Stopped here on our way up to Julian. It's pretty much the last stop for food before the drive!This place smelled amazing, it's a take out restaurant but the inside is still cute if ypu decide to eat there, there is also outdoor seating.We got sandwiches this time. They are great prices for the amount you get. I got the Torpedo, I believe it was called. It was delicious! Wasn't too dry or too soggy, just right and tasted so good.The girl working the counter was very friendly, we told her we had our dogs waiting for us outside so we couldn't be long, and she made doggy treats for each of them! So cute!!We will be back again when we are on this side of town!

While on vacation and staying at Pechanga RV Resort, we ended up getting take-out twice from Papa's Pizza Grotto. This place is family owned and really cute inside.The pizza was REALLY flavorful and hand tossed. The pastas, marinara and meat sauces were delicious as well.I would recommend calling in orders directly, or walking in for your order and dining in. While I enjoy using the Slice app back home, this family owned business is just as easily ordered from directly and deserves to keep 100% of their sales.

Food was so good we didn’t get a chance to take a picture!We were pleasantly surprised to have a waitress serving us tonight. As always the food was amazing and the service was great too. The cleanliness is also great!! We had the antipasto salad ? meatball pizza, meatball sandwich ? side meatball and cannoli. I think you get the picture, they have the best meatballs!!
This is some of the best food in Temecula. They make a vegetarian lasagna, which is difficult to find, that is delicious!I used to own a pizza restaurant and the pizza here is some of the best I've tasted. The cheese is delicious and the dough is perfectly prepared and cooked. I highly recommend Papa's Pizza!

I eat a lot of pizza. I can say unequivocally that this is one of the best pies I've ever had. My wife and I were looking to grab some lunch as we killed a couple hours before check in and stumbled upon Papas Pizza Grotto. I have no connection to this place but the girl working the counter was so nice and gave great service. We were there early in the day so the ambiance was essentially an old Italian pizza place. I kid you not. Best pizza ever.

Ordered a Pizza a little while back and was so disappointed in the Dough!! Each slice was like eating a loaf of focaccio bread! The dough was super chewy and greasy! Pizza dough should be the star of the Pie, ? it should be thin, soft and baked to perfection. The ricotta cheese was more like low quality cottage cheese.

Great little pizza place. Has a nice, cozy, family pizza place feel. We had the cheese pizza, which was very cheesy (just be forewarned). I would go again.

Papa's Pizza Grotto keeping on the great Filippi's family tradition. Great traditional Italian ingredients. Service is always great. My boys 10 and 6 yrs. old love coming heeled after baseball games across the street. Don't sleep on the cannoli's.
