    Buffalo Chicken Pizza Sausage Pizza
    Ari E.

    I came in after testing out a new mount so I can use GPS. I was cold since I forgot my jacket at home and hungry as well. Service was straight forward and the pizza is incredible as always.

    So good! We stopped here after a long afternoon of furniture shopping, and the Pizza Joint is conveniently located near all the big furniture shops! My family split a few pieces of pizza, a burger, and the chicken strips. Everything was so delicious. The man working behind the counter was very helpful with navigating all the menu options. The restaurant itself is clean, and they even had high chairs. We will be back!

    My kids could eat pizza all day, every day, but they're also very basic cheese pizza. One of them will try new toppings, but almost always ends up back at cheese. My wife likes different toppings but ends up eating only 2 slices and I'm left with the rest. What makes this place work for me: * I can get several different sliced pizzas. * Great combo deals with a fountain drink (choose 1, 2, or 3 slices) * Beer and pizza slice deals. I wish Heineken was available on draft. * Free parking * Military parking How to order: * You order at the counter. They bring it out to you. Slices are already made, heated fast, and generously topped. Perfect when your basic kids want cheese and you want an adult pizza. This is one of those places that just works for families. Cheese pizza kiddos are happy, adventurous eaters have options, and I can actually enjoy something without having to worrying about having to eat a whole pizza. Fast, filling, casual, and stress-free.

    Came back here with my buddy's and man oh man. Got the garlic knots again and we shared the buffalo fries ! Both so amazing! We got the Hailey's comet that had halal pepperoni. We loved the chipotle chicken also. But our favorite was the margarita highly recommend 10/10. You won't be disappointed.

    AWARENESS: My son and I recently stayed in the Miramar area and were looking for new and highly rated places to eat on the Yelp app when we came across The Pizza Joint reviews. NARRATIVE: Walking in to the Pizza Joint, I was glad to see they sell pizzas by the slice. As you can see by the pictures I posted, there pizza slices come in many, many options. I ordered three slices and the drink combo which came in just around $20 bucks. All the pizza slices are heated to a crispy and hot temperature and they are not stingy with their slices or toppings. I tried the; Baron''s NY Special, the Murder Scene and the Bronx Bomber and I'd have to say, my favorite of all three was the Murder Scene. Not the best sliced pizza I've had but, not the worst by any means. SCENE: The Pizza Joint is located in the same strip mall as; The Burger Joint & Brew and the Royal Cigar Lounge right off of Miramar Rd. RECOMMENDATION(S): Good spot for a quick, easy and cheaper pizza option. Recommended.

    I really liked the bbq chicken pizza. We went on a sunday after the movies in mira mesa and it was a great spot. Plenty of parking and easy access. Would love to come back and try the chicken pesto pizza. Service was attentive and I cant wait to come back

    Flyin' Hawaiian and AleSmith blonde
    Roxanne L.

    Lawd jeezus a slice from this place hits really satisfies . I am not a fan of pineapple and ham pizza or big on ranch, but their Flyin Hawaiian is a sweet, savory, spicy blend that will have your lips tingling, mouth watering , and your soul will absolutely sing with joy. Not to mention they have a selection of local and not so local beers on tap. The service is great, atmosphere is lively.. give this place a shot.

    Condiments (chili flakes, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder)

    Stumbled upon this pizza place on a Monday night around 8:45pm. There was a big sign that said 20% off for Military Mondays so since my boyfriend is a veteran we came in for a bite. We ordered 2 Pepperoni Jalapeno pizza slices, a Hawaiian slice, a Combination slice, and a soda for about $20 total with the discount. There was plenty of seating available and the slices were heated up and came out quickly! I liked that they offered oregano and garlic powder as condiments, and the fountain drinks had unique flavors! There was pineapple cream soda, vanilla cream, root beer, and black cherry. I got a kick out of mixing them, I mixed the vanilla cream with the root beer to mimic a root beer float :0) My boyfriend really appreciated the Military Monday discount so we'll definitely be coming back for it!

    The Pizza Joint is a late night treat for takeout pizza and calzones near Miramar/Mira Mesa. Their pizzas, calzones, and strombolis are large & they've been consistent for pickup orders for me over the past three years. They are convenient and made to order. They offer some inside seating, online ordering, and there is open lot parking. The parking lot also has Tesla charging stations in front of the restaurant.

    12/28/2024.  Pizza by the slice display case.  It's $4.50 per slice; $9.50 for two slices with a soda; or $13 for two slices with a beer.
    Jeff F.

    TPJ has tip-top pizzas and service. Here are the details... 12/28/2024. I've arrived here when they've opened at 10:00 am and they had fifteen different pizzas in the display case that were ready for purchase by the slice. It's $4.50 per slice and they have a deal at $9.50 for two slices with a cup for their soda fountain, or $13 for two slices with a beer. Chicken bacon ranch pizza by the slice: as expected, this slice didn't disappoint due to the combination of grilled chicken, smoked bacon, ranch sauce, and oregano that created harmonious flavors, 5/5 stars! Capo pizza by the slice: this meat trio of peperoni, sausage, and meatballs is perfect for carnivores. Combined with the zesty sauce and soft internal doughy crust that has a slight crispy exterior. If this just had more cheese, it would've been perfect. Thus, my rating is 4/5 stars. The service was just as spectacular. From the moment we've walked in, the gentleman greeted us with "good morning." He was ready to take our order at the front counter. I asked for his recommendation on pizza slices based on my preferences and he mentioned that capo is popular, while the bacon ranch pizza is their best seller. It took only about 2 minutes for the pizza slices to warm up and he delivered them to our table. Without us asking, he provided a small pizza box for a fam member's leftover pizza slice. The pizza was as tasty as anticipated, while the remarkable service was a welcoming surprise.

    Undercooked. Was basically half cooked.
    Peter L.

    Pizza was undercooked. Dough was almost raw. Very little sauce. Not recommended. Paulys Pizza Joint a few blocks away is much better with similar prices. A bit odd that 2 pizza places have similar names so close to each other.

    Bronx Bomber Pie
    Coleen R.

    Checked out The Pizza Joint in Miramar and was not disappointed! We ordered the Bronx Bomber pizza along with some garlic knots, and both were delicious. The pizza had a great balance of flavors, with quality toppings and a nice crust--not too thick or thin. The garlic knots were a solid addition, perfectly garlicky and soft. If you're in the area and craving a good pizza, I'd definitely recommend giving The Pizza Joint a try!

    Best Korean fried chicken we've ever had! We came here after SeaWorld, and everything was amazing…read more The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and served piping hot and fresh. The seasoning was perfect, the portions were huge, and the prices were very reasonable. Our server, Austin, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.

Our server was really nice and personable and challenged us all to finish it (spoiler we did finish but wouldn't do it again). The cheese balls and fries were all bburinkle flavor. The cheese balls were really good fresh as the cheese was melty. For the chicken we got 2 bburinkle flavor, 1 spicy bburinkle, 1 sweet and spicy, and 1 soy garlic. The chicken pieces were quite large. The spicy bburinkle is pretty spicy, it doesn't seem like it at first but the heat builds. The sweet and spicy was really just sweet but tasted a bit... bland? Wasn't what I was expecting. I think we had a bit too much bburinkle but it was my first time trying the flavor and the only way I can describe it is if sweet corn and cheese flavors got married. The party platter also came with a side of pickled radish and some salad/veggie. Our server came over a few times to check on us but water refills were lacking. I eventually just asked to have a pitcher at our table as we were constantly running out of water. Overall this was good for a large party and next time I would try their rose tteokbokki.

I worry about the food hall as it has seen multiple businesses start up and then fold because of the inconsistent customer volume. I think it's a nice stop for those who work nearby and want to pick up lunch from one of the vendors. After working hours however, it becomes a ghost town which has led to the closure of the two eateries that were set up directly in front of the food hall. I came by a month ago to pick up some food to go. The main menu had four to six choices in the categories of appetizers, sides, soups, vegetables, chow mein, and fried rice. The protein-based entrees featured BBQ pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Of these, chicken had the most available selections. There was also a separate menu listing the daily specials. Nearly all of them cost less than $10 and then you could add an appetizer and fountain drink for an additional $4.85. My pick was the BBQ Pork Chow Mein. The black takeout container was filled and given to me in about ten minutes. The portion size was decent for the price which was less than $15. The pork pieces were on the fattier side. The flavor wasn't too salty as some places can load up on MSG, but that wasn't the case here. The quality of this item was middle of the road average which was why I gave a three star rating for my takeout experience at Little Chef.

    Went here for lunch on a friend's recommendation. I got 10 wings with a side of dirty ranch…read more The wings were excellent! I could tell they're cooked to order; they're really tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Flavors were really good and not too drenched. I got mango habanero and the Seoul flavor. They were relatively mild, which I was surprised by since mango habanero is usually pretty hot. The dirty ranch is a must! Inside was super casual, you order at a counter and bus your own table. Overall, I highly recommend this place for its wings!

    So I can't speak for the entire menu, but I have to shout out the Dirty Chicken Fries Tots --…read morethey're absolutely amazing. I love the whole concept: crispy tots, seasoned chicken, ranch, and all the good stuff loaded together. It's messy, flavorful, and exactly what I crave when I want comfort food. I'd give those fries an easy 8.5/10, and honestly, they're the main reason I keep coming back. Now for the rest of the experience: I first visited Dirty Birds back in 2022 and tried their wings. I think they're often listed as a local favorite, but they just weren't it for me. Maybe it was the flavor I chose or just an off day -- not sure. Unless someone else gets them and I try a bite, I probably wouldn't go for them myself. Customer service was just okay. Not rude, just kind of... meh. The workers were young and It didn't feel like anyone was especially engaged or welcoming. On the bright side, the signs around the place are actually pretty funny (especially the water one), and there's plenty of seating, which is a big plus. One thing I didn't love was the shared restroom setup. Even though the door closes, I personally didn't feel super comfortable using it. If you're into sports, this is probably your vibe -- they had games playing and a group fully tuned in when I was there. Prices are fair, and I'd still be open to exploring more of the menu in the future. Bottom line: If you're gonna try anything here, make it the Dirty Chicken Fries Tots -- they're 100% the star of the show.
