Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria
About
Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria brings authentic Windy City flavors to San Diego since 2005. Founded by Lauren Hodson ("Mama Lefty"), a Chicago transplant missing home, this family-operated pizzeria serves three authentic Chicago-style crusts: golden deep dish with cornmeal (35min bake), stuffed pizza (60min bake), and thin crust cut into squares (25min bake). Customer reviews declare it "the best deep-dish in the Golden State" and "better than Chicago's famous spots." Beyond award-winning deep dish, the menu features Italian beef sandwiches served au jus with giardiniera, Chicago hot dogs on poppy seed buns, wings, and pasta. With TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice recognition, craft beer and wine selection, heated outdoor patio, and two casual family-friendly locations, Lefty's creates a Chicago community in Southern California.
