Bronx Pizza — Restaurant in San Diego

When we are in town we will always check out place that positions itself as "Authentic New York Pizza". So when we heard about Bronx we took a drive from our downtown hotel into upper town San Diego sub-urban neighborhood where this hole-in-the-wall pizzeria is located. Once we found a parking spot after 15 min. looking around we noticed there was a line out the door. That's always a good sign. Upon entering had a New York vibe and menu board. Pies are in the front display case so you can instantly see what you are ordering. We went with their 2-slice, soda special for $7 each for the two of us. 2 pepperoni, 1 Porko and 1 cheese (with 2 sodas). They cut slices from the pies in the display case and throw them back into a oven to reheat, similar to Sbarro. We waited what seemed like an eternity for them. Finally got the slices but extremely hot so don't burn yourself getting over-excited to bite into them! Very good parmesan on the table so use it. The pizza---excellent ingredients, nice oily texture as you would expect from a NY slice but after that kind veers off the NY style track. The crust was so-so flavor(probably because they don't have NY water to make the dough) and bottom was a bit too crisp, almost cracker-like. This makes it difficult to fold the slice in half in typical NY fashion. I think was in the oven reheating too long. Recommend they cut back the reheat time by 1 1/2 min.. Overall a solid pizza contender but not NY style so don't kid yourself if that is the expectation in coming to this place. Still very much recommend it as WAY better than any chain. * 2 warnings * 1. They only take cash. 2. Parking is terrible in this area so plan on looking a while for a parking spot where you...

Their quality has significantly gone down over the years especially after pandemic. Pizza is decent enough to eat but NY should be offended. It's a waste of your time standing in line and definitely not worth stopping by an atm for mediocre pizza.

If you are looking for good pizza and a fun time in the same neighborhood go to Sister's Pizza (3 min drive or 10 min walk) - they have a great patio seating area over this place. They also take credit card. Hidden gem in San Diego.

The only SD pizza joint that deserves to claim NY style is REGENTS PIZZERIA! BEST NY pizza in San Diego truly is Regents Pizzeria (15 min drive up the 5 north). They also take credit card and have ample parking. Regents has a ton of local beers on rotation to enjoy your pizza with. Good vibe and fun spot that all locals love. I don’t think the owners are from NY but at least they can replicate NY pizza better.
