Best filippis in San Diego! Amazing pizza and The Italian dressing is to die for. Dip everything in it and get extra to dip your left overs in!

We ❤️the pizza from here, it was a big serendipity for us. We arrived at 9pm to escondido and the place that we had in mind has kitchen closed. We found filippi's and really love it!!

Celestes Rivera

For an extremely cheesy pizza it was actually not that bad. Service was great and food was too. The place has really dimmed lights so it gives off a calm vibe.

If you're really hungry..Get the Large pizza . They only have medium and large and the mediums are on a typically small scale. Still filling with a great side antipasto and bread . Love this place!!!

Ainee Tiny

We ordered the family combo (lasagna , raviolli, spaguetti) salad and minestrone soup with lots of bread and garlic bread . 13.95. Three people could eat this meal, it was good but not all that.

Jose Martinez

Overall bland pizza . I don't feel that any love goes into making the dough or sauce. Adding mounds and mounds of cheese doesn't make a pizza good. Pizza Port & Roundtable beat this place hands down.

John Overman

Everything is great here. Pizza , pasta it's always too much. I've always had leftovers. Food for later.

Mike Mallari

For parties of 12 or more, call restaurant 24-48 hours. For the rest, first come, first serve. Tony Madriaga is a very good server and host.

Nancy March

Antipasto salad is always great!

Silvia Bautista

Pizza is always so yummy! We've been coming here for years!

Celestes Rivera

Pizza is exaggeratedly cheesy but good. Service was great it only took a couple minutes for our food to be served.

Kenani Gertner

It makes a good pizza , but it doesn't really compete with Round Table or Shakey's, but a good pizza .

Bill Rebenschied

Best food in the world and the greatest waitresses in the world!!!!

Hyla Breidenbaugh

Ignore Joe's tip because this is the BEST and tastiest pizza in town !!!

Tim Craig

Friday night's between April-September downtown Escondido is nuts with traffic due to Crusin' Grand. If you want to swing by and grab a pizza to go - DO NOT do it on a Crusin' evening! Read more

The super sub made hot with Italian dressing amazing

Diana Rose
