Since there is not a spot for the new one in SANTEE I will write it here. The first 3 times we ordered the pizza and it was great. Let me start to say there is not a good pizza place in the santee area so I thought we finally got lucky. This was a mistake. The next 3 times, it was on a friday/saturday night when we ordered out. It was busy and the pizza was undercooked,the toppings were messed up and in some cases just dumped on the pizza in one spot. Why did we go back? because the place was new and giving the benefit of being new and crowded. The last time I went I told the waitress who took the order what had happened and that I will wait the extra minutes to do the pizza right. Again same thing under cooked and messed up on the toppings and gave us the wrong dressing for the anti pasto salad. We will not be returning to the one in Santee. Do not get me wrong when they do it right the pizza is good. Perhaps the one off of Friars Road thats where we used to go and were allways treated right.

This restaurant has been a favorite of mine since I first walked by it and was allured in by its wonderful aromas in 1983! Before 911, I would fly to San Diego from Phoenix just for the pizza and fly home the same day --- great "road trip". Unfortunately, the 911 security routine has made this too much of a hassle for a one day trip. But, I still travel to Filippi's several times/year --- the food is that good! Oh yeah, one more thing...to the reviewer that was turned-off because she was told to quiet her unruly kid --- I have two things to say: In more than 25 years, I have never observed any rudeness from any of the server's; the second thing I have to say is, Lady...be considerate of others and take your noisy kid out of the restaurant! Anyway, if you want very good, thick crust (very good crust!) pizza, you won't be disappointed!

They have several locations around downtown and Mission Valley and very convenient to our home, but, food is mediocre. Their well known for their pizza and submarine sandwiches, but there are better choices around. Atmosphere leaves alot to be desired but many families gather here.

I went there for the first time yesterday for lunch. Our server was really nice and the food was very tasty. The chicken salad I ordered was larger than I expected but was able to get a leftover box to take the rest home. The best part was the cheese sticks! I have never been to a restaraunt where the cheese sticks were actually meted properly! I'm used to the sticks being a minute away from being cold, but not the ones here!

There's definitely a family restaurant charm to this place, and I recommend it for a good Italian meal.

I was very disappointed. This was one of our favorite places. We decided to go to Filippi's today after Sunday mass with our family for my husband's early birthday celebration and our anniversary. During lunch my son, 19 month old, was cranky and crying. And a lady that worked there came over and told my husband to "plug a bottle in his mouth". I was stunned and offended. Therefore, we will not be going there anymore.
