Congrats to Tribute Pizza on 10 years! This is a very good pizza house set in a converted post office, with plenty of character to match. The staff are friendly and the food service is attentive. You can tell the kitchen actually cares, and it shows: they do better than most spots in this category. The pizzas are excellent with great variety, and I'd go back anytime. One note to the owners: you display your salsa awards proudly in the lobby, but they're nowhere on the menu. I went the food stuff. Only downside: it's very loud inside, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quiet dinner.
When there is a line door the block before opening, you know it's gonna be good! We got here within 5 minutes of opening and were able to get the last table! We ended up enjoying cocktails while ordering the food to take home. We loved the HotBoi which was pepperoni, jalapeno, and Mike's hot honey! The Don of Dough was a vodka pizza which I had higher expectations of. I'd skip this one next time. The side dishes is where it's at here! The best Brussel spouts and the kale salad! The MonkeyPod inspired Mai Tai was great about enough me back to Hawaii. The Delicious Moments Martini with tomato had a lot of potential but needed more tomato flavoring to make it savory.
I really wanted to like this place but I just thought they were okay. Since we were a large party, we made a reservation. They are pretty strict with time so we made sure all eight of us were on time. Parking is atrocious but there is a parking lot close by so you can pay to park. Our group ordered one Detroit pizza, a New York pizza and a neo neapolitan pizza. I enjoyed the New York style one the most/best because it had the most flavor and the dough was pretty good - not too soft but not chewy, if that makes sense. The neo neapolitan was okay because I kept comparing it to the one I had in Japan. I think I needed more than a pesto flavor and the dough wasn't pillowy soft. The Detroit I didn't really care for. The dough was tough and it just seemed like it was topping on top of bread. Like I couldn't enjoy it. I think I need to go back to try other items because I just didn't enjoy it. The bread with the garlic confit was the best item of what we ate, in my opinion. Oh we did order a salad but I forgot what it was called. It was refreshing and lots of different textures and flavor. It was pretty good. Again, I would definitely go back because people say this place is excellent. So I wanna order something that would be mind blowing with their kind of reputation. Oh, the servers were great and the ice tea kept coming. I appreciated the great service.
It is really good pizza and take inspirations from all over the US. They were super slammed at night and pizza took a longggggg time to come out. Over an hour was pretty bad but normally it shouldn't be this long. The stone fruit salad was amazing. Perfect peaches, cheese, and the fluffy spongy bread makes the perfect combination. Meatballs were also great. Big and saucy. The bread that came with meatballs were nice and soft. If there's one thing they get right is their dough for everything. Burrata pie is inspired by Lindustrie's. It's pretty close but not quite there. The other pie's pepperoni is so salty but everything else is good about it
Never disappointed with Tribute! We came here on a weekday 8pm reservation and the place is packed as usual. The pizzas are delicious, even better with cold hazy ipa. Staff is friendly and attentive. Tribute still stands on my top pizza spot in town.
Best pizza outside of New York that I've had? Possibly yes! For appetizers, we ordered the Brussels sprouts. It was a generous portion, and even though I'm not usually a big Brussels sprouts fan, I really enjoyed them. We tried the Dye Another Day and King of the Crown pizzas and loved both. The King of the Crown is Detroit-style, and one slice was enough to fill me up. Great flavors and definitely memorable Christian, our waiter, was super helpful. The entire restaurant has an awesome vibe, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy some seriously good pizza. P.S: ask for a side of hot honey :)
We visited on a weekday night. It gets fairly packed, so reserving on Resy a few days in advance is a good idea. We lucked out and found street parking right away, which is notoriously rare for North Park. We were seated near the pizza station, which gave us a fun front-row seat to watch the chefs work their magic. The staff truly made the experience. Our server was energetic, knew the menu inside out, and gave great recommendations. Following his advice, we started with the stone fruit salad. It was a solid 5/5, and my boyfriend was obsessed with it. The stracciatella and fruits paired perfectly together, balanced by a hint of savoriness from the balsamic oil. The highlight was the toasted focaccia croutons, which were crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. For the main, we split a 13-in with half classic combo and half hellboy. The classic combo (4/5) was a delicious homage to the OG Costco combo pizza. The hellboy (3/5) was a bit too sweet for my preference, but it tasted better balanced with a side of their ranch. I think for 2 people, this was a good amount of food. Overall, it was a great experience with phenomenal drinks. We are already planning our next visit to try their other pizza offerings.
Ok ok I went back again. But this time it was for a special event and limited release of a home grown custom creation limited edition of apricot rum which was yum a yum yum. Bear with me- we had four (yes 4) custom cocktail creations with this liquid ambrosia plus pizza galore, charcuterie and my personal favorite - a special apricot bread pudding featuring the star of the night. I ate and drank myself silly while celebrating 10 years of this delicious dynamo. The event was an a- plus and not just because of how lip smacking good it all was - this was an event about community, craft and connection. Cheers to 10 more years and a huge tribute to you, Tribute!
I have been waiting to try this place as it was ranked in the top 100 pizza places in the country recently and all the buzz on Yelp. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance because of long wait times previously quoted for walk ins. Ambiance: inside an old post office. The kitchen is completely open air in the center, so you can see them making everything. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating. Parking can be really difficult and I've been quoted almost a 2 hour wait for walk ins on the weekend for dinner, so definitely best to make a reservation. Service: Service was good. Our server explained the menu to us and checked on us often. They say pizzas can take 45 mins during busy times, but it wasn't that long of a wait for us. Food: The foccacia they had lined up looked great, but we were already getting plenty of bread in our pizza that we didn't try that. We started with an order of four meatballs, which I thought was a bit pricey, but the meatballs were a good size and the sauce was delicious. It came with toasted sourdough bread as well, which paired nicely with the meatballs and extra sauce. For pizza, we ordered the 13" of dye another day with sausage added and classic combo supreme.I liked the cheese sprinkled on the dye another day crust. I had a hard time getting a taste of the three sauces. We added sausage and it was so subtle, I almost mentioned that it was supposed to have sausage added to it when they delivered it to our table, but ended up seeing little specs of it. We also ordered the classic combo supreme, which was a higher quality Costco supreme pizza. I did enjoy this one. Overall, the pizza was good, but a little floppy. I prefer the crust a bit firmer. Salads also looked good and I would try one next time.
Wow! This place is absolutely worth the hype! Another pizza spot recommended it to us, and they were spot on. We got lucky and scored a same day reservation, but I definitely recommend planning ahead and booking in advance to save yourself the stress. Of course, we had to get pizza. We ordered half Hellboy and half Classic Combo Supreme. From the very first bite, you could tell the ingredients were incredibly fresh. I especially loved the tomato sauce, and the amount of toppings was perfect. The winner for me was the Classic Combo, it had a little bit of everything and all the flavors worked so well together. My favorite part, though, was the crust. It was perfectly crunchy and had such a great texture. The kale salad is also a must-order! Everything tasted fresh, and the ingredients paired so well together. It was the perfect palate cleanser between slices of pizza. This place left me wanting more, and that's always a good sign. I'll definitely be making excuses to come back to San Diego just to eat here again!
I highly recommend making a reservation! I visited on a Wednesday around 6:15 and it was so busy- which to me was a good sign- but it was a 45 minute wait time before we got seated. And we waited over an hour for our pizza to come out . So 100% make a reservation! Regardless, the pizza we got was amazing! We chose the "grandma" style of a thicker crust which I loved. For apps we got the pickled veggies which were alright and the olives which I was not a fan of because they came warm (like they were warmed in an oven before serving). The beer selection was great and the staff were really kind! We sat at the bar which I liked and overall had a great experience!
Make a reservation. No, really. We were on vacation and didn't have one. The women behind us were chatting about having tried 3 times to get in without booking first. Thankfully, we got lucky. Young miss at the desk put us on the list after refusing a $20 tip. (Very un-Vegas. Tips get you anywhere.) We went across to Finca for a drink while we waited. Get the 18" that takes longer. Get the soft serve. You're dissing yourself if you don't. It's beautiful, clean, buzzy. Nice staff. All the things. Just go already.
The pizza was delicious, the sauce was flavorful, and the toppings tasted very fresh. I ordered the first cocktail on their menu, and it was excellent. They also offer a good selection of beers. The service was attentive throughout our visit. My husband and I shared a Neapolitan size pizza that we decided to divide (you can do half and half different pizza options as long as it's the same sauce), we also got the focaccia bread, and it ended up being the perfect amount of food, surprisingly filling and it tasted better than it looks.
First time to this pizza spot. Hearing great things so had to try it. Super busy on a Saturday early evening. The wait time was crazy. So we decided to order take out. We had the Hotboi pizza,The dough boy pizza, Kale Cesar salad, Brussels sprouts. Everything was good but Our favorite was definitely the Brussels sprouts and the Hotboi pizza. It was our first time so without knowing we ordered too much food. Next time we'll be prepared. And there will be a next time!! So delicious. I love the clever names of everything. Lots of vegan options available also. This place has delicious food - explains the long wait times. I'll be back. read more

We enjoyed dinner here last night. It was okay. First and foremost the restaurant was HOT. Sweaty, uncomfortable, no fans or A/C hot. At least, if there was A/C it wasn't on. I dripped with sweat in my cute dress as I sat through dinner. Not an enjoyable experience. The highlight of the meal came at the beginning. The stone fruit panzanella salad. This was BOMB. I would come back (and yes, even sweat to death) to eat this again. Fresh ingredients, distinct flavors, so impressive. This is a must get if you are eating here. My husband also enjoyed the lilikoi mai thai. Having just enjoyed the real thing at Monkeypod in Maui a few months ago I can say it is a close copy. Very alcohol forward and strong. We got the Brooklyn's Best (my fav of the three we tried), the Dirty Dancin', and the You Knew This Was Coming. Overall the pizzas were good, but not memorable. I feel like they were trying to put too many surprising ingredients together to impress the diner, at the expense of flavor. This was a disappointment, however I am curious to try other pizzas here in the future as I know the menus change regularly. The vibe at the restaurant is very cool - open, urban and family friendly. The staff was phenomenal - super friendly and rolled with our sarcasm. Our server Rhiannon was EXCELLENT. Other than the panzanella salad she was the highlight of the experience. Overall I would say this restaurant is "good". I would give it a 3.5 if I could but I'll go with a 4 because the staff was awesome. I would return in the future to check out other pizza flavors, but this time we will get takeout and sit somewhere with a breeze. read more
**Captain's Log, Stardate 79413.7 -- Tribute Pizza, North Park** **Priority One directive before anything else: MAKE A RESERVATION.** We failed to do so, and only the intervention of pure dumb luck saved this away mission. We materialized in line the moment the doors opened -- and yes, Captains, there was already a line. This establishment fills faster than a turbolift at shift change, so do not gamble with the Kobayashi Maru like we did. Plan ahead. Commendation to **Ryan, the manager**, who ran the room with the calm command presence of a seasoned bridge officer. You have the conn, Ryan. Now, to the mission log. The food -- incredible across the entire quadrant. The **salad** is no mere replicator side dish -- order it, it earns its place. The **meatballs** are a must-have, non-negotiable, resistance is futile. And that **sauce**? Phenomenal. Logical in its perfection. I would happily requisition a barrel of it for the long voyage home. The **cheese pizza** -- classic, old-school, done with respect for the ones who came before. That golden undercarriage on the crust? Engineering-grade craftsmanship. Scotty himself would approve. Tribute Pizza in North Park has earned every accolade in its record. We will be back to haunt this place -- and that's a promise, not a threat. Live long and prosper. Vulcan salute. **-- Captain 619, out.** read more

5/5, incredible! We walked in for a celebratory dinner on a Thursday evening at the place was buzzin. Reservations are definitely recommended and are posted 25 days out. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table around 5ish to sit at the community table which in the name can explain that its shared with other parties. I wanted to provide the hugest shout out to our server Kevin who was absolutely fantastic. He was personable, he provided recs, he checked in and provided us what we needed so promptly even though he was supporting a huge party of 30+ as well. He also provided us with a complimentary dessert for our celebration. Thanks Kevin!! As for food, we got: - Kale Salad: the best kale salad I've ever had in my life, the sauce was creamy, but also umami and had a kick to it because of the calabrian chilies, the croutons were so tasty and I could live off this salad - Hot Boi w/ hot honey on the side: The crust was thin and crisp and we got the hot honey on the side to control the sweetness of the honey, but honestly, it was so good with the hot honey, I would definitely get the Hotboi as is next time, delish! This za was an odd to Scarr's pizza in NY and it was perfection - Soft Serve - Oh my goodness, I didn't know that a soft serve combination could floor me, but this did. Tribute makes everything in house and their vanilla soft serve with strawberry hibiscus (seasonal) mix was perfect - the vanilla wasn't too sweet, the strawberry hibiscus tasted like a jam and the combination worked super well together read more

Love the service, ordered cheese Neapolitan, Detroit w/ Mikes hot honey, Kale Caesar, Sangria, Tribute IPA, Shirley Temple. Great environment for dates and family alike. Comfortable booths if you prefer it and noise at a perfect level. 5/5 everything, food, service, speed even! We will be back, maybe for a special occasion! Only thing that can be tough is the final check, lol! Great time, thanks for a wonderful experience. read more
Tribute Pizza in North Park is one of my go-to spots for a really good gourmet pizza night. Everything is made in-house - from the dough and crust to even the cheese, and you can absolutely taste the difference. I've been here a few times, including for my birthday, and it never disappoints. The caramelized onion pizza(Brooklyn's Best) is amazing, and the Brussels sprouts are a must-have. They also have a surprisingly good noodle dish, which I didn't expect at a pizza place but ended up loving. All of their pizzas are consistently great, it's one of those places where you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Just a heads up, reservations can be tricky to get and walk-ins often mean a long wait (sometimes up to an hour), so I'm always on the lookout for an open slot. They're also only open for dinner. The space itself adds to the experience, it used to be an old USPS building, which gives it a lot of character. Parking can be tough since it's North Park... or "NoPark" as some people call it, but it's worth the effort. Overall, such a solid spot for high-quality, creative pizza. Definitely a favorite. read more

We have been to Tribute a few times now and absolutely love it. We came on a whim for our first date night out with our baby, and luckily they were able to get us seated quickly without a reservation. However this time around, I am not able to eat dairy or soy, and they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions with ease! It has not been easy to find restaurants that can modify their menu for these restrictions, so I was thrilled to hear most of the menu was modifiable. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, vegano supreme, and the hellboy with their vegan cheese. Omg everything was so delicious, they always have amazing flavors. I could eat piles of their Brussels sprouts. The vegan ranch was also really good. One thing that really stands out at Tribute is their top tier service. They are knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. We had ordered a beer but never received it which is no biggie (it was super busy), but they then gave us the beer on the house, plus a vegan sorbet that was amazing! Also for how busy the restaurant is, the servers constantly checked in on our table and our waters were always filled. San Diego is lucky to have an establishment like Tribute Pizza. If I lived walking distance from here I would definitely be a regular! I will definitely keep coming back to work my way through the menu! read more

It's been a long time since we've eaten in but we were able to get a last minute reservation at 6pm on their patio. It was a chillier night and you definitely still needed a jacket as they only had two heaters for the whole patio. We started with an espresso martini and the negroni. I was originally thinking of getting wine and got to try a few reds but didn't like any specifically so decided on a cocktail. Was thinking of getting the tribute "negroni" but was told it was less bitter than the traditional one so I decided to stay with the original. We got the roasted veggies to start and the Classic Combo Supreme (homage to the Costco supreme pizza) grandma style. The roasted veggies could have been roasted way more. Barely any char. But we did like the variety of veggies (zucchini, beets, potatoes, broccolini, carrots, cauliflower and peppers). The pizza toppings were delish! Like a fancier supreme pizza with high quality ingredients. The dough itself was fine. We were picturing more focaccia style and fluffier but it wasn't too fluffy. We both said we'd probably just get the standard neopolitan style next time. Service the whole time was very friendly and helpful. Never felt rushed even though things were busy. read more

Wow! Did not realize how popular this spot was. We arrived a few minutes after opening and there was already a long line out the entrance. Once we got to check in, they estimated the wait to be 1.5 hours!! I suggest making a reservation unless you come 15 minutes before opening to secure a spot. I liked the liveliness of the inside and how it's casual but not super laid back. Options are good and have a variety. Cocktails were super strong too! The service was ok tho, could definitely be better. The pizza itself took like 35 minutes to come. They were good and thin, the crust was yummy but I would have preferred a crunchier pizza all the way through. Overall I'd come back to try other pizzas and will definitely make a reservation. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for months now, and was chatting with some friends hyping up pizza, places, and Tribute came up. First, would like to shout out Kevin our server who made the whole experience extremely enjoyable (if you read this kevin - go giants!). He was extremely thoughtful, gave excellent recommendation, and made excellent conversation. Per his rec we ordered the stone fruit salad to start which has now sparked many summer cooking ideas. The fruit was so fresh, the homemade croutons had the perfect crunch, the chili oil gave it a perfect kick. We then asked for some Calabrian chili oil to have on the side with our pizza and our boy kevin brought us chili oil, ranch, and hot honey to try with our pizza. Each one enhanced the pizza in its own way. We had the dirty dancing, boy was it dirty. We added all the meat and sauces. The crust was perfectly thin. To end the night Kevin brought us soft serve vanilla with olive oil, perfect way to cap off an excellent meal. read more
Great service! Parking a little hard to find but the food was soooooo good. The pizza was such a classic. The soft serve was so creamy and flavorful and not too sweet. The salad was delicious as well. Great open dining room. Will want to come back. Service was also on point. read more
The food was phenomenal -- we ordered the silverton chop salad and the dye another day pizza is the grandma style. Both were absolutely phenomenal. Only issue is that the service wasn't great, our server barely checked on us and was not engaged at all. The pizza took nearly an hour (it's noted on the menu that certain pizzas can take a while, so we were prepared and aware and never said anything) but one of the pizza cooks personally came over, apologized for the wait, and offered us free dessert. We really appreciated the initiative and kindness, he went above and beyond when it wasn't even necessary. For dessert, we got soft serve ice cream swirled with strawberry hibiscus sorbet. I am not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best desserts I've ever had. It was a busy night and it can get quite loud, but we'd absolutely come again. read more

Omg this has to be the best pizza in San Diego! Before this, Regents Pizza was my favorite, but this place easily takes the cake. Everything is SO FRESH and delicious. We got brussel sprouts, kale salad, and 3 different types of pizza. EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back to try more things. Service was also amazing, especially considering how busy it was, the server was still sooo attentive and so sweet. The place does get super busy so either make reservations or be prepared to wait a while to get seated, but it's 100% worth the wait! read more
An absolutely incredible pizza place that is a must try if you're in San Diego! The service is amazing, the ambiance is cool, but the pizzas are everything here! Each one is a "tribute" to a different region or place, hence the name Tribute Pizza, we found it to be very cool since we had been to some of the places associated with the "tributes". They also have two types of crusts and three types of size options, I personally wasn't a fan of the Square crust and would stick to their traditional Neapolitan style in either size. We were lucky to try several things here, see my breakdown of each dish below: 5/5 - Dirty Dancing Pizza: a tribute to Roberta in Brooklyn, NY. Organic crushed tomatoes, mors, shaved red onion, fresh jalapeño, fresh pineapple (not from a can), and a generous swirl of house made harissa zanoh. If you're a fan of sweet and spicy or unique flavors in general, then this is the pizza for you. I love jalapeno and pineapple on pizza and I also like when there's a nice house-made sauce that's different, this had it all, flavor bomb of deliciousness! 4.5/5 - Whitestone 2.0 Pizza: a white pie with garlic sauteed mushrooms, calabrian chile, mozzarella, ricotta, pecorino romano, amd fresh parsley. If you're a fan of white sauce pizzas or mushrooms, this was probably one of the best white sauce pizzas I've ever had, packed with Earthy flavors. 3/5 - Dye Another Day Pizza: triple saucy, with organic crushed tomato sauce, vodka sauce (organic tomatoes, roasted garlic and sweet onions, fresh cream, calabrian chile) and pesto genovese (contains pine nuts), aged mozzarella, parm, and pecorino. I personally love a triple sauce pizza, it's a rare option at pizza places and one of my favorites usually. However, this one was just very lacking in sauce for a pizza that's supposed to be triple saucy, it was actually mostly cheese with little streaks of sauce. I also wasn't a fan of their Square Grandma crust, it was fairly thin and not that fluffy, I preferred their original crust more, I'm not sure if that made a difference on how much sauce they put either. I would probably skip this one and try one of the other unique flavors here. 4/5 - Wood-Fired Focaccia Bread (w/ vodka sauce): fresh baked focaccia bread, the bread was pretty good, but the vodka sauce was the real star! 4.5/5 - Lilikoi Mai Tai: a delicious take on a Mai Tai with a really nice foam layer up top that complements the drink well, definitely on the sweeter side, but that's expected for a Mai Tai. 3.5/5 - Mango Vero: tequila, mezcal, mangoes, and chilies are all apart of this drink. Unfortunately it didn't really stand out flavor wise quite like I had hoped, but it was still not bad. We didn't have room for dessert, but I've heard excellent things about a few of their desserts too! Food: 4.5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 read more
This place was BUSY! But why? We tried to come the first time as a walk in but the wait was one hour. Even when we came right after they just opened. So we made the reservation for next time. There's no private parking, but there are plenty of street parking that you may have to walk at least one or two blocks away. They do have outdoor and indoor sitting, and they do have heaters for outdoor. I do have to say for how busy the place was the service was top-notch. And the food did come out pretty fast for the appetizers. Pizza would take at least 30 to 40 minutes and it does say that on the menu. Started out with garlic & cheese focaccia romana and brussels sprouts. Unfortunately, focaccia was disappointing. The cheese that was on top wasn't really a pull apart cheese, and it just didn't taste fresh. The sauce that came with was light red sauce, and it was better than the focaccia. yes On the brussels sprouts it was the best item I had at tribute Pizza. Even better than a pizza they serve served. It was crispy and the balsamic they have drizzled on top was top-notch. We've got two pizzas. Dye another day and hellboy. Dye another day- 2/5- i'm glad we added pepperoni on top of this because without it, it would've been a just plain saucy pizza. Also, it was very salty. Hellboy- 3/5- this one was better than the other Pizza, but not much better. I think the highlight of this Pizza was the hot honey. For dessert, we shared tiramisu. And it was a huge piece which we didn't finish all the way. But it was nothing special. They did offer us free ice cream for our celebration and hands signed card with all the staff. Which was a nice touch. For the price that you are paying for, I just wish their food was up to par. read more
I was visiting from out of town and was recommended Tribute by a friend. I had no idea the level of hype around this place so I didn't make a reservation. I stood inline for about 30mins when they opened and then told the wait was about an hour. They ended up setting up a table and offering to me about 20mins after. Service all around was excellent. Portion size are more than satisfying and are inline with prices. Coming from someone who grew up on the east coast, this pizza is the closest thing to NY style pizza you can get! The sauce wasn't overly sweet and tasted of fresh tomato. The crust was soft yet had the chew - perfect. read more

Pretty freaking bomb!! The service here was awesome and the food was delicious. I don't remember the name of the noodles we got but there were delicious. The pizza was also pretty fantastic. Sucks that we have to make a reservation every time we go but totally worth it. So yummy. I'd for sure go back. We sat outside so there wasn't much to look at since it was in between buildings but it didn't feel too crowded. I will say tho, we had to get a new water cup a couple of times due to gnats getting in our water. read more

If you're ever in SD and want to try some incredible Pizza I suggest you make reservations to "My GoTo spot" Tribute pizza. You will not be disappointed. Start of with some Woodfired Focaccia Bread (absolutely addicting) and a salad, I Kale, I Saw, I Conquered (very very tasty 9.8 or 10). Then order any of their pizzas. All of them are Great. I've tried Deep Dish Pepperoni (my favorite), Dye Another Day, and Mushroom Whitestone 2.0. Pizza Heaven.... The atmosphere is relaxing and has a great vibe. Order a tall boy (beer) and enjoy the moment. And to top it off my waitress was awesome. Knowing we were celebrating my Daughter's Graduation she surprised us with a slice of Tiramisu Cake..... We killed it within seconds that's how good it was read more
This place has been written about and talked up so much, that I was both excited to try it, yet ready for disappointment. While you can walk in here, reservations are very recommended and seem to book out far in advance especially on the weekends and during normal "eating times" The ambience here is wonderful, there is both outdoor and indoor seating, and it's a nice unique located in what was the old North Park Post Office, featuring the original signage and a nice open kitchen. The employees here are absolutely friendly and great with recommendations! On forth to the food! We started with the woodfired focaccia bread with 18-year balsamic vinegar of Modena and fancy California grown olive oil |$8, we added the "Fancy Butter" |$2. They have many other options to add on here as well. This focaccia was just so darned delicious and a perfect carrier for the balsamic and olive oil (which are available for purchase in bottles) I Kale, I saw, I conquered - farmer's market kale, house made 'betrayal of Caesar by the coward Brutus' dressing, preserved Meyer lemon, Calabrian chiles, parmigiano Reggiano, focaccia croutons, Aleppo pepper |$18 I am not a fan of Kale, but holy heck I was a fan of this Kale. I would 100% order this, every time! We also ordered some Pizza's: The Hellboy -organic crushed tomatoes, pickled sweet peppers, ricotta, soppressata salami, mike's hot honey, parmigiano Reggiano |$27 for a medium I expected this to be my favorite pizza out of the 3, I rank it #3 of the 3 that we ordered, and that is not saying it was bad, because it was delicious! Lady Diavola -organic crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, calabrese salami and fancy pepperoni, with mozzarella and caciocavallo (sharp smoked provolone), Calabrian Chile, Sicilian oregano, pecorino Romano |$27 for a medium This pizza clocked in as my favorite, my 1 of 3. Perfect balance between everything. The Tribute: The El Dorado -(this was the special menu pizza) a Christmas-time Cadillac Margherita on 22x, with fresh mozzarella, slow roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes, organic crushed tomato sauce, finished with a whole ball of burrata, basil infused olive oil, fresh basil and a veritable snowstorm of micro planed pecorino Romano and parm Reggiano |$27 for a medium And the specialty was a close second for me, that Burrata almost won me over, almost. This is an amazing pie! A few private reserve egg nogs were ordered at the table, and while I only tasted a sip, it was AHHHmazing | $18 and a few Hop Father's from Russian River | $10 I cannot wait to go back! read more
Been here twice now and tried different pizzas each time. So far my favorite has been the Lady Diavola, which we got grandma style and it was insane! I think grandma style is the best here, the Neopolitan gets soggy with the toppings but it's still really good! The focaccia with burrata and Calabrian chili is INSANE! Wow, i was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. That is a must get every time read more

Do you offer non-pork proteins... chicken, beef to add on the pizza?
All of our current pizza proteins (pepperoni, soppressata, calabrese salami, bacon, prosciutto, etc.) are pork-based.…

Yes, they definitely do
Do you offer any delivery through 3rd party?
Apologies, we do not. We offer takeout via order.tributepizza.com and in person, but we do not offer delivery.
Want to try here but wondering if it is common to get what looks like burnt pizzas (black crusts)?
Our pizzas are baked in a woodfired oven, so they often have a little char which gets mistaken once in a while for being burnt. You're welcome to request your pizza without that characteristic, and we'll do our best to accommodate!
Question for the owner, is the gluten free crust made in-house?
Hi! Is all the cheese on your pizza pasteurized?
All of the cheeses on our pizzas are pasteurized! The cheeses on our cheese and charcuterie board rotate semi-regularly, but at this exact moment, yes, they all are... Items containing raw / unpasteurized cheeses would be notated as such in an…

Where to park?
There's street parking or pay to park at the north park garage on 29th and North Park Way.
Can you only order vodka sauce pizza on line or is it available in the store?
It's not printed on the in-store menu which is why it's "online order only" but ask your server, we're happy to make it for you for in-house, too!
Is it kid friendly ? I always go to waypoint down the street because of the little play area for the little ones .
There was a kids birthday party going on while I was there :) no play area though

We do have a 55" 4K TV in our bar area, where we tune in to sports, including football on Thursdays and Sundays. That said, we don't have any special package to get all the games.

Our traditional pizza dough is in fact soy free, but our gluten free dough does have a small amount of soy.
What are the ingredients of the GF crust? We have severe allergies in my family and we're planning a trip to SD!
I'm not sure maybe look at the menu and they probably have a allergy page you can find the answer too !
