About

Isola Pizza Bar at 7734 Girard Ave in La Jolla's Village, 92037, was named for chef-owner Massimo Tenino's grandmother and built around 96-hour fermented dough fired in a Neapolitan wood oven. The Gamberetti (shrimp, asparagus, goat cheese) and the 4 Stagioni a modo mio (mushrooms, artichokes, speck, Kalamata olives) are the standout pies; cacio e pepe made with homemade noodles earns equal praise off the pizza menu. Pietro Rinaldi family wines anchor the drinks list. The burrata pizza with housemade budino is the move for a full evening — reserve ahead on weekends.
