Filippi's Pizza Grotto Scripps Ranch

First time dining here, nice atmosphere. We arrived mid-afternoon and had the dining room to ourselves for a while. Food portions were generous-we ordered lasagna with meat sauce and spaghetti with meatball.

This is our second time here, and honestly, the standout was the service. We had an amazing server named Derek. At one point, I was moving my pizza off the tray, and it completely flipped onto the floor. I told him I didn’t want another one because we had plenty already. But Derek went ahead and brought me a fresh pizza anyway. The service was absolutely top-notch, and because of that kind of care, I will definitely be back.

I've heard good things about the prime rib here so I had to try it out. We ordered a regular cut and shared between two people. It was plenty for both of us. The meat was tender but not as flavorful as I expected. I liked veal parm as it's juicy, tender and cheesy. The spaghetti with meat sauce was a bit sour for my taste. The restaurant is dark in general. I liked the decorations, got a nostalgic kind of feeling. The waitress was friendly. Overall experience was ok but I don't think it's a place I would visit on a regular basis.

I had a great experience at Filippi’s Pizza! The food was really good, everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Our server, Ashley, made the meal even better with her amazing service. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. The atmosphere was nice, though it’s a little on the darker side inside — but honestly, that didn’t take away from the experience at all. I’d definitely come back and recommend Filippi’s to anyone looking for great pizza, eggplant parm, and excellent service!

Not all Filippi’s pizza are the same. Apparently this location is the best as far as food and atmosphere. They have the formal dining room and lounge area with the bar if you want to chill. A lot of the locals come here to hang out. Did you know that they have a secret menu? We ordered from the regular menu. We got wings, ravioli and lasagna. Both the ravioli and lasagna had the same sauce. I wouldn’t order that combo again. The wings were dry rub, large, and juicy. We didn’t find the food to be that great but the atmosphere was the place to be that evening. We will for sure be back to join the locals and order spicer wings.
