Bronx Pizza

Hillcrest, San DiegoWorth trying

Roger called this Hillcrest pizza spot decent and hard to beat on its price specials, if nothing special, noting a nice back patio and plenty of indoor seating -- though it's a tough sell for him when carne asada fries at La Posta are just 10 seconds away in the same lot.

    ★★★☆☆
    “Decent pizza, can't beat the price specials.”

    Called it nothing special but would eat there if in the area. Liked the back patio and indoor seating, though carne asada fries at nearby La Posta (same parking lot) are a tough act to follow.
