33 Best Pizza Restaurants in Escondido

“Best pizza and kind employees. Great place to get the pick-me-up we need from this crazed world.“

“We recently visited the newer location in Chandler, AZ after hearing they had amazing pizza—and we were so excited to try it! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. Since it was our first time, the staff took the time to walk us through the menu and help us find exactly what we wanted, which we really appreciated. We started with the Burrata salad to share—absolutely delicious! Then our pizza arrived right on time. It was slightly off from what we had ordered (and honestly, that could have been on me), but without hesitation they made us a new one. We didn’t mind one bit—we were enjoying a fabulous glass of wine in the meantime! When the new pizza came out… WOW. Hot, fresh, and packed with amazing flavor. Truly so, so good. What really stood out, though, was the service. Alec came over personally to make sure we were 100% satisfied and even gave us a gift card for a small pizza on our next visit. We were honestly in awe—he gets it. First impressions matter, and they nailed it. Alec and the entire staff—thank you! We will absolutely be back (many times). We left feeling so impressed and taken care of. I only wish more places had this level of customer service!“

“The weather took a sharp turn on our event high winds and harsh rain but for some reason that was masked by the PIZZA! The authentic pizza owners communications is on point, making sure we were satisfied from the first call to this review!
The pizza was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor! They’re real Italians too! We had Italians at the party and they kept going back for more. That says a lot! Such a huge hit, and we would definitely recommend them!

Oh and there were 50 people and we ordered them for 70 people and the pizza ran out!

I am eternally grateful for their service! Especially serving us at the party in the rain“

“This is a fun place I recommend going here often,the food is awesome and it's a good place to hang out with friends,family and kids.“

“The food is amazing. Had their new Grinder Sandwich and it was soooo good. The salad was fresh and the ingredients were plentiful. Great meal and great atmosphere. would highly recommend.“

“Been coming in for 30 yrs“

“Outstanding Chicken Parmigiana with a side of friendly, welcoming service at Rock On Pizza in Esco! I saw their recent promotion of this new dish and had to try it. Only $9.99 for now but it’s easily worth double that. Spaghetti was al dente with a richly flavored marinara. Their execution of this dish, in a humble strip mall pizzeria, rivals or exceeds some sit down Italian restaurants in the area. Highly recommended. Comes with bread 🤗“

“ottima e vera pizza italiana servizio ottimo“

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“Ava our server was just so amazing! Such a great attitude and got our food/ beverages out in a timely manner. Definitely would give that girl a raise!“

“When I try a new pizza place I always order a plain cheese so that they can't mask the quality with a bunch of toppings. With that said, they had a really good classic cheese pizza that had great flavor what you would expect a plain cheese to taste like at a really good price.“

“Delicious and great price. Owner is really nice!“

“First time there food was delicious“

Kindly name 3 of my songs you love so much...“

“Incredible food and excellent service ! Everything is perfect! Michelle and all staff are so amazing ! Thank you for having us and offering such delicious pasta and pizza! Thank you all and happy holidays!!!“

“Super chill place! I was really impressed with the fig flatbread. Can’t wait to try other menu items :-)“

“Fantastic food!! Reasonably priced and quick service too. Will definitely eat here any time I'm in the area!“

“Placed an order to be delivered. Ordered pizza bowl which was tasty but had no cheese. I added some shredded cheese left over from another salad. Cheese made it even better. Garden salad was very fresh.
Freshest salad I've had in a long time. Good job....boneless chicken with garlic parm was also good. Ordered pizza on Saturday for delivery. Both times delivery service was on point. Never had to use this service but my car in shop. It is good to have an alternative. Also had a problem with app and call store. Store provided great customer service. Sara was very helpful after app would not accept card. Marcos management is doing a great job keep up the exceptional service. Thank you & Plan on returning even if I get just a salad.😄“

“Best fresh pizza and I been a customer for years best pizza in Escondido“

“Made my pizza really quick.I messed my order on the app before I could even say make it over. They suggested they would make it over which they did and it tasted great Very friendly and quick solving. They had excellent customer service and I will definitely be back.“

“I could not get to this place due to it being inside a Target store. Who wants to deal with that? That parking lot has had numerous fender benders due to rude people in a hurry. I skipped this place and went deeper into Escondido to Round Table Pizza and that made my day.

Parking: Crazy. People will walk behind your car like you aren’t even there. Everyone is in a hurry to get ran over line it’s Death Race 3024! It shouldn’t be this difficult or stressful to get a personal sized pizza. Skip this place that already has below average reviews and go somewhere else. Pieology is right across the street. They are a pizza place with better parking and less suicidal foot traffic idiots.“

“GREAT FOOD, BETTER EXPERIENCE... BEST OWNERS! QUALITY! Like being at Home.“

“Carrying artisanal pizzas, two rotating craft beers, and salads and soda, this intriguingly named pizza stand sits near the carousel (or merry-go-round). The pizza is delicious—it's what you'd expect from a craft pizza shop, not the Zoo or Safari Park. It must be cooked in a stone oven. Plenty of shaded outdoor seating options nearby.“

“My experiences here have always been great! I had the awesome lunch special and the customer service was top notch. The meal was fresh with some fabulous flavor. I definitely will be back when I’m in the area. I miss the pizza buffet, which hasn’t been there since COVID.“

“Good pizza better then little ceaser Would definitely visit there again“

“Only one employee that I saw, he made eye contact with me and the gentlemen behind me and still chose to ignore us for a good 3mins or so.... other then the bad service everything else was ok.. if your looking for prompt service and awesome employees that care go to the Domino's on Lincoln“

“Just visited and was immediately impressed with quality beverage selections and food offerings. The owner actually touched base and was very friendly. I will be back to try the food. Sorry that the market/ pizza place next door gets confused with this place. The 5 star reviews of the other place actually had photos of the interior I just saw in person...If you are any where in the area you should definitely give them a try.“

“Pulled up to Papa John’s Escondido on Center City Pkwy and Wasim, the manager, really came through. I’ll be real — using EBT can feel embarrassing sometimes, but he made it easy, respectful, and comfortable. Patient, professional, and always smiling — that kind of service is rare.

We grabbed the $29.99 special (two topping pizzas), plus the Canadian bacon & pineapple and Alfredo spinach specialty pies — and yeah, I couldn’t resist the popper bites. Chefs back there did their thing, food came out perfect.

Hours run about 11 AM–10 PM on weekdays, last orders before close. They’re on DoorDash and Uber Eats too, but honestly, if you walk in, you’ll see why the in-person vibe makes all the difference.“

“Never disappointed. Always fresh and delicious . Friendly employees as well.“

“I have been waiting to try your pizza! It was worth the wait! 5 stars!!!!“

“Papa John's, My wife is mad at you. There are always 2 pieces of pizza missing when I get home. Sorry to put you in such a bind.“

“I love bringing my daughters here however a lot of the time the workers don’t seem friendly or that they care for the job. They also NEVER do their child check even though thats the one biggest reason for bringing them here. Brian the manager is the only one who ever does a child check. The employees made a stink about my family asking for a new salad bar plate even though it’s your policy and takes 5 seconds to do.“

“fast friendly service only place i will order pizza from“
