    Blue cheese and bacon burger
    Alissa T.

    So good! We stopped here after a long afternoon of furniture shopping, and the Pizza Joint is conveniently located near all the big furniture shops! My family split a few pieces of pizza, a burger, and the chicken strips. Everything was so delicious. The man working behind the counter was very helpful with navigating all the menu options. The restaurant itself is clean, and they even had high chairs. We will be back!

    Came back here with my buddy's and man oh man. Got the garlic knots again and we shared the buffalo fries ! Both so amazing! We got the Hailey's comet that had halal pepperoni. We loved the chipotle chicken also. But our favorite was the margarita highly recommend 10/10. You won't be disappointed.

    My kids could eat pizza all day, every day, but they're also very basic cheese pizza. One of them will try new toppings, but almost always ends up back at cheese. My wife likes different toppings but ends up eating only 2 slices and I'm left with the rest. What makes this place work for me: * I can get several different sliced pizzas. * Great combo deals with a fountain drink (choose 1, 2, or 3 slices) * Beer and pizza slice deals. I wish Heineken was available on draft. * Free parking * Military parking How to order: * You order at the counter. They bring it out to you. Slices are already made, heated fast, and generously topped. Perfect when your basic kids want cheese and you want an adult pizza. This is one of those places that just works for families. Cheese pizza kiddos are happy, adventurous eaters have options, and I can actually enjoy something without having to worrying about having to eat a whole pizza. Fast, filling, casual, and stress-free.

    AWARENESS: My son and I recently stayed in the Miramar area and were looking for new and highly rated places to eat on the Yelp app when we came across The Pizza Joint reviews. NARRATIVE: Walking in to the Pizza Joint, I was glad to see they sell pizzas by the slice. As you can see by the pictures I posted, there pizza slices come in many, many options. I ordered three slices and the drink combo which came in just around $20 bucks. All the pizza slices are heated to a crispy and hot temperature and they are not stingy with their slices or toppings. I tried the; Baron''s NY Special, the Murder Scene and the Bronx Bomber and I'd have to say, my favorite of all three was the Murder Scene. Not the best sliced pizza I've had but, not the worst by any means. SCENE: The Pizza Joint is located in the same strip mall as; The Burger Joint & Brew and the Royal Cigar Lounge right off of Miramar Rd. RECOMMENDATION(S): Good spot for a quick, easy and cheaper pizza option. Recommended.

    Flyin' Hawaiian and AleSmith blonde

    Lawd jeezus a slice from this place hits really satisfies . I am not a fan of pineapple and ham pizza or big on ranch, but their Flyin Hawaiian is a sweet, savory, spicy blend that will have your lips tingling, mouth watering , and your soul will absolutely sing with joy. Not to mention they have a selection of local and not so local beers on tap. The service is great, atmosphere is lively.. give this place a shot.

    I really liked the bbq chicken pizza. We went on a sunday after the movies in mira mesa and it was a great spot. Plenty of parking and easy access. Would love to come back and try the chicken pesto pizza. Service was attentive and I cant wait to come back

    Condiments (chili flakes, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder)

    Stumbled upon this pizza place on a Monday night around 8:45pm. There was a big sign that said 20% off for Military Mondays so since my boyfriend is a veteran we came in for a bite. We ordered 2 Pepperoni Jalapeno pizza slices, a Hawaiian slice, a Combination slice, and a soda for about $20 total with the discount. There was plenty of seating available and the slices were heated up and came out quickly! I liked that they offered oregano and garlic powder as condiments, and the fountain drinks had unique flavors! There was pineapple cream soda, vanilla cream, root beer, and black cherry. I got a kick out of mixing them, I mixed the vanilla cream with the root beer to mimic a root beer float :0) My boyfriend really appreciated the Military Monday discount so we'll definitely be coming back for it!

    The Pizza Joint is a late night treat for takeout pizza and calzones near Miramar/Mira Mesa. Their pizzas, calzones, and strombolis are large & they've been consistent for pickup orders for me over the past three years. They are convenient and made to order. They offer some inside seating, online ordering, and there is open lot parking. The parking lot also has Tesla charging stations in front of the restaurant.

    12/28/2024.  Pizza by the slice display case.  It's $4.50 per slice; $9.50 for two slices with a soda; or $13 for two slices with a beer.
    Jeff F.

    TPJ has tip-top pizzas and service. Here are the details... 12/28/2024. I've arrived here when they've opened at 10:00 am and they had fifteen different pizzas in the display case that were ready for purchase by the slice. It's $4.50 per slice and they have a deal at $9.50 for two slices with a cup for their soda fountain, or $13 for two slices with a beer. Chicken bacon ranch pizza by the slice: as expected, this slice didn't disappoint due to the combination of grilled chicken, smoked bacon, ranch sauce, and oregano that created harmonious flavors, 5/5 stars! Capo pizza by the slice: this meat trio of peperoni, sausage, and meatballs is perfect for carnivores. Combined with the zesty sauce and soft internal doughy crust that has a slight crispy exterior. If this just had more cheese, it would've been perfect. Thus, my rating is 4/5 stars. The service was just as spectacular. From the moment we've walked in, the gentleman greeted us with "good morning." He was ready to take our order at the front counter. I asked for his recommendation on pizza slices based on my preferences and he mentioned that capo is popular, while the bacon ranch pizza is their best seller. It took only about 2 minutes for the pizza slices to warm up and he delivered them to our table. Without us asking, he provided a small pizza box for a fam member's leftover pizza slice. The pizza was as tasty as anticipated, while the remarkable service was a welcoming surprise.

    Undercooked. Was basically half cooked.
    Peter L.

    Pizza was undercooked. Dough was almost raw. Very little sauce. Not recommended. Paulys Pizza Joint a few blocks away is much better with similar prices. A bit odd that 2 pizza places have similar names so close to each other.

    Bronx Bomber Pie
    Coleen R.

    Checked out The Pizza Joint in Miramar and was not disappointed! We ordered the Bronx Bomber pizza along with some garlic knots, and both were delicious. The pizza had a great balance of flavors, with quality toppings and a nice crust--not too thick or thin. The garlic knots were a solid addition, perfectly garlicky and soft. If you're in the area and craving a good pizza, I'd definitely recommend giving The Pizza Joint a try!

    Noriko C.

    Great service! That is how you can get my 5-star rating. We ordered two pizzas and they were both baked to perfection. We need to come back and try their other items besides the pies. A lot of drink choices and they do have alcohol, as well. Plenty of indoor seating. Parking was not a pain and we were able to find parking right in front of the store.

    This place is low key the best fried chicken I've ever had. I prefer boneless so I got the chicken…read moretenders, and the meat quality was great (I hate tendon-y weird bits which is why I avoid dark meat) and it was the most moist chicken tender ever too. And somehow so hot that it nearly burned my mouth (this is a good thing, as so many fried chicken places bring out lukewarm chicken). This place clearly fries to order (it does take a bit longer to get your order because of it, but it's absolutely worth it). And the size - these are the biggest chicken tenders ever! My husband and I could barely finish 8 pieces together, and he eats a lot. The generous serving size makes this place the best deal in town, in addition to being the best quality and best tasting. We got the Gold King which was the perfect sweet-garlic-soy flavor, and the spicy chicken (can't remember what it's called but it's one of the "basic" non sauces options). The spicy wasn't that spicy (and I can't handle very much spice at all) so some people might not think it's spicy enough. Definitely flavor over heat. The batter is so light and crispy, great texture. You can't get the special flavors when you order a 4 count unfortunately, you have to choose between "plain" fried chicken or spicy, but then they give you a free sauce to go with it (but the sauces are different than the special flavors that are available for the larger count options). I wish I could get any flavor in the 4-count orders. Service: Everyone is SO NICE here! Super friendly, and when they found out we wanted to watch the basketball game, the manager logged into his own personal Amazon prime account to stream the game for us (and brought out cheese balls for us too!) This is our new favorite fried chicken place. Well done all around!

Place was not very busy and it seemed that…read morethe chicken was fried to order so it took about 15 minutes from ordering to get our meal. The soy garlic was my favorite flavor. The chicken was crispy, juicy and well seasoned. The original was not far behind with an equally good crunch expected from a good spot. My least favorite was the spicy variety as I found it a little bit off-balance between the sweet and spicy favoring the sweet side. I would certainly return and get the original and soy garlic varieties again and I think this is one of the top Korean fried chicken places in San Diego. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the restaurant has inside as well as outdoor seating with a cool new modern vibe. Prices were reasonable for the current market, and chicken pieces itself were bigger than some competitors.

I really like the sweetness of the honey but I think it was overpowered by the garlic. Spicy Galbi (8/10): These tasted really meat-y, like kbbq.

But my friend kept raving about it so I finally checked it out. 7pm on a Wednesday night, there was no crowd. Walked in and there was plenty of seating. While the dining room was empty, our entire time there, we saw so many people coming to pick up "to go" orders. There are several flavors to choose from on the chicken. We opted for the original and the honey garlic, which are 2 of the most popular. WOW!!! The honey garlic was by far the favorite, but both were equally good. I definitely want to try the other flavors now. In addition to the chicken they also have several different ddeok-bokki bowls. The Rose ddeok-bokki had a little bit of spice, but not to bad. You can go hotter if you can handle it. Overall, this place was great. They do not have a soda fountain. Everything is bottled or cans, which is disappointing. Only because I need a lot to drink when my mouth is on fire. So I had to take it easy with my canned coke. But I will definitely be back again soon to try something new.

I love the whole concept: crispy tots, seasoned chicken, ranch, and all the good stuff loaded together. It's messy, flavorful, and exactly what I crave when I want comfort food. I'd give those fries an easy 8.5/10, and honestly, they're the main reason I keep coming back. Now for the rest of the experience: I first visited Dirty Birds back in 2022 and tried their wings. I think they're often listed as a local favorite, but they just weren't it for me. Maybe it was the flavor I chose or just an off day -- not sure. Unless someone else gets them and I try a bite, I probably wouldn't go for them myself. Customer service was just okay. Not rude, just kind of... meh. The workers were young and It didn't feel like anyone was especially engaged or welcoming. On the bright side, the signs around the place are actually pretty funny (especially the water one), and there's plenty of seating, which is a big plus. One thing I didn't love was the shared restroom setup. Even though the door closes, I personally didn't feel super comfortable using it. If you're into sports, this is probably your vibe -- they had games playing and a group fully tuned in when I was there. Prices are fair, and I'd still be open to exploring more of the menu in the future. Bottom line: If you're gonna try anything here, make it the Dirty Chicken Fries Tots -- they're 100% the star of the show.
