Welcome to Tribute Pizza. We’re a neighborhood pizza joint in North Park, San Diego. We’ve been named one of America’s best pizzerias, but what is most meaningful to us is serving our community. We buy from our neighbors (the North Park Farmers Market is located just a block away every Thursday); their local produce is represented in every category on our menu, and we only make food that makes us happy. Everything on the menu is from scratch, prepared with love, with intention, and without compromise. Simply put, we make the pizza that we want to eat, that we want to share, which is inspired by and shares the traits of many styles of pizza from around the world.
