After years spent perfecting his barbecue craft at acclaimed kitchens like Fort Oak and Grand Ole BBQ, Jamma struck out on his own in 2023, earning a loyal following for his richly smoked meats and housemade sauces. Now, his operation has found a permanent home, serving a full menu of Texas-style favorites alongside pizzas and pub fare from Market St. Pizza. The collaboration brings together two local talents - but it’s pitmaster Paul Jamma, already recognized for producing some of San Diego’s best barbecue brisket, who’s likely to steal the show.
From half-pound brisket and pulled pork plates to ribs, coleslaw, and BBQ fries, every bite reflects Jamma’s meticulous approach - meat smoked low and slow, sauces made from scratch, and sides that deliver balance rather than filler. Whole briskets, racks of ribs, and bulk sides are also available to-go, catering to families and local events.
Market St. Pizza rounds out the partnership with a lineup of scratch-made pizzas, smashburgers, salads, and fried appetizers, making the venue an easy neighborhood stop for both casual dinners and weekend feasts. The shared menu ensures there’s something for everyone - whether you’re craving wings, mozzarella sticks, or a slab of Jamma’s caramelized, smoke-ringed brisket.
With a blend of authentic craft barbecue and family-friendly fare, the new Chollas View eatery is a welcome addition to an underserved pocket of San Diego’s food scene. For Paul Jamma, it’s the next step in a journey defined by passion, precision, and perseverance - proof that the city’s next big thing in barbecue has already arrived.
Paul Jamma’s BBQ and Market St. Pizza are now open at 4676 Market Street, Suite A02, in San Diego's Chollas View neighborhood. For more information, follow @pjamma619 on Instagram.
