They deliver until 2:45am on Fri and Sat: They deliver late. And I *love* the crust. I too recommend the Pizza+Spag+Lasagna+Bread deal. Very good. The restaurant is in a, um, urban area and is not the greatest location. But it should be safe, just a little seedy looking. They beat Pizza Hut and Dominos by a wide margin.

Looks like Albert Myles was trying to get the classic free meal deal and in the process discredit one of the best restaurants in San Diego. I first ate at Etna's back in 1984 and still consider it in the top 10 best pasta joints in the nation. The food is authentic and portions very gracious. I too must admit, the area has declined over the years, but that should not stop you from experiencing a very delicious meal. I no longer live in San Diego, but make it a point to drop by when I am there to have some of the most wonderful pasta dishes Etna has to offer.

I love this place and have eaten there since I was a kid. I now live in Northern California (Sacramento) and I must say that the pizza at this place is belongs in the pantheon of the gods. Whenever I come home to San Diego this is one of my destinations-seriously! Some may not care for the sweet dough but I do. Having eaten at many pizzerias both in both Southern and Northern California this still ranks in the top 1% of all that I have tried. And yes, I've had every style and crust from all over. Etna's has the family feel-good, "Mama Cita" thing about it. In a day and time where most restaurants (especially national chains) could care less about the quality of food, customer service, and high price, Etna's delivers. See you at Etna's!

HORRIBLE FOOD!: I had been told to try this restaurant when I moved to the area. I was extremely disappointed! It was the worst Italian food I have ever eaten!!! We got the couple meal deal with a salad, a pasta, and a pizza. It was ALL bad! If you love food, especially Italian food, avoid this one.

Calzone: Most excellent 20 pound calzone, lol. Very very Tasty

I love this restaurant!: This place has great food! I love the spaghetti! Yum! A great value for great italian food!

good italian food, but too pricey for the location

Do not lissen to the 3, 1 star reviews there eather makeing pizzas of there own in another shop or there date didnt go as planed or there just bitter ETNA RESTAURANT AND PIZZA HOUSE IS AWSOME!!! 1 of my faverite pizza joints! try it sometime

So delicious you'll eat it even if U R full!: I love this place! When I got my own apartment and started working full time at a restaurant the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was cook for myself. If it wasn't for Etna I would be famished! The food is amazing and gives my hometown of San Francisco's North Beach some pallette competition for me. Truly a treasure of San Diego. LOVE IT!!!

Super Great Pizza: Been driving 1/2 HR ROUND TRIP SINCE HIGH SCHOOL TO SCORE THIS DELICIOUS PIZZA, THE CRUST IS THE BEST. HUGE TOPPINGS ARE GREAT!

Great Food Great Prices: Have been ating here for a couple years now. Great food with great prices beats all others hands down!!!!

Best pizza ever. I've been away from California for 21 years. But, I had tried to find the place when I visited abt 8 years ago and assume they'd gone out of business. I was really pleased when I found their info and discovered they are still open. Greatest crust ever. I still rave about it.

I've been going to Etna's for years. The food has always been better than average. The reviews raving about the pizza crust are all true. Its really good! I particularly like their lunch buffet which is pretty much everything on the menu! Its a nice low key date place where you can order a liter and settle in for the evening after a good meal. Its across the street from a very large high school which can sometimes make mid day dining a challenge. The location is in a part of San Diego that is not particularly safe any more, but thats a reflection on the city, not the restaurant. Just keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Its worth the visit.

HUGE PORTIONS: Small and romantic place that is easy to pass by if you blink, but dont or you will miss the best Italian Resteraunt in San Diego County. Not only is it a great resteraunt, it will not break the bank like some chains tend to do. They have some of the best pizza's outside the east coast establishments. Dont expect canned food or sauces they tend to actually cook food not just reheat prepackaged food.

Etna Restaurant makes the best calzones in San Diego county!

Today I was forced to look up a late night eatery and decided to try out somthing other than papa johns and carl jr.s. and as such called etna restaurant and pizza house and ordered a simple peperoni and cheese pizza.I hate to say that I spent 10 min placing an order only to have the guy taking my order abruptly hang up on. I remind you this was after him being short with me because he was unable to upsell me on a soda. It gets worse,... the delivery guys shows up an hour and a half after I place my order when the guy taking my oder says it should be there any shortly as they are currently slow. The delivery driving not only showed up to my house rediculously late but shows up with out my pizza trying to pawn off someone else's. NO THANKS! The frantic driver flees from my house to rescue my pizza from some other family in the mean time I get to deal with hungry pissed off teens. This guy comes back 20min later to bring me a cold pizza. AINT THAT SWELL! NOT! The guy still charges me full price and still gets away with a tip. I much rather have not spent the 20bucks on a bs pizza still lacks taste, decent ingredients, and comes COLD! LESSON LEARNED! DO NOT EAT HERE! THERE IS BETTER PIZZA AT A FRACTION OF THE COST ALL OVER SAN DIEGO! I would amost pay for a pizza for papa johns for anyboyd jus to not eat hear. I HOPE SOME HUNGRY TASTEBUDELESS PERSON SALVAGES THIS CRAP IN A PIZZA BOX FROM MY HOUSE!

After reading the reviews I decided to try this place out myself. Omg let me tell you that I am soooo happy I did. Me and my boyfriend have eaten at Etnas 3 days in a row now..it IS that good. I'm very picky about my food and this is one of the best restaurants period that I've had in a long time. Definately a good find!

For all the people that gave this place less than 4 starts I wonder what good italian is to them, because this food was great, maybe where they eat it is wonderful. We ordered a torpedo came with very good chips, half and half lag/spag came with garlic bread and a salad and a special pizza, very very good food, taste, not greasy, the spices used were not excessive, just great food all around

BEST IN TOWN: Large Pizza, Lasagna,Spaghetti, Salad, and Garlic Bread for only $21.50 and that price includes the tax!!!! SOOOOOO good , a ton of food, and free delivery!

Tiramisu: To die for! and they deliver!!!

wrost place ever--: When I went to this restaurant for lunch I had a horrible time, I ordered salad bar only and when I went to make my plate the salad was brown, I thought I would get something else, but it was all pretty bad: The bread was stale, the noodles were crunchy and all of the sauces had a sickening film over them, even the pizza was disgusting because the cheese was gritty and the bread was limp. I asked if they would freshen it for me but it took almost 45min, so I just didn?t get anything else. I went to the desk and said I wouldn?t pay for it since I ate nothing but they still changed me over $10 for it and were very rude. Beware of this place they just don?t seem to care about their customers.

Upon my asking, I was told "special" being the in-house pizza, of 2 toppings/large size diameter pizza. But after the order, I found out that xtra sauce be an "xtra $1.00" Vs the high many pizza businesses charge only for xtra cheese. The pizza being to go. Once I ate the first slice --- there was only 1 of 2 ordered toppings; so I thought I got scammed. Later, I ate the 2nd slice: there was the pepperoni, from request (but not the 2nd orferd topping). But this was the thinnest pepperoni I had of anywhere pizza was made. So thin, anyone WILL mistake this for the sauce, when (a) looking on the pizza (b) eating the the slice that has the pepperoni. Unless you eat -carefully- slow enuff. And most consumers NOT eat pizza slow, when they are hungry. Later, as I met a public service person --- I had to share this experience to him. He litely laughed at my above. Even though he said to have eaten there before. But once I told him in what I paid: his eyelashes & neck were litely pulling up. "YOU could get double that, @ __ & __, for that price." As I came home to eat more --- the crust stand out -- more than the pizza itself. 1/17 Update As I finish up, the refrigerated slices. the 2nd to last slice be the largest overall of the entire pizza. (no changes, during the whole time, about the pepperoni) But this slice has been having lesser crust; proven by the breaking alignment of the slice. As this being the biggest undercrusted/undersauced slice -- with too much cheese. ('dry') California can't survive an earthquake; "Etna" made pizza can't survive being hand-led via a customer.

Etna Restaurant: Very good pizza. Really great ravioli. Nice, friendly service.

Pizza!: My husband and I LOVE Etna's pizza. We drive out of our way to take one home. The value is excellent, and it's got a unique flavor. The crust is a sweet, sugar-based dough. They also have a large assortment of toppings.

Best Calzones in SD Bar None!: The Calzones in this restaurant can go toe to toe with any restaurant in Chicago. A definite must experience if you never had or miss the Chicago Style Calzones. Ask for Henry and he will take care of you.

Henry, the Server is as good as the Pizza...Great!: My family and I have been eating at Etna's since 1977. That must mean we love it. And indeed we do. Henry the server is as good as it gets with exceptional service in San Diego. My experience at Etna's is always the greatest, but with Henry as m server it is even better. Oh by the way the pizza is the best with real pepperoni's baked into the pizza, and you can't go wrong with not one of the baked pasta's! Also the calamari is superb! Enjoy and ask for Henry.

Great Italian: IT'S GREAT Italian food....

One of the best Italian Restaurants in San Diego. I've tried all of the pastas and baked dishes none of which has yet to fail me. The pizzas are also very good. All pastas and baked dishes come with a free salad which you can help yourself at the salad bar. I also recommend the tiramisu for dessert. Might I mention their service is exquisite as well? I love this place!

When ever I work down in that area usually at nightthe contractors almost always order pizza from here because they are open late at night and also the one contractor always knows what specials they usually have going on. (He lives in the area)The pizzas are the best deals!

I have eaten there through the 1970's 80's and 90's and I'll tell you that this place knows how to pile on the goods and make the best sause in the west.
