Grinders Deli & Pizzeria

Regular visits and always delicious. Visited the salad once and was also pleased with the options. I have taken family to this location, some friends to this location and it’s a synonymous vote that Topper’s is one of our favorite places to eat for pizza. We have ordered to go many times and it’s as good to go as it is dining in. Topper’s is a recommended eatery for pizza in the SCV area.

The place was chaotic. The food order took over 45 minutes waiting. People seemed to be piled and grouped on side walls and corners. Kids running everywhere. The salad bar was crowded. So for atmosphere I give the place 2 stars. For flavor, The pizzas we ordered were Pepperoni ( greasy) needed sauce Hawaiian. Okay. Carnitas was bland. No true flavor There was nothing outstanding of this place and honestly, I wish my family had gone elsewhere. Leaving the place, we were encountered with vomit all over the entrance of the place and mybhusband accidendently stepped on it. It was disgusting. The two stars goes to the hardworking pizza guy in the back. Je was hustling getting orders out.

One of the best pizzas in the SCV. Pizzas come LOADED with toppings, they aren't cheap about it. The BBQ chicken pizza is great, better than CPK, but opt for easy bbq sauce... loaded with chicken, cilantro, and red onions. The mozzarella cheese is good, not the best I've had, I'd rate it similar to papa john's and domino's. Nice location, thoughtful decorations, easy parking. You can place online orders via their website.

I would of gave 5 stars but the general mgr Martin was on a power trip. I order 3 lunch specials. They gave us bowls and plates, I wanted a clean plate for the salad and he straight scolded me like a child for using a plate. Awkward way to approach a customer, ewwwww. The employees were awesome though.
