    What a find! You would think this hidden pizza location was part of the church, cup a cultural center or pala youth center but it's not! Customer Service was beyond courteous! The person taking our order was detailed and explained what their menu had to offer. Not your typical thin crust pizza! You actually get a decent crust! If you want great service and great pizza while near or at pala, make sure you hit up Dj Pizza! You won't disappoint!

    I've been driving past DJ's Express Pizza for the last 10 years and finally decided to give it a try today -- and I'm so glad I did! I was initially skeptical, but the pizza blew me away. The crust is unlike any other pizza I've had before -- really unique and delicious. Honestly, what took me so long to try it? I went with the pepperoni and ham pizza, and it was honestly the best pizza I've tried all year! If you're in the Pala area, I highly recommend stopping by. ‍ Definitely a new favorite for me now!

    Love it the pizza was very good The young man that took are order was very friendly and polite. Waited for 20m for our food (fresh and hot). He even brought it to our car.

    Huge & delicious calzone. Hit the spot! 2 of us were full.

    Good service. The cheese & pep calzone was delicious & filled us up. It's a small trailer just a couple minutes away from Pala. A great find.

    1st time here. Prices are right. Good service.

    Checking places close to Pala, I stumbled across the ratings for Dj's. 5 stars? Really?? Are you sure??? Well wadda you know, they make a really good pizza for an excellent price. Even the personal size was loaded with cheese and a generous portion of sausage. The crust was nice and crispy. For a quick bite to eat, you can't really beat this place. It's not a boutique pizza if you're into that fancy, shmansy fusion stuff if that's your taste. This is a quality, traditional pizza the way it's meant to be. I'll be sure to pick up a full size pie to take back to Pala and avoid overpaying for a pizza that really isn't worth what the casino is asking. No need for Domino's or Pizza Hut when this place is less than 5 minutes away.

    Delicious! The photos don't do it justice. My family has always passed by this Pizza truck to and from the Casinos and that's a huge mistake we've been making for years!! We always seen it, but just didn't stop for whatever reason, but during the pandemic my husband and I have been trying to buy from small businesses. The quality of the Pizza is amazing! From the Taste of just the cheese alone, to the sauce, and then the dough! I regret not getting a larger size, but we got 3 small personal pizzas to try and now we can't wait to try the sandwiches and wings! If you're hungry, STOP here. You won't regret it! The pizza is sooo good & fresh, right out of the oven my hubby has the burn on his tongue to prove it-since he couldn't wait till it cooled down to eat haha! Oh and the owner being so friendly helped the experience as well! Definitely a new go to!

    This small shops serves up some really good barbecue. Hot tip: Come earlier in the day, if you…read morecan. Like at most BBQ places, they may run out of certain foods later in the day. You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.

    Always perfect BBQ. Brisket has never been dry or anything but perfect. Ribs always great. Prices…read morevery reasonable. This kind of consistency is rare. I live 30 miles away but never pass by without stopping. Counter girl knowledgeable and friendly.

I ordered the Tuna Salad Melt, it comes on Marble Rye bread w/coleslaw, my friend ordered a Chicken Sandwich w/avocado, but no bread and Onion Rings. We had a very nice serving each. I loved the tuna salad, made just like my Mom. They have plenty of parking and outdoor/indoor dining. There is a nice grocery store next door which sells local wines and a little boutique near by(only open Sat & Sun. There is also a small park just in the area so you have choices all around you! I'm sure to go back again. If you get hung up in traffic off the 15 take the Mission/Fallbrook exit and it's right off the old 395 hwy. Worth the stop. I want to try their Prime Rib Special after 4! Oh one more thing, if you use a CC you will pay a fee, but if you use a debit card and of course cash, No Charge
