Caffe Calabria roasts its own coffee. The coffee is excellent. I had the Viennese which contains espresso, steamed milk, honey and cinnamon. My husband ordered a salsiccia pizza which is made napoletan style with a thin crust in their authentic Italian oven. They also have a good selection of beers and cider. The service is quick. The place is casual. read more

New ownership has absolutely ruined this place. Prices went up overnight while quality went down. Most of the longtime staff are gone, morale is clearly in the gutter, and the place feels nothing like it used to. Service has suffered, cleanliness has slipped, and the whole operation feels neglected. Forcing Crafted Coupe out was the final straw and dumbest decision. It was one of the best hidden cocktail spots in San Diego and a huge part of what made this place special. Honestly, it's impressive how quickly they managed to damage the reputation of a business that took years to build. A masterclass in how to buy a beloved local spot and run it into the ground in under six months. read more

I know that North Park is full of Taco & Pizza shops - the competition is super stiff. That being said - holy crud can they make a pie. And the old school pizza oven way with the wood fire in the corner. Was going to take a photo of my Fungi with Sausage - but we all plowed through it within minutes. Also got to meet the new owner - super friendly. And already I can see an improvement! read more

Coffee is on point, no complaints there. Service was great and easy .The place was huge and they even service alcohol and pizzas. The only complaint was the pistachio croissant . It wasn't flaky and soft like it should be. It was rather hard and kind of burnt which leads be to believe that the croissants are not fresh and maybe a few days old (see pic). However I will be back to try the other coffee flavors and food items read more

This place used to make the best pizzas in San Diego. Unfortunately under new ownership, it went from a 10/10 to a 5/10. Pizza dough and toppings have completely changed. It is basically just slightly better than Blaze Pizza now. But i'm not paying these prices for something of this quality. I won't be returning, Compare recent pictures to the ones from last year, and you will see the difference. Former Calabria, you will be missed. read more

We had no idea Caffe Calabria had changed ownership, but as soon as our pizza arrived, it was obvious something had changed. The pizza looked nothing like it used to, and the taste was just as disappointing. This was once one of our favorite pizza places, and we visited regularly. Unfortunately, the quality we loved is gone, and we won't be coming back. :/ read more

Pizza was still good this time although we noticed more oil pools on the pizza this time around. We tried their carbonara pizza and have to say that we prefer their tomato sauce pizzas much more because the acid gives the pizza more interesting flavor; carbonara pizza felt "flat" and one dimensional in terms of flavor. Their pizzas are $13 all day Wednesday and Thursday, so if you are thinking about trying this place out, I suggest coming for this promotion. read more

Wifey has been wanting to try their Coffee here. Bought her here and let her order for me too. We just had a Raspberry scone, affogato and Cafe Latte to try. Everything was great and the Cafe latte was amazingly good. Staff are all friendly, cute decor near the Bathroom, lots of Tea Cups in the hallway towards the bathroom. Wifey texted me a photo of a women's bathroom that even inside there's a wall of Tea/coffee cups as a display. Side street parking and more in the back of this Cafe. read more

I've been to this place a few times and really love their coffee. The latte is consistently delicious, and the staff is always friendly. The menu looks great, though I haven't tried the food yet. They have several outdoor tables with a chill, low-key vibe, along with some indoor seating. It's definitely one of my go-to spots for working and studying. read more

Okay, I'll start by saying this is probably one of the best margherita pizzas I've had. Definitely rivals some of the best Italian places in the San Diego. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because we waited 50 mins for 1 pizza. I get it - it was busy during the World Cup, but the guy said 20-30 min wait. If he had been honest about the wait time, we probably would've come back another day. Good pizza tho. read more

This is a really nice place. Pizza is really good. A lot lighter than what I'm used to. You get more of the flavor of the ingredients since the crust etc. is thin which is nice. Very good quality. I also had the chai latte here which can be spiced or vanilla, it was really good! The less sweeter one is the spiced. They have a good amount of seating and that includes outside. The staff and service was good. It's in a nice area. Parking can be a little challenging but it is North Park. But they have a small garage you can park in, in the alley which is free if your walking along the stores on that block. Which was right where Calabria was at so that was great!. I will definitely come back. read more

Came in on a Friday night and the ambience was chill with good vibes. Ordered a magherita DOC pizza and killed it by myself. Nice light crust and toppings. Cheese was the best part. Would order again. read more

Super chill spot with great service. They have really good specials during the middle of the week. I was surprised that it wasn't packed when we came. Negronis were made well. $8 Carbonara pizza hit the spot. $5 off Would order both of these again. Cute vibes for any type of social gathering or just venturing out solo. read more

Unfortunately this place has sold and the new owners decided not to keep the week day happy hours and they are gone, all the prices have been raised and changed everything about this place. What used to be a very busy local favorite is now collapsing and dead. The pizza has gone down hill with cheap ingredients. The cheese didn't even melt on the pizza that we ordered. Won't be coming back read more

No, it's not the same pizza anymore since the new ownership. We've been going here for years, it used to be one of the best Italian pizzas in town. Last night we got our usuals and it was really bad. It was dry, the dough was off, and it doesn't taste like the same ingredients at all. They also added a bunch of spices for no reason, like just to cover up how bad it is now. So disappointing, honestly. read more

My wife and I ended our trip to Albany at Caffe Calabria after a rough experience elsewhere, and it was exactly what we needed. We have been back several times and it never disappoints. The dining room is warm and inviting, staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and there's comfortable spacing between tables. We started with the fried calamari - the calamari can be enough for two - and meatballs. For those of you dining in a group of four, take notice, sadly, only three meat balls are served as an appetizer. As entrees my wife had the chicken marsala served over linguini, and I stuck with my go-to, the veal cutlet parmigiana: a breaded veal cutlet covered in marinara and melted cheese on a bed of mal tagliati. Both were excellent. Our pasta was al dente and the cutlets were delectable. We finished with a generous slice of carrot cake and cappuccinos. A quick tip: make a reservation and try to arrive early -- parking can be a challenge. Highly recommended. If you like this review or the pictures, please do not forget to post a comment. read more

Ordered two pizzas for pick up with their $13 neoplitan pizza deal. Really just a great deal for amazing pizza. Love how easy it was to call and pick up. Usually come here for drinks with friends and food, but knowing they have to go orders is great. Being able to get a drink and watch an nba game while you wait is really nice too. read more

We saw this place called CAFFE CALABRIA after dining in one of the restaurants nearby. I told my husband I wanted to grab something small and sweet to eat. Upon entering, I saw a Big Pizza Oven, but we were still so full from the restaurant nearby, so we turned our attention to the right side upon entering and we saw bunch of pastries and sandwiches and a listing of their hot drinks. I decided to go with their: * LATTE *RASPBERRY ALMOND SCONES *AFFOGATO I love their LATTE, it smells so good and it's one of the most delicious Lattes I've had. I would come again and again for their coffee here whenever I am in the area. Their AFFOGATO was delicious too. I have had affogato somewhere before, and usually I would only finish one, but I believe I could eat more affogato here. Their RASPBERRY ALMOND SCONES were so good too, fresh and not overly sweet. Next time we will try their Pizza here, but their coffee here is the one I can say that I can recommend that it's really good. While you're there don't forget to check out their Big Coffee Roaster, you won't get near it, but it's nice to see fresh coffee in the making. Also, don't forget to check out their cute wall of Coffee cups near the restroom area, Even inside their Bathroom there's a wall of different coffee cups on display, It's kind of odd for me to see a wall of cups while in the bathroom, but it's a cute display. The Staff are friendly and the place is clean with a delightful smell and delicious taste of their coffee!!! read more

The pizzas were definitely a shareable size, not that you have to lol I was impressed at how quick everything came out. The service was great and the vibes were amazing. Open seating from front to back, 2 bars, a patio and a speakeasy in the works (so it seemed lol). A very unique space. read more

This place was FILTHY! The tables are chairs were soooo dirty. We wiped the table we sat at because none of them were cleaned (even though the place was pretty empty and not busy at all) and the wet wipe was BLACK on both sides. The tables were also sticky and just gross vibes right off the bat. The coffee and pastries were ok. The pastries didn't look appetizing at all. The pistachio croissant was deflated and the fruits on the fruit tart were wilted. The taste was better than the appearance, but the unclean tables and chairs on top of the unappetizing appearance of the pastries makes this place not returnable for us. I am reading here that the place recently changed ownership and has gone downhill since. It makes sense now, because i couldn't make out how this place has such high reviews. It needs to close down as there are much MUCH better places all over North Park. This one is an easy skip. read more

Caffe Calabria has some great sandwiches and little bites. I need to come back to try the pizza. The inside is chic and reminded me of an Italian kitchen and cafe. Our main issue is where we were seated, the music was shifting between uncomfortably loud and quiet. When we told the staff about the music issues, we were simply told that the owner was testing out the speakers. However, these volume issues lasted for over 30 minutes until we left. We would appreciate it if trying things like speakers were left for outside business hours. read more

I was there when they built the pizza oven years ago. The guy who built it was telling me how he traveled Italy and spoke to all the Italians who have been building pizza ovens for generations to learn from them. Maybe my expectations were built too high but for a brick pizza oven I expect a little crispier crust. The pizzas are gourmet. No pepperoni here more like prosciutto. Good pizzas just disappointed in the crust. The coffees are great. And I love the decor with the amazing collection of demitasse cups read more

This place is big and you will find them not only serving coffee but pizza and drinks (bar). It has a charm to it, maybe because years ago it used to be a bank. Yes, they have saved the Safe. Service was okay, and ambiance too. We sat outside enjoying great capuchinos. Outside is just that, outside. It doesn't have a great charm, just ok. Inside it seemed that they had at least 3 ambiance's. Still work in progress, but promising. If you are in the area, don't hesitate to try them out. Let us know your thoughts. Happy coffee time! read more

Caffe Calabria is authentic as it gets with its amazing selection of coffee, pizzas and Italian cocktails. Located in North Park, Caffe Calabria is an excellent cafe with roasting machines on site, a large wood fired oven and a long service bar for hot drinks, food and cocktails. Seating is plentiful with both indoor and outdoors. For starters we ordered Happy Hour cocktails consisting of an Aperol Spritz and Vodka Collins along with the Insulate Caprese. The heirloom tomatoes were fresh and the burrata was a creamy goodness. The pizza at Caffe Calabria is excellent. It's Neapolitan style cooked in a wood fired oven. The soft chewy dough has a taste like no other coupled with the San Marzano tomato sauce and mozzarella fior di latte makes it super authentic. The pizzas we ordered were the Margherita D.O.C. and Prosciutto. The Mozzarella di Buffala on the Margherita D.O.C. is so fresh and creamy. Pizza is served Monday - Tuesday 11AM-2:30 PM, Wednesday - Sunday 11AM - 10PM. I highly suggest coming here on Wednesday or Thursday as they have a fantastic Happy Hour with discounts on drinks and pizza. Great staff and the service was excellent. read more

I came in with coffee from a different place, but they didn't kick me out (unlike other places--but understandably so). I ordered one of their paninis and they pressed it for me. It was so cute and only $2.50 for one which is pretty reasonable in my opinion. It had some delicious Calabrese salami and herbs on top. They have ample seatings inside and out. They do not accept cash, card only! read more

Italian coffee is the best, this place proves it!! My cappuccino was perfect and my friend's mocha smooth and rich. I'm not one as much for iced coffee but their iced latte was spectacular and not at all watered down. The ambiance of the caffe is chill and they have a coffee bar. I saw people working but there are no laptops after 3pm! After then, I assume customers enjoy their pizza. Can't wait to return, and next time I'll have my drink at the cafe so I can enjoy the coffee in a cup and saucer :) read more

We were wandering around North Park, and thought about going here for a pizza. The outside was a little questionable because we weren't sure who was sitting where, and then this guy says, "You can take her in, it's okay." Cako went over to him and she let him pet her so we went in and took a corner table in front. The staff is really friendly! We ordered a Caprese salad and a Diavola pizza. We also had three glasses of wine. The inside has changed and it looks like the roasting room is now a dining area. The back used to be retail, but it's now a lounging place that might be for members only, but don't quote me. The only thing I didn't care for was that we had to order and pay for food from one worker, and then do drinks with another with a separate check. But other than that, it was really pleasant and a nice way to get reacquainted with Calabria! We promise not to stay away so long! Cako Approves!
