Manta Pizza San Diego Reviews
Had to wait on line for a while, but got our food quickly once we ordered. Had to wait a little extra for the bread sticks to come out. So ours were nice and hot! The staff were very friendly and helpful!! We got fresh drinks!

It's what you would expect for ready to order pizza. Quick service.

We ordered breadsticks as a snack. We got two small breadsticks for $6.99. This was probably the most reasonably priced item in the entire park—everything we ate here isn’t worth the money. TASTE—2/5 VALUE—0/5

SeaWorld San Diego has the 100% most Absolute bad food of any park I have ever been to. I eat 1x a month and use a Platinum pass double discount, and the food is still over priced. The BBQ chicken pizza was so dry I could pick it up from 1 end, even though it was already cut... The chicken was dried out, look at the bottom of the chicken pictured as that wasn't dried out yet. It had virtually no sauce and very little cheese. The pepperoni had more cheese, but was still not fresh. Who is in charge of the food quality at SeaWorld?? Do they ever leave their office and go check on the food?? Just absolutely pathetic. I asked if there was a fresher one and was told they are all the same. Just Absolute crap. I'd prefer to stay at the park longer, but when we get hungry, there are no good food spots. The place where Rita's is at used to be a good place to eat with the wraps, but nope they git rid of it. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! Worst food place I’ve ever seen in my life ! 40$ for 2 pizzas which is not even fully cooked! And the service ? We waited almost 2 hours to get to the window. If you’re planning to visit sea world San Diego please avoid this food shop !

Like others have said, horrible. I mean REALLY horrible. Tasted bad and made us sick been stuck on the toilet or throwing up for two days now.
The line wasn't long, but moving extremely slow. We finally left after an hour standing in line. Wasting our precious time in the park!
The pizza was okay but everything on menu is overpriced and not worth it. $5.99 for 2 breadsticks, RIDICULOUS and NO flavor.
Would give 0 stars if I could. They serve cold, stale pizza and super expensive. The beverages are not cold at all and out of fizz.
Easily the worst place to eat at SeaWorld. Long wait time, staff dont really seem to care about anything, and abysmally bad pizza, if you can even call it that. It was cold, barely even cut, hardly any toppings, and tasted awful. Not even worth trying, even with the all day dining deal. Save your time and go on another ride or something.
Rough pizza. Sauce is a little off. Not sure why. Cheese is cheese. But the crust is not good. I'd recommend going elsewhere. For those with a kid with a soy allergy. They do have soy in the crust. Just a heads up.
This pizza spot is located near the Manta roller coaster which is loud. My Family was unable to hear the worker call us next in line due to the noise when the guest next to us, politely let us know that it was our turn. When I came up to the service window to order, the employee was talking very negatively about how my family doesnt listen, how rude we are to ignore them, and how we need to "get our shit together or not eat here". I made it very known that I had heard every word she had said and apologized for not being able to hear her call us next in line due to the roller coaster up above us. This employee still proceeded to attempt to argue but than walked away and said "forget it, have a nice day". Super disappointed with this service line, kudos to the female worker who took this employees place at the cashier register when her co worker couldn't control her temper over a situation that was out of everyone's control. This situation occurred tuesday July 15th around 5-530p.m..
Just don't... The line takes forever! They are slow with no apparent reason. The food... UGH, part of my pizza was totally still completely frozen! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! Hope I don't get sick!
Worst food/experience ever!!! I ordered 4 pizzas through the mobile order and I waited at the window. While waiting, there were 4 different groups of people going the window complaining that their pizzas were cold and doughy. When I received my pizzas, they were also cold and very doughy, super undercooked. I asked to speak with the manager, Chris, who is the worst manager I have ever dealt with. I told him that everybody is getting served undercooked pizza and he said, "that's the way the dough is". My family owns a pizza restaurant and have made pizza there, it has nothing to do with the dough, its how long it was cooked for. Chris basically just told me to shut up and take a refund. I got a refund and I heard Chris on the phone with his supervisor telling him that there are 10 people requesting refunds. I got my refund and remade pizzas that were still undercooked.
Yeah....their slogan is hot and fast....it was the opposite. The service was rather slow (25 min wait) despite there only being 3 groups in front of us and the food was pretty much ready to plate. The pizza itself was cold and expensive. Go to the smokehouse or Hibisco, better food and value. Just maybe try to avoid the rush hour or order ahead on their mobile app.
**SKIP ALL DAY DINING** Fell for the all day dining. The pizza was the worst of the restaurants we tried. Waited an hour. They screwed up the order so we didn't get drinks. Cheese wasn't melted. Worse than frozen pizza.
The food here is bad and for an outrageous price It's like the cheapest of cheap frozen pizza at the grocery store for a 5 star pizza price A toddler could make better bread sticks If you do eat here use the app and pick up at the mobile window Pretty sure the guy working the pick up window was a little baked himself
The best thing about this place was the nice people who got stuck waiting in line forever for cardboard pizza. At least the other guests are decent sports about the terrible food service.
This was the most expensive and mediocre pizza we have ever tasted. Total disappointment and the fact that they are charging $14.99 per slice with a straight face is borderline criminal. Save your money, you have been warned.
We were waiting on line for 1 hour for this pizza. A single pizza slice at this location is a whopping 12 dollars! Pizza ended up being mediocre and was not worth the price at all. Would give this 0/5 if I could.
