    Margherita Pizza, Mushroom Pizza
    Andrew G.

    The place was nice inside. I liked the music. There was a large variety of pies to choose from. My pizza was pretty good the cheese was a bit gummy and the crust was a bit underwhelming. I wasn't mad at it but it didn't make it into the list of favorites around San Diego.

    The last time we went to the Burger Joint, Dee the owner suggested we try the Pizza Joint in the same strip mall. We finally ordered a pizza to go and it was great, The crust is thin and tasty with just the right amount of sauce. Too much sauce and you have a soggy crust. We had the Rolls Royce - lots of toppings 3 kinds of meat, sausage, pepperoni, salami and veggies- onions, peppers, mushroom and olives.

    Special Combos

    Without a doubt the best pizza in San Diego, the dough is very crispy, great variety of appetizers! Every Sunday beer at 4$

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Comparable to BHC in Korea!…read more Their speciality is the Bburinkle cheese powder which is pretty sweet, so you'll either love it or feel questionable. I got the wings which were HUGE pieces and batter was super crispy. They very generously coat the chicken and cheese ball in the cheese dust. The cheese balls are my favorite menu item, but I would prefer getting it without the powder to taste it on its own!! You must eat it fresh for the best cheese pull. I recommend getting the Bburing yogurt sauce to balance the sweetness from the powder. I went around early evening (~4ish) and place was pretty empty with a few walk ins here and there. Atmosphere was clean and felt sanitary as the workers constantly wiped the tables down around us throughout dining in. The servers were extremely nice, informative when asking questions, and they let us try a small sample of seasoning powder before ordering to see the spice level! Overall, great service and great food! BHC is one of the better Korean fried chicken chains in the states

I always get the wings, obviously. My favorite flavor is the Bburinkle wings. It's such a unique flavor, super savory, cheesy, and just ridiculously good. I also love the Bburinkle chips. Those things are dangerous. Their Macho King flavor is another favorite of mine when I want something a little different. One warning though: 16 wings is A LOT. These wings are heavy, rich, and decadent, so don't underestimate them. I always think I can crush the whole order and then halfway through I realize I may have made a mistake. Amazing chicken, great flavors, friendly staff, and absolutely worth it.

After ten minutes or so I was given my "to go" order and went on my way. Unfortunately, I didn't check my order before I left. After driving about 45 minutes from the restaurant I opened my order. The fried dumplings were great and still very warm. When I opened the Kung Pao Chicken it was then that things went sideways. Even though my order ticket says Kung Pao Chicken someone in the kitchen decided to give me two orders of Kung Pao Beef. I was too far from the restaurant to return my order so we ate it. It was hot, had good spice level, great taste but it was BEEF not CHICKEN as I ordered.

Seating: Limited seating you're moreover better sitting outside using the plaza tables/chairs. Vibes: The spot itself is nothing too flashy, your typical Mira Mesa plaza with plenty of good eateries. The restaurant itself is your casual Filipino turo-turo/point point feel. It's decorated with Filipino decor and food, every space used up. Great place for a quick food adventure or family order. FOOD Sisig (Recommend) Masarap! This sisig hit differently, rather than fried and crispy I felt they used different parts of the pork. Then mixed with onions, seasoning and citrus flavors. I enjoyed the textures and the comfort to it. Fried Chicken (Recommend) Another comforting dish - crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned well rounded. Nothing overly complicated or trying to reinvent fried chicken--just straightforward familiarity. CUSTOMER SERVICE Awesome! Friendly people and quick services. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good portions, reasonable prices, and comforting Filipino food without all the extras. Nanay's Best BBQ feels appropriately named. There's something familiar about walking up to a counter filled with Filipino dishes, choosing your ulam, loading up some rice/garlic rice/noodles, and sitting down to a hearty meal.

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.

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.
