Craving pizza, but don't want to go with the traditional fast food pizza chains ? This small pizza joint is in Santee next to the famous Mary's donuts. Called in my order and was greeted with a friendly female cashier. Very patiently made suggestions on what would feed a family of 7. When we got there to pick up the pizza it was ready in 20 minutes. The place was clean, but they were mopping and floor was a bit slippery. The pizza was teenager approved, but the adults felt like it needed more sauce and/or cheese. We will definitely give it another try if we are in the area. Gracias! read more

Just wanted to say that the cheese manocati is the best in town. If you have never had it try it and you will be hooked like my wife and I were. I have been eating at this restaurant for over 20 years and when he added this meal it just added another real good meal to the line up. read more

Good flavor alongside good customer service. With many other pizza places in town, this is our go to place! Their BQQ Chicken pizza never disappoints. read more

Excellent Philly cheesecake sandwich! The bread was so soft good and fresh. Got an extra salad given on accident that was bomb. Service was good. The giant size pizza size is no joke. Clean eating area. read more

Can't describe how good the food is here. Just had the lasagne yesterday and it was delicious. Usually get pizza and always such outstanding flavors that sets them apart from the usual pizzas tastes elsewhere. Will be ordering my favorite pizza from here for New Years Eve...Pepperoni and Sausage. Can't wait!! Of all the pizza places I've gone to in Santee and elsewhere this is the best tasting pizza I've ever had. read more

I've stopped in here many times over the years when a last minute pizza or my favorite Greek salad was in order. I'm always greeted by owner Ray who is a personable owner who cares about you and your order. They make there own Greek dressing and in my opinion it's delicious. This little pizzeria has been serving the area for many years and is deserving of your business for putting out a consistently good product. Pizza sauce, cheese and crust are always consistently good. And, If something is not right, Ray or his wife will make it right. My cheese pizza and salad were just what I wanted tonight! I wish them continued success! read more

Giant New York Pizza - Really good cheese pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Santee, California

Great food, fresh ingredients, reasonable prices. Pizza has lovely hand-tossed crust. The friendly staff will make it to order; I like mine on the thinner side. The lunch-size (small) salad with gyros or chicken is a satisfying dinner when I'm not in the mood for pizza. When I'm hungrier, the gyros sandwich is overflowing with tasty meat and essentially a salad in a sandwich (fresh tomatoes, onions & lettuce) with feta & tzatziki. Every single meal I've had has been perfect & we've been customers for 20 years. A beloved family-owned neighborhood place. read more

I have tried the New York-style pizza from a few pizza places in Santee and El Cajon. The New York Giant Pizza on Carlton Hills is my go-to place, I have never been disappointed and the staff is always friendly. The only other shop with as good a pizza is Bronx Pizza on Washington St. in Hillcrest, but that's too far to drive for an equally good pizza. - Len read more

Do NOT recommend. Pizza was made incorrectly and had to be remade upon my arrival- was asked to wait "5 minutes." Individual in charge told me to blame the kid that made my pizza. Torpedo was soggy by the time I got home, considering extra 10 minutes at store- was made with what looked like one slice of meat per type. Will never return. read more

Giant New York Pizza - Torpedo - Pizza Near Me - Santee, California

I ordered pizza A drink And a sandwich It may have been good... I was told it would arrive approx 40 minutes to 50 minutes. An hour later I contacted SLICE, the delivery service that deals with this business & was told by Matt I'd get it anytime because the driver picked it up & was on the way. Another half hour went by & I was told by Tara that the order was delivered & I should look around to find it--well it wasn't on either porch which has a camera with motion sensors on each. The cameras alert me when someone is there at the door. I gave directions which were very easy but the driver either can't read or follow directions. I was given another message that there was miscommunication. How's that? I NEVER received the order! The pizza business is responsible for the party they have do the deliveries. I never ordered from them before & plan NOT to order from them in the future... read more

One topping pizzas include cheese only.... That's the one topping. That's not typical at ANY other pizza place.

So stopped in here, because I saw the add for wraps in the window and I was famished. Wow what a treat. Best Greek chicken wrap ever with homemade tzatziki sauce. Made fresh to order. Sauce thinner but throughout the whole sandwich. Yum! Talked to the owner for awhile. Pretty passionate about their homemade sauces and who has the best cheese to source from. I think the last time I was in here was to order a pizza for my son's party 15 years ago. It was good then, but I think family ownership has leveled up. Excited about visiting this gem again and getting to go orders to feed the whole family. Greek and pizza something for everyone. read more

Typically, we are happy with the food and service. However, tonight, we had the opportunity to see our delivery driver come up the street. He was certainly not driving an appropriate speed for a residential neighborhood. Being that at any time kids and people enjoying the outdoors could be in the street. I have to lower my 4 stars to 2 for the unsafe action of the delivery driver who was ahead of the estimated time, so there really was no reason. Other than that, the pizza we ordered hot, and the salad was crisp. read more

Let me start by saying DELICIOUS ! This is the 2nd time I place an order for take out, it's amazing this time I got some jalapeño poppers, they are crispy and the cream cheese is amazing ! I'll tag some photos but ! This is def a better place and the crust is bomb as well, it's very fresh and it's so different to other places . 100/100 we left nothing after eating this feast hahaha, I have tried their pepperoni pizza too it was great and crispy read more

Have to admit this was one awesome everything pizza. also got a 16 inch pepperoni which was pretty damn good too.

Pizza was over cooked. The crust was dry and bubbly and chewy. I ordered Pepsi and received coke. I hate coke. Absolutely not worth the money. read more

I usually order a medium pepperoni pizza for take out. This restaurant is conveniently located in central Santee making it easy for me to pick up a quick and easy family dinner. A 14" pepperoni pizza is $10! That's my kind of pricing. You can also get a 29" pizza for $25.99. They have plenty of drinks and sides available as well. Pro's: Centrally located in Santee Plenty of parking Great prices Hot fresh pizza made to order Clean restaurant Good customer service Con's: Can't think of any read more

Absolutely the best pizza around. Real New York pizza. Their sandwiches are also the best. You can't lose here. Ray is always friendly with a smile & a kind word. Being from the East Coast, took me forever to find a place with decent pizza. Great food. read more

The pizza is good, but not once have I had the order ready on time. You should add 15 - 20 minutes to whatever time they tell you. It doesn't matter if you order on the phone or online; still gonna be late. read more

I was walking by here and I saw and advertisement for a large slice of pizza, a small salad, and a drink for $4.99, and I figured why not. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/giant-new-york-pizza-santee?select=VsJ3Vl4RFTXR4a2ffTd08Q#VsJ3Vl4RFTXR4a2ffTd08Q) The cheese pizza size was large, and I added some dried oregano and Parmesan to liven it up. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/giant-new-york-pizza-santee?select=VsJ3Vl4RFTXR4a2ffTd08Q#TS2KW3SrXsb5i2zoEveuIg) The pizza had good flavor was light on the sauce which I appreciated very much. The texture of the thin crust was good, but not as refined as a Neapolitan style crust, but still a good New York thin. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/giant-new-york-pizza-santee?select=VsJ3Vl4RFTXR4a2ffTd08Q#hoBxZbtbatJlxXWsw2p2sA) I did feel that the slice needed about one more minute in the oven. I like when the cheese comes bubbling out of the oven. This was just warm. The salad was descent. I did enjoy the serving of crumbled feta they applied on top. It was not freshly made on the spot, but pre-made and stored in the refrigerator until ordered. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/giant-new-york-pizza-santee?select=VsJ3Vl4RFTXR4a2ffTd08Q#mxS5KtG77jNJbTIFEXEOsg) The creamy Italian dressing was good and had a nice zing to it. Service was friendly and sincere... read more

Good quality and a tasty pizza. A few problems with the workers not paying attention to the order. All of the following happened within the pst 6 months or so. I ordered two pizzas and when I got there only one was ready. I waited for the second, which defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. On two later visits, they put toppings on only one side of the pizza. This wasn't requested. This was through door dash and I was refunded a few bucks, but I'd rather just have what I originally ordered. read more

I had the worst experience ever I was not going to post this review but I feel our santee residence have to be aware of this situation. I placed a order yesterday September 9th 2022 at 2pm for my sons 23rd birthday I called in hours before to have it delivered at prior 6pm for his party keep in mind my order was over $100 dollars they had ample time to get everything ready. 6pm came and gone I finally called at 6:20pm asking where my order was they put me on hold for a long time got back on the phone and said it will be here in 15 mins. I was upset but understanding finally 6:50pm rolls around and I called back food still not here same girl answered she was rude like the last time, I said I called and arranged this earlier in the day I have hungry kids here what's going on I'm told the it's with the drive he is 6 mins out she claimed due to flooding in santee it was delayed UM there was no flooding in santee it was not even raining I was so shocked at this point very worried I said are you telling me the chicken wings and pizza are going to be cold she said oh no not a all keep in mind no discount and not a care in the world anyways the food showed up at 7:40pm cold pizza and chicken and not even a discount never again will I order from this place the guy who dropped it off was rude and not a care in the world no apologies either. Think twice before ordering here they are rude late and serve cold food. Shame on this place the managers need to be aware since they did not seem to care whatsoever worst place ever! read more

Very good but a bit expensive. Big menu and tons of options. The owner is very friendly.

If you are looking for a pizza with a crust that's not too thin and not too thick, this is the place for you. The pizza is always fresh and hot right out of the oven. I have been to countless pizza places and this one tops it by far. I highly recommend getting their salad dressing to dip the pizza in. I know it sounds a little absurd but you have to trust me on that one. Not to mention, there are so many drinks to choose from to take home with some delicious pizza. Me and my dad have been returning customers at this pizza place for years now. The workers are nothing but kind and patient and know our order. The only reason why I don't give it 5/5 stars is because they charge for any and all extras and the pizza tends to be on the greasy side. Stop by and give it a try, you wont regret it, and will soon become a regular just like me and my dad. read more

Not a chain, this is a family-owned business next to GTM, very good pizza, very good prices, wife says that the gyro sandwich is better than Greek chicken read more

Giant New York Pizza - pepperoni new york pizza santee - Pizza Near Me - Santee, California

I was trying to setup our of my normal rotation of pizza joints to try a local place. I was so disappointed with my pizza. I order a large pizza, half veggie/no cheese and half cheese & and order of breadsticks. Visually the pizza looked delicious, but upon eating it it was so bland. The crust alone had no flavor and was hard, the sauce tasted like crushed tomatoes from the can. It seemed like no seasonings were used, not even salt. The only enjoyable part were the breadsticks. If the crust of the pizza tasted like the breadsticks it would have been much more enjoyable. My family and I only ate 2 slices before going back to our usual pizza joint. I can pass on this place in the future. read more

14 inch pizza with xtra cheese, pep and 1/2 sausage. Was charged 3$ for extra pizza sauce on our pie. Garden salad with feta cheese is not a greek salad. After all my high praise and years of being a consistent consumer, I've had several negative experiences usually the food. Highly disappointed. Will seek something new even after 13 plus years of being a client. read more

Hands down best salad dressing in San Diego, I come here every month or so to pick up their greek salad and extra dressing. I also like their pizza by the slice, eating in store means it will be nice and crispy. Zucchini sticks are also a personal favorite. Owner is super nice and all the staff are friendly. read more

I have serious dairy issues and this is of the few places I can have pizza and not feel miserable afterwards!! Fresh ingredients and not that cheep dough or cheese. You can tell that the pizza here is made with care. Sausage pepperoni and jalapeño is our family go to! Just be mindful they use the hot jalapeños which we love! read more

They even have popcorn shrimp! Who knew? Great place, easy parking. Owner is very nice. The food was made quickly. Try the margherita pizza!

If you want to make your own pizza, don't pay extra for toppings. They barely put any pepperoni on my pizza and charged 2.50$. Got maybe 8 slices of pepperoni and that's being generous. First time trying so might be just an accident but will be choosing other pizza locations in the future. Pizza was good though. read more

By far the best pasta I've ordered at any pizza place. Their pizza is delicious as well! Overall highly recommend

This restaurant messed up my order. They charged me 20 dollars too much and sent me a large pizzafor 39.99 when i called to dispute. The charge he first lied and said i had the wromg business but i paid withmy mastercard. Then he muttered to me incomprehensible then hung up on me. It was mysons birthday. Iwillnever order food from here again. The owner is rude the food substandard and they dont mind cheating their customers.​ read more

Loved this place, salad is Amazing and the pizza is solid. Sadly, my family is looking for a new primary pizza spot. We were number by our attempted phone order. They wouldnt honor their coupons on the website. Tried to use one and they said we don't honor that deal anymore. Asked to use another on the site, said they don't honor that either. It's only a few bucks off, and I don't have to have a coupon, but I'm not a fan of false advertising and will be passing on them from now on. Hopefully they take them down, it's frustrating they punish things they refuse to offer. read more

My go to pizza spot, excellent customer service and great food! They've been around in santee since I was a kid.

Ordered spaghetti and meatballs and their fish and shrimp combo. Fish and shrimp was WAY overcooked and smelled bad. Every shrimp still had its waste vein. Fish was inedible. Fries were so soggy my son wouldn't even eat one. The spaghetti was mush and the meatballs were cold. Sauce was really tasty on the rock hard cold garlic bread. No condiments or utensils even though all were requested. Called store and spoke with staff. The gentleman responded with "we got busy" did not apologize or offer a fix. He did say that the fish is always like that and why would we clean the shrimp. He continued with just microwave the spaghetti it's not always hot. Too many choices in Santee to EVER patronize this place. read more

OK maybe not the place to go for "New York" pizza if your from New York, but they have decent super sized giant pizzas for a good price. I have only tried their pizza and Greek salad, both left me satisfied! They have some reasonable combos from like $3, or you can get a pizza big enough to feed 20 people. They also have gyros, shrimp, wings, fries, and some other stuff I may try one day and a couple cheap draft beers on tap. They do have a few small tables, but it's not the kind of place to "go out to eat" more of a take out or delivery meal. The place is pretty much a dive The Dive bar next door "Ye Village Inn" let you bring food into the bar, and the pizza tastes awesome after a couple drinks! read more

Friendly service. Was not busy on a Friday night which surprised me. We accidentally went to this location after calling the wrong place at first. Food was good not great but good. I am def interested in trying their party size pizza for $25. Has about 32 slices in it and look like 2 could feed an entire party. Most likely won't order regular pizza again since like I said it wasn't anything exciting. Just regular pizza. read more
