About
When owner Traveon discovered through a simple Google search that Tierrasanta didn't have a single pizzeria, homesickness turned into opportunity. The Pizza Standard opened as a quaint neighborhood spot for kids and adults alike, bringing Brooklyn-style pizza to a community that desperately needed it. What sets them apart? A borderline obsessive attention to detail that treats every pie like a science project: fermented dough for that perfect yeasty flavor, sauce cooked from thick whole peeled tomatoes, all cheeses grated in-house, and vegetables sliced fresh daily. The 18-inch specialty pies—from the truffle-salt-kissed Truffle Pizza to the Un-Hawaiian with pepperoni, pineapple, and ricotta—consistently earn 4.8-star ratings and claims of "best NY-style pizza in San Diego." They keep limited hours because staying sane matters when you're constantly perfecting your craft. Fast service, warm staff that treats you like family, and desserts like Italian tiramisu round out an experience that proves sometimes the best discoveries come from filling a void.
