My wife and I have been eyeing this place for a while and one night we finally decided to go. We came in on a busy night but the server helped us out with the menu. We took his recommendation, one slice of the Meat Lovers Deep Dish, and a half/half pizza with the Brooklyner and the Mother in Law. This place has probably one of the best pies we've had in a while. We loved that the same server kept checking in on us to see how we liked the pizza, and just loved the overall vibe of the place. We ended up coming back a second time to try the Master Deep Dish (one of the same server's recommendations) and we loved it. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a good pizza in La Jolla! read more

Regents Pizzeria - Master Chicago Deep Dish - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

There's a reason this place is an institution--the pizza is good, but the vibes are fun. There are always people, ucsd crowds, and a good energy. Chicago-style deep dish or NY-style thin crust are both tasty! Lots of combos and to order. The wings were good too. I liked the lemon pepper better than the gochujang. The gochujang had a nice kick, but I expected it to be a little sweeter. I love that you can buy pizza by the slice, and you can even get a combo of 6 individual slices with a large salad and garlic knots--great idea! The fries were good too, almost garlicky like the ones at Gordon Biersch. I like this place and imma try the pasta next time. read more

The place has a great selection for thin slices and deep dish pizza. What's great about this spot is you don't have to order an entire pie but have a great selection of slices and beer on tap. Best of all they Have Pliny the Elder on tap, that's probably one of the best qualities for this place Their deep dish slices can sometimes feel/taste dry, since they're essentially re-heating the pizza it seems. Someday may have to try a fresh pizza to see if it's any better/different. Also, great to have a good deep dish and beer deal - though it is pricy Ambiance is quite mixed since it's so close to UCSD. OUtside of the summer months it's gonna be packed at your standard dinner times, but the move is to come during the summer months when campus is quieter and the resulting surrounding restaurants get quieter as well. The particular pain is to hunt/find a table. Will continue to hunt for the best deep dish pizza in the SD area read more

This is 3.6 stars rating. The place was packed on Friday night. I'm a huge fan of deep dish pizza and was looking forward to a great pie. It took a 40-45 minutes to get our order. When our order came, it was massive. I was excited to dive right in but sadly it didn't live up to actual Chicago deep dish pizzas that I had in Chicago. It was way too doughy. It was mostly bread and there was a layer of bread within the pizza. The meat to bread ratio was way off. It was cheesy though. Maybe their New York pizza is good but I probably won't be having their Chicago style pizza. The ambiance was nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Just an fyi, it's in a paid parking center so you would have to know how long you're staying. read more

Rather than fight the traffic to get home, we decided to stop and have dinner. Thanks to Yelp we found this location. It's a very busy spot, even on a Wednesday night. It's funny because there are several restaurants within this little strip plaza but this is the one that has the business. There's indoor and outdoor seating, which is really nice. We had a nice breeze on a hot summer night. Full pizza starts around $35. We (me and my folks) each had the special which was two slices and a drink. This ended up being slightly less, for three of us, then ordering a large pizza.. New York style it's what you get for the specials. I must say, w e were tempted by the Chicago style and calzones. And definitely intrigued by the pastas. We went with the white slice and eggplant. I know...we're a boring family since all three of us got the same thing. And we all enjoyed it! New York style is a thin crust and crunchy. Slices are huge making it definitely worth the investment. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of grease especially on the eggplant Parmesan pizza. It is unique. The white pizza had chees and spinach and is delicious hot. While, dad wasn't a huge fan of the eggplant pizza, he really enjoyed the white pizza which had him going from a yeah it's OK to I like it. Mom's only comment was she would have liked a little more flavor in the sauce for the eggplant. She keeps talking about how much she liked the crust! Staff is friendly and young. E we're thrilled The found us outside to deliver the pizza so we could avoid the noise and crowd. It took two people to bring it out! If we have another appointment out here we would consider returning - mom just said she throughly enjoyed it! read more

Oh Regents Pizza! You only get better!! Chicago style meat lovers is an all time favorite, and getting it fresh in restaurant truly is far superior to take out. Crust is crispy perfection. Do yourself a favor and order the off-menu Jalapeno Tequila chicken wings. So freakin' delicious! Fair warning sauce doesn't reheat well so just go ahead and eat them! Staff is always incredibly friendly and attentive and beer list is always spot on! read more

San Diego is not known for its pizza scene but if you look real hard you'll find a few standout establishments! Among them is Regents Pizzeria in La Jolla. Featuring authentic Chicago deep dish and New York-style pizzas. Plus an impressive craft beer bar with 30 rotating taps. This was my first time visiting and I really enjoyed it. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff with ample seating inside and out. I ordered what they call "Brooklyner" and it was outstanding! Made with house-made marinara, aged mozzarella blend, a double portion of Battistoni cup & char pepperoni, sautéed mushrooms and sprinkled with pecorino Romano and dried oregano, finally it's dotted with tasty blobs of ricotta cheese. 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

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

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

Regents Pizzeria is our favorite Friday date-night tradition! My husband and I always get our favorites the half meat lovers pizza and the white pizza and they are always so delicious. The Parmesan wings, goat cheese salad, and Caesar salad are also some of my favorite things to order. Even though Regents is always packed, the service is consistently fast, friendly, and amazing. Once you try Regents, you honestly won't want any other pizza! read more

Regents Pizzeria - Half meat liver Half white - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When I entered for pick up it took almost 30-35 minutes just for 2 slices of pizza. Now I wouldn't really care but I also ordered a kids pasta. When I checked the pasta it was only filled to 1/3 of the box. And when I checked my garlic knots there was only 2 THAT IS 3$ PER GARLIC KNOTS! The service was good but that was basically it. Wouldn't recommend if your hungry or wanting to have a treat. You won't get it. 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

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
