Javier made our night! From the moment we walked in, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His kindness and genuine hospitality stood out and made our experience one to remember. The pizza was phenomenal, the pool table made for a fun date night, and the atmosphere was great. If you're stopping by Pizza on Pearl, we highly recommend asking for Javier. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back! read more

Wasn't even enjoyable during a night of light drinking with friends. Everywhere was dirty despite there only being 2 other customers present outside of our group. Lots of burned bits on the pizza and the stuffed knots, which were also dry. Overall, mediocre flavor for both and nothing memorable or noteworthy. Only good thing about coming here was that there was a pool table, which was fun to do while eating. read more

There's a solid variety of slices to choose from, and the pizza is pretty good, especially considering it's reheated. It does get packed pretty fast, though. The last two times I went (a Wednesday night and a Saturday afternoon), there was only one person taking orders and heating up the pizza, so the wait was longer than expected. They could definitely use a little more help during busy times. Other than that, I really like this place. The vibe is fun and laid-back, with a cool color scheme, a pool table, and beach chairs out front that make it a great spot to people-watch. The open layout keeps plenty of fresh air flowing, which makes it a comfortable place to hang out. I'd definitely come back for another slice. read more

Came in for 1 slice. Ordered 3 more. This was before I had a few more beers and wish I bought a whole damn pizza. If you need more convincing, they accidentally gave us the wrong pizza and comped us the extra slice. Seeing some 3 star reviews here so I'll caveat this by giving more contest on my own personal pizza preferences and believe this is in my top 5 alongside Sister's pizza and Bronx to name a few. read more

Pizza On Pearl - North Park - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

I really wanted to love Pizza on Pearl because I remember going to their original La Jolla location years ago and thinking it was so good. Since I don't make it out to La Jolla very often anymore, I was excited to hear they opened a North Park location. The inside is really nice. It has a nice theme going on, spacious, and even has a pool table, which I wasn't expecting. It feels like a fun place to hang out with friends over pizza. They also have a variety of slices on display, so it's easy to grab something if you don't want to order a whole pie. We decided to try the AB7, which comes with pepperoni, ricotta, basil, and hot honey, along with the Verde, which has spinach, ricotta, and garlic. Ricotta is one of my favorite pizza toppings, so both of these immediately caught my attention. Service was probably the weakest part of the visit. It looked like there was only one person working the front, so I completely understood why things were moving slowly. We waited a while just to place our order. Then when our slices came out, they were served on paper plates even though we had already said our order was to go. We ended up waiting another few minutes just to get a pizza box before leaving. Unfortunately, the pizza itself just didn't live up to my expectations. The Verde was the better of the two. The ricotta added a nice creaminess and the spinach was fresh, but I honestly didn't taste much garlic. It felt more like a spinach and ricotta pizza than anything else. The AB7 was the bigger disappointment. On paper it has everything I love on a pizza. Pepperoni, ricotta, basil, and hot honey sounds like the perfect combination. For some reason though, there was a strange burnt plastic flavor that kept coming through. I couldn't figure out exactly what it was, but it made the slice hard to enjoy. I left pretty disappointed. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but this wasn't the Pizza on Pearl that I remembered from La Jolla. The space is beautiful and I still think there's a lot of potential here. I just hope the quality becomes more consistent because I'd really love to have a great neighborhood pizza spot in North Park. read more

We tried Pizza on Pearl for the first time. We ordered takeout to end our night and overall it was pretty good. We ordered a large pepperoni and jalapeño pizza along with an order of garlic cheese knots. The pizza had a thin crust but it wasn't crunchy. It was cooked well and tasty. The combination of pepperoni and jalapeños was a great choice. We also had them put a little of the hot honey on our pizza. The place itself was really clean and the staff were friendly while we waited for our order. The only disappointing part was that we paid for the stuffed cheese knots but received regular knots without any cheese in them. I was really looking forward to those, so that was a bit of a letdown. Still, the pizza itself was good and we'd be willing to give them another try. read more

Walked into this place before a gig and was definitely feeling it at first. Empty is my vibe when I'm hungry, sometimes I'm in a rush and don't consider why it's empty. I grabbed a slice of North Park and Pepperoni.. Not gonna lie... looking at the slices in the display case.... They looked old. They looked like they needed help. I almost walked out but was starving and was in a time limit. I saw them load a fresh pizza on top of old slices... kinda strange. They took each slice to the back and warmed them up. When I sat and had a bite from each, you could definitely tell they were old. Extremely crunchy and the pan crust was really dry. The North park was okay... super dry and bready. The pepperoni was extremely greasy and was stiff. If you tried to bend it, the crust broke. So that sucked. I understand it's thin crust but it shouldn't break apart into puzzle pieces stuck to cheese. Idk. I probably would just have rather ordered a chain pizza rather than stale reheated pizza. Now I know why it was empty. $5 a slice is kind of wild for old stale pizza. read more

Pizza on Pearl opened its second branch about a month ago near a busy intersection of North Park where a longtime vegetarian eatery had operated. The last couple of times I was at this address, a short-lived Asian restaurant and a separate collective had each tried to do business here. Parking was not easy in this part of the neighborhood even with a nearby multi-level structure that was inaccessible during my visit because of the weekly farmer's market. I liked how the new owners opened up the suite to make it feel more spacious. They even added a pool table in the middle of the dining area which looked nice, but I think additional seating would have been more beneficial. Close to 20 different items were on display in glass cases at the service counter. A large menu board hung above the counter. It was shocking to seen entire red or white pies cost over $30 each. I understand the cost of goods plus labor have both dramatically increased, but still. I imagine that pizza by the slice was the most popular choices as there were several variations at different price points. I picked two slices and a soda (lemonade) for my order. The two pizza types were Hawaiian and North Park. The first was simply ham and pineapple which I have no problem with the latter being a topping. The second was part of a white pie that contained garlic paste. Pepperoni cups, vodka sauce, pesto sauce, and pizza sauce were the other ingredients. Both slices were triangular in shape with a crunchy thin crust. The layering of the North Park made it look prettier in presentation. It was decent pizza, but I wasn't particularly blown away by either of my two varieties. For the price and quality of the pizza, I gave Pizza on Pearl a rating between three and four stars. read more

We have seen this location swap out of businesses many times in the past several years and so when we saw that a pizza shop was coming, I got really excited. Firstly, they gutted the front of the store and made it way more inviting with their open doors and seating area. They even have a pool table inside! We ordered our food and they brought it out to us. We sat on the 'patio' area where they have lawn chairs overlooking 30th street which is awesome. Slices are $5. We got the BCR (Bacon Chicken Ranch), Pesto Pepperoni, Cheese, AB7 (Pepperoni, Basil, Hot Honey, Ricotta) and the North Park (which was a thicker slice) which had pepperoni, pesto, marinara, and I believe vodka sauce. Each had a perfect crisp to them and I enjoyed every single slice. Most of their slices are of the thin variety with the exception of the North Park. The crust was more crunchy and reminded me of breadsticks which was really good too. Plus the garlic knot was delicious. All in all, Pizza on Pearl is a great addition to North Park! read more

I just had lunch at Pizza on Pearl's new North Park location. They had just opened and I ordered a slice of the Wally and the Margarita. The Wally came with a pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni cups, and drizzled with hot honey. The slice had good flavor, but the crust was bland and did not offer much texture, especially in the chew department. I was one dimensional or just crunchy. I was a little confused with the Margarita, especially since they put feta cheese on top, not the fresh (wet) mozzarella cheese or true fresh mozzarella cheese. The slice offered a decent garlic flavor and sliced tomatoes, but the feta cheese was very bland and had a dry clunky texture. In other words, it did not melt properly. This slice also suffered from the uneventful crust. I definitely have had better pizza than this, but the service provided by "Carina" was quite good. She was very welcoming, offered good conversation, and was overall very friendly. The pizza was a two star event for me, but the service pushed my rating one more star to be fair. read more

This place looks like a perfect place for ending your night bar hopping. It's an open space perfect for people watching. It just soft opened and has a pool table on the middle. I had the Hawaiian pizza and stuffed garlic knot and it was tasty. Staff were extremely friendly and kind. Pizza was delicious! I think the original location is in La Jolla, but this is my first time here. I would definitely come again for a quick affordable pizza slice. Note: there are some steps/part of the ground that are uneven and I tripped (thankfully did not hurt myself). The manager or owner was measuring so I'm sure it will be fixed - they should add a cone or sign. read more

This is the ultimate spot if you're just looking for a decent priced slice and a good beer Javier was awesome, taking us through each slice and what it was embedded with We'll be back again & again! Highly recommend fam read more

I do love walkable pizza and now we have another spot in north park to frequent! The spot is cute with a pool table and outdoor seating to people watch on 30th. I had a cheese slice, pepperoni/hot honey/ricotta slice, and a garlic knot. The crust and base was crispy which isn't typical when it comes to pizza, but I really enjoyed it. It was a crunch I didn't know I needed in a slice of pizza. The garlic knot though! That was delightful. Will be ordering one each time I'm there. Everyone was friendly and we will for sure be back regularly. read more

First night open! Extremely friendly staff - just a little light with the crowd - means more pizza for me!! Very thin crust - and I'm going to assume this restaurant is related to Pizza on Pearl in La Jolla. My only complaint was my Buffalo Chicken was just drenched in sauce - the sauce was great - just too much. BCR and is also a winner - and next time I'm going for the garlic knots. Cute interior with a pool table and outside seating with lawn chairs! read more

Staff standing and posing making sure not to look at the customers at the counter wanting to order. The place is divided by a waist level wrought iron fence. For no apparent reason. Seating is creaky polyester beach chairs that my Aunt must have donated, forgetting she was on her way to AmVets. I want to say I've good thing - but I can't . If it cheap (in the good sense? I'd jump for joy. No joy yet. read more

10/10!!! The owner was so so nice and giving he was super helpful, offering us napkins more ranch etc. We went on a Monday evening and it wasnt too crowded, pretty chill spot to hangout with friends. Food was great and not too expensive, i forgot to take a picture of the garlic knots but it was so yummy a must try. I ordered the pizza of the month, they are very generous with their ranch which i loooove!!! Pizza was nice and warm. Not too greasy, not too salty, nice balance read more

I've been in a couple times; I think their pizza is great and edges out Little Sister by a teeny bit. I -LOVE- that all slices are the same price, and toppings seem generous and high quality. I also love the lawn chair type seating for people watching. I did not enjoy the server taking multiple vape breaks (light/reddish hair) right beside our table (6/14, evening). I noticed he went back in to help others, without hand washing, plus just kind of generally gross to have vaping going on right beside us, as we ate. read more

I really wanted to enjoy this place but the service was off. Felt so rushed to order and there wasn't a line so I'm not sure why the cashier was in such a hurry it made us uncomfortable. I ordered the pizza of the month and the CBR. They added so much ranch to each slice I thought it had to be a joke. They were also bumping the most intense EDM. Not the there's anything wrong with EDM, but it was insanely loud and felt so out of place for a pizza joint that's trying to have "neighborhood" retro vibes. Overall the pizza itself was good. I wish the service was better the night we went. read more

pizza is good but inconsistent. I went there the first time and it was great, the second time not so much. I got the same exact order too and one slice was way too overdone. also, both times I've been there they have been blasting mexican music and it's really unpleasant. I just don't think it's the place for that at all. and I'm not being racist or anything I'm Mexican and listen to that music too but at a nice pizza place off 30th that is not the vibe. i probably won't be returning unless it's 1am and will continue going to little sisters down the street. also, the guy who works there isn't very friendly. I don't know if they have no one else to work there but 0 customer service skills at all. i felt like I was bothering him every time I needed something. read more

Currently checking this place out for the first time--won't be back. Slowest service I've ever received in North Park and it's not particularly busy. Smallest slice I've ever received from a pizza joint. Slice itself (of buffalo) was a mess and was reheated for far too long. read more
