Tried this at a private event and decided to come back for a work lunch to see if the taste was the same. It sure was! This just opened up in the little italy area and so many delicious flavors to choose from. my coworker and i decided to try 4 flavors, we got the wise guy, americas finest, traditional sicilian, and red top Detroit style. Red top Detroit style was our least favorite. It was too greasy with the cheese crust and the cheese crust was hard to chew. We enjoyed the rest of the 3. The staff was really nice and double cut our slices so we could share. They had bar top seating and one table inside. Outside seating is available as well as table tops to stand and eat. Solid pizza spot if you are in the little italy area. read more

The BEST Pizza place. My Top #1 Right now, in my Top 5, in San Diego! Big Slices. So Authentic . Very Excellent , theee Best . Can't go wrong. So Happy we have this place! The Set up is Urban and NYC Style. And, the Pizza Slices are HUGEE. It's 2 slices in 1. Their Cash out process is Simple and Smooth, giving you a Beeping device, when Ready. You can't go wrong with ordering Classic Pepperoni and Cheese. The slices have a Good amount of Grease but I'm Pretty Sure that has to be Pure Olive Oil. I Also Tried the Wise Guy ..... *Please be careful not toasting the green onions Too much... But, the Flavors Hit like an Orchestra. And, This place is my Absolute Favorite! I don't understand the negative reviews...about the Food. This is Quality. 10/10 read more

After having an amazing experience at the fountain valley location, I was excited to try this location closer to home, unfortunately I was severely disappointed. I got the a slice of the Rosa pizza and it was awful, it was just a huge greasy mess I ended up throwing more than half away it completely ruined my appetite with how oily and greasy it was. I also got the chocolate chip cookies which were okay, they were chewy but the type of cookie they are. There was plenty of seating mainly outdoors but still some seating inside. read more

Impossible parking. Not cheap I normally pay $6 or $7 bucks for a pizza slice with a drink, here they want $14.55! And what for, I did not finish (See photo). Terrible crust man. I Threw mine in the trash. I'll happily stick with Bronx pizza or Long Island mikes. read more

I was excited to come back and get a pizza to go. After asking about the different styles, I decided on Detroit barbecue chicken pizza. The wait was a little bit longer considering the crust which is thick. It's also a rectangle. There's a cozy interior dining area but a great outdoor patio! There's also some high tables you can stand and eat at. It was later in the evening so parking was a challenge, but I scored a close spot. The whole area is so different now. When I got home, I couldn't wait to eat! My car smelled so good on the drive. The pizza is a good size, however, for the price, I expected way more toppings, especially the chicken and bacon. So it was more like thick squares of bread with a sprinkle of the toppings. The flavor was good but I expected more. The staff is really friendly! And I'll consider coming back and trying something else but I'm not in a hurry. read more

My husband and I were visiting from out of town, and decided to stop here for a slice after a day of travel. The man who took our order was super nice and easy to talk to, and helped us make decisions on the best drinks to pair with our pizza. I had the Sweet Gino and a canned margarita (which was better than I thought it might be!). Pizza was great, service was quick, and we enjoyed sitting outside with the nice cool breeze. It was especially nice that they were busy, but the line moved quickly and we didn't have much wait at all before we ate. read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Front of restaurant - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Let me start with the food, because overall it was actually very good. The vodka pasta was excellent -- rich, flavorful, and easily the standout dish for me. The caprese salad was fresh and well-balanced, and the veggie pizza was also well prepared with a surprisingly good crust that had the right texture and flavor. That said, there were some frustrating and honestly confusing limitations with the menu. Apparently the only pizza options are pork-based toppings or veggie. No grilled chicken option. No ability to add chicken on top or even order it on the side. That makes absolutely no sense to me in a modern restaurant setting. As someone allergic to pork, I can't eat pepperoni, sausage, or bacon, so the lack of any alternative protein option felt unnecessarily restrictive and a bit out of touch. Unfortunately, the bigger issue was the service. My friend Ali -- second from the right in the photo -- asked one of the gentlemen working there if he could help carry a few additional items out to the table for her. She has a medical condition that happened to flare up that day, so this wasn't simply about convenience. His response was: "We do, but it's right there so you can take it." That interaction honestly left a bad impression. Especially because it appeared that this type of courtesy may be extended to some guests but not others, based on criteria that frankly wasn't clear. Hospitality is often measured in the small moments, and this felt like a missed opportunity to simply show kindness and basic customer care. It's unfortunate because the kitchen genuinely did a great job. The food deserved praise. But service matters just as much as what comes out of the oven, and in this case the service experience is ultimately what cost this place several stars for me. PS: I forgot to mention there were no wings on Memorial Day. It was disappointing. read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Lunch with family - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Tucked in little Italy and definitely a hot spot for something quick! Hard to enjoy eating in because the music was blasting so loud I'm talking about club status. Mind you, it's the weekend so I get it your trying to go for that vibe but there a lot of patrons from very young to old and it may not be their scene. Ordered a combo Americana and you could tell the toppings were super fresh. Nothing really stood out for me to come back again unfortunately. The cashier employee was definitely stressing during their rush hour and not so friendly. Also literally a small condiment container for a Caesar salad? read more

Ridiculous, This was pizza experience! This is pizza if it went to the gym and was on HGH! Different styles to choose from which is cool, from several deep dish to NY style. I went Detroit- Motörhead. I've never had a more crispy crust. My wife had a slice w Sesame crust ( Americas finest) and my daughter did margarita. All delish. Great sides like hot honey to table side Tony G hot pepper olive oil. We needed the arugula bacon because we're such health nuts. Great salad. Fantastic read more

Tried the lunch special, which is $12 and it comes with either a cheese or pepperoni slice, a soda, & a very small salad. The salad leaves a lot to be desired. Imho, I thought the pizza was just ok.

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

If you're ever thinking of going to Slice House for pizza, don't hesitate just go. I went on their website and downloaded the app, for your welcome you receive a $5 off your order, I searched through the app and under Thursday (the day we ordered) there was a dinner promo, a large pepperoni or cheese pizza, 3 meatballs and a 3 cookies for $36, umm that's a great deal, I think it's the regular New York style so we opted out this time. We picked a Detroit style pizza, the dough is fluffy and more focaccia like, it was so hard to decide which pizza to get but we ultimately chose the Wiseguy, it has mozzarella, sweet and spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, ricotta, green onion, and Tony's hot pepper oil (I'm getting this description from the website). Parking can be a little difficult, so my husband did a quick emergency park and I went in to grab the order, it was super fast and efficient and I didn't know but they sell slices in the restaurant too. The inside is just so cozy and smelled delicious, I looked at the cookies and the cashier gave me one on the house which was so kind. I ate the cookie on the drive home, it was tasty, crispy and buttery, I loved it. When we got home, I ate the pizza while my husband waited he likes cold pizza. I ended up eating 2 in one sitting, it was so good, I put some hot honey and it was extra perfect. My husband also loved the slice, we decided next time we'd either do the dinner special or get the Traditional pizza, ugh I cannot wait to come back! read more

Wow, wow, WOW!!! It's no wonder that Slice House is expanding from just over 30 stores, to more than 150+ establishments within the next 3 years. Growth doesn't always signify results, but as long as their pumping out pies like these, with managers like Marco, they're sure to keep on winning! The Sicilian style Burrata Queen may just be the best pizza you've ever had, no hyperbole. I'd say it's definitely more than worth the hassle of parking in LIttle Italy. Shoot, walk, run, Uber, bike, whatever it takes, hustle your buns down here and get one of these pies-CAPICHE! Sicilian Burrata Queen- Unlike any other pizza I've eaten before; it is truly divine. The focaccia like crust is pillowy soft and airy, enticing you to take bite after bite. The burrata, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses provide a sensual blanket clutching that bright pesto and spicy chili oil like it was your momma's pearls. Wowza! This pie sings in your mouth, like for real. I suggest you get it "double cut" because these slices are HUUUGE. When double cut, the pie get sliced into 12 robust slices. At ~$39 bucks for the pie, it's not cheap, but it truly is worth every penny. The Queen's meaty partner in crime is The Wiseguy, which I recommend to get on the NY style crust. Holy cow is this thing huge. Stacked with pepperoni, sweet and spicy Italian sausage, ricotta, mozzarella, green onion, and hot pepper oil...YES PLEASE! This meaty monstrosity hits like Mike Tyson in his prime. Plus their NY style crust is full of flavor, no bland or boring crust on this bad boy. I also recommend getting this ~$39 pie double cut. After enjoying a few Slice House pies, my mom vows to never eat another pie other than Slice House. She literally scoffed at the sight of one of those pizza ads you see on television. Honestly, she can't stop talking about it; she's mentioned everyday since we tried it this past Friday night. Thanks to Marco and the crew for throwing down some absolutely EPIC pies. I'll see you all again soon...very soon. Oh and btw, if you use the InKind app, you know the gift cards that you buy at Costco for $75 in exchange for $100 InKind bucks, you likely score 20% credit back in the app when you make your purchase. Enjoy! read more

Pizza was great! True NY style. No weak crust here. Flavor was all round good as well. Sauce was slightly sweet. Service was ok and ambiance was ok, could have had someone clean the tables to make it a nicer eating experience. read more

My friends and I were at a nearby event and had been craving some pizza afterward, so we went to slice house and we're absolutely obsessed. In full transparency, finding good pizza in San Diego is extremely difficult. I was very excited to try this pizza because it looked like the type of pizza I can get on the East Coast, and it was really really good. The pepperoni was had the perfect kick to it, and the cheese was incredible as is. The owner came out to greet some people from the event was extremely kind, supportive, and excited to ramp up the energy for a local business opening Nextdoor. I wanted to support him because of the energy he gave to the opening spot Nextdoor, and I'm glad we did because we will 100% be returning for this amazing pizza. It felt like a true NYC or east coast pizza parlor, clean, nothing too fancy, but a bit more modernized. Absolutely recommend read more

We're back @ Slice House by Tony Gemignani! And once again, it did not disappoint! Located on Kettner Blvd in the heart of Little Italy. It's no wonder these guys are 13-time world pizza champions! They truly offer an unparalleled diverse menu from Detroit style to New York style to one of my all time favs- The Burrata Queen (artisan style). The Burrata Queen is a culinary masterpiece! Handcrafted, premium ingredients, a perfectly balanced, wood-fired pizza! The crust was the star of the show, crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. And the fresh mozzarella (melted and gooey) with a generous amount of pesto drizzle and hot honey truly made for a delicious sensory experience! Not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best pizzas I've had- ever! Service is always on par! Prices are reasonable and the vibe is chill and laid back. Definitely come check these guys out! It's totally worth it! read more

Came around 12:30 pm on a Saturday and there was a slight line to order. My sister and I shared 3 slices and we were stuffed! -America's finest slice (4.5/5): simple and tasty, not overly salty. The sesame seed crust was crispy and unique but good -Combo Americano (4.5/5): I like that it came with both meats and veggies, not overly salty as well, crust was thin and crispy -Traditional (4/5): the thick and crunchy Sicilian style crust was delicious! Loaded with sausage and pepperoni but a bit too salty for me Prices per slice are a bit pricey but the slices are big and fresh. I like that they heat up the slices. The girl working was nice and cut all of our slices in half for sharing without us even asking! A pretty small spot with limited indoor seating but lots of outdoor patio seating and some standing tables. read more

Yummy pizza! Came for a Sunday lunch and waited a few mins to order. I split 3 slices with my sister. The girl working was so nice and cut all of them into half so we could share! I liked that they also heat up your order. The NY style slices were perfectly thin and crispy. For almost $8 a slice, it's a bit pricey but they are a generous size and tasted hot and fresh. America's Finest Slice (4/5): simple and delicious, the pepperoni had a nice crisp. I wasn't a huge fan of the ricotta. The sesame seed crust was interesting but good! Combo Americano (4.5/5): I enjoyed the variety of toppings, especially the veggies since the other slices didn't have much lol. Salami wasn't my favorite Traditional (4/5): a bit salty, but I like the thickness and crunch of the Sicilian style crust. Sausage was juicy and thick read more

We came to Little Italy on my husband's birthday. He loves pizza. He wanted to find a really good slice of pepperoni pizza for lunch. After wandering around India Street he didn't see what he wanted. We sat down and found Slice House on yelp and discovered it was just one street over. He was very happy with his pepperoni. I got the Sweet Gino (ironically Gino is my husband's name!) The red sauce on the pizza was so delicious! We'd definitely come back or even find another location in another city! read more

Slice House by Tony Gemignani - Pepperoni and Sweet Gino - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Can't say I was the biggest fan, but the place itself is clean, cute, and has a welcoming atmosphere. There's seating both indoors and in a nice outdoor patio area. You order at the counter and receive a buzzer when your pizza is ready. They also have an impressive craft beer selection including options from NPBC and Burgeon. The restaurant is dog-friendly, and the employee who took my order was incredibly friendly. She even had treats for the pups. I ordered: * Hot Honey: loaded with pepperoni, and you could taste the honey, slightly. Unfortunately, the crust was very doughy. If you're looking for a thin New York-style slice, this isn't it. I only ended up eating about half of it. * America's Finest: this one had a unique sesame-seed crust and was definitely the better of the two slices. I especially enjoyed the ricotta cheese, which added great flavor. The slices are huge, but at $7.50 per slice, the price feels pretty steep. While there were aspects of the experience I enjoyed such as the friendly service, dog-friendly atmosphere, and beer selection, the pizza itself just wasn't good. At the end of the day, I don't see myself coming back. read more

SLICE HOUSE BY TONY GERMINGANI @ DOWNTOWN Parking can be pretty tough since it's all street parking, and because it's right in the heart of downtown, it gets extremely busy, especially on weekends. I personally took the trolley, which made things a lot easier. If you do plan on driving, it's about a 7 minute drive from Little Italy, so it's close, but definitely very downtown. My friends and I came on a Saturday around 7 PM. One of my friends is vegan, so we asked if we could do a half-and-half pizza since they offer so many options (New York-style, Detroit, Sicilian, and more). I went with a large New York-style pizza because it looked amazing, super thin and crispy. The space itself is really nice and clearly renovated, and it was packed with people both in front of and behind us. They allow dogs inside, which was a fun surprise, and there's also outdoor seating. We ended up ordering half vegetarian veggie pizza (with mushrooms, green onions, and peppers) and half hot honey pepperoni. The large pizza was about $42, and we waited roughly 30 minutes outside, but they had heaters, which made it much more comfortable. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by and grabbing a slice. The pizza honestly lasted three days between three girls, so it's a lot of food for the price. While it was on the oilier side, the quality was great and the flavor was delicious. I'd absolutely come back and highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I think this pizza place was amazing. The staff were extremely nice and very helpful with recommending a pizza. I came in with myself and two friends, and we were planning on getting an entire pie. The person who checked us out was extremely nice and let us get two different types of pizzas that we wanted to try. The pizza came out fresh and hot. The location is about an eight minute walk from the main square of Little Italy, so it's super easy to get there. They have indoor seating that's limited but they have a big patio with heat lamps to keep you warm, which was very nice. The pizza itself was not too oily and was the perfect ratio of toppings. If you're in Little Italy, and you're craving pizza, I would definitely recommend coming here. They have lots of different crust options as well as toppings. It's decently priced, especially given the size and a perfect place to spend an afternoon with friends. read more

Absolutely love this place. I stumbled into it by accident after a disappointing meal from across the street, and it turned out to be one of the best pizza finds in this area ever. I've been a regular ever since. The customer service is consistently great, and the pizza holds its own. The one pizza topped with sesame seeds on the crust is unreal. I order it every single time. Their thick‑crust pies are carb-heavy in the best possible way and always hit the spot. :-) Parking in that part of town isn't the best, but the food makes it more than worth the hassle. I'll be coming back again and again. read more

Slice House is a really strong option in an area with no shortage of pizza spots. The pizza is well made across the board -- a nicely cooked crust with good structure, flavorful sauce, and toppings that feel balanced rather than overdone. This is the kind of pizza other places nearby should be aiming for. And honestly, if this shop were on the East Coast, it wouldn't feel out of place at all. That's high praise without being over the top. All in all, it's an easy 5-star pizza for Southern California and a place I'd happily return to when I'm in the neighborhood. They have only been around since May !! read more

DELICIOUS PIZZA! Need to remember to ask if they have ranch! The portions are massive, basically 2 slices in 1! The crust is perfect, the dough holds up when you bring it to your mouth (no floppy pizza), it's not overly chewy (you're not playing tug a war), and the flavor is delicious. They have herb mix available, crushed red pepper, and parm if you want to add it on top. They even have hot chili oil too which was cool. I got the Wiseguy, I actually had this last time too.. just so good I needed it again. It has tomato sauce, mozzarella, sweet Italian sausage (sliced), spicy Italian sausage (crumbled), pepperoni, ricotta, house made hot pepper oil, and green onion. I could probably go without the ricotta and green onion, but it still is super delicious with it! The crumbled bits of sausage were my absolute favorite. I'll try another pizza flavor next time I swear! My brother ordered the one with the sesame seeds on the crust. It wasn't a whole lot different than mine in terms of topping but his pepperoni was a different size and cut! He really really enjoyed it and was contemplating about ordering another slice to bring home. Which he didn't do and then regretted it lol! Next time, if we come with more people we want to order a pie (whole pizza!). The worker that was at the shop the day we went was very kind! PS I actually came here with my friends and we devoured an entire Wise Guy Pizza with some sodas too of course. read more

=When I'm in Little Italy, I always make sure to swing by. Luckily, I usually come on Saturdays, and I somehow manage to inhale a large slice or square even when I'm already full. My favorite is the Motorhead Detroit style pizza. I've tried different kinds and different crusts, but the Detroit style is the perfect crust. Even if it were plain, I would still order it. Each bite is crispy with a hint of olive oil, but not overly oily. You can put anything on that crust, and I will eat it. They offer plenty of outdoor seating, the service is fairly quick, and everything is served fresh. There are so many options to choose from. read more

Such a great experience at Slice House!!! I even had the chance to meet the owner, and he was so attentive, personable, and genuinely welcoming--it really sets the tone for the whole place. The staff overall were just so nice too, and honestly that kind of service is what keeps people coming back. Also, pro tip: if you download their app, you get a $5 welcome reward which is such a nice little bonus! And I love that they offer slice options too if you don't want to commit to a whole pizza--perfect for trying different styles. They also offer indoor and outdoor seating, that can accommodate big or small parties. Now the pizza... OMG. SO amazing!!! Out of all the styles they offer, my favorite had to be the Sicilian. It was the perfect thickness and density, and tasted like it came straight out of an Italian grandma's kitchen--so comforting and flavorful. The food was so good I didn't even get a pic before eating it which says everything you need to know!! Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to again and again. read more

Perfection. Slice House is the latest pizza restaurant in the Little Italy area of downtown and is by far my favorite. They sell either by the slice or whole pizzas, alongside some pastas and salad as well. The interior is pretty spacious, with some seating inside and a vast outdoor seating area. Service is friendly and fast, being able to help choose which slice best fits your taste and toasting it back up to perfection. I opted for the America's Finest Slice and Wiseguy. America's Finest Slice is a San Diego special and truly is a great slice to represent the city. The crust is covered with sesame seeds, leaving a great toasted sesame flavor and the extra crunch! The ricotta cheese alongside the crispy pepperoni is all tied together with the amazing tomato sauce. The Wiseguy was just as good, with italian sausage accompanying the pepperoni this time, and their own hot oil drizzled along the slice. Their hot oil packs a punch of flavor and spice, don't be afraid to add more! I recommend Slice House if you're touring the downtown area for some good food or if you're just in need of a good slice of pizza. This place always hits the spot and I'll definitely be back! read more
