This restaurant is advertising as a side business, "Veggie Melt Pizza Studio," on all of the food delivery 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. read more

THE WORST PLACE EVER!!!! I cant believe I ordered myself a large pizza, payed $16.50 for it and the place WILL NOT GIVE ME BUT 2 small packages of crushed peppers. 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!!!! read more

Shinar's Pizza Market - The White Pizza - Pizza Near Me - El Cajon, California

When I arrived to pick up my pizza, I took a look at it and it was thin crust. I asked for a thick crust and this one is a thin crust so I asked the manager this is not that crust I ordered and it's not cutting slices and cutting them in squares, That's not the crust I wanted and he didn't care if I bought this pizza or not. If you love your kids and family go somewhere else for pizza. I can't imagine the manager like this guy that did not care if you purchased the pizza or not? Purchasing a pizza that you ordered personally, that's a sign of a Place that needs a manager with common sense sorry to see this place going downhill like this. read more

Used them 5+ years. Will NEVER use again! Ordered the Margherita Pizza an a Gyro. The Pizza was burnt black on the bottom, not the first time. The Gyro/ Fries/ CucumberSauce had a very strange taste that after 2 bites resulted into a 6 hour stomache pain. Called to request another pie because the first one was burnt. Never mentioned the Gyro because I had not ate it yet. 30 min time frame for original order/ showed up 90 min later. When communicated about the burnt pizza they said they are sending another one out. This was at 7pm. 8:50 called business about this and was put on hold for 2 minutes then hung up on. I will be calling the Health dept. and report. Please spend your money elsewear. After seeing other reviews I will be calling the Health Dept. read more

Best pizza in town guaranteed might even be the best in San Diego! Dave portnoy needs to review

So my family and I have been having food delivered a lot lately . We have been pretty disappointed by several places in El Cajon . The food from a lot of food delivery places has been cheaply made , yet priced high . So you can imagine how happy we were when Shinars food was delivered to us and it was appropriate portions with good flavor . . If you're looking to have food delivered and don't like the idea of having crap food sent to your home , then call Shinars . It's not the best food you will ever have . However, it's great to order here when you just don't feel like cooking or picking something up. read more

First, I ordered through the app "Slice", big mistake. They sent me a notice saying my order was received and being prepared. Next, I get a notice saying the order didn't go through, that the restaurant didn't confirm the order. 20 minutes later I'm getting a phone call telling me my food is outside. In the meantime, my wife ordered food for us and we couldn't cancel the order. OK, now about the food. I ordered the Chicken Parm on Penne Pasta. The pasta was overcooked and full of water. The marinara sauce is dry and gummy, the chicken is cut in cubes, not strips, and is very dry. Where is the Parnassian Cheese? I got about a teaspoon full on a generous portion of the dish. And who puts sauce on top of the cheese? My wife got the Lasagna and said it was below average. I tasted some and thought the Stouffers is better. I'm done with "Slice and Shinar's, Sorry. read more

Shinar's Pizza Market - Gyro pizza - Pizza Near Me - El Cajon, California

Just ordered from there & our food was spoiled! The Alfredo Sauce must have been bad or bad cheese but it taste sour . Also ordered a gyro plate and the sauce was sour as well or ingredients must not be fresh . Poorly made & there's no reason my sauce should be sour and stinky like that! Smh. read more

Both of our pizzas (supreme and meat lovers) were very well made. Plenty of cheese and toppings. The crust was normal but I like NY styler, so I didn't eat the crust. Veggies were fresh and crisp. Meats were full of flavor. Sauce was good, a bit above average, no complaints. Italian sub was fine maybe slightly high on the price. We would order it again but maybe on flat bread instead of the traditional French roll. It was too much bread for our taste. Lastly we ordered the chef salad. It looked delicious full of meat and cheese. Hand picked a couple veggies, they tasted great, crisp, and fresh. However, our major complaint and the reason for four stars is they forgot to give us our balsamic dressing. So as of this writing we haven't tasted the salad yet. read more

Overall terrible time with this place. At first I ordered their "deal 3" which was : a 28in pizza, 8 wings, and a 2-liter soda. ($31.99 +Tax) but I was rang up for just the 28in pizza which on the menu is valued at $34.95 + Tax. The prices are odd, I know . So the delivery driver had to stop by my house 2 separate times to fix things. BUT it doesnt stop there. This isnt the worst part yet. The pizza had a funny sweet taste without us having any sweet toppings. We ended up getting bad food poisoning from it. Even after recovering from the food poisoning about w day later, I thought maybe it wasnt the pizza and tried it again. I was wrong. I would NOT recommend this place.... read more

See the pizza for the quality I just received. Also salad dressing spilled in bag, soda was flatter than sponge bobs ass, it was absolutely disgusting.

LOVE THE WHITE PIZZA!! Trust me, the pizza is good. The crust, the cheese, it's fresh hot and easy. The white pizza with feta, mozzarella, garlic, oregano, and olive oil is addictingly craveable. They've made vast renovations to their kitchen area and the chef is a cool dude that makes good pizza. It's pizza to the point. They also deliver alcohol if you order food!! read more

Shinar's Pizza Market - Baja ca pizza - Pizza Near Me - El Cajon, California

Short story: Terrible customer service, pizzas delivered a mess and reconciliation was half-assed at best. Will never order from here again. Try Testo Pepesto instead. Story: Was delivered two pizzas (delivered by Shinar Pizza Market). Both had toppings dropping to one side as if they had been dropped or lay slanted for an extended period of time. I called GrubHub (where the order was placed) to get the order straightened out at which point Shinar offered to replace the ordered. I accepted, opting to give the company another chance. Even though a pizza should never be delivered in that condition & by the company no less. GrubHub told me that Shinar would redo the order but wanted to take back the original order (why would I waste my time on long holds to lie about a pizza I've been waiting 70 minutes for? I guess it happens). The guy comes within 20 minutes, I'm thinking, 'Wow they're quick to fix this!' nope. They came to collect the pizzas only and after viewing the pizza he offered to replace only one. Because only one of the slices on the other pizzas (now about 40 minutes old) was ruined. After going back and forth with him and his poor attempt at social interaction, let alone customer service, he takes both pizzas. Only to bring back the same, 1 slice ruined, reheated pizza 2hrs+ later. I nodded at him to get rid of him and took the pizzas. Now I'm leaving this passive aggressive review in hopes to save some other poor souls from a tremendous waste of their time and money for mediocre pizza. read more

First off, my girlfriend and I haven't even had a chance to tase this pizza because it's been 1hr and 45mins that we've been waiting for it to be delivered. She placed the order and was told it would arrive in 45mins. We called them just to simply ask what the status of the order was and we were told the driver should be coming to our apt shortly. Well guess what, still no pizza. We call back because my girlfriend is leaving for work, and we're told the driver is one mile away. Well, again still no pizza. I'm good with never having this pizza place again. First and last time we'll be ordering from here. Pizza gets here and the delivery guy didn't know we paid with card. He called this place and had to give our card number again! He also didn't bring us a receipt, or anything to sign for. I know the lowest I can go is one star, but I rank this to beyond negative stars. read more

This is my FAVORITE pizza shop! We order over the phone and have the most delicious food at our door in 30 minutes. The pizza is not greasy, has boat loads of flavor and is always hot upon arrival. The customer service is fantastic. I highly recommend. read more

We moved here from new York 20 yrs. ago and we have been ordering from China Pizza and it is much better than New York pizza!!

Pizza delivery was early and order was DELICIOUS. Had Supreme pizza, antipasto salad, drink and chocolate cake. Pizza was done perfectly with fresh ingredients-very tasty! Salad came with dressing on the side-just the way it should be. read more

This is a great pizza place. I have two favorites. One in Mira Mesa called Knockout Pizza and Shinars. Shinarsis by my house so this is where we order from at home. They have great pizzas, sandwiches and salads. I am soooo in love with there wings. I love getting the hot ones. They also offer other items like beer, wine, smokes and whatever you want (the pizza place is in a liquor store). So it makes it easy. One thing I liked was that they don't gouge you when you order those extras. Also they have fast delivery and the pizzas are always delivered Hot! read more

Excellent!! Ordered a large pepperoni pizza w/ fresh basil, extra sauce and a side of mozz. sticks. We called the order in, which was easy enough. While on the phone I asked if my crust could be made "thin, NY style" the guy said he knew exactly what I meant and said no problem. We picked up the food, and it was bomb! Exactly how I ordered it and the crust had that perfect light, fluffy, slightly and deliciously charred on the very outside. Soooo good and super fresh! Also, the mozz sticks stayed hot for FORVER. Idk how, but they did lol. Def will be back!! read more

We've ordered from Shinars several times. I have to say they have the BEST pizza and wings in town! The wings are crispy and meaty. Not to mention they deliver and it's always hot and fresh. Tonight we ordered a 16 piece wings (8 teriyaki and 8 sweet chili) both amazing, and onion rings that were crispy and flavorful. We also ordered a large chicken Alfredo pizza and added feta cheese, very delicious, and my new favorite. Thanks to shinars for making good comfort food!! read more

this place is really good. They have everything, if you live near El Cajon its better if you just drive there, theres no traffic on the way.

I went to go pick up my food as seen one of the clumsy employees drop the readings on the floor and pick it back up now leave and rinse it and take it straight to the tray for it to be prepared for the customer absolutely disgusting Don't go here unless you want to get sick or you like floor droppings add it to your wings or other dinners possibly read more

First this place always appears filthy or atleast not clean at all. Ive tried chicken,burgers,pizza and all were what you would consider ok but nothing that you would go out of your way to eat.Some people might like the food but it has never tasted that terrific to me and never go there for prepared foods. The market has an assortment of foods that are good that are boxed or caned which I would buy if hungry. Also,the manager never really seems friendly when ordering and it appears to be a task for him. I say try elsewhere unless this is your only choice. The place disappointed me on several occasions with the food. read more

Shinar is shnazzzzy. It's difficult to get pleased with delivery in San Diego.... Pizza? So typical Chinese? Good luck. Liquor? Huh?? Shinar's is a one of a kind place that makes fresh specialty pizza, hot sandwiches, subs, salads, pastas, and appetizers along with delivering a pack of Marlboro Lights, a bottle of Grey Goose, a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos and a Snickers bar. You read correctly: a pizza joint that doubles as a liquor store which DELIVERS beer, liquor, cigarettes, groceries...and of course pizza. Jealous? You should be. read more

So disappointed in this place. After a super long day of work the boyfriend and I really did not want to go get groceries, so we figured we'd just order food from here since we've had the the flyer for a couple months. On paper it looks great, they have literally everything, and it's all super cheap. For. A. Reason. My boyfriend ordered spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and Mozzarella sticks. When I went to put the spaghetti on a plate about a whole cup of water just poured onto the plate...there was literally no sauce, like maybe a tablespoon on the whole thing. The side of garlic bread was huge and completely STALE. The mozzarella sticks he says were the "worst he's ever eaten" and trust me, he eats everything. I ordered the turkey club and I couldn't even get through half of it cause it was stale and the meat and cheese and everything on it tasted rubbery and cheap as hell. I'm really confused as to how this place has so many good reviews...other than the fact that a lot of them are old, it has definitely changed for the worse. Save your money and yourself and order from somewhere else. $33 later and we are still hungry and disappointed. Even the cats wouldn't eat this nonsense. read more

shyyyyyyyy gnarrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to make fun of my babe when he would tell me that he eats pizza from Shinar. Ok ok, I grew up in "Rancho San Diego", and not El Cajon so the closest my mom would let me get to pizza was Round Table. She said everything else was a filthy grease trap and the cooks probably lost a band aid or two in the mix. My sheltering mother... burning fear into my pizza-loving teenage heart. Then one fateful night I had a few beers at Kelly's and decided I wanted pizza. We walked to Shinar with no fear in our hearts about being mugged/raped/made fun of, ordered a couple slices to go, and parked ourselves outside in the dirty parking lot to devour the beast of a slice. DEElish. And I didn't contract a disease, Mom! It was probably better with a beer cushion, but I have since been back and its not bad. I prefer the slice over ordering an actual pizza. I did that once and it was a nasty soggy "grease trap". I think they pre-make the slices and then heat them up on a stone with your topping of choice so everything comes out kind of twice baked and crispy... my favorite. Do you think I could just order like, 12 slices instead of a pizza? read more

One star? Wish I could give this place no stars. Let's start with the food, it sucks. If you wanna get it delivered, it will always take over an hour. And if you go there and order, you're gonna have to hang out for at least twenty min. All for what? Crappy excuses for burgers/pizza that are drenched with so much grease and sauce that you can barely identify what you're actually eating. And for customer service, have fun interacting with whichever creep ends up ringing you up. Call me "sweetheart" or "honey" one more time. Seriously. Oh, and the liquor AND "grocery" supply are both extremely limited and WAY overpriced. So basically, there is NOTHING good about this place. Save your time and money and head two seconds farther down the street to 7-11 or Bradley Liquor. They might not have pizza, but it's no big loss when Shinar's pizza leaves you in the bathroom for hours after you eat it. I have given this place more tries than it deserves, and it has never redeemed itself. Hopefully I can help other people avoid making my same mistake! read more

Awesome pizza and yummy beer breaded onion rings! The crew here are so helpful and fun, always smiling :-)

Fillippi's pizza is definitely my number one sit down pizza restaurant, but when it comes to take out, Shinars over anyone! A large pizza is $5 and change (the same as little ceasers) but you get the quality of almost Fillippi's. I wouldn't give this place nothing under 5 stars. Yeah it's location might scare some people, get over it. If someone wanted to hurt you, location doesn't matter. Don't judge a book by its cover, I would recommend the take out combo: large pizza, freshly made bread sticks and a 2liter soda. Did I mention they deliver! But wait there's more....you can now have pizza and any of there local craft beers brought to your door step! (: read more

Normally, I throw away the abundance of hang-tags that end up on my doorknob throughout the week. For some reason, I didn't throw away the one from Shinar Market this week, figuring it might come in handy at some point, since they not only deliver pizza, but also sandwiches & hamburgers... and groceries! Flash foward a few days: I'm sick with a plague of some sort. This evening, I awoke from a ridiculously long nap with something I haven't had in a couple days: an appetite! I don't feel like cooking, I'm out of Diet Coke (OMG), and I really need some food in my stomach before I down a few shots of NyQuil to combat this sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, and fever currently effing up my world. Didn't I put some sort of flyer on the fridge for some place that delivers? I should give it a shot! After waiting for over an hour for my food to arrive, I discovered that I have never made a worse decision when it comes to food. As for delivery, I paid with a credit card. The delivery dude didn't receive that info and expected cash payment. Not a huge deal, but still a bit confusing for him. Though, I'm not sure what caused his confusion in thinking that it was okay to step into my doorway when I turned away (not moving my feet from just inside the doorway) to grab a pen to sign the receipt. Sorry, dude, but you need to stay out of my doorway, out of my home, and back the hell up. At 9:30PM, being a woman home alone, you're really lucky I didn't pull the baseball bat sitting just behind my door on you. The delivery time and experience wasn't the only bad taste in my mouth. My cheeseburger was the worst burger I've ever had. They used American cheese (who the hell uses American cheese on a $6 cheeseburger? I mean, really!) and it looked like the lettuce, onions, ketchup, and mustard had been whisked together in a bowl and slopped on with a spoon. The tomatoes looked nearly rotten. The burger was undercooked and the bun fell apart immediately, due to be drenched with goodness knows what. While there was a decent portion of fries, like my burger's bun, they were also soggy and cold. If they hadn't slightly resembled fries, aesthetically, I'd have thought they were Cherrios left in a bowl for a few hours. Luckily, I didn't have to starve. I dug through my freezer and found a box of Hot Pockets. I'm afraid to try the tuna sandwich I ordered, so that I could have breakfast tomorrow. I may have to drag my fevered ass out of bed in the morning and pray to freezer gods to provide me with additional Hot Pockets. I'm not sure I'll ever be using Shinar again, even for alcohol delivery, as much as I miss Pink Dot up in Los Angeles... I'm not sure I want to be faced with having some dude in my doorway, looking around my home, and invading my personal space. At least my twelve-pack of Diet Coke was cold when it arrived. At $25, this better be some damned good Diet Coke, since nothing else was worth paying for. I expect it to make me feel 100% better by tomorrow. EDIT: It's now one week later and am barely recovering from the worst flu I've had in over a decade. That Diet Coke was NOT the antidote I was looking for. Definitely a wasted $25. read more

This hole in the wall liquor store in a pretty shitty area has the best damn pizza around for miles!!!! I have been here a few times. The first two times I thought it must be a fluke to have such good and inexpensive pizza. Nope!!! No fluke, just damn good pizza.

Check it out, wade through the El Cajon denizens and have some great tasting pizza; you won't be sorry! read more

I used to love this place, it's sad to see what crap it turned into. Let's start with the staff! The female that works there is rude as hell! I called to ask when to expect my order, due to ordering online. My confirmation stated that it would be there between 30-45 min. She immediately gets an attitude and says " Ma'am I told you that it was 45 min to an hour!" I said, " uh no you didn't because I ordered online." There was no apology she kept going making excuses and being rude.The delivery driver arrived and was very nice and apologetic for the girl and the confusion with the timing. Moving on to the food. The "Mild wings" too hot! Please don't call them mild unless they screwed up and gave spicy. The Chicken Parm is terrible! Dry and the chicken is cut into chunks and over cooked (by a lot). Barely any cheese (WTF)!! In the instructions I asked for lots of ketchup and a side of ranch and we got nothing. They didn't even give a fork or napkins! Whatever is happening over there it needs to be fixed and fast. They already lost me as a customer. read more
