Uncle Jesse is too dry for me
Dawnes J.

Bruh, how is the Uncle Jesse the #2 most popular pizza at this spot? I ordered one last night and it was dry af. The flavor was okay but it needed some sort of sauce. The lemon pepper wings were decent so I'm giving it three stars but I was seriously disappointed in that pizza.

The best pizza by the slice we had on our trip. Took uber here after a trip to the zoo. Delicious crisp crust with the perfect balance of toppings. Efficient, nice service.

Uncle Jesse Pizza, Garlic Knots

In the middle of Hillcrest you'll find Sisters Pizza, a place for everyone serving food for everyone. Not just meats, but vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options as well. Not just pizza, but pasta, sandwiches, and salads as well. Not just indoor seating, but outdoor, frozen, and to-go options as well. Our table was served with a smile as they handed over our Uncle Jesse pizza and garlic knots. The garlic knots were slightly dry with only a small cup of marinara sauce to save it. The pizza was oily, but tasted fine. The flimsy paper plates they gave us bent under the pressure. For what it is, there's nothing to complain about, but there's also nothing super memorable either. This pizza is within the deepest zone of everyone's comfort zones. The only thing that felt uncomfortable was my wallet. But it seems like this is a community staple. Great for families, or even stopping here on your lunch break. I would only come back for convenience sake. Also have to pay for street parking as well... Thanks for the memories!

Cruising through downtown San Diego on a sunny Monday afternoon, we found Sister's Pizza and stopped in for lunch. The first things that stuck out on the menu weren't the pizzas, but the Summer Salad, the Spaghetti & Meatballs and "Cap'n Trevor's Monday Fish Fry (Mondays only unless otherwise noted)." Being Monday, we had to get the fish fry, of course. We also got several pies and an order of Spaghetti. The fish fry was 3 pieces of crispy battered cod with house-cut fries and it hit the spot - something about those fries still has me thinking about it. The Spaghetti & (two gigantic) Meatballs was a hit, especially with the kids, and the pizza pies went very quickly. Sister's is a great little find in San Diego - a nice space with good food, friendly staff and lots of character. Definitely coming back again when I can!

So my previous review was actually Little Sister's. MY B ANYWAY.. lovely pizza good price and good customer service. We got the medium pepperoni pizza pie and the size of the pizza was A LOT. Plenty of parking on a Friday night. Plenty of seating. We will be back!! And I hope to try more toppings and such!

Chickie Chickie Parm Parm Pizza
Claire J.

So mad at myself for not coming here sooner since I live so close!!! Everything about this spot is LOVELY. They have a cute dog friendly patio with a good amount of seating & great vibes overall. Ample amount of meter street parking to find nearby as well. The chickie chickie parm pizza was delicious 10/10, with thin crust and a great ratio of cheese, sauce and toppings. Excited to come back to try another pizza. Just beer and wine with decent selections, and friendly staff despite being busy :) they gave free ranch with the pizza as well as banana peppers/pepperocinis, pepper flakes and parm per the usual. Just a really cozy place!

Sister's Salad

Head to Sisters for New York Style Pizza in San Diego! Not only does Sisters serve fresh NY style and vibe is reminiscent to a neighborhood corner restaurant you might find on the East Coast. The staff is upbeat, friendly and you get the feeling it's a go-to dinner hangout for locals in the area. My wife and I came here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. We split the Sisters salad as an appetizer which I highly recommend (don't feel weird ordering a salad with edamame. The flavors work!) The meatball with marinara was another highlight. It reminded me of the meatballs I grew up on back east. Then last, but certainly not least, my wife tried a slice of the Veggie Pizza and I'll just say there's a reason that one goes fast. So, if you're in the neighborhood head to Sister's for dinner or grab a slice to go. I'll definitely be back!

Good variety of slices and flavors. Love this neighborhood pizza place. They serve pizza by the slice, full pies, salads, garlic knots, desserts-- something for everyone! You order at the counter and they bring your order to you. They have mostly outdoor seating and some indoor tables. I've only had the pizza slices and they are delicious! Sisters Pizza seems like a great spot that serves the surrounding community. Parking is street parking and can be very difficult with a mix of metered and neighborhood parallel parking spots.

Patio

Sisters Pizza is serving delicious New York style thin crust pizzas with a spacious outdoor patio. Staff were friendly and helpful in helping me pick through their selection. FOOD 5/5 OBecian garlic purée (fragrant base), Mozzarella, goat cheese (distinct), mushroom (tender), pesto (aromatic) 4.5/5 Miss Piggy Tomato base w cheese and tender Taylor Ham and sausage PARKING Street side

Big chewy meatball
David N.

It's a quick-serve place with a nice outdoor seating area. The pepperoni slice I got was dry, too salty, and the tomato sauce was so light that if my eyes were closed I'd guess there was none. Buying pizza by the slice is just not the way to go. Also, there were flies landing on the pizza in the display case--there should be a screen behind it. I suspect that a freshly made whole pie would be better since the crust was pretty tasty. I'd ask for extra sauce on the side. I'm a real meatball fan and the huge ones here miss the mark. They're too dense, chewy, and not very tasty. Mine was served with a partially melted blob of cheese on top and the tomato sauce was bland. The garlic knot was delicious!

San Diego has a surprising amount of delicious pizza. Sisters Pizza regularly comes up in conversation with other NY style pizzas like Bronx or Tribute. What's nice about this spot is that they have a gorgeous dining area with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is so pretty and a great place to just relax and eat in the fresh air. You can order pizza by the slice that's displayed in a glass counter by the register. Besides pizza, they also offer appetizers, salads and pasta dishes! They had a beef lasagna special while I was there. I called ahead for takeout to order a pepperoni pizza. It was good! I liked that the crust was firm and held up when you picked up the pizza. The pepperoni is the little cup type which is the best. Definitely a good pizza and I like that this location is a little easier to access and park at than their little sister location in North Park.

Don Ho Pizza

I stopped by on a Monday around 3 PM and had no trouble finding street parking. Ordering is done at the counter, and they sell pizza by the slice, which is always a win. They have a happy hour Monday through Friday from 4-6 PM that includes a slice of pizza and a glass of wine. I ordered two slices and a glass of wine and my total was under $20. Such a great deal. I tried two slices: *Don Ho: Absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy with great flavor. *Rooftop BBQ: Also amazing. I really love their crust; it's flavorful without feeling heavy. One of the staff members even brought me ranch to dip it in, which was a great touch. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The patio is covered and really cute, and dogs are welcome, which I loved. I'll admit I was a little hesitant to come here because I wasn't a big fan of Little Sister's, but this place completely exceeded my expectations. Easily one of the best pizza spots in San Diego. The staff were incredibly friendly, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond, even offering ranch on the side without being asked. I'll definitely be back.

Miss Piggy Pizza

The servers and guys at the cash register were so happy to see us and just happy to serve. Immediate good vibes there. We sat down and ordered at the counter inside and the food arrived in a timely manner. We got mozzarella sticks (yum), garlic knots (yumss) and two pizzas. We got a plain cheese pizza and the Miss Piggy. We come from NYC and this pizza was a delicious treat and reminder of what we are used to back home. 10/10 would definitely come back.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the flavorful thin crust pizza, wide menu variety, friendly and helpful staff, and welcoming atmosphere.

Ask the Community - Sisters Pizza

Is there a parking lot near by?

No, it's all street parking- some metered some not. I typically don't have too hard of a time finding street parking and never have to walk more than two blocks. Although I never go on Fridays/saturdays

Do you have vegan cheese?

Yes, we do! We use Follow Your Heart brand. On Wednesdays vegan slices are available and any other day we're open vegan pizza is available by the whole pie.

Will you sell a pizza par-baked?

No, but they now offer Fresh Frozen Pizzas you can bake at home. :)

Are dogs allowed on the patio?

Yes!

Do you take reservations?

Hello Michael! We do not take reservations. Patio is available on a first come/ first served basis. We hope to see you soon!

Do you have a drink menu?

Yes! I can text you a photo? Yelp won’t allow me to share a pic here.

Do you have a happy hour?

Yes! Weekdays 4-7.

Do they have vegan cheese?

Yes!

Is there a dedicated area for making the gluten free pizza? I have Celiac Disease so I'm wondering about cross-contamination. Thanks!

We have a 14" GF pizza crust from Venice Baking Company and we build it from there! We are a small restaurant so full-disclosure, there is always a chance that flour is in the air and could come into contact with the pizza.

What no anchovy?

Yes anchovies!

This was more than dinner. 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.

Great find. Looking forward to our next visit here. Ask for a Luca You won't be disappointed…read more.

We had dinner at Nonna on a Thursday evening while visiting San Diego, and it was one of the…read morehighlights of our trip. We sat outside on the sidewalk, it was relaxed and welcoming. The real star was our server, Marcelo. Instead of just taking our order, he asked each of us what we like and suggested a dish for everyone. He was spot on. I had the Rigatoni Palermitana, with sausage, pomodoro, capers, olives and a kick of Calabrian chili, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone in our party loved the meal. It felt like eating at an Italian grandmother's table, which fits the name. If you're in Little Italy, go, and ask for Marcelo! PS don't forget the gelato!

Sunday evening in Little Italy, and Nonna was PACKED. Somehow, we managed to snag a table outside…read moreright next to the Little Italy sign, and honestly, it couldn't have been a better spot. After a long day at the beach, we ordered a bottle of wine, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't ridiculously overpriced. Sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine and watching Little Italy come alive was exactly what we needed. Our server was exceptional. 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.
