Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria

I haven’t been to Lefty’s in forever; it’s still just as good as I remember it. I ordered a farmer’s market deep dish pie and it hit my craving, like a back scratcher gets an itch. It was delicious and extremely filling. A slice would have sufficed, but I was feeling overly confident in my ability to eat. I also ordered their artichoke spinach bread and it was transcendently satisfying. I will be coming back for this bread again and again. Paid $60.80 (with tip) and it was worth every penny. Addendum: just recently had a deep dish pepperoni and it was amazingly delicious! A must try.

We each got a slice of deep dish and a soda for $10. I loved the vegetarian pizza! We ate outside and enjoyed the evening.

The employees working were so so great! The cashier was helpful and nice and the server gave us fresh parm when they ran out of shakers and helped us box our pizza up. The pizza was delicious, 10/10 recommend the chicken artichoke deep dish and the artichoke cheesy bread app. It was really crowded when we went but the employees handled it with ease. I wish there was more/better seating.

Nice outdoor patio. Great service. I wish we had Giordano's in SD... Lefty's is tastier than Rosati's and at a better price. I think you're looking at $25-35 at Lefty's for a pizza and my last pizza at Rosati's was $42-44.

If you're craving authentic Chicago deep dish pizza, Lefty's got you covered. Good luck finding parking though - it's like finding a needle in a haystack with only three spots and the employees snagging them. But hey, the mouthwatering pizza, sandwiches, Vienna hotdogs, and beef sandwiches with peppers are totally worth the struggle.

First visit. Tried the sausage deep dish and the pepperoni deep dish. Two slices and a soda was only $10! Guy at the register was awesome. Someone was eating the Italian beef sandwich. It looked delicious, definitely trying that next.

So long story short… A dude moves to sunny San Diego in 2023 and then gets a job, and he’s trained by me. Then we become friends and he later decides to buy me deep dish pizza for lunch. We take our lunch break and race over to 30th St to pick this food up. This is my first time ever having deep dish pizza. It was insanely good and more than filling!!

We got the deep dish pizza and added pepperoni and elephant garlic. While it was a complete banger, I think it would have been better as a plain cheese pizza since the garlic and pepperoni made it incredibly salty. The garlic was very strong, so if you want something a little lighter, maybe pair it with some veg topping. The crust was crispy and had a great flavor. I particularly love how it’s about an inch tall all around the edge of the pizza. Generous layers of cheese and sauce are loaded on, making these some hefty, dense slices of sheer pizza goodness. Highly recommend but can get pretty salty depending on toppings!
