“Fast & Delicious! This dominos knocks others out of the park. Wife mentioned their gf pizza (not pictured) was the best she's tasted though we did our easy order that we've done a million times. Was the 1st time we've ordered at this domino's, and way happy. Will likely be our new go-to.“
“The whole dining experience was wonderful. The restaurant staff, food and atmosphere. Everyone was welcoming and made us feel so comfortable, like we were guests in their home. The wine suggestions were helpful and paired perfectly with our dishes, caprese appetizer, then lasagna and sea bass. We ended with an after dinner drink and an Tiramisu. Amazing food! Thank you for a memorable dinner! We will definitely recommend to others and return ourselves when in San Diego area.“
“Great dinner had at this restaurant. It’s a busy place so be sure to make reservations. We had the pasta with clams and chicken with kale…both were really tasty. We also had the beet salad and goat cheese appetizer…both were awesome.“
“We had a reservation, we ordered an appetizer, pizza and salad, all came out at the same time quite quickly, and while they were very attentive to our table we felt like we were being kicked out around the 1 hour mark so it was not as relaxing or paced out as we typically prefer. Great bread, pesto and marinara! Good burrata and pizza for 2, would recommend!“
“This was one of the places listed for best pizza in the San Diego area in some article. The interior is actually really spacious. The food was really good. We got the octopus for the appetizer, pepperoni pizza, and pasta each. Pasta portion was pretty good. Not too much. The pizza was good but was a bit floppy.“
“Quality pizza that you will pay for.But that's good sometimes. One small pizza and a couple drinks is enough, the list is not intimidating and can be fun to look at.We had the What I think was the "Bees Mode" salami and hot honey and the "you saw it coming" pepperoni and jalapeño, names may be incorrect but I did have more than one drink.“
“I have been coming here for over a year now! The food is amazing, and the staff are outstanding! Mike and Kimberly are hard working and it shows when you walk through the door! Smiles all around and a great atmosphere!! I'm from NY and I have what it takes to really understand good taste as well as quality pizza! Love, “
“First time here. Been hearing about this spot for a while so decided to check it out. Ordered the Special, 2 slices and drink for $9! Had the sausage and a mushroom slice. Good flavor and crust, nothing extraordinary about it, but one of the better slices I’ve had in SD.“
“Honestly, 5 stars is not even enough of a rating. The service that my wife and I received was great and the pizza was amazing. We were surprised by how quickly the food was made. We went on our anniversary and to top it off they gave us a delicious desert. If you are looking to try authentic Italian pizza, this is the place you're looking for!“
“Excellent food. Generous proportions. The ravioli was especially good. Had half and half. Lasagna was other selection. Side salad was very large with a nice variety besides lettuce. Friends each had pizza and they were very pleased with them. One had half of her pizza with clam and garlic and wouldn't choose that again. The other half was especially good.“
“Came here during their happy hour and they offer some pretty good deals. Got their mastiff fries, Brussels sprouts, and smash burger slider. Each of these were $5. They also offer $5 off all their whole pizzas. Took advantage of this and ordered their That's My Boy pizza. Suuuuuper good. Comes with pepperoni, ricotta cheese, jalapeño, honey, and red sauce. The balance of spiciness and sweetness is perfect. I noticed they had a bunch of beers on draft so it would be a great place to chill and have some drinks, too.“
“The food was delicious and service was excellent but the ambulance was terrible due to how loud it is, been there for a Saturday dinner and I needed earplugs to avoid ear pain with how loud a few tables are. I understand it's out of control of the restaurant how the other patrons behave. The restaurant was spot on for their food and service.“
“This pizza is out of this world! I love it! It's my all time favorite. They've always been great, but since their reopening, it's like they keep getting better. How do they do it? Their food is great, their cooks are amazing and their staff is so friendly and welcoming. You really feel like you are at home here. It's a small modest place, but it's my favorite spot. I think, it's because this is a family business and you can tell they do what they love. That's one ingredient no pizza chain can give you. Keep on doing what you are doing Fernando's Pizza!“
“I recently tried TNT Pizza for takeout and was thoroughly impressed! The crust was perfectly crispy yet fluffy, and the toppings were fresh and generously portioned. The flavor combinations were unique and delicious, leaving me craving more with every bite. Overall, TNT Pizza exceeded my expectations and I'll definitely be ordering from them again soon!“
“I have eaten at hundreds of restaurants in San Diego and not even once have I met someone as professional as Drew.He was attentive and took his time with our party. More than that, he was absolutely hilarious yet in the most professional way. I am really so impressed with the restaurant that they are able to find this type of talent.Drew is an amazing guy and we will definitely be visiting again when he is working there. Sincerely, the best waiter I have ever had. I wish I had more words to describe him.Thanks North Italia“
“10/10. Forgot it was fire roasted chicken so I almost burned my tongue ? it was so worth going here for dinner. ? spent just under $25. Plenty of leftovers for breakfast if you save your leftovers like I do. ? does not disappoint. The wait is not a problem but I can see why some with no time may not like that but this is not fast food. So be prepared to also sit tight (about average - 10min or so while I found street parking and walked back). I promise you it’s worth it. :) This was so worth the quality of the food it just melts in your mouth. I could not finish all of it. Had to take it home. ? ? the atmosphere is so beautiful… plenty of outdoor seating. Indoor is for order placing and order pickup as well as their fire roasted oven and kitchen. It’s so good. ?Parking: Parking ?️ on the street. Plan to walk.“
“my favorite restaurant of all time! the service is always impecable and it is the best food you can dream of for vegans and non vegans alike. they can cater to a wide range of allergies including (but not limited to) gluten free, nut free, and soy free. the wait staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the food and beverage selection and are so kind and helpful if you have any questions. the outdoor patio is beautiful with plants all around and the ambiance inside is lovely as well. my fiancé and i are having our wedding reception at donna jean and everybody at the restaurant has been so helpful every step of my planning. we are so excited to share our favorite restaurant with our friends and family. i would genuinely give 10 stars if i couldDietary restrictions: i can’t imagine a lot of dietary restrictions they are unable to accommodate.“
“Caution, the food is HUGE! Our waitress, Tina, is the best! We ordered Chicken Parmigiana dinner. It comes with side of lasagna (recommend) or spaghetti/ravioli and soup, salad, and garlic bread. Super full for two. Their pizza looks amazing. We would love to come back for it.“
“Wow heard about Alexander's and went there after my wife's Art on 30th show. Unbelievable italian and we will be going back frequently. None of our meals weren’t anything but fantastic! Now parking is another thing - uber if you can.“
“Me and my girlfriend had an amazing experience at Concepto Pizza. The sub I ordered was delicious – the flavors were just perfect. It’s not just food; it’s a taste experience that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a great meal. A must-try for sure!“
“Came across this gem on a trip to San Diego. After a wild night out the next day we were craving pizza and this place happened to be down the street from our hotel. The service was fast and friendly and pizza delicious. Let me tell you we loved it so much we came back the next day for some more and took some to go for our plane ride lol.“
“We had a great experience at Garage Buona! Atmosphere is rustic but very clean and inviting. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Food was great! We shared a salad and lasagna bolognes. Plenty of food for two lightweight adults.Parking: You might have to walk a bit if you park on the street but the restaurant is in a lovely urban area with great shops along the way.“
“I didn’t eat because I ate about 20 minutes before I stopped in. The brick oven caught my eye and I had a few minutes to kill and wanted a beer. The selection of beer was limited but for a pizza eater that knows what one likes with their beer. Uber clean dining and galley. The masters know what they are doing. If I had a 3rd thumb, it would be up.Kid-friendliness: No sharp corners.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy“
“Insanely good pizza and gelato and so many fun options. Favorites were the Ira (meat lover’s) and the bell pepper pizza. The cacio e pepe one was simple but good, the potato one was fun and unexpected, and the arugula one was pretty dang good too. We had the lemon cookie gelato mixed with stracciatella and it was so good. Not crazy prices either.“
“We stop in every time we’re in San Diego. Love, love their pasta & meatballs!They have a collection of Chicago memorabilia and an assortment of IL license plates on the wall. They were kind enough to add this plate that belonged to our son. Very special for us. ♥️“
“Nothing beats Sisters….Quality ingredients, skillfully made by downright wonderful people.They now make the best take-home frozen pizza I’ve ever had. Delicious and not packed with preservatives. A new staple in my freezer for the days when it starts raining in San Diego, which is every day now. lol.The killer cob salad it amazing but really the whole menu is stellar. Wouldn’t be surprised if they get a Michelin mention someday.You guys rock!“

“The best little mom and pop pizzeria I've been to ! Harley is the best when it comes to customer service! This is why I tell my friends and co-workers from southwest airlines to try this place. If you never tried Mexican style pizza,head it over to El Jefes.“
“Love this place. Their BBQ chicken pizza is my favorite. It's always the perfect crisp. I love all the toppings in this pizza. Very consistent. And their sweet chili & lemon pepper wings are really good. Packed with flavor. Tried the wagyu sliders but they were NOT a hit. Wasn't flavorful, kinda blain, basic and were so sad the tater tots had no flavor at all. But hella crispy. Atmosphere is cool, tvs and little bar top. The staff is ok. Overall, I'll keep going back.“
“In a world of chain pizza options Zia's is a treasure. I am usually a deep dish, more cheese the better type gal. But the good crust, unique flavor options don't need to be smothered in cheese and fluff. I love yhis placeVegetarian options: I AM NOT VEGETARIAN, but I love many of the unique meatless options“

“Pesto Italian Craft Kitchen continues to impress with their terrific pizzas, pastas, salads, and paninis. I've returned several times since 2021 and have had several different items, including a most recent Pistachio Burrata Pizza with imported prosciutto and a garnish of chopped pistachios and arugula.The pizza's crust is fantastic and offers great texture and flavor. The milky mozzarella cheese with the prosciutto is bliss. I liked that they were not heavy-handed on the balsamic but drizzled just enough to bring the pizza together nicely.On a previous date, I had the gnocchi Verona with pesto, bacon, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. If you like gnocchi and pesto, this one is a winner. New on their menu for spring is the vegetable calzone filled with fresh crisp vegetables and harvest pear salad. They are both wonderful.A while back, I had the Prime Steak Panini with a delicious and juicy prime flat iron steak. The panini comes with "Prime steak, pesto, banana peppers, provolone cheese, pickled cucumber and arugula" (Pesto Italian Craft Kitchen, 2024). This panini is a must if you like steak and paninis. It's a winner!One thing I love about Pesto Craft Kitchen is that every time I return, they seem to be elevated their food to new heights.“
“Best pizza in southern California bar none. The Alfredo pizzas are amazing, so are the deluxe and Mexican pizzas. I ordered an Alfredo special pizza with eggplant parmesan, which they were glad to do and it was super delicious. THE best pizza joint I've ever been to, highly recommended.“
“My family and i are visiting from las vegas and we went to Calianos after st. Patty's day and the staff was awesome. There was a miscommunication on our part and they took care of it. Food in my opinion is one of the best in san diego. Christian, Alfonso, and Aaron handled it very well and their customer service was A1. Thank you guys.“
“Traveling from out of state and found this lovely small owned restaurant. Wonderful customer service, good is all cooked fresh and it’s such a welcoming environment! Definitely recommendParking: Lots of parking spots!Kid-friendliness: Has a highchair, very interactive with them“
“*amazing* food, superfun vibe, and a really great selection of guest taps (the BLAH house beers are, well, exactly as advertised - BLAH. ??♀️)I especially like the Highland Park Brewing beers (the pb stout Meryl) and the beers from Living Haus - standouts amid a week of standout beers! ?I had the Harvest pizza today - sweet potatoes, broccolini, really delish sauce “
“I ordered from this restaurant on a whim on a Friday night because they had a short delivery time, and my children were starving. We got a plain cheese pizza, which was really good. The crust is nice and soft and I really like the tomato sauce. We also ordered an Italian sandwich. It is so good, I ordered without Mustard and mayo and requested Italian dressing instead. They were thoughtful and put the Italian dressing on the side, so the sandwich was not soggy when I got it. And they put a ton of deli meat on the sandwich. We will definitely order from here again.“
“Stopped by today for lunch while getting a charge on my car and ordered their lunch special of pizza and salad. I had a slice with spinach, artichokes, and I think an Alfredo base, and the guy taking our order recommended the Greek salad. Both were excellent and made a fantastic lunch, I wish I wasn't just passing through or I would be back later today or tomorrow to try some of their other slices. If I had one critique it might be that the tables could have used a wipe down as it was tough to find a relatively clean one. Maybe they just wrapped up a lunchtime rush, however. Definitely hope to get another opportunity to visit in the future.“
“Really liked this place. Stumbled on this hidden gem and I wasn't disappointed. I was attracted by the "by-the-slice" pizza options. The Stromboli was an excellent grab and go option with serious flavor. The cannoli was worth a return trip by itself! The guys I ordered with were quick to help and funny. You are missing out if you don't give this place a try. It was excellent food for a great deal.“
“Lucca's Pizzeria and Market is a culinary gem! I recently savored their Margarita pizza, fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, meatball calzone, Lucca's special pizza, and desserts – each dish was a masterpiece. From the tangy Margarita pizza to the comforting lasagna, every bite was a delight. The service was impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond. Lucca's is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!“
“The burgers were so delicious. Better than In n Out! We waited about 20 minutes in line and then another 15 or 20 for the food but it was still totally worth it. I highly recommend! The pizza smelled super incredible, too.Wheelchair accessibility: Probably not good access for a wheelchair. The doorways are tight and there are such long lines, it may be challenging.“
“I didn't like it the first time I ate here but years later I came back and am pleased to say everything was phenomenal! Maybe they had a different chef or even a bad night when I first went here but it was great to see such remarkable improvement! Will definitely eat here again now. They should put the nascar spritz back on the menu; it's not that hard to stock miller high life.“
“THE PIZZA is fantastic. One of my favorites in La Mesa. I prefer to eat at the location it is great for groups of friends and teams to gather and enjoy a meal together. The place gets packed but it is always fun and there is always a great neighbor or friend there making the place feel like personal.Kid-friendliness: All paper and plastic makes it easy to clean up, picnic benches makes it easy to serve, open seating find a place that works for your family.“
“The food is phenomenal. The service is wonderful. The marinara made me sing Puccini and the alfredo made me weep like Pagliacci. The garlic bread alone is why San Diego doesn't have any vampires. Please do yourself a favor and eat here. At least weekly.“
“Great food, great people, great restaurant. Here is the best Italian food and vibe you can get in San Diego County. I recommend this place to anyone who will listen. This might be the only true New York/New Jersey-esque Italian restaurant in Southern California. It's the kind of place you want your Italian restaurant to be. It's the kind of place you'll feel glad to bring a first date, or your grandma, or a friend from out of town.Pietro's even catered my rehearsal dinner and it was a real hit. Can't recommend this place higher!“

“We LOVE coming here. We reserve a table every week and always have the most amazing time, especially when Juan is our server. He is, by far, the best of the best. He makes us feel like valued guests and goes above and beyond to ensure we are well taken care of. The food and the comfort here is such a a blessing to our community. We're so happy for this location and will be loyal patrons for years to come.“
“New, small place in Rancho San Diego. Haven't had the pizza (I'm a pizza snob) yet but the Italian Torpedo was great. Thickish cuts of meat, shredded lettuce which is great and the key was the good Italian roll which was toasted the right way. You can get mayo on it which I did but I also put their Italian dressing on it. The dressing is really good and DIFFERENT. A refreshing change of pace to dressing. I'm curious to try the calzone.Parking: Busy in afternoons with a Habit Burger right there.Kid-friendliness: Kids love pizza.“
“Its been 10 years since i reviewed this place ... i moved away and came back to SD and had a lot of pizza in between, i've also had Luigi a fair amount of times over the years and i think, just maybe , I didn't know what quality pizza was back 10 years ago, i apologize to Luigi's and can say they are one of the tops in the city“
“My wife and I have been here 6 times. It’s our favorite place in SD. Great atmosphere. Great service. Terrific food.I’ve had the ribeye 4 times, it’s always consistently perfect. I would happily pay $30 more than what they charge for the ribeye.The spicy rigatoni is phenomenal. The branzino is outstanding.We usually get out for around $220ish with drinks, apps and entrees and each time I feel like it’s still greet value. It’s just that good!“
“I ordered it online and they were quick to complete my order. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and kids chicken quesadilla. The food was great. In regards to the pizza, the crust was thin just like I like it. The sauce was flavorful, and there was enough pepperoni on it. That's for the quesadillas. There were three Chicken quesadillas. I asked for only Monterey Jack cheese on it because they put both of them according to what I read, and they followed the instructions completely. I appreciate that because my great niece does not like the orange cheese as she calls it lol.“
“Overall, large quantity and love that you can do a split pizza. The garlic knot crust is unique.Food:Quantity was more than enough for 4, love that theres a split option pizza and many vegetarian options that are out of the box. Enjoyed the garlic knot crust!I ordered this on ubereats and everything came with it like plates, i wish they gave pepper and cheese. That was the only thing missing!“
“We stopped for a quick bite before our movie. We decided to go for the special 2 XL slices of pizza and one drink. One slice of pepperoni pizza and another meat lovers. They were both cooked to perfection and had a great taste. The slices are on the bigger side and for the price they're not bad at all. Everyone was super friendly and attentive.“
