La Mesa Pizzaworks
About
When a husband, wife, and cousin trio opened La Mesa Pizzaworks in 2024, they brought something San Diego had been missing: a kosher, completely vegetarian pizzeria where quality comes first. Manager Chris Layvas—with 15 years in the pizza game—oversees hand-tossed dough perfected over time, scratch-made sauces slow-cooked with herbs and spices, and cheese shredded fresh daily. The showstopper? "I Can't Believe It's Not Pepperoni," an 18-inch pie loaded with smoky plant-based pepperoni and wild oregano that even carnivores rave about. Their secret dough formula creates the perfect base for creative specialties like Hot Helix Hawaiian with serrano peppers or BBQ pizza with gouda and cilantro. Fast-casual vibes, friendly service, and a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award prove this La Mesa local is doing vegetarian pizza right. Grab two huge slices and a drink for $10, finish with Apple Pie Pizza, and discover why they've quickly become a neighborhood favorite.
