Nothing separates good from great pizza like crusts and in my opinion Filippi’s produces one of the top two or three best pizza crusts I’ve tasted in 60+ years of dining. The rest of their ingredients are likewise excellent and their prices are quite reasonable, particularly considering the quality and location. Plenty of room inside for larger parties and a well-stocked deli for your takeaway needs.
I read so many negative reviews about Filippi's Pizza Grotto I had 2nd thoughts about trying it out this restaurant but the Hotel I was staying at said that they had great food so I tried it. "WOW the service was great our server Megan was great the food was unbelieveable . I don't know why these people that had bad things to say about this place and the food and service but I don't usually wright reviews but I had to let people know try this place out and you will love it" Try Filippi's Pizza Grotto and you will see for your self How great they are.
Recommended to us by Trolley Bus driver, good food, good house wine, reasonably priced, would go agin.
I had a veggie pizza and dinner salad from here and while the salad wasn’t exactly to my liking, the pizza was excellent. It was a good quality salad, just not my cup of tea. Everything on the pizza tasted fresh and high quality. They mozzarella tasted great. And my favorite thing about the pizza was probably how it wasn’t over salted and seasoned the way a lot of pizza chain style pizzas usually are. I didn’t feel awful after eating this pizza the way I would a chain pizza place.The restaurant itself was very chill and welcoming and everyone I talked to was very nice and attentive.
The food was Amazing!! The service too. She was very attentive and professional.The pizza crust was tasty and so delicious and soft. The cheese in the other hand; OMFG delicious!!!! Everything came together like a harmony. I'll keep coming back here!
Wow old school unpretentious Italian food. I had Eggplant Parmesan sandwich. Thick delicious slices of eggplant with just the right amount of breading, wonderful simple marinara, just enough cheese on an Italian hoagie roll. Much better than the tough eggplant parm I had in Vegas last week for twice the price. My travel companions had the lasagna and fettuccine and were over the moon with the simplicity and delicious flavors. A great lunch- and the cannoli was spot on
Good Pie and Good service. We will be back here for dinner when in the area. The pizza was better than we have had for some time.
We have been to this restaurant before over 15 years ago so I was excited to go back. Honestly, the food was a little bland. I ordered a pizza and it was not very flavorful. Plus our waitress wasn't very helpful with ordering. My son ordered a large salad and we didn't realize a large salad would feed 4+ people. The only thing she asked is if we had eaten there before. I wish she would have helped us more in the ordering process. Cute restaurant but we probably won't be back.
The best Italian food I’ve ever have! Talk to the waiter and order the specials Anything with the marinara sauce it’s going to be great The lasagna is a must, specially with meatballs The terrace is very good with a nice view, and the prices are very fair! Will go back for sure
This is one of the places where my son always wants to eat when we visit him in San Diego. The front of the restaurant is an Italian market with meats, cheeses, cookies, and other yummy delicacies. I always grab a bag of their specialty cookies on the way out. Food here is always plentiful and very reasonably priced. We always get a salad to share, which gives all of us plenty but doesn't ruin our appetite for the delicious spaghetti that we get.
