The Dishes
Regent's Pizzeria showcases an impressive array of pizza options starting with their signature deep dish pizza, which the reviewer notes is one of the best you'll find in San Diego. A single slice of the deep dish weighs approximately 2 pounds, highlighting the generous proportions. The Brooklyner, their most popular pizza offering, is a New York style pie available by the slice that delivers classic NYC pizza excellence. The white pizza ranks as their second most popular offering and provides a delicious alternative for those seeking something different from traditional cheese pizza. Beyond pizza, the menu extends to salads, pastas, and chicken sandwiches, giving diners multiple options regardless of their pizza preference.
The Experience
Located right off the La Hoya building in La Jolla, Regent's Pizzeria has established itself as a long-time favorite that the reviewer has been visiting for years. The restaurant maintains a casual, welcoming atmosphere that caters to pizza enthusiasts. The presence of a rotating list of more than 30 beers on tap adds to the dining experience, offering craft beer selections to complement meals.
Value & Pricing
While specific pricing is not detailed in the transcript, the generous portion sizes such as a 2-pound pizza slice suggest reasonable value for the quality and quantity offered.
Notable Moments
One of the best deep dish pizzas you're going to find. This piece weighs about a small baby.
When there's cheese grease and oil everywhere, you're going to the right spot.
The reviewer notes that one of the sandwiches features spice that hits hard initially but backs off quickly after about a minute and a half.
The Verdict
Regent's Pizzeria stands as a definite top contender for pizza in San Diego, particularly for those seeking authentic deep dish or New York style pizzas. This restaurant is best for pizza purists who appreciate generous portions, quality ingredients, and the comfort of a casual dining environment with excellent beer selections.
