Great combo of a slice of deep dish, salad, and drink for a less than $10. Note: slice is of their regular pizzas not specials. Specials are extra.
Nate KingDecember 13, 2015If you're ever feeling nostalgic of the chi, go here. They stayed true to the chicago dog, and being able to get deep dish slices for $3 is a good freaking deal.

Courtyard San DiegoApril 28, 2012Want some authentic Chicago deep dish? Lefty’s is the place to go for your thick crust fix, or why not try a meatball sub? Grab a beer as well, they have an incredible selection of craft brews.
William HoNovember 3, 2014Everything! Excellent pizza and service!! This coming from someone from Brooklyn 👍👍👌
The deep dish is the best but it takes a while to cook so be sure to order ahead. The kids love playing with the toys and books.
The Loaded Fries - topped with cheddar or blue cheese, along with bacon, sour-cream, and scallions - are super tasty!
- Went thin crust this time. Love it as much as the deep dish. Also, there's a back patio now!
BarryAugust 18, 2013Order ahead for pizza. The sandwiches don't need much time to prep. Great food and reasonably priced!
Kimberly Shalit- BalastrieriJuly 5, 2012Family friendly. Has a child's seating area with books and toys. They will also child cut your slice if you request it. Great place!- James RansomSeptember 10, 2013Pros: Wow - deep dish pizza is so delicious. Gluten-free crusts available. Cons: No HD TVs so no good for football.

- 30 Minutes Or LessJuly 6, 2011These guys love their Chicago teams, so #DontBlowIt by wearing a Cardinals hat or a Packers jersey.
Stephanie PhamNovember 1, 2012Only place I'll get deep dish in San Diego! And I get hooked up with 10% cashback on my bill because of MOGL! http://mo.gl/sdfour- You know what? The thin crust isn't half bad (I usually go deep dish)
Rob MorganAugust 19, 2013Don't bring a big party without calling ahead, the host guy that looks like joe dirt will be a bitch about it (apparently they don't like spontaneous large checks).
Jennifer KnappJuly 24, 2014Not true deep dish in that they do not spend an hour cooking it and this isn't Chicago. However, they still take 35 minutes which gives them time to make a pretty respectable pie.
Matthew DeCellesDecember 31, 2011So much better than Berkeley Pizza! Don't let anyone tell you different.
amalia rizkyJuly 13, 2011order the pizza and ask for the secret sauce. they had the best pizza in san diego
Malaya United Films & EntertainmentJuly 13, 2011At Lefty's, you pay your pizza by right hands lol! Ask for extra fries ...
ColleenOctober 23, 2010Get the Veggie Chopped Salad--hello blue cheesy deliciousness-- and the Monster Midway.
Justin HesseApril 23, 2010This place is very kid friendly, very nice to have a Chicago style pizzaria looking out for the little ones.
