I first went to this pizza spot during my undergrad years at UCSD in 2023 and have not ordered pizza from any other place since. Whether I'm looking for a quick bite or planning for a big event, Regents is always my go to. They have a nice variety of foods ranging from pastas, burgers, and of course their specialty Chicago and New York style pizzas. All of which have been amazing. My personal favorite has to be their Brooklyner New York pizza with hot honey, but you really can't go wrong with any of their options. This place can get pretty busy during dinner, but for good reason. The environment feels comfortable and is also a nice place to grab a drink and watch whatever sport is in season. Everyone that I have interacted with at this place has been nothing but welcoming. The employees are very attentive to their customers and are happy to help in any way they can. I really can't say enough good things about this place. I love Regents! read more

The pizza was sooo delish! Came out hot and fresh. There were 13 of us, so we went around 2:00 after their rush hour on a Friday. Parking is beastly. Be patient. It's worth the parking debacle. read more

Tasty food, busy place. Parking lot can get crazy, they will validate parking if you are going to be there more than the min for free. We lucked out and there wasn't a line to place an order until ten minutes after we did and the place was swamped. We've been here several times and know how to order but it is confusing at first and a bit chaotic at the counter/where to stand/servers scrambling around the same area/pick up drivers looking confused but the chaos is with it as the pizza is awesome. Placed ordered for our table which needed up being five deep dish slices and fountain drinks. Tip - Pounce on a table quickly when u arrive and have someone else order as this place gets bonkers. Took about 15 minutes for our slices to come out. All were hot and tasty. I was the odd ball and got the Popeye, the rest were the meat combo. Everyone enjoyed. If u need a to go container - go back by the line area and ask one of the servers as they are sitting near the food window by the kitchen. read more

Definitely a favorite pizza place. Whenever I visit my best friend in San Diego, I mention going back to Regents. Of course, we finally did after a few years of hiatus. Regents is located right across from UTC shopping and has its own parking lot. If you get it validated, the first hour is free. But of course, when hanging out at Regents, you'll spend a few hours here. They have an extensive beer menu and a pizza slice menu. Instead of ordering both separately, I like to get their combos: I ordered their Combo that has two pizza slices and a beer of my choice. It's not bad! I chose a classic pepperoni and a white sauce pizza to go along with my Hazy IPA. After ordering, they give you a number, and you can choose any open seats from inside and out. The utensils are napkins are a must. These pizza slices are HUGE! Bigger than my hand and definitely bigger than my beer glass. Coming out fresh and hot, these pizzas are delicious and go down well with a beer. The interior is bustling with people (and flies because it gets hot). The servers are back and forth but always doing so with a smile. With the prices and food, nothing beats Regents. I love it here! read more

Ordered takeout from here for dinner. Lots of people inside eating, and a lot of college kids. I got a few slices instead of a whole pie since it was just for me. The slices are massive! 1 or 2 is definitely enough for one person. The NY slices were really good. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the MooShroom pizza since it was a white pizza. The garlic really shines through in it and the fried onion topping really adds something special. On the Brooklyner slice, they left it in the oven a bit longer so it was a bit hard. Overall though, really good crust without excessive flop. I got one slice of the Popeyes deep dish to try it out. Really solid construction, you definitely don't need a knife and fork to eat this one. Flavor was about average, perhaps a different pizza would've been better. Crust is really thick at the end of the pizza, but has good texture. I'd recommend this place to a friend. Service was really quick and friendly despite the restaurant being packed at dinner time. read more

My school got us Regents Pizza and had really hyped it up. Unfortunately, it didn't really meet that hype for me. I felt like the meat pizza was a bit dry and salty. I did however like the veggie pizza, it was flavorful and not dry. I would maybe try a pizza with meat and veggies next. The service though, was great and convenient! Maybe next time I'll try to go in person and get a second look before any more opinions lol read more

Food: i tried both the chicago style pizza and new york style pizzas here and they lived up to their expectations. this is now my favorite pizza spot in san diego so far. it was my first time trying new york style pizzas too! they're crispy but lightweight and flavorful. the chicago pizza on the other hand was huge, layered, and stacked. most of the toppings lay inside the pizza. think of it like a pie! the crust of the pizza was also so good. Pepperoni (NY style) (10/10) - basic choice but very solid! White (NY style) (9.5/10) - really good and different types of cheeses. i liked the spinach and the ricotta cheese really stood out to me. Brooklyner (NY style) (10/10) - has sausage AND pepperoni. really tasty and nice if you like lots of meat Popeye (Chicago style) (10/10) - HUGE and loaded i loved the taste though. there's so many layers of flavor and the crust was nicely made as well Service: They're super helpful and efficient for this popular spot! Ambiance/ It has a very casual and bustling atmosphere type of vibe. It's super chill and nice to sit and grub on some pizza. read more

One of the better tasting pizza restaurants in the area. The restaurant is pretty spacious with the main dining area as well as a large side dining area. You order at the counter and are given a number to take to your table. Everything else is pretty self serve, including drinks and utensils. We ordered by the slice which is nice as everyone got to choose the pizza they wanted. We ordered the pepperoni, cheese, NY white, NY Dominque pizzas, Caesar salad, truffle fries and pomodoro spaghetti. For desert we had the tiramisu and zeppole. The pizzas and truffle fries were good. Would come back for these again. The only thing we were pretty disappointed about was the zeppole. They didn't really taste like anything. The staff were nice, food came out fairly quickly. However I wish they would have helped us clear some of our dishes to make room for our deserts. We ended up doing it ourselves to another empty table just to make room. Maybe they don't take dishes away unless you leave? read more

Parking lot is small and is paid, but the restaurant validates. The ordering area can get packed and seating can be filled on busy days. We ordered the NY style pizza with one half customized (jalepenos and pepperoni) and the other half the Brooklyner. The crust was thin and crispy which I loved. My fav part of the Brooklyner was the whipped ricotta. The drinks were good as well, as we ordered the Berry Trio cider which was sweet and easy to drink. Overall would come back! read more

Popular pizza spot amongst college students with it being right next to UCSD. Typically get the Chicago style deep dish when I'm here because I prefer a more doughy pizza. I also got the New York style today and wasn't a big fan of the crust, there was not really any flavor to it. In addition to that, not a fan of the flop, the pizza doesn't hold up well. The crisp and crunch was there, but that's about it. The deep dish on the other hand has great taste and a nice texture to it. read more

Didn't have the best experience here. Seats had sticky residue from spilt soda, staff were asked to reheat an item and ended up dropping it after reheating it and then proceeded to forget about the order entirely. Caesar salad wasn't tossed well. Service wasn't impressive, but the pasta was very good and the pizza was decent. Overall ambiance was nice and chill. Didn't have a great first experience, but could be better another time. read more

The blonde guy that served me was very nice and helped me figure out what to choose! The inside looks great, bar vibes and outdoor seating as well, normally super busy but today was chill with graduation, a lot of ppl went out for lunch but I wanted to come here. The cluck cluck pizza actually wasn't that good, I'm usually not a fan of chicken on pizza but it was like a savory not buffalo but similar, and the chicken was a little crispy and thin so i liked it more, but not as much as the other options. The salad was great, the ceasar comes with like big bread croutons and the sauce is like citrus zesty, great pairing I got a deep dish artichoke as well, it was reallly good, like top 3- the artichoke isn't too bitter and the cheese pairs really well read more

Jon Stewart calls deep dish pizza a casserole...and this pizza purist from NYC agrees...but every five years, I get a hankering for 'casserole'. My fiancé happened to be at Regents and brought home one of their half baked deep dish pizzas. I'll get to that in a second... Imagine telling your kids to set the table for dinner, we're having pizza...and then needing to explain why we need forks and knives... With that said... Regents has their half baked deep dish pizza to go packed down to a science. Reheating directions, packaging, marinara sauce on the side, etc...all of it. My fiancé wasn't kidding when he said 'the pie is heavy'. We weighed it...it weighed in at right around 6 pounds. The pie was massive and satisfied my every 5 year craving. Cheesy, flavorful sauce, thick dough. It's exactly how a casserole should be. I can't wait to go back and try their New York thin crust pizza...you know, real pizza. 5 stars! read more

It has been years since I have been back because I no longer live or work in the area. They have moved into a new, bigger, more hip place. It was packed on a Tuesday evening. I love how they have both Deep Dish and NY style, and you can get a full pizza or slices. You order at the front and they bring your food out. Great beer options as well. Now, the pizza, Deep Dish pepperoni was amazing! The flavors, tons of cheese and perfect end crust definitely rivals deep dish from Chicago. It is quite doughy, so be prepared. The end crust can be a whole meal in and of itself. For Deep Dish, this place is hard to beat in SD. Also, the Tiramisu got many raves from my group. And my son loved the NY style. The pasta looked yummy as well! read more

So, a review of Regents Pizzeria is sorely overdue. I was 1st introduced to Regents years ago as part of a cliche of the modern corporate workplace. You know, that onerous practice of corporate overlords rewarding unpaid extra hours & weekend work with pizza rather than any truly tangible form of appreciation. Yeah, that. But, hey, at least it was Regents. Every time this stuff showed up in the break room, which was more often than reasonable, I knew that, of all things, the pizza was going to be good. Regents is, in fact, my favorite Chicago style pizza in all of SD county. That's what I always get here. By the grace of my former employer, I've also had quite a bit of their NY style pizza & I like that a lot too. Not too long ago, I came here for their release of Russian River Pliny the Younger. In the craft beer world, it's a big deal & draws a crowd. Yes. Regents is an outstanding beer destination too. For a turnout that packed the house, service was friendly & efficient. To go with my unicorn beers, I got a couple slices of their Chicago style Meat Lovers. Simply, beer & pizza heaven The only drawback to coming to Regents is parking. Parking here is a small paid lot & other nearby parking is scarce. But Regents is a pizza & beer fave of mine that I always look forward to having. read more

Gotta pop my review up from 4 to 5 stars. I saw on the Regents Instagram that there would be a Russian River tap takeover today starting at 11AM. While many Russian River beers would be poured, the apple of my eye was the rare Pliny the Younger. I was not disappointed. I walked in the door at about 12:30PM and it was a mob scene. Fortunately, as I made a beeline to the bar, someone paid his check and left. I snagged that seat FAST. Super friendly bartender took my order right away and brought me my Pliny. Maybe the very best beer I've had in my life! IYKYK! Thank you Regents for hosting the Russian River tap takeover! p.s. STILL the best deep dish pizza in town! read more

Having been on our pizza list to try for some time, we finally got the chance. Located in La Jolla, there's a lot in front or a structure so parking should be good. They can get very busy so if you are in a hurry, definitely try calling in your order. There is a main seating area which requires you to order at the front counter, a bar area for food and drinks as well as outdoor patios. Alcohol is not allowed out front due to liquor licensing. Inside patio is fine for drinks and food. We ordered a Greek salad, buffalo wings and a whole pie with half and half. The bowl the salad came in was a little shallow for mixing in dressing and they didn't bring out sharing plates and we had to ask. The wings were good and had plenty of sauce. The pizza as well was tasty but I like the dough just a little more done. It was just a little soft. Definitely recommend the NY brooklyner. read more

This place gets crazy after 5pm. Order at the counter and take your number to a table, open seating. Can we hate to find a table for a large party. Their pizza by the slice is the way to go. The slices are huge and you can try more than one flavor if you any. Great deep dish options. Were ordered a whole pizza 18" for 2 people. Ended up taking half of it home. They have a lot of options. I found the Mother In Law to be a little soggy even though I asked for the hot honey on the side. Buffalo wings were solid, nice and crispy. Salad was good too. Overall great place for pizza, salad and wings. They also have pasta, sandwiches and different appetizers. Can get super busy at times. Paid parking lot. We validated but still paid. read more

This is such a solid pizza spot! They have both NY style and deep dish. The Chicago deep dish does take time to cook, so consider that. The pastas are good!

Love a good deep dish pizza. I've tried many around town, Chicago Bros, Lefty's and Rosati's to name a few. Wanting to try something new, we decided to do a pick up order from Regents Pizzeria. Gotta say, ordering online was a breeze and the pizza was ready exactly when they said it was. Regents even texts you when it's time to pick up. Big thumbs up! The place was absolutely packed on a Friday evening. So if you're going to eat in, just note that there might be a wait. Good vibes overall. We live about 10 miles away. Even with that much distance our haul was nice and hot when we got it home! We ordered a slice of their monthly special, Salvatore Tessio. Way too many ingredients to list out, lots of meat, cheese and tomatoes, no sauce. In hand I swear it weighs a pound, very girthy. First bite, wow, that's good! Speaking of girthy pizza, we also ordered a 14" Deep Dish, their Windy City Mozzarella Classic. So; much; cheese, in the best possible way! Additionally we topped our pizza with sausage, bell peppers, onions and cupping pepperoni. Like the earlier slice, this pizza was seriously heavy. After a few bites I had to stop, was so good but was also just a lot. Gut bomb! There were some chicken wings involved as well. Slathered in buffalo sauce and accompanied by their delicious chunky blue cheese, these flappers were succulent and tender. A must. Next time I think I'd go with either a top down (no second crust) or a NY style mainly because there was just a little too much crust for me. All in, a great pizzeria! read more

Regents is basically my friends' and I's neighborhood haunt. Living in UTC, Regents is pretty much the go-to place to grab a drink and food and hang out for a bit. The staff is friendly and they all seem to know people and get along which helps with the neighborhood spot vibe. The food never misses--the pizza is what it's known for, but honestly I haven't had anything there that has disappointed me. I also love having the buffalo chicken tender fries, especially when there's a good flavor of the month (they let you use any sauce!). The rotating flavors and taps also adds a fun reason to always keep coming back to Regents. There's always a good selection on tap, with a great range from ciders, sours, stouts, IPAs, ales, you name it. It's fun to try all the different ones since they're always rotating. The monthly flavor pizzas are also creative and I enjoy getting to try them every month. My favorite classic flavors are the Dominic's for the NY style pizza and the Meat lovers for the Chicago style. read more

Recently visited SD and so glad that this place still tastes exactly the same since over 10+ years ago!! This was the first place I've tried deep dish pizza and honestly, I've never eaten anything else that comes close to how good and satisfying it is from here. I was so happy to see them PACKED on a random Thursday night. Got a slice of deep dish with some additions. It was soooo satisfying. Love that you can get a little container of sauce to dip the thick crust in, too! They have NY style as well but I've never tried anything other than their signature deep dish. Not many drink options besides beer. Back in the day, ordering a whole pie meant food for days. Each slice is so thick and good. I'm ALWAYS looking forward to coming here when I'm in the area, which is not often at all... but this pizza always has me wanting to come back asap. I wish they had an LA location! read more

By West Coast standards, this is a great spot to get Chicago deep dish pizza. I like how they sell so many pizzas by the slice, including multiple deep dish options. Their combos are also a plus, as you can choose two slices from the 10 or so options in the case plus soda or beer Or one slice + any salad + drink of choice. They have many beers on tap, and a large dining layout with indoor and outdoor options. I got the Popeye deep dish slice, which as a former Chicago resident, I can say is a good rendition of classic deep dish featuring a delicious tomato sauce, spinach layer, plenty of cheese and a surprise artichoke layer. Importantly, the deep dish crust itself is well seasoned and has the proper crisp exterior with softer interior layer. Will return to satisfy my once in a blue moon deep dish cravings. read more

I randomly remembered about Regents Pizzeria recently and was so glad I did! We came by for a late lunch and picked up a couple slices to share. I got the white pie slice (which has been my favorite). I forgot how huge the slices here are and got stuffed after the first one.

Definitely check this spot out if you're in the area because they have so many great options to choose from! The service is always friendly and there's indoor and outdoor seating! read more

I had been here two years ago with my girlfriend and we came back here today to share a pizza and salad. It was quite crowded and noisy at 12:30, but we were fortunate to find a table on the patio in the very back away from all the noise We placed our order for a slice of white pizza and a fried chicken Caesar salad to share. In the past, I have had their deep dish pizza and I was a little bit disappointed with how thin the regular pizza slice was, but it was tasty enough that I wasn't thoroughly disappointed. Next time I will have the deep dish Popeye pizza which I preferred. The large order of the fried chicken Caesar salad was delicious. The salad was crisp Romain with generous fresh Parmesan cheese all over it and the fried chicken piece was cut into six strips, so there was ample enough for the two of us to share. Lots of fresh lemon slices made it even better And we squeeze the fresh lemon juice all over the salad and the dressing came on the side into little containers and it was very good. All in all the salad tasted very fresh and it was a good choice for us today. Despite the crowd, our food came very quickly and we enjoyed the ambience there with the big lunch crowd and the TV on the sports channel. Our bill came to $27 for the two of us to share so it was a great deal for a wonderful satisfying lunch. I will be back! I forgot to mention that the parking is free with the first hour validation from the restaurant but anything after that is three dollars an hour so we ended up paying three dollars today. read more

Was in the neighborhood and craving some wings so I decided to drop into Regents and try theirs. Ended up ordering the Nashville hot wings and a Greek salad just to try and be a bit healthy. Will have to try the pizza another time but it looked NY style thin and crunchy. Grabbed a table, they have tons of seating inside, and the food was brought to me in a few minutes. The wings were yummy. Double fried likely and super crunchy on the outside. The wings were tossed in a spicy "Nashville" mix and was just the right level of heat. The Greek salad was a giant portion with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and onion and all around tasty. The store validates your parking for an hour as well in case you park in the strip mall's paid parking lot. read more

Regents Pizzeria - Meat Lovers Deep Dish - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Regents Pizzeria is a great spot if you're looking for a casual, order-at-the-counter kind of place with a relaxed vibe. There's plenty of patio-style seating as well as indoor tables, so it's easy to find a comfortable place to enjoy your meal. They also have a solid beer selection, which pairs nicely with the food. We tried a variety of items, and everything was on point. The pizza was excellent, the naked chicken sandwich was flavorful, and the garlic fries came out fresh fresh. Another hit where the mozzarella sticks, the panko crust made them that much tastier and crispy. The standout, though, was the Chicago deep dish pizza, it was absolutely incredible and honestly tasted like bliss. On top of the great food, the customer service was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

It's easy to go crazy with the pizza here since they have a nice selection/variety from white sauce to buffalo deep dish. Came on a Thursday night and this place was packed, though the parking lot still had many free spots open. Noise level is a bit overstimulating here with everyone chatting but hey at least everyone's having a good time. We ordered: NY biancaneve, NY pepperoni, Chicago deep dish meat lover and a lasagna bolognese. I loved the thin crust on the NY slices. Perfectly baked and had a great crunch. The deep dish was a bit doughy for me but it was my boyfriend's favorite of the night. The lasagna bolognese tasted very one dimensional, just like a tart tomato sauce. It wasn't a traditional bolognese that typically has a deeper more richer flavor. That said, I still enjoyed it, it just wasn't what I expected when we ordered it. Overall, a fun place to be especially with a group of friends. Grab a beer and enjoy a slice of pizza together! read more
