on it for kick :) . It was absolutely awful. I couldn't taste the mushrooms or vegetables at all; everything was drowned in salty cheese. The presentation looked fine, but the flavor was just terrible. I used to love this location when it was owned by the previous team -- they served rustic, simple, and delicious pizza. I've heard the new owner might be the son of the former owner, but whatever changes have been made, they haven't been for the better. Unless they seriously improve the food, I don't see this place lasting. There's nothing here to crave or look forward to. Sadly, it's just not worth your time or money. read more
