I've been going to Filippis since I was a kid, started out at the location in Chula. I live in IB now so I frequent that one now. I normally go to Dominoes bc it's fast and cheap. But when I'm really craving pizza, I order a large "the works" from Filippi's. I went in today, busy Saturday. For some reason my tap to pay was not working on their machine. None of the cards in my digital wallet were working. The short girl at the register was annoyed, not helpful, walked away after giving me the "ugh, you're poor" vibes and made me feel really uncomfortable but then the tall super hot ginger guy stepped in and offered some solutions.

Although it was covered in so much cheese the dough was cooked well and tasty. The eggplant parm was good. Many layers of thinly slices eggplant, seasoned well. Sadly it was topped with a bit too much cheese that it took away from the flavor. The spaghetti was plentiful, sauce was not thin and had a very

We’ve been to the Temecula and Escondido location. This one is a lot smaller. The taste also is a bit different and you would think it would be the same as it’s a franchise. The food aesthetically looks good but it’s lacking flavor; it just tastes like cheese. I mean if you like cheese that’s great for you. We ordered a few different items to try but none stood out. I would recommend leaving the pizza to cool off or even eating it a day later; if not the cheese just slides off.
