The fast-growing build-your-own artisanal pizza concept will mark the openings of two new restaurants with “Pizzas for a Purpose” fundraising events. On March 5th and March 12th, guests are invited to “pay-what-they-want” for a custom-built, personal-sized pizza, with a suggested $8 contribution to benefit local San Diego charities:

“We are thrilled to bring such a unique pizza concept to San Diego,” said Christopher Kenny, owner of PizzaRev in Carmel Valley. “We’ve already received a tremendous response from local residents who are eager for our doors to open. Giving back to the communities where we work and live is important to us, and we are excited to partner with organizations that deliver a positive impact locally.”

The first location to hit San Diego will open in Scripps Ranch on March 5th. Owner Stephen Wood is a local restaurant entrepreneur who comes from multiple generations of quick-serve restaurant operators, working within his family’s restaurant syndicate for most of his life. Wood’s choice to strike out on his own with PizzaRev was fueled by the desire to bring a better pizza product to his hometown of San Diego and work with a company that holds strong philanthropic and community-based values.

The second location of PizzaRev will open on March 12th in Carmel Valley. Owner Chris Kenny is one of the well-known “Kenny Brothers” who own and operate the well-loved Jersey Mikes Sub Shops in Solana Beach, La Jolla and Pacific Beach. Born and raised on the Jersey Shore, Kenny grew up eating authentic thin crust pizza and immediately saw PizzaRev as “Best in Class” in the new movement of craft-your-own pizza.

PizzaRev features a distinctive “Craft Your Own” pizza assembly process and its Roman-style thin and crispy pizza that has won a loyal following in the Los Angeles area. It starts with the crust selection, either original or gluten-free, each one pressed into a thin canvas from a homemade dough ball. Guests then choose from four signature sauces, including a savory organic marinara, a creamy white alfredo, and a spicy-sweet BBQ. Finally, each personally-sized masterpiece is completed with favorite selections from an array of artisanal cheeses and 30+ fresh ingredients, ranging from traditional favorites like pepperoni and ground beef to premium selections including sweet fennel sausage and fresh-picked basil and arugula. Each pizza, no matter how many ingredients are selected, costs $8.25.

Most unique to PizzaRev, and what enables the restaurant’s unprecedented speed of service, is the custom-built, 900-degree stone hearth oven at each restaurant. Guests watch the dancing flames in the background as their pizzas are fired to a perfect crispiness in less than three minutes. With literally thousands of combinations to create, PizzaRev keeps guests coming back eager to try their latest craving.
