Wood-fired pizza restaurant and neighborhood bar at 2171 Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores, 92037, a family-owned staple since 2000. Barbarella's kitchen earns return visits for its wood-fired pizzas — including a prosciutto and arugula pie that regulars treat as non-negotiable — alongside house-made pastas, fresh salads, and a patio that fills early on warm evenings. The Avenida address places it steps from Beeside Balcony La Jolla on Prospect, though Barbarella trades the ocean-view balcony for Shores-neighborhood intimacy. The bar program keeps things relaxed with wine, craft beer, and classic cocktails. Two blocks from La Jolla Shores Beach; open for dinner nightly — and Village diners who want the same Mediterranean warmth with French bistronomie precision reserve at Bistro du Marché by Tapenade on Girard.
