Pernicanos Family Italian - El Cajon

Manager Gary P. always there on hand to ensure you are always satisfied and happy. Great food, v nice portions, excellent pasta the red sauce is super good! Mangia!

Pretty disappointed… food was cold, we were missing a salad. The food was nothing special may have been better if food was warm. This was take out, I waited for the food and I live less than 5 minutes away so it should have been at least warm.

The pizzas are incredible!!! Tasty crust loaded with lots of veggies. Try it.

Pernicano's is one of those humble, family-owned joints that sticks around because of its welcoming, un-pretentious nature, both in its interior décor, and in the modest, just-like-Grandma-used-to-make quality of its cuisine. It's down-to-earth, warm, filling, and just what one needs on a cold, rainy day like the one we were treated to during our visit. It won't win any awards, but there is little to complain about; you know exactly what you were going to get the moment you opened those moustache-handled doors out front.This was the location my mother-in-law selected for a small family reunion of sorts, as my wife (and I) were in town for a few days, and there were a lot of people who wanted to meet up with us. What better place to reconvene with family than in a place that honors and cherishes family? A few pizzas and pastas to pass around between loved ones is special thing.Good food, good prices, good service, good company. Good all around.

ME AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS LOVED IT. U CANT BEAT THE PRICES ON DAULY SPECIALS AND THEY GIVE U A DECENT SIZED TASTY SALAD WIT IT ALSO THE PIZZA IS TOP NOTCH IVE BEEN GOING HERE FOR 47 YEARS NOW. I DO MISS THE OLD SHORT SKIRTED AND LO CUT BLOUSE WAITRESSES FROM THE OLD
