Best Pizza in San Diego

We ordered the White pizza and added chicken, and also ordered the Lasagna pizza. Both pizzas were very good but I think the lasagna was my favorite. The restaurant is clean and neat with plenty of seating both inside and out. The staff is very friendly and greater us when we came in. This is the type of place you ... order at the counter and they bring you the food. The pop/ soft drinks are coke products and they a serve you cans and not fountain drinks. They also have 5 gelato flavors that look great but I didn’t try them this time. Great place and I would definitely put it on your list to visit. Read More

We had an amazing experience with Criscito Pizza at our wedding! They were easy to work with, very professional, and even showed up early to get everything set up and ready to go. Our guests absolutely loved the pizza, especially watching it being wood-fired right in the parking lot — it was such a fun and unique ... touch to the evening. We kept getting so many compliments about the food throughout the night! Highly recommend Criscito Pizza for any event, delicious pizza, great team, and top-notch service! Read More

If you love Neapolitan pizza - the soft thin dough, the puffy crust with its polite char - then this spot is for you. There are so many options on the menu for flavor combinations that everyone will eat happy. We ordered take-out, and drove the pizzas 10-minutes to home. The crusts, both NY and Neapolitan style, made ... it home, out of the boxes and into our bellies without a single critique. We loved the white pizza, margherita, lasagna and pepperoni, and they have a cheese option for kids that our preschooler devoured. Our star? The chop salad! Of all the items, which we loved, the most unexpected was just how good the chop salad is. The quality ingredients do not stop at the pizza, and the dressing for this one I’ll be dreaming about how to recreate when we’re back home in Canada. Criscito’s neighbors are so lucky! Read More

Great pizza and gelato! We had stumbled across this place and are so glad we did! It's now our favorite pizza spot. The Neopolitan-style crust is sooo good! It so soft, delicious, and wonderful every time. The service is awesome, too. They're so friendly and welcoming. And the place has such a chill atmosphere with ... Italian coast vibes. It's like an Italian vacation spot in San Diego, so relaxing. The Neopolitan-style crust and pizza cheeses are SO good, especially their ricotta! The ricotta is sweet and fluffy. I've never experienced it anywhere. It makes the pizza extra delicious. And the basil on top is a great touch, so good too. The pizza goes especially great with the San Pelligrino limonata. And if you're looking for dessert, the gelato is so refreshing. They change their flavors every so often to give new options to try. Love everything about this place! Read More

Very friendly and helpful staff! Quick to pick up over the phone and put in an order, and also has plenty of mobile pickup options with a variety of customizations. And the pizza is super tasty. It tastes fresh and the crust is great, not a tasteless afterthought as many pizza places tend to make it.

Great pizza. They specialize in two types of doughs: NY style and Neapolitan. Both are amazing, but the NY style crust does hold up a bit better in the pizza box. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Overall very good pizza! They also serve gelato, although I've yet to try it.

Criscito Pizza is hands down the best pizza and gelato spot in San Diego! From the moment you walk in, you’re transported straight to the Amalfi Coast – the atmosphere is cozy, authentic, and full of charm. The pizza is absolutely incredible. Criscito has mastered the Neapolitan style crust and uses high-quality ... ingredients bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the honey, basil, garlic pizza. I’ve never had anything like it and now it's a constant craving! The pizza, salad, gelato, and service are all 10/10!!! If you're in SD and you’re craving authentic Italian pizza and gelato, Criscito is a must-visit! Read More

What a great pizza place for the neighborhood. I got a mushroom truffle NY style pizza and Neapolitan style Pizza and it’s so good. I like the Neapolitan style more bc it’s so chewy and light. I highly recommend this place and I will be back to try other flavors

I'm a huge fan of Criscitos!! They catered my wedding about a year ago before opening this restaurant so I knew I had to check it out! The restaurant is beautiful and everything tastes delicious just as it did when we got their catering. Their menu is fresh and inventive, and their staff is friendly and helpful. I ... ordered the fig and honey pizza, it was incredible! I would say 1 pizza feeds 2 people. They also have gelato and it's superb!! We got the berry with mini chocolate chips. I would highly recommend Criscitos for their catering as well as their restaurant! Read More
