"With so many Chicagoans calling San Diego home, it only follows that we have a good Chicago-style pizzeria to call our own. Lefty’s, with two locations in North Park and Mission Hills, is deep dish pie’s Southern California home away from home (order as soon as possible after sitting because deep dish pies take up to 35 minutes to bake). Or try the stuffed pizza, loving described as “the mother of all pizzas,” which can take up to an hour to make and bake in the oven." - Darlene Horn, Candice Woo
