    Terrible these days. Used to be decent, quality has gone so down hill. The dough is like a dried cracker with sauce and cheese. No flavor. Crust is over cooked.

    Margherita and AB7 slices

    Quick lunch stop, not too busy, quick service - two slices at $5+ each. Margherita and AB7.

    Pearl St is buzzing with its food scene, including Pizza on Pearl St. We arrived on a Saturday as soon as it had opened and people were already lined up to order pizza. My husband and I tried 4 different slices: - The Wally - thin crust, pesto base w/cupped pepperoni, hot honey, and fresh mozzarella - AB7 - thin crust, red sauce base w/cupped pepperoni, hot honey, and ricotta - my favorite!! - Hawaiian (thin crust) - Pizza of the Month - a thick white slice (no base sauce), pepperoni, topped with a drizzle of each sauce: red, pesto, and vodka Overall, the pizza here is BOMB and they have a wide range of slices to choose from on the menu. Service is quick, we ordered and our slices were warm and ready to eat within a few minutes. They also have a small parking lot out upfront, but we parked on the street fine. I can't wait to come back and try some more slices from Pizza on Pearl!

    I have passed by this spot numerous times on my way whenever I go to taco stand but did not make the trek here until recently. All of the parking around here is street parking, though there technically is a lot, it is always full. I got 2 slices (veggie and the other one was a pepperoni honey one), both of which were $10 ($5 per slice), and it was absolutely delicious!!! I loved the thin crust and the pizza was not too doughy tasting. It doesn't have the greasy pizza taste to it either, which I really liked. The service was quick and there are a couple of tables inside. I would recommend going out to the beach and eating it if you can. I'll definitely be back to try more slices!

    Dinner in San Diego, California... My cousins requested a place with pizza, beer, and a big screen TV... so that they could watch the football game. (Sorry, I can't remember who was playing... LOL!) I used my Yelp app and found: Pizza on Pearl This is a casual, cozy, low-key place with a small, shared, free parking lot right in front... and convenient restroom way in the back. The staff were friendly and helpful! We ordered at the counter and sat at a table. We were called when our warmed-up slices were ready to be picked up. We all enjoyed the crisp, thin crust A LOT! It was almost like a cracker, but lighter. The toppings were wonderful! I had a slice of The Greek, and then a slice of Verde. Both were delicious! Thanks for the hospitality and yummy pizza!

    Pizza on Pearl is super underrated. They're $5 a slice. We got the Miramar. It's a white sauce thin crust pizza with pepperoni, bacon and spinach. Honestly one of the best things I've eaten today on my food adventure in La Jolla. I'll definitely be recommending this pizza joint and revisiting to try their other slices.

    Prices are kind of steep and the food was not memorable. The staff is decent and the wait was short. There's almost never any parking because the business next door always has a line out the door.

    Cheesecake

    I'm leaving 3 stars because while the pizza tasted great and they had a lot of unique flavors to choose from, I was really disappointed to find mold on the cheesecake slice I purchased for over $7. That's honestly unacceptable and pretty concerning from a food safety standpoint. The pizza itself was enjoyable, but the dessert experience definitely ruined part of the visit for me. I hope they pay closer attention to freshness and quality control moving forward.

    It doesn't look like much on the inside but for a slice shop, this among the best pizza I've had. The pesto pepperoni and the chicken bacon ranch were the best. Perfect crisp on the dough, pepperonis were delicious, loved every single slice. Go here!

    Bbq Chicken and AB7

    Great selection of NY slices (some with a California twist). We got the BBQ Chicken, The hot honey with pepperoni (not the pesto version), and a slice of cheese (not pictured). All were good and hearty (generous portions), but none I would crave. It's a good place to go if you are hungry and looking for something quick and relatively inexpensive, but personally I prefer Regents, Bronx or Moto as far as taste goes. Parking is a little tough here. If you are local or within walking distance, it makes it much easier. It's in the same strip as The Taco Stand, an Empanada place, and a burger place and there are only 5-6 shared parking spots. The server was not very friendly but maybe he was just having a bad day. Inside there were tables and a TV. The water button did not work very well on the soda machine. You need a code to use the restroom. Over all they have solid slices, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to go. A+ for presentation though--the slices were visually appealing!

    First time trying out this place and it was a good pizza ! I like how it was somewhat of a thin crust but my favorite was more of the stuffed knots they had. 10/10 would get that again. As for the pizza it was good just for me personally when biting into it, it was just super greasy. I loved the spot though they give good big portions and they're quick as well so the service is really good here. I recommend trying the stuffed knots ! Also just an FYI there's limited parking

    My fiance and I ordered for a delivery from here last night. We ordered the Supreme Pizza which includes a variety of meat and veggies their garlic knots and a calzone like pizza bite. The Garlic Knot stuffed with cheese pepperoni and jalapeno was amazing! I'm really picky with bread dough and they had top-notch quality. Our pizza tasted fresh and tasty. A little spicy too! Quality is great I was very pleased. And it traveled well! 10 and out of 10 great pizza spot

    $25 for 4 slices of pizza is a joke. New owners, pizza is paper thin and ridiculously expensive. Lost our business.

    Absolutely delicious food with incredible service and a great view. We came here for a birthday…read moredinner during a very busy week, and it was the perfect respite from the craziness! Our favorites were the duck pasta and tomato and burrata appetizer, but everything was delicious. Highly recommend sharing everything family style - you'll want to try as much as possible! In addition to the great food, everyone here was amazing. For one, our server accidentally put in an appetizer that we didn't order, and instead of taking it away, they gave it to us as a complimentary treat. They also explained everything well, packed things up for us as we went so that we had room for new dishes, and gave a full sized cheesecake slice as the complimentary birthday dessert. Overall, I will absolutely consider coming back to Catania for any special occasion, or just a delicious meal!

    We stopped by Catania on Sunday evening because my family and I wanted to have dinner there…read more Unfortunately, the experience started off on the wrong foot the moment we walked in. The hostess was a short young woman with straight dark hair. She gave us a cold, unfriendly, almost hostile look and quietly mumbled, "Please wait." There was no smile, no warmth, no "Hi" or "Welcome" -- just a very dismissive attitude. We waited for a bit and then watched her chatting casually and comfortably with other guests. It was hard not to notice the difference in how we were treated, and honestly, it just felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. This is La Jolla, and for a restaurant at this level, we expected a basic level of hospitality and professionalism. Instead, the whole vibe was off from the moment we walked in. So we decided not to stay and simply left. First impressions matter, and unfortunately ours was a very bad one. Hopefully management takes a look at the front-of-house experience, because people absolutely notice these things. Wishing Catania the best.

    TLDR: Fav spot for italian food in San Diego! Romantic vibe. Great wine list…read more Absolutely love La Dolce Vita. I've been several time now and it's become a staple date night spot and a great italian place to bring family from visiting out of town. Such a cute almost hidden atmosphere that you get when dinning outside- which is so different from other dinner spots in La Jolla. The food tastes authentic and is absolutely delicious, it just may be my favorite carbonara that i've had in San Diego. The service is always great- the staff is kind and so welcoming- it feels like you're dinning with family. And of course great wine list!

The highlights: Pappardelle Brasato -- the best thing we ordered. If you come here, get this. Calamari Fritti -- solid and well done. Misses: Mare Monti Risotto -- dry. Risotto should be creamy, and this wasn't. Eggplant Involtini -- disappointing; the only flavor that came through was the tomato sauce, so the dish tasted flat. Just Ok: Cannelloni Spinaci -- so-so, nothing memorable. Risotto Short Rib, Penne Alla Vodka, and Spaghetti Pescatore -- all fine but nothing special. Service was pleasant and the room was nice. But at these prices ($20-$36 per plate), the inconsistency is hard to overlook -- only a couple of dishes shine and most are forgettable.

My husband ordered the Salmon a la Griglia and he really enjoyed it with the risotto. I had the Seafood Cioppino. It had a great deal of seafood including really big mussels, shrimp and salmon. The broth was great too. The service was great and the meal was terrific. It has a nice variety on the menu. It seems to be a popular neighborhood place. we will be back to try some of the other treasures.
