Pauly's Pizza Joint

Christian Knowlden-Berry

If you’re looking for a place that serves mouthwatering food with a side of genuine hospitality, Paul’s Pizza Joint is it! From the moment you walk in, the warm, family-friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and quick to make sure you have everything you need. Plus, they proudly offer a military discount, which speaks volumes about their appreciation for those who serve. The food? Absolutely amazing. The pepperoni pizza is the perfect balance of crispy crust, gooey cheese, and flavorful toppings. The calzone is golden-brown perfection, stuffed with cheesy goodness and served with rich marinara sauce and even the side salad is fresh and satisfying. Whether you’re grabbing dinner with the family, hanging out with friends, or just craving some of the best pizza in town, Paul’s delivers every time. Great food, great people, great vibes.

They offer fantastic pizza pies and pizza by the slice. Plenty of variety. Small dining area. Tight parking. The woman taking my order has sterling personality, greeted everyone, and created a wonderful vibe. I will definitely be returning with my whole crew 🦜🏴‍☠️ Yar!!

Went with my friend after Work and man that was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. For sure some of the best here in SD. The staff was so cool and friendly. She was telling us some History of the restaurant. Cool little spot inside too. Must try if you love pizza.

Hidden gem. Laid back atmosphere. A good variety of food and drinks. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza, and a pepperoni and jalapeño. They were full of flavor and the sauce was amazing. The owner was very friendly and a great conversationalist. Had a great first experience will be back again!

This is an amazing, wholesome, small business owned pizza joint! We ended up getting an 18” spinage a trois which we loved and definitely tasted super authentic! We could tell from just dining in here for an hour that this place is frequented by many regulars, most of the customers are on a first name basis with the workers/owner. Definitely felt cozy and homey which is hard to come by these days. Also they gave us an extra cheese pizza (a whole pizza) free of charge because they apparently made it lopsided originally but it was still delicious haha they even made an effort to ask if we have an oven to reheat it so they could make it slightly half cooked and we can reheat the pizza without it getting overcooked. Definitely will be back and highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place! Great pizza (the BBQ chicken & the pesto are the best!) And with everything getting so expensive these days, only charging 15 bucks for two big slices and a beer 🍺 is Awesome!

Great place to grab couple slices. Star is supper friendly! My daughter loves the cheese slice. We definitely coming back for more pizza.

We found this place shortly after we moved to SD...the pizza is fantastic, and the staff is amazing. They take pride in their work, and it shows.

Absolutely excellent pizza, flavorful, great quality cheese, tasty sauce and perfect dough. Our family has eaten pizza all over the world and this is probably a top 5 favorite for us. Can’t say enough good things about the service, I believe the owner waited on us, truly kind and quick service. Don’t skip on trying the ranch dressing! Look forward to coming back on our next trip to the area! Also.. very reasonably priced 👍🏼

Call me basic but their cheese only and pepperoni pizza was delicious! It wasn't too salty and the mild sweetness of the tomato sauce was just right. The lady at the counter and the guy who made my pizza were very kind and welcoming as well. Will definitely come back again.

We got the bbq chicken, pesto, and margharita pizzas with ranch, garlic aioli, and chipotle sauces. Everything was delicious and fresh and I’m excited to try their other flavors! And the customer service was amazing. The staff is so kind and welcoming, making a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Pauly’s Pizza!

Amaizing service! Ordered ahead 12hours, I arrived a bit early the following day, they had my order complete and ready to go If you thinking about ordering for events, office lunch or just want some amazing pizza and service. Pauly's Pizza Joint is the place!

FOOD IS EPIC!!! I am from our of town sovi eat out a lot and this place is a hidden gem. I came in for a meatball sandwich and there was one slice of pepperoni pizza left so I got it while I waited. It's thin new York style and it was as crispy in the middle as it was at the crust. No soggy parts anywhere. The dough is made every morning and the whole crew has been there since it opened 17 years ago. The young lady that helped me was amazing. Try them out and thank me later.

Great Service, Came in late close to closing ours, and they went out of their way to accommodate me. Really friendly staff and delicious pizza! Plus the owner is a local legend(seen on fox news).

Fire! In SD for a softball tournament and ordered for our room. Best NY pizza I’ve had in a long time. Great crust, great taste! TY

Phenomenal all the way around. You need to try this place! We had pizza, wings, and gelato and it was all 10/10. Plus the customer service was amazing, huge shoutout to Cisco.

I love this place, the pizza is delicious! My coworkers and myself always crave this place and try to pitch in some money once a week to share a Pizza from Pauly's. This Place has never let me down.

I moved to San Diego from NJ and have been looking for really good NY style pizza for a year now, this is the best freaking pizza Ive had here so far, it tastes just like how they make it on the east coast, everything was fresh and cooked perfectly, oh and my buffalo wings? My favorite wings EVER. Everyone who works there is sweet and welcoming, if you want good pizza go here

Susan Lee

Absolutely does NY style pizza justice! So glad to have found such a place in San Diego. Good variety and quality of slices. staff are also nice! One of my faves that they occasionally have is the habanero chicken bacon ranch

It’s fast and delicious. However, I may need to ask for a side of marinara because last time I checked. Pizza usually has sauce anytime I’ve ever bit into a slice. But this place was lacking in the sauce department, there’s multiple slices to choose from. But I either got unlucky or this is the way it is. The crust isn’t too bad but I can tell the slices have been laying there for awhile. So for 2 big slices and a can of soda ( $10 ) isn’t too bad

It’s a traditional New York pizza, you pick a slice to heat it up and you’re on your way. For years, this has been one of my favorite spots. Pizza usually has a good variety and a lot of the side, especially the gelato are amazing. But the pieces are a little smaller than they used to be. And although there’s many times I’ve enjoyed this place, like all good things.. It’s coming to an end. It’s not just a higher prices or the hidden service fees. (Not marked anywhere on the menu ) Although I understand rising cost. Are two slices of pizza and the can soda are now worth 15 bucks? But the Service seems to bark at you& the quality is not exactly as good as it used to be. Although there are still some exceptional things available. Now, I’ve know That even your favorite restaurants, you can have a bad experience, Once in a great while. But what happens when you just have four or five mediocre ones… well for me…. I think you just stop going.

Ordered 2 large pies thin crust one of them with double toppings. Im from Chicago so my expectation is a little high. $21 dollars for each pie plus extra toppings $61. There was almost NO toppings on the pizza. Literally it was a cheese pizza crust was soggy tasted pre frozen. Very very disappointed. This was a fair and very honest review
