    Pizza
    Ashley S.

    This place offers a large variety of pizza . We got the H-izzo it was packed with topping and full of flavor . This dough is by far my favorite pizza dough in San Diego it is wood fired . Pizza cassette has two locations and depending on the weather both are great locations . Staff is friendly .

    HOLY SMOKES! This pizza was PHENOMENAL! When we looked up the menu online, we thought they had some great pizza options... we ordered the soprano and the flavor was amazing! The arancini was SO GOOD! The tiramisu was delicious! We don't live in California but might need to come back just for this pizza! The breeze from the evening September air and the open front door and windows made the setting so comfortable and the service was great as well!

    Let my start by saying that this location is new, therefore the service was a little slow which is expected when a restaurant is trying to find its groove! The Rossi with vegan cheese was great! The sauce was flavorful and the dough perfectly cooked. The Salad Days was just okay, perhaps just my personal preference because it was 90% arugula with a few pieces of mixed greens. The dressing that came with it was very good though! Staff was very friendly and apologetic for the delay. Definitely will return to the Pacific Beach Pizza Cassette in the near future!

    We already love pizza cassette from the garten- so happy they have a full sit down spot now and a wider menu. Their pizzas are EXCELLENT. I love the thin crust and just enough sauce. Really loved what they did with the inside of the spot as well - used to be really dark and uninviting. Hope they continue to thrive in PB.

    So excited to try this new place in PB! Great location too. We walked in and immediately loved the vibe. Cool artwork, nice dining sets, everything looked great. We ordered the cheese plate and The Elvis Pizza. Our server was great and attentive! Very helpful and definitely kept attention on all his tables. Let's start with the cheese plate. PHENOMENAL. We had an ale soaked cheddar that I would like to swim in a vat of it if I could. Perhaps the best cheese I've ever had. There was also gouda, some salama and truffle salami, break, a mustard, and a jam. The jam was so good it was gone almost immediately. The pizza was a little disappointing. So on it we got parm, arugula, and prosciutto. The arugula wasn't seasoned, just thrown on there, and there was just too much of it. It overtook the pizza. The sauce was also so bland, we were xo disappointed. However the couple next to us ranted and raved about their pizza, so we are holding out pizza judgement until we try some more. So I very well could be updating this review soon. Overall such a vibe! on the expensive side but wonderful dishes!

    Located where Hoboken Pizza and Rizers Pizza used to be, and I've honestly never seen this place this busy, so that says something right away. We started with the Fearless Flyer Salad it was fresh, well-balanced. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it, since I am a picky salad eater. For pizza, we got the H to the Ezzo has a really good meaty flavor and everything worked well together without feeling overdone. Their pizzas come in one size only, no small/medium/large. They also have a nice selection of beers, wine, and mocktails. This interior got a major upgrade from how it used to be. Only downside is parking it's rough, so expect to circle or walk a bit. Overall, great food, busy for a reason, and definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    First of all, we love (the OG) Pizza Cassette so much at The Garten; it is probably my favorite pizza out of all the choices in SD, no joke. So this expansion of a second location in PB is massively exciting for them. And the fact that I was able to attend their soft opening friends & family night was super special- thank you Jimmy!! This is the same great food but a completely different spin where the Pizza Cassette personality finally got to shine. Love the paint choices, the interior design, the wall art. Everything is so chic and inviting. Unlike the very casual and communal seating aspect of The Garten, this is a sit down dining experience and reservations recommended as its limited seating (esp for dinner). PIZZA: if you aren't already familiar with them I will share my favs! Happy they have the same great options. My absolute fav is the "Fungadelic" and its my go-to choice every time. For this visit we also got "The Sting" (salami, mozz, parm, jalapeno, hot honey) and for those spicy lovers, its legit. The combo of savory, sweet and spicy is great. It medium-hot, you defffff feel it but its not over the top. I really enjoyed. - They do weekly specials and they are always SO CREATIVE. I'm a sucker for potatoes and their take on a loaded baked potato was to die for. Bring that back every now and then, guys. Follow them on Instagram to hear the weekly specials! -You can make any of their pizzas sans lactose with a surcharge for vegan cheese, how nice! SALAD: We were looking for something else to add to our order and the server recommended the Fearless Flyer salad which is a kale-based take on the caesar. I would probably pass on this in the future. It was very lightly dressed, which I appreciate, but with the type of kale they used (blue curled, I think), its the kind that needs some marinade time to infuse and soften up. "This is rabbit food" was my thought as I ate it haha. But I DO love me some healthy veggies and I still ate it all. We asked for another side of the dressing. It was just a lil "green" and tough, is all. DRINKS: Good selection of beer. I went with The Pupil as I always do when its on the menu :) PARKING: its PB, plan for it. This area of Garnet is not too bad for street parking, though. Congrats on the opening, team! Love everything about it and we will be regulars.

    I love the pizza cassette location at the Garten and was so psyched to see they were adding a new brick and mortar spot in my neighborhood in pb! The food is just as amazing - with new menu items! The arancini is a must get. Our service was top notch and everyone was so friendly and welcoming - they even brought us side ranch for our pizza. Definitely a staple spot in pb.

    PB is seriously lacking in solid & consistent restaurants so I was stoked to try this place out! This pizza did not disappoint and it was awesome to know that most ingredients are made in house. The vibe inside is really cool, would be a great spot to take anyone visiting from out of town. Service was awesome and pizza was solid. I'd definitely return!

    Pizza Cassette has quickly become one of our favorites. We were big fans back when it was a pop-up, loved seeing it become a go-to spot at The Gärten, and now we're so excited to have this new location right by us. The space is warm, inviting, and dog friendly, which is always a huge plus. We also love that they have high-top window seating, perfect for awesome people watching on Garnet. Our server Riley was top notch from start to finish, super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better! And of course, the Rocky Top sandwich was out of this world, as usual. It's huge so easily shared between two. They also have a great beverage selection, so it's a great spot to settle in, hang out, and enjoy. So happy to have Pizza Cassette in the neighborhood. We'll definitely be back!

    Hands down the best pizza I have had in San Diego and easily in my top 10 nationwide! First off, super cool people, they care about the customer! Great vibe and ambiance. As for the amazing pizza, to me its a Neapolitan Wood Fired Pizza with a New York / New Haven accent. I absolutely loved it and will be coming back! A must, especially if you appreciate carefully crafted Artisan pizza with top quality ingrediants. Thank you Omar!

    I tried hard to devour this thing called Queen. So hot and good.

Unfortunately, the service was pretty rough. My husband ordered a gluten-free pizza, and after we had been waiting quite a while, we asked if it was ready. We then watched the employee ask the cook about it, and it was pretty obvious from his reaction that he had forgotten it in the oven. He rushed to pull it out, and we could smell that it was burnt from where we were standing. They boxed it up and gave it to us without acknowledging what happened or offering to remake it. There were also several smaller mistakes. We had said our order was to go, but my individual slices were served on a paper plate, and when I reminded them, they just put another plate on top and bagged it. I also ordered a side of marinara that was forgotten completely. When we asked for extra plates, the response felt almost annoyed, like we were inconveniencing them. The staff was helpful enough, but the overall attitude felt abrupt and a little unfriendly. It's unfortunate because my pizza was actually really good, and the prices were great. I could see myself liking the food here, but the service and burnt gluten-free pizza made the overall experience disappointing. :::

It was a Friday evening and every restaurant on the street was full and vibrant. You could Yelp these places all day long and it would be hard to choose.

There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot. Our waiter was so personable and had all the answers to our inquiries. He suggested items and even answered honestly when needed. I got a Le Pécora Nera Sangria (fizzy blackberry with lemon). Tasty, but too many blackberry seeds coming up the straw. I'd get another one next time. For the appetizers: RISOTTO ARANCINI (a MUST get) - these were absolutely delicious. Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant.
