Wood-fired pizzas, seasonal toppings, deviled eggs & butterscotch pudding




























"A mainstay in North County, Blue Ribbon was an early practitioner of California’s now-signature style of pizza topped with seasonal ingredients. The wood-fired pie shop is the brainchild of chef Wade Hageman, who opened the pizzeria in 2010 after a career in fine dining. The exposed wood beams on the ceiling and brick-lined bar give the spot a homey, relaxed vibe." - darlene-horn

"After nearly a decade in Encinitas, I've noticed Blue Ribbon Artisan Pizza has just started serving breakfast; the popular eatery, which debuted in the Lumberyard Shopping Center in 2010, is now open daily starting at 8 a.m. From 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., chef/owner Wade Hageman is serving a menu of wood-fired breakfast sandwiches to complement his farm-to-table pizzas offered at lunch and dinner. Priced at $8, the sandwiches include a fried egg, organic arugula, and fillings that range from smoked bacon and marinated tomatoes to fig compote and herbed mascarpone, and the breakfast lineup is supported by freshly baked bread from a local bakery and a specialty coffee program." - Candice Woo

"The taqueria is going into Encinitas’ Lumberyard Shopping Center on Highway 101, where it joins Blue Ribbon Artisan Pizza and JoJo’s Creamery." - Candice Woo

"Locals have long been lining up for a seat in this cozy eatery where a wood-burning hearth bakes up 11-and-a-half inch pizzas topped with everything from homemade meatballs and arugula pesto to mozzarella and ricotta with lemon zest and basil. Don’t miss the chef’s signature dessert, a dreamy butterscotch pudding." - Candice Woo
