What happened after Food Paradise?
The episode featured Filippi's Pizza Grotto's family-recipe pizza and old-world Italian market at its original Little Italy location on India Street in San Diego. The pizzeria traces back to 1950, when its founders opened an Italian grocery, Cash & Carry Italian Foods, on India Street, before expanding into the pizzeria still run today by family members of the founders. The restaurant's website offered active online ordering as of a September 8, 2026 check, and Yelp's listing for the Little Italy location, updated in September 2026, showed current hours of 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Google Places listed the business as operational at 1747 India St in the same check, corroborating that the original Little Italy location remains open.
