Frank's Pizza Joint La Mesa Reviews
A hidden gem of a pizza place. The prices are not cheap, but it's not a chain pizza place either. Here, excellent pizza and calzones are on the menu, and they are amazing. They do have some craft beer on tap and in bottles, but I don't drink so I can't tell you how that is. The inside is nice, they do have a big screen that's usually on some sports channel, but unless it's busy it's generally quiet and the ambience quite likable. I really enjoyed and will go back.
First time there...let's just say it was AMAZING.. EVERYTHING from the moment we walked in to paying for our food it was top notch AWESOME...Husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs...the best he's had...great flavor texture you name it ...I ordered the philly cheese steak and added chipotle sauce it was the best I have had..Oldest son ordered the ravioli and he was very happy with it...Lets talk about my 4yr old ..Owner and him bonded with small talk and mozzarella cheese sticks ..and refills with sprite and ice .. Totally family friendly and loved the atmosphere...no rushing no negative vibes ...It was the best experience we've had on a whim on googling Dining in pizza places....we even drove from Lakeside and it was VERY MUCH WORTH IT!!!! Definitely hit the spot!!!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
The Pizza was very good we loved the thin and fresh pizza crust. The antipasto salad was delicious and they didn't put too much dressing on it mozzarella sticks were awesome and big and very feeling tasted good.
We got the chicken alfredo pizza and probably one of the best (if not the best) pizza I ever got in El Cajon… we went there little late, but (owner I guess) the lady was very kind enough to let us dine in. The employees were very friendly as well. Im very glad that we have such an awesome place very close to us. Will definitely come back.
We went there as a party of six today. This was our first time there. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! Highly recommended

Alright so we came here for our first time and wanted to try a different pizza spot other than gaetanos Italian, and man I will say there pizza was something I don’t ever remember having anywhere else. It was absolutely delicious. We got the 3 topping, I think it was, with the largest size they have and me and my mom had a blast with this pizza. I don’t know why there are negative reviews saying the pizza is terrible, but we had a good time eating the pizza. We almost ate the whole pie, and it was 20 inches. I seriously recommend coming here, definitely better than whatever else is around here.
Best pizza in San Diego! Great service and atmosphere too! You won't be dissappointed
Really nice vibe in the restaurant in keeping with the NY pizza joint theme. Got the lunch time deal and it was very good value. Pizza was very good and came with a fresh side salad and large drink. Would recommend
We were traveling through SD to Baja and came upon this place by chance and the food is amazing! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and everything is cooked to oder with high quality fresh ingredients! Highly recommend!!
I really liked the pizza, to the point I went back for a second slice. Im not a heavy eater but definitely would recommend.

A couple of friends brought me here when I was visiting. They talked it up and for pretty good reason. Their pizza was good but the Calzone they made me was one of the best I have ever had. Also their mozzarella sticks were awesome as well. Having a crispy outside and gooey inside that they are known for. Will Def be back next time I visit.
My first visit. Watched SDSU Aztecs play UCONN in the NCAA March Madness basketball finals. I gave 4 stars ONLY because I did not use the restroom (a crucial element to any restaurant). Food was great, staff were friendly & helpful. My friend & I enjoyed our visit. I look forward to returning to experience more of the menu :-)

Pretty decent pizza I’ve been enjoying for years. Meatball pizza to be exact.

Overall, not a great experience here. Food was good, but service was very slow and it wasn’t busy at all. Was never brought or offered condiments for my meal (burger and fries), and honestly didn’t bother asking with how slow the staff response time was, by the time they came around to ask if I needed more water, we were ready to pay.
I When it’s cooked right it is the best pizza in San Diego. I used to drive from Coronado to come get this pizza for my family, but I’ve noticed the past year. They don’t pay attention to the temperature in the oven and half the time when I order a pizza it’s burnt. I tried to order a pizza the other night it was almost an hour wait maybe they’re really busy and they just don’t pay attention, but I went in tonight. There was like four people in there, and my pizza came out for after waiting. This happened half the time when I order it, but I never say anything because they’re so nice. Maybe someone will read this review pay attention to the oven temperature

Couldn’t believe this place had a 7.8 score on the One bite app, then I saw how many reviews there were (3), two of them from 2022. No way is this pizza a 7.8. Extremely floppy, zero crisp. 5.0- 6.0 pizza all day long. Should have left it in the oven longer. Don’t rush pizza. This place is not at all a pizza joint and their pizza is over priced, bland, and undercooked. Won’t be returning.
I ordered a meatball sub and a spaghetti and meatball to go. The meatball sub was hot and cheesy. But minimal sauce. Tasted ok. The spaghetti, well I opened the container and it isn't even full. Minimal sauce again. I am very disappointed.

Was recommended by a friend for real NY pizza. Pizza was basically uncooked. Dough sagged and toppings slipped right off. Super bummed.
We paid $64 for a pepperoni pizza with extra toppings to be delivered. We live about 8 minutes from the restaurant. The delivery was on time, but this pizza had been made way before as the box was wet with condensation and the pizza soggy and not even lukewarm. I paid $3.50 extra for basil and there was not one piece of basil on this. I paid another $3.50 for bell pepper and there may have been 15 skinny slices across this XL pizza. The deliverer ignored my request to hand the pizza to me and left it on our porch. Never again.

I am so sorry, but the pizza was just not good at all. The dough was insanely soggy (and the pizza wasn’t floppy in that way you want pizzas floppy, it was genuinely soggy) and the cheese was like Chuck E Cheese quality. We at a slice and took the rest home cuz we felt bad, and ended up throwing it away
