such a special spot. Not only is the mission incredible, but the food actually delivers too, which makes it even better. We ordered the family meal deal and it was perfect for an easy night out. It comes with two large pizzas, Sicilian mac and cheese, a salad (we got the Caesar), and four mini cannolis. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected. The BBQ chicken pizza was so good, but the Sicilian mac and cheese... SO creamy, cheesy, and easily one of my favorite things we ordered. They also have an arcade, which made the whole experience even more fun for my son. It's one of those places where you're not just going for food, you're going for the full experience. Between the quality of the food and their focus on creating inclusive employment opportunities for individuals with different abilities, it's a place you genuinely feel good supporting. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area. read more

I tried the regular crust Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and Canadian ham the other day with my family. The dough was premade and baked and then reheated again so it was hard like a cracker. The worst pizza I ever had. It would have been better to get a frozen pizza at the grocery store and heat it up, rather than go here. I may try the pasta someday, and maybe the thick crust, but not the regular crust. Stay away. Service was very good. Ambiance was casual and it's a good place to bring your kids. read more

Super cute place to hang with the kids, or pop in for lunch, etc. Love all the video games in the area set apart. They installed a few TVs around, and the inside is a cool vibe. Obviously their reason behind the place is super cool. We had a great experience with everyone who worked there and waited on us. I love the option to build your own pizza or the had family deals and pre set options as well. Multiple crust options to choose from. My only wish is they kept the old beer taps. They do have beer and wine but in cans and bottles and no IPA's You won't leave hungry or disappointed!! read more

Service was bad ..sandwiches were dry...they forgot what we ordered and had to wait more for our food ..also I dont like the way they serve our food ..they brought it one by one. We also had to wait like 5 minutes in between pizzas ..I wished they brought it all at once so we could eat together and not have our food get cold as we wait to do so read more

The pizza is good here. This is located in shopping square with other food establishments but what I like about this place is the how this place can to manifest. This place provides opportunities to people with disabilities. My wife ordered the pepperoni pizza and I ordered the cheese pizza. I enjoyed both dishes but the pepperoni stood out more between the two pies. There are arcade machines, and pinball machines in a separate section. There is a lot real estate at this place for big groups. There are the standard fountain drinks offered here. There is plenty of parking and this place is easy to find. I will come back here again. Enjoy. read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place! Anywhere that prioritizes inclusivity within their business practices gets my money - and we were willing to drive an hour south to spend ours here! A build your own pizza place is only as delicious as you make it - it's all on you! And ours were delicious. They also have a few pre-selected options you can choose from (we got the bbq chicken one 10/10) and built a few others with our favorite ingredients! The pesto and Alfredo were both delicious, the red sauce flavored well, and the crust itself was a delight! The employees were all a bit young, but every single one served with a smile, were paced with fervor, and brought joy to the restaurant! We WILL be back! (And pls build one in north county ) read more

After seeing this place in the neighborhood a few times, I decided I'd give it a try. I ordered online - 1 signature pizza, 1 build your own, and 1 Mac and cheese bowl with bacon. Everything was ready in 15 minutes so that was super quick and appreciated. The pizza was okay. I wouldn't really rave about it. It's just okay. The Mac and cheese bowl was horrendous. It didn't seem like there was any sauce, it was a pit of grease at the bottom, the cheese topping was insanely hard to get through. I struggled quite a bit and opt'd to eat some of my daughter's food. I don't think we'll be back. This was a disappointment. Especially for the price. read more

Pizzabilities are now open in Santee, CA! Pizzabilities not only make some delicious pizza with great options, they make it with a purpose: they offer inclusion and employment for many of our community members. I stopped in for lunch and ordered the original crust 10" pizza with pesto sauce, Italian sausage, and red onions for $13 and some change. The pizza was a build your own pizza and it was great. The crust had a very good crispiness and a light chew on the inside. The pesto sauce was very flavorful, and I really liked the Italian sausage because it tasted great and came with a small amount of fennel seeds. The only thing I would advise is to make sure that they distribute the onions around the pizza, rather than just dropping them in one part of the pizza. The service was good. The young lady who took my order and made my pizza was nice and had a good sense of humor. Do give this place a try. There's ample parking, pinball, arcade games, and basketball shoot inside; in addition, there's beer and wine available for adults. read more

Love that you can customize your own pizza with plenty of options! All of the employees were quick to serve us and super kind! They have video games in the back and plenty of seating for team parties or bigger families. They also have a great meal deal for families! read more

The story behind Pizzabilities is what drew me to check out this new spot. This is the second location in Santee. The first location is in Alpine. The tag line is "pizza with purpose" this company gives differently abled people a chance to have a job. A place where they are understood in the workplace. That is so important! Now the food - I took my kids. We had 2 pizzas and 1 large salad. To order you select the crust, the sauce, and 2 toppings. Additional toppings are $0.75 each. Specialty crusts are $4- more each. This adds up quick if you want more than 2 toppings. One of my kids requested "pink sauce". Once he explained that he wanted the red sauce and white sauce mixed they obliged with no extra cost. That was a bonus we appreciated greatly. Extra cheese and Basil are considered toppings. So either use them as part of your included toppings or pay more. The salad was good. Crisp plain lettuce with your choice of toppings and dressing. Upon my request they graciously heated up the meatballs for my salad. Nothing overly complicated but just what I was looking for. Or only did the employees help us with our special requests but they were very very good at attending to our needs once we were seated. Food came out one at a time, so be patient it's coming! Pizza had a good crispy bottom crust with a tasty dough. It held its shape well even piled with lots of cheese. Both boys devoured their pizzas. They were hit out of the oven so be careful not to burn your mouth. There are some fun arcade games available in the back to entertain the fidgety ones and tvs for the sports fans. I am happy we visited and enjoyed the ambiance. The purpose behind it truly worth going there for your pizza. We did spend over $50- for our food and 2 drinks. Not something we would regularly spend on a pizza lunch but would go back. read more

So, this place is awesome! The pizzas were kind of small but really good. The people working there were very understanding when I tried to get a job here because the positions were full, and very nice. It wasn't too loud, and being on the autism spectrum with very sensitive hearing, that's saying something lol. Overall pretty great! Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Pizzabilites is the newest restaurant to occupy this space. It has replaced Niccolossi's which was there for a couple of years. While there are many places to grab pizza in Santee. It was missing a build your own personal pizza concept. The menu is rather simple. They make 10 inch pizzas and you pay a base price plus your toppings. There is also Mac and cheese and salad. And a few dessert options. For the pizza there are many custom options including the crust if you're gluten free and you can pick from a few sauces. You are the chef, so the possibilities are endless. I've ordered in person and waited 10 minutes for my pizza . It's very fast even when there was a few people ahead of me. If you prefer to occupy your time playing some arcade games you can purchase a play card and add money to it to access the pinball machines, the race car and a basketball hoop game. The games range in points but on average I think it was $3-$5 per game. The card machine to purchase the games accepts credit card or Apple Pay. So that's nice. Pizzabilities has a large patio and tvs to catch the sports games. They serve alcohol too. It's good for groups and definitely for families or people that all want different things on their pizza. Everyone's get what they want. A tip, they are part of the Costco synergy gift cards which feature local restaurants. Enjoy! read more

We have heard so much about this new pizza place and decided to try then out for dinner. I ordered a pizza with red sauce, pineapple and black olives and a pizza with Alfredo sauce, chicken and bacon. We ordered them online and they were ready within 20 minutes. We arrived at the restaurant for pickup. I noticed the outside of the restaurant looked a little dark, maybe the windows seemed a little dark and looked like they could be closed. My husband went in to pickup the pizza, they greeted him right away and gave my husband our order. My husband says they even opened the box and double checked the order for accuracy, which we felt was awesome because nothing is worse than getting home with food that's not accurate. The pizzas looked great! We got pizzas home and they were very tasty. The middle of the pizzas did seem to be slightly soggy and the toppings were falling off but overall pretty good. They are a bit pricey for a 10 inch pizza but it is understandable since the ingredients is very fresh. read more

Last night I ordered the family meal for my book club. There were five ladies, two big pizzas, Mac and cheese and salad. What a perfect meal and great quantity and quality!! Everything was delicious, ready when I arrived to pick it up and made to order. I love this place, have ordered for delivery several times and it's always wonderful, but hadn't been to their location in Santee yet. The shop is so nice, really clean and organized, and the folks that run it and work there are all so nice. Great experience all around. Thanks Pizzabilities, I love everything you're about!! read more

The food was amazing and the service was great! Always clean inside. Their lunch deals are a great value

Pizzaabilities - Santee, CA I used to come here when it was Nicolosi's and always loved the food, so I was a little surprised to see the change... but wow, what an incredible, refreshing surprise! We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza and a simple pineapple-and-cheese, and both absolutely knocked it out of the park. Perfect crust, great sauce, generous toppings--honestly some of the best pizza I've had in East County in a long time. What makes this place truly special, though, is the mission. Pizzaabilities employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, giving them real jobs and real pride in their work. You can feel the heart the moment you walk in--everyone is so genuinely happy to serve you. It's the kind of business our community needs more of. I'm already planning my next visit because I always order the same two things everywhere I go... time to get adventurous and work my way through the rest of the menu! If you haven't been yet, go support this gem. Amazing pizza + an even better purpose. #Pizzaabilities #SanteeEats #SupportLocal #PizzaWithPurpose Ate the pizza so fast I forgot to take pictures ! read more

This establishment minimizes the need for customer service, but still managed to fail at it. The pizza is good, but you pay slightly more for pizza that is slightly inferior to it's direct competitors. I don't think any of its competitors are in the Santee area, so the price and quality are good enough. My biggest gripe is that they advertised 3 cannolis but only gave me one. They tried to pretend that the 3 cannoli in the picture was too show the 3 different types, but you can clearly see that all 3 pictures are chocolate chip. When I brought it up, I did not get an apology, asked if I wanted a refund, etc. A little customer service goes a long way. Also, the base price of the pizza should be closer to $10. The price of additional toppings is fair. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this pizza shop in Santee! We have been multiple times now and always have Jenn working in the front desk. She is so kind and sweet. Today we had Annie making our pizzas and she was amazing! While the pizzas were being made with the kids, went into the arcade and had some issues with the card reader. The owner came out and allowed the kids to play unlimited games while we were waiting for our pizza. The pizza quality is always the best as well as the quality of the people that work there we will continue to return as often as we can. read more

I was having people over for dinner, so I ordered online. So happy to 16" pizzas available! I asked they be ready at 5:30 p.m. at 5:20 I received a message that they were ready :). I was greeted at the door and welcomed in to the store. The pizzas were ready, boxed and neatly stacked. I had paid online,so no need to wait around. The door was opened for me and I was wished a great evening. The pizzas were delicious (only2 small pieces left over). I did order one 10" pizza as I am allergic to tomatoes. Instead, I asked they use a small amount of olive oil. It was delicious! So glad I know I can eat pizza with friends and family now without taking lots of meds to stop a reaction. Try out Pizzabilities! read more

We were first-time customers visiting on a Sunday around 5:30 PM. Our first impression wasn't great -- the young employee at the register looked a bit lost and unsure of what to do, which made the ordering process a little awkward. We ordered a gluten-free pizza and a side salad, hoping for something fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. The pizza wasn't very good, the salad didn't taste fresh, and our banana peppers were actually burned. For nearly $30 for a small pizza and salad, it just didn't feel worth the price. That said, I really love and respect their mission -- it's wonderful that they provide opportunities for people with disabilities, and the concept of a friendly neighborhood pizza spot with an arcade is such a great idea. They just really need to focus on improving the quality and freshness of the food and making sure the pricing matches the experience. read more

I went with a group of friends and we had the best time! The food is delicious! Hands down one of the best pizzas I think I have ever had! I love that you get to pick your toppings and watch it be assembled right in front of you. The staff is so kind and graciously accommodating. We had a large party and still everyone was able to eat together and then play some fun arcade games. I appreciate that they offer vegetarian and vegan options a well. Cannot wait to go back! read more

We had a team last-minute party and neglected to communicate properly (absolutely my fault). I went in to ask if it would be ok if we brought in a larger party and they went above and beyond in accommodating us. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The custom pizzas were great for our finicky party and we ended up taking an extra one home. We also had one of each of the cannolis which were fantastic. The game room was great for the 10-year olds and was just the right amount of games for them to enjoy. We were customers of the now defunct Nicolosi's and plan on being regular customers of Pizzabilities. Last, but certainly not least... the concept behind this restaurant is one we love and will always support. read more
