Zia Gourmet Pizza
About
Khaled Waleh opened Zia Gourmet Pizza in Normal Heights in 2007 with an artist's vision: "I wanted to create pizza that wasn't just life sustaining food. I wanted art." After years experimenting at the now-closed CafĂ© Zia near SDSU, he transformed his round canvas into one of San Diego's most sought-after pizza joints. The New Yorkerâturkey pastrami, pepperoncinis, cream cheese, and basilâranked third on Yelp's list of 20 most unique pizzas nationwide. Inside the laid-back space with mosaic floors and rotating artwork, you'll find 20 craft beer taps and creative pies like the Eggplant with cranberries and savory yogurt or the Cinnamon Pear dessert pizza. Open 5 PM to 11 PM daily, it's organic gourmet without pretense.
