50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Lemon Grove

“Food is good and the service is great.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Check your order before leaving the establishment! Ask for a receipt! I never eat pizza, but I was craving it. I paid for a Hawaiian pizza. They gave me a pepperoni pizza. I didn’t see it until I got home. Thankful they made a fresh one for me on the spot.

While I waited for them to fix my order someone used the online pizza portal to pick up an order and they, too had a wrong order and had to have her fixed.“

“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 😀“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and the service was splendid.“

“Best pizza in the valley!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Cucumber Salad felt light for its price. I didnt like that it was cut long ways either personally. Facundo was a friendly server. The whole staff helped out with bussing the table. Would come again but will not be ordering the cucumber salad the pizza and calamari were great.“

“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.“

“The best eggplant parm around“

“Came here after watching on DDD“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

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

“Pizza was excellent! Meatball spinach and pepperoni...pie was perfectly thin. Nice balance of toppings and delicious flavor.

Edit oct 2026
Still love the pizza and flavor but the last couple pizzas have been too thick! Please make thinner again!“

“One of the best pizzas I’ve had in San Diego and an even better cheesy bread. My husband and I have sat down for slices, taken a pie to go and had some delivered to the house. All great experiences! We tried the sopranos pizza tonight for the first time and it’s our new favorite!“

“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.“

“Was in San Diego for a family reunion and found this restaurant by accident. Great place for some good Italian food. After living in Italy for a number of years nice to discover a place who knows how to prepare authentic Italian food. Next time we come to San Diego we will be enjoying food at Tavola Nostra Pizzeria e Cucina. Grazie per tutte - cibo e buono .“

“Amazingly delicious! Can’t wait to go back! From Boston😎“

“I’ve been ordering from this place for over a year now. Their pizza is good I like their dough the only problem is that EVERYTIME but I mean EVERYTIME you order the pizza special from them, they ALWAYS FORGET the soda or the straw or even give you a flat soda which is not worth serving that to customers.“

“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“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!!“

“Great staff and great food.“

“I tour all over the country with bands, I am the pizza connoisseur! This pizza was absolutely hands down the best I have had in a very long time through out all my travels across our country! Everything, from the crunchy of the crust, the sweetest sauce that was just amazing! Thank you for a great pizza!!! The best!! Can't wait to get back again soon!!! The staff was kind and respectful and I felt safe and sound in a clean environment!! You rock!!!“

“The pizza and subs were excellent marinara off the hook garlic knots awesome will be eating there again 🙌🏻🍕🥖“

“The clerk was a nice guy but not keen on the obvious. I ordered a 15 piece wing combo and he asked if that was for here or to go. Who would dine in and eat 15 wings by himself? Chuckled all the way home. Poor guy.“

“pork nugs, salad, wings,.pizza. it's all delicious.“

“Excelente Servicio, Excelente Comida, La mejor Chef De Nolita Hall, Michel Peregrino, Muy Recomendable Todo.“
