    I think the show's format with the music choice + b-roll combo is unmatched. I'm tired of the ubiquitous license free hip hop/trap beats in all the other videos on RUclips these days. good pacing, lo-fi/jazzy beat in the background behind the dialogue is *chefs kiss*. This channel captures the SD essence. good work

    I was born in San Diego in 1980 and lived in Kensington. when it comes to the best there is none other than Venice Pizza House on El Cajon Blvd. Since 1954. It makes me sad its not on your list. I recommend "The Works" or the #12 as it used to be referred to. I now live in Murrieta, CA and I will not hesitate to drive the 70 miles to get that pizza.

    The problem I found in San Diego is no consistency in the pizzas. One is the pizza can be great for a little while then next can be not so great. Like when new owners take over and they try to maximize profits by skimping on ingredients while charging more for the pizza. It's like a hit or miss game.

    I'd pick Bronx Pizza as my, 'I need a real NY slice', it looks spot on. I'd love an Italian beef from Lefty's, (Chicago has fantastic thin crust/square cut, super yummy). That bacon potato looked to die for, the pesto punch as well. When you described Squares, I can imagine that pillowy lightness vesseling those tomatoes and cheese and basil... If you're ever up north, Golden Boy delivers that amazing pillowy goodness with each bite a flavor bomb, clams and garlic. It's perfect.
    I love yummy food and I love pizza, right next to classic deli heros/hoagies/subs, whatever you like to call them. A great slice, Bronx Pizza for this show, can sit right next to a great sandwich with no problems whatsoever. They're best friends for life. 🤗👍🤌🌻

    Mom's Pizza Sorrento Valley had a focaccia-like crust that's to die for. Pauly's Pizza Joint for NY style (get their Christmas Pie) and BLAH (Blind Lady Ale House) for the greatest small artisan pizzas.

    Bronx Pizza, URB Pizza, and Lefty's looked BOMB. Not a big fan of Neopolitan style pizza. I know. I know. It's the closest thing to "real" pizza, but I'm more of an American pizza connoisseur. Both pies from URB looked so delicious. Will definitely hit 'em up next time I'm in Daygo. Thanks again, G.

    Lol, the conversational interactions in this video were superb, lol, 😁😁😭. Also, places 2,3 & 5 looked,👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽. I’d definitely try the 2nd one if it’s non-gmo et I absolutely spotted what looked like some handcrafted artisan beer at the 3rd location. I seldom drink beer but know plenty of amis who would love that. Overall, fun video hun, 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💕💕✊🏽

    You guys mentioned Luigi in the beginning but why didn't you actually go to Luigi's Pizzeria???🤷‍♀️ Their pizza is HANDS DOWN the best pizza in San Diego. You guys missed out. And the girl behind the counter at lunch is hilarious! Always dancing and singing as she hands us our pizza:) We have a great time and their style is unique as well, woulda been a great addition to your list:)

      Luigi and Bronx are as close to a coin flip as it gets imo, nearly identical pies . Wouldn’t make sense to go there if they’re only hitting 5 spots.

      ​@aloeup2121 Exactly. Luigi worked at the Bronx and learned it like the back of his hand and replicated it with his own company. People that say Lugi's probably went when they were hungrier 😂

    I’ve tried the 4 out of the 5. Buona Forchetta is by far my favorite. That’s if you’re into authentic Italian style pizza. Basic pizza is okay IMO. I haven’t been to square pizza but that’s because I tend to stay away from PB. 😂

    I’m a born and raised New Yorker, now living in CA. Go up the coast a little to Solana Beach and go to Borgiornos on Steven’s Ave. owned by 2 New Yorkers. When my mother from NY visited me she would always make me stop there before going to my house. They sell pizza by the slice. My fav Sausage and Pepperoni. Try one of their Stromboli’s
