The best pizza in San Diego apparently wasn’t a hit with Valley diners.
Ambrogio15, which has been voted San Diego’s best pizza by several publications, has closed its first out-of-state location at Biltmore Fashion Park.
The elegant concept reportedly spent more than $1 million to redesign the former California Pizza Kitchen on the northeast corner of Camelback and 24th Street.
The modern Italian restaurant specialized in Milanese-style pizzas with paper-thin crusts made with hand-washed flour imported from a 192-year-old flour mill in the province of Piacenza, just southeast of Milan.
(Ambrogio15’s name referred to Ambrogio, the patron saint of Milan, and the size of its pizzas – 15 inches.)
The food menu, curated by Michelin-starred chef Silvio Salmoiraghi and executive chef Fabio Pizzigoni, also offered appetizers, crudos, pastas, seafood, steaks, and other dinner entrees.
Its cocktail list was created by famed mixologist Marco Russo, founder of Bar 1930 in Milano, Italy.
