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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Haven't been here for *years,* glad to see it's still standing strong. It felt a little loud and chaotic though, guess that's the vibe. I didn't look too closely at the menu since there was a line forming behind me. Although the pesto pizza looked amazing, I told the guy 1 Combo Pizza Slice. I think they had a deal for 2 slices and a drink-- my friends said it was pretty reasonable price. Next time I'd get that, but I was feeling overwhelmed so I insisted on just one slice. Combo- it had sausage and pepperoni! I love how thin the pizza was. It was still able to hold its shape when being held and it wasn't overly oily at all. The sausage was good, I love when there's fennel in it. The crust was also good. I think they mastered reheating the pizza because it was hot, but not burnt. This is a CASH ONLY spot, but they do have atm in the back seating area if you do need to get some cash out. There's two tables in the main ordering area, 4-8 in the middle section, and even more in the back. In addition, on the tables they have: oregano herb, garlic seasoning, crushed red pepper, and parm available. read more

This is a great place if you're craving a quick, no-frills pizza place! Parking wasn't great, but we found street parking pretty easily and there's actually plenty of seating inside. There's a nice casual ambiance! This is a cash only, quick service establishment. We ordered the Whitestone and the Porko, portion sizes are huge. The Whitestone had that creamy ricotta + garlic combo that's super savory and satisfying, while the Porko was loaded with pepperoni, sausage, and meatballs. Great bang for you buck, can't wait to come again! read more

This place is the bomb. Centrally located in Hillcrest area. They have great NY style pizza sold by the slice or the whole pie. Quite a few choices for veggies and meat eaters by the slice. If not, you can always have it made your way with a whole pie. Very reasonable priced, especially nowadays with prices being so high. 2 slices and a drink for $9.00. You can't beat that. Plenty of seating space. No alcohol, No credit cards. ONLY CASH. Good thing is they have an ATM on-site. I can eat here regularly and never get tired. read more

Bronx is AMAAAAZING! The crust, the sauce, the cheese...*insert tears of goodness here* So I've eaten lots of pizza in my lifetime. I've had enough pizza to judge that Bronx is one of the top contenders in SD in terms of NY pizza. They got all the elements down: foldable slices, the cheese that goes harmoniously with the marinara is then slathered on top and ever so shimmers with glory, and the crust is ever so crispy...airy...and amazing. When I picked up my slices for the first time, I inhaled all that cheesy goodness and couldn't wait to sit down at the table to scarf it all down. My first stop was a dine-in, and just a reminder that they take cash only! They have lots of tables out in the back. Pizza took a while to get warmed up when it's busy. I highly, highly recommend trying Bronx on your day off. They won't disappoint. read more

Bronx Pizza - cheeeese - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here on a busy Saturday night, and although the line to order was long, it moved surprisingly quickly. I tried a slice of the Margherita and the Pesto pizza, both were freshly made, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The taste instantly reminded me of my trip to New York, and even the vibe inside felt similar. It was definitely crowded, and while there's plenty of indoor seating, finding a spot to sit wasn't easy. They also reheat the slices in the oven before serving, so there's a small wait, but the result is well worth it. Overall, a fantastic spot for pizza - I'll definitely be coming back often! read more

I was born and raised in the Bronx, and Bronx pizza was all I knew until I went to college. So, I think I can appropriately weigh in on what good pizza from my borough is. Pizza will forever be a hot topic with New Yorkers - everyone will have their own opinion on what makes a good best NY slice. You can even go so far as to include the greater tristate area as NJ and CT regularly weigh in with their offerings. But we're specifically talking about Bronx pizza today; I may be biased but I think it's some of the best pizza there is. Even though I now live in Westchester, I will usually only have pizza when I'm in the Bronx because nothing up here comes close to it. Why am I mentioning all of this? Because when I saw a place in San Diego called Bronx Pizza, my first reaction was "oh really??" - and even though I was in California, my curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to check it out. That being said, we made plans to grab lunch here after a day of exploring Balboa Park. Upon entry, BP gives off NY pizzeria aesthetic. You're immediately greeted by the production area which has pies on display. Beyond that, though, is a really spacious seating area which I didn't expect - so it's not hard to find a table if you're looking to dine in. The walls are filled with Italian-American and Bronx/NYC memorabilia which I thought was a nice touch. We noticed they had a special which came with two slices and a drink. That sounded perfect so I got a plain cheese and a pepperoni. The slices were heated and then we were called once they were ready. So, how was it? They came close, I think as close as they could. It was definitely a thin NY style slice, but the crust lacked that slight chewiness; that's partly due to the water - something that just can't be replicated. I also thought the sauce was a little bland, but not a dealbreaker for me. Outside of that, they were good slices. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, while BP does not totally replicate a Bronx slice, they do a great job making NY style pizza; this is likely a place I would order from regularly if I lived in SD. It's also nice to see all the love this place gets from locals and the positive representation it gives to the borough. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for great pizza in San Diego. read more

Real New York style slices in the heart of San Diego--what's not to love? They have a rotating variety of slices and can also make full pies and calzones. Reasonably priced, great crust, good ingredients. The atmosphere is nice as well--they have a bunch of New York baseball and American boxing memorabilia hanging on the walls, and signed photos of famous people are in the front room. Come by for a consistent and tasty piece of pizza. I've never been disappointed. UPDATE: You'll want to order 30 minutes ahead if you're looking for a full pie or a calzone, especially on the weekend. It gets quite busy. Also, they've removed the soda fountain and now only serve bottled water and Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite in cans. read more

Sooo good! This is the best thin crust pizza I've ever had and I love a good thin crust pizza. My partner lived on the east coast for college and loves this place, truly the epitome of New York style pizza. It's even better heated up the next day in the oven. I posted a photo of the box with my hand on it to show how the pizza is huge. The place is cash only but we called in an order for a whole pizza ahead of time and by the time we drove there it was ready for pickup! It was a quick grab and go. They also have some seating if you want to eat there. The location feels a little like a hole in the wall. Very casual with a pickup counter facing the street. read more

This pizza is great! We came here based on the reviews. We called ahead to order and we were told our pizza would be ready in about 20 mins. We ordered a 18" Specialty Pie Bronx Deluxe (5/5) and a pesto pizza slice (5/5). It was our first time here so we were unsure if we'd take the food to go or dine in. We decided to dine in. There is seating when you first walk in and additional seating in the back. The ambience is inviting and chill. The booth we sat at looks kinda like a house setting, with windows and curtains. Each table has cheese, hot peppers, garlic and oregano. Overall, great food and good experience. read more

Still amazing NY thin crust pizza after all these years! The place looks the same after over 15 years since the last time I got to visit. The nostalgic feel of the restaurant with its decor is just iconic as their pizza. The big slices, the cheese pull, the flavor, it's a SD staple to try NY pizza hehe. If you're in the area you MUST stop by. You can't go wrong with pepperoni or cheese, still my all time favorites. But I used to also come here for the white pizza yum. Parking isn't always easy but it's usually a quick walk away. BRING CASH!!! read more

Hands-down best pizza in SD. You can't get closer to NY than this in a pizza. Top notch h in quality and consistency. Call 20 mins in advance if you plan to order a whole pie - order it well done if you like a crisp undercarriage. Cash only!! Still decent prices for the best pizza you truly can't complain. The place has authentic old school vibes with the NY theme displayed throughout the little restaurant. We always get the pepperoni with banana peppers on the side, but all of their pizzas are great. read more

My 20-Year Secret: The Ultimate Old-School Pizza Joint (That Doesn't Need My Help Staying Busy) Look, I've been gatekeeping this place for over two decades. Never wrote a single review, never hyped it online, barely even told friends. Why? Because it already feels like home, and some things you just want to keep for yourself. But here I am, finally cracking the vault--mostly because it doesn't need my word-of-mouth anyway. The line is always there, snaking out the door on busy nights. If you can't spot where it starts, just ask the people standing around. They'll point you right in. Trust me, it's worth it. This spot still feels exactly like 1995, and that's the highest praise I can give. The guys behind the counter are warm, human, no corporate script in sight. You walk in and immediately exhale. No rush, no nonsense--just good pizza and people who treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. The prices? Pure time-machine magic. Two giant slices for $7.50 (no drink). Yeah, it's probably crept up a couple bucks over the years, but it still feels like a steal in this city. Back in the day I'd rotate between pepperoni or the porko special. These days? I'm a creature of habit: straight cheese or cheese + mushroom. They toss your slices back in the oven, and about five minutes later they call your name. Hot, bubbly, perfect. That's the real draw for me. In a world that moves too fast and feels too cold, this place makes me feel human again. I grab a corner table, shake on some garlic, parmesan, and chili flakes from the actual shakers (none of that sad packet life if you're eating in), and just... daydream. Nineties nostalgia hits different here. Life made more sense back then, and somehow this pizza brings a little of it back. Practical stuff, because I care: * Cash only, my friends. Hit the ATM on site if you need to (it has a fee, so come prepared). * Street parking only. Next door to the dry cleaners. For the love of God, do not block the driveway. Your car will get towed. Nobody cares if you ordered ahead or think you'll only be two minutes. Park across the street or around the block if the spots are full. You've been warned. * No soda fountain--just cans or bottled water. They've got small side salads and calzones if you're feeling fancy, but me? You'll probably find me in the corner with my cheese-mushroom combo, lost in the sauce (literally and figuratively). * Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Plan accordingly. If you're in the mood for pizza that tastes like simpler times, this is it. It's not trendy. It's not Instagram-bait. It's just... home. And after 20+ years of keeping it to myself, I'm finally okay sharing. See you in line. read more

Perfect late night stop in for a pizza and a coke. We had the pepperoni and the cheese this time and they did not disappoint. The place was busy around 9pm on a Saturday night but the service was fast. They warmed up the pizzas and we sat inside to eat it. It's got a communal vibe still, after all these years. I first ate it in 2013 and it is still just as delicious now. read more
