Great pizza. Met the owners, very accommodating. Hildes Pepperoni and Mishkas Margarita. The pizza was cooked perfectly. Doug brought me some hot honey from his private stash. Definitely support this awesome small biz.

Ellie’s Wood Fired Pizza is an absolute gem in San Diego. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical seeing all the 5/5 reviews—but it truly lives up to the hype. The pizza was phenomenal. Perfectly charred crust, flavorful toppings, and that unbeatable wood-fired taste. The vibes are just as good as the food; Warm, welcoming, and full of character. Doug and his wife have really built something special here, and it shows in every detail. If you’re in San Diego, this is a must-visit spot.

BEST PIZZA IN SD! I can honestly eat this elote pizza for breakfast! Homemade ranch and chili oil ‼️Served with a lime which gives a different – yet delicious twist! In my head all I can hear is that Daddy Yankee song saying “DAME MAS GASOLINA” .

Ellie’s wood fire pizza is SOOO good. If you are reading this than you should probably get some.
Our experience was great. We called and the lady who answered was incredibly friendly and helpful. Helped us pick the perfect pizzas for our family of four to enjoy during a sunset at the beach. We got a text when the pizzas were ready and everybody loved them.
We are only here for a short bit, but will return!

Been here multiple times and it’s just incredible! Such great pizza (coming from someone who used to live in Italy). Can’t wait to be back!

Visiting California for the first time and as a CT Pizza Snob the first thing I do in a new place is look up recommended pizza spots. Ellie’s was a block from my AirBnb and had a 5/5 review. So I said to my girl, “this is the spot we need to check out”, and we headed up. The hours are crazy limited for good reason but we got there at open and chose the outdoor seating. The decor was really neat 70’s style and the wood oven was in the back yard on a trailer. I sat at a picnic table and watched Doug, the owner, carefully crafting orders. As I watched him all I could think was “this man is an artist.” He inspected EVERY pizza that came out. When ours were finally cooked and brought over, he stopped and chatted with us for a bit. Doug shared with us his deep passion for pizza and explained how he and his wife just started the shop and take time on the weekend to bake pies for the local homeless population.
Great story, great vibe, great people…and then there’s the pizza.
Absolute GAS. As good a wood fired pizza as I’ve had anywhere, and I’ve had a lot. I couldn’t wait to wake up in the morning and heat up my leftovers.
If you are in San Diego and don’t grab a pizza from Ellie’s, you missed out.

Seriously great pizza! The staff were kind and made great recommendations. The chef took time to show our kids the wood fire oven and chatted with them. Definitely recommend.

Discovered a gem in Ocean Beach! This spot boasts 70s vibes, unique wood-fired pizzas, and a stunning patio oven. Watch the owner craft pies beside the glowing flames and enjoy the culinary magic! This charming spot is a must-visit for any pizza enthusiast. The combination of nostalgic ambiance, artisanal cooking, and mouthwatering flavors makes for an unforgettable dining experience. Absolutely divine pizzas that will leave you craving more! I tried a few Pizzas all amazing my favorites Elote Pizza!!

5/5 stars!
“I’m absolutely loving Ellie’s Woodfire Pizza! From the moment you step inside, you’re treated like family – the owners’ warmth and hospitality are genuine. The menu is a work of art, with pies crafted from the freshest ingredients and a sauce that’s simply phenomenal. We can’t get enough of the Mishka’s Margherita and Django’s Pepperoni Sausage with Jalapeños, but honestly, every pie is a winner. The real showstopper is their custom Neapolitan Brick Monster Oven, fired by the finest White Oak – it’s a meat smoker’s dream come true! The interior decor is on point, and the 3-4 chords of Oak on the back patio are a nice touch. We’ve made it a habit to stop by for 2-3 pies whenever we’re in San Diego. Don’t sleep on this place – grab a friend, family, or neighbor and get ready for an unforgettable pizza experience! My daughter absolutely loves their pizza, and in my opinion, this comes 1st on my list – next to Bianco’s Pizza!”

Amazing pizza and amazing people!!! The margherita was perfect and the Alfredo based pizza was so unique. I left my purse overnight and they did everything possible to get a hold of me – they even stayed open later in hopes that I returned!! I didn’t notice until the next morning so I left them an Instagram message and they immediately called me back and were SO friendly and accommodating. If I could give y’all more than 5 stars I would!
