Detroit style pizza done right. This place is a must if your is PB. There are so many pizza joints in the area but hands down the best. Way better than prince st. The service is top notch. I ordered online on toast and food was ready before I got there. You can't go wrong with any types of pizza there. Ranch goes well with the pizza. Ambiance isn't the best but walk down to the beach and eat. There aren't much tables there and your fighting for a spot to sit. Some tables are shaded and some are not. read more

First timer here on a Friday around 6pm. Great service (bit of a wait but well worth it) Tried the Cadillac and Hellcat Detroit style. Cadillac 4/5 - Great pizza! Love the crisp and toppings and the flavor goes so well! But I think our pizza was slightly rushed because in the center, it was a little uncooked but other than. Pizza is SOLID Hellcat 3/5 - Want to give a less rating because I personally didn't enjoy it but can't take away that it was cooked the same way as the Cadillac and it was crispy as well. But it was BEYOND too sweet and pizza was not edible for me. But it's just not for me so can't go too bad on the review. Seating 4/5 - Good amount seating outside, inside is super crammed and you'll get people bumping into you inside trying to look at the menu and adding additional condiments. But outside seating only (bring a sweater at night) Price - I would say it's worth it, the slices are large and filling. Steep at $30 roughly but it last me and my wife 3 days or so. read more

The friendliest customer service! I felt I was treated like a regular even thought it's my first time here. Even though a line started to form he still took his time to explained the pizza types, ordering process (depending if you want the slice vs a whole pizza). If you want slices then it's whatever they have available at the display case. Detriot style slices run about $7-$8 each depending on the flavor/topping. I thought it's a nice touch that all the slices are named after cars. Pontiac - cheese blend, red sauce, cupping pepperoni (classic pepperoni 4/5) Dodge - spinach, mushroom, ricotta, and garlic (the ricotta was so creamy 4/5) Corvette - pepperoni, sausage (3.5/5) They do reheat for you and takes about 5 minutes after ordering. Free parking is near impossible and the lots nearby are very pricey. There's a good amount of outdoor seating out front. read more

I ordered the GM pizza (meatballs, ricotta, huge basil pieces) and it was really tasty. I'm a big fan of Detroit style pizza. The price wasn't bad either. I also tried one of their cannolis with pistachios which was also delicious. I ordered online because they tend to be pretty busy, and it's a small shop. My order was ready when I arrived. Service was friendly. read more

Square Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Fantastic pizza. True Detroit style and if you've never tried it you should. This is not deep dish from Chicago - the dough is surprisingly light and fluffy. But it's the caramelized edges that you live for- so good! Sauce is great as were the ingredients. The sausage and pepperoni and cooked just right- curled up and a little brown, full of flavor. It's not a 5 for me only because of the ambiance. It's just ok. This is really a grab and go place, although there are a few tables outside. The front of the store is just a bit messy and confusing- looks like they use some of the space for their deliveries. This is a casual laid back place. The guy who took my order was nice enough. They are busy and churn out pizzas. Delicious pizza in a take out location. Worth coming to! read more

Pretty good Detroit style pizza spot in PB, u order at the counter and chose ur slice(s), they will bring it to you once ready (doesn't take long) and there's red pepper, garlic powder, oregano, ranch, etc. Inside the restaurant is quite small but there's outdoor seating and each slice comes cut in half, it's a good size, I could barely finish one slice. Overall very good. read more

Square Pizza - We were so happy about the pepperoni pizza!! Hot honey too! They just were awarding the #1 Detroit Pizza in San Diego for 2026! - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

We heard good things about this place. We decided to check it out. For Saturday night it was pretty busy which was expected. It is a tiny little pizza shop. The food was decent. We ordered each a slice to try. They heated it up, but unfortunately, it was cold and could use a little more Cooking. Now the cheese bread was on point all the stars are for the cheese bread. read more

You need to try this place. When they say the Washington Post rated it the #1 Detroit pIzza in California, they weren't joking. Absolutely incredible pizza. We got the GM and the Pontiac. The crust was soft and chewy, the edges were crispy and chewy. The sauce had a fantastic flavor, but wasn't overwhelming the rest of the slice. It was hot, delicious, but not overly greasy. Everything about it blew my mind and I'm genuinely excited to heat up the leftovers tomorrow and eat it again. Service was friendly and upbeat. I ordered online and arrived about 10 minutes early thinking I'd have to wait, because it was a Friday night. Nope, it had just come out of the oven and was ready for me. Super small place, in fact there's no inside seating, but that's fine because there's plenty of outside seating or you can, and should, take this home and enjoy it on the couch with your favorite beverage. read more

What We Ordered: -Pontiac $25.00 We were visiting SD for the weekend! Since, my parents and I are native New Englanders who no longer living there. We were all craving Roast Beefs - we went next door to Jim's. Since, we have a preschooler. I wasn't sure if he would like the roast beef and whether or not we had enough food for everyone. So I came here to order a pie to make sure we had enough food. We ordered a Detroit-style pepperoni pizza called the Pontiac. The sauce was excellent. It's tangy and tasty! There was also a nice crunch to the crust! All in all, a solid pie! If we lived close by, this would be my go-to place. It was pretty good! To the dismay of my mother, I consumed a few too many slices. She just wanted more leftovers for the next day. Not on my watch! LOL! It did make a great breakfast the next day! read more

Square Pizza Co. on Cass St. in Pacific Beach home of the square pizza offers Detroit style square pizza baked to perfection. A small but bustling store, Square Pizza cranks out an assortment of pies from Detroit Style, Thin Crust and Sicilian style. As this with my first visit had to order a whole pie Detroit style of course with cupped pepperonis. Starting with a corner slice, the edges were crunchy and each bite was packed full of flavor with the generous amount of red sauce paired with the thick doughy pillowy crust. These slices are thicc and will leave you feeling satisfied. Service was warm and welcoming with exclusively outdoor seating. Highly recommend if you are craving a Detroit Style pizza. read more

Another day another great pizza from square pizza! This time I came on a Saturday afternoon. I called about 25 minutes before to place my order. When I got there about 25 minutes later, unfortunately my ticket was misplaced and my pizza was never made. Fortunately I wasn't in a rush and I waited about 15-20 minutes to get my pizza. I got the hell cat and it's a must try! The hot honey drizzle on top is to die for and even though my pizza took longer than expected, it was worth the wait. The service was good and they offered me a free drink for the inconvenience. Love this place! read more

Square Pizza earns a solid 4 stars from me. The taste is absolutely worth it, and honestly, the price makes it even better. You're getting high-quality pizza without feeling like you overpaid. The crust is perfectly done -- crispy on the outside, soft and airy inside -- and the sauce-to-cheese ratio is on point. Every bite is flavorful and satisfying, and you can tell they care about what they're putting out. Great flavor, fair pricing, and consistently good pizza. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

Sauce was just not very good, one of the slices the cheese was cold the other was hot like it should also the drinks were warm, the service was great though read more

The location of this establishment is perfect. We couldn't decide between a sandwich or pizza so we got food from two locations. There is a sandwich restaurant next to this place (see my other review). The staff were friendly and recommended something based on our food craving for the day. We got a deep dish with half and half for us and the kids. The food smells amazing and the food tastes even better. Again the location for this place is great. We ate outside and enjoyed the ocean breeze and we all left stuffed. We wanted more pizza but no one could eat anymore. 10/10 must try read more

I ordered the Detroit style pizza and it was a bunch of crust. Minimal pepperoni. The sauce was good. Just not my style of pizza.

Detroit style pizza loaded with toppings! They suggested two pizzas and we ordered three because we were hungry, well, they were right, we took one home! Crispy on the edges and gooey cheese and toppings spilling over, yes please! We enjoyed the Pontiac 2.0, Cadillac, and the PB Drive. We can't wait to come back when we are in town! read more

Omg I can't believe I haven't written a review for here yet-- my boyfriend and I have been coming here for months now and this is hands down our favorite pizza spot in San Diego (we are pizza fanatics). Every time we deviate and try a new place... yes I'm going to name drop Prince Street pizza, Bronx, etc etc... we immediately miss Square pizza. I am gluten free / dairy free and holy moly their gf / df pizzas are insane. Light and fluffy, vegan cheese melts like a dream. Bruno the co-owner is always so kind to us too and recognizes us as regular customers. All I can say is thank you and that we'll be coming here until we can no longer chew!! read more

I love pizza and trying new pizza spots is a hobby I love to do. Square pizza is a small shop with benches out front to sit at if you are eating there. It didn't take too long to get our pizza after order which is a good and bad thing. Good since I can eat sooner, but I wish the pizza was a little hotter when it came out. I would've happily waited another few minutes to really get it piping hot. We had the Ford, Mercury, and Dodge. All three were great. The crust was crunchy and the cheese was crispy at the edges! I'm a big fan of the corner slices! read more

Sorry to say, the consensus on the pizza was meh. Five stars for the hipster staff. We ordered sausage with extra garlic. First slice was yummy cause we're really hungry, second, not so much. Don't pay much attention to this review if you're young and had a lot of beer. We're old and picky. Regardless, support local! read more

My favorite pizza in PB. Their Detroit style is so Yummy; love the crunchy crust, tangy sauce, and pepperoni. Wife loves the veggie pizzas. Low cost too. Yummy cookie for dessert. Only problem is no salad. So we stop by Ralph's before, grab personal salads, then eat it with pizza on the seats outside square pizza. Perfect on warm night! read more

After hearing about Square Pizza, this place was on my top radar of pizza places to try. I was extremely excited to try this place just from the pictures. The slices we got were around $7 each (they slice it in 2 when they bring it out) which is on the pricier side, however these Detroit slices are quite filling. There's no inside seating but there are a few tables outside where we were able to eat. Service was friendly and quick, they brought out our slices in about 5-10 minutes. Between the slices we got (All Detroit-style), the classic Ford was my favorite! Classic sauce on top with just some cheese and basil, this was done really well. The Mercury comes with Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Pepperoni, and Olives. I felt that the ingredients were just okay and the pepperoni had a slight outside burnt crisp to them which I wasn't a fan of. The Dodge has Spinach, Ricotta, Mushrooms and Garlic. I liked this one more than the Mercury since the toppings were a bit more unique and they stood out by themselves. The crust on these Detroit slices are amazing! Crunchy on the outside with that strong bite of the cheese baked into the crust. My one big complaint (not sure if I'm an outlier) is that although the slices were warmed up, I felt like they weren't really hot when we took our first bites. They were warm, but not piping hot (which I think should be the way). And because of this, not only is the first bite not as explosive, but the other slices got room temperature way too fast. I would much rather have the pizza be scorching hot when it comes out since that's when it's going to taste the best. read more

I just want this review to say, "Every time I come to Greater San Diego, I will stop here. The end." But as someone that may or may not influence your next meal, I will leave that up to you. This wannabe know-it-all, when it comes to the stylings and ingredients used in Pizzas around the world, every so often learns amazing new things ... last year I discovered Detroit style pizza in Portland, OR. Afterward I made it my life mission to find it everywhere I go... THE ORDER: Apologies: I just found this in my drafts... I said I would finish it when I got home, but I never did. Reflecting back. The service was amazing and I noticed something there that defined the owner as Brazilian (like my mom) and we hit it off great. I am currently not in the area but, trust me... I am going back whenever I get the chance. " Hey! February 2025? Do you hear me?"...Probably March and April too, if you want me to be honest. read more

Overall 4/5 Food - crispy yummy Detroit-style pizza. The crust was made of hardened melted crispy cheese. This cheese crust was too rich in flavor for my liking/what I've tried before in similar pizzas. The flavor of the tomato sauce, bread, and pizza was good. Service + Ambiance - no frills, hole in the wall place. You order and pay right away. When your order is ready they call your name and you pick it up. Location is small and moreso designed as a carry out place. Limited seating inside and the outdoor seating is on the sidewalk near the main street. This seating was dirty. If I come back again I would opt to eat it elsewhere read more

If you're a fan of Detroit style pizza this is the spot to go to! My boyfriend and I got a whole pie for ourselves and it was delicious. It was my first time trying Detroit style pizza and I can definitely say I like more than Chicago style!

Add a review? Hell to the yes. If you haven't been here, you're missing out. Top quality. The red sauce is perfect. I mean, Perfect! We literally said, "ridiculous" 20x while eating.

Visited the place two days ago. I spilled my drink twice because of the wind. Used two additional paper matts to help with the clean up.

Pizzas fire & brazilian cheese balls are addicting. Everyone's so friendly there even when it's super busy they're attentive and you never feel rushed. Now that there's an extended patio there's plenty of space to eat. They're open pretty late & the slices are crazy big! 10/10!!! read more
