Franks Pizza Joint - La Mesa

I've dined here twice while working in the area, and I was really impressed by the cheesesteak—I'm originally from Philly, so I know good cheesesteak! The bar area and seating are also nice. I can't wait to try the pizza by the slice. Frank's is a fantastic little gem amidst all the fast food options in this area—definitely a great discovery!

I had a scheduled massage in the same shopping center at 2:00 PM and realized I was really hungry since I didn't have time for lunch. I placed my order before the massage and requested it to be ready by 3:00 PM. When I arrived to pick it up at 3:08 PM, they were just taking it out of the oven. After driving 20 minutes home, I indulged in a fantastic pizza and salad. I would give it five stars!

I visited this restaurant for the first time a few days ago, and I can confidently say it's my new favorite spot in the area. It has a charming neighborhood pizza joint atmosphere that I haven't encountered in 25 years. It reminds me of when Pizza Hut used to be an actual restaurant, but the food here is far superior, and they serve beer too! The food is delicious, the vibe is great, and the staff is friendly. The place is clean and affordable as well. Though it's quite small, I see that as a positive aspect.

The first time we say it was AMAZING.. EVERYTHING from the moment we went to pay for our food, it was Top Notch AWESOME... Husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs... the best he had...big taste texture you call it ... I ordered the philly cheese steak and added Chipotle sauce it was the best I had.. The oldest son ordered the Ravioli and he was very happy with... We talk about my 4yr old .. Owner and he tied with small conversation and mozzarella cheese sticks ..and refills with sprit and ice .. Total family friendly and loved the atmosphere...no rushing no negative vibes ...It was the best experience we had on a whine on googling dining in pizza places....we even drove from Lakeside and it was VERY MUCH WORTH! Definitely in the place!!!! RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!

Great pizza always helpful staff and they have really good calzones. The creamy chicken Alfredo is pretty mild and could use a little bit more zest. However the pizzas are fabulous and so is Caesar salad. Nice beer selection too.
