Have eaten here for years. We like the one in Little Italy, San Diego & Escondido. It's true servings are large. But the pizza is TOO heavy on the cheese and the crust has become so thick and doughy it's ridiculous. Your toppings are buried so why have any? Just order a cheese pizza. It doesn't really even melt. Good pizza to fill up your kids but that's it. One time we ordered "easy on the cheese" !! Service varies but it's usually ok. read more

This place never disappoints place itself is a simple traditional look place is super clean and waitress was super nice and pizza came out quick. Pizza itself you just have to go and try it for yourself. A review is just not enough, there quality is what amazes me the most it just never fails. I've been to many Filippi's in San Diego and their quality is consistently good. I saw a lot of people ordering half spaghetti and half lasagna and although I have not tried it it looked AMAZING. Next visit is to try that specific plate. Great good and please keep it up. read more

I hate to say it but food wasn't good. We ordered thin crust and got a pizza that was as thick as can be. Low seasoning. Sad. read more

Filippi's Pizza Grotto - Temecula - Thin crust? No! - Pizza Near Me - Temecula, California

Went to this place for the first time in this area,I've have tried Filippi's in San Diego. Went there when it was open at 11 AM. The place was dirty and dated. I ordered the single meatball and the deluxe pizza and my wife ordered the pasta with marinara sauce and sausage. The meatball and pasta dish came and were very bland. We didn't even finish the pasta and marinara sauce took one bite and told him to take it away. The pizza took over an hour to get to our table. The waitress kept telling us there was a problem with the pizza. There was guests coming in, sitting down, ordering eating and leaving, and we were still waiting for our pizza when we did get the pizza, we were hungry pulled one slice out and everything fell off. It just slid off and we had enough asked for the bill. The waitress did take off the pasta dish off the bill. I will never go back to this place again. read more

Great food at great prices. Friendly staff and great service. Definitely recommend this location and the San Diego location

Nice place! Popular with the local crowd in Temecula.and always has many patrons dining on weekends.

Our extended family meets here for family events. We are an"active" end diverse group. We always get lots of great food and good service. Sunday 5/18/25 was no exception. However Brianna our server went way above even Filippi's high standard. Stellar server with poise and grace. Super team member now and because she's so young I'm sure she has an amazing future as well read more

It's funny, I used to eat at Filippis San Deigo every time I crossed the border with family and friends. Today I found out there was one in Temecula. We went and ordered WAY too much food. But loved it all. I had the Meatball.Parm sandwich. Had to take half of it home. My Son had the Italian Hoagie, and his girl had the Manicotti. Both were Amazing. The King of the table was the Med Meat Lovers Pizza. Had two slices and left with my wallet in tact, but suffering from a food coma. The drive back to Bonsall was murder. BTW, Google "The Best Pizza in Temecula" and the number one pop-up is Filippis Pizza Grotto. 5ive Stars well deserved. read more

I've been coming to this place for years with my family. I've always gotten the pizza, pasta and salad and fresh bread and it's always been top-notch. But just recently I was told to try the sandwiches by a friend. I have never had a better capicola torpedo in my life. I am going to get so fat now that I know that they have these here. read more

Good food with friendly service and a good atmosphere. We like coming for the special and it never disappoints.

Food was weird. House dressing for a salad is a blue cheese and Italian mix? Got the chicken Parmesan lunch special, and apparently their definition of chicken parm is over baked chicken with no breading and mushrooms covered with bland cheese. Plus a huge side of soggy spaghetti in a tomato soup they call sauce I guess. Never going there ever again, and no Italian should ever want to associate themselves with whatever that was. Good service from the staff, but not enough to overcome the stomach churning food they sent out. read more

Great food! Been going to Filippi's literally for decades. I especially love the original form in Little Italy in San Diego.

Love Filipli's so much!! We have never had a bad experience here. This location is always busy, but not as busy at the Escondido one. In my opinion the Escondido one has better food, but this location is decent. I love how they have a $.99 spaghetti bowl for kids. It's such a good deal and so perfect for a little one. read more

Came here for dinner, they have a special dine in for 2 meal that comes with. 10" cheese pizza 2 plates half spaghetti half lasagna, 2 salads and fresh bread roll for $ 28.99 they offer 10% military discount for dine in only. I love their lasagna and the pepperoni pizzas. Friendly service! Authentic Italian food. read more

We had a family dinner here. Ordered 2 large pizzas and spaghetti. Spagetti was OK - Pizzas had WAY TOO MUCH cheese on it. So if you go, I would order half cheese on any pizza ordered. It looked like a heart attack just waiting. And it's hard to remove it without everything else coming off as they add the cheese on top of everything. Pizza taste however was good. read more

Their Antipasto Salad is the best I have been to other Filipino restaurant (San Diego, Corona, Escondido , even little Italy). No one else make the recipe. For the Robert the manager is best. And in the Antipasto has in the part of the salad. There pizza is in 5th place in USA. read more

The catering food was amazing and the quantity was great for the price. Service was excellent and the restaurant was clean

Great pizza! The hrs showed they were closed but they were open! I placed an adjustment for Yelp to fix. TC helped also known as Terry. She is so sweet a big asset to the restaurant! Very helpful and fast! read more

Arrived on a Saturday at 11:45. Place was pretty much empty, but it was the calm before the rush came. Ordered a small salad, pizza,spaghetti and two meatball subs (to go). First the small salad can be split between two, it was huge, fresh and topped with mozzarella cheese. The pizza was a medium sausage, pep, and meatball. It was huge, might as well have been a large. Tasted amazing and the points go to the crust and blanket of cheese. You don't need extra cheese. The meatball subs were great too, warmed them up in the oven at home the next day. All of this for $75. With rising prices everywhere else this place kept it low because we left full, and with a feast, days of food. When we left 45 minutes later the house was hopping. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious as always Been going here for years All their dishes are delicious and satisfying with generous enormous portions . Great Italian food , casual relaxed atmosphere a wonderful family style place ! read more

I had a visa gift card I wanted to use for my order and they don't accept this. It's not posted anywhere in the restaurant. It was a bummer . I was talking with the manager and before he came to the counter he looked agitated . When he talked with me he came off arrogant and dismissive. I talked with him calmly, because I was just curious about using a gift card. read more

In the land of never ending chain restaurants is Filippi's and to my surprise its a chain, a smaller regional chain with only about 20 locations but they had me fooled. This place has "Mom and Pop' written all over it. I hope the other 19 locations are this authentic. I grew up in a place like this spinning pies, simmering sauce and grating mozzarella cheese by the tub, and this place brought me home. I thought the large combo pizza we had was excellent with a crust firm enough to hold all of the generous toppings and cheese, This pizza was loaded yet still composed with brilliant execution. The pizza was a solid 10!!! Coming from a guy that made tens of thousands of pizzas in my life take this as a solid recommendation to order the pizza here Meatballs are massive and for the same price the Italian sausage is far less impressive, the house salad is old school with Iceberg and tomato, just as the menu states and the house special creamy Italian dressing is serviceable. I loved the lasagna, it must have been 8 layers tall, but the spaghetti fell a little short for me as my favorite food in the world, Filippi's sauce just proves that Red Sauce is subjective and everyone likes it a bit deferent. The sauce was fine, but it wasn't spectacular like the pizza was. On the night we went the place was packed yet somehow we got a table for 7 people in just minutes. Our server did the job and did it well, she was very busy throughout yet took excellent care of our table and special ordering requests. Yelp only allows 5 stars but I would give Filippi's 10, I will however give you the highest recommendation to come to the Temecula Filippi's and bring the family!!! read more

Filippi's Pizza and Italian is something a family craves. It is our favorite place for Italian food and love to get it delivered even though it has to be ordered through the Door Dash App. Natalie was very nice to take my phone call to modify my order for my unusual way. I think there should be a way to tip the restaurant staff like through Venmo. I would take a picture, but we can never wait to dig in to the food. Just Trust me presentation does not mean anything if it is not Filippi's. We've tried them all. read more

If you enjoy delicious food you'd do yourself a favor to never eat here. Meatballs were dry and didn't offer much taste. Chicken tortellini Pesto was more of a green lukewarm soup rather than a pasta dish. Chicken Parmesan was as if you smothered cardboard in cheese. Service was not very good. The waitress was rude to some of the children even though the children used manners "may I have water too please". Ambience was alright I guess. People seemed to be enjoying time with their friends and loved ones, but certainly couldn't have been the food. Charging what they do for food worse than frozen dinners is criminal. read more

Went there for the 2person special deal. Food was just OK. Nothing stood out. Service was OK. Gave the food. Was only the time they came around was when they needed to take the order and drop the food off.. Didn't really put an effort. Place could be lit up more maybe a little bit updated. They have candles there but they don't let it up even if it's in the evening, why even put it there overall good deal on their special, the pizza was better than the spaghetti read more

I highly recommend the lasagna, & antipasti salad. It is served with delicious bread. Great place to take the family.

I usually go to the Escondido location because I grew up there and I am very use to their pizza. I decided to try this Temecula location to be a super torpedo, it turned out to be excellent like the one in Escondido, now I can save some time and not have to go to Esco. Next, I will be brave and try their pizza, wish me luck! read more

Great food, you definitely get an amazing amount of food for the price. We had spaghetti, pizza, garlic bread and regular bread, cannelloni beef and chicken, lasagna, manicotti, and salads for a party of 6 everyone loved all the food. Their service was superb and they are very friendly. It's a great family restaurant! read more

Food is always amazing and you can't beat the prices here. Especially their family meal deal.

Remain open on your posted hours People sometimes travel distances to get you and are inconvenienced by not able to have dinner, because your employees decide to close early read more

Filippi's pizza is the perfect choice for Sunday football! The dough is thicker than New York style, topping portions are generous with plenty of cheese, making each slice hearty and filling. The anti-pasto salad also is a great choice with plenty of cheese and meats along with garbanzo beans, lettuce and tomatoes. The house dressing is a delicious mix of blue cheese and Italian. Filippi's is a Temecula staple! read more

this place is such a staple pizza place in the temecula valley! i absolutely love coming here for a good dinner. the pizza is always amazing and fresh. i ventured out and got lasagna and cheese bread and it was just as delicious. the service is always great and the restaurant itself is always so busy but it's worth the wait! there's plenty of space and even though it's small, it doesn't ever feel super crowded. definitely give it a try if you want true great pizza! read more

Service and staff was great. The food however was not up to par. Loved the environment and setting though. The spaghetti was very runny. And the lasagna was very cheesy with no fetta with a sweet marina sauce. read more

Sadly, this place got expensive. They no longer have the family deal Sunday, even after they had already increased the price. They also charge for every little thing (i.e. small side of ranch). We used to go once a month. We will no longer be visiting. So sad. read more

Sadly, our pizza was burned black on the bottom. When my husband showed the manager, she became defensive. She claimed it wasn't burned and was quite rude. She finally offered 10% off our bill, but her belligerence was unforgivable. We have eaten at Filippis in Escondido many times and I would give give them five stars both for the food and the service. read more

We showed up at 8:06pm for dinner and were turned away because they were closed but both yelp and Google indicate they don't close until 9pm on a Saturday. Needless to say very disappointed. read more

Fun place and good food. They are always consistent and so much food. The House dressing is amazing.

My friends and I had the pleasure of dining at Filippis restaurant last night. First off, Cindy our waitress was outstanding. She was quite busy but very thoughtful and sweet. She addressed our needs before we needed them lol! My roommate and another friend have been telling me how great fillippis food is, we were not disappointed. My friend and I split the "feast" pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, salad and garlic bread for $26.95! I could feed my neighborhood with all the food I brought home. Huge kudos to Cindy! Thank you! read more

We love their lasagna. The service is outstanding and things come out of the kitchen nice and hot. Give this lace a try. We return often. read more
