I went for a walk in my neighborhood and stop at this pizza place and ordered three different kinds of slices. I was impressed with how good they tasted. They were not greasy and the packaging box to carry out was sturdy. I've tried 4 other neighboring pizza places and I never went back the second time. Their pizza had pools of grease sitting on top. The packaging was in a paper bag- pretty sloppy. And the pizza wasn't good. My husband and I are picky about our food. We found a good pizza place that's walking distance to our home. The staff were nice and friendly. And the place had plenty of space to dine in. I strongly recommend Square Pizza to everyone. read more

Square Pizza - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

My household has declared Sunday as 'pizza day', so we're pretty darned serious about pizza. Discovered this place during a local Pizza Wars event and had to go back and give this place a try. We'd never heard of Detriot pizza before ('focaccia-like rustic dough', per their website) so thought we'd give it a try. And WOW, damn skippy that's a good crust. It's light and crunchy and just fan-friggin'-tastic, it's not as heavy as a traditional thick crust. It is a little odd when you see the tomato sauce on the top of the cheese, I'll admit. We generally stick to pepperoni pizza, which is what we did here, and were pleased with our choice. Just like anywhere else in downtown, parking is a little tough but the trolley runs right in front of their location so it's easy to get to. We walked from our condo near the convention center and just warmed it for 15 seconds in the microwave before we ate it. There is a ton of empty retail space near by, which is a shame because it is such an easy area to access. I read a couple of reviews talking about the area being notso great, it was fine and will be better once they get that stuff leased out, I'm sure. Seating both in and outdoors. I *want* to say that I saw beer, but honestly I can't say for certain. We were taking it to go, so ordered online and picked it up and I really didn't pay that much attention. It was clean and the staff was polite. They didn't acknowledge us when we first walked in, which was a bit disappointing because there was someone that wasn't doing anything at the time (literally). I kind of got the vibe that they may have been new and just kind of waiting for instructions as to what to do - but it literally takes no effort to nod at us and say "we'll be with you in a moment". We'll definitely be back! Thank you for reading my review. No go get some pizza!! read more

Saw that this place won an award for best pizza on Instagram so had to check it out. Came here on Sunday so plenty of street parking, went in got greeted, great service, the guys behind the counter were attentive and knew their stuff, very welcoming restaurant. Went for with some friends and ordered 8 slices of the thin crust pizza, pepperoni and jalapeño, the crust was perfectly crisp, jalapeño's were fresh and you could taste the quality of the pepperoni. We also ordered the Detroit style Pontiac 2.0, I highly recommend this pizza to anyone that enjoys deep dish. It wasn't as heavy or doughy as some places make it. It was truly a deep dish, light, flakey crust and the pepperoni cups were cooked perfectly. My own personal preference was I would have liked a little more oregano flavor on the pizza but overall, I give this place a 9 out 10 stars. Job well done chef. And to anyone on here complaining about the ambiance and it being on the trolley tracks, sit inside where there's plenty of seating and window watching. It's a clean restaurant and good food!! read more

Stopped by here after seeing the signage for it on the way home. Street parking on the surrounding blocks. Seating both inside and out, space was clean. Not too busy when I was there but I can imagine it packed other times. Got the daily special for one slice and a fountain drink. They also have $4 happy hour beer if that's something you're interested in pairing with your pizza. Appreciate that the staff were attentive and informed me that they had a detroit style pepperoni coming out of the oven within minutes, which is what I ended up ordering. Portion was filling, cupped pepperoni crispy enough, and I liked how the finished dough's texture was on every bite. Hope to come back again soon if I'm in the area. read more

I am not a big fan of Detroit pizza. But Detroit pizza at Square Pizza Co? I'M ALL IN!!! BEST Detroit I've ever had. Between every bite with my mouth full, I couldn't help but say "wow." We had the Jeep pizza, added Calabrian chili, with a side of ranch iykyk. Flawless!! It's a great size, plenty enough for two. The space is casual, welcoming, and vibey- with both inside and outside seating. Music was great, tables are clean, bathroom avail for customers. The staff are SO COOL and friendly. Parking can be hard given the location but it's worth it! read more

Come for the pizza, stay for the pão de queijo!Detroit style has quickly become one of my favorite styles of pizza and Square Pizza does it so well. The toppings and sauce are all so fresh, and the crust has a delectable crispy on the outside while being pillowy and delicious on the inside. Plus, this location has some of the best pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) I've had in the states! I was so surprised to see it, and started chatting with one of the workers there who's Brazilian and makes them. If you've never had it, try it here and you won't regret it. read more

The is local pizzeria near where I live. It's one of the best pizza I have had. They' have a wonderful happy hour . They sell pizza by the slices or as a whole. It's a good way to try different types of pizza with the option of selling by the slices. I got a Sicilian slice which was Bianca which is my favorite pizza so far. It's different type of crust that I have and love the taste. The staff is very friendly and makes it feel welcoming. The restaurant is family friendly and dog friendly which is one of my favorites parts . The Detroit pizza is thick and crispy and has a good flavor to it. read more

Found this place via "Pizza Wars" a pizza crawl around downtown! This place is a relatively new and hidden gem near the trolly line. Completely unexpected! The area isn't the best but the P&P make up for it! (Pizza and People ;). The restaurant is small but clean and well organized with a few booths for seating and also an outside area. Their main style is Detroit (so thick crust) but they also make a thinner crust if that's more your thing. I love thin NY style and my hubs loves thick so it's the perfect balance for us. The woman at the front (forget her name) is the absolute sweetest human. She always greets us and makes recommendations. Last night we learned we can create our own slices for the same price- which I was ecstatic about since I love a good veggie and they ran out of when we arrived. We ordered a slice of the Haverhill, Danvers (thin) and a Pontiac (thick). Everything was delish and I especially appreciate the heavy veggies on my slices! The quality is also top notch- and cannolis and cookies amazing. Thank you Square!! read more

Difficult parking 4 sure. Clean and friendly. Unfortunately 4 me, the crust was hard to chew, hard like a rock. One slice almost nine dollars. Would never return. read more

Wonderful pizza. My husband and I loved the fluffiness of the dough. Also, the portion sizes were huge! The picture below isn't two slices...it's one slice cut in half. Service was great, quick and simple. The atmosphere was pretty quiet overall, however the dining space was on the smaller side. We visited at a downtime and found parking on the street but it wasn't easy. I would highly recommend this place for the quality and the price of your meal. read more

This place is a great place to go grab a slice at a good price. This pizza looks a little messy in the photo, but that's because it was super fresh and hot (as usual). One slice is really like two slices, and now there's beer on tap! Staff is always friendly and they look like they like their job (not always the case these days so that's nice). My go-to is the Chicago Style Dodge. What's Chicago Style? A Focaccia-like rustic dough with a crispy crown of caramelized cheese, sauce on top in two "racing stripes" (unless otherwise noted), always finished with parmesan & oregano. The crust is perfect, crunchy around the sides and across the bottom. The Dodge has those dollops of ricotta on top - SO GOOD! Filling and affordable. There's a fridge there too so you can get sodas and beers to-go! They even have that yummy Brazilian soda that I can't pronounce, lol! Enjoy! read more

Square Pizza has been serving a variety of square style pizzas since 2016, and now with this new beautiful fast and casual pizzeria in East Village, San Diego and its surrounding communities. Square Pizza offers Detroit, Sicilian, Thin Crust or "Beach Pizza," not to mention gluten-free and vegan. Oh yes, you can also buy these frozen pizzas and bake them at home. Oh yes! They also offer amazing Brazilian cheese balls and cannolis. I had my favorite Sicilian Pepperoni and the Sicilian Bianca slice. They were both delicious. I loved that they both had a crunchy buttery crust and came with a generous amount of toppings. The pepperoni sliced came with beautifully cupped pepperonies, Grana Padano Italian parm and Wisconsin Grande Mozzarella Cheese. The red sauce was terrific and I loved the fresh basil on top. The Bianco was meatless, but came with the same cheeses above with the addition to the fluffy ricotta cheese. I loved the olive oil and the fresh basil. They were both great slices. The service at the counter was upbeat and super friendly. The pizza display looked amazing with all the square pizza available. It's a great set up. They have a lot of terrific choices to choose from. read more

Square Pizza is conveniently located right off the trolley tracks on Park Blvd in East Village. The area around the tracks can be a little shady, but this particular spot wasn't bad. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and my son loved watching the trolley from the window while enjoying our pizza inside. They had a sign outside for happy hour every day from 2-6pm, which included discount beers and pizza slice combos. I asked how the slices work and the cashier didn't mention anything about the combos for HH so that was a bit disappointing. They also didn't post prices on the large menu, so I have no idea what I actually paid for the slices. Detroit style slices are very large and I think must be around $8-9 each. You can also buy them frozen for a slight discount ($7). They also have thing crust style, which we got for my son and the crust was crispy and pizza much lighter than the thicker focaccia Detroit style. The Detroit style was great, but expect it to be a bit heavy due to all the bread. I was a bit disappointed in the selection of slices. They have tons of options on their menu if you are ordering a whole pizza, but not everything is available for slices. There were really only two available that my husband and I were remotely interested in, so we both got the same thing instead of our typical ordering different things so we can try more. We ordered the Hellcat and the Dodge. The Hellcat was the clear favorite. My husband really didn't enjoy the dodge and I thought it was ok. The Detroit style has a crispy crust and crispy cheese on the outsides and soft inside. The hellcat was tasty with the crispy pepperoni cups and hot honey. The dodge had ricotta, mushrooms, and spinach with red sauce. Mine could've been heated a bit longer as well. Overall good pizza and I'm sure great if you are ordering a pie to go. I would give it another shot or also try the frozen take and bake slices. read more

It was my first time here cause I live around the block! It's nice and spacious inside. They kept it clean! Service was fast and friendly. I've been wanting another pizza spot to open in the neighborhood. I think $8 for a slice of pizza is wild. The pizza slice is a big slice thought so I guess I can understand! The pizza was good but nothing spectacular. read more

This Detroit style pizza was so freaking good. The crust is somehow light and airy with just the right amount of crisp on the edge with the cheese.

The BBQ Chicken Pizza with bacon is incredible! It is made Detroit style, so it has a thicker crust, but it is nice and crispy, but still also with a bit of density to it. Super friendly staff! They have a daily happy hour special (photo attached) which is a really good deal! read more

Square Pizza - The Lawrence pizza slice - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Absolutely horrible experience here, it started when I walked in. I asked the cashier how much are the slices? He says 78, I said what do you mean. He says again 78, another worker came over and said $7 to $8 each slice. I said okay that makes sense. Cashier was very rude and had an attitude. Ordered a whole Detroit style square pizza with pepperoni. The place was deader than a door nail on a Friday night. The pizza comes out after 20 minutes and it's blah. So much sauce and no flavor whatsoever. Now I can see why this place was empty on a Friday night. I will definitely not be going back to this place ever again. Seriously they are so many better pizza joints than this place. Stay away from this one. read more

Really good Detroit style pizza. No dining room is a bummer though. Would come back to try some other combos.

Square pizza has GLUTEN FREE crust! The crust was spot-on- flavorful, soft, chewy the right way (and no stomach aches!) I Really appreciate them having toppings in larger containers (parm, garlic salt, pepper, oregano) to take to the table and use to my hearts content! I'd also like to point out specifically that besides having good pizza, they have welcoming employees. Everyone working there that we interacted with was incredibly nice with smiles on their faces and a social attitude. Friendliness really created a better dinner experience. Other things we loved was sitting in their clean patio, refillable coke drinks and they had on Redbull Hardline reruns on the TV while we were there for dinner, made it the perfect spot to hang out. read more

I usually am not a fan of deep dish at all (ironically since I lived in Detroit haha) but this place is so good! It's not overwhelmingly greasy like deep dish can be. I also loved one of the staff, Cheyenne. She was so nice and made sure my food was perfect. It's a nice chill pizza spot that's way less hectic compared to a lot of downtown. Def recommend, and it's conveniently right next to the Park&Market trolley stop. :-) read more
