What Your Regents Order Says About You
The pizza gods have spoken. You, our dear friend, are not just ordering pizza. You are revealing something.
Are you a go-big-or-go-home Chicago Pizza? A quietly-knows-best Chicago Top Down? A keep-it-classic New York-style? Or are you the person ordering all three because you know “I’m good with anything” is not real information?
If you’ve ever debated Chicago vs New York pizza, considered the emotional difference between deep dish pizza and thin crust pizza, or searched for the best pizza in San Diego and ended up here, this is your sign.
Read on to discover your inner slice identity.
But First, The Pizza
Regents Pizzeria has a few different pizza lanes, which is helpful because no two people enter a pizza order with the same emotional needs.
Chicago Pizza is the heavy hitter. Two layers of dough, tons of cheese, sauce on top, and a thick, hearty build that makes a strong case for Chicago-style pizza in San Diego. It is not the order you choose because you are “kind of hungry.” It is the order you choose because you are ready to commit.
Chicago Top Down Pizza is the Regents spin on deep dish: deep crust, cheese, sauce on top, and no top layer of dough. It keeps the Chicago-style comfort, but brings the cheese, sauce, and toppings right to the surface.
New York-style Pizza is the classic. Hand-spun dough, thin foldable crust, stone-deck oven bake, and all the reasons people keep coming back to New York-style pizza in San Diego when they want something easy, familiar, and extremely hard to argue with.
Now that we’ve covered the facts, let’s get personal.
If You Order Chicago Pizza
You don’t do things halfway, and we like that about you.
Warm, generous, and impossible to miss, you bring full-send energy in the best way. You like things with substance, plans that actually become plans, and bringing twice as much as you need because what if it’s not enough?
You are comforting without being quiet, dependable without being boring, and just extra enough to make everyone glad you showed up.
Your strengths:
All in, every time
Brings comfort and confidence in equal measure
Has enough energy for the whole table
Your weaknesses:
Accidentally becomes responsible for everything (you’re just built for it)
Has never, not once, done the bare minimum
Gets a little nervous when no one has a plan
Your order says: I go big, but I make it look good.
If You Order Chicago Top Down
You are not here to do less. You are here to do it your way.
You can spot a good thing immediately and know how to make it feel even more like you. You’re not here to tone things down or make them smaller. You just know how to take something bold and wear it well. There is a confidence to you, the kind that makes people think, “Wait, should I be doing that too?”
You are not chasing the obvious move. You are choosing the one that feels most like you.
Your strengths:
Makes bold choices feel effortless
Knows exactly what works for you
Has taste without making it a whole performance
Your weaknesses:
Hard to surprise (you already knew what you wanted)
Gets a little saucy when something is almost right
Can be hard to impress
Your order says: I’m not a minimalist. I’m intentional.
If You Order New York Pizza
You don’t need the validation and you’re not looking for it.
You are calm, clear, and very hard to rattle. You do not need to make a big case for your choices because your choices tend to make the case for you. There is a quiet confidence to that, and yes, people notice.
You like what works. You trust a good thing when you see it. You are not here to complicate the obvious just because everyone else got bored.
Your strengths:
Knows who they are
Never needs the room to agree
Makes confident look effortless

Quietly folds on trends that don’t make sense (literally)
Has strong opinions about people who over-complicate things
Can be suspicious of anything that needs too much explaining
Your order says: I know a good thing when I see it.
If You Order All Three
You are the room reader.
You know that “anything is fine” usually comes with conditions. You can pick up on the person who wants options, the person who does not want to be difficult, and the person who will absolutely have an opinion once it is too late.
You are thoughtful without making it obvious. People feel taken care of around you because you notice the small stuff and make it easier for everyone else.
Your strengths:
Reads the room quickly
Makes everyone feel considered
Keeps things moving
Your weaknesses:
None. You understood the assignment.
Your order says: This isn’t my first rodeo.
