I love a good family owned business like this one. I learned that the place is mostly operated by a lady and her mother in law. I came in for a meatball sandwich. The meatballs and sauce are made in house, which is always a big plus in a meatball hero. The meatball hero was only $10.99 plus tax, well priced indeed. The meatball sandwich came nicely toasted from the oven, so the bread had that light exterior crisp and soft warm center. The meatballs had a very good texture and a good flavor. In hindsight, a little more seasoning would have been nice. The sauce was very good, not overly sweet or acidic. A good down the middle. I liked that they put a very good amount of provolone and parmesan cheese on the sandwich. It was one tasty meatball sandwich. The service was very friendly and welcoming. I liked when I inquired about the food, I was given a good run down of the place. There's plenty of parking. There's only one table inside and a few outside the building. You will find them in Alpine! read more

I went there a few weeks ago. The pizza was all right. Flavor was decent the dough pretty good taste. I should've asked for well done. But the reason for the two stars has to be the lack of cheese and the fact that it wasn't melted all the way. The pizza itself it's OK but it's definitely not worth the price. I would perhaps try it again to give it another try and probably ask it to get cooked a little bit longer. Maybe the cheese will melt and ask for extra cheese, maybe that'll make a difference. But am I dying to try it again no but I suggest people go ahead and try it for themselves. Maybe they'll like it. read more

Janos pizza is delicious! I drive to Alpine just for the pizza. Everything is amazing, including their salads, sandwiches, and calzones. Even their homemade house dressing is great on everything! The service and ambiance is awesome. The owners and family work there and are always super friendly. For those reviews talking about the quality obviously you are use to low quality pizza like Little Caesars, Pizza Hut, and gas station pizza. Janos pizza is high quality made to order pizza. The price is just right for amazing pizza. This is the only place I get pizza from. read more

What a find! Stopped in here after having a meeting in Alpine, uh...YUM! Got the turkey sandwich and it was so refreshing on a hot day! Had all the things I love on an Italian sub...Italian dressing, shredded lettuce, tomato, provolone, mustard, mayo, spices, onions. Wouldn't change a thing! The service is as great as the food. It's more of a grab and go with seating outside. I couldn't wait to get home, so sat in the parking lot and gobbled. Got dressing all over myself...and didn't care one bit! I'm sure I'll find some lettuce somewhere later. read more

LOVE THE PIZZA! My daughter and I go to laundromat next door on Monday nights and Janos Pizza is our GO TO spot. We always get the 14" slices of pizza and a drink. The pizza slices are GINORMOUS. They're so big, we end up taking 1/2 our pizza home. The service is SPOT ON. Overall, it's a family-owned business, but every time we go there, we end up talking like we're old friends, they're just that FRIENDLY! I'd give Janos 10 stars if they had that many to give. HONESTLY, this small pizza joint is the BOMB! The prices are reasonable as well. read more

Janos Pizza is hands down the best Pizza I have ever had!! The Gluten free crust was the best I have ever had and the chicken on the BBQ chicken was so tender and fresh! The salad dressing is home made and i wanted to bath in it. Sooo darn good. We also got the works and cheese pizza and seriously all of then were so good. 10/10 recommend! I will drive up to Alpine monthly for Janos! read more

Janos...where have you been my whole life? Why have I not eaten here before? This little store front restaurant is the epitome of looks can be deceiving. I did not expect the food to be so frigging delicious.. I mean one bite and I was like WOWZERS! The staff was super friendly. The food is at a great price point. There is a nice comfortable space to sit outside and eat although most people seemed to be ordering there food to go. Thank you Janos....[ in my best Arnold Schwarzenegger voice] I'll be back! read more

Am I allowed to give it 10 stars? I am a self-proclaimed pizza snob. With a mother from NYC and growing up in the Detroit area, I was spoiled with great, quality pizza. So, it's a big deal when a pizza shop surprises me as much as Jano's did. I ordered the "small" veggie pizza and added sausage. It was huge for a small size pie. Also, there was no skimping on the ingredients - packed with goodness. The first bite was a revelation! The dough is almost like Detroit-style, which is based on foccacia bread - deliciously rich and fluffy with a thin, tender crust on the bottom. Simply amazing! I can't wait until my next visit! read more

We love Janos. Our favorite crust is the Sicilian crust. They have a wonderful Alfredo sauce for making delicious white sauce pizza. The 4 meat is my husbands favorite on the Sicilian crust. The service is wonderful. The ladies of Janos are all so amazing and kind. Such a wonderful vibe! If your haven't been it's definitely worth the try. You'll love it. Thanks Janos for feeding us well! read more

Get the bbq chicken pizza !! Came when I was in the area and wanted to try this spot with my wife and 2 kids. We ordered 2 pizzas, calzone, and roast beef sandwich and my wife got a salad. We anticipated to take some left overs home. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather in alpine. My wife got salad, and she was stunned how good the dressing was. She asked the owner what kind of dressing they have on the side and the owner pointed to the bottle of their own home made dressing. My wife ended up buying a bottle of the Janos homemade dressing because she said it was amazing! Then our pizzas came, we got the Mediterranean and the bbq chicken. My favorite was the bbq chicken. They don't use chicken nuggets on their pizza like other places they use real chicken ! I used the Janos dressing on the pizza and it tasted so good! We got the calzone with extra cheese and we all had one piece and we loved it! I was surprised how amazing their roast beef sandwich was! We split into 4 so we each got a good portion because it was a huge size. And yes I used the dressing on thier too . Went home with some amazing leftovers and the pizzas were still yummy ! Can't wait to come back ! read more

The meatball sub and fettuccine Alfredo was very basic and the pasta was very bland unfortunately, like where's all the spices at. Maybe the pizza is better but I doubt I'll be back unfortunately. read more

Tasty pizza. Janos is really just a takeout place. There's one two top inside that's used as a waiting area. Three outside tables are on the sidewalk in front of the business. No restroom but it's possible to use one at the next door laundromat. 0.4 miles from the Tesla supercharger. Easy stroll with sidewalks. read more

food is amazing! Service is also very important and they nailed it. Can't wait to go back as we always do!

I was so disappointed tonight. We have been coming here for a while now, but sadly, I encountered a rude employee today. She had such an attitude and I have no idea why. When I went in to pick up my pizza, I was getting cash out of my wallet, and she leaned on her elbows with her head in her hand as if she was exasperated by having to wait for me to pull out cash. So sad that we don't even have the patience to wait for a customer to count cash. After I paid for my pizza, she placed the money in my hand without saying a word. When I looked back, I saw her lean over to an employee and whisper something in her ear. It was awful to have this happen at a small business, which we normally love to support. Updated review: The owner reached out to me, which I appreciate. read more

The best Pizza and Lasagna in East San Diego, in fact, Alpine. We have eaten at many restaurants and we really loved "Mama Rosa", In El Cajon. However one Sunday when we were totally craving some Lasagna but most of the Italian restaurant were all closed. A friend saw the agonizing looks on our face and asked if we ever eaten at Janos Pizza, right up there on Alpine Blvd? Said pretty good! So off we went, boyfriend a little apprehensive about the whole thing. But let me just say that our first bite of the fabulous Lasagna we both looked at each other because we were relieved because we we're finally eating, but the THEE best we have ever tasted. The Ladi read more

We're so glad to have this family run business in our community. My kids love their red sauce and they do a solid job with their pizzas. They are my, I'm not cooking tonight go to. Being an east coast, New Haven style pizza lover is how I look at things. Thin crust, blodget oven, easy on sauce.... I would love to see them go with a higher gluten, thinner crust but that's about the only thing I can say. Wonderful kind family and food made with love! read more

We love Janos Pizza! Our go to pizza place. Delicious, quick and always friendly service. Their giant pizza is perfect for birthday parties.

I would say for a local pizza joint it is decent. The prices are a little bit high for the quality. It's not bad but it's definitely not authentic Italian food. I ordered delivery it came in time and everything was pretty good. But for $50, I could have went to a real restaurant. read more

I want to make a huge shot out to Janos. We have been coming here sense they opened. Their pizza is always hot and delicious. I have had stomach issues for some time now and almost never can eat pizza. Janos pizza has never once upset my stomach. The girls at this location are always very nice and always want their customers to be happy. Such a loving and professional range pizza place. 10 out of 10 for sure. read more
