Absolutely the best pizza, subs, and garlic knots in east county. The garlic knots are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Fresh, soft and doughy on the inside with a perfect crisp on the bottom. Fresh chunks of real garlic mixed with fresh grated parm. The Works Pizza was amazing as well. Great topping selection, crust was great, sauce was perfect; not too sweet and plenty of flavor. Not overly cheesy. The Italian torpedo had greta flavor, tons of meat and cheese, and a really delicious dressing on it. Bread was fresh. You can tell that everything is made with only the freshest ingredients and with all the love! We came at an off time so things were quiet and our order didn't take too long at all. I'm guessing it was the owner in the back cooking, and he was teaching the gal in the front. She was super friendly and chatty with my little girl who was with me. Very happy with our order and we will definitely be returning. read more

Food was good the place appeared to be clean and the guy working was friendly. I just grab a sandwich and took it to go. It was more expensive than I would have felt comfortable paying for so I will most likely not be returning. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Everything we had was amazing. Tommy helped us out and he was so friendly and inviting. It's more of a grab and go type of place with not many tables but they do indeed have some seating. The pizza was delicious!!!!! I'm still dreaming about it. Perfect amount of cheese and thin crust. We also had a meatball and it was bomb!!! My husband got a cannoli to go and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be back. read more

We had a Delicious bbq chicken pizza and meatball sub. Sal the owner is one of a kind. What a really nice guy. I Would highly recommend.

If you like New York style pizza you should try this hidden gem. Great food and friendly staff and great specials.

Our pizza was delicious. The toppings were plentiful. I received for your first time go on Wednesday and it half the price.

We ordered calzones for take out and was not disappointed. Price is a little steep for this store.

I really wanted to like this place, but I'm just not sure if this experience was a one off or my expectations were higher. Keep in mind, the prices listed on the website and Yelp menu area are outdated. The price in the Yelp/GrubHub and Slice online order is accurate. Purchased a 14-inch, Works Pizza around Tuesday 6:10pm, picked up at 6:30pm. I was the only customer, got in, asked for my order, and picked up my pizza quickly. The front staff was friendly, handed me my pizza, and I was on my way. It smelled great in the back of the car, and I couldn't wait to dig in. Came home in 5 minutes, opened the box, looks great! Took my first bite, and felt disappointed. Yes there were plenty of toppings, cheese was warm and melty, but the rest felt...just ok. The center (tip of the slice) was loaded with cheese and toppings and flopped/drooped over, but the end/crust was dense, doughy/tough and overly crispy. I normally love eating the crust without any dips or anything, but I had to drench it in ranch just to get a few bites out. Once again, I'm just not sure if this was a one-off, but I honestly chose this because of the high-praising reviews, down the street, and a local business. Pizza was edible. No stomachaches or anything. It's just...the pizza left a lot to be desired. read more

Tommy's Pizza is located next to the Santee VFW 9327. Everything on the menu is excellent. They are incredibly supportive of the Veteran community often donating pizzas to the Veterans hanging out and always giving discounts. We are grateful to have them as a "neighbor" and to call them friends. read more

Pizza and knots were delish! Just the right thinness and toppings. Huge slices! Great value! Combos come with drink. The owner Sal was friendly and helpful. I did have food envy eyeing buffs Philly sandwich... next time! Thanks for your hospitality. read more

Worst meal ever. For $60 bucks!!! Where do I even start....veggie calzone; TONS of ricotta cheese and black olives. Mushrooms, a few specs of green bell pepper and a little red onion. No flavor whatsoever. Pepperoni pizza; husband said it was liking eating cardboard. Antipasto salad; the meat tastes like it sat out in the kitchen all day. A TON of olives (again, too many) the 4 slices of tomato were fresh and tasty. Italian dressing awful too. Super disappointed. read more

Loved this place back in elementary school Cajon decades ago! Was my nana and nonnos spot for quick lunches. Love their bread. Italian, meatball and dip were all great. Absolutely love their sandwiches. read more

Great dough for a little $dough$ !!!! Our 1st Time visit did not disappoint! My sis and I each ordered a slice of pizza with pineapple, my other sis had the slice with mushrooms.... Our waiter, Shawn , who is also 1 of the cooks, was very personable and told us that they use cheese from Wisconsin only --and there's only one supplier in the whole area. Today is Thursday, but He was so kind to offer us the Tuesday special of $3.50/ slice, and added a complimentary additional topping for each of us-- he said it's because we were first timers... Our impressions: Sis# 1 "Very Tasty !" Sis# 2 "Such a generous slice... and the crust was so yummy!" Sis# 3 (Me) " pizza from scratch....oh my!! ...very delicious! " Comfy, bar height indoor seating was a plus! Thank You Shawn-- we'll be back to try the Torpedos and Meatball Sandwich ASAP! read more

Simply delicious pizza! So, let me start by saying I first met Tommy when he worked at Leggio's in El Cajon and later bought it. Tommy later built a new restaurant named Tommy's. Tommy has deep family roots in the Italian Restaurant business going back to the 50s. Many years ago Tommy's on 2nd st. for whatever reason disappeared. But, fortunately for Pizza and Sub lovers they are back and well worth seeking out. Starting with a light and perfectly chewy crust, a perfectly rich, tangy sauce and high quality cheese, your pie is ready for your favorite toppings. My favorite is their homemade sausage. Tommy's son Sal, who's been involved in the business as a cook and manager for many years, is soon to become owner, to carry on what his dad started so long ago, with great food and ownership that cares about the product they put out. Definitely one of the best pies in San Diego that you haven't tried. Did I mention the subs?..... delicious!!!! read more

Fantastic pizza and subs. I found Tommy's when I wanted some mom and pop style pizza, but didn't want one of the many pizza shops with "giant" in their name. The interior is small and humble. It's not some huge sit down restaurant. I ordered The Works pizza which was awesome! It was absolutely covered in toppings and the cheese was melty, hot, and delicious. I was really interested in trying the Italian Torpedo too, but I controlled myself and told myself another time. Well the next day, my wife and I finished a hike and wanted sandwiches. I said let's go try Tommy's sandwiches. We went in and ordered an Italian Torpedo and Italian Tuna Sandwich. The stuff in the sandwich was fresh and superb. The tuna was fresh and the Italian meats were flavorful. But what I want to highlight is the bread. The outer surface of the bread had a nice crunch, which is why I was really surprised how soft the rest of the bread was. It was excellent. I believe the bread was brushed with a little butter too? There was also some oil or dressing in the sandwich that had so much flavor. I highly recommend the pizza and sandwiches. This will be my go-to pizza joint when I want a supreme/combo pizza. read more

Support Your Local Pizzeria. These guys stayed open for Christmas Eve so families can eat. Not only is their pizza great, it's affordable. Thanks fellas. You guys are definitely friends of ours now. read more

Delicious! They used to have another Tommy's back in the day. Their grand opening is soon; in the meantime: Hours: Sun-Thurs 11:00 am - 8:00 pm Fri-Sat 11:00 am - 9:00 pm They will change once they have their grand opening. We started with the Greek salad, we ate in. It seems like the owner likes fresh and yummy food. Served 4. Then we had pizza - my husband is half-Italian and heard about this place through Facebook. We had mushroom and sausage. His eyes grew big. It's delicious!! The dough is just right - not sweet, thin like a good New York pizza, and the sauce tasted fresh. Cheese just enough - not too much; mushrooms fresh and the flavor was great; sausage was "so good". Sodas are $2.69 each fountain. Choices are in the photos. They have a few high top tables, 9 bar seating types, one small 2-3 table. The photos up are The Godfather movie, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, the Rat Pack, etc. See the photos for the menu. Eventually, they will have UberEats deliver or others, but for now, eat in and pickup are available. read more

Food is amazing, 1st time had the hot Italian meatball sub. Called in on Weds as they have their 50% call in/pick up orders. Must call in and pick up only, did just that. Calculated exact change before hand just to be ready but I also brought an extra $10 just had a feeling it was to good to be true. Got to tommys to pick up, he was super polite told him I was there to pick up the meat ball sub. Sal told me to order over the phone next time it is cheaper, which I did just to get the 50%. He gave me a complexed look and nodded ok, ask what the damage was and to my surprise it was full price $12 and some change. Food is amazing, service and atmosphere is great. Just a little more attention to detail and honoring their specials. read more

Unassuming storefront in an unassuming shopping center in Santee, but don't be fooled. This is an old school American Italian pizza joint. Second time here and it didn't disappoint. if you like that newfangled Italian sloppy pizza places that are very popular now this is not for you.. I got the Works. All the pizza places I used to go to have now closed and this is the last one around. I used to like Paesano's in North Park and Capparells between downtown and bankers hill but they closed, so a trip to East County is now required. read more

Tommy is one exceptionally wonderful great family guy .he cares what u want n need Food is top grade.crew is superb. Location and shop r perfect Try the specials and enjoy your pizza and sandwiches n more. THANK YOU TOMMY read more

Edit: Sal the owner just reached out by phone. Upon seeing the review he immediately checked in on things and was able to confirm our concern with the sauce and resolve the issue. We are very pleased that he took time to call and explain what happened and we look forward to trying the pizza again this weekend, as we have heard so many good things about this place! First time trying this place and did so because of reviews on yelp. I really wanted it to be good. The pictures looked great. The pepperoni pizza was delivered hot and the crust was good but the sauce had so much oregano in it that it was not even edible. Is this how their sauce tastes or did I buy a pizza on an off day and someone messed up the sauce. Super disappointed. read more

We were SO disappointed when Tommy's closed in El Cajon, many years ago, so imagine how happy we were when we learned that they reopened a new restaurant! We always go for one thing: the White Pizza, it's that good! We've never found anything like it at any other restaurants in San Diego County. And if course, their salads and garlic bread is great too! ​​ read more

The best Italian Dip/ French Dip I have ever had!! No joke! Such a surprise! Never came here before but I will be back!!

Their pricing is 100% worth it and affordable. 10/10 pizza, 10/10 wings, 10/10 knots. definitely recommend coming here for your quick lunch or dinner. K LOVE THE DEALS THEY HAS AS WELL!!! read more
