50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Lemon Grove

“Food is good and the service is great.“

“This place is pupper approved! We were doing laundry close by and my pupper kept begging to go in. The staff were so sweet about her refusal to leave the doorway. They talked sweetly to her each time and laughed with her. Unfortunately we did not have time to try their pizza or subs but the customer service was top notch!“

“Awesome family owned business. Great food. Been around for decades.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Kind, polite. Nice to talk to and I absolutely appreciate that. But this pizza pie is on point. It's delicious. It's clean. It's light you eat a whole pot every few weeks and do it a dough cleanse and it takes everything out of your body. It's wonderful. Nothing else can do that.“

“Went in a bit before closing. There wasn't any crazybread ready. I felt a bit guilty to request a fresh batch, but my kids wanted some. Angelo assured me that it wasn't a problem. Great customer service and attitude on the guy. I should add, the breadsticks were bomb!!“

“Thhheeeee absolute BEST pizza on the west coast HANDS DOWN!! Im from Brooklyn, NY and they definitely brought the authentic expirence and taste from home!!! I bring all my friends here! This is one of my happy places! Food-10 Service-10 Location-10 Price-10 😀“

“We have came twice from Denver Colorado and we loveeeeee this pizza! Mike is so welcoming as everyone else is please open one in Denver!!!“

“Great customer service I had the mobile app glitch called in and the manager Claudia helped me will definitely order again“

“Ok, I am from NY and love pizza. I am not a NYC pizza snob though and welcome all iterations of 'za! I have to say that this pizza is probably the best I have ever had of its type. They are "Roman" slices, meaning focaccia crust. Variety of slice options are insane with creative combinations that are not only imaginative, but insanely delicious. Slices are cooked upon ordering for supreme freshness. I especially like the Lussuria - prosciutto, black pepper, mashed potato, mozzarella and olive oil. (I NEVER thought I would like mashed potato on a slice, but it's insanely good.) The help here is amazing as well. Caesar was working the oven and he gave great suggestions and explained the product well. Very inviting and definitely steered me in the right direction. Need gluten free? They got it! Will make a GF slice for you right on the spot. I challenge anyone to have just one slice. I had to go back for 2 more. Enjoy!“

“Best pizza in the valley!“

“Finally! A new pizza shop in La Mesa and it’s delicious. Now I don’t have to go into the Village where parking can be difficult. Love the secret sauce and the craft pizzas. I highly recommend that you give it a try.“

“Wow! This was the best pizza I have had in a long time. The crust was crispy and chewy. The sauce had so much flavor the cheese to toppings ratio was spot on. The pepperoni tasted so good. Like pepperoni is supposed to. When we first got out of the car you could smell the pizza cooking, it was all I could do to not eat a slice while driving home. We will definitely be back.“

“If you are looking for a true Italian experience in San Diego, look no further than Vinarius! We worked with Giuseppe (owner) to host our wedding celebration here back in March, 2023. From the beginning, he was amazing to work with. Incredibly positive and accommodating from the start, we couldn’t have asked for more. The wedding ceremony was planned to be outside and of course, it rained that day. Guiseppe and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowed us to have the small ceremony inside the restaurant on short notice and made an incredible meal to follow. Our guests were blown away and we couldn’t have been happier. We recommend Vinarius to everyone we know and that is thanks to Giuseppe and his awesome staff. Grazie mille!“

“Great food and great service! Food was fresh and expertly prepared! Probably the best service I have ever experienced and the place was busy at the time we were there!!“

“Had a great meal and our server (Kezi) was super cool, very friendly and attentive. Food was so good. Got the spicy cucumbers, little gem Caesar, Blitzkrieg, and Margherita. Everything was very tasty! I loved the Caesar, my friend loved the cucumbers. The pizza: crust was on the thin side but sturdy, nice chew and char, pepperoni was perfect (cup peps, crispy, yummy); Margherita was an excellent of the classic.

Sat outside and it was very lovely, and they have lots of seating inside. Will definitely go again, and if they deliver, will absolutely order!“

“The food was outstanding. The service was great. Tyler was awesome. 5 stars“

“Don’t pass on this hidden GEM. Great gourmet pizza for the advanced palate. Our favorites are the Sweet Southern, New Yorker, and Eggplant. We’ve tried all their veggie pizzas and honestly can’t pick a favorite. The staff is warm, inviting, and feels like family.“

“Came to TNT on the recommendation of a local and holy f*** balls I was blown away. If I had the disposable income I’d buy a private jet and fly to San Diego to eat here once a week and fly home, my carbon foot print would look like a slice of their pizza and I would okay with it cause my belly and soul would be content. Every pizza I have after this will be a disappointment to me.“

“Sisters Pizza has it all; great food; wonderful staff; friendly neighborhood vibe. Love it!!“

“We go here at least once per week and don’t get tired of it because the food is good and they have a large menu. It’s great especially on nights they have live music.“

“I ordered several pizzas with a mix of dairy-free and gluten-free options for a gathering! Thank you for handling such a complicated order so well — we enjoyed the pizzas so much that there were almost no leftovers!! My personal favorite was the chicken tikka masala. The Little Italy went out so fast!“

If you find yourself down in San Diego needing to top off your car battery, Pauly's Pizza Joint is the perfect neighborhood pizza parlor to hit up! It makes for a fantastic, productive pit stop where you can plug in and treat yourself to an amazing meal while you wait. 🔌🚗⚡
The star of the show here is definitely their **good slices**. They serve up classic, large New York-style slices with a beautifully thin, crispy crust that has the perfect fold. 🍕 The cheese-to-sauce ratio is spot on, and they don't skimp on the toppings. It’s exactly what a neighborhood slice shop should taste like—comforting, fresh, and consistently delicious.
But don't just stop at the pizza! Their menu features some incredibly **good sides** as well. 🍟 From perfectly seasoned, crispy garlic knots to hearty wings, everything pairs beautifully with a cold beverage and adds a great variety to your meal. To top it all off, they offer some surprisingly **great desserts** to satisfy your sweet tooth before you hit the road again. 🍪🍰 It’s a complete meal experience from start to finish.
The vibe inside is relaxed, unpretentious, and welcoming, with counter service that is quick and friendly. They get your food out fresh and piping hot, meaning you can easily finish a couple of slices and a treat in the time it takes to get a solid charge on your EV. ⏱️🍕
Whether you are a local or just passing through the area looking for a charging oasis, this place is a rock-solid 4.4-star neighborhood staple that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended! 🌟👌“

“Just tried this pizza and it was amazing! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. The sauce had great flavor and the cheese was melted just right. Every bite tasted fresh and well made. Definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a while. I’ll for sure be coming back again!“

“Really good pizza by the slice here. The owner was friendly on the way in and the way out. The pizza comes out krispy and delicious. Thin crust and full of flavor. They have yummy desserts available too. Patio seating available and a small dining area. There’s free parking in the lot behind the liquor store.

“We eat the pizza and salad at least once a week. The prices are reasonable and the food is great. But let's talk about the staff. Sharpel (not sure I spelled it correctly) this guy remembers every order we've placed. He has such an bright smile. Gunna miss this place when we move back to Arizona. Great job pizza people 🤗“

“Delicious pizza. Tried sesame,grandma and deep dish. Sesame was different but still delicious. Deep dish was a greasy mess but absolutely worth it, my favorite by far. Their grandma was okay. Will come again. Gave customer service a 3 because the cashier looked annoyed to help me, unfortunately.“

“I like there service and food are very Delicious“

“Been going there over 30 years.. Forget those chain pizza places, seriously, this place always feels like home when I go. That guy has heart, and his dough and sauce are on point! Keep it up Sam! Much Love.. I can't believe no one else has posted here till now.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After living in San Diego for 10 years, I finally found the pizza I’ve been searching for — and I couldn’t be happier!

This place makes pizza with tuna, green olives, and eggplant, just like back home. The moment I took my first bite, it brought me straight back to my country and all the memories I grew up with. The flavors are amazing, the dough is perfect, and the ingredients are fresh and generous.

The service is also excellent — friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like family.

I’ve been waiting years to find a place like this, and now that I did, I’m definitely coming back again and again. Highly recommended!“

“Great please to get charged“

“Always have a middle Sicilian slice ready for me when I walk in. Mike and his staff are wizards at creating some of the best NY style pizza in San Diego! a fellow New Yorker, I'm there once a week for obvious reasons. His staff is awesome and they have my order memorized. A must try for those who truly love NY style Pizza!!“

“Chicago style pizza at its finest. Ordered two slices from the case and it was great! Highly recommend.“

“Randee is great! I’ve been coming here for a couple of years and the customer service is always solid. I came in about 10 minutes before closing and Randee was already starting to close up, but he still took my order without any issue. I told him my hungry girlfriend sent me, and he got straight to work. Really appreciate the great service.“
