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!!!“

“Outstanding staff! Great food! A must go!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The team here is honestly one of the highlights of the whole experience 😄✨ They’re energetic, charismatic, and clearly enjoy what they do, which makes the service feel warm and genuinely welcoming. From the moment we walked in, we felt taken care of — the hospitality was truly top-notch! 🙌
And the food? Absolutely incredible. 🍕🔥 The menu is creative and refreshingly unique, offering everything from rich, classic combinations like pepperoni with mascarpone to an impressive selection of vegan pizzas. It’s not just an afterthought — the plant-based options are just as exciting and flavorful! 🌱
My friends and I tried several varieties, and we all agreed that the Monday Night Best was our favorite vegan pizza — it really stood out. 😍 That said, the vegan butternut squash and the Shiny were very close runners-up and just as memorable. Every bite felt thoughtfully crafted and full of bold flavors.
Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with amazing vibes, delicious food, and outstanding service. I’d happily come back again and again! 💛“

“Tried this spot and it did not disappoint! We had the Pineapple Express pizza and the rigatoni, both were super good. I randomly asked if they could make the pizza heart-shaped just for fun and didn’t really expect it to happen, but they actually did it! Such a fun little touch. Everything tasted fresh and we left happy. Would definitely come back and recommend!“

“I’ve gone here twice in the last couple months and both times they had great movies on the TV. Avengers Endgame and Avatar 2. If I had more time on my hands I definitely would’ve sat down and hung out watching both movies. Whoever is in charge of movie selection, keep it up. Pizza is fantastic too. I recommend the testarossa“

“I found Angry Petes Pizza on istanstgram and had to try it out. The Pizza was good but the sauce was a little sweet for my taste. The onion rings was out of this world. looking to return soon. the Mackinaw island fudge is a plus.“

“I really love this place. It’s always very clean, and both the staff and the owners are genuinely kind, welcoming, and friendly. Every time I come here, I don’t feel like just another customer — I truly feel like part of the place.

Even when I stop by to pick up orders for deliveries, they always greet me with a warm smile and a positive attitude, which honestly makes a big difference.

Overall, it’s a wonderful place with great people. I highly recommend 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 went to have dinner with my family. we ordered the family deal which came with an appetizer a large salad a large Alfredo pasta to share and a large pizza we order half al pastor and half meat parade we were 5 and we all left full everything was delicious.Owner was veryhelpful and the food was great 👍we found our new spot“

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

“I am visiting from Washington state and read about The Friendly in an article. I saw that it was close. and thought it would be great to check out. I am so thankful I did. It was absolutely amazing. 10000000/10 would recommend!!“

“This is a gem of a place. Excellent pizza, fantastic service, and the gelato - YUM!!! It's been around for decades, the founder Pauly is in there early every morning to make the dough and sauce. Authentic and oh so good. Mona is wonderful as well.

They have a sketchy competitor who chose a similar name - don't get fooled. Pauly's Pizza Joint is the only Pizza Joint to go to.

Not the best business park, but their corner is charming inside.“

“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!!“

“Great place, great food, service is excellent, everybody is having a good time and it shows, this place is a must in SD, whether you go as a couple or with friends, definitely recommended!!!“

“Pasta and pizzas are delicious. Prices are very reasonable.“

“We just went with our daughter’s entire water polo team and everyone here was so kind. The owners got a big outdoor table set up for the girls, the food was amazing, and the service was perfect. Hope to come again when we are in San Diego next!“

“Valentin was our waiter and he is excellent, the best!“

“This is the best pizza in San Diego. Not only is the food unbelievably good, the service is truly impeccable. I had the pleasure of meeting the Senior GM of their San Diego locations and you can tell he has a passion for his work. Eating at prince street reminds me of going to DisneyLand - it’s a great time alone, or with friends and family & you’ll always remember your experience.“

“Absolutely love this place. been here multiple times always the best, a whole pie or a slice. happy. the sauce is so good it's like a sweet basil italian. it's thin and I normally like thicker crust but it is so good. a staple in my home minimum once a month“

“Went to this establishment yesterday, on the 21st of September, and ordered the Capone Pizza. Great food, even better service! Pizza was very flavorful and I was able to call ahead to order. Would recommend this place to anyone staying near the Gaslamp District, as it is nearby and they have generous portions. 5/5!“

“The owner is a super cool guy I got to meet him during one of my visits to this place. The pizza is great amazing flavor. The sauce has great flavor. The garlic knots are crispy on the outsized and soft on the inside. I bought a whole pie here for my coworkers and I. They have gone here for lunch now as well.“

“Great please to get charged“

“My new Go-To spot for Pizza in San Diego! I'm from out of state and man some of the best thin pizza I've had in years. And best overall pizza I've had lately.

The Owner's are very respectful and amazing service. Tip them big to support them as a local business and not corporate. I ate here 3 days in a row while I was in town. You won't get bloated like from other thick pizza spots since it's not heavy on bread or grease.

They have all kinds of toppings for anybody's personal taste. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed! 😁“

“Love this place! sit at the bar every time. Dylan and Christian are great!!“

“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!“

“This is a great deal for $9.99 large pizza. It tasted really good and was fresh and ready fast. The fellow who helped me was friendly and the fact they had a parking area on the side was very helpful. Place was clean and I'm planning to go back. The atmosphere is really not a factor here because you don't sit and eat this is a pickup place and well worth it“

“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 🤗“

“Really yummy pizza by the slice and by the pie and sooooo many options. Fast, friendly service and did I mention delicious pizza? Will definitely be returning to try different menu options.“

“Great pizza!! This location is very convenient, quick and the pizza is amazing!! Our whole family loved it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new place to order from! We will definitely be back!“

“Fool was locked out got me what I wanted“

“Not sure about the bad publicity that all seems to come about 5 months ago. I went here over a year ago. Was the best pizza I have had for 30 years. Yeah, I don't get out much. I was peddling my bicycle around and got lost. Was pretty damn hungry when I ordered. This is not a grab and go joint. You are not going to get your order in two minutes like 7-11 where they have a machine that can cook a frozen thing and call it pizza. The crust was greatest. The toppings not packed on like other places that think more stuff means better. I went outside to eat because I was sweaty and gamey. Went back in, gave a second tip and shook the owners hand.“

“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.“

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

“Ryan, the owner, was extremely kind to us. Very charismatic and hard-working man who runs an honest business. Made conversation with us while preparing the food, was very energetic and funny. Atmosphere is really cool, every wall has something to look at and it feels very cozy and nice. Food came out relatively quick and was extremely good, definitely way better than any of the common pizza brands. Great menu variety, I had the Hawaiian BBQ and everything about it was incredible.“

“Love the food and amazing service ♥️one a my best place!!!!!!!“

“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.“
