    Visiting from out of town, needed a gluten free pizza option for the lady friend and Mr. Moto was the answer. I am a huge pizza fan and their gluten free crust was incredible! It was the perfect amount of crispy and lost no flavor. Went simple with just pepperoni and it was so good. Also ordered some Wings and they were ok, could cook them just a little longer for a crispier outside. The pizza was the star so I definitely would suggest this place and would order again!

    Casual and hip atmosphere. Service was great and the pizzas were good as well. NY style pizza by the slice is exactly what you will get when you come here. You choose the slice you want, and they will heat it up. We came here twice during our stay. Watch the TV for a comical treat while you wait for your food. I would recommend this pizza joint and will come back for our next trip to Pacific Beach.

    The best pizza on the beach hands down. Ingredients are high quality and the variety of pizzas has something for everyone. The thickness of the dough and the cool temperature is always perfect. Every time I try a different pizza I always say, it’s not as good as Moto!

    Wow! This is good NY style pizza. Almost a hole in the wall pizza joint. Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and caramelized onions. Outstanding! The crust was light and good flavor. The garlic knot was okay. Staff was ver friendly, polite and professional.
