About Mr. Moto Pizza

Mr. Moto Pizza was established in 2015 in the Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego, California. Mr. Moto’s objective is to share his authentic New York style pizza to the hungry West Coast—but with a little twist! His characteristically thin-crust pies feature a chewy outer edge (or “handle”) that is remarkably fluffy! Everyday Mr. Moto and his team of pizza aficionados employ a secret recipe to make this one-of-kind dough in-house. The perfectly kneaded dough is tossed by hand and topped with a wide array of fresh, gourmet ingredients. In just one year’s time the technique has earned Mr. Moto great reviews, loyal customers, and critical acclaim as Mr. Moto Pizza proudly boasts the award for “San Diego’s Best Gourmet Pizza” since 2016. The San Diego based family-owned Pizza Parlor has since opened locations in North Park, Point Loma, La Jolla, Ocean Beach, Encinitas, Seaport Village, Little Italy and Mission Valley. Mr. Moto projects opening even more locations in the years to come and remains hands-on in maintaining a welcoming atmosphere that serves top-quality fare.
