My first time going after my siblings sports game. The cashier was very welcoming and the place is very clean. I love the photos and timeline of the family’s history! I ordered the a la carte fettuccine alfredo and it.was.delicious!! Took my photo after eating, but I had to leave a review. Much love and respect!

Horrible service, understaffed. Had an hour and a half between picking up my two kids from school and thought I would get us some food in between. 1 cashier was helping two girls who couldn’t decide what they wanted. Wanted almost 15 min before I could order. As I was about to order, the cashier apologized for the wait but told me to hold on to pass out several backed up orders waiting. Now it was 20 min and I couldn’t wait anymore knowing I’d have to order, wait 10-15 min for food etc. 30 min is for cheap delivery pizza, not a walk-in customer. I know they can’t control a customer who can’t get their order together but they could have at least taken our order before delivering the backed up orders to at least get it started cooking. There was no one else in line but me and my 2 sons. I’m not impressed with their service.

I went into Papa’s Pizza Grotto to order a meatball sub for my Son, he works a few doors down at Pechanga gas station. I asked if they gave a discount for Pechanga employees and they said “No”. I ordered the meatball sub and waited for the food because my son was on his 30 minute lunch.

I ordered a pepperoni pizza today and it barely had any cheese on it maybe they were running low on cheese or something. Nothing like Filipis in Escondido

First time there, we’re staying just a walking distance from the Pechanga Rv resort. Ordered lunch for the wife and I, we enjoyed their food. It was really good, they just became one of the food places to go to….. Thank you.

You pay for what you get. And in there, you pay more for higher quality. All the vegetables were fresh and the people that worked there were very friendly. They continuously checked on us as we dined outside.

The quality of the food has gone downhill in recent years not to mention one rude a@# server/cashier behind the register.

Do not order from an online source from this establishment. Absolutely disgusted with the attitude of the staff after ordering a delivery which they got wrong ingredients on and then blames the delivery service for!
