A newly opened Hillcrest pizzeria Roger tried while waiting out a long line across the street at RB Sushi; the pizza and pasta both arrived bland and the service faltered on a slow check and a distracted server.

“Not only did the food taste mediocre but as starving as we were, we were immediately disappointed.”
A walk-in while waiting for a table across the street at RB Sushi; the seasonal squash pizza and pasta both tasted bland and greasy, and it took a long time to get the check while the server chatted with another table. Roger called the "best pizza west of NY" claim overpriced instead.
Roger's Hillcrest cigar-bar pick, run by an owner (Raul) he calls the friendliest in town, open later than most local lounges with a strong Belgian beer selection on tap and bottle.

A Hillcrest Chinese restaurant Roger says declined after the pandemic, dropping from a two-star review to one star, after an earlier visit he'd already called just okay and Americanized.
A Hillcrest location of the Nishiki Ramen chain -- a separate address from the site's existing Kearny Mesa entry -- rated a middling three stars by Roger.
