Finally went here a couple weeks ago. I had avoided it for a while based on hearing about the prices and thinking it was some ritzy fine dining Italian joint.
I was wrong.

The place has a casual atmosphere and the prices for the most part are not bad. I ordered a personal 8" Pizza with Sausage and Pepperoni and a soda. The total with tip ...

YUCK!!! Don't waste your money...Expensive, small portions, LONG WAIT!!!!

$25 for a large pizza you have got to be kidding me!!! If you want more for your money go to Fillipi's in Escondido...everything there is DELISH!!! We waited over an hour for our to go food and when it finally came out the bottom of our pizza was burned...then they still wanted us to pay for it!!! This place is awful and the prices are CRAZY!!!! go dawn the street to Papa Bears...its 10 times better and WAY CHEAPER!!!!

Finally found the best pizza ever! New owners have turned the old boring place into a fine dining experience. The Best of the West award winning chef has revamped the traditional italian menu and added Italian Beef, Tomato Pie Pizza and Pizza Beer Crust. All the pastas, baked dishes, salads and sides are fabulous. Portino's weekend ...

This resteraunt has seen a major turn around since the new owners have taken over! The food is very good...The breakfast is great as well as the pizza...The last time I was there I noticed that the pizza won best pizza in the West! That's how good it is! The quality of the ingredients that they use now is sooooo much better than before, you ...

The new breakfast is HORRIBLE!!! GREASY GREASY GREASY!!! The lunch specials and salads are okay, but the new pizza is just plain BAD!!! Not to mention the arrogant chef that was talking about himself the whole time and didn't even cook a single dish the entire time we were there!! The only reason this place is still in business is because of the service. Our waitress was very pleasant and calm despite all the problems with the kitchen.

New name, new ownership, new pizza. It's pretty good now.

my family went here and the food was bad the pizza was OK but the rest was bad
