We had seen ad's for Filippis an old family style italian restaurant voted best pizza by a local paper. We opted for take out as the restuaurant was pumping, it looked friendly had a very authenic theme as you walked through an Italian foodstore on the way in. I would like to say it was great as I loved how... more

Everytime I come to San Diego I go here to eat pizza at least once. It's delicious, filling and you can't beat the price. My husband and I always order one large pizza ("the works") and two beverages and that's enough food for the two of us. If you think the line is too long they also have other locations... more

I lived in San Diego for seven years when I was a child. My family would go to Filippis quite often. When we moved up to Seattle I remembered my parents would always complain that there wasn't any pizza to eat that was even close to Filippis. Recently my wife and I went back down to San Diego to visit... more

I've been traveling to San Diego 1-3 times a year all my life, and filipp's is always on the food tour. It's a great family place with really reasonable prices, the staff is very nice, and the food is delicious, and consistently comforting. It takes pride in not being the Ritz, it's just a comfy family restaurant. more

Someone comes out and takes your name when you join the long queue. We were told the wait would be one-half hour. I didn't believe it because the line was out the crowded storefront and down the street. Based on tripadvisor.com reviews, we decided to stick with it. Much to my surprise, the wait was indeed about 30 minutes. The... more

This is a truly fantastic family restaurant. If you don't come early to the downtown (India Street) location, there will be a line, but it is worth the wait. We are in SD at least twice a month and rarely miss a trip to Phillipis. more

Heard about this place and took our family of 4 there on a Sunday evening. The line was out the door and down the sidewalk, but did move at a good pace. This place was so worth the wait. Great food, cute italian decor inside. Would definitely go back! more

We found Filippi's Pizza & Grotto in a travel book for San Diego. It sounded good, so we gave it a try. Don't be fooled by the outside, the restaurant is through the deli and is quite large. We loved the casual atmosphere. Being from Chicago, we know good pizza, and are always a little reluctant to order pizza in... more

We were told by the staff at our hotel that Filippi's Pizza Grotto was a great place, and it did not disappoint! We were a little worried though when we walked about a block from our hotel to the restaurant that the line was so long! And we were equally worried when people in front of us were "holding places"... more
