I am glad we found this little hole-in-the-wall gem. Lefty’s has a Chicago flair, and is as unpretentious as it gets. They serve pizza by the slice, loaded fries, sandwiches and salads. A slice of the deep dish was sufficient for a meal, the combo Chicago beef & sausage sandwich was very good and plenty for two. Wait staff was fantastic and gave us some great recommendations for places to try.

BOMB! Quirky little place serving up some delicious pizza and other Chicago style treats. The deep dish pizza is on-point with the perfect crust-to-cheese-to-sauce ratio. The meat balls are tender and just amazing. Service was super helpful and friendly. Such a great little place.

Had onion rings mozzarella sticks and a wall to wall sausage deep dish pizza. The rings and mozz were hot and crispy and the sauce for the rings was delicious. The pizza was HUGE and definitely filling great pizza! I do need to knock off one star and really I’d rather knock off like a half or less because the crust, to be more authentic, should be buttery and covered with cornmeal. Other than that, definitely one of the if not the best pizza in San Diego.

Omaigaaaaad this is the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in the US. My sister doesn’t like mushrooms and ended up eating almost half of it in one sitting. I called to place the order and was given the best advice ever. 10/10. Will become regular

The food is amazing!! However they should advertise that the waiting time is loonnggg. depending on the pizza you get you have to wait at lest 30mins to 1 hour that’s not including the normal wait time for food. Definitely call ahead for your food if your gonna eat there.
The pizza was perfectly crunchy and soggy just the right amount of both! I would Definitely drive the 6 hours to eat here again!!

Had a great meal at Lefty’s North Park on Sat. Jan 31, 2026. Great service -I didn’t get his name, but the guy working the counter was top notch! We had a sausage, thin crust pizza and Chicago Dogs (My Chicago-born hubby couldn’t stop raving about them). I am a midwestern girl, and this to me is the absolute best pizza in San Diego! We will definitely be back.

Kudos to your staff for fixing my order. I guess i chose peperoncino peppers when I thought I was selecting pepperoni for a online order , luckily I caught it before I got in my car and drove home. “Not a problem we’ll get you what you your pepperoni pizza and just go ahead abs keep the other one” That’s the type of customer service that keeps my business and the pizza was one of the best I’ve had in San Diego.. pretty dam close to my hometown Chicago pizza I’ll Def return with friends and family.

So long story short… A dude moves to sunny San Diego in 2023 and then gets a job, and he’s trained by me. Then we become friends and he later decides to buy me deep dish pizza for lunch. We take our lunch break and race over to 30th St to pick this food up. This is my first time ever having deep dish pizza. It was insanely good and more than filling!!

I haven’t been to Lefty’s in forever; it’s still just as good as I remember it. I ordered a farmer’s market deep dish pie and it hit my craving, like a back scratcher gets an itch. It was delicious and extremely filling. A slice would have sufficed, but I was feeling overly confident in my ability to eat. I also ordered their artichoke spinach bread and it was transcendently satisfying. I will be coming back for this bread again and again. Paid $60.80 (with tip) and it was worth every penny.
Addendum: just recently had a deep dish pepperoni and it was amazingly delicious! A must try.
