Launched in 2016 by a bonafide pizza nerd, this cozy neighborhood spot situated in a former post office pays homage to beloved pies from pizzerias across the nation, like Roberta’s in Brooklyn, Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix, and the food court in Costco (no kidding!). Owner Matt Lyons finely tuned every detail of the operation to turn out the best possible pizza, including sourcing a specific brand of flour, splurging on a 1,500-pound wood-fired Renato oven, and installing a reverse osmosis system to make the water just right. A half-dozen vegan pizzas in two sizes are also available.How to order: Reserve a table for indoor dining online.

As its name implies, Tribute is all about honoring legends in the pizza realm. Celebrated pizzaiolo Chris Bianco’s portrait hangs on the wall of the loft-like dining room, where the wood-fired oven action is visible from every seat, and the menu is stacked with takes on famous pies, including a gourmet version of Costco’s classic combo supreme spruced up with fancy Ezzo pepperoni and housemade fennel sausage. The gooey grandma-style crust is the best base for Tribute’s impressive ode to Brooklyn joint Best Pizza’s benchmark white pizza, the crackly sesame seed-studded crust layered with mozzarella, ricotta, and caramelized onions.

Qué es: Nuestro concepto de pizza favorito en todo San Diego rinde homenaje a las grandes pizzas del mundo — de Nueva York a Nápoles, de Nairobi a Texas, del patio de comidas de Costco a una de las mejores de San Diego (ver No. 8). La idea de Matt Lyons echó raíces en North Park en 2016 y, como su nombre lo indica, la misión del aficionado a las pizzas de recrear los célebres sabores es un triunfo. Las especiales de la hora feliz están entre las mejores de la ciudad y Tribute es también el único lugar local que conocemos que ofrece un helado suave cubierto con aceite de oliva arbequina y sal marina.
