Delicious pizza conveniently located in La Mesa. I've only ever ordered takeout, but the ambience inside the place looks chill and laid back, a place to hangout with friends to enjoy a beer and some bites.
First of all, the crust on these pan pizzas are sooooo delicious, it's a crispy cheese crust. I've tried other pan pizzas/Detroit style pizzas in SD but have found the cheese crust flavor in other places to be way too overpowering. Not at Mastiff though, flavor is just right.
I have tried their Choke n Chiken and That's My Boy - both highly savory and delicious pan pizzas. They're soooo good, I wish the pizzas were bigger!! That being said though, 2 slices fill me up plenty, and for my husband he can do 2.5-3 slices in one sitting (but 3 is pushing it).
I really enjoy that when you go pick them up, they take some extra steps to pack your order to make sure it's as enjoyable as possible. I've noticed that the team will spread some hot/fresh tomato sauce on top of the pizza and grate fresh (Parmesan?) cheese on top. It's such a nice touch!! The box the pizzas come in are very sturdy, which is important since these pizzas are pretty thick.
I also appreciate that Mastiff has a parking lot, makes picking up much easier. This will easily become my go to for pan pizza.
