If you went to school around San Diego back in the 2009 era, you probably know exactly what Milo's Pizza was. This was my go to spot during college. No thinking, no debating, just go. It was right there next to the Diplomat apartments and always came through. I still remember the deal. Drink, bag of chips, and two slices for about 3 bucks. You really couldn't beat it. Straight up better value than a lot of places even today. Honestly put Costco to shame at the time. It wasn't trying to be anything fancy. Just solid pizza, quick, affordable, and always there when you needed it. The staff was always great too. Friendly, quick, and kept things moving. Never an issue. I'm sure prices have changed by now, but that's not even the point. It's one of those places tied to a time in your life. Routine, late nights, quick stops before or after class. Haven't been back in a while, but next time I'm in the area, I'm stopping in. Love this place. read more

MILO'S PIZZA @ EL CAJON This place is only about a five minute drive from SDSU, so it's definitely a convenient spot for college students. I had actually never heard of it before, but a few of my friends had been here several times, especially on weekends, so I decided to give it a try. One thing I did like was that they offered a variety of deals and combos. I believe they had a pizza and drink combo for a set price, and you could also order individual slices with a drink or choose from several other specials. I thought that was a nice perk. The pizza itself starts at a base price, and then you pay extra for each topping you add. Personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of that system because the toppings felt pretty expensive for the amount you actually receive. My friends and I ordered toppings like pepperoni and mushrooms, but there were barely any on the pizza. For what we paid, I expected a lot more. I also felt like the pizza wasn't as fresh as I was hoping it would be. That being said, I do like the personal pizza concept and the ability to customize your order. However, considering the price and the amount of toppings provided, I didn't think the value was great. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. The parking situation is pretty rough since there are several restaurants sharing a very small lot. Finding a spot can be difficult, especially during busy hours. The restaurant itself is also more of a quick grab and go type of place. There isn't much of a dine in atmosphere, and it feels more geared toward getting your food and heading out rather than sitting down for a long meal. Overall, I would be willing to give this place another try in the future because everyone has off days. Unfortunately, this visit wasn't my favorite experience, and I left feeling a little disappointed with the value for the price read more

I had their food for the first time at my friend's house for her birthday and their food is really good. We got their veggie pizza and it was delicious and really tasty. I loved how many veggies were on the pizza. We also got a jalapeño and pineapple pizza and that was a great combination on the pizza! We also got Greek salad which was good and it also came with a garlic bread and that was also good. The service was great. They were fast at making the pizza and on time. The employees that work there are super nice and friendly! If you have any questions or concerns they don't mind answering them for you. I can't wait to go back and try more of their foods. read more

First and foremost, the pizza at this location is to die for! Yes, I understand a large pizza might be considered a-little pricey to some of us! But what I've learned throughout my lifetime is that you get exactly what you pay for (I.e. quality) & you pay for what you get (I.e. quality)! Bottom line is the food is delicious! The service is good! and while the El Cajon blvd spot is small, the ambiance is big! read more

Mama Mia, that's a good pizza. Chef's kiss! Absolutely exceeds my expectations. Who woulda known this lil mom and pop shop around the corner from my house had some heat. Such good bang for your buck, the quality ingredients and the quantity you get is mind blowing. Def one of fav spots. The San Diegan is a must. The thin crust, and the flavors just blend so well with each other. The staff are so friendly and inviting too. Highly recommend coming here! read more

First time here and this is the best pizza I've had in San Diego - as a fan of crispy thin crust pizza, I feel not a lot of places nail it but Milo's sure did! - had to take a bite before taking the picture. Sooooo good and came out super fast, less than 5 minute wait time, will definitely come here next time I'm craving pizza! They offer pizza by the slice as well as entire ones. This establishment also has parking, a few tables, and was very clean. No complaints! read more

I don't understand how anyone could give Milo's anything less than five stars. With friendly and fast service, amazing food, and the lowest prices of any meal in the area, Milo's has always been my go-to. They even do free delivery within a mile or two of the store. Stop by and you won't be disappointed by this NY style pizza read more

Absolutely Horrible customer service experience with this pizza place. I have a door hanger flyer that I've had for maybe a year? No promotion dates or expiration dates listed on there so I figured I was good to order with the same prices that I was provided. To my surprise when I called, I was pretty much being accused of lying or making up what I was telling them based off of the flyer they kept insisting I had the wrong location and that this absolutely was nothing that they'd ever heard of before. I was prompted to send a text message to some random phone number showing them the flyer for them to then tell me that they've already changed and upped their prices 4 to 5 times since that flyer. But again with no dates or expiration or saying promotion last for this long, I feel that I should've been given what I was advertised. Not my fault they forgot to put a promotion time limit and/or expiration dates on their flyer. The guy was trying to explain how expensive cheese is right now and it sounded so incredibly stupid and unprofessional . We all know the world is super expensive right now. But I can't believe it's cheaper to buy pizza in La Jolla versus some little place by San Diego State University... mind blowing! Safe to safe I will never return here! read more

If you're a pizza lover, you know that not all pies are created equal. Our absolute favorite? The San Diegan! Every bite is a burst of big flavor that keeps us coming back for more. What sets the San Diegan apart? First and foremost, it's crispy yet chewy with the delicious toppings that follow along with the perfect bottom crust. Each slice is a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on your palate, making it a must-try for anyone who appreciates a great pizza. Great service even though it is just a small pizza place! read more

I'm genuinely so annoyed. I waited 45 minutes for 4 slices of pizza. We came in and ordered and we waited for 45 minutes while 6 other people came and went. Some dude from the kitchen came out, asked us what we were waiting for and then proceeded to forget about us. After another 10 minutes some other dude came in from what I'm guessing was a delivery and I asked for an update. He went back into the kitchen and immediately grabbed it. We went home with luke warm pizza and a luke warm drink. How do you have 4 guys working and you lose track of 4 slices of pizza that's in a single box. read more

I've been coming to Milo's for years. They have a special buy two slices and a soda for a deal. Sodas are always cold, pizza is always made fresh! I ordered the pesto pizza and the works over the weekend. My favorite was the pesto pizza. Both were crispy, fresh ingredients, tasted so darn good. Pesto pizza had blend of basil, ricotta, garlic and Mozzarella cheese. The works pizza had pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, onion, green bell pepper, salami and olives. Staff is always fun and friendly. Parking is a hit or miss, very tight parking spots. read more

Simply the best pizza in the college area. Also the best value. $7 for 2 slices and a drink - that really helps the budget which is why I keep coming back here! Parking can be problematic but I'll let it slide since the pizza is so good. It's just like what I grew up eating in PA. read more

Picked up a pizza today and it was sooooo bomb. I got the margherita and cant wait to try something else its ny style, not too floppy, perfect ratio of ingredients. And they were playing turnstile when i went in. Will be coming back. read more

TL;DR: college pizza - come if you want to save a buck or two but don't come expecting to find the best pie Pro: huge pies for a the price Cons: the toppings tasted canned, the sauce was so grossly sweet and tin-flavored we had to stop eating Service was relatively quick but pretty frazzled Despite being walking distance and thinking maybe other pies might be better, I won't be back. Not getting fooled twice - not trying to eat canned or jarred pizza again read more

Great New York-style pizza with that perfect fold and flavor. The sandwiches and wings are just as solid--clearly not an afterthought. Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and everything hits the spot. Easy place to become a regular (and to mysteriously run out of leftovers). read more

Came here because the yelp reviews were popping off and we live down the street. Went full blown and got a large "works" pizza for 2 people and had a coupon to get the "garlic knots" for free! Food was def college-y: Cheap mediocre food to fill you up. Would mainly come get a slice post drinking or late night, but def not a box at home kinda spot. Much rather would go to dominos. The garlic knots were garlic-less and the works was a better named supreme. Ingredients seem kinda straight from cans or something. Service was slow and it didn't really seem like it was a fresh made pie after trying a bite. Maybe I just didn't order the right thing but I don't get the hype. Gave it 2 stars cuz the price is cheap!!! read more

As a New Yorker, coming to CA and saying that the pizza could rival an NYC pizza slice place could get me beat up, but that's exactly what Milo's did not just the first night we came with the kids, but also the second time my husband and I decided to carry out because we were still hungry after a lackluster dinner at a restaurant in Little Italy. My kids are extremely particular about their pizza having grown up in NYC. There is only one place in Chicago they still eat at, and that's because it's thin-crust, pub-style. I was a bit nervous bringing them here, but it was a travel day, we had just checked into the hotel that afternoon, and we didn't want to go far or explore much. I saw the reviews and decided to give it a shot. Don't expect much in regards to ambience! They have some cool art work and photos on the wall, but other than that it's your standard counter and barstool seating. The service the first night we were there was great. We ordered a couple of slices of cheese for the kids and a couple slices with topping for ourselves. If you order two slices, you get a free drink, which was a nice touch. I didn't even know that because I was so exhausted, I didn't see the sign on the door, and the gentleman who rang us up was kind enough to inform us. The kids loved their cheese slices - the pizza was hot and fresh, the crust was well-made and crispy yet chewy. Our first two slices were with jalapeno and garlic, then we ordered another with mushroom, jalapeno and garlic. We were a fan of both. Later that week we decided to order carry out. Even though I called ahead, my pizza still wasn't ready when I got there so I waited in the car. No big deal. We got a small pie between us and it was enough - 3 medium-ish slices each with mushroom, jalapeno and garlic. I still think about that pizza even though I'm back home in NYC...that should say something. read more

Amazing marinara sauce!! The pizza is amazing without it but it is so good I want to dip everything in it. The garlic knots are great and worth ordering. You can taste how fresh the dough is. It makes the pizza better than most places. Also love the slices option, that is something most places don't offer. Ingredients and toppings tasted fresh. My fiancé got the works pizza and I got the margarita pizza. We order our own pizzas so we can have leftovers that's how good this place is. read more

Great service at the restaurant and for delivery. and pizza is yummy. Great lunch specials

I normally like my pizza well done, but here I didn't even have to ask--it came out perfect. The undercarriage had that great crisp, the cheese was bubbly and golden on top, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Everything had a fresh, flavorful bite, and it's clear they take pride in what they serve. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for top-notch pizza. read more

My go to thin crust pizza in the neighborhood. Staff is normally super helpful (you sometimes get a bit of gruff but I get it. Ha!). I love their margarita and San Diegan. The meatball is delicious on pizza and the ricotta is fresh. Their salads are also freshly cut and they give you plenty of dressing. Their garlic knots are kid friendly, buttery and have fresh minced garlic. Inside is mostly a few seats but it's clean. read more

Perfect slice of NY pizza. Wow wow wow. Impressive. Great service with a friendly smile

Offer great deals but the pizza isn't amazing. No inside seating so more of a take out place but good for cheap pizza if you're in a hurry or don't want to cook. read more

You guysss!!!! Don't walk, run to Milo's! Food was BOMB. We had slices, wings and salad. All of it - 10/10. I should have taken pics but it was so good - we just scarfed it! Not only is the food amazing, service was top notch! Definitely going back!!! Not to mention the vibes in the store were on point! read more

My friends invited me over to their place and ordered pizza from there. It was delicious!!!

Pro: Customer service is always awesome! Call in orders and speak with someone! It's better than ordering online Open late even on Sunday(s) There are plenty of pre-designed pies and a good list of toppings Salads, Calzone, Cheese Bread, etc... Close to the college Con: The wait, but it's ooohhh, so worth it! Close to the college So I've ordered from Milo's before, just like this last time? NO COMPLAINTS! In the past, I would have ordered one of their pies with meat, but now Vegetarian. The Pesto, The Margherita are AMAZING! I got my friend the Combo+Pineapple, and she said it was amazing! I kinda assumed after her 3rd slice! Also tried their Calzone! The sauce on the side wasn't my favorite. However, the calzone still was damn good! The only negative thing again was the wait, I assume it's because SDSU students know how epic this pizza is! Customer service is definitely a highlight here. They want to know if you receive bad service, so it's very unlikely you will, I never have! I have only ordered delivery, but I'm sure the storefront is the same Customer Service. I highly recommend Milo's anytime you're craving a good slice of pizza, calzone, or a pizza! They're that good! After all, they make their dough "all day long!" read more

I've been going to Milos for a few years now and they never disappoint. You can order and if their pizzas by the slice which is really nice. They have a few specialty pizzas with the The Slims being my fave! I don't know what it is about pesto on a pizza but you can never go wrong with it in my opinion! Their calzones are HUGE and reasonably priced. You can add two toppings and it comes with a side of marinara for only $14.99. I tried one of their subs for the first time. Ordered the torpedo and I thought it was super good! Will definitely be ordering it again. read more

The food is incredible along with the prices. Classic college meal, 2 extra large slices of either pepperoni or cheese New York style pizza with a soda for only 6 bucks. The crust is thin and crispy, but still holds its structure. If you're feeling more adventurous with the toppings, like I was this time, then try the Slims pizza which has chicken, ranch, bacon, tomatoes, and a swirl of pesto without red sauce. It takes like a chicken bake from Costco but on a pizza. It's super savory with the acidity of the tomatoes that keep it well balanced. The staff is super friendly every time I've gone and the ambiance resembles that of a small pizza joint. This place is amazing. read more

great great pizza but wow there's one guy there that walks around like he's has a 45 pound crap in his pants I was using the bathroom once and the guy in the back had his bare fingers in the pizza sauce he grabbed it and started rubbing the pizza sensually the crust is so perfect but when I bring it home and reheating the crusts seems to turn green I highly recommend this place but don't do delivery because if you get him he will watch you in the window until you finish your food he stayed over night once when I didint finish it after I took the cold pizza out of the fridge and finished it he got back in his car and drove off enjoy the pizza but watch out. read more

This was my 4th time ordering from Milo's. The first time the pizza was delicious, 2nd and 3rd times not quite as good but not too bad, 4th time it was awful. The crust was burnt to a crisp, cold like it sat there for hours and misshapen like they didn't care. Not appetizing and not edible. Big disappointment . read more

Best pizza in San Diego hands down. Absolutely fantastic and amazing price.if I could eat here everyday I'd be happy.

Malcolm 1 Star * 2025-03-08 This pizza shop has terrible organization. They forget people's orders. They forget to make them. They deliver wrong items. I come here often because the pizza is good. But order at your own risk. They will forget items, and when you talk to them, they will get rude and defensive. A lot of ego and anger managament at this establishment, and even worst in person. The owner told me, " If you dont like the way I treat you, leave and never come back. I dont care." It's a weird day we live. Customer service is a lost art. read more

Milo's Pizza - 2 Slices of NY Style Pizza & A Soda - Pizza Near Me - San Diego, California

I decided Bronx Pizza is too far for what it is (simply above average pizza), so now that Madra Pizza has closed (also above average) I'm trying to find a pizza place near the 92120 that fills that void. Sadly Milo's is not it. We got a cheese pizza. It was entirely mediocre. Breaking it down into individual components, the cheese and sauce were average, too. The crust was average so I wouldn't waste calories eating the crust at the end. I would eat here if I lived around the corner. I mean, it's not bad. Otherwise... The search continues. read more

This is a good little take out spot. No real seating and the music is usually too loud, but the pizza is excellent.

I would recommend stopping in for a slice read more
