Mr. Moto Pizza House is launching a third location in the heart of Point Loma’s peninsular enclave at Rosecrans and Shelter Island Drive. Opening Friday, August 10, this will be the third outpost of the growing brand, whose two other locations include Pacific Beach and North Park. The new Point Loma location is 1250 sq. ft. and will share the same menu as the other locations.
After a triumphant win at the inaugural Gourmet Pizza Fest held at Liberty Station in 2016, when Mr. Moto took the title “Best Gourmet Pizza in San Diego,” the pizza guru was certain he had the “recipe for success.” Mr. Moto has diversified from the cliché red and white checkered “Italian” tablecloth concept, and lives light years away from those national “Grab-and-Go” pizza chains. Instead, exotic ingredients such as truffle oil, burrata and mascarpone cheese, Italian sausage, fresh basil and rosemary, along with finishing drizzles such as sweet balsamic glaze and raspberry chipotle sauce, can be found on Mr. Moto’s menus.
Customers can choose from either whole pies or slices, as well as a variety of non-pizza items such as salads, pastas, wings, and meatballs. Frequent customers love the ‘Pizza of the Month’ special, a limited-release pie created each month. Past specials include a black garlic paste pizza, a ‘taco’ pizza with carne asada and cotija cheese, a ‘pink pizza’ made with a smoked salmon base, and many, many more. On any given day, each location boasts at least 20 types of pizza in their display case, all made with fresh ingredients to create the ‘New York’ style gourmet pizza varieties.
