Caliano pizza - Mushroom/Cheese + Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Chula Vista, California

My Italian wife said this is the type of pizza that makes you dance after the first bite... she wasn't lying. Pizza was way bigger than we thought, which is never a bad thing. Crispy, loaded, and tasted fantastic. Every slice was hitting. We'll be back for sure. read more

Fresh back from NY, I had to re-visit this spot. Chopped cheese is bomb-tastic..just like you get on the streets back East.. the slice is also super yummy- hot and fresh we were the first customers today. Last time I brought home a burger for my son and he still talks about it months later. A down south gem- don't sleep on this CV neighborhood place. read more

The pizza was decent, but the service left a really bad taste in my mouth. I asked to have the Padres game put on the TV, and the staff member (who appeared to be a manager or supervisor, as he was giving instructions to another employee) basically told me that San Diego sports aren't allowed in the restaurant. As a lifelong San Diegan, that response was disappointing and frankly insulting. This is our home team in our city. It's not a big ask to catch the game while eating. Because of this interaction, I won't be returning. read more

I have been eyeballing this pizza place for awhile! It did not disappoint. This pizza was the cheesiest, the most juiciest, flavorful pizza Ive tried in a long time. I love pizza and will drive all over town for the right kind of pizza. No fake stuff real authentic pizza sauce for us. This place is the real deal. The service was also spectacular. So friendly!! Hubby wanted a beer off tap after work it just hit the spot. Happy to say we will be back. That white pizza caught my eye. read more

The best pizza in Chula Vista! I've never been dissatisfied when I come here. Chopped cheese sub, meatball sub and the chicken parm sub, so so good! read more

This is what one of my favorite pizza spots in the area! Caliano's Pizza consistently delivers delicious, high-quality pizza. The crust is thin and crispy and you can really taste the difference in the fresh, quality ingredients they use. The service is always friendly and efficient. The staff is welcoming, and they always get our order right. It's a small, cozy shop with a warm and inviting atmosphere. They offer both whole pizzas and pizza by the slice, which is perfect when you just want a quick bite. If you're in the area, I highly recommend Caliano's! read more

I've known and drove by this place dozens of times and finally tried them out. It is located in a tiny strip mall maybe only four businesses. Caliano was at the end. Outside the had a couple picnic tables and maybe inside for about 20 guest with a number of tables a couple tvs and a corner section with a couple Video game consoles. Simple and clean. They greeted my son and I when we entered and took our order quickly at the counter. We ordered the double cheese smashed burger, a cheese steak sandwich and an all meat pizza. My Don really loved the burger and it was smashed even the bun, lol. The cheese steak sandwich was great. Lots of meat and very balanced flavors. After we ate these we also started working on the pizza. It was alot for us and we ended up having left over pizza for the next day. The pizza was a New York style pizza and tasted like one as well. The prices were reasonable, service was fantastic and the food I would definitely go back! read more

Do not let the site fool you. Just a pizza place in a strip mall, pizza is available in a full pie or by the slice. Prices are reasonable if you are looking for fancy look elsewhere but if you just want good pizza this is the place. read more

Found a metal bristle while eating a slice of pizza. Called to ask if they use a metal brush and was told they do use to clean the oven. Asked to speak to a manager but none was available. Employee on phone did not offer to remedy or refund. Asked him to please let kitchen staff know the risk this poses. Eat at your own risk. read more

Great food and wonderful beer what more do you need? Tastes that will make you eat that extra slice when you know you're full

I love the new items listed! Never tired of trying something new on the menu! As always ICE cold beer served in the coldest mugs out there! Adding New big TVs was a great super addition ... took friends watched the Olympics and had a great time as a group! read more

We got home and noticed the pizza was kinda burnt on the edges but decided to give it a try anyway. First bite and it tasted burnt/bitter. We looked at the bottom of multiple slices and they were all burnt and black. It was inedible. The top part with the cheese and sausage was good but the burnt taste was just too overpowering. We called them to let them know and the guy on the phone asked who the order was for and said "my coworker didn't think it was too burnt". Then he said they can remake it but in an hour because they were very busy. We were already about to arrive so we told them we were coming back right now. We got there and there's only 2 customers in the restaurant. The big guy with the glasses gives attitude right away, takes the pizza and inspects it and says "That's too burnt for you?" We say yes we can't eat it, doesn't taste good. Then we ask for it to be remade and he says it would take like 30-40 minutes to remake or he can give us a refund. We ask for a refund and my bf is telling him it's just not edible and he takes the pizza, goes to the back, and we see him throw it to the side where he wasn't visible anymore and it and it sounded like he punched it a few times. I was honestly kind of scared. I'm sad we had a bad experience because we love supporting small businesses but this was just so unprofessional and weird; he could've handled it differently, he could've gained business and a positive review. read more

Caliano pizza - Burnt pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chula Vista, California

It has a good taste , but in my opinion they need to add just a bit more cheese. I think it would make a huge difference. I know I could of asked for extra cheese but it was our 1st time getting it there. We use to get our pizza from filippi's pizza but there pizza recently doesn't taste the same so we are looking for a new go to place? read more

Loved this pizza. I just left the East coast and was looking for some pizza that came close to that NYC flavor and Camino pizza hit the spot. I love the flavor of the sauce which really makes the pizza. The pepperoni and sausage is really good. The slices are huge similar the NY style pizza. This is my new pizza spot. read more

Caliano pizza - Jalapeño Pizza and Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've noticed when I order a whole pie, the middle comes out...soggy/not firm. When I order a slice, it tastes much better. Came in last week, termites crawling on walls and counter, smaller bugs crawling on tables. Despite being grossed out by the bugs, still ordered pizza to go, cuz it's the best tasting pizza in Chula Vista, and took a shower immediately after. read more

Great pizza spot, craft beer, friendly staff and Great pizza. I'll be back next time we're in Chula Vista.

I've passed by this spot so many times coming from Olympic Pkwy and from Main Street. And today was my very first visit to Caliano's. It's a small spot in a mini shopping plaza, but this is like a hidden gem. I am not disappointed at all. I had ordered the Meatball and Provolone pie and it was fantastic. Bit of a wait, but only because the person ahead of me had like 5 pies waiting to bake. Very understandable. But it also told me this place had to be good. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Pizza was yummy but i wouldn't exactly call it ny style. There's a certain way that the dough should fold and how the cheese should be. I enjoyed my slice but would not compare it to a slice. I was also intrigued to see chop cheese on their menu. Decided to try it. It was also good but was it was definitely missing a certain taste. They also added banana peppers, i didnt care for that. All in all, i did enjoy the food but would not compare to our friends in the east coast There are a couple of tables inside and lots of free parking. The staff was friendly as well. read more

I went in today to get a pizza, ordered it and had a slice while i was waiting, finished the slice i got and waited 10 more minutes after the fact and they hadn't even started making my whole pizza yet. I had to remind them of my order and that's when they started to finally make it. When the pizza was done they offered something on the house the next time i come back or to waiting more additional time to compensate for the hour that i basically already waited. Absolute worst customer service i've ever experienced and i will not be returning nor recommending this place to anyone. Pizzas is subpar anyways. read more

If someone ever told me that my favorite thing at a pizza place would be their burgers, I'd call them crazy. But man, this is the spot. I haven't had many smash burger style burgers before, so my experience is limited, but in my opinion Caliano Pizza has perfected the craft. Bun is perfect, the patty is smashed to crispy goodness, the cheese I usually opt for the deluxe burger as I enjoy the lettuce and tomatoes. We usually have them there, so I can't speak on whether or not the Patties will remain crispy if you take them home. The pizzas are good. New York style. Probably my favorite pizza spot in Chula Vista, though I'm still exploring the area. They also do pizzas by the slice if you want to fill your craving without committing to a whole pizza. My go to is the meat & co. The little shopping center isn't too busy, so I've never had issues with parking. They do have a lobby/seating area, but it's not huge, so I'm not sure how it would work for large parties. Just some 2 or 4 person tables. Service is good, no complaints from me there. read more

I was in the area for work and decided to give this place a try. The inside is clean, neat, and welcoming. The staff greeted me right away and made me feel comfortable. I ordered a chopped cheese, and the wait time wasn't bad at all. When I picked up my order, they told me to have a good day, which was a nice touch. The chopped cheese itself was excellent, well cooked, perfectly seasoned, the bun toasted just right, veggies fresh and colorful, and the cheese melted perfectly. Even the togo box was packed neatly, and the sandwich presentation was on point. I live about two hours away, but if I were closer, I'd definitely be a regular. Highly recommend giving this spot a try! read more

Perfect NY Style hidden gem in a small Chula Vista strip mall. You would drive past this place a millions times before ever seeing the small sign in the corner. Easy to find using Google. Pizza dough was awesome, thin crispy lite flavorful ("no flop"). I loved it. Service was also friendly and quick. It's about $25 avg a pie and slices are $3.50-4.00. Small seating area inside with a couple TVs playing sports. They also have some beers on tap. read more

We finally got around to trying out Caliano Pizza. We had heard great things about this place so we were happy to finally experience it ourselves. We had the chicken parm sandwich, chopped cheese sandwich, cheeseburger and slice of cheese pizza. Everything was tasty. The sandwiches were enough to feed 2. Very big portions. The employees were so friendly and food prepared and sent out quickly. Will be back again. read more

2 stars and not 1 because the pizza & chopped cheese is so good. BUT, the customer service? HORRIBLE. It's happened twice already where they forgot our order. We called in one pizza. The guy had us repeat our name and our order multiple times. Then said "let me check how long it'll be" and said 30 minutes. Perfect. We get there & THEY FORGOT OUR ORDER. How?? All they said was "sorry" and we're going to put the pizza in, so another 20 minutes to sit and wait there. The first time, the guy seemed high or something, but definitely out of it. The second time we have no clue how they forgot to put our pizza in... but the customer service lacks at this place. The food is good but it's a risk if your order was placed or not when you call ahead of time. read more

We dropped by today at Caliano pizza. We ordered a whole pepperoni pizza and chopped cheese sandwich. The chopped cheese was good. A little bit salty and greasy. They should have put bell peppers. In it was fried ground beef, a slice tomato (they could've put more) , no chopped onions shredded lettuce and jarred chopped pepperoncini peppers. No sauce either on the sandwich. Please don't be shy in putting more condiments in a sandwich. I'm not going to order this again. I only wanted to try because I saw yelpers are saying it was deliciously good. I should've ordered philly cheesesteak instead. The pepperoni pizza was delicious but salty. read more

Parking: small-medium sized parking lot with a few businesses sharing it. Service: the service very friendly and helpful. Food came out right away. Food: my wife and I don't have to drive far for some quality pizza anymore. The pizza here is delicious. Crispy underneath and cheese was hot and gooey. We tried the mushroom ricotta and pepperoni pizza. Both were incredible. The pepperoni was slightly crispy which made it even better. This place isn't only for pizzas though. The cheeseburger was incredible too. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

Had to check out this hidden gem on Brandywine. And I was not disappointed. I ordered a simple cheese pizza for my little ones. It was simple but a great measure of how their pizzas are. Crust was crisp and thin, the cheese and sauce were flavorful. It's what a great pizza should be. I heard good things about their sandwiches and other pizzas. Definitely gonna come back and try those too. Service was great. Friendly and straight forward. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a New York pizzeria. Brick wall accents with a couple tv's. Clean and simple. Overall, a great local spot. I'm looking forward to trying the Philly cheesesteak and other pizzas. read more

Excellent!! Excellent!! Service, and especially food! I was so impressed and surprised that we stumbled upon this great place in a neighborhood on Brandywine Ave. in Chula Vista. The pizzas are either by slice or whole and are HUGE! I'm in love with the mushroom with ricotta cheese pizza!!! Already had it twice in past few weeks. Absolutely delicious with that creamy ricotta.
