Pizza On Pearl, a La Jolla-based pizzeria known for its New York-style pies and casual takeout service, is getting ready to open a new location in San Diego at 3914 30th Street.
The company’s second location is set to move into the former home of Sipz Vegetarian Kitchen, which operated in the space for more than a decade before closing in 2024, according to SanDiegoVille. While an exact opening date has yet to be announced, signage for Pizza On Pearl has already been placed on the building. The expansion marks the brand’s first move beyond its original La Jolla shop, bringing its established menu to a new neighborhood.
The North Park address has seen several recent tenants following the closure of Sipz Vegetarian Kitchen. Concepts including Rising Sun Collective and Common Table briefly operated in the space before closing. Common Table recently relocated its operations to Coin-Op Gameroom, leaving the 30th Street storefront available again.
Founded in 2009, Pizza On Pearl has built a steady following by focusing on fresh ingredients and straightforward preparation. The restaurant prepares its sauces, dressings, and dough daily, with vegetables cut to order. Its expansion into North Park reflects continued demand for neighborhood pizza spots in central San Diego.
The menu features a range of red and white pies, including pepperoni, margherita, and specialty combinations like barbecue chicken and buffalo chicken. Customers can also order pizza by the slice, along with calzones, stromboli, wings, and salads. Build-your-own options allow for a variety of toppings, including meats, vegetables, and cheeses.
In addition to savory items, the restaurant offers desserts such as soft-serve ice cream, cheesecake, and cookies, along with a selection of beer and non-alcoholic beverages. The format remains focused on quick service, with both takeout and delivery options available.
