Filippi's Pizza Grotto Kearny Mesa

Excellent location, ample parking, attentive service, and fantastic food. If you're heading there for lunch, try to arrive right when they open, as the rush can be intense and the wait for your food may seem to drag on. If you do find yourself waiting, it's best to be with people you enjoy spending time with.

The service was excellent and the portions were generous. We were a large group, and they managed to get our order right and served it promptly. I tried their pizza, which was delicious; my only complaint is that the crust was a bit overcooked.

Played it safe and got a large cheese pizza for carry out. Matt was awesome! He offered suggestions, welcomed me when I told him it was my first time there, and had a smile the whole time! This is what customer service is missing! I used to work fast foodso I know how it is. But Matt was a very good first impression of how a good restaurant should treat their guests. I’ll beback.

Decided to stop by after a day at SeaWorld with the kids. Ordered a pepperoni pizza to share with them not really expecting anything special and it was the best pizza I've had for a while. Service was great too.

I visited the restaurant for the first time on Mother's Day and chose to arrive right when they opened, hoping to avoid the crowds. When we got there, the place was surprisingly quiet, and I thought we would receive our food quickly. We were seated right away, and we ordered garlic bread, which our friendly waitress brought out within five minutes. Unfortunately, we had to wait about 30 to 40 minutes for our main meals to arrive. Although the restaurant wasn’t too busy at that time, there was only one server for each section, and they were doing their best. The food was excellent, but it was clear that they needed more staff to handle the rush on such a busy day.
