Pizza to Try

“Delicious pizza (recommend the bbq chicken pizza) and amazing employees”

“Incredible pizza. Crispy, flavorful, the owner is super nice. We got the white pizza and the bbq chicken pizza, freaking YUM! One of my new favorite pizza finds!”

“Pizza was very tasty. We ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza and it was HUGE. It was like the size of a XXL pizza in Dominos. The pizza also tasted good and different because it had saffron in it unlike other pizza stores.”

“I’ve been looking for a solid and consistent pizza place in San Diego for a long time and I finally found it. The pizza was just incredible. My favorite was the buffalo chicken pizza 10/10. The workers there were very nice and the place looked very clean. Highly recommend.”

“Really good classic cheese pizza. The crust was crispy, the sauce had nice flavor, and the cheese was melted perfectly. Sometimes simple is best, and this one hit the spot.”

“Super amazing pizza!!! BBQ chicken was delicious BBQ sauce hit the spot! My daughter loved her cheese pizza I highly recommend this place. Great customer service the gentleman was very nice and the pizza was fantastic.”

“Bbq and Hawaiian pizza were soooo good! I’ll definitely be coming back to try the calzones I saw someone picking up. The owner Wahid happened to be there and left a great, welcoming impression on us with it being a new business. Happy to support local!”

“We came to San Diego for a couple days, and found this place just minutes from our hotel in the Gaslamp area. The staff waited for us, as being late afternoon on a Sunday, we called ahead with a party of 8 people. The food was amazing...fresh ingredients and very delicious. We had Pizza, Calzones and wings. No alcohol served, but water and other options were available. Highly recommend coming here.”

“Great pizza! We had the margarita pizza and Persian pizza, both were amazing. Excellent service as well, the man working was extremely kind and accommodating”

“Phenomenal pizza! Growing up in the greater Boston area, I have high pizza standards and only have a few pizza places I like in San Diego. But this is one of my new favorites. Mo met me with a big smile and he told me they use beef for the pepperoni instead of pork which is a great alternative. The dough they use has a unique and great taste! Killer pie guys! Thank you and see yah again soon Mo.”

“We had the meat lovers pizza and it was excellent. Toppings were delicious with just the right amount of cheese. Crust was perfectly done. Owners were great people. I highly recommend checking it out.”

“Amazing pizza. Traveling from New England with some of the world's best pizza and finding Saffron near us made sense to take a shot. Welcoming and safe atmosphere and the pizza was prepared perfectly. I've attached photos that look like they should be on advertisements on what pizza should look like. The flavors and crispy crust was awesome. Well worth stopping in.”

“It was the best pizza I've ever had in the U.S. Especially Persian pizza. The juicy flavor of the rich, fresh ingredients and the crispy texture of the pizza edge matched well. It's really good👍 The owner is kind and the shop is very clean. I will probably go to eat pizza often.”

“Hot diggity dog this food blew my socks off! I don’t even know where to start, the food is absolutely one of a kind! The saffron Persian pizza is by far the greatest sustenance I’ve ever indulged in. My taste buds were sent to heaven on this journey to flavor town. I absolutely recommend everyone to experience this flavorful adventure and head over to saffron pizza kitchen to experience and out of this world experience”

“Great service and delicious pizza! We got the bbq and supreme works pizzas, they were fire. Glad we found this place still open so late in the night”

“Came to dine in to satisfy my late Friday night pizza cravings. Ordered medium white pizza, it freshly made, so very filling and delicious. Had right amount of garlic white sauce, ricotta, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil leaves on top on a crispy dough. The venue felt intimate, warm and I think it is family owned, run business, the lady and gentleman serving us were checking in to ensure we’re pleased with the service. Thank you a lot for the food and service, will be coming in more often!”

“The white pizza here is epic: creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of garlic to be present but not overpowering. We got ours with pepperoni for a bit of protein, and it was fabulous! The crust is medium-thick and has a subtle sweetness that compliments the toppings perfectly. A small size (12") has eight slices which is great for two with a little left over.”
