   Service was terrible. Drinks took a while to arrive and the food took 30 minutes. It was Valentine’s Day but it wasn’t a big order.

   Being from the Chicago area it is nice to be able to get deep dish in San Diego. Even more impressive is the bar program at The Shop.

   This is our 2nd time to The Shop and we LOVE it! The pizza is fantastic... in our group we have 1 vegan, 1 vegetarian, and 1 gluten free (the rest have no restrictions), and everyone raved about their pizza. Our server was excellent. He was polite, funny, knowledgeable, attentive, and patient! We plan to become regular customers and are spreading the word about this great place.

   Our waitress was wonderful. The restaurant was full and she never stopped moving and was always gracious. The golden beet salad is delicious. The deep dish pizzas make you eat one slice too many because it’s so good! Nice beer, wine and cocktail selection.

   We had only just recently discovered The Shop, and figured we'd check it out. After sharing a yummy bruschetta appetizer, we decided to design our own pizza. Admittedly, we made a minor error in ordering a large pizza (for two to share), but figured leftovers would be fine to take home. When the pizza came to our table, all of our toppings were huddled in the middle of the pizza. We were a little confused as to how none of the veggies had made it closer to the edge. With the pile of toppings in the middle, the center of the pizza was more than a little soggy. It was still tasty, but not all the way to the crust. It was a little weird. More, because we decided that the limited selection of specialty pizzas didn't strike our fancy (do people still say that?), we ordered our own combination of vegetables for our pizza. In the end, our pizza came out to $45-- steep even at San Diego prices. Aside from the pile of toppings in the middle, each topping ($3.50 for each topping?! Outrageous!) was far overpriced for the amount of toppings used. (Note: the price per topping is listed, but it's a bit of an afterthought on the menu and the server provided no reminder). It will be a long time before we decide to drop a pile of cash on an overpriced pizza that was rushed through the kitchen. Overall rating: Disappointing.

   Really great spot to have some great quality pizza and salads and the cocktails are amazing. Easy location with tons of parking.

   The pizzas are hands-down delish. The beet salad is also excellent. Wine selection is good. Service is good although can wane if the place is swamped. Acoustics amplify sound making conversation challenging for a party larger than 3 or 4 when seated inside. It is our go-to place for reliably great pizza.

    My friends and I have been to The Shop a number of times and were always happy with our meal and service. Yesterday exceeded our expectations because of our server, Shane F. He was awesome! He was attentive and very pleasant. We’ve always loved The Shop, but now we love it even more because of the excellent service!
