    14" Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, cheesy bread, garlic bread, and 1LB of buffalo wings.
    Jonathan J.

    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!

I ordered the slice of GOAT Pie (pepperoni pizza with goat cheese dried tomato and honey). Omg, it's really good! Even their iced tea was surprisingly good... it has a hint of coconut! The service was fast. We paid the meter parking for 37 minutes, we got in and out within 30 minutes for dining in! We'll surely come back!!!

They offer great combo deals. You can do a whole pie or grab combos like one slice with a soda, two slices with a soda, or two slices with a beer. Solid value. For under $20, I got two slices of pizza and a craft beer. Their craft beer selection is awesome and definitely a highlight. I ordered two slices: *Surf Rider: Their most popular and classic pizza. The New York-style crust was phenomenal, but for my taste there were way too many chunks of garlic. *Basil Pesto & Ricotta: Again, great New York-style crust. I wish they added pepperoni to this one. The ricotta flavor was pretty subtle so while it was a nice pizza, it didn't really stand out. The space itself is great with indoor seating plus two large outdoor seating areas, complete with TVs for sporting events. Dogs are allowed, which is a nice bonus. They even give out dog treats at the counter. There's only street parking, but I still found a spot just a few minutes away. Overall, this is a cute spot with amazing New York-style crust, which is my favorite. The employees were very friendly, and it took less than five minutes to order and have the slices ready. They even brought them out to me. While the crust was excellent, the overall flavor of the pizzas didn't quite hit for me. Still a solid place, especially if you're big on crust and craft beer.

    Fun variety of bar favorites to choose from on the menu…read more We started with the Pork Nugs and a Sicilian Salad...one bite of each and we were OFF to a bountiful taste delight. The fried pork pieces the best pork belly bites Ive ever had...they were light, yet meaty, and crispy outside, tossed in their gochuijang..so savory with a slight kick thay made me dive back in (comes in two order sizes). The salad was LARGE, with cold and crisp chopped romaine (no brown pieces to be found!!) topped with a merry go round effect of sliced pepperoni, shaved white onions, seaaoned greek olives, halved cherry tomatoes, marinated arttchokes, shredded mozzarella tossed in a vinaigrette with a slight hint of lemon capped off with a sprinkle of jalapeños. Next up my dining mate ordered the smashburger..made DOUBLE, with the most delectable garlic aioli and a side of the Mastiff fries a surprise plate of crispy salty potato skinn on wedges that are soft, seasoned well amd topped with their house sauce(yummmm..creamy and warm) and cotija cheese. The portion sizes are ample so plan on bringing home leftovers! The restaurant has a small parking lot, big windows that bring in plenty of light with a mix of tall tables, dining tables and a bar running half the length (bonus for wide bottom seats!!) While yoy order at the counter, everything is brought out to your table with a smile! THANK YOU TEAM MASTIFF LA MESA... we will be back for the chicken and pizzas!!

My husband ordered the Smashburger and a side salad and I got the wings. The wings were perfectly crisp and cooked all the way through the flavor was definitely there. The vibe in there feels like locals vibes and it's good to escape the SD tourist. The pricing for the food is also great. Parking is in a lot in front of the restaurant or there is street parking. Def will be back.

    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.
