About

Gary Zendell—entrepreneur, self-taught chef, pizza dreamer—opened isa.bella in Clairemont Town Square in 2013 with a clear vision: marry authentic Neapolitan pizza technique with California creativity, then surround it with San Diego's best craft beer selection. The gamble paid off spectacularly. Discovery Channel came calling, KUSI featured them repeatedly, and food critics declared it "the absolute best Neapolitan style pizza in San Diego." When the 2018 Best Pizza in San Diego award landed on the Sausage Bomb Pizza, Zendell proved his instincts right. But isa.bella isn't just about the pies—though those Neapolitan crusts, fired at proper temperature with California-inspired toppings, deserve the praise. The real magic lives in that massive dog-friendly craft beer garden: 16 rotating taps of local San Diego favorites and global microbrews, three fire pits crackling under string lights, comfy sofas catching Mission Bay breezes, acoustic music drifting through. Families, couples, beer nerds, and pups all find their spot. Neapolitan soul, California heart.
