The Sinatra pizza
David N.

I went on a Saturday afternoon, parking was pretty packed . The line to order wasn't bad though we waiting a few minutes to take our order so that gave us some time to go through the menu. We decided on the weeks special called "The Sinatra" which has White clam sauce, garlic, parsley, lemon, pecorino Romano , house cured bacon, and fresh clams. Also I got my favorite sandwich called the RockyTop -salami, calicos, mortadella, provolone, arugula, pepper relish, garlic mayo, and lemon vinaigrette Both 5/5!!! After ordering our food we got some seats and it was so beautiful. People out with their dogs and families, music playing, there's also a brewery serving delicious drinks and it was a beautiful vibe in our beautiful city. Such a great experience!

I have been ordering from her for at least a few years. However, I have to say the quality has not been the same recently. We ordered two pizzas to go tonight. The toppings were very scarce on the parliament pizza.

The Elvis

The pizza here is not too shabby, especially when you're drinking some beers! I'd say parking is a bit difficult unless you park on the long road. Located right next to deft brewery, in their little beer garden, this pizza joint has connected with the other businesses in this courtyard in order to bring customers a top tier experience. You walk in, seat yourself, and the pizza menus are layed out on every table. You can either get beer, go get mead, or enjoy some wine with your pizza. There's numerous seating spots for you and inside the brewery itself. These guys at the pizza place will ask for your table number when you order food, so they can personally deliver it to you. The pizza is New York style thin crust. I ended up getting the Elvis which has prosciutto, arugula, and cheese on top of it. It was cut up into 6 slices and was very large portions. It was great, fresh, and hot. The only downfall was how burnt my pizza was, which I appreciate because I can tell it was house made to order. I'd love to come back especially when visiting San Diego!

One of the weekly specials: corned beef with pickles, so good
Elizabeth C.

Pizza Cassette is of my favorite places in San Diego to get Napoli style pizza. They make them to order, so if it's a busy night be patient because it might take 45 minutes to 60 minutes to get your food. Sit down and enjoy your beverages while you wait. My two favorite regular pizzas are The Queen and The Soprano. I also enjoy their weekly specials, because you never know what combination you might get. One of my favorites recently had corned beef and pickles on it. They offer gluten-free crust, the first time we ordered it. It was so tasty. I thought they accidentally messed up our order but my friends and family with us with celiac disease were not affected so it's proved that it was legit gluten-free. They also have options for vegetarians and vegans, including vegan cheese. Outside their pizzas, they also have salads, sandwiches, and delicious small bites/appetizers. Some of my favorites are: Homegrown tomatoes, basically a Caprese salad Cheese plate incident: a lovely charcuterie board with meat, cheese, and various things like mustard or jam, and some type of pickle; this particular one can change each week, depending on what they have available Marinaded Olives: self-explanatory Got a sweet tooth? There's weekly dessert specials such as cheesecake, brownies, homemade ice cream, and other homemade sweets on rotating basis. Pizza cassette is nestled on the front left corner of the Gartën, open Tuesdays-Sundays (sometimes weather permitting)

Such a cute beer garden with wood fired pizza and beer, cider, and wine!!! Parking is a little limited but there's a dirt lot at the end of the street. Not sure if it's exactly for this spot, but we parked there and it was fine. The space ain't super big but there's a large variety of table options for different group sizes. There's also a little stage for live music. Both our pizzas were delicious. Lovely char on the crust and tasty, fresh toppings. The salad on the other hand, was just ok. The staff at all the businesses were very friendly and service was prompt. We will definitely be back for the food and ambiance!

Ezzo pizza
Jeanette M.

Oh For All, the pizza was pretty good. It was super thin and the toppings slid off very quickly but overall very satisfied with this pizza. The surfaces very quick as as well as you get to enjoy. Live music and beverage of your choice from the common area. Fun little spot definitely will go back.

Special of the week - The Nutorious FIG (FIg, Prosciutto, burrato (they ran out on mine), arugula
Heather W.

I feel really late to the party on experiencing this place - great vibe, good food, live music. Love the courtyard with multiple complimentary businesses, seat yourself with counter ordering. Its a great place to meet up with friends. I actually discovered them on my Instagram when they were featured by a local food influencer account and started following. When I saw a reel on their special of the week (Notorious F.I.G.) I was finally prompted to check it out. Pie prices are steep but on par with most good pizza places these days. Their special hovered close to $30. I would say the pizzas are larger than a personal size, a modest shared pizza for two (but if you are ordering other things, totally appropriately sized for 2). Sadly, they ran out of burrata for the evening so my pizza wasnt really as intended. I inquired about some fresh mozz instead which they brought over but that was cold slices. Still not quite the same but they tried to be accommodating. My pizza was an "eh" opinion (its honestly more flatbread), esp for the high price tag of ingredients I didnt get to experience fully. Thank goodness we also got the Fungadelic (salami, mushroom, mozzarella,parmesan, garlic, shallot) because that pizza is BOMB. Wow delicious. I would come back every time for that one. The evening we came (sunday) they also had live jazz music and it was a great vibe. Given you seat yourself, order at the counter and provide your table #, and its quick fired pizzas, it is a very efficient place for a meal. Great for a large group to not have to worry about bill splitting, and great for when you are super hungry as they are very efficient. We'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends next time! Parking is definitely challenging but we managed on the street. Plan for a bit of time there.

This is the food vendor at The Garten which is an outdoor courtyard in a cluster of industrial warehouses in the Linda Vista neighborhood. There was no dedicated on-site parking lot so you had to find a curbside space on one of the side streets. Pizza Cassette was located immediately to the left when you walked into The Garten. Menu sheets were placed at the picnic tables that were set up in the middle of the common space. There was an evenly divided number of pizzas between the red pies and white pies on the bottom part of the menu. Appetizers and sandwiches made up the top half of the sheet. I wasn't hungry enough to order a pizza so I pivoted to the latter category. From the list of five sandwiches, my pick was the Korn(ed) Beef which cost a hefty $20. House brined and smoked pastrami was dressed in Swiss cheese, kohlrabi slaw, and Dijon mayonnaise. I sat a table to wait for my order which took about ten minutes. A worker handed me a wrapped package that was quite heavy. I then understood why this sandwich was priced as such because it was the largest one I have encountered in a while. The layers of meat were densely packed between the bread. It needed more slaw and dressing as I found the pastrami to be dry because there was so much. Two meals at home were what it took for me to finish consuming the sandwich. I will return and either try another sandwich or pick up a red pie as I had a positive experience at my initial visit to Pizza Cassette.

Kevin T.

TL;DR: Friendly and fast service and (too) loaded pies pair great with all the drinks in the beer garden. Definitely worth getting while you're here! I love when restaurants load up the portion size and the team at Pizza Cassette definitely didn't disappoint. That said, maybe it was cuz I was the 2nd to last pie ordered for the night and they needed to finish their toppings or maybe they just felt like being nice - in any case (and I honestly can't believe I'm saying this), while the flavor was great, the toppings were way too much...which, I guess was a good problem to have. I loved the undercarriage and the extra crisp to the crust - you see burnt, I see texture :) However, even the perfect undercarriage couldn't hold up the toppings on our Fungadelic pie I'll definitely come back for the pizza and the drinks! Cheers, Pizza Cassette!

weekly special
Alex F.

Great location in The Garten, decent amount of street parking available nearby. Both the thin crust and deep dish pizzas are really good. They always have interesting pizza specials that change on a weekly basis, haven't had a bad one yet.

H to the Izzo
Steve L.

One of the best pizza places places in San Diego. The dough is amazing, chewy but craip. The toppings are always high quality. The pastrami sandwich is huge but fantastic. It definitely enough for 2 meals.They get busy so I would expect a. It of wait if you in person and give yourself 30 minutes of leeway if you order take out over the phone.

I stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon around 4 PM. The food truck is located right inside of the biergarten. They offer a great selection of pizzas, along with starters and sandwiches. One thing worth noting: happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 3-5 PM, and they offer $5 pizzas, which is a great deal. I ordered: * Pork Soda Pizza: Absolutely delicious. The crust was thin and crispy, and the balsamic drizzle really added to the entire dish. The service was outstanding. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and one of the chefs even came out and handed pepperonis to the dogs on the patio. The space itself is spacious with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to hang out with friends, family, or your pup. Overall, excellent service, amazing pizza, and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and work my way through more of the menu.

Lemon Song
Roger P.

Pizza Cassette is a great place for a large group hangout, with most of the seating outdoors. It's located in the Garten, which has a brewery and meadery too! Order your pizza, let them know your table number, and grab a drink while you wait. Pizza Cassette also has Happy Hour Tuesday - Friday from 3PM - 5PM, knocking $5 off of the pizzas. Each pizza is 14 inches and should be good for 1-2 people. Despite the long lines and pizza being made fresh, the food came out in less than 10 minutes. I tried two white pizzas, the Pork Soda and Lemon Song. The Pork Soda was really good and I'm a sucker for balsamic and arugula on pizzas. The Lemon Song sounded really interesting and I think I would've liked it more if the lemon slices weren't cooked with the pizza. The rinds left a bitter taste and we ended up picking it off the pizza. Overall, pretty decent pizza place. The sandwiches look really good and I'll have to come back and give them a try!

It was an experience…read more We sat tucked away in a little corner that honestly felt like we were having dinner in someone's grandmother's house, and I mean that in the BEST way possible. Cozy, warm, intimate and welcoming. And the FOOD?! I was convinced somebody's Italian grandmother had to be downstairs hand making that pasta because there was no other explanation. I had the lobster ravioli and started with the bruschetta tostada. Everything was absolutely chef's kiss. Fresh, flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. But what made the experience even better was our waiter, Mauricio! He was simply amazing. He genuinely took care of us, shared the story of the restaurant and talked about how much he enjoyed working there. And you could tell. It showed in the way he treated us and the attention he gave throughout the entire meal. Great food is one thing. Great food paired with genuine hospitality is something completely different. I will DEFINITELY be back the next time I'm in San Diego. If you're looking for homemade pasta, amazing food and that warm family feel, put this place on your list. You will not be disappointed.

After a long day at the beach, we ordered a bottle of wine, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't ridiculously overpriced. Sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine and watching Little Italy come alive was exactly what we needed. Our server was exceptional. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. But let's talk about the food... The food was AMAZING. We ordered several different things, and everything we tried was delicious, but the pappardelle with short ribs was the standout. The pasta was absolutely fantastic--rich, comforting, and exactly the kind of Italian comfort food you want at the end of a long day. And then there was the dessert case... Oh. My. Goodness. Everything in that case looked like it was personally designed to make you regret saying, "No, we're too full for dessert." Nonna was exactly what we were hoping for that evening: great food, great service, a beautiful Little Italy setting, and a relaxed atmosphere where we could sit outside and enjoy ourselves. I can't wait to go back and eat some more Italian comfort food--and next time, I'm getting the tiramisu.

It was a Friday evening and every restaurant on the street was full and vibrant. You could Yelp these places all day long and it would be hard to choose. There's so many great restaurants around Little Italy. Mimmo's reached out and called us in. There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot. Our waiter was so personable and had all the answers to our inquiries. He suggested items and even answered honestly when needed. I got a Le Pécora Nera Sangria (fizzy blackberry with lemon). Tasty, but too many blackberry seeds coming up the straw. I'd get another one next time. For the appetizers: RISOTTO ARANCINI (a MUST get) - these were absolutely delicious. Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant.
