usually don’t write reviews until I’ve tried a place multiple times and sampled different menu items. That was the case with Far Corner Pizza. I’ve visited a few times since they opened, hoping things would improve — but unfortunately, they haven’t.
On my first visit, I ordered a salad and built my own pizza. I have to say, it was one of the worst pizzas I’ve had. The cocktail selection was mediocre at best, and the drinks were just average. As for the food, the only redeeming quality was the pizza dough — but even that was overwhelmed by the amount of salt used. Every bite tasted overly salty.
Even the 16-inch pizza, which is a good size for sharing, arrived soggy and overcooked. I don’t understand how something so simple can be so poorly executed. Yesterday, I gave it another chance and tried the vegetarian pizza — which shockingly had pepperoni on it. It was absolutely awful. I couldn’t taste the mushrooms or vegetables at all; everything was drowned in salty cheese. The presentation looked fine, but the flavor was just terrible.
I used to love this location when it was owned by the previous team — they served rustic, simple, and delicious pizza. I’ve heard the new owner might be the son of the former owner, but whatever changes have been made, they haven’t been for the better. Unless they seriously improve the food, I don’t see this place lasting.
There’s nothing here to crave or look forward to. Sadly, it’s just not worth your...
Read moreLong wait for no pizza!!
We stopped here to grab some pizza before the Padres game. We were the first ones there at 11 a.m. & ordered two cheese pizzas. We had some friends arrive a bit later who ordered two additional pizzas. Their pizzas arrived before the cheese pizzas, so we asked the waiter, Casey, how long until the cheese pizzas would be out. He said “in a few minutes.”
The place got a lot busier and we waited for another 30 minutes before asking the waiter where the pizzas are. He said he didn’t place the order but could have those fired out “really quick.” We waited another 30 minutes until we asked him again. He said he had not placed the order.
At that point, it was 12:30 p.m. and the game started at 1 p.m. So, we told him to forget about the pizzas. My three family members with dietary restrictions were starving when we left because they didn’t get their pizzas that we waited 1.5 hours for.
We didn’t feel like the restaurant cared at all about the fact we waited so long because there was no apology, no accountability, nothing! Terrible service. The pizza we did get was okay, but nothing worth waiting that long for. I don’t think we’ll be...
Read moreFar Corner - A Hidden Gem Near the Padres Stadium
Just steps away from the Padres stadium, Far Corner is a new downtown pizza spot that's already making a name for itself. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, the service is warm, and everything feels thoughtfully put together.
What really sets Far Corner apart is their commitment to fresh ingredients--you can taste it in every bite. Their pizza menu is creative without trying too hard, and the star of the show is definitely the Almost Too Far pizza. It's a brilliant mix of sweet and savory, loaded with crispy pepperonis and drizzled with honey. It's the kind of flavor combo that makes you pause mid-bite and say, "Whoa."
The cocktails are just as impressive--balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you're pre-gaming before a Padres game or just looking for a solid night out, this place has you covered.
I'll absolutely be back soon. Far Corner hits all the right notes: killer food, good drinks, great location, and a team that knows how to treat their guests right. The chef stopped by our table to chat with us, and he is a San Diego...
