    Crazy deals! Very affordable and too good!
    Joshua D.

    Absolutely the best pizza in town for all of the right reasons this place is a must try! The service we can start there top notch fast, friendly and helpful. Chevy is just the kind of person you want to support genuine and cares about his business and it shows plus works very hard! The place is super clean and helpful also has the liquor store next door that has everything if they don't have it ask him they will bring it in for you. They carry Happy Dad which makes me Happy! Now back to the pizza I got the Gyro pizza which was just amazing plenty of toppings so I could only eat a couple of slices and my wife loved it and she could only eat one slice. The ingredients are quality and the presentation is something you would see in a fine dining restaurant. The kicker is the place is extremely affordable too inexpensive of you ask me. If you live within 45 mins of this place you should come get a couple of items and make sure to stop in next door to grab a drink too!

    Great addition to the neighborhood, fast and friendly service. The pizza was amazing, loaded with chicken, bacon, and a delicious drizzle of ranch. They've got a nice variety and a cool mural on the wall!

    Sweet teriyaki wings

    I got the Supreme Pizza and the sweet teriyaki wings and it tasted incredible. Very fast service and my husband 100% approved. We will def order again and so happy we have a go-to pizza place in the area now.

    Cheese bread

    This food is AMAZING!! Pizza like no other!! Super friendly, clean environment and very fast! All their stuff is fresh and they don't skimp with anything. My favorite is the cheese bread! This picture doesn't even describe how delicious it is. You have got to give it all a try for yourself!

    Wonderful. Eggplant had good flavor maybe could've been cooked a bit longer…read more Pasta good. Pizza good. Clean tables ... plenty of seating to eat indoors.

    Wanted to LOVE this place so bad because it's walking distance to us but we finally tried it…read moretonight and - no. We won't be ordering again sadly. It was expensive (over $70 for 2 18-in pizzas) and all 4 adults agreed it was bland. We got the rosemary potato and margherita, which was especially bad. There were actually sections on the marg with no cheese at all - just sauce on dough, and the fresh mozz used was so sparingly it wasn't even detectable. (My 2 year old however, loved it, because she usually pulls the cheese off anyway lol.) The basil was also nonexistent, a few dots on the whole thing. The rosemary potato was lacking in flavor as well - THICK bready crust with nothing to balance it out (more sauce or cheese?) so it felt dry and hard to finish. Honestly both pizzas needed salt, which was interesting because they were two different sauces altogether. Other than the bummer pizza, it took so long to try it bc their hours were so unpredictable - closed Saturdays, sometimes a Friday, Tuesday? Another time, Google (and ordering apps) had the "opening" time listed as 9:30 PM... Even today (Labor Day) I called and they said "open til 8 but take our last order at 4:45pm." What?? I also tried to order on DoorDash but they didn't have the potato pizza on there?? Also the pepperoni was $37 on their site but $28 on door dash. The whole business aspect just seems like a mess. Worth mentioning bc it is not advertised anywhere but it's totally vegetarian. Buffalo, Hawaiian, all without meat. Pepperoni pizza only available with plant based fake pepperoni. Happy I ordered bc my husband totally missed that and would've been annoyed by it if we ordered it mistakenly.

    Private parking lot, 2 gender-neutral restrooms and space available for large groups…read more We drove down to La Mesa just to check out this place and it was worth it. We ordered the 'That's My Boy' and 'Meet Meat' pizza plus their fries. Their deep dishes were light and crispy. I loved the sweet sauce, jalapeño and ricotta cheese combo on That's My Boy pizza. The Mastiff Fries had a wonderful crispy texture. They are like thinly sliced potato wedges. (Our order is without cilantro which normally comes with it) The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. They did have two tv screens playing the sports channel and had a variety of draft beer options.

I had never had a smash burger before so again my expectations were a little more than the average person. They did not disappoint the flavors were so delicious. I especially enjoyed the garlic aioli more than I thought I would (it is more like a mayo for this burger). The burger came with a a handful of pickled peppers and mini pickles on side. They were good but felt a little out of place for my taste. This place is definitely more of a bar feel than I expected and smaller than I thought it would be, and the seating was tight with most all the tables being bar height. The last thing to keep in mind the parking lot is small but there is street parking, but is leads to residential area so it can be limited to. Overall the burger had good flavor and I will be back to try more on the menu. If you are looking for a beer with your burger there was a lot of choices. Also, if you are into sports, there are several televisions on with a few different events playing.

    Pierre's is a fantastic find in the heart of La Mesa Village! The brilliant chef, Zion, is not only…read moreimpressive in stature, but his recipes for pizza pies are so unique and take your senses on an unexpected thrill ride. First of all, I've not really been a huge deep dish fan. And these are hefty pies! But once you let your teeth sink into a slice, you are delighted by the crunch and crispness of the edges and yet the delicate lightness of the dough in the middle. How does he do that? It's not heavy. But it's thick on flavor. The classic is the pepperoni, with or without jalapeños (for those who like some heat). Those lil' meat discs are fired to perfection w/ a perfect toasty crunch. That's how I like it. So good. The marinara is just right for me. It's not overflowing and trying to cover up anything. But the spices and combo are well balanced. Ok now, you gotta try a specialty pie. They are orderable on certain days depending on what sources are available that week. Or whatever is cooked up in the chef's mind! I think my fave is the Best Spud (seasoned potatoes, 3 cheeses, black garlic miso ranch, gojugaru and chives...) and w/ a bacon option! We have ordered delivery (DoorDash or Localby Toast) and we've ordered online and picked up at the window, and since Hoffers Cigar Beer & Wine Bar opened a couple weeks ago, we've ordered online and they deliver it right to our table next door! It's such a convenient set up for a relaxing evening. Pierre's hours are 5pm to whenever they sell out. And only Wednesday to Sunday. Pierre's is a family business and right now is working inside of Public Square Coffeehouse which is also their family business. So, if you want to go there, go to Public Square and you'll be home! You can enjoy your pizza on site at a sidewalk table or a cozy table inside. It's seriously, worth every penny. For more pics and inspiration, check out their IG https://www.instagram.com/pierrespizzaplace?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== ...omgosh, I totally forgot about the sauces for dipping!! Off the chain flavor experiences! Not that the pizza even needs more flavor. But these options bring it all to a "ho nubba lebbo!"

    Love this spot, the pizza is PHENOMENAL…read more One weekly special we had with mushrooms is something I can't stop dreaming about. Go to pizza is the pepperoni (added the picture), the pepperonis get nice and curled and the pools of oil and cheese are so flavorful. The whole pie is more than enough pizza for two people to share. They have a weekly special that you can ask about too. Don't sleep on Pierre's! Inside Public Square coffee shop in downtown La Mesa which is crazy busy during the day but in the evening Pierre's is calm and a great spot for a pizza pick me up.

My go-to is the Truffle Pizza, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I love the big dollops of ricotta and all the mushrooms. Can I also give an honorable mention to their pizza sauce! It just pulls everything together with the acidity and richness of the tomato flavor. Just know you can order anything here and I can guarantee it'll be delicious!

    Worst pizza service I've ever had…read more Went in to grab a couple of slices to go, and the person working the register could care less about it. 2 ppl ahead of me getting their orders and then the girl working the register started messing with the tip jar. I guess she was doing it to give change to a customer that was already sitting there. No biggie. She kept apologizing for taking so long to ask me what I want, but never actually helps me. She looks a little flustered and its hot in there so STILL, no biggie. I wait... She then starts helping other ppl who came in to pick up orders and STILL...no problem. Then she comes back to me and apologized AGAIN, and starts walking back to the kitchen for something. 2 more customers come in and start grabbing waters and figuring out what they want and she comes back and starts asking THEM if theyre ordering slices or picking up, completely ignoring me. I dont have a problem with waiting when someone's a little busy & flustered, but when you start asking other customers who came in AFTER me what they'd like after I had been waiting patiently, its off-putting to say the least. I ended up walking out with nothing. Won't be coming here again and I live in the neighborhood. I will tell everyone who asks me about this place in comparison to a better shop down the road to stay away and make sure to steer them to the other shop. Customer service is huge with me. As far as the pizza tastes... I have no idea.
