50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Santee

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

“Pizza Perfection!

If you’re looking for incredible pizza, FOX’S GIANT PIZZA is the spot! From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic meal. The staff was super friendly, and the aroma of fresh pizza from the oven instantly had my mouth watering. Steven was so friendly and sweet!

We tried the Meat Lover, Veggie Supreme, and Margherita pizzas—and wow, every bite was pure bliss.

The Meat Lover was packed with perfectly cooked, flavorful toppings—pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon—layered over a rich, tangy sauce and gooey cheese. Each bite was hearty and satisfying.

The Veggie Supreme was a garden-fresh masterpiece! It had vibrant peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, and the perfect hint of seasoning, all resting on a crispy-yet-fluffy crust. Even non-veggie lovers would enjoy this one!

And the Margherita? A classic done right. The simplicity of fresh basil, creamy mozzarella, and their signature tomato sauce made it stand out. It was light, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

This is hands-down one of the best pizza places I’ve ever been to. Whether you’re a meat lover, veggie enthusiast, or crave a classic Margherita, they’ve got something amazing for you. I can’t wait to come back!“

“They've definitely forgotten to add the most critical toppings to my pizza before, but for the most part pizza is always great and on time. Never do delivery, but tracker is accurate and rarely have a line.

Wish this location added way more garlic seasoning, I feel it's bland and not salty and delicious as it used to be, but I'll still eat it!“

“I have been coming here since they opened and they are the best !!!! Everything I have ordered has been beyond delicious and the owner Zak is the best !!! It’s a must try !!!!!“

“I happened upon this place today and fed our crew of workers lunch there. The pizza was fantastic. I wish they were located closer to our area. The people of Santee are lucky to have such a great tasting pizza place to go to. I will go out of my way to come back. The Man, running the counter is very gracious.“

“They always have my order from the app ready by the time I drive there. Usually 10 mins or less. Whether I order 1 or 4. They are always Hot, Fresh, and Delicious. They also don’t forget my Dipping Sauces! I gotta have my Garlic Butter Dip! The Pretzel Crus Pizza is only $6.99 through the APP! Save $3.00 off $18. Crazy deals.“

“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.“

“Best pizza in the valley!“

“Food was amazing! We came in a bit late before closing and Zaw Zaw the owner kindly took us in to take our orders. You can tell he’s passionate about his restaurant as he wanted to find the perfect pizza recommendations for our table :). We tried the New Yorker, pepperoni mascarpone, potato, and the eggplant pizza! The pizza was fresh and the crust was perfect! He even came out to check on our table and converse with us. He even let us try the dessert pizza! I highly recommend you try this place out if your in the area.“

“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“

“great service from Jeff! Food hit the spot, too.“

“It’s so chill & The food is amazing !“

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

“This pizza is excellent! I did not know what to expect and I was not familiar with most of their gourmet pizzas, so I was very pleasantly surprised at just how great all three of their pizzas were! I ordered two biggest sizes and one medium and there was not even a crust left. The BBQ chicken pizza was the group's first favorite, but I personally loved the fresh simplicity of the margarita pizza.“

“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“

“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“

“It’s so chill & The food is amazing !“

“Fool was locked out got me what I wanted“

“THIS BY FAR IS THE BEST PIZZA EVER, I have been coming here for years and everytime i get something new i fall in love with it even more. The people there are so kind and amazing and it is family owned so you know everything is made with love and care. Thank you for being the best bambinos“

“Wonderful pizza at reasonable price. The sauce was excellent! It did not overwhelm the pizza. The crust was excellent! Everything was perfect ! Most of all we appreciated the great customer service friendly, considerate and sincere! We’re from Nevada and wish there was a location here. Will definitely go back when we are in town again.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I went with my aunt and grandma. My grandma ordered the veil eggplant it was very good. My aunt and I ordered the chicken Valentino and she loved it. I wasn’t so impressed. Her Alfredo sauce wasn’t thick enough or cheesy enough for my taste. The portions are very large and the service was good.“

“Food is good and the service is great.“

“Went to this place, wanted to order from a local restaurant. Did not disappoint. Food was really good. Ordered the managers special with pizza, wings, salad and a 2L. Food quality was great. I placed my order online which made it quicker for me. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Ordered a regular pepperoni because (kids) but will definitely try their other pizzas too next time I order.“

“It's so nice to be able to order for delivery without having to use Door Dash or Uber Eats or some other delivery service. I'm a truck driver, so I don't have an address to deliver to. But my pizza was delivered right to the truck. This pizza is fantastic. The crust has the perfect crisp. Plenty of cheese, and they put the perfect amount of each topping that they don't overpower each other. The price is very reasonable. I'll order here anytime I'm in the area.“

“From a New Yorker - this is the closest I’ve gotten to NY slice since moving out here 10 years ago. On top of it, the service is always so kind, the atmosphere is the perfect pizzeria vibe, and pricing is more than fair. If you haven’t tried this place yet I highly recommend - won’t disappoint and you get to support local!!“

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

“Pretty legit! Excellent deep dish for those of us missing home. Owner/manager told me he's trying to get Old Style. I'm rooting for that magic. I mean, Hey Hey, if the Cubs can win a World Series, ANYTHING is possible.“

“This place is awesome. However, the floor was a bit dirty and the eating area outside was small and the wood floorboards were a bit cracked. It is also an off-campus place Other than that, great food. You should order from there rather than eat there.“

“Just stopped in for a slice - really delicious!“

“Pazzos is the best Italian in Scripps Ranch. Since 93 they have been serving up good pies and cold brews. The Eggplant Parma is all time. Insider tip....get the 12 inch.“

“I had not ordered from ths Roundtable for quite a while because I was unhappy with the quality and the delays in delivery. Today, however, my son requested Roundtable so I placed an order. When the pizza arrived--it was on time, by the way-- it was hot, fresh, and DELICIOUS! Toppings were fresh and abundant. Don't know what caused problems in the past, but they have now been corrected, and I am happy to recommend the Rancho Peñasquitos Round Table pizza on Black Mountain Road.“

“Had the Margherita pizza today and it was delish! Coworker really enjoyed the Philly Cheese steak sandwich. The crust on my pizza was thin and cooked perfectly. Every bite was amazing! Everything was so good! Highly recommend!!“

“By far the best pizza around and the staff rock!!!“

“good pizza, sandwiches 🥪 at won't hurt ur pockets. nom noms“

“forgot to take pictures of my food! I’ve visited this place a few times. Their pizza is great. I got a chicken pesto pasta dish this time. It tasted and smelled good. The full size portion was enough to share.

The owner is very friendly and he’s supportive of local school fundraisers. I would definitely come back to visit soon.“

“Food was great. Brought one of my friends here so they feel at home. My Chicago friend approved it.“

“food and service excellent ciao bellow“

“After reading multiple reviews for pizza in the area, we decided to try Bambino’s. I called on a Saturday evening about 5:45 for a medium Hawaiian. The grilled that answered the phone was brusque and businesslike, and took my order quickly and accurately. Not a lot of pleasantries, but she didn’t appear rude.

The neighborhood of the store was a little off putting. Bars on the home windows, and a junkie or two on the parking lot at the convenience store next door.

Inside of the shop appeared clean and smelled like good food. Cashier was again brusque, but that is okay because my pizza was handed out quickly and I was on my way.

Pizza was very, very good! Toppings were plentiful, crust was just the right amount of chew and crisp, and pizza was nice and hot! We very much enjoyed the entire pizza. The hope pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese packets were a welcome touch!“
