    Zappy's Pizza front and center.
    Bobby D.

    Zappy Pizza, I wish you had more than just three locations in San Diego. I am grateful that this location is located in close proximity to my parent's and in-laws' houses. I don't know how Zappy's is able to sell $5 one topping pizzas that don't taste like Little Ceasar's or what you'd expect a $5 pizza to taste like. In Zappy's case, you truly get your money's worth. The San Ysidro Zappy Pizza is located in the heart of San Ysidro behind a Chase Bank and adjacent to a super market. It is a walk up, order, and carry out restaurant. There isn't a seating area to enjoy their delicious pies. I recommend calling in advance and then picking up your pizzas. I called at 3:30pm, informed the kind gentlemen that I was picking up my two pizzas at 5pm, and they were ready for pick up even though I was 10 minutes late. As you enter the restaurant, Zappy's has a large menu board that sells not only pizzas, but also chicken wings and breadsticks. Sorry Little Ceasar's, Zappy's got you beat for value for your money. I don't know about everyone else, but when I buy a $5 Little Ceasar's Pizza, it tastes like a $5 pizza. If you don't finish Little Ceasar's the day you order it, forget about it. Zappy's is not Little Ceasar's. The price is the same, but the Zappy's quality is so much better. Zappy's is fresher, the pizza is more hearty, and to me, it's a tastier pizza. The $5 pricing is only for 1-topping pizzas. They also sell specialty pizzas, but at a higher price. I ordered two pepperoni pizzas, which were cheesy, abundantly layered with pepperoni, and were significant sized pizzas for $5. These pizzas were well received at my family party. With such a glowing review, you're probably wondering why the 1 star deduction. It's simple folks. For such a great quality pizza at the inexpensive price of $5, there should be a plethora of Zappy's, so that more San Diegans can enjoy a deliciously, cheap pizza. Sorry, Little Ceasar's. If Zappy's does pizza this good, I'll definitely be back to try their chicken wings.

    Nice people, decently priced, taste was just basic, and crust was thick. Not bad but nothing special either.

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.

    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.
