Had the fabulous opportunity to meet up with colleagues and celebrate a bday with them! Wheat & Water has just the greatest atmosphere, kind staff and such delicious food that the good times were flowing! Great location in Birdrock on La Jolla Blvd. super close to the beach and in the heart of everything Birdrock has to offer. Such awesome indoor/outdoor seating as well. It’s a must try!

We LOVE Wheat & Water! The pizza is one of a kind and super authentic. The staff that waited on us, Rebecca & Peyton both made our experience fantastic. They are kind and very experienced! We highly recommend coming here for a local and delicious experience in San Diego! We can’t wait to come back with our friends!

My wife and I LOVE this place, the pizza is pretty darn good for west coast pizza ;) and the staff is always super chill. Great place to grab a brew and catch a baseball game or sip wine and enjoy a sunset on the patio.

Such a great asset to Birdrock and La Jolla. The food is great. The service is attentive. The beer selection is on point and the drinks are fun. The layout works great as both a bar and a family restaurant. I’m a fan.

Ordered a large pick up the day after bird rock festival and there was a miscommunication about the order. It was immediately handled, food prepared, brought out and with incredible kindness and grace. Thank you SO much!

Had a weekday daytime lunch. The Asian chop salad was delicious and the drink selection didn't disappoint. Staff was great too.

This is my neighborhood favorite spot. Their Caesar salad and brick oven pizzas are delicious!!! Recently tried the baked potato pizza for the first time and it was phenomenal. We were fighting over the last slice. Appropriate colder month dish! I must admit, I’m less adventurous on pizzas and prefer to stay traditional, but it’s a must try. We got it without bacon since my friend is vegetarian and she was raving about it.

My husband and I decided to host our family dinner at Wheat and Water after our small wedding ceremony and the entire experience was beyond AMAZING! I was in contact with Whitney via email for months and she always answered all our questions and concerns, she reassured us everything would work out and she exceeded our expectations. We were in their private patio area, which is decorated so beautifully, perfect for hosting a gathering. Whitney personally took care of us and our family and she was so sweet and patient with us. Food was great and fast service. They even cut our two cakes we brought in! Special thank you to WHITNEY and her team for taking such good care of us from start to finish. I highly recommend this establishment if you’re looking to host family or even just go out to dinner. Food and service were perfect!

The energetic Vibe here is so fun. The food and service is great. I had gluten-free pizza. Mackenzie the bartender was wonderful. I'll definitely go back

Stopped by for a quick bite with the little one. Kind folks, very helpful. Everything we had was good (I was partial to the old fashioned). Definitely will be returning, thank you!

I am not really a pizza person but Wheat and Water was wonderful! The crust is very delicious and everything was well seasoned. The service was nice and the restaurant is a great spot to watch any game night with TVs on most walls. The buffalo wings were super crispy and enough spice to make your nose run and still delicious! The drinks were too dry for our taste but at least you get your moneys worth in alcohol. The mozzarella cheese on our margarita pizza was not melted which made it tough and over powered to pizza. Overall though we will be coming back.

We decided to try this place, as we were in the area and looking for a beverage and a bite. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, and the service was good. Menus are still QR code-only, which is meh. We went with an order of Brussels sprouts, which were acceptably tasty, but honestly, among the oiliest I’ve ever had. I don’t feel that the prices match the quality of the food. A side of French fries is $12! If you’re in the area, I’d recommend, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

I had reserved a table for outside dining at 6:30pm (perfect for that cool late spring evening). The patio was nice with high-top table stools that gives you a view of the main drag. Note: watch out for the table splinters catching your clothing There is an extensive beers on tap list and pretty good list of wines by the glass (although pricey compared to other places). The pizzas were well-prepared and the combos were compelling.

The pizza was delicious there beet salad was too. Great selection of beers and atmosphere was great

I went with my coworkers. We got a reservation at 7 on a Thursday, not realizing that they close at 8. We did have to order quickly, but they didn't rush us to eat and get out. I am vegan, so this wouldn't have been my top pick based off of the menu, but my coworkers chose the place, and sometimes restaurants do well with their accommodations. Out of the appetizers we ordered, I could eat the house salad and the brussel sprouts without cheese. The salad was okay but needed more dressing. The brussel sprouts were actually pretty good although they were a touch overcooked. For my main they were able to make me a veggie pizza without cheese. I have had good, flavorful pizzas without cheese, but this wasn't one of them. The veggies were just cut up and tossed on with no thought. No color on them. No seasoning. Bland and boring. Solid three stars.

We went with our family for dinner, granted it was a large group. The pizza was ok and the bacon burger was tasty. The waiter was very soft spoken and did a fair job. Ask me if I wanted a refill on my drink twice, I said yes twice but it never materialized. At time to pay the bill we asked if he could split the bill amongst the family groups of three to four people he said no he couldn’t do that but said “ so split the check into 4 quarters. I ended paying $148 for a 1 pizza, 1 burger and two drinks. Way over priced for mediocre food.

Dined on the dog-friendly patio tonight. Hostess was really nice but unfriendly server negatively impacted the experience. Food was mediocre - the $18 Hamachi Crudo was disappointingly small, and the Potato Pizza was just okay. Poor value for money combined with rude/subpar service makes this an unlikely return visit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
