    Pizzo's never fails. With the prices skyrocketing in San Diego (and probably everywhere in the USA), it is nice to have a reasonably-priced restaurant that delivery good-quality tasty food, in a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Their wines are moderately priced, and they have a decent selection. If you love pizza, you must try the San Miguel (spicy). It’s the reason we go there often. Also, make sure to try the pasta arrabbiata. It is not on the menu, but they will gladly prepare one, and it is delicious. What I love most of Pizzos is that they are consistent. Tasty food and great service, all the time.

    I finished every crumb of my chili relleno omelette. The house potatoes were a tasty complement to the omelette. The coffee was rich and smooth. I definitely want to return to try their carnitas omelette which my friend had for her brunch plate. The prices were reasonable which makes this a place I would gladly visit often. I like their mission of serving organic, farm-to-table foods. There is ample free parking behind the restaurant in a multi-storied parking structure.
