“We had Criscito Pizza as our late-night snack at our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing to work with! From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional and made the entire process seamless. They brought their wood-fired pizza oven along with all of the tables and supplies needed, making setup completely stress-free for us.

The team was so kind and friendly to both us and our guests, and they were making fresh pizzas in what felt like minutes, it was incredible to watch! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the pizza was all night long. We are so happy we chose Criscito Pizza to be a part of our wedding day and would highly recommend them! I'll be daydreaming about this pizza!“

“We came here with our dog on a rainy Saturday night. We were so glad to find a place with a covered patio. But then we were pleasantly surprised with how amazing the beer and pizza were. Duh. It’s in the name. lol. Anyhow there was some confusion about our pizza but Donny went above and beyond to make it right. It was a little hectic because it was so busy but if we weren’t visiting we’d definitely be regulars. Try the Detroit style hot honey, I’ll be dreaming about it.“

The Gilato was delicious too- try the cannoli flavor! Not only was the food great, but the customer service matched. The two ladies were beyond friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!“

Delivery was lightening fast. Highly recommend!“

“Best pizza I've had in a long time. Crust is perfectly made the way I like, crisp on the bottom, but not all the way through, I have tried most of their selections. It's hard to pick just one, so I get a whole pizza and some slices to get the full experience.“

“I wanted to like the pizza more but have to admit it was just okay. Maybe because my slices were a little crunchy? Also nothing flavor wise really made it stand out. The cheese and sauce were doing the bare minimum. I could just be spoiled because there's too many other pizza places around. There's no bathroom to wash your hands before you eat but they do offer hand sanitizer. On the plus side they do offer draft beer which pairs nicely with your slices and the staff was very friendly. I would be willing to try this place again.“

“Had ordered Salad and pizza’s all were fantastic . Server was awesome !!!! We love your pie’s Buona 😍😍😍😍“

“Excellent fresh NY style pizza. Never disappoints. Friendly staff.“

“Great pizza and the owners are wonderful caring people.“

“Met the owner and his family on the train going toward Encinitas and they were some of the coolest train folk I’ve ever met. They were kind enough to give me and my partner a free box of their grand slam pizza (which we both devoured due to the deliciousness.) I think it’s safe to say that, that was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had on a train before. Or ever. I’m not located in vista whatsoever, however, I’d make a 2 hour trip to grand slam solely to get another taste of that pizza. (And ranch!) I never got the owners name unfortunately, but me and my partner were very grateful for your kindness and pizza that day. Hope to visit grand slam soon!!“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“

“Try Lunch specials...lunch pizza really good. Salads are good. Service is friendly and usually fast. Servers have to dish out salads and drinks slowing them down. Good access and parking.“

“Crust & Brew is a great spot to chill, watch sports, or get together with friends. Their happy hour deals are great, and everything on the menu has been great! I’ve had the pasta, pizza, and finger foods. Nothing I’ve had has been bad yet.

All the girls are very helpful and great at engaging with the guests. Definitely give it a try, and you’ll turn into a regular as well 😎“

“I had not ordered from ths Roundtable for quite a while because I was unhappy with the quality and the delays in delivery. Today, however, my son requested Roundtable so I placed an order. When the pizza arrived--it was on time, by the way-- it was hot, fresh, and DELICIOUS! Toppings were fresh and abundant. Don't know what caused problems in the past, but they have now been corrected, and I am happy to recommend the Rancho Peñasquitos Round Table pizza on Black Mountain Road.“

“Pizza Port has unique, delicious pizza, salads, and beer!“

“Visiting my son before his deployment. The owner went out of his way to take care of us. I would highly recommend any military family to visit here. Food was very good too.“

“Ever since my father found Pizza Amore we've only ever have stuck with these pizzas. The owner is always very kind and friendly when I come to pick up the pizzas. As a young girl the GIANT NY pizzas wowed me with the slice being the size of my 11 year old forearm. Super great and always the go-to outting food when we had guests over. Also tried my first Calzone here and it is one of my favorite dishes. Daily fresh homemade dough and marinara sauce are incomparable. I highly recommend this place.“

“Pazzos is the best Italian in Scripps Ranch. Since 93 they have been serving up good pies and cold brews. The Eggplant Parma is all time. Insider tip....get the 12 inch.“

“Had a great dinner, our server Greg was amazing! Will definitely be back“

“There is a covered patio dinning outside area and a enclosed dining area in the back of the restaurant.
Both would hold a large group.
We reserved the enclosed dining area.
This was perfect for the group.
Only, problem...the room requires more lighting for evening dining especially above the buffet/food table.“

“Been going to the one Encinitas +25 years..always the BEST! Beer, salad bar, pizza, sports and classic arcade too... Always that GREAT TASTE. ��“

“If u want a place to watch sports and enjoy beer this place is definitely an option. It’s filled with locals . The pizza was hot and ooey gooey in all the right places . They have specials every night and a fully loaded menu for your game night.“

“I had not been to Round Table in probably 40 years but was in town visiting my Dad and we decided to go for dinner. When I tell you this was like walking into a time capsule.... my goodness! All the years of pop warner football, cheer, all the birthdays, etc. Still THE best pizza. So many memories. I love it!!!!!“
