Our favorite pizza was closed for the night so we tried Bambino's. Sister/BIL have lived in Lakeside for 12 years and this was a first time! We all LOVED it! Got the 20 inch supreme pizza, and the spaghetti with meatballs-also delish! We will walk down the menu! read more

5/5 alway. My go-to fave pizza place in East County. I crave their pizza over everyone else's hands down, no competition. They're family owned and operated even to the person who delivers your pizza (if you order directly through them). I've never had a bad meal, service is always friendly and helpful. GBP always has a bunch of "specials / deals" that could work for your family. Our go-tos are pizzas of all shapes and sizes and toppings (all fresh) and their salads. Always a win for me. Don't sleep on this place! read more

Come hungry ! Came with my buddies and we were starving ! We started things out with their jalapeño cheese bread( Highly recommend) so flavorful I wanted more ! Then we got the popeye pizza with stuff crust! OMG this was my favorite item I had there. It comes loaded! Several toppings. We also had the bbq chicken pizza and some of the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. For dessert we got Their famous Dubai Chocolate pizza! It was made from scratch and had all the sweetness ! Their menu is huge and offer unique pizzas. Restaurant was clean and cashier was friendly. Definitely coming back here to try more items ! read more

$40 for a 16" pizza?? WTF? I ordered the 16 inch meat lovers pizza with extra sauce and black olives, and he told me that they charge four dollars for the extra sauce, that's absurd! My normal pizza place closed early or something, because they weren't open at 8:30 as normal, and it's Friday night. So I thought I'd try this place, but it'll be the last time cause I'm not paying these outrageous prices again no matter how good the pizza is. The pizza was good, and probably didn't need the extra sauce. But the crust was normal & I really like thin crust pizza. read more

I use to like Giant Bambino's & would recommend it to others. Tonight my roommates and I ordered the Family Special. It is listed at one price, but more when you pick it up. My roommate was told you have to go to the website to get the correct amount. Well when you click menu have it link to your website and NOT the old prices. We wouldn't have ordered it if we would have known or we would have preferred something else & gotten delivery. We were trying to save money. Then the other night I ordered cannolis & there were 4 in the container tonight there were two. It's all very confusing & when you ask the customer service is NOT what it use to be. Plus you do not get a receipt. So sad. read more

Excellent Pizza, great salad, good garlic bread and their spaghetti is also good. They have come along way and their food has improved immensely. Prices are still high due to our lovely administration who is destroying America but prices should come down in the near future, hopefully. Make sure to try their Extra Large Pizza which we are going to try soon. It's massive and the box is bigger than some cars so make sure you have a large trunk or a truck! This is much better than other big chain pizza places! It's worth the try! Bon appétit! read more

I hoped it might improve on the reheat the next day, not so much. I have never been to a pizza place that would serve store bought meatballs and sauce. That dish looked microwave heated due to the over cooked pattern the sauce arrived in. The Italian bread was just regular store bought bread with butter, garlic and some herbs. The lasagna had two layers and all the cheese needed to mask the mediocre flavor. I never enjoy being put in the position of having to trash a business. I was given a meal and paid over $50 only to through it in the trash. I am sure sometime in the past this place used fresh ingredients with homemade sauce and was made by someone with love and care.

Just giving you update my review is not fake and I had bad experience here so if you have something to say say here don't be messaging me this is the location on Wintergarden next to the water machine companyI know what I'm reviewing on so don't say I've never been in here typical Chaldeans just because you got a bad review doesn't mean that you can get butt hurt about it please don't cry and this is the young lady that message me and this is yelp there's a reason why it's call that it's my pinion on the food not your opinion just because you own the place and you should check your reviews before ordering pizza from this place look at the unread reviews in the bottom of the page and you'll see what's up thank you and have a good day and good luck to you guys read more

Like others, we have ordered a pizza via phone and told the pizza would be ready in 20 minutes. We arrive 20-30 minutes later and then the pizza is never ready on time. Not only is it not ready they always make us wait an additional 15 minutes. This has happened to us every time we have called in. We keep coming back because the pizza is good for the price vs. Little Caesars. Yet, there is no real reason to call in ahead because they won't start making your order unless they know you have paid and are there to pick it up. Nice family but that is poor customer service. Probably will not come back if it happens again. read more

I recently ordered a pizza for delivery and was very disappointed with the overall experience. The delivery took an hour and a half, which was far longer than expected, and when the pizza finally arrived, the quality did not justify the wait or the price. The dough was undercooked, the toppings were sparse and seemed low quality, and the overall taste was comparable to something you'd find at a convenience store. Given the high price point, I expected much better. This was my first time ordering from this establishment, and unfortunately, it will also be my last. read more

I have only tired their pizza and the quality was lacking for sure... Sauce was ok but prefer Little Caesars around the corner because they put more cheese and don't seem to short you on toppings. Literally had 6-8 sausage pieces on my large pizza, that is it. Big turn off is when there is barely enough cheese and the sauce leaks through and you can see the crust. Service was alright and it seems to be family run business but they need to work on a quality and not quantity. read more

My absolute go to pizza place! Outstanding pizza every time I've ate it. Fresh ingredients and crispy crust, most important part of a perfect pizza of course. I love seeing friendly faces every visit there, makes the whole experience ever better. Fast service, delicious food, what more could you possibly ask for?

They have one the best pizza i've had in the San Diego area. The prices are affordable and the staff is incredibly friendly. I go there on a weekly basis since theirs isn't as oily or greasy as other places and you can tell the freshness of the vegetables they use... that and they offer artichoke as a topping. Definitely a must go to place if you haven't tried their pizza yet. read more

It had beans, mozzarella, jalapeños, onions, chorizo, bacon, and ham, and everything worked together perfectly. What really stood out to me was the crust and dough. The crust was light and fluffy, and the dough itself had so much flavor. Even with all of the toppings, the pizza wasn't greasy or overly heavy. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were amazing, and I honestly enjoyed every bite. The customer service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. Great food is one thing, but when you combine it with people who actually care about providing great service, that's what makes you want to come back. I went in expecting to get a good pizza and left feeling like I found one of those local spots you want to tell people about. Mexican pizza was easily a 9.2/10 for me. I'll absolutely be coming back. If you're thinking about trying this place, do yourself a favor and give them a shot--and definitely try the Mexican pizza!

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.

The pizza isn't the best pizza that you're going to find in SD but it just may be the best priced good pizza and it's one I'll come back for. They also have a ton of specials that you should all check out to make for a very easy and affordable family dinner.

Mamma Rosa's Restaurant & Pizza

**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!
