Pi Day: Best Pizza and Cannabis in San Diego

Part of the Urbn Group of pizzerias and housed in a converted 1912 warehouse in the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Basic Bar/Pizza is slinging delicious thin-crust brick oven pizzas for locals and tourists alike.

Nestled in the heart of North Park and occupying what used to be the North Park Post Office building, Tribute Pizza has been slinging Neo-Neapolitan pies since 2016. Since then, they’ve been featured on Thrillist’s “Best Pizza Shops in America” list thanks to their unique hybrid of New York and Neapolitan techniques.

Their Classic Vegano Supreme is a vegetarian pizza lover’s dream come true. Red onions, freshly crushed tomatoes, garlic-sauteed mushrooms, and pickled sweet peppers come together to form a cacophony of flavors that will delight your taste buds.

After establishing an iconic reputation in San Diego for their New York-style thin-crust pizza, Bronx Pizza has cemented its status as one of the best pizzerias in Southern California. Bronx Pizza wants to be your Hillcrest neighborhood pizza joint by creating an inviting atmosphere where you can gab with the pizza cooks while sharing a table with a stranger who might just become your new best friend.

“A friend with weed is a friend indeed”… That’s the saying, right? Bronx Pizza’s Porko pie is one of our favorites and a butcher’s daydream with pepperoni, sausage, and meatballs on their flaky, chewy crust. With a pizza this rich and ripe for meat sweats, Keef’s Pineapple Mocktail’s tropical sourness is sure to cut through the opulence.

Suppose you’re looking for a classic New York pizza, especially one that Guy Fieri, the Billy Idol of food, deemed as his favorite West Coast slice. Founded in 2004, Pizzeria Luigi opened their first shop in Golden Hill and have since expanded to North Park and Imperial Beach, spreading the gospel of cheese and tomato sauce to anyone who will listen.

Luigi Agostini has constructed many top-notch pies for his pizzeria, but our favorite is the BBQ Chicken pizza. While this pie might seem a bit bare-bones, it breaks the scales with flavor, from the spicy red onions to the juicy chicken and the sweet, savory BBQ sauce.

Lefty’s, a Chicago-style pizzeria, is a family-operated, independent joint with locations in both the North Park and Mission Hills neighborhoods in San Diego. This local restaurant proves that pizza can be delicious despite what you think is "real pizza."

One of our go-to favorites is their deep-dish pepperoni with globs of garlicky tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, and stuffed with ungodly amounts of pepperoni. It’s a grease-hound’s fantasy. If you’re looking to elevate your pizza-loving experience while you devour this pizza pie, we can’t think of a better supplement than Highland’s Indica-dominant hybrid GMO x Runtz cured badder concentrate.

Although Woodstock’s was founded in Corvallis, Oregon, they’ve since migrated south to Pacific Beach to become “California, Born, and Baked.” Their mission to create a youthful, student-oriented pizza place has sparked Woodstock’s to develop insanely garnished pies that guarantee you’ll get a taste of every topping in every single bite.

You can customize your pizza from scratch with everything from classic to gluten-free doughs and even cauliflower crusts (if you’re getting that summer body ready). We love their Garlic Bird pizza with creamy garlic sauce, grilled chicken, ‘shrooms, red onions, and fresh Roma tomatoes. All that rich, creamy, garlicky goodness is delicious but might wilt a flower if you breathe too closely near it.
