Filippi's Pizza Grotto - Escondido

I have no idea in what world their pizza would be accepted as a pizza. Anyone that understands pizza making would say that it should be sauce first, then cheese and finally toppings. Unfortunately, they top the pizza with cheese, and a lot of it. And thebottom is pretty soggy and uncooked. What you end up with at Filippi 's in Escondido is a soggy and greasy pizza that isabsolutely awful. The red sauce is sour and has a weird aftertaste. The leavening in the dough makes the taste very sour whichmust be irregular or warm temperatures and long fermentation time. People that rate this place 5 stars.. I wonder if they everhad good pizza.. But this ain 't it folks.

Great for those who like to eat with their hands. I grew up in a proper home so I have a preference to using silverware. Food was okay a tad bit on the greasy side. The inside of the restaurant was your traditional Italian restaurant feel. Resembling alot of the New York Italian restaurants. My overall rating is a 3 from a proper gentleman like myself. Good day Sir

Absolutely Love this place!!!! Can't say enough, the pizza is amazing delicious like no other, covered in mozzarella. The dough is perfection.. They definitely have a family secret recipe! I also love getting 2 meatballs with marinara sauce and garliccheese bread, Im in heaven. The sauce is delicious!

Their pizza is worth every dollar! The fit for a king pizza is amazing every time. Unlike those other places, one thing is for sure they do not skimp on toppings here. 5 stars every time.

I can't believe that I have been enjoying the food and people at Filippi's for about 40 years and haven't given them a review.
