Great value Italian food! This restaurant has multiple locations and serve classic Italian dishes. We didn't expect the generous portions. The entrees can easily feed 2 people and making it a dinner (vs a la carte) will add soup/salad and garlic bread. Taste wise it's simple. The extra star is for the portion size and value. read more

These folks make fantastic pizzas! I would recommend them to my extended family, and anyone else. Great job! read more

Came here last night and was disappointed on what I got. I asked for a Lasagna - I didn't think they just had lasagna with Marinara sauce only and they had a meat option (which was not mentioned by the waitress) so, of course I was surprised when they had brought me a meatless lasagna. It was the worst flavorless lasagna I have ever had. I feel like as a waitress (even though it may say on the menu) you still need to ask your customers which option they prefer. I did not read the menu and not sure who would order a meatless lasagna read more

The food is amazing and a great price for the family special. Service is great. Nice cozy restaurant

My family and I always go to the Filippi's in Little Italy in SD. The food at the Temecula location was just as good. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant itself was clean but needs a little updating. The Temecula location lacks the ambience that the San Diego location. Overall had a great experience. read more

I started going to this location because it's closer to my area. The restaurant is just average, nothing special. They charge extra for things that you would think comes with the order. There's no discounts. They have locations all over the place, owned both different family members. This location is on auto pilot. They're not gonna change anything, and they're not gonna improve anything. It's just collecting much money as possible. read more

This business originated in San Diego's Little Italy district. It has expanded and is primarily family owned. Nice thick crust, easy sauce, real mozzarella, homemade sausage, homemade meatballs. If you are looking for a trendy pizza place then I suggest you go there instead because these pizzas here will fill you up. The cooks each have their style of cooking. Sometimes the sauce might be too thin, the pizza a little toasty, etc. Instead of whining about it here, why don't you simply point it out to them and let them correct the problem? Family owned businesses that have lasted this long are rare. Give them a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is chill. Large groups come in all the time and it's lively. Like all restaurants they are short staffed. They do try their best so be mindful of your manners. read more

Best food consistently for years I have eaten here for 20 years and it is always great! read more

Great service, great menu, great food, great atmosphere. A good place to bring your family and friends.

Always a pleasure to eat at Filippi's !!!Great food!!!!! Pizza always the best. Employees are extra nice.

Not sure why the review average on this place is as low as it is. The pizza was so good! And the service was great.

I called in on a Thursday 7:45pm to ask if they deliver and they said they use door dash, but they close at 8pm so they were wrapping up. I advised their yelp said closing time is at 9pm. To which she responded they haven't stayed open until 9pm since before the pandemic. Ok, interesting fact. I then asked if they are able to update their time on yelp for those that are visiting the area that do not know their schedule. And she responded with, "we have someone that says they will and they don't." So, for those visiting: DO NOT CALL OR TRY TO ORDER AT 7:45pm on any day of the week, because THEY CLOSE AT 8pm not 9, like their yelp says. I can't comment on their food obviously, and I can't comment on their ambiance because I only wonder what their pizza tasted like. -Visiting Friend read more

We have been going there since we moved to Temecula in 1996, family owned business with great food!

Excellent pizza sausage was also very good service great! What can I say if you haven't been then this is a must eat ! read more

Unfortunately this location has lost touch with the standard of service and quality of food that the San Diego locations have stood by for decades . The sauce is absolutely not the same it's extremely salty and stepped on at least 3x over . Even the pizzas are bad and if you dare to ask for help with anything that has to do with your complaint about the food they give you an expired email address to voice your concerns. If in San Diego try the Kearny Mesa location right off the freeway Claremont Mesa blvd exit off 163 freeway. You'll see and taste immediately the difference Filippi's how it should be . Sauce is fresh and just a bit sweet and never over salted or stepped on . It's sad because this one restaurant in Temecula can make all the other Filippis look bad unless you know difference . Don't bother going through all the sick traffic on Jefferson to get to this location You'll be sorry . But if you do don't forget to take home the Cannoli for the dog . He might actually eat it . read more

Great food amazing pizza the best I've had in California coming from the Midwest. It's an enjoyable surprise. I recommend highly.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem after picking up wine in Temecula (and not wanting to pay outrageous prices for lunch). It was outstanding! From the quaint, reminiscent Italian decor, the friendly and knowledgeable service, to the great food and terrific value, we are sold next time we are in the area. NOTE: for those of you who like pepperoni pizza, get the DOUBLE pepperoni pie -- they put the slices both under and atop the fresh mozerella and you will be totally WOWED! The TORPEDO sandwich is also over the top. Well done Filippi's! read more

A favorite spot to enjoy the family friendly spot with great food and service. We enjoy the great food and have tried additional locations in San Diego. This location is easy to park and find. read more

We've been coming to Filippi's for over 21 years - we love it here! The food is always spot on and yummy. We love the fresh baked bread that accompanies your meal and the pasta is al dente every single time - thank you! We have enjoyed their sandwiches , meatballs and sausage, and there's nothing that we have ordered that we have not liked. The quality has always been maintained throughout our 21+ years patronage. We love their Family Feast Special too... such a good value pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, salad and their bread, available Sunday (again) through Thursday. For awhile they had stopped offering that special on Sunday and their loyal regulars like us were very disappointed. We are happy to say they have reinstated the availability of the Family Feast on Sunday again! Very pleased as for most of us Sunday is family day - so thank you for making The Feast available again on Sunday! Manga! Manga! read more

Filippi's never leaves you hungry. Does not matter what location, they are always consistent and provide great value combined with big portions. This order we had the super torpedo sandwich and the small antipasto salad. The super torpedo was huge. It was a loaf of Italian bread stuffed with Italian meats and cheese along with an entire produce section of the grocery store. It was fantastic. The small antipasto salad was large enough for 2 and was accompanied by a small loaf of bread. The sandwich was around $11 and the antipasto salad around $10. We have had their pizzas and they were always delicious as is their pasta. We love Filippi's and we trust that every visit will satisfy our needs. Easy 5 stars. read more

Very rude....Do not patronize would give zero stars if it was an option. Food has no flavor. My sister is in town visiting and wanted to have pizza for dinner. She called and ordered and we were going to pick up. When we arrived at the restaurant my husband wanted to eat there there is 3 people in our party, since it had only been about 10 minutes since we ordered and they said 30 minutes, we thought this should be okay. The restaurant was not busy less than half tables were being used, they acted like it was a inconvenience for them but they did accommodated....but they sat us in back where they have boxes all over half the tables and it was very unorganized. There was about 10 or so tables in the back but we were the only ones seated back there. In the front of the restaurant there is about 20 tables or so that were only half full too. After we were there for about 15 minutes and almost done eating the other worker/waitress there said they have a Reservation at 530pm for 14 people and they needed our table. We said we were almost done but though that was very rude to tell paying customers you need their table when there was many other tables available that they could accommodated this party with. So the lady walked away when we said we were almost done, not even 2 minutes later the lady worker approached again saying we needed to change tables. This is not acceptable behavior from a restaurant to treat anyone this way. I then told her how very rude that was to treat customers this way when all those other tables are there they could accommodate them. The food isn't very good ( very bland, no taste) but then they have this kind of attitude towards customers. NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY HAVE ANY BUSINESS FROM MY FAMILY and they shouldn't have your either. read more

The food sucked! Where do I start... the salad well the tomatoes were unripe and hard. I returned the for some other inedible tomatoes. The blue cheese dressing was flat like the rest of there food! The garlic bread was the only thing good. I had the lasagna it was FLAT! The eggplant parmesan was mushy. When I complained about the food to the food the waitress argumentative. This just shows how low food standards are in this are. read more

What has happened to this place??? It has gone from being the place for pizza and pasta to the place to avoid. We ordered two large pizzas, thin crust and both of them came out uncooked!! We ordered them before rush hour. The crust was pale with a raw flavor. We paid for two expensive pizzas and really we should put them in the trash! One star is too much for what we got! read more

We were seated right away even though there was a lot of people in the restaurant. The server was very nice and helpful. I had the lasagna and ravioli combo and my family had pizzas, eggplant Parmesan and a chicken Parmesan sandwich. My lasagna and ravioli was so good! Tasty and the perfect amount of sauce and cheese and meat. The pizzas were topped thickly with gooey cheese and a satisfying portion of toppings. I tried a little of the eggplant parm and it had a well seasoned crunchy crust. My son finished his chicken parm sandwich so fast I didn't have a chance to try lol (he said it was so good) Very good all around. read more

Got there a little about 40 min before close. We're staying at the Murrieta Hot Springs. Honestly, didn't realize what time it closed. Food was great. Ordered the works pizza, the beef lasagna, red linguine, and torpedo sandwich, some wine and beer. The waitress was very rude older lady. It's like she couldn't help herself, she also asked us to pay while we were eating. Very short and impatient. San Diego location is better overall. read more

Cheese on top of all toppings is not my thing, but my husband loves Filippi's pizza, so I eat it. The crust is thick and heart, with a good crunch. The red sauce they use is really good. We ordered to go and it was ready in about 30 minutes. We ordered the large with plenty of leftovers. read more

Large quantity. Served with minimum wait time. No waiting to be seated. Pleasant, homie atmosphere. Excellent tasting food.

I don't want to give a really low rating, because I have gone here many times and we love the food. Almost entirely good/great experiences. However, I called ahead to let them know we'd have a party of six coming in; I was assured that we'd be seated right away, as they didn't take reservations. We arrived at 7:55pm and were told that they were going to close in 15-20 minutes because it was so slow,even though they were open until 9. I hesitated, and stated that I didn't want to be rushed, but I was not assured that that would not be the case. We went somewhere else. Very disappointing & unprofessional. read more

Woww this place is a good find. We've driven by this restaurant multiple times but never really tried it. Aand when we finally did, it did not disappoint! As we came in, we were greeted by a few very friendly ladies. It didn't take too long for us to get seated. The smell inside is amazing and will definitely increase your appetite. SHAY gave spectacular service. I came in and sat by myself for a couple of minutes and she thought I was eating by myself. She was very kind and fun to talk to. She's such a hardworker, and was prioritized the customers first. It was our first time at this restaurant so we opted with the Italian Fest for two so we can try different dishes. The price was shocking for how much it came with. It also wasn't "you get what you paid for" quality. It came with two salad, bread, a pizza and two spaghetti/lasagna of your choice. This filled us up quickk and we had to take most of them for takeout. The bread was so soft and fragrant. The pizza was really cheesy so I guess how good it is is gonna be based on personal preference. The spaghetti/lasagna could have more flavor but that's really the only downside in this whole experience. I wouldn't say its the best. Its not stone oven baked pizza or the best lasagna/spaghetti but its a good local italian spot. And the whole ambiance is great. Def would still recommend read more

Have eaten here for years. We like the one in Little Italy, San Diego & Escondido. It's true servings are large. But the pizza is TOO heavy on the cheese and the crust has become so thick and doughy it's ridiculous. Your toppings are buried so why have any? Just order a cheese pizza. It doesn't really even melt. Good pizza to fill up your kids but that's it. One time we ordered "easy on the cheese" !! Service varies but it's usually ok. read more

Went to this place for the first time in this area,I've have tried Filippi's in San Diego. Went there when it was open at 11 AM. The place was dirty and dated. I ordered the single meatball and the deluxe pizza and my wife ordered the pasta with marinara sauce and sausage. The meatball and pasta dish came and were very bland. We didn't even finish the pasta and marinara sauce took one bite and told him to take it away. The pizza took over an hour to get to our table. The waitress kept telling us there was a problem with the pizza. There was guests coming in, sitting down, ordering eating and leaving, and we were still waiting for our pizza when we did get the pizza, we were hungry pulled one slice out and everything fell off. It just slid off and we had enough asked for the bill. The waitress did take off the pasta dish off the bill. I will never go back to this place again. read more

This place never disappoints place itself is a simple traditional look place is super clean and waitress was super nice and pizza came out quick. Pizza itself you just have to go and try it for yourself. A review is just not enough, there quality is what amazes me the most it just never fails. I've been to many Filippi's in San Diego and their quality is consistently good. I saw a lot of people ordering half spaghetti and half lasagna and although I have not tried it it looked AMAZING. Next visit is to try that specific plate. Great good and please keep it up. read more

I've been coming to this place for years with my family. I've always gotten the pizza, pasta and salad and fresh bread and it's always been top-notch. But just recently I was told to try the sandwiches by a friend. I have never had a better capicola torpedo in my life. I am going to get so fat now that I know that they have these here. read more

Great food at great prices. Friendly staff and great service. Definitely recommend this location and the San Diego location
