Savio's Pizza — Restaurant in San Diego

Reedit: to Stephen the crust was fine it was more so the cheese being over amount and not cooked enough I posted pictures this doesn't disappoint your service or expertise but your pie was good not down falling it just prefer to get a pie at that price else where 😔 Edit: the dipping sauce had no blue mark it was ranch The host Stephen is excited and spunky. They have a great singles NY style line up at the counter do those measure up to a 12" I had. The sauce is light, cheese is heavy, but lacking the Pizza part. The pizza they build is definitely a pie, but where's the sauce I felt like it was a deep dish while eating. There was so much cheese and it lacked the bubbling on the top, so I could tell my pizza wasn't fully cooked in center due to the bubbling and oil residue on top. I had a 12" Hawaiian ate 3 slices right out the gate and all the cheese slid the toppings right off. Would I pick pizza hut over this maybe but papa John's got them beat. Yea they win in crust but no one wants an undercooked pie the case slice looked more cooked then my 18.99 12". I ordered wings as well buffalo obviously both times I mentioned blue cheese for my wings as if you eat ranch you shouldn't be eating wings period. Guess what I got ranch with my order. Hopefully my review and tip can help them gain a sense of grounding cause the artwork on side of building might have...

EDIT: 9 months later and I had another 16" carryout special and it was even better than the last time. Asked for it a little more well done and it was perfect to my liking. 11/10!!

I finally gave Savios a try after walking by this place for years. And to my surprise, its pretty good pizza! I ordered online through Slices. Easy and smooth experience, pizza was ready exactly when it said it would be.

I would rather give my money to this family owned business than a restaurant group masquerading as a small time pizza shop. Its very sharp and clean inside, although i took mine to go.

To anyone comparing pizza from your home town, no one cares. Youre in California, not New York. Believe me when I say no true locals care or want you here anyways. Go home.

My one recommendation to Savios is to offer a "crisp level". I wouldve loved if my pizza were a tad bit more cooked, not to say it was undercooked. I also would like to see cheese distribution allll the way to the edge of the pie. I dont want to see bare sauce!

Other than that - ingredients didnt taste cheap and they dont skimp out on anything. This is bready pizza, but a good balance between toppings and crust.

Mon and Thurs they offer a 1 topping 16" pie for 14 bucks and its absolutely worth it. I...

So lucky to find your joint so close to us! Our other pizza place had switched owners and the pizza has never been the same (lighter weight- less ingrediant😕) BUT you have saved the day with your delicious and hearty pizza...Please consider more veggies and spinach for so many vegetarians living nearby😊 Updated as of 10/25/23......... Ordered pizza during that weekend of Adams Ave fair. While driving to pick up a medium cheese pizza, got a flat tire (guessing from debris of the fair). Instead of cancelling, I asked them if they could please deliver. They did, on a bike (no gas was used) and was surprised to find out they charged a total of $50 for both pizza and delivery. Fifty bucks for a medium cheese pizza of which I have to keep telling them to put more sauce as they've been skimping on it. My fault for not asking how much a 38$ delivery charge would be for a $12-14 pizza pie....
