Round Table Pizza
RTP has always been my favorite chain store pizza. Even since childhood back in the day. Always consistently excellent pies. Many of their dine in restaurants now feature great lunch specials with salad bars and whatnot.

Outstanding “Sicilian Pizza” at Sammy’s in Scripps Ranch! A SoCal institution since 1989, Sammy’s was the first restaurant concept in San Diego to introduce the woodfired oven to its guests. Their first location was in La Jolla, but have since expanded throughout California and Nevada.
Excellent BBQ Chicken Pizza at Wynola Pizza! Delicious thin, crispy wood-fired crust. It’s super easy to eat the whole thing. Unfortunately the Caesar salad was not nearly as good as before. Seems as if the Parmesan cheese was an endangered species this time.
Stunning manhole cover sized chicken parm at CKF in Esco! They call it Chicken Parmesan “Pizza Style”. I was able to eat almost half of it before tapping out. 😅
Outstanding antipasto salad and meatballs appetizer at Tony Pepperoni in San Diego!
Outstanding “Joe’s Godfather” pizza at Wynola Pizza & Bistro! Great wood fired pizza here that is so light and thin. Super easy to eat the whole thing and not feel all distended.
I remember coming here when this place was a Chinese restaurant, not that long ago. I cannot believe what is here now! “The Shop” is a stunning full service restaurant with fantastic attention to detail. Definitely a gustatory oasis in Rancho Bernardo. Service was friendly, thorough and energetic. For my first visit I tried a lunch special personal sized deep dish pizza. It was excellent. Crust was exquisite. I can certainly see myself frequenting this place often. Outstanding food, full bar and local craft beer on tap. Highly recommended.
