Fillippi’s Pizza Grotto is well known by locals to offer
some of the zestiest and affordable pizza in the area. You will not find
Americanized pizza sold by the slice but you will find authentic Italian pizza
with full flavors. The food is so good that the line will reach across the
block and it is suggested patrons go early to avoid this wait.
In the front of the restaurant is a grocery store that
carries Italian imported brands. They do support the local fishing industry by
purchasing San Diego seafood and sell this brand as well as use it in their
ingredients. Whether you are seeking
past or old world sauce you can browse their market while you wait.
The restaurant has been in business for over fifty years and
is still owned by the founding family. Even though they have 14 locations, the
one in San Diego is the best known. The cheese is natural and so are the rest
of the ingredients. The atmosphere is casual offering non-alcoholic and beer
and wine. For under $10 you can bring home a liter bottle of imported Bell’Agio
Chianti.
Expect to pay about $60 for pizza, spaghetti, and an
appetizer (enough for three).
