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!

The pizza is great, the crust is even better. My wife's favorite is the Pollo Toscano. Mine is the seafood linguine. Family owned, restaurant is in the corner of the strip mall, and it just feels as if you're eating in a family's friend italian dining room.
Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing customer service!! The waiters made us laugh, I believe it was the owner that came out and asked it was our first time, He made us laugh. I had the most wonderful time. OMG highly recommended! Best food I’ve ever eaten.
Pietro's is an amazing Italian restaurant hidden in the corner of a cute shopping center. The food is amazing and Pietro's sauce is to die for. I had the gnocchi al pietro and am still dreaming of this meal. This family owned business is amazing.

Sorely disappointed with my pizza. I called in my order for a large pepperoni with meatballs and extra cheese and ended up with a poor quality pepperoni pizza. The quality was so bad that we threw the leftovers in the trash. Because of time constraints, I was unable to return to the restaurant to correct my order. I won't be ordering from them again. Check your pizza before you leave and before you tip.

Very authentic. Fantastic pizza and bread here! Have not tried the more expensive dishes on the menu; however, the simple ones like pizza, spaghetti, meatballs etc are very very good.

We really enjoy Pietro's. I have been coming here with our family for over 35 years. It's so nice to come in and be remembered.Dietary restrictions: They do have some gluten free options.
I love this spot. Just an intimate local place where you feel like family. Vinny, our waiter, was as kind and attentive as could be. Great recommendations for our entrees. The creamy pesto sauce was delicious, and the baked rigatoni did not disappoint.

This place has the best pizza and meatball sandwich in town. I’ve had food up and down the north east, and this place is the only place on the west coast that takes me back home. Family, tradition, good service, and good food. It’s got it all. Thank you Luciano.
