What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

SanDiegoVille reported in April 2020 that Pizzeria Luigi would appear in Guy Fieri's pandemic-era Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives takeout edition, with Fieri picking up the Golden Hill pizzeria's food for delivery. The segment centered on the Capone, a meat-lover's pizza the restaurant's own site says Fieri has called his favorite West Coast pie since its original 2008 Triple D visit. Pizzeria Luigi opened in 2004 in San Diego's Golden Hill neighborhood serving New York-style pizza and has since appeared on three separate Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episodes.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Pizzeria Luigi in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood for the episode "Real Deal Italian," which aired 2008-11-17. Pizzeria Luigi is a pizzeria at 5005 Newport Avenue serving Italian-style pizza. According to the restaurant's own website (pizzerialuigi.com), checked 2026-09-08, the business runs an online ordering system alongside pages for its full menu, drinks, catering, private parties, jobs, and events, and markets itself as a "Must-Try Pizza" destination in San Diego. The site also links to Facebook, Instagram, and Google business pages for the restaurant. No additional independent source with a 2026 date was found in this pass to corroborate the site's content, so the record rests on the business's own current website.
