The Haven Pizzeria

Valentine’s Day Dinner Date with my Hubby. Picked up, with a salad and desert. Sadly disappointed 😔 was barely warm. Ordered for pick up at 5:45, arrived a bit early and it was already ready……pizza crust was flat , literally and figuratively. Toppings were decent however, was expecting a bit more creativity with the “onion mix”. Vegan antipasto salad also very flat and lacking in creativity. But the dressing was good! Only there was not enough for the entire salad. Bummer😟 Not sure if I would throw my $$ this way again.

Oh my goodness! 5/5 Best pizza I’ve had all year. The righteous pig is the bizzness! Sweet savory and oh so delicious. I can’t wait to try the rest!

Had the Cortez pizza and it was fantastic! The addition of the arugula salad on top added another dimension to the already flavorful pizza. Along with that, we had some sort of Bolognese pasta that was to die for. Great service and a decent drink menu. Check this place out for some wonderful food and service!

The Haven Pizzeria in Kensington continues to impress with its cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and comforting Italian-inspired dishes. This was our second visit, and it’s clear why this spot is a local favorite. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a great dining experience. The staff provided excellent service, always checking in with a smile and ensuring we had everything we needed. We started with the Mushroom Soup, and it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, rich, and full of earthy flavors, it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. As a soup lover, I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting. It’s clear that The Haven takes care in crafting each dish, and this soup was no exception. For our main courses, we tried the Popeye Pizza and the Traditional Lasagna Pasta. The pizza, featuring roasted garlic sauce, fresh spinach, chicken, mushrooms, mozzarella, and goat cheese, had potential but fell a little flat in the flavor department. While the ingredients were fresh and well-prepared, it just didn’t pack the punch we were hoping for. That said, the crust was excellent, and I’d be eager to try a different pizza on our next visit. The Traditional Lasagna Pasta, on the other hand, was an absolute standout. Layers of marinara, ricotta, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions, and ground beef came together in perfect harmony for a hearty and flavorful dish. Adding garlic bread was the icing on the cake, and I’d easily order this dish again. It’s comforting, classic, and exactly what you’d want from a lasagna. Overall, The Haven Pizzeria is a delightful spot for anyone craving great service and hearty meals. While the pizza didn’t quite hit the mark for us this time, the lasagna and soup more than made up for it. With its welcoming vibe and diverse menu, we’ll definitely be back to explore more of their offerings. If you’re in the Kensington area, this is a spot worth checking out!

Hidden gem in Kensington! One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been in San Diego. Loved the pizza toscana, feel like every bite I had was better than the last. The best alla vodka with bacon I’ve had in over ten years, couldn’t stop eating it. We sat on the dog friendly patio which has heaters. The service was excellent and food comes out quick. Must go!
