Ellie's Wood-Fired Pizza Opening at 4852 Voltaire
SanDiegoVille / September 6, 2024
Ellie's Wood-Fired Pizza, a family-owned eatery specializing in Neapolitan-style pizza, is expanding from Yuma, AZ to San Diego’s Ocean Beach neighborhood.
After operating successfully in Yuma for three years, Ellie’s Wood-Fired Pizza is set to open in the space previously occupied by The Holistic Science Company in Ocean Beach. Husband-and-wife owners Doug and Kailey Jo Valdez, along with their dog Ellie, are excited to bring their passion for wood-fired pizza to San Diego.
The inspiration for the business began in 2017 when the couple fell in love with Neapolitan-style pizza while visiting breweries in Long Beach, CA. Although their initial idea of combining a brewery with a pizza shop didn't materialize, they decided to focus on perfecting the pizza concept and opened their first location in Arizona in 2021.
