" The food at Filippi's is nothing short of phenomenal! I am particularly fond of their spaghetti and meatballs - it tastes so homemade. My family often shares a large pizza, which is not only delicious but also generous enough to fill all of us. The only downside is that it can get crowded, especially on weekends, but the staff does their best to keep everything running smoothly. If you haven't gone yet, do yourself a favor and check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" You've got to try the pepperoni pizza at Filippi's! It has the ultimate balance of crispy crust, rich mozzarella, and the pepperoni was delightful. The ambiance suits a casual yet fun family outing. While we had to wait for a while for our food, the service remained friendly and helpful throughout the night. I left satisfied with the generous portion sizes and will definitely recommend this place to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I gleefully visit Filippi’s whenever I can get a chance. The pizzas are incredible and the portions huge. I was particularly impressed by the spicy pepperoni which complemented the cheese beautifully. The atmosphere is bustling and fun, perfect for a Sunday out with the family. The only downside was that they seemed a little understaffed during my last visit, leading to a slight delay in service time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a family lunch at Filippi's based on previous recommendations, and I was left with mixed feelings. While the atmosphere was definitely family-friendly and lively, the pizza didn't quite live up to the hype for me. It was excessively cheesy, lacking in the rich tomato flavor I was hoping for. The service team was attentive but it was clear they were overwhelmed with other large parties. On the whole, I enjoyed our time, but the food didn’t win me over. " (*Curated Review*)

" Filippi's Pizza Grotto is an institution in Escondido! It's has remained a reliable spot for Italian food, especially the pizzas. My entire family visited during the weekend, and we opted for the family meal deal. Loved everything from the cheese garlic bread to the magnificent pizzas! The only downside was that the wait time was quite long due to how busy it was. The prices match the huge portion sizes, making it a great value overall. I highly recommend coming here for any gathering! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delicious! The food at Filippi's never disappoints. I ordered their signature lasagna for the first time and it was truly heavenly. The ambiance of the restaurant is very chill and perfect for a family outing. Only issue was getting seated; it took longer than I expected due to the crowd. I can see why it's a popular spot. Definitely now one of my go-to restaurants whenever I’m in Escondido! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience was a mixed bag at Filippi's. While the garlic cheese bread was absolutely divine, the pizza we tried was overwhelmingly cheesy to the point where I felt it drowned out the flavors of the toppings. The staff were friendly, but service was slower than I would have liked, possibly due to how busy it was that evening. I loved the ambiance; it felt like a genuine Italian pizzeria. Overall, I would give it another shot despite the hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)
