This place is smaller but super cute inside really clean and was playing jazz when I walked in it was great to hear something that wasn't on the radio. Person that helped us was super friendly and pleasant! We ordered 2 slices of pizza and they were yummy! We also ordered truffle fries to go with it. This small shopping center in La Mesa definitely gets forgotten about! I'm going to come back and try their made to order 10" monster cookie!

Just down loaded this app called toogoodtogo... and if you don't know, download it. this place was one of the deals. Definitely a hidden la Mesa gem! We will be back. They sell off slices at a discount through the app. We got 3 slices. All of them were so good!! Staff was super friendly!! Just an over all cute place! Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood!!

This review is only for my Too Good To Go experience. If you're using Too Good To Go to save money and reduce food waste, skip this place. The experience started off badly. I walked in, and neither employee acknowledged me. A man and a woman were standing there talking to each other while I awkwardly waited. I eventually had to say "hi" first before either of them greeted me. It felt unwelcoming and unprofessional. The real disappointment came when I got home and opened the box. It contained only three slices of plain pepperoni pizza. No variety, no surprise, nothing. I specifically chose this place because it has high ratings on Too Good To Go for value and variety, but it delivered neither. For what I paid, this was a complete waste of money, time, and energy. I could have gone to Costco or Sam's Club and gotten fresher pizza, more food, and far better value. Instead, I drove here, waited to be acknowledged, and left with what felt like the bare minimum. If this is what they consider a Too Good To Go bag, I can't recommend it. Based on my experience, the staff wasn't welcoming, the value was terrible, and the bag didn't live up to the ratings at all. Save yourself the trip and spend your money somewhere else.

SUPER GOOD FOOD. This place had a great atmosphere and a great staff, that serves up some great pizza, fries, salads, and desserts

We really enjoyed going to LaMesa. The pizza was excellent. The restaurant was clean (which was a huge plus). They were really friendly. Definitely kid friendly. There's ample parking, so no need to worry about that. We enjoyed it and would recommend you going.

La Mesa Pizzaworks is the new kid in town. Not only that, but they are also a Kosher supervised by the San Diego VAAD. I didn't get a whole pie, but some slices to try a variety. I tried the margharita, the BBQ, the "I can't not believe it is pepperoni" slice. All the slices were great. I was particularly fond of the BBQ sauce on one of the slices. I learned it is a house made kosher sauce, and it's delicious! It's definitely a keeper. The plant based pepperoni was great, too. It is a little on the think side, but that promotes a good chew. Its flavor was spot on, and their mind and palate registered pepperoni indeed. The Margharita slice was good, too. The sauce was tasty, and the basil was fresh. The crust on all their pizzas is slightly bready and could use a little chew, in my opinion. It is a very good house made kosher crust. They offer a good amount of inside seating. The menu consists of pizzas, leafless salads, appetizers, soups, pastas, and my favorite: calzones, which I look forward to trying on my next visit. The service was very friendly.

Nice place and nice employees. Pizza was not so good. Crust was more like bread than a pizza crust. Toppings and cheese were nothing special. I had high hopes with the overall rating. I won't be going back.

The pizza shop door is on the left side and the deli/grocery is in the middle. For sandwiches, order at the counter, take your receipt to the grocery cashier and then hand over your yellow receipt at the deli counter when they call your name. Staff in the deli side were nice and helpful. The pizza side not so much. The sandwich was ready faster than my pizza slices. They had a ton of by the slice pizza's to choose from. They have seating inside in the pizza area with a tv that has sports on it. The interior had a cute pizza parlor vibe. Tried: Cheese pizza $6 - good, lots of cheese, but crust was tough and chewy. Whole lotta ties turkey sandwich $14 - good flavor, liked the Italian dressing. Bread was super tough and chewy.

I've been going there for years and always have a great experience, every time. A family-owned treasure in La Mesa.

At this point, easily 4 stars. We sat down at the bar for their Happy Hour until 7pm. We asked for the specials, and were handed two menus, the happy hour menu and the Wednesday special menu. Prices ranged, on the happy hour menu, from $8 - $12. There were no prices displayed on the second menu, which we-- mistakenly-- assumed to be in line with the happy hour specials for the day. We didn't ask, our mistake, and were given no guidance to suggest otherwise. My wife ordered, on top of our other happy hour options, a cobb salad that was part of their Wednesday specials. We didn't touch it during our meal, and opted to box it up so that she could take it to work the next day. We then went and perused their fantastic dessert, candy and gelato sections-- ordering a couple of scoops and a slice of blueberrry pie-- and then asked for our check. When we received our bill, that salad, on special, was billed at $22. We called that into question, since there had never been a price disclosed and this was wildly inconsistent with their other prices. Neither Nicole or Amanda were empowered to do anything about this, so they called their manager, Kyrstin (could be Keirstin or any other spelling). As we were standing at the counter, rather than offering a solution, Kyrstin told them that she was on her way and to have us stay. I responded that I had no interest in waiting for her manager to drive up to the store, and that we were just returning the untouched salad. It's not lost on me that this was an uncool move, but so was an undisclosed $22 charge on a salad supposedly part of their special menu. I told Amanda-- a wonderful server-- that we didn't have time to wait and asked her to get the manager on the phone. She did, and Kyrstin proceeded to tell me that I was screwing a small business by even asking, and that I should have asked about the price prior to ordering. She's not wrong, in retrospect, but the price probably should have been on the written menu that we were provided. This is not a country club where a specials menu prices might be hidden from the guests of the host (but always disclosed to the host). She hung up abruptly with the server, saying she was there, and walked up to the counter saying "the fact that I even had to come in to deal with this...," at which point I cut her off. She didn't need to come in to deal with anything. This was an easy customer service exchange and the fact that she felt she needed to drive back up to the restaurant (should she have still been there to begin with?) to argue with customers was shocking. It was a hostile exchange back and forth, with me saying that I would be happy to pay the entire $104 dollar bill, but that I would dispute the difference with my credit card company. We had already returned the packaged salad, which had been taken by the staff. I imagine that she would say that I talked over her; I would assert the same of her. It was not a nice exchange. The thing is, I have been in this business for almost as long as I've been alive. I've been a restauranteur or a GM for more than 30 years. Here's what I know: when a customer is not satisfied, you do not argue. We weren't asking for anything free. We weren't trying to game the system. We were saying, "Sorry, at this price, we never would have ordered this salad. The price should have been disclosed." We said that repeatedly. Kyrstin finally relented and discounted the salad. She also said that I was banned from coming back. Too bad. Their gelato was fantastic; my wife thought their fried pickles to be first rate. They combined their garlic and habanero sauces on our wings, and they were spicy and delicious. The one and only issue we had was a manager that doesn't understand what hospitality means. Customer service is the number one, most important part of running any restaurant, and she should not, in my opinion, be a manager of a restaurant. Her presence lessened the Centifonti's brand.

The topping, sauce, to crust ratio was so good. No complaints at all fresh and made to order. They have a lemon pepper chicken that was really good and piping hot and cooked really good The crunch and juiciness was on point The establishment isn't huge but can accommodate small to medium groups and of course to-go order. I will definitely return here and definitely recommend checking it out if your in the area. Don't sleep on this business. The vibe here is laid back and cool the lady who makes the pizza is super sweet & has a kind spirit. I'm not sure if they are family owned and operated but they are good. If your ever in the La Mesa area definitely support this business as I'm sure you'll enjoy it and as always you can thank me later
