Superb pizza in East County - absolutely delicious and highly recommended! Prices are on the higher end, but you get what you pay for!

Pizza was great. Service not so much. The guy that took my order was in a bad mood and seemed annoyed , then went to the back and groaned loudly and a coworker (female) said "that kind of day huh, I understand". So I'm taking off two stars for service. But hey, the guy that made my pizza did a great job! read more

Mi lugar favorito para la lassagni y pizza , la ensalada no s diga mas esta chingona la comida 100 % recomendable

Don't order anything but the pizza. Ordered spaghetti and lasagna and it was absolutely disgusting. It looks and taste like it's been sitting out for days. Pizza is whatever. I'd give it 2 stars. read more

I Love this place , great view of the mountains from inside the restaurant! You will not be disappointed

Excellent pizza, sauce was awesome crust was perfectly cooked and crispy!!!Good salad and Great service!!!!

The pizza is so good!! It's crispy and LOADED with toppings. We always order the Meat Lover's and it is always stacked with meat. The pizza looks thick but the crust is thin and crispy, the rest of the weight comes from all toppings. So yummy, wish I lived closer. The workers are always nice and the wait isn't too bad. Really can't complain when you're getting fresh-out-the-oven goodness. Mmmm mmmm read more

Surprisingly tasty yet casual pizza. There is outdoor seating in front of water feature. Priced right. Great value if you incorporate the aesthetic value. A solid 5 star rating for me. read more

Came in for lunch and my wife and I got the 1/2 order of Lasagna and cheese Ravioli, salad and soup. For half size, VERY large portions, very well prepared and sauces on both were very well done. Nice marinara sauce both meat and meatless; sauces have nice blend of spices. Very friendly staff. Worth a try if you have not been in yet. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon. My parents and son wanted something else, but my husband wanted to try this place. We placed an order for an 8" pizza and a half and half of spaghetti and lasagna. We were told it would take about 15-20 mins for our order and since my husband ordered a beer he couldn't leave the restaurant with it. I took a seat at the tables for dine in with my husband and my Dad walks in with his left overs from the other restaurant they ate at and a young woman rudely tells us that there is no outside food allowed. This is understandable, but there's no need to be rude about it because 1. THERE WERE NO SIGNS SO HOW WOULD WE KNOW THIS and 2. WE JUST SPENT $30 AT YOUR ESTABLISHMENT. Her lack of tact prompted me to go outside to find a table before I went off on her because by this point, 20 mins already passed and we still didn't get our food and the audacity to be so rude when you're already providing sub par service is just ignorant. My husband had to stay in the restaurant while he finished his beer and this same rude young woman approached him basically asking if we're going to be occupying the table/dining in because there were other people who wanted to dine in. My husband a little taken back just told her that he was just finishing his beer and he'll be taking our food to go since they basically kicked us out. I'm pretty irritated at this point so I check how long we've been waiting for our food (my son called me after we ordered and I text my husband right before he came out of the restaurant to meet us outside) and we waited 30 minutes!! We waited 30 minutes to get our food, got treated poorly and here's the kicker.....the food was NOT GOOD AT ALL!! Had the food been delicious or even "okay" I wouldn't have been complied to write this lengthy review, but you cannot drop the ball on all fronts. Pick a struggle. You can't provide poor customer service, take forever to cook the food, AND have the food not taste good. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I will definitely not be coming back here. read more

The food was amazing. We ordered a 1/2 order of spaghetti and ravioli and an antipasto salad. Everything was tasty and delicious. The dressing on the antipasto was out of this world. You cannot beat the prices! Next time you are at Viegas; stop in. You will not be disappointed. read more

This place has an owner who has no consideration on a big family group. All we want is to enjoy a nice lunch together. They had no coffee but yet it's on the menu so I went next door to buy one and came back to eat lunch with my family. While we sit to wait on our order we have employees coming to us because we can't sit together as a family with more than 4 adults. Once again the employees come to us and tell us we can't drink outside drinks in the restaurant due to covid! That's the most absurd thing I've heard I was only drinking a coffee from next door because they didn't have any to begin with! It was very rude and annoying thing to have been told to leave when we just wanted to enjoy this time that we don't get very often to be out as a family. Out of the group only two of us had to leave because we had an outside coffee from next door. RUDE! I don't think this place is family friendly at all and very rude to ask us to leave the restaurant because of a coffee. I will not be back here. read more

Loved this place. Located inside the Viejas outlet center. Their Pizza is good and their torpedo sandwiches even better. There is about 12 tables inside. You order first and food is brought to the table. Nothing but good things to say. read more

If you want to find a place with no customer service and okay food, go here. To the owner of this restaurant, please educate your cooks and employees to be more courteous and have more communication with each other. The one who's greatly affected for the lack of communication is the customer. I am not going to come here even though I'd love to support a small business like this one. Thanks for ruining Father's Day for a bit. Good job at it! read more

Pizza is delicious. If you like Fillipis, you will like it here. Cheap beers if you are headed to a concert and do not want to pay 8 bucks once you get in. BEST LASAGNA EVER. read more

Pizza , sandwiches , and pasta are all amazing. Every time we come here the staff is friendly and the food is great.

A star simply because I had to select one.. I would give it none I it was an option. Terrible service. My husband was accused of an "altercation", because he scribbled on the receipt when signing an asked the cashier for another one, she alleged that he threw it at her. Which he did not, simply pushed it back towards her. The girl was clearly having a bad day because she had an attitude from the beginning. Another customer my husband was speaking too was complaining about the service as well.. I work in customer service an know u leave ur problems at the door. Managers clearly had staff's back because they made a scene when we got our food. After all that the pizza was cold an bland. Never again read more

I've never tasted cardboard before... until now: - "spinach lasagna" tasted like bitter cardboard - "garlic bread" was salty cardboard - "water" was liquid cardboard The worst part was that I kept eating because I was ravenous and each bite actually tasted more like cardboard. HOW. PLS, I JUST WANTED FOOD. I KNOW IT WAS THE MALL, BUT I WAS HUNGRY AND THERE WERE NO EXPECTATIONS. NONE. ... :( read more

My friend and I always go to the sushi place when we have a day out at the Viejas outlet. Since we had sushi the night before I suggested we try something different. Our choices, were Rubio's, always my favorite, Adriano's, or KFC. Since I'd rather starve than eat KFC, we chose Adriano's. As we went inside, I was a little intimidated by what I saw. The cashier and some big guy were standing by the cash register staring at us. Neither one greeted us. Here's where I should say the counter was REALLY high. I had to look up at them to place my order. So we walked up to the counter and placed our orders. I was in the mood for a sandwich so I ordered the Capacola with Provolone. My friend, petite as she is, ordered a half and half of lasagna and spaghetti. When the orders came out, we were pleasantly surprised. My sandwich was stuffed with lots of Capacola ham and a slice of provolone cheese. The lettuce was thinly shredded and there was an italian relish that put it over the top. The best part about the sandwich was the toasted roll. The tastes and flavors measured up to my expectations. My friends plate of food was enormous. The spaghetti was oozing over the side and the mound of lasagna looked brilliant. Her order came with a basket of garlic bread that really didn't matter. It was garlic bread, end of story. The half and half, however, was cooked perfectly and the sauce was to die for. It was meaty and had just the right consistency. I tried a few bites, there was no way my petite friend was going to finish it all, and instantly fell in love with this place. I would order any pasta item off the menu if it came with that same sauce. Outstanding!! Why not 5 stars you may be asking? The intimidating way I felt upon entering the restaurant. Bring the counter down to my level and I'd feel better about this place. read more

What kind of Italian restaurant doesn't have olive oil? My daughter's and her friends love buttered pasta with olive oil and fresh garlic. They only have butter here according to the man at the register, no olive oil. What! Aren't some pizzas finished with olive oil? Thought olive oil was an Italian staple. Gluten-free crust has changed, it used to be yummy now it tastes like cardboard. Although I think mine was over cooked this time. The guy at the register asked my friend if she had cash. Obviously if she had cash she would've paid with cash, duh! He looked like he didn't want to be working. Won't be coming back here. read more

This place has it all! Friendly customer service, nice warm atmosphere and homemade delicious Italian food. I had the soup and salad lunch special and the Italian dressing is the best. Their homemade split pea soup was very fresh and tasty. The kids had pepperoni and cheese pizza which was amazing. The crust tasted homemade and the mozzarella cheese tasted better than any ordinary pizza. Even the red pepper tasted like they added something special to the jar. The garlic bread was a nice added touch. We will definitely be back for more! read more

I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews? Our food was delicious, generous portions and the staff was friendly. To me that's all you need. Maybe the bad review was cause of the decor? either way i was satisfied read more

Have to say that the food & the pizza is amazing !! What I wanted to make a note of is the service, not sure of her position but Jennifer possible the manager knows her stuff. She makes sure you get your order and is attentive. Very knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure that your meal is perfect when served. I will absolutely be referring customers and coming back. read more

My wife and I came and asked questions to the cashier regarding if they used peanuts because my wife has a severe peanut allergy and she was very rude , we asked for her to check the bread label and she refused and had the odacedy to say that our service dog wasn't allowed on her premesis until we told her about service dog rights. Little that we knew that she was the manager which is even worst, who would in their state right of mind would promote a person like that with no qualifications. She should be ashamed of her self and hopefully the owner would read this post and train this ignorant no class manager. Her name is Jennifer and Daniel there cook was more helpful than her.....would not be back because of her.... read more

I always liked their pizza in the past. So I came and got a pizza to go around 11:30 and it wasn't the same . The crust was thin and burned. I wish I would of looked at it before I left . read more

Not from the area... Was driving thru and stumbled upon this place. Probably one of the best finds on the whole trip. The service was friendly and prompt. Food was cooked to perfection. There was something for everyone and was reasonably priced. Again not from the area but would definitely come back if we come thru here again!!! read more

I was surprised to see some reviews on here because I have nothing negative to say about this place. This place has the best pizza ever! It actually reminds me of pizza from New York. It also is a bonus that the customer service is great. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

I've been here a couple of times in the last couple weeks and was happy they had good pizza at the outlets. We all got our own small pizzas and they were hot, fresh and cheesy. The crust was soft and crisp in all the right places. Don't forget to order your ranch with the meal, they give a nice sized portion for the full pizza. read more

I was absolutely surprised at how good the pizza tasted. A sit in restaurant next to the food court at the Viejas Outlet. Gooey hot cheese dripping down as you cut each slice. Ordered the pepperoni and sausage pizza - large was able to feed 4 people and a child. Was a bit disappointed in the antipasto salad but overall a good experience. Will definitely come back again. read more

Love this Italian restaurant at the Viejas outlets! We always order their spaghetti and lasagna which my husband and I split because the portions are pretty good size! The spaghetti sauce is amazing. We also get a side order of a meatball. because their palm size! Their garlic bread is really good, too, which we like to dip it in the sauce. Only downfall is, they serve Pepsi products and we like Coke. But that's just us! read more

I just stopped at Adriano's Pizza Grotto for lunch since I was near by working. I ordered meat sauce lasagna to go. I thought it was strange how quick it was prepared, but oh well. When I opened and start eating it, what a disappointment. It was cold and there were only a few chunks of meat here and there and the cheese wasn't even melted. The sauce on it was definitely from those giant jars from Costco stores. I don't recommend this place for anyone. If you spent $8 dollars on a piece of lasagna, it must be a good piece of lasagna. Very disappointed, and I will never come back. read more

Adriano's Pizza Grotto - No meat sauce. Tomato sauce and from the color and look, it came from a jar. Pieces of cold cheese. - Pizza Near Me - Alpine, California

My husband and I found this place recently and were pretty happy with it. We always order a small pizza and salad with garlic bread. It's always very fresh, no brown lettuce, fresh veggies, tons of cheese on the pizza and lots of yummy ranch. Very happy read more

Ok so the pizza is bomb. Plain and simple. Cheese for days and the crust is perfect. I can't wait to go back!

Such a great pizza spot. I would come here more often if I lived closer, but it's 100% worth the drive. My favorite part about it is that they add a lot of toppings, almost completely covered in them. The people here are so nice too. I would recommend this place to friends and anyone that likes pizza. read more

We stopped on our way back to Phoenix & decided to give this place a try. Although I forgot to read previous reviews. We ordered a meat lovers pizza, pepperoni pizza, small salad & an order of half ravioli & half lasagna. The salad was ok. The pizza was good, it had meatballs, sausage, pepperoni & Canadian bacon, except it was a bit messy as a blanket of cheese covered it. When you grabbed a slice, all the cheese & meat would pull off. The crust was crunchy. The lasagna was tasty, the ravioli a bit chewy & the meat sauce that covered both had a bitter taste- as if it had been burned. Our pizza was made fresh & our wait time was about 15 minutes. It was empty when we arrived but within minutes, 3 other groups came in. Their wait time was about the same. I know we won't return because it's off the main grid & if we did I would only order pizza. The guy that took our order seemed a bit shy- but he did check on us several times to see if we needed anything. read more

Ordered a large half cheese and pepperoni for my kids. Was pleasantly surprised. The dough was delicious -not too thick and not too thin with a nice crispy rustic edge. Plenty of cheese on it. Was over all delicious. Sauce they use was good as well. I could tell cheese was excellent quality. I would definitely be a repeat customer if I wasn't just visiting here. Try this out. Also customer service was good . We got there near closing time and the gentleman that helped me was older and had glasses. May have been owner, I thought I was going to get that we are closing etc you have to order or go. But he said I could have ordered when he was closed and he would not turn anyone away. Very good service -most places want you to order to go once they are closing. Especially on a Sunday night. read more

Adriano's pizza crust is one of the best I've ever had. It's not your typical Pizza Hut or Domino's crust. It's like a thick, crispy, chewy flat bread. I'm not usually a fan of cold pizza, but their stuff tastes good the next day, straight out of the refrigerator. I tried their Caesar salad last time, and it was also delicious. I love how everything tastes so fresh. That's because everything is made fresh - you can watch them make it while you wait. Hands down, this is the best place to eat in the entire outlet/casino area. They have some really fabulous daily specials. read more

(This review is for the pizza only - I haven't tried anything else). I'm probably to least picky person in the world when it comes to pizza - I'll eat just about any kind and be happy. But I won't go out of my way to go to Adriano's ever again, and I have no idea why it has so many stars. Drove here in the rain to get a pizza because of all the good reviews. I found it was subpar at best. Usually I love thick pizza bread, but this bread was doughy to the point of being inedible. The cheese wasn't great either - the consistency was rubbery. Skip it! read more

Huge servings, friendly service, and good prices for good food. What more could you ask for? Well, better parking for one, but that's an issue for the tribe to deal with. I grew up in ann Italian neighborhood and the lasagna and ravioli remind me of Mama Venigoni's dishes. Well worth stopping by. read more
