I took a gamble and randomly ordered delivery from Catalano's Pizzeria. What drew me to this place? Well, price and solid reviews. A stacked 3 topping calzone for $14 and 6 wings for $9, come on. You may ask, but did it taste good? For the price, yeah! Would you order again, yes! Calzone crust was crispy with a fluffy bready texture. Loaded with my choices of meatballs, green peppers and onions, it was really good. As good as say Pizzeria Luigi? No, totally different style. I would argue that their red sauce is very similar, slightly sweet and delicious. The wings were large and meaty slathered with so much delicious buffalo sauce. They came with a side of ranch which worked for both the wings and the calzone. Next time I'll try out their bbq wings for something a little different. Catalano's really hits the marks with price and quality. Also, they make Mexican style toppings like beans, asada, and chorizo. So next time I'll go the less traditional route and experience something new. read more

Solid local spot on Imperial Ave. I mainly come for the pizza--always fresh, good crust, and hits the spot every time. They've also got sandwiches, burritos, wings, and other options if you want to switch it up. What I like most is the convenience and the deals on the TooGoodToGo app--makes it even more worth it when you catch a good drop. Overall, reliable go-to for a quick, satisfying meal. read more

Stopped by late night while staying in San Diego for a weekend, after a swim when we got hungry started looking around for open pizza places local to us & Catalano's was one of the few places still open for pickup, which we appreciated. The pizza itself was decent, nothing amazing but it hit the spot in the moment. The salad was not bad but it was just a plain salad. Unfortunately, it didn't sit well with us and we all had upset stomachs the next day... like 5 of us not just a couple of us... :( Overall, convenient for a late-night option, but not something we'd go out of our way for again if we stay at the same air bnb. read more

Pepperoni Pizza was just average, nothing special about crust or toppings. Not bad and not great. read more

Catalano's Pizzeria - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

I was in the area and needed a late lunch. I saw them on Too Good To Go and saw good reviews so decided to try it. I got a pizza which looked like it's probably their 12" (if it's their personal size then it was huge) and a sub sandwich. Both came out warm. A really good value. Food was good but not wow worthy but good. Pizza dough was thick and filling. Sandwich was also filled with a generous amount of meat and enough for 2 meals. I probably won't go again but worth trying. Nothing was bad. Easy to find parking but no place to sit and eat so I had to eat in my car. read more

Catalano's Pizzeria - Menu - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

Customer service was good. Place is very small and no place to eat. Parking is a bit tough and it's a rough neighborhood. I got a cheese pizza, carne asada burrito, and the star of it all was the Italian sub! I want to bo back just to order that! Also another hone table note is that the pizza crust was really good. read more

You can tell this place takes pride in their food. Great prices and service! Only gave 4 stars cause I wish the cheese was just melted more so it wasn't quite perfect. But I will definitely come back and maybe change it to 5 stars! read more

Catalano's Pizzeria is a solid spot, especially if you're looking to save some cash through TooGoodToGo. I've ordered two "Surprise Bags" and got a generous haul: One tuna sub, a personal-sized pepperoni pizza, and two servings of spaghetti with meatballs. The value for what you pay is honestly impressive, and it stretches for a few meals. In my honest opinion, I think the food is decent. They have good flavor, but nothing mind-blowing. That said, I've been spoiled by top-tier, authentic Italian in NYC and even had the chance to try the real deal in Italy during my study abroad. I didn't eat the pizza though because, as a proud Brooklynite, I'm pretty particular about my pizza, so I ended up giving it to a homeless person near the restaurant. If I were ordering straight from the menu as a regular customer, it'd be a solid 3 stars. It was satisfying enough to fill my stomach, but not exactly something to rave about. The location isn't in the greatest area, but they're on the corner of an intersection where it's visible enough that you don't have to stress too much about safety. The real standout is the staff. They're super friendly while having fun listening to music while they work, and the owner clearly cares about both the surrounding community and promoting the importance of reducing food waste. Selling surplus food at such a fair price shows a lot of generosity, and I respect that. If you're looking for an affordable Italian spot that'll fill you up while supporting a business that genuinely cares about its community, Catalano's is worth checking out. read more

First of all, it took me 20 minutes to drive around the entire block to find parking close to this place! Beware of the parking situation. Houses around are sketchy. That's no seating inside or out. It is take out only. Service was amazing! Prices are high, but they have specials and their lunch special for $10 can't be beat. I got a small pepperoni pizza and small pepperoni / sausage pizza. They cooked it in 10 minutes. I had to have a slice on the way to my car. It was steaming hot. The cheese pull on this thing was out of this world! The crust was the best I've ever had! It was airy. I would come back for the crust, even with the horrible parking situation. read more

If you're looking for a sub sandwich look no further. I ordered the meatball sub, it was great, cheaper than subway and free delivery (with minimum) also got a Philly Cheese Steak sub, again outstanding sandwich. Those two sandwiches made the minimum so delivery, limited area, was free. Make sure to tip your delivery driver well, we want to keep this service going! read more

This place rocks! I've always gotten lunch sandwiches and calzones here and they have never disappointed. Last week, I had them deliver a full pan of lasagna and pizza's for a birthday party. The delivery was spot on time, the food was delicious, especially the lasagna, and they threw in some really good dinner rolls. I've never had bad service from their friendly employees. I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

The food is amazing, serving sizes are a plus and everything is delicious, as well the service. They're very friendly

I have come to Catalano's a few times thanks to the TooGoodToGo app. The service is what makes being here a reason to support. Sometimes they are busy but when not they are very nice people. The owner or staff are very nice people. It is far from where I stay so I don't come much but it's worth the visit thank you for the value of the order and I recommend it. read more

At my place of employment we order delivery from here very often. The pizza dough is very tasty and good portions with plenty of toppings. Their lasagna is also good and the sauce is tasty and not overwhelming of the pasta noodles. The Buffalo wings (bone in) are all of our favorites. We always include an order of 12 in any of our orders and share everything. Delivery usually takes about 20-30 minutes on non busy days as the store is located near downtown. Food arrives still hot. read more

Their pizza is so delicious. I'm not from SD but while I'm staying here I like to explore a few pizza places. Definitely going to be coming here now. read more

$17 cash for medium size meat lover pizza, thin crust, no cheese, marinara sauce, ham, pepperoni and sausage. Not bad, the dough very fresh and stay true to the thickness you required. 3 stars for the location, hard to find parking, sketchy area 3 stars for not able to take regular EBT snap, used to accept EBT cash aid, but system no longer works until further notice. Not sure when the kitchen handle your food, they supposed to wear gloves or not, because I caught one of the employee used her bare hands to grab a chunk of sausages and sprinkled it on my pizza. Yet I ate it and seemed fine, still I prefer the hygiene for this place. Finally I think ordering online would be faster, it takes longer for them to heat your pizza if you ordered in store. According to all the Yelp signage, I guess they have been recognized for their quality of food, but if they can fix everything else, including their customer service, it could be a perfect pizza place. read more

Some of the best pizza ever. Only came across it from a menu left on my door. Such great prices too - hard to find affordable pizza around San Diego now. Wings are 10/10 as well. Will definitely be a regular! read more

Catalano's Pizzeria - Large 16' Pepperoni, only $10.99 for pick up - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

I received these coupons at the hotel I was staying at and decided to call and make a phone order. The paper said, I could receive free delivery if I spent more than $22. The lady that answered the phone. I let her know I had a coupon and I wanted to use it and what the special number 5. Which it came with 2 large pizzas with three toppings, 2 free 1 Liter sodas for 34.99 plus tax. She responded to me that she would charge me 37.99. I told her well that's not what the coupon said and she just passed the phone to someone else who was a man. He answered the phone like it was my first time calling. I placed my order. I asked for one pizza with pepperoni and sausage the other white sauce with mushrooms and sausage. The man told me what type of sodas I could choose from and I chose Coke. I had to leave my room and when the pizza came one of my pizzas did not have white sauce, like requested and they did not provide any sodas. Luckily, I had water in my room, but who wants to have pizza and water! In the future when I come back out here, I most likely will try somewhere else. read more

Lasagna was really good. The salad looks good and the bread is wonderful. We're staying in a hotel and they deliver here at old town. All the food was well above average and for delivery in a hotel it was great. The only problem was they forgot to give us napkins and they only gave us one for. Luckily I love my wife so I gave her the fork first. And it says all dinners include salad and bread. We got the salad. I bought the bread so they didn't give us the extra bread but that's OK. There was way too much food for a hotel delivery type thing. This was well worth it. read more

Surprisingly delicious! My expectations were honestly not too high but it was really inexpensive and very delicious. Extra kudos to the female delivery driver to went out of her way to find me, as they can't deliver onto a military post and me not being from the area made getting the actual pie comically difficult. If it's any consolation, I am from the northeast and ridiculously picky about pizza. read more

My work was ordering and I'd never had it, so I got a whole meatball sub. I didn't know it would be two sandwiches! I ate one and gave the rest to a coworker. It was very filling and tasty but the bread did get super soggy (which I hate). We also ordered pizzas and a calzone. Everyone was satisfied with plenty of left overs to take home. I'd def order from here again. read more

If you're ever in the area Catalano's pizzeria is a little hole in the wall with amazing pizza that does not compare. People are very humble and quiet but very friendly. The pizza looks quite regular but special nonetheless!! Can't recommend it enough!! read more

Catalano's Pizzería is simply amazing! Every slice always hits the spot. Despite being lactose intolerant, I can't resist indulging because it's worth every single bite. The crust is perfectly crispy, the sauce has that delicious homemade taste, and the toppings are always fresh and generous. Their pizza has that perfect balance of flavors, and you can taste the quality in every slice. I've tried a lot of pizza places, but Catalano's is on another level. If you're looking for that "wow" factor in every bite, this is the place. read more

My usual go to pizza place has been closed for covid. It's been 40 days since my last slice and I just couldn't last another day. I broke down after a terrible day at work and ordered from the first place that delivered. The delivery was fast, no more than half an hour. Price was great, $9 per 16" one topping pizza. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was just sad. Husband hit the nail on the head when he called it cafeteria pizza. The dough was bready and had no chew or substance. The sauce on the mushroom pie was weirdly sweet. The pepperoni was lying in a layer of oil, but at least the sauce wasn't sweet and the cheese pull was pretty impressive. Why in the world are the slices cut so small?! I couldn't hold up a single slice by the "fold method" and seriously contemplated the blasphemy of eating pizza with knife and fork. Instead I folded one slice on top of another, and just dealt with the toppings trying to escape every which way. I'll give half star for the cheese, half for the quick service, and one star for staying open during lockdown. But I don't think I'll come back for seconds. read more

Ordered delivery for my crew at work. Delivery was fast and friendly. Today I ordere their special #5 two large 3 topping pizzas, 2 ltr. Coke for 27.99 added 12 pc of Buffalo Wings for an extra $11.99. Pizza was very tasty and delicious. The crust was flakey and light and not rubbery at all. The Buffalo Wings were also tasty and delicious. They include Ranch Dipping Sauce, Cheese, Red Pepper and Paper Plates free of charge. My entire crew loved it. We will definitely be back to order more pizza. read more

Ordered delivery from this place was quoted 45 min, pizza got to me in under 30min. I've worked in several reputable pizza shops over the years to know that a fully cooked pizza takes anywhere from 15-20min to cook. One, the buffalo chicken pizza which was ok, besides the fact that they refused to make it how I requested it(with ranch drizzled in top) once pizza is out the oven . They told me they can put it on the side . Which really made no difference, (2) 1oz salsa cups for a large pizza? The second pizza , their supreme pizza almost looked good till I tried taking a bite and noticed all the toppings fell right off , that's when I noticed the dough on that pizza was far from being cooked . So I gave them a call back and requested a refund. Save your time and money, not worth the headache. read more

We ordered pizzas for a work party.. completely impressed ! The pizzas tasted great and they were able to have our order ready before the desired time--. Bonus ..... The right mix of cheese and topping and sauce:) And the crust- my favorite part - was well cooked and not over done .... We will definitely consider them for our next lunch party :) read more

4 stars because it is a mom and pop but probably won't order pizza here again. The dough felt strange, soda-y, didn't really sit well with me. read more
