About MOM's Pizza & Pasta

A San Diego Restaurant Built on Love and Family

Inspired by our late mother’s legendary kindness, MOM’s is a tribute to her belief that everyone is family. From inviting the mailman for lunch to serving San Diego with passion, we use fresh ingredients and second chances to ensure every guest feels at home from the first bite to the last.
