This is my favorite Pizza and Italian restaurant in San Diego. Our waitress Megan always takes great care of us! The pizza here is unlike any of the other Filippi's in San Diego. Must be there oven and the chefs cooking it. Always get the thinner crust with everything on it and cooked well done! Its amazing! There indoor market has everything you need plus you can buy all your ingredients directly from Italy.

Loved loved loved this place! From the wine bottles hanging from the ceiling to the red and white checkerboard table cloths! The service and food were awesome.

Authentic, real, and worth going if your anywhere close to down town San Diego. Best spot in little Italy by far.

It was the first time I walked into filippis. It's a very nice little market with tons of products from Italy. I liked the fact that on the back of the store is the pizzeria.

Great service and a cute atmosphere. The portions were really big, but there wasn't a lot of flavor with the food. Nothing super unique or to write home about.

Pizza toppings where OK, but the thick dough wasn't baked through, so soggy dough that destroyed the overall experience

Ask for the chicken Alfredo with breaded chicken. Worth the extra money
