Great spot in Birdrock with a good selection of beers and cocktails to choose from. The margarita special on a Saturday night is worth going in for. Really enjoy their burgers along with the fries, and they do a really good job on cooking the chicken wings so that they are crispy

We hosted a Welcome Party on the Wheat and Water outdoor patio a couple of weeks ago for our daughter's wedding weekend. We worked closely with Andrew on our needs and special requests and he did an amazing job of accommodating our group. Everything from the food and beverage we selected, table placement, and layout of the space, could not have been better. In addition to the party, we had a private family dinner before hand ordering directly from the menu and bar on a separate tab. Everything was delicious. The party food came out hot and on time and was refreshed throughout the evening. Our server, Makenzie, along with Andrew, handled the entire event with grace, efficiency, and humor. The evening could not have been more perfect. Note about the photos, we did bring in some of our own decor!

My wife and I LOVE this place, the pizza is pretty darn good for west coast pizza ;) and the staff is always super chill. Great place to grab a brew and catch a baseball game or sip wine and enjoy a sunset on the patio.

Had the fabulous opportunity to meet up with colleagues and celebrate a bday with them! Wheat & Water has just the greatest atmosphere, kind staff and such delicious food that the good times were flowing! Great location in Birdrock on La Jolla Blvd. super close to the beach and in the heart of everything Birdrock has to offer. Such awesome indoor/outdoor seating as well. It’s a must try!

Love the cozy ambiance, nice staff, no wait to sit down, we shared two pizzas and we ate every slice! The chimichurri shrimp one was super tasty and on the saltier side, the ganagook was a little burn crust but good sauce! We’ll be back

Excellent pizza! I'm from the east coast in RI and this is the best pizza I've had on the west coast so far, pepperoni an cheese was a nostalgic reminder of new york pizza! it's hard to find good pizza here in the west coast lol. And good service!

We LOVE Wheat & Water! The pizza is one of a kind and super authentic. The staff that waited on us, Rebecca & Peyton both made our experience fantastic. They are kind and very experienced! We highly recommend coming here for a local and delicious experience in San Diego! We can’t wait to come back with our friends!

Good mix with the menu. Best way to describe is a culinary artist prepared menu. Good value in acquired tastes and will not break the pocketbook. There was something for everybody. Our party was pleased. Great atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience! A must return.
