Their pizza is a bit more elevated than say, Grand Slam, another one of our favorite neighborhood spots, but it's also a bit more expensive. Their crust is on the thin side and they have tons of options, including pizza with hot honey. Mmmmmm. We also like the house salad with apples, cranberries, and blue cheese, and the vinaigrette dressing is tasty. (We usually add avocado.) Hint: for our family of three, the smaller size salad is quite enough. They have a great selection of beer (and hard kombucha!) on tap, and there is always a place to sit, even if the line is long and it looks daunting on a Friday night in the Village. It's always bustling, which is a testament to the delicious pizza and fun atmosphere. The service is always friendly and attentive...I tell them every chance I get! I just wish they didn't allow smoking out on the front part of the patio. One of the best local pizza joints in North County!

When I called the store to correct the issue, I had the pleasure of speaking to Vanessa. She was understanding and had a quick solution. She called me back 5 minutes later to tell me the food was being made fresh. When I asked why, she said it had gotten cold and a store employee would be delivering and she threw in a dessert. All I can say is, between the the service and food quality, I will recommend to everyone I know and will definitely order again. Thank you all for a tasty meal and outstanding service!

Photo 2&3 are photos of delicious pizzas that are from Oggi's Pizza & Brewing Co. which is about 5 minutes away from Lamppost which is where we ended up after only ordering an appetizer at Lampost and being petrified we were going to catch the Hanta from the rips in the booth. The last photo is exactly what you think it is which is not giving very family friendly. I remember having my soccer party too when I was a kid now I can't imagine a kid stepping in this "family friendly" joint.

I have enjoyed the pizza , lasagna,and the hot and the cold sandwiches . all the lunches come with a soda and a salad. It's a great meal and it's a good value. Everything is served quickly so that you have a chance to have a nice meal in 45 minutes. After work or after busy days, we have picked up pizzas here for dinner. My husband is a big fan of the meat lovers. I like the Hawaiian. upper crust is always very generous with the toppings. when you take your piece of pizza out of the box you have to go back with a spoon to get all the extra toppings that have fallen back into the box. They seem to hire a lot of young people and everybody who's waited on us or served us has always been very professional and friendly. We enjoy coming here and we feel we get a lot of value for our money

The red marinara with or without meat is soooo good. Love that it isn't acidic like is many other places. It's buttery and velvety with perfect balance. The ambiance is "meh" - little bit of a hole in the wall vibe which makes it seem a little dirty. Wish they'd paint with lighter, more inviting, color. And it's on the colder side during winter so take a light jacket. But THE FOOD .... The pasta ..... is AH-mazing! And so affordable.

Mama n Papa's Pizza Grotto in Vista is the kind of place that feels like stepping back into a…read moreclassic Italian restaurant -- in the best way possible. The decor is definitely old-school, with an aged charm that tells you this place has been around for a while. Even so, the furniture is well-maintained, and the entire dining area looks clean and cared for. The service matches the traditional vibe. The servers are mature, efficient, and no-nonsense -- the kind who still bus their own tables and focus on getting you what you need without the fluff. It's refreshing and perfectly suits the atmosphere. The food, though, is the real standout. I first discovered their pizza when my brother-in-law brought one to a party, and I couldn't believe how good it was -- easily one of the best I've had in a long time. On my recent visit, I decided to try a sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. The bread was soft and fresh, the meats flavorful and well-balanced, with everything working together without overwhelming the taste buds. Overall, Mama n Papa's offers an excellent meal and a warm, nostalgic experience. If you appreciate great food in a traditional Italian setting, give it a try -- you won't be disappointed.

Our waitstaff was headed by Kap & he did an excellent job. Told us to check out the happy hour menu since it was almost over, so we could get appetizers in at a reduced price. Ordered the calamari (crunchy, yet tender), bruschetta caprese (piled high with mozzarella & basil & chopped tomato), Caesar salad (crisp greens with a garlicky Caesar dressing), meatballs (2 large in a marinara sauce - so tender). They also have sliced warm bread on the table with olive oil/balsamic or butter. The drinks were perfect - nice and chilled and crafted perfectly. Kap also made a great recommendation on a bottle of wine. The menu has changed though. Some of our favorites have disappeared... (seafood risotto), so tried other dishes. Carbonara is so rich & creamy. The pizza margharita was cooked perfectly with a nice crust, but was a little lackluster in taste (not enough cheese maybe?). I did order a side of pesto to add some flavor. The lobster ravioli is always great here, so 2 people ordered it. Added chicken to the vodka penne (grandson's plate was completely emptied). Also had a fettuccini Montanara. Everyone but the grandson had leftovers to take home, so servings more than adequate. Kap really made the dinner perfect. Attentive without being over-bearing & making great recommendations throughout. Will definitely be back.

Cool attitude from the waitress so I said u know what the rest looks good, I'll return with the wife. We called in our next order at 115pm and by 150pm our pizza slices (which are already made) were being held back waiting for our fish and chips that looked really good, it's why I came back. Butby 150pm the food was still not ready, I think they forgot to make the food. Then I asked u know what let's cancel the fish and chips and I'll just take the slices. Took an extra 8mins to get the refund. They were like u still want the food? I didn't know if they were messing with me or not so I said no. Food looks great, I just had an impatient kid with me and a cook who took 40+mins to make phone ordered fish and chips. I think I heard the hostess put in the order after she placed the slices in the box, I heard her remention my order and I asked if it was done, she said No, she was just asking the cook for the status after I had already waited for I wanna say 4 ppl to order then my order was rechecked and still not ready. Nuts ... Pizza was good
