Ahhhhhh, my place to feel like family, although I'm not. My usual fare is the antipasto salad - a treat for my eyes and yummy for my belly. Leftovers, too. The veal was outstanding but they no longer can accommodate that dish. I enjoy the chicken and the lasgna. Oh my. Sorry I don't know how to spell the goodies. I *do* know how to eat the delicious foods. Plenty of bread - and I like the atmosphere. They are closed on Monday. They obviously need time to buy more food for us, right. read more

Met some friends for dinner on a Friday night at 5:30 at this place. It's a small mom & pop shop located in a strip mall where at that time, there was not one parking spot available in the lot. So we had to park on the street. Walking in, it has an Old Italy vibe, murals on the walls and wood furniture. Good menu, pizzas, pasta & sandwiches. We ordered multiple dishes: Hot sandwiches, meatballs, garlic bread and antipasto salad. Food came out at different times. The dishes we tried were delicious. However, the service was a bit on the slow side which was a bit awkward in the waiting, especially when our meal had been clearly over and conversations had long subsided. Good place for good Italian food if you have time to kill. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Sorrento's Pizza last Friday night. Pizza was delicious and the dinner salads were large with alot of produce and a huge side of dressing. Service was friendly and attentive. Our waitress was so nice and personable. She even brought us some bread over for with our salads. We got there right before the Friday night rush and cab completely understand why they get such great reviews. We found them on Yelp and will definitely be back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

Sorrento's Pizza - Ham and Pineapple 12" pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Marcos, California

If I lived at the shore house in Jersey, I imagine the food would taste similarly to the food at Sorrentos Pizza. It feels like a home when you walk in with old school furniture. There's a few small Italian ladies who run the place, and were sweet and loud. The pizza was delightful. They pack a lot into the pizza, and I appreciated the sweetness of the marinara sauce. You could also taste the olive oil, so it didn't feel as greasy like other places. I actually really enjoyed the meatball dish. There's a lot packed into the meat. It was tender and paired well with the garlic bread. I think this place is worth checking out and wouldn't mind driving the extra trek to get there from where I live read more

One of my favorite places to get spaghetti and meatballs also serves it with garlic bread. The dish is especially good because they make their spaghetti sauce in-house, and it has a really rich, homemade flavor. It's definitely worth trying if you enjoy classic Italian comfort food. read more

Great family run Italian restaraunt tucked away in a small off the beaten path strip mall in San Marcos. Pasta dishes are tasty. Large portions. Pizza was good. Crust is a bit thicker than I like.

My friend and I ventured out to the west side of San Marcos for lunch one day and found ourselves at Sorrento's. They've been on my radar for a long time. Located in an unassuming strip mall, you'll find plenty of parking. Cute old-school Italian place. Pasta, pizza, daily specials and sweet owners to boot! We opted to share a pasta dish with meatballs. I don't remember the exact type of pasta, but it was in the penne family. Since we shared, they gave us two meatballs. Every meal comes with salad and bread. Perfect! There was plenty. What's an Italian meal without bread? It's another utensil! Service was friendly, very family-like. 5 stars for this hidden gem! read more

Do not order here unless you want your order driving around town for 30 min and over an hour and a half to deliver.... Delivery time kept getting pushed back. Awful. The pizza was so cold and cheese came out in a chunk I wouldn't know if it were good I was so grossed out read more

Hidden in the corner of a plaza, this little mom-and-pop spot is honestly a hidden gem. I ordered the spaghetti with sausage and meatballs along with a pizza, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and with great portion sizes for the price. The spaghetti also came with a salad and bread to start, which was a really nice touch. The ambience feels cozy and welcoming, and the workers were super kind and attentive the whole time. You can tell they care about both the food and the customers. Definitely a spot worth trying if you're looking for good Italian food and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

I just discovered Sorrento's Pizza here in San Marcos and it's amazing! This is the second time I've used them for catering and both times my guests raved about the food! Rita and Nancy, the two sisters who own the restaurant will take great care of you! My charcuterie tray was filled to the brim with sliced meats, cheeses and olives!? And their meatballs -best in North County! You'll also LOVE the restaurant-it's old-school Italian-so charming! Have them cater your next party-or take the family for an amazing Italian dinner! read more

Sorrento's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Marcos, California

Great mom and pops place. Warm and inviting and the Pizza was amazing. And they have old school lolly pops for the kids.

For old school Italian Pizza and Pasta, this place is Authentic. We ordered their sausage pizza and it was hot, cheesy, and delicious. The inside reminded me of the Italian restaurants I grew up with as a kid in the Midwest. Service was very friendly and attentive as we had multiple servers stop by our table to check on things throughout our meal. Check it out if you in the area, you will enjoy it. read more

This restaurant is located in a small strip mall. It has a cozy old school feel. We were greeted and seated immediately upon getting in the door. The seating is a little tight, but wasn't a big deal. The server was quick to take our drink order, being the drinks and take our food orders. The food was delicious, and had a homemade feel about it. The place closes at 8pm, so make sure you get there with time to eat. Most of the restaurant had cleared out about that time, so we left as well. read more

Great spot! Ordered dinner for two and it did not disappoint! Huge portions and had left overs. Pizza was perfect size and I recommend added pepperoni and sausage. The meal came with two salads and pastas not to mentioned a bunch of bread. Sauce was a little sweet for us but overall would definitely be back and highly recommend. You can feel the love in every bite you take! read more

This was a cute little place. You can tell that everyone that came in before and after us were regulars. I wanted to try something new in area. Looks like maybe 1 server here and plenty of help from others (this was for the night we visited could have been an off night) I ordered the chicken parmigiana, kids ordered pizza and spaghetti. Chicken parm was so yummy. There was a sweetness's to it that was great. It was super cheesy which I loved. My food was technically the Wednesday/Thursday special. It came with salad, bread, chicken parm with spaghetti. The kids spaghetti was big! I split between my 5&3yo. My son ordered the pizza. Pizza was nice and cheesy like they love. We would definitely return. read more

Perfection!! Sometimes I don't want a huge pizza that will take me days to finish, that's when it's time for Sorrentos!! First of all, quality is great. Second, their pricing is so reasonable!! I really love the menu options, and for someone who typically is ordering a pizza for 1, I really appreciate the mini pizza. read more

An absolute gem, which appears to be ran by two beautiful women that really know how to make you feel welcome and make delicious Italian food. The Tuesday spaghetti special is one hell of a deal, nice portion with lots of delicious garlic bread to go along with your meal. Highly suggest the plain/meatless sauce; it's heavenly, balanced, and very tasty! The inside has an old school feel to it and is super clean and tidy. read more

We were excited to try this place thanks to all of the great reviews so we came for pizza for dinner. Service was a bit slow and chaotic but it was friendly and we were in no rush so it was fine. The women running the place were kind and charming and that was great. However, while the pizza was loaded with toppings (we had the deluxe), it was disappointingly bland. We took the rest home for our kids but I can't imagine we'll come here again, at least not for pizza. Maybe something else. read more

I come once a year and every time for decades the food has been delicious, Spaghetti,Ravioli and Pizza are the best, just like homemade.

Ok...TOTAL YUM!!!!! I have been on the hunt for decent pizza here in San Marcos since moving here 6 years ago. Is actually given up and had just started making my own pizza at home. But that's tedious, time consuming, and a little messy. Since I'm currently working crazy hours, I don't have it in me to make pizza at the mo. A coworker recommended Sorrento's to me about a week ago. And tonight I gave them a try. Holy cow!!! I wish I'd discovered this little diamond in the rough sooner. I called in my order for pick up. I Drove over, waited a couple of minutes, and took my fresh pizza and garlic bread home. It was SO GOOD! I'm talking a big, super-cheesy, covered with fresh veggies, hot and gooey pizza from heaven. They have an adorable dining room too, and serve lots of other Italian-American classics like pasta and salads. So if you want to order in and have a nice sit down meal, they do that too. I've found my new pizza home. read more

Second Visit 6/25/2022 This place is as amazing as it gets. Rita and sister Nancy have been serving great home Italian cooking for over 46 years. Rita still comes in every morning to freshly make her famous Pasts Sauce her way 6 (Closed Mondays) days a week. This has to be the cleanest restaurant I've ever been in. Rita is a stickler for everything to be cleaned everyday. The ambience is magnificent and your treated like your family. The food ie alway made to order with the freshest ingredients. I highly recommend trying the magnificent Antipasto Salad, The Handmade Meatball's, The Italian Sausage, The Works Pizza, and the Garlic Bread with Hot Homemade Pasta Sauce. Exquisite. Everything I've had here has been marvelous. Taking Leftovers Home is a great idea. Tell the Lady's I said hi. They are so sweet. read more
