When we first walked in, I'll be honest--my expectations were pretty low. The place sits right in the middle of the chaos, surrounded by drunk kids who can be loud, rude, and completely lacking in manners. But once the pizza arrived, everything changed. It was absolutely amazing. I loved it. The quality, flavor, and execution were outstanding. Hands down, this is the best pizza we've had in San Diego--and we've tried quite a few places. read more

GREAT HANGOUT SPOT & FRIENDLY SERVICE! Stopped by during SDCC and it was a perfect spot for grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the trolley on my way home. I got two slices of pizza and a water, the prices weren't too high and the food came out quickly! There's a full bar and authentic Italian vibe to the place. I appreciated the efficiency of the girl running the counter, taking orders, and serving drinks. My only issue was the restroom, it was very dirty and unkept. Pizza on 5th is in the heart of downtown SD and is not too far from the hotels and clubs in the area. read more

If you're out late, enjoying a night downtown and are looking for a place to keep the drinks coming and get your greasy grub on to coat your stomach so the drinks can keep flowing, this is your place. The people who work here are always on point - they are friendly and chill and handle the crowds like a champ. Place was packed as the night wore on and the service never disappointed. When the drinks hit, this place slaps. read more

We went a second time and were terribly disappointed. I don't know that I would have generally reviewed and changed my rating so quickly, but the pizza was SO different this time that I felt it necessary. It wasn't cooked long enough, it was one step above doughy. We were iffy on making this 'our' spot and I think that the most recent visit made the decision for us. It's a bit further from the house and the pizza just isn't that good. It wasn't 'prime' food ordering time and they didn't have as much staff as they had when we picked up our last one, but that shouldn't be an excuse for the pizza. The gal that rung us up was polite. Thanks, again for reading my review. read more

If you want a break from the bar food, this is the place to go! Their pasta is unforgettable and their phillies are to die for! Their great beer selection will have you here until last call. Sabine and Eddie will make sure you get everything you want! read more

Reheated pizza that came out burnt around the crust. The beer lines may have never been cleaned. I could taste the mildew. 2 slices and 2 beers for $36?! Never again read more

came in for a slice and beer white watching the game and my server Eva was amazing! would definitely come back

Advertised a $6 beer happy hour special. When I ordered she said the beer I got was $7. I got the bill and they added another .50 cent service change and tax The $6 beer i stopped in for ended up costing me $9 with tip. Avoid this sham of a place. read more

Do not order pasta. The pasta is very soupy watery. I had order a the fettuccine shrimp pasta. They need to change that to Fettuccine Shrimp Soup and not pasta. I will not be coming back. And plus I didnt know pasta could be this color. It taste like raviolis. Every time I try to pick some pasta up, the juice splashes everywhere, on my shirt, pants and the table. read more

Cannot speak for dining in or their pizza but DO NOT recommend picking up lunch to-go or the chicken parm. Straight thievery to charge damn near $30 for this garbage. Looks like my 12 year old made it except it tasted like my dog did. They keep the doors wide open & no AC inside so it was WARM & MUGGY to say the least. Don't think I could trust anything else on their menu which sucks because I work so close. Oh, & apparently there's only 1 register so I spent my entire break waiting for the cashier to ring up 1 person using 50 gift cards. Dine at your own risk. read more

This pizza was so soggy it collapsed under its own weight. Undercooked dough, wet crust, and zero structure. Completely unappetizing and a waste of money. I couldn't even finish a slice. Service was fine read more

I came here last time with some friends and I wished I could've taken photos but it was alright from the environment to the food. Really good location though and a lot of potential customers but was ok. The service though was good. One of my friends ordered pizza and wings and you can definitely tell that the pizza was reheated. The wings also looked alright. My other friend got a burger but also wasn't as good. I ended up getting a pasta for myself and surprisingly it was actually really good. I did like how the happy hour was for a long time and we were able to take advantage of the drinks but overall it was a 3/10. read more

Enjoyed the pizza (Margherita) and attentive service by Ana and very good, friendly service by Tubga but the cook and an off duty server (with blonde hair) were messing around, swearing up a storm, f--- this, f--- that. Their voices were very loud. Not a pleasant experience at all. After they left the serving area, I was able to relax and enjoy the evening again. Also, paper packets of Parmesan? Seems odd in a pizzeria. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon. Not busy until we had to paid our tab. Pizza was good, and sides came out fresh and hot. Wings were good as well. Alonso was our server and was cool. The environment of the place was comfy I guess read more

HORRIBLE just simply horrific!! I attended this establishment with my fiancé and family last night, and have never been treated with such disrespect and inconsiderate customer service from someone who was simply trying to take my order. When I told the EXTREMELY RUDE Lady taking orders as a cashier. she was not only being rude by not even standing front of me, she simply rolled her eyes in my face when I told her that she needed to calm down and check her attitude. She is a horrible human, and rude to all people who are just trying to pick up a slice of pizza after dancing in Downtown. ON TOP OF THIS, she the proceeded to burn mine & fiancé's pizza into this black cheese pizza (reminded it's supposed to be white) AND PAID US PAY FOR THE BURNT ONES plus fresh ones. So essentially, paid for four slices but only received two. DO NOT waste your time here, just go to the taco shop or Jack in the Box. just want to clarify that it IS a lady, medium skin tone, skinny, approx. 5'3-5'6 in height. Works at night around 1:30-2:00am. read more

Glad we just dropped by (instead of viewing reviews first)... service was good and glad they had a high chair available. Definitely enjoyed a slice of New York style pizza with the thin crust. Also had Alfredo pasta with chicken which was creamy and cheesy and a hit with the toddler read more

They charge for water. They overcharged us for beer by two dollars each. The service was fine I guess. The food was clearly frozen before they heated it up for us. Ithe pizza was okay. Won't be going back, not remotely worth the price. Hostess was nice though. read more

The individual pizza is a total dough bomb. It was allllllllll thick raw-ish dough. Nothing like the rest of their pizzas. 100% flavorless. Just tasted like raw dough. I regret wasting the money. Won't be back read more

Our server Sabine was amazing! Very friendly and attentive, food was delicious, would definitely come back again !

Alonzo is such a great server he made my night with his funny self and making us feel comfortable. 5 stars all around.

Had a quick pitstop here for some slices before a comedy show at the theatre. I love places that do quick slices of pizza and this pizza was decent but it's wasnt heated up much. Could've just been the person who did it. It's expensive for each slice but I guess the location is prime rent for them. Service itself was good. Wouldn't mind another quick bite here if I'm in a similar situation but wouldnt come here specifically. read more

Don't fall prey to the cheap shots! The shots come on very small plastic cups! The food is served in paper plates. The cocktails are terrible! And to make matters worse I ordered a pizza and wasn't told that every single item was and extra $3.50 charge on top of the $23 price, my pizza ended up being $44 dollars when I was billed! I will never go back to this place! read more

Always stop by to get a slice or the chicken Parm. People who serve me are always very kind and pleasant. ALONZO stands out always ready to refill right when I need too and knows exactly when I need another slice of pizza. The dude on the grill is always on his a game as well. Cheers to you Pizza on 5th and thanks again Alonzo! read more

Great service and pasta. One of my favorite spots when I need a quick bite to eat. Servers are laid back and friendly.

I came here on the gaslamp food crawl and heard about their drunken lines at night. The owners are pretty nice and relaxed but this place can defintely use a good scrubbin'. If you like pizza grease coated furniture, this is the right place for you. As far as the food goes, their pesto pizza was as salty as the sea but their cheese and pepperoni are good. They make thin crust style pizza if you have a preference. I think I may come back in a drunken haze but not if I am sober. read more

Great pizza great service from Anna. Will always come back ambiance is perfect. I love the pizza love the service. Yelp needed 85 characters

After a night out bar hopping downtown, this is my go to spot for food when I'm hungry. There is usually a line after 11pm but the line goes by quick. I end up always waiting around 5 minutes for them to heat up my pizza. I got the supreme and Buffalo chicken slice. The pizza has a thin crust and they're not stingy with their toppings. They also serve alcohol. But looking forward to trying other items than pizza on their menu. There is both seating indoor and outdoor. read more

Tried ordering a pizza @2:30-3:00am, became so difficult to just get a transaction through. On the 5th time, ironically, once my gf stepped in to try a 5th card number it finally went through. We were told the pizza would arrive in 10mins when we are 5mins away, no problem after about 45mins-1 hour. Honestly my group of 5 wasn't even wanting pizza anymore. We called more than just a few times just to be told they were "on the way". Did hear back from the till about 4:30am. For SD having such a night life you'd expect these guys to be on point, unfortunately they're far from it. read more

Service is horrible and the food is not worth the wait. They also charge for water. If you can wait drive to somewhere else

Me and my family came here out first night out of vacation and we were a little excited to try it out but sadly the food wasn't as appetizing as it looked from the menu, especially for the price we paid. The buffalo wings were over cooked and the only thing that made them somewhat edible was the buffalo sauce its self and the ranch was watery and had no flavor. My mother in laws opinion of the pizza was "no" the dough was as only flavorful at the crust . My brother in law ordered the chicken parm which was just a chicken tender with cheese on top with pasta with canned tomato sauce. The only thing that was okay was the service. Overall just go somewhere else for pizza.. read more
