Gnarly Girl Pizza — Restaurant in San Diego

This pizza was actually good but the man working behind the counter with the man bun and beard was extremely rude to my husband who is black which at first I excused as him just having a bad day but as we sat in the restaurant I noticed that he acted extremely different to all the other customers. First, he didn’t say welcome in but gave a warm welcome to all the other customers. I even noticed another group of black men walk in that he ignored as well. Also when my husband approached the counter the man stood away from the counter and stared my husband down until my husband was uncomfortable and asked if he could order. He was very short with my husband and had a bit of an attitude when my husband didn’t know the name of a pizza because there was no placard next to it. Also when our order was ready the man threw it down on the counter and just said “slices for here” but with all of the white customers he cheerfully called out their names and walked the pizza to their table for them. Additionally I watched him grab his cellphone and text and then handle the pizza without washing his hands multiple times. I was so excited to try this spot but I definitely won’t be back due to the customer service and...

First off the service was not so great. The guy at the front with the long hair looks like he doesn’t even want to be there. Was our first time there..was not welcomed in. Was not asked if I have any questions. Tried 4 different slices of Pizza it was ok. I give it a 5/10. I saw someone at a different table get The garlic Knott roll pizza looked super good & fresh. sad I didn’t order that (if the guy at the front would’ve suggested it & said it’s popular I would’ve ordered it) atmosphere was pretty cool the art on the walls & the gnarly girl sign very cute. There where a few flies flying around I kept having to smack them away from my pizza & fruit flies too..also had a salad..def have to get a better swing door that closes to avoid flies from coming in. I am a HUGE pizza fan & The salad was honestly...

Mel, the owner, is magnamimous and customer service friendly and accommodating. She comped me a large specialty pizza when their payment system didn’t accept a promo code at the register, and instead inadvertently gift credited me for the pie. So I want to give her public props for her generosity. Thanks, Mel! It’s my second time there in 3 days. I plan to be back many more times. Really dig how they serve by the slice AND have a full separate menu board of vegetarian items. I think they’re the only pizza joint with this setup. Plus non-alcoholic beers too along with the regular tap and bottled stuff. Your pizza place is nicely located and has a loaded menu with creative varieties as options for the customer. And the Rabbit Food Pizza was satisfying too. Will try the knotted crust...
