Oggi's Mission Valley Review

Are you still stuffed from all the food you ate last week?  I am, and this week it is time to go check out a new place to watch the game and stuff my face.  The restaurant review for this week is Oggi’s Pizza and Brewing Company in Mission Valley.  Oggi’s Pizza and Brewing Company is located at 2245 Fenton Parkway #101 in Mission Valley; right next to Qualcomm Stadium.

     Remember I will focus on set up and game selection, food and prices, service, and environment (all scores out of five).

TV set up & game selection: Oggi’s is a great restaurant to watch all the games on a Sunday morning.  The restaurant consists of a dining area with a 360° view of every game and a bar with several TVs.  In the restaurant every game is shown, however sometimes every game is not visible from every spot and other times you get stuck watching duplicate games.  On the days that you show up early and get a good seat, it’s a heavenly day of football.

Food & Prices: Oggi’s is well known for their pizzas and the selection of beers.  Be forewarned that the menu includes pictures that do not look appetizing, yet the food is delicious and is well worth its cost.  Nothing on the menu is priced over $13.95 for one person and is pretty filling.  If you go take an opportunity to order a pizza; I would recommend the SLAM DUNK (truly delicious!).  The food is good and there is a variety of burgers, sandwiches, and pizzas.  Oggi’s definitely has a good array of sports bar food at a price that won’t set you back too much. NOTE: that there is a $10 minimum per guest; however it is not strictly enforced.

Service: As is common in every restaurant, the server that day is the person that leaves you with your impression of the service of the establishment.  With Oggi’s being a smaller establishment you get better service and more attention from your server.  The servers walk around with their favorite team’s jersey and at times stop to converse with patrons about the going ons of the games. 

Environment: Oggi’s has the feel of a sports bar with jerseys all around the restaurant.  You can find them on the walls, the servers, and, of course, the patrons.  A variety of teams are represented and you often over hear some good conversation about the games.  Oggi’s embraces the sports bar environment and that makes this a great place to enjoy the food and football. 

     Overall, I would have to say that Oggi’s Mission Valley is a solid option to watch the games and get some grub.  With great pizzas and thirst quenching brews, you can’t go wrong.  So if you want to get the San Diego Chargers Game Day experience without the tailgaiting, head out to Oggi’s Pizza and Brewing Company in Mission Valley.
