Legit, this is the place to be after 14 beers. And!, you can make beer number 15 a tall-boy of Hamm's! You know, the beer from the land of sky blue waters? The pizza was great; like tips for real. However, this place serves the best smash burgers since Alley Oops at Pierre Moran Mall closed down.

This is one of my favorite spots. The pizza is amazing, the ascetic is on point, and the staff are super amazing. 10/10

Simple menu and I love it. Got both items. Each is really tasty! The burger is out of this world! Never had one like that. Simple. Pizza was really tasty too! I can see why this place is popping.

Heard about this place from a cook that I know. He was saying that he was inspired to make burgers like the friendly.
I Came and tried it and saw on the simple menu there was no modifications, so I was open to it and I really found a new burger joint that I enjoy. The meat is a thick smashed patty that taste full filling and savory. The buns are super super fire too!’ I put about 3 friends on to the place and definitely coming back. They have great pizza too so for going with friends there’s that option too. Burger 10/10 Pizza 8/10

I got the dirty flat top cheeseburger and a slice of the Becky pizza. The pizza was delicious, and the cheeseburger, while very flavorful, seemed to be missing pickles and was a bit too greasy. Besides that, it's great.

Been here a few times, great food every time. The burgers are simple but very flavorful. The pizza is also great. It’s a fast paced place, so be ready for that. People say service is bad or the workers are rude, they’re not. They do their job and keep up with the pace of the place. Don’t come here expecting the worker to be sweet to you. This isn’t the place. I live this place and Highly recommend it.

Best slice in San Diego for sure, possibly SoCal. The cheeseburger is amazing, the beef is seasoned perfectly. It's worth spending the time to park and walk. I'll be back!

It's the perfect hole in the wall slice and burger shop, no fuss no frills just great food. Is there a dive bar equivalent for pies and burgers? If so, this could be it, and it rips.

My absolute favorite place to eat when I visit San Diego. The burgers are amazing but I go for the pizza and beer. It's perfect when you're on a budget. There's even a way to get a dollar off your beer. It's a small space but the people alway have great energy and it's also pet friendly.

Their dirty flat top cheeseburger has genuinely been the best cheeseburger I've ever eaten! The patties are grilled to perfection - they're saucy with an amazing aftertaste, and they combine amazingly with the melted cheese.
Would highly recommend!!
