14" Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza

I love to come here for pizza no matter which one I get it's always delicious. Love the lasagna and the fried mushroom appetizer is a must have each time as well. Always excellent service in a great atmosphere.

Chicken Marsala

I grew up in El Cajon and remember going to Pernicano's with my family. I haven't been there for probably 20 years but finally took my husband and....... The Chicken Marsela was the best!!!! It was tender and the sauce, the sauce (yes I have to say it twice) was amazing. My husband loves Lasagna and that is what he ordered. He actually said it was the best he has had hands down. I am telling everyone I know to head over to Main Street and visit the best Italian Restaurant anywhere.

Lasagna and Spaghetti Monday Special

Back home after 14 years away. Still great food. Portion size was very filling and price allowed us to afford the gasoline to drive there :)
