    Garlic knots
    Sally M.

    Looking for pizza options and found Pit Stop Pizza had online ordering and a drive thru so decided to check it out. After looking at reviews, we knew to order a full pizza ahead of time and did so online. Note: ordering online does not give you the option to do half and half or customize, so you may have to call in for that. In addition to the pizza, we got an order of garlic knots. Sauce does not come with the knots, you have to pay extra for that (we got marinara). Arriving at the drive thru, we gave our name for our pizza and I think the owner was glad that we knew to call ahead of time. He did say that the drive thru is for slices only and typically it is about 3 minutes after ordering to get a slice. Our food was ready at the next window and the owner couldn't have been nicer. The pizza itself was very good as were the knots. I was expecting a bigger knot, but these were really good and loaded with garlic. The chicken pesto pizza was also really tasty. We'll definitely be back to try another pizza!

    This is a cute spot! They nailed the theme. Drive up to order a pizza or you can call ahead or order online. They do whole pizzas and pizza by the slice which can be served quickly. The pastas are good too.

    Very disappointed in this pizza place. I got an 18 inch half margarita half cheese and pepperoni pizza for about $30 out the door with tip, and it is horrible. Domino's is far better in fact any pizza place is better than this place. The guy that took the order was rude. He asked if this was my first time, I said yes, and he said well we've been here two years. Where have you been? Couldn't believe he was that aggressive. The crust is more like a cracker. Thin and crispy. There's virtually no topping on it. There are far better choices out there.

    Tastes like a NY slice, love the spicy items on the menu. Drive thru makes it easy! Order ahead for pies or stop in through for a slice. Surprisingly thin crust & brilliant flavors. Quick, tasty, and easy! Everything you want for a cheesy delight

    Build Your Own Pizza loaded with all the toppings!

    The first time we stopped by was pretty late... we rolled up to the drive-thru at 8:45pm, when they were close to closing. We wanted to get a few slices to try, and they were out of the All You Can Meat, but still had Pepperoni so they doctored up a slice to be an All You Can Meat. We also got a Pesto Chicken and since it was our first time, they threw in a complimentary BBQ Chicken slice, which was very kind. They apologized profusely and explained they didn't make any new pies since it was close to closing- no biggie for us. We waited a few minutes at the second drive-thru window and were given a box of hot slices. Just FYI and heads up, the drive-thru when you leave is SUPER steep. Be careful going down. We enjoyed the slices, nice and thin- just the way we like and good flavor. Not too overwhelming. We decided to order a Build Your Own Pizza a few weeks later and it was delicious! The order was ready when we arrived. We ordered a "deluxe" bc we like toppings: pepperoni, sausage, red peppers, onions, mushrooms and black olives. They didn't skimp on the toppings and we loved it! We heated it up in a pan the next morning and the thin crust held up and was nice and crispy. I would have taken a picture of the tiramisu, but we devoured it! Tiramisu is my favorite dessert and Pit Stop's is 10/10! Get it- you won't regret it! So happy to have a quality pizza place in the neighborhood. We will be back!

    I stopped by around 8 PM on a Monday and went through the drive-through. There were no cars in line, and you can order pizza by the slice for $4. They offer a decent variety of slices like pepperoni, cheese, meat lovers, pesto, chicken, and a few others. With the drive-through setup, the tip option is a bit surprising given there's no real service beyond handing you the food. I tried two slices: *Pepperoni: it had a thin crust, but that's about the only thing going for it. There was barely any sauce, and the overall flavor was very bland. *Chicken Pesto: this was even worse. It was extremely dry and not enjoyable at all. Overall, this was easily some of the worst pizza I've had. The convenience and quick service don't make up for how dry and flavorless the pizza was, and it honestly made me wonder how long the slices had been sitting out. I wouldn't come back.

    Slices.

    Good people. Great pizza. And the desserts here are FIRE! Grab 2 slices and a Tiramisu! Or grab a whole pie!!!

    I tried Pit Stop Pizza today and it is my favorite new restaurant Their food and service are SUPERB. Happy Anniversary boys I highly recommend trying the spicy honey pizza and the pasta because they're both 10/10. Taste and quality of food were superb and I almost ate the whole pizza I also tried the Pesto Chicken pizza which is incredible and the perfect mix of flavors Staff was very friendly and welcoming, and I love that there is a drive thru and patio to hang out at

    Stopped by to try their pizza and pasta. We ordered the pepperoni pizza with spicy salami as an add on as well as a chicken fettuccine pasta with red sauce and garlic extra. The pizza was delicious, tasty sauce and a generous heaping of pepperoni and salami. The pasta was al dente and the chicken was cut into small cubes, was tender and flavorful as well with the extra garlic adding a nice garlicky flavor to the dish. There is plenty of parking on the street and they have a big side yard with tables to sit and enjoy the food on.

    Finally got to check out this place yesterday and it did not disappoint! The owner was there and super friendly. This pizza brought me straight back to Italy, which was a pleasant surprise. Owner recommended calling in next time- said it takes 30 minutes to prepare a whole pie. We enjoyed the seating area while waiting for our pizza. 10/10 experience

It was extremely tough and difficult to cut and chew. I ended up leaving almost the entire entrée on my plate because I simply couldn't enjoy it. My husband and I both commented that it didn't have the tenderness or delicate texture we normally associate with veal. True veal should be tender, fine-grained, and easy to cut with a fork, but this was quite the opposite. Based on this experience, I would not order another meat entrée from this restaurant. It's unfortunate because the ravioli showed that the kitchen is capable of preparing excellent food. I hope the restaurant will review the quality of the meat it serves, as it made an otherwise pleasant visit very disappointing.

We began…read morethe meal with the mini fried calzones with mozzarella and tomato sauce inside and they were great. You could tell the bread was super fresh and high quality so I would recommend it. Next, we got a glass of prosecco. I told the waiter that I only like wine that tastes much more sweet then bitter or strong and he made a perfect suggestion along with giving us a sampler of 3 different wines which was so generous. I got to try them all and pick the one I liked the most, but even the samples were a generous size. For main course I got one of the current options for the cheese wheel pasta they make in front of you in cacio e pepe and my husband got the formaggi pizza with truffle mushrooms. My husband absolutely loved his pizza and the crust was one of the best he's ever had. My pasta was fresh and had a ton of sauce and cream so they didn't skimp at all. I could tell easily that they use very high quality Parmesan because i'm a Parmesan connoisseur and could taste how potent it was. They let me have as much extra as I wanted on without limiting since I enjoy a lot on it which was also a plus in my book. Next time I would get a pasta that's a little lighter, because it was a more heavy dish and it tends to make me feel pretty full after which is totally a me thing, but they have so much on the menu to try that I'm sure I'll love whatever I get even more next time. Lastly, dessert. We got a regular tiramisu and it was absolutely amazing. They put a ton of cream which is exactly what I look for. It wasn't too espresso or cocoa strong and had a perfect ratio. The cream was so light and fluffy that we had to get another one to bring home and eat tomorrow night! I had seen a previous review on here about someone not liking the tiramisu here and it not meeting their expectations for a more upscale Italian place but I've been to quite a few authentic Italian gems and this one had tiramisu up there so I'd have to disagree and completely recommend! The service was impeccable. Every waiter was kind and prompt, constantly making sure we were taken care of and getting what we needed. The atmosphere was also a plus for us because we have a 1 year old baby and there was enough room where we weren't too cramped or crowded in, and it wasn't too loud or overstimulating. The place was very clean and taken care of as well as the bathrooms. All in all, I loved this place and I will be coming back. I would definitely recommend Monello for a nice little date night, and don't forget the tiramisu.

It was a Friday evening and every restaurant on the street was full and vibrant. You could Yelp these places all day long and it would be hard to choose. There's so many great restaurants around Little Italy. Mimmo's reached out and called us in. There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot. Our waiter was so personable and had all the answers to our inquiries. He suggested items and even answered honestly when needed. I got a Le Pécora Nera Sangria (fizzy blackberry with lemon). Tasty, but too many blackberry seeds coming up the straw. I'd get another one next time. For the appetizers: RISOTTO ARANCINI (a MUST get) - these were absolutely delicious. Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant. A solid recommendation on my part.

It's right in the heart of Little Italy on India Street in between all of the other wonderful Italian restaurants. When we walked up. They have patio seating as well as inside dining. We decided to do inside dining as it was starting to get chilly outside. We were immediately seated by a wonderful hostess, and that made a positive impression upon us. The whole hostess staff had great smiles on their faces and they were very welcoming. After about two minutes of sitting down, our server came to ask us if we needed time to look over the menu. We said yes but that we wanted a Foccacia Bread table starter. She smiled and immediately went to put the order in. A few few minutes later she came back and we ordered our drinks for dinner: Raspberry Italian Soda, Orange Crush with Fresh Cream on top, and a non-alcoholic spritz. After we got our drinks and sip on them, it took us a bit of time to decide what we wanted. We all know that the burger here is fantastic! However, this evening, we decided to try new things. We ordered: Pappardelle Bolognese with Added Meatballs, Pappardelle Bolognese as it is normally prepared, and a Caesar salad with shrimp added. Our food was out within about 10 to 15 minutes and everything was prepared perfectly. I have to say that we really enjoyed dining in this location and we may need to come back here more instead of traveling to the Del Mar location sometimes. Our server was super customer service oriented and we appreciated her. She went above and beyond to get the orange crush drink to be unique like an Italian soda for my daughter. We were super stuffed and could not do dessert, but we did promise to come back to enjoy the lava cake at a future time. Overall, this was an excellent visit and we appreciate the staff in the great energy that we received at this location. I do highly recommend it.
