★★★☆☆ 3.0 Vanya p · Mar 2026

Donna Jean has a lovely atmosphere, and I really wanted to love the meal. The flavors were interesting, but a couple of dishes missed the mark for me. The fungi pizza felt a bit dry overall, and the mushroom appetizer was unfortunately quite oily. That said, the experience was still pleasant, and I can appreciate the creativity behind the menu. I’d be open to trying other dishes in the future.

Went in for date night and was thoroughly thrilled with innovative cuisines especially vegan pizzas!!! One of a kind and the sicilian bread was very apt with wine! We would love to go in again to try rest of the menu ! Nice ambience and the seating was spacious and not tight at all, service was really good!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Abhay Gupta · Nov 2025

I'm absolutely appalled by the experience I had at Donna Jean! The vegan plant-based menu was a joke - the food was not only poorly presented, but it also reeked of a very non-appetizing stench that made my stomach turn. I'm talking pungent, overpowering, and completely off-putting. It's like they forgot to add any seasonings or spices, and instead, just slapped some unappetizing ingredients together and served it to us. We ordered the widow pizza with date sauce, which was the biggest disappointment. The date sauce was overly sweet and overpowered the entire pizza, and don't even get me started on the 'chicken' mushroom dish - it was clearly not plant-based and looked like it had been sitting in the fridge for days. And the Mac n cheese? Forget about it. It was a gloopy, flavorless mess.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Khalid Omar · Dec 2025

A nice restaurant on El Cajon Boulevard, San Diego, serving plant based dishes ( pasta, pizza and Lasagna, etc.). We ordered hot shroom, which gave taste of Pakora in Pakistan/ India, when taken with their delicious sauce.Potatoes with special roasted white bread, Lasagna and Pizza.All were delicious except Pizza.This was surprise for us too. The service was excellent. The lady serving us was well mannered professional.Atmosphere was pleasant and vibrant.People from all races and ages were there.Price however is on higher side.

★★★★★ 5.0 Siddharth Kamdar · Sep 2025

Great Food, one of the best vegan restaurant in town !! Pizza were great, different flavour than usual but tasty. The peach cobbler is a must try, it is a Hot dessert which is rare to find in San diego. "The widow" pizza is a unique Roasted date pure base, definitely must try.
