Grand Pizzeria And Sports

For a large $30 meat lover pizza this is unacceptable. Our pizza is burned and taste like charcoal and I will never feed my kids with this. We're new to the town and we're exploring local restaurants around. Not a good experience to this pizzeria

We’ve attended a few comedy shows here and they are really good! The pricing is great and pro tip, I definitely recommend getting on the mailing list via email because there’s even better pricing available for tickets through that. Also, seating front and center is best so definitely get there when the doors open for that. The pizza was amazing the first two times we went to the comedy show but then they changed the format to improve service for the shows and the quantity seems less and there’s no longer an option to customize your pizza. We ordered a gluten free crust to try and get around that but it was burnt and they were totally cool and took it off the bill. Finally, we wanted to order a pizza for lunch today and the hours say they’re open but they were closed for lunch. All in all I will definitely keep going back to enjoy the quality comedians they book at the Comedy Club and will keep trying to get that perfect pizza again through the pizzeria.

Best slice if had in a long time. Crust is thin n crispy, not a bunch of sauce, and the cheese is on point. Opens at 5pm, and you will love it

I asked for 2 pizzas to be ready at 5 pm. And when I got there they had NOT started them. They didnt have cheese ready and bell peppers they were out of them. The kid had no clue how to expedite the order. I was 20 min late to my own dinner party. The sad part was I ordered the pizzas 3 hours in advance.

Kat and Mike are awesome, this place has really good service. They cut their pizza in squares, makes it more convenient to eat in my opinion. Thats a plus for me (; people who go their for their first time get a discount, i will be coming here again for sure.

Great service, pizza and ambiance with Jason-Had 1/2 margharita and half pepperoni, and a couple of wine and beers Just perfect. Fresh basil makes the pizza!!!!

Disappointed the evening pizza quality has declined since Mike👍 is no longer making it. Too much cheese (yes, there is such a thing) and too much crust. Now is the time for cutting back on ingredients and save some 💰.

This place is really good! Nice thin & crispy pizza! Didn't expect much but its amazing! Big Pizza aficionado and this didn't disappoint! Hands down best pizza in Escondido!

DOG FRIENDLY totally! We ordered a pizza to go and we were able to bring our elderly little dog in while we waited and drank some beers. Nice & clean inside with lots of TVs to view. The bartender was so nice and we chatted with him for awhile when he wasn't serving. Large beer selection and came nice and cold! At all other places, I can't tell you how many times we've paid for extra mushrooms because all places skimp on it. Literally my wife will get 1 small mushroom only on each slice of pizza but they all will smother their pizzas with meat covering it totally. So my wife's litany test is how many mushrooms come on it. Besides 1 other pizza chain that fills the top totally with mushrooms, this came close so she was happy. We got the garlic crust 1/2 mushroom & have meat lovers one. It was really good and we'll definitely will be back! While waiting, we chatted with the guy sitting next to us and he said their pastas are really good too so we'll try those next time and maybe one of their sandwiches.

I came here on a whim and the pizza was hella good. It was nice as sizzling hot. I didn't expect much but I was super surprised. The service was great .

Awesome pizza, great show venue. I was going to a comedy show in the back room but got there early so I decided to get a pizza. It's mostly for take away, but there are 3 tables to sit at with a long bench on one side and some chairs. I got a small "the works" pizza with extra sauce and it was delicious. Ample topping, gooey cheese. It was a little heavy on the Italian seasoning for me, but I think that's just my bias. The show venue is cute- nice and intimate- and you can get pizza during the show too! Drink prices are good to moderate and staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!

I had some time to kill and this place was right across the street. There is a small dining room and it was mostly empty for a Wednesday night. I was greeted by a friendly pizza guy and I ordered a small "The Works" pizza. The pizza is exactly what I would expect, but it was cut into squares instead of triangles. Fine by me because my geometry skills are on point. Pizza was great. I thought the crust was between thin crust and regular. Nice crispness to it. I ate the whole pizza and really enjoyed it. I'll be back again.

Good pizza that doesn't skimp on toppings. They cut into squares unless you request traditional cut.

The staff keep the pizza oven door open constantly so it takes double the time for pizza to be made. Over all, the pizza was good and the location was great. The ranch is out of the bottle and disgusting

I'm all for what they do to support the Comedy Club; BUT...... We came for the late show and they LITERALLY refused to serve us stating they were too busy with orders for the show that just started. We even said we were willing to grab a few drinks and put an order in and wait, but after standing at the register the girl behind the counter told someone else the dilemma that we were there for the late show and as if she was confused on what to do with us. She even went on to explain our items wouldn't count toward our two items minimum, which to have was obvious. So sadly, we walked out and took our business the next closest pizza place where we received GREAT SERVICE AND AMAZING FOOD!! So if you're coming for the late show don't plan be to eat there or if you do, wait for the show you'll definitely be served then!

Out of 5 other pizza places I chose this one. It was the picture of the meatlovers pizza that got me. So when I came to pick it up I said. I hope it looks like the picture. The man said what picture? I said the one for the meatlovers on yelp. He then showed me, so I said right away that there was no comparison. I said it in a very dissapointiong way. And that was it. They didnt ask to see tne difference, or try to possibly send me away happy. Or at least happer. I thoght well, it could taste great but I was wrong. It kinda tasted like a frozen pizza. Sad

Went to a comedy show today (super great will be back), unfortunately my pizza was completely cold. Had a good flavor but it was cold like it was made waaaay before the show . Might give the place one more try but I hate cold pizza

Really great pizza! Thinner crust, and always cooked well/fresh. Favorite is the margherita. Bread sticks were also buttery and tasty. The marinara sauce has a nice spice mix to it, and it's very sweet. Salads are just ok, but this is a pizza place, so I'm rating based on that. Definitely my favorite pizza place on Grand Ave.

Really delicious, good wine and beer, did a split of the pizza we wanted, please just watch the world go by, what a great spot! And bring your mutts if you can get the first table outside! yum thank you.

Pizza was over cooked and the Sauce was way over seasoned....too much oregano/garlic.

Stopped in tonight after looking on Yelp for a pizza place. This is next to the new comedy club on Grand avenue. Restaurant is small but clean. We ordered a medium Hawaiian, small meat lovers, small cheese pizza, and garlic bread sticks. The pizzas were great. Thin crust that was nice and crisp. Toppings were nice. The one low point was the raw garlic on the bread sticks. Roasting the garlic would take off the acidic bite and make it more pleasant. The tomato sauce was ice cold-also unpleasant. Pizzas were good. Bread sticks weren't. I would come back again and skip the bread

Best margherita pizza in town! Fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes. Everything is on point here. So good

Friday night #dinelocal took us to Grand Pizza for the first time. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a cheese pizza. There was unanimous agreement that the sauce was possibly the best we've had. The thin crust was quite delicious! We called our order in and it was ready in 15 minutes. #SupportLocal #ShopLocal #DineLocal

Amazing pizza! It's hard to find exceptional thin crust pizza in So-Cal, but here it is! Grand Pizzeria has awesome, fresh toppings, quick service with a smile, amazing cheese blend, and flavor that is exceptional. We will be back soon!

Hubby found this pizza place so we decided to try it. Pizza was delicious. Reminded me of the New York style pizza. The prices are not bad at all. Customer service was great. Highly recommend and we will return.

Went to the cosmedy show. watching them making pizza , picking up ingredients with no plastic gloves are unsanitary. No pizza from that joint, NASTY!

Glad I found this pizza spot! You can't find the Midwest / Chicago style thin crust square cut anywhere in SD, but this place nailed it! Prices were super reasonable, and I'm looking forward to getting to take the wife to the comedy club that's attached to it someday soon too. Awesome spot to hang with a patio for Cruisin Grand too.

Exceptional crust. Clean and new...kids LOVED the free pacman machine. It'll be hard for them to wait their turn with one machine, but worth it

Was in the area had a pizza craving and stopped in. Ordered The Works. The crust was thin east coast style and was crunchy on the outside yet the right amount of chewy. The slices were cut small squares which would be good for kids. The toppings were fresh and flavorful. My server Kat was friendly, helpful and attentive. I recommend this place.

Grand is getting a few new restaurants and we have been waiting for them to open ... Grand Pizzeria is one of them and our families New favorite pizza place so yummy you can taste the quality of ingredients. Extra bonus the people who work there are awesome !!!!

This has been our fifth time here. We truly enjoy this place. Mike is awesome and remembers what we got in the past so I don't mess up what my bride likes..lol. anyhow please give them a try. Till the next visit.

Phenomenal service. Pizza was good and quick, from order to table in 10 minutes. This place is on the up and up. The comedy club looks cool and we will be checking it out soon.

Great pizza. I drive a while to get their food. Nice folks work and run the place. My favorite is mushroom and salami.

I'm born and raised in Brooklyn NY, so I think I know good pizza (hope that does not sound too pretentious). With that said, Grand Pizzeria in Escondido has excellent pizza, one of the best I have tried in San Diego. In addition to tasting really great, the large pizzas are very large, as good as the pizza is the more the better. Also ordered an anti-pasta salad, also excellent and large portions. This place is definitely my new go-to for pizza in the area!

My family and I had a long day and were all exhausted when dinner time rolled around and decided to grab a pizza. We're new to Escondido so we hit up yelp and thought we'd give Grand Pizzeria a try. WOW!!! We were blown away by the pizza. We got a thin crust Meat lovers pizza and it was packed with flavor and the crust was perfect. It was cut into squares which worked out well with the kids. Definitely going back again for our next pizza. Great staff. Two thumbs up.

Waiting for a decent pizza place in Esco. This is a maybe. Crust decent, individual size pizza good option, sausage excellent, tomatoes not ripe and tasteless (if you can't find decent tomatoes don't serve them on the pizzas, a pink styrofoam tomato ruins the pie), salad respectable if boring. Obviously the owner is more interested in the comedy side of things than the food. It won't make it if the food doesn't improve. Too many other options for people. Off to the coast again!

We were there for the comedy club which is separate and in the back. We ordered the garlic breadsticks while we were waiting and they were delicious. You can also order food to eat during the show. Next time we will try the pizza. It looked great.
