Bronx pizza is a tradition for my daughter and I, and now her fiance has joined us in this. This is what a pizza place should be; great pizza, decent prices, great service. We were heartbroken to learn of Smitty's passing. He was a great guy and the banter between him and my daughter was easy and entertaining. He went out of his way to be kind, despite the gruff exterior, and made us feel like family. He will be so missed. Back to the pizza: don't sleep on the ricotta! It makes every pie better. I would have just a cheese pizza with ricotta if not for my daughter's love of pepperoni, it's that good. I wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of the beverage fountain, but that isn't going to deter us. If you want a really delicious pizza at a really reasonable price, this is your place. Easily better than the overpriced, half as delicious choices elsewhere!
Bronx Pizza has very good Pizza!! Big slices, reasonable prices, and great service. Cool decor too! Cash only
This place is buzzing! It's quite busy so there's a bit of a wait but the atmosphere made it not a problem at all. The people working and the other customers were all very friendly and I had a super fun time! Also, the food is amazing! And very well priced. Just be aware that they are CASH ONLY. They have an ATM inside the building but I'd bring cash with you so you don't have to hassle with it.
These are New Yorkers, so, if you’re expecting to be greeted with warm and fuzzy kindness, you will be sorely disappointed. They are there to sell you pizza and that is it. The disappointing thing is that they got rid of the soda fountain and just give you cans. I’ve been going to this location for 25 years.
Edit 09/16/2023 (10 months after the original review below) - Had a few more slices here the other day, and the pizza is still amazing. They are definitely consistent as far as quality. Service is also amazing and very friendly.
So, today I tried Pizzeria Luigi in South Park which is supposed to be Bronx’s competitor when it comes to a good NY slice.
I’ll leave a more thorough review on their page about my experience, but I just wanna say for anyone looking up reviews for
both places because they don’t know where to go, go to Bronx. It’s significantly better.
ORIGINAL - As someone born and raised in Jersey, my biggest fear with relocating to SD was that I wouldn’t have good pizza at my disposal. Thank you, Bronx Pizza, I can now move here and have a little taste of home away from home.
The pizza was SO good. I ordered one slice of pepperoni (asked for it crispy). It was delicious!!! Cheese to sauce ratio was on point. Crust was really good as well.
A few bites into my slice, I went back and ordered two more! Highly recommend this place. My only complaint is they aren’t on DoorDash and only take cash. (There is an ATM there in case you don’t come prepared.)
Literally one of the best pizza places in the world! If you know a better pizza place in Southern California please show me! The staff is super friendly. The location is pretty amazing. Not very far from the freeway. Parking can be a bit challenging, but it's well worth the effort. It is in a great part of the city, and there are always friendly people nearby. Grab a slice, or a whole pie! The price is extremely fair! I love this place!
Great pizza hot crisp delicious.
Bathroom in back.
Grab at counter inside or to go at window for pickup.
Parking on street can be tough.
Tables might not be cleaned but there are napkins
One bite, everyone knows the rules. Pizza was spectacular. Ordered a slice that was already made and waiting and a fresh pie for the family. My Fresh pie was crispy and the sauce/cheese was great, the one sitting around for a bit and reheated was not as good, still worth the money. The location is rough, not much parking and it's cash only which is inconvenient.
Overall score by pizza alone: 8.1
This place is amazing! Best pizza in California.
The staff is friendly. The price was great. $20 for a whole pizza. The atmosphere is great too and the place was clean. I definitely recommend Bronx pizza for a new york style pizza.
Great NY style pizza in SD, if you love thin crust, this is definitely your place! The place is CASH ONLY but they have an ATM inside. Just have your dollars ready.
After a hike of Cowles Mountain, some friends and I treated ourselves to Bronx Pizza. I'm lucky enough to live in the neighborhood, so this is a great, occasional treat. We always get the Bronx Deluxe, their version of a Supreme Pizza. They only make one size if you get the whole pie, but they also sell by the slice. One Bronx Deluxe and a salad each was a perfect size meal for three. Delicious as always! One important note is that Bronx is cash only, so prepare ahead. The menu, the service, and the restaurant are very simple. Not fine-dining; just a good evening out with friends.
Pizza taste amazing I would recommend going here. This place is so awesome. You guys need to try some of this pizza. This pizza is just so good. I’ll come here every day if I could
Love this place!! Been coming here for about 25 years when I first heard about it! Best pizza in San Diego.
I was very sad to hear that Seth, who was pretty much a permanent fixture there, passed away. I will miss his smile and his kindness. I think you should put some kind of tribute to him somewhere in the restaurant. I would still like to see his smiling face when I come in there. He will be truly missed.

Hands high and thumbs all the way up for this spot. When i meet people that haven’t tried this spot I always mention this place. Always fresh and always ready when you expect it. Call in orders are the best. Love the thin crisp and the sauce is the best. Thanks for providing the best pizza in the city.
Decided to take a drive out from OC to try this spot on a random Sunday. So worth the drive!!! Plenty of indoor seating, staff was awesome, pizza crust was amazing, and prices are great!! Parking might be tough, but we were able to find street parking fairly quick. Planning another trip back on a weeknight to avoid traffic👍🏽
The most traditional New York pieces you are going to find. This place is amazing! Friendly staff everybody gets along. The pizza is amazing! Everything is fresh and made in house. You can absolutely tell by how fresh the ingredients are. This is a lively hotspot and is strongly recommended to anybody in the San Diego area if you want pizza.
2 words. CASH ONLY. Ordered the Bronx delux Pizza and also the goat cheese pizza and they were both pretty good. This place is well known for their thin crust pizza so I had high expectations on their crusts. I would say that the crust was crunchy and thin but it was not as flavorful as I expected. Ingredients they used were also so-so. Will come back to try other kinds of pizza hopefully to change this review to 5 stars.
definitely a great local pizza spot. so good! four cheese pizza is delicious - can taste all 4 cheeses. fyi - not a lot of sauce or crust tho. mozzarella sticks were on point and the seasoning they put on the fries are ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Bronx Pizza deserves the commendation made by fellow google local guides: Best NY PIZZA OUTSIDE OF NY and BEST PIZZA IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. We got the Whitestone and Primavera (Boxes) and we absolutely loved it! It’s my first time here and boy, my first visit did not disappoint.
Couple of things that you need to be reminded:
- Cash payment only
- Parking can be tough
