I was on the fence whether this place deserved a three or four star review so I am going to settle…read morefor a 3.5 stars. I stopped in and ordered the meatball sub. My first instinct was to ask if they made their own meatballs, which is huge for me. The young man said that they did. To be honest, after eating half the meatball sub, I was not convinced that they were or were not. The meatballs were okay. I could tell they were previously frozen by the water retention inside them and their dense texture. The meatball sub was long and cut in half. The red sauce was good and not overly sweet. The mozzarella cheese was partially melted on and in the sandwich. It definitely needed a little more time in the oven to get that good melt. The sub came with fries, but since I had it to-go, the fries were cold and limp by the time I got home and not edible for me. The hospitality was good. The young man running the place was polite and friendly. He even offered me water. The service was efficient. They offer a table inside and no outside seating, so this place is basically a to-go joint.

We ordered the pizza and wings deal. The pizza was great - The sauce was great! There was a good amount of cheese and a fair amount of extra pepperoni. The crust was soft and moist. The wings were meaty in a good way. My only suggestion would be to have a more customizable online ordering service. I did use a web browser on my phone (not the app) so could be just that. I'll definitely order from here again the next time I'm craving pizza!

They are still sticking to the original recipes and I appreciate the dough of our Italian Sausage & Mushroom pizza. We also shared a Caesar salad. I like that they have a room for private events - they had the Padres game on in that room. Our server would pass by a few times so that we could ask her for anything additional. We skipped dessert this time. Our pizza was better the second day! The way they prepare mushrooms was the way my hometown pizza place did. And the CHEESE! So delicious and melt-y!!!! Enjoy it

This restaurant is advertising as a side business, "Veggie Melt Pizza Studio," on all of the food…read moredelivery apps. This is supposedly a vegan business with listings for tons of fully vegan options including vegan cheeses and vegan meats. We ordered through DoorDash and when it arrived it was very obviously dairy and meat. We looked up the address & found that it was from Shinar's, so I called and they confirmed they had fulfilled the order, and asked to confirm if it was made using animal products. They said that they did make it, but that they do not have any vegan options, and it had been made with dairy and animal products. When I asked why they are advertising as vegan, they had no answer. They seemed to not want to explain at all. The reviews in the apps show that this is happening to a lot of people. I don't know what is motivating them to pretend to have a vegan side business that they do not have, but it is extremely bizarre and DANGEROUS! People can have serious anaphylactic responses to dairy and they can put someone in the hospital by falsely advertising like this.

I went back and asked the clerk for another 2/3 small packages and she refused to give me any more. I offered to pay for them and still denied me any more. She said they only give out 2 per pizza. How ridiculous and stingy this place is. This has to be the LAST time i ever go buy pizza here or even recommend it to anyone. They can keep the full box of crushed peppers they had in the back table. Smh. Very unhappy and disappointed at this place over a small packs of peppers. Dont support this place!!!!

**A Hidden Gem in El Cajon!**…read more If you're looking for authentic Italian food made with love, I highly recommend **Mamma Rosa Italian Restaurant**! One thing I really appreciated is that they offer many of their pasta dishes in **half or full portions**. I love having that option because it gives you the opportunity to try a little bit of everything if you're like me and can't decide on just one dish! I ordered the **Chicken, Ham & Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo**, and it was absolutely delicious. The fresh homemade noodles were cooked perfectly--not too thick--and the Alfredo sauce was creamy, rich, and full of flavor without feeling overly heavy. We also enjoyed their pizza, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The crust was cooked to perfection with just the right texture, and the marinara sauce was incredibly well-balanced--not overly acidic, which was a huge plus since I'm sensitive to red sauces. Best of all, I had no heartburn afterward! We also tried their homemade Italian sausage, which was outstanding, along with the hearty potato gnocchi that was soft, pillowy, and full of flavor. The spaghetti was another favorite--my grandson absolutely devoured it! One of the highlights of our visit was meeting **Linda**, the owner. She shared that many of the recipes have been passed down from her grandmother, making this a true family tradition. Knowing that these are cherished generational recipes made the experience even more special. Our server, **Helen**, provided exceptional customer service. One thoughtful touch that really stood out was that when we had leftovers, the staff took our plates and carefully packaged everything into to-go containers for us. That's a level of service you don't see very often anymore, and it made us feel genuinely cared for. The restaurant itself was clean, cozy, and welcoming. From the homemade food to the warm hospitality, every part of our experience was wonderful. If you haven't been, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try! **Mamma Rosa Italian Restaurant** 1773 E. Main St. El Cajon, CA 92021 We'll definitely be back!

Comes with garlic bread. Everything tasted outstanding. The lasagna was a nice portion, served piping hot, just how I like it. They seem to take great pride in their lasagna; I could tell it was thoughtfully prepared and not all sloppy. The spaghetti was somewhat al dente, definitely better than some other local restaurants.
