What People Are Saying About Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria

In Short – Craving an authentic Windy City meal? Hit up this corner pizza joint where hungry crowds dine on thick- or thin-crust pizzas and Chicago dogs. The deep dish is a perfect combination of crisp cornmeal crust, chunky tomato sauce and creamy cheese; choose from several available toppings, including homemade sausage or a blend of spicy peppers. After day four of pizza, switch up and order the chopped chicken salad with bacon, blue cheese and avocado. –

Best Pizza in SD
by NickyJ
This is easily the best place for pizza in San Diego. I've been there a few times now and although I haven't tried the thin crust yet, the deep dish is great. The service has always been good and for the size of the slices, the price isn't bad at all. The crust is very flavorful but peraps a little more crispy than I originally expected, but I figure it has to be that way to hold the pizza together.
- Pros: Great pizza, Chicago sports atmosphere
- Cons: None

great pizza
by tonyginsd
This is some seriously good pizza!! The cheese has great taste, the pizza sauce has great flavor, then the meats, generally I am not the biggest fan of Italian Sausage, but even that was quite tasty. I havent had this good of pizza since Giordano's in Chicago. The service was very friendly, in fact, the only knock on it is the seating, that is a bit limited, but very very worth that minor inconvienence.
- Pros: cheese, meats, sauce, crust
- Cons: seating

Expensive and an angry staff
by uv777gr
Tried this place after hearing its an "authentic Chicago" pizza joint. Well I'm from the east coast and this is not spectacular pizza in any way, In fact I spent 30 bucks on a large stuffed pizza that had crust as hard as concrete and the staff actually seemed pretty angry at me when I ordered it and picked it up. I know they probably get really busy some times, but thats not an excuse to breath heavy and sigh on the phone when I order a fricken stuffed pizza. Also I believe my pizza was taken out of the slices section due to it being hard and tasting old. 2 thumbs down for this pizza spirit breaker.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Expensive and not fresh
