Regents Pizzeria

Regents Pizzeria

Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, it’d be easy to miss Regents Pizzeria. In doing so, one would miss out on easily the best Chicago-style deep-dish pizza in all of San Diego County (yes, we’ve heard of Lefty’s Chicago Pizzeria). The flaky crust is made with a palpable addition of love; the type that pushes a business to go beyond good enough or pretty authentic to get something just right. Order up a sausage, mushroom, and spinach pie for a layered, lasagna-like feast held together by crispy, buttery stuffed dough. Regents also offers the most adventurous array of draft craft ales and lagers in La Jolla’s UTC area. (858.550.0406, www.regentspizza.com)   BRANDON HERNANDEZ
