Knockout Pizza (Mira Mesa) + VG's (Cardiff)

Went to a kiddie birthday party this week at Pump It Up in Sorrento Valley. They do a great job there, and the kids have fun. They are using Knockout Pizza now, though I remember getting bad/Domino's-ish pizza there in the past.  Knockout used to be nicknamed "Knockoff" by the Bongiornos, but at least it's an imitation of something good. Tried spinach/ricotta and eggplant pizzas - both delish. Plain cheese was ok - not as good as Sicilian Thing but better than Domino's.

VG's: always makes great cakes. White cake is a little lemony for my taste, but the cakes are beautiful with great chocolate frosting.

They also make good and inexpensive *cupcakes* though they get overlooked for Sprinkles etc. Tried tastes of:
--choco/peanut butter: FANTASTIC frosting, boring cake (still worth getting for the frosting)
--red velvet: fine for red velvet
--carrot cake with coconut cream cheese icing: delicious icing, ok cupcake

Nice to have decent food at a kiddie party!
