Rolls Royce Works Pie, 28"
Kim V.

Ordered delivery, which they kindly do for free to Embolden Brewery. We were quoted a 40m wait but it got there probably around 25m. (Didn't look at the exact time but definitely didn't have to wait 40m). Was very very happy that this was an option as the brewery had a ramen station that's basically top ramen and water. I was hungry and was really to do anything else. A friend mentioned pizza and that it was pretty good as well. I'm inclined to agree. I had a few slices with crust and the crust was like a soft bread stick. It has a good chew and texture. The inner slices were a bit greasy but when you get pepperoni it is to be expected. The crust wasn't soft though, even after a while. (Maybe 10-15m after it was delivered?) Delivery man was nice and brought a receipt for me to sign that allowed me to add a tip, which is great since I'm not usually carrying around cash these days. The 28" was about $45 but it fed around 6-7 people at least 2-3 slices. Definitely worth it when you have a bigger crowd.

Margherita Pizza, Mushroom Pizza

The place was nice inside. I liked the music. There was a large variety of pies to choose from. My pizza was pretty good the cheese was a bit gummy and the crust was a bit underwhelming. I wasn't mad at it but it didn't make it into the list of favorites around San Diego.

The last time we went to the Burger Joint, Dee the owner suggested we try the Pizza Joint in the same strip mall. We finally ordered a pizza to go and it was great, The crust is thin and tasty with just the right amount of sauce. Too much sauce and you have a soggy crust. We had the Rolls Royce - lots of toppings 3 kinds of meat, sausage, pepperoni, salami and veggies- onions, peppers, mushroom and olives.

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.

Blue cheese and bacon burger

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!

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.

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.

I came in after testing out a new mount so I can use GPS. I was cold since I forgot my jacket at home and hungry as well. Service was straight forward and the pizza is incredible as always.

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

Flyin' Hawaiian and AleSmith blonde
Roxanne L.

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.

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.

This was more than dinner. 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.

Sunday evening in Little Italy, and Nonna was PACKED. Somehow, we managed to snag a table outside…read moreright next to the Little Italy sign, and honestly, it couldn't have been a better spot. 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.

Food: It was flavorful and enjoyed by the four of us as we shared dishes, but the temperature of…read morethe dishes were inconsistent. My rigatoni came out nuke warm at best with other dishes coming out hot. Service: Hostesses need to understand there roles of being pleasant and welcoming upon arrival.

Oh wow, what a great find! Hubby and I had a plan to park…read morenearby and choose a spot to eat just by the vibe and ambience. 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. A solid recommendation on my part.
