Solid friends and family space so if you're looking for a more intimate space this might not be the right spot. Traditional pizzas, salads and pastas with good beer menu but limited wine options. Staff is friendly and food is good but go low key ;)

I admit I am not generally one to submit reviews.
But I would be remiss if I didn’t review my recently experience at the Filippis Pizza Grotto in Kearny Mesa.
I picked up my order on Sunday in the late afternoon and after getting home I realized my order was not as expected.
I emailed the customer service on Monday morning and expressed my concerns.
Danielle called me a couple of hours later to apologize for my experience and offer a solution...

Pretty good thick and heavy pizza. Ingrediants were fresh and pizza came out hot. I will say the toppings were not cooked thoroughly enough (mushrooms and olives still had a 'rawish' texture. The reheat value was not very good either for leftovers.
