Paradise Pizza

The atmosphere is cozy and old-school, reminds me of a pizza place I grew up going to in my high school years. The pepperoni pizza was very cheesy. the sauce was so fresh and the pizzas and garlic bread were delicious! The Mexicali pizza was so tasty!Great place to stop and eat at after visiting Legoland!

Ordered the 12" Mediterranean pizza. The menu said the pizza had roasted tomatoes, however, they forgot to put them on the pizza I ordered. That is a shame because it would have helped to cut this salt bomb that was overloaded with olives and feta cheese. It was so salty that I couldn't taste anything else.

Best chicken pizza I’ve ever had. Not greasy. Freshest tasting pizzas ever. 57 with tax for two pizzas is still quite a bit for two large pizzas, even if they are tasty.

Great place for pizza. The owner was helpful and kind, even when working the multiple orders that came through. He was busy with DoorDash orders but made sure we got good service. Support small local businesses!

Awesome Pizza, place is a bit slow/small maybe because of a hidden location but very good quality

PLEASE FIX YOUR WAIT TIMES so we don’t look like jerks!… your food is amazing… but being told after your order platform told us it’s ready. We go to the store and is told will be another 15 minutes. I don’t mind waiting…. I just want an accurate time, so I don’t look like a jerk coming in too early… Placed at 6:26… “ready at 6:41”… got here at 6:50 was told another 15 minutes. This happened last night too… Food is amazing! 7:08… was told another 5 minutes. I’m done. Walked out.

Go-to spot for pizza in cbad. The beet and goat cheese salad is also very good! Definitely recommend!

I think this is one of the most underrated pizza spots in the village. Not much indoor seating but plenty outside. This place isn't overrun with tourists and has a very local atmosphere.

Amazing gluten-free pizza. This is our go to pizza place after a family beach day and it never disappoints!! Love this place!

Solid pizza if you're in the area and craving conventional pizza with a medium-thin crust and lots of options for toppings. The Margherita was really good and I especially like how thr tomatoes were well-seasoned with olive oil and salt and pepper, and the basil was chopped up and evenly dispersed so that you get very even bites. The crust was somewhat thin and crunchy at the end but the undercarriage wasn't too thin where it was flopping around, although I still had to fold it at times. The pepperoni was not bad, but I couldn't help but notice a couple of slices could've used several more pepperoni. It looks like it was rushed but there were no other customers at the time.

Pretty good pizza. Stopped by for a slice and they didn't have any but they did have a five-dollar one topping mini pizza deal that came out in about 15 minutes. I'd come back for another one! Apparently, they also have gluten free pizza. Will have to check that out next time.

Finally got to try this one, my husband got the meaty Italian which was really good, i tried the gentle Italian- for some reason more toppings were on it than there should be, which normally would be great but unfortunately I do not like bell peppers. So beware it's sometimes made differently. The guy working didn't seem happy to be there. It's a small place with one main table inside, but there are tables outside to sit. Would definitely come back to try another pizza.

I come to paradise pizza more than I care to admit but I can't help myself. Their craft and specialty pizzas are top notch if you like good authentic pizza along with amazing sandwiches. I have yet to try everything on the menu but every time I go back I strive to try something new. Highly recommend if ordering for a party or even a lazy night in watching a movie.

Quality pizza that tastes great. The only thing I wish I could change is their prices. It's pretty high and I wish I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it or else we'd get it more. It'd be nice to have coupons sent out by them.

I was excited to finally try this place out and I so enjoyed the one bite I was able to have. Unfortunately, we did have to throw our pizza out due to finding a couple strands of hairs melted into the cheese. That being said, the food was really good I know humans have hair and humans make the pizza, and it's a busy Friday night, let's just try to be careful moving forward, please and thank you!! :)

My pizza tasted great It was delivered a little later than we thought but we understand on prime time. We will definitely come back.

First of all this is NOT a restaurant. It's a pizza kitchen with a few chairs in a cheerless waiting area. It's in kind of a sketchy location. The pizza is pretty good. I ordered double pepperoni and actually got double pepperoni; they didn't skimp. The Caesar salad is a build your own affair. Bowl of lettuce with a handful of parmesan; you do the tossing. Their prices for a takeout place are on the high side. A small pizza and salad will set you back $25+. Go for the pizza but not to dine-in.

Really Quality Pizza. I had the Goat and there was an abundance of roasted garlic cloves. It was a delight to devour.

Excellent pizza, hade thin crust,,, perfect, delivered in s timely fashion.. Incredible toppings... easy choice. Excellent !!!

Very friendly service. Pizza, meatballs and garlic bread was fantastic. Would definitely go back and highly recommend. Classic pizza joint feel to the place.

I had never been to this place before. Joseph greeted us with a great smile and answered all our questions. I had wings, a calzone and pizza. Wow!!! The wings were great!!! The pizza was great also. The calzone was huge!!! I will recommend you come eat here. Thank you Joseph again for your great customer service

Hands down this is the greasiest pizza I've ever had, so disappointed . And to top it off they use ranch from a bottle which ruined it more. I came here based off reviews. Never again

Wow! Today was my first time here. I eat vegan as much as possible but don't really care for vegan cheese, so I tried it here with no cheese at all. It was delicious and made perfectly.

You'll feel the love when you enter here. I'm local and proud of this pizza shop for being here and making great pizza. The Gentle Italian is a vegetarian option that is bombastic with the ricotta and roasted tomato. I had to remind myself to slow down and rest or else I would've gone for the third slice. I want to explore other things on their menu. The owner hyped up their salads so I'll add it to my order next round.

I love supporting small local places and this place is so very good. The best part about their pizza is the crust. It's not overly sweet and they don't coat it with extra oil or seasoning like a lot of major chain places. We love your Margherita pizza!! We found them through the popular delivery service and I don't think I've ordered from any other pizza place since. Support local and try them out.

This place never cease to amaze me, their pizzas are by far the best I have ever had from around the area. Their service is always friendly and they are eagerly looking to provide you with an excellent experience. The ambient is nice and quiet. A really good place to grab a bite and just relax.

We ordered a pizza from here via Postmates. Our pizza arrived and was the wrong pizza. After contacting the driver, he said that we need to call Paradise Pizza. My wife called and Paradise said that we needed to contact Postmates. If the driver goes into the establishment and asks for the order by name and the establishment gives the driver the wrong pizza, how is that the driver's fault. I realize that delivery services are just that, a means for your food to arrive, but the establishment should take ownest on what gets delivered. When you call the establishment and they state that they are really busy and it's out of their hands, could have been handled better. How about, "We made a mistake and we will replace your pizza"? Even if I have to go pick it up. Now we are stuck with no dinner and finger pointing. We live in Carlsbad and will no longer use Paradise Pizza. If you want to order pizza, Knockout and Cusimano's is much better.

Ordered some delivery and this pizza was absolutely delicious. I am not disappointed at the slightest. The flavors were exactly what I was craving with some thin crust style pizza piled with toppings. I highly recommend this joint to anybody in the area.

My two girls said to give it a 10 star rating Went last Sunday, everything was perfect! From the service to the food! Dough was so fresh!! Wish it wasn't so far from us but we will be visiting next trip down south Also thanks for the cheesecake, perfect snack for the way home! A must try when in the area or traveling!!!

This place takes PRIDE in what they do. Late night delivery on Friday night and the pizza was perfect. And to management, Diego is the best delivery driver ever. Gave him the wrong address, handled it w no issues and professional courtesy. Give that man a promotion!

Not sure if it was just me that pizza was not good, but it did deliver on time hope this helps somebody in the future

To preface: I don't really leave reviews to places. More times than not I only review when places really hit the spot and I want others to know how great they are. So here I am writing a review because Paradis Pizza was that good. It's a small little spot but don't let it deter you. Upon entry we were greeted and felt welcomed. It is small but has some tables for dining in. We went on the later side, 6:30pm and to our luck it wasn't busy as we are visiting from out of town we wanted to dine in. We were debating on what to get and the cook told us he could do half and half, much appreciated. Since ordering 2 pizzas when we won't eat the left overs would have been too much. He took his time to wipe down a larger table for us while we finished deciding what to get. We sat down and waited for our food. We started with 12pc buffalo wings which were great. They are not overly crispy and very saucy, which we enjoyed. However your mileage may vary depending how you like your wings cooked & sauced. The buffalo flavor in the sauce was great just the right amount of spice so you get decent heat but can thoroughly enjoy them and the rest of your meal. Moving on to the pizza. Cook brought out the plates to us and then the pizza. Thin crispy crust with great ratio of toppings and cheese. There were no left overs of this pizza once we were done. The pepperoni was crispy and so delightful. The Spicy BBQ Hawaiian had a good bite from the fresh jalapeños and flavorful from the remaining toppings. Everyone was a fan even the picky eater that tends to stick with just 1 slice, got seconds. He even requested that next time we are in Carlsbad we go to eat there. So needless to say we will be back. Great pizza spot with a kind and friendly staff.

Good pizza cheap price you can't go wrong here and always Cooked to Order. Rib Tips Blazzin... l certainly recommend Paradise Pizza. Go check it out.

Love this place. I always get the meat balls and a salad. The salad is always fresh and the marinara taste amazing.

Was on a vacation and wanted to do pizza for take out. There were few places but I ended choosing Paradise Pizza and so glad that I did! Ordered a large pizza and some wings.. The pizza was delicious and so were the wings! My dad was stuck on the wings he was devouring them he was really enjoying those wings! lol my mom really loved the pizza she's usually picky about pizza and I didn't hear any complaints from her she was too busy eating away and kept saying how good it was lol. They were saying I wish there was a Paradise pizza by where we live (we're from L.A.). The guys working were nice and friendly. Next time we vacation there we're definitely coming here again for take out! I forgot to take pics lol

I don't think I'll be back not sure why my pizza cheese was so watery it was a really weird consistency. The crust and toppings tasted great but the cheese was very unusual today. It looked great though.

I go to Paradise all the time and their pizza is the best in town. I went tonight and got upcharged almost $10 for a large ($38 for a large..) and the worker couldn't even tell me why. The menu shows $28 for a large and all my other charges for pizza here were $28. When we left the counter he started gossiping about me complaining about the price to his coworker. Such a shame. Update: got home and the pizza was soggy and missing toppings.

Hello, so there are many choices for a Pie. Paradise Pizza is a Quality meal at a fair price. I do appreciate Craft over Corporate.

Great pizza! Great service! We have them deliver to the pool at Tamarack Beach Resort. They bring the paper plates and make it so easy to have dinner by the pool. Remember to tip your driver they really appreciate it

My child said please rate them a 5 ha! He got a small pepperoni and sausage pizza. Smells delicious and he loves the thin crust.

Amazing pizza and super friendly. Ordered a bbq chicken pizza with no onions and he offer a substitute. I never had a pizza place offer that lol, I got jalapenos and it was sooo good

From the moment we walked through the door the service was great! Pizza was delicious and the salad was loaded with fresh veggies! We thought we added a cheesecake to our order and we hadn't but the gentleman who served us hooked us up with a piece! Thank you for an awesome experience, we look forward to coming back!

I moved to Carlsbad four years ago from a lifetime on the East Coast. Why did I wait this long to try this pizza? The owner was delightful and endearing as he chatted with me while creating my order. The crust was light and perfectly crispy. The sauce was simple and flavorful - and the cheese had the perfect salty tang. DELICIOUS! And they don't skimp on toppings!! YUM! The inside is cute with only a few tables. If you prefer outdoor seating, there's a great picnic spot just a block away. All pizza is best piping hot - but this is my new favorite place... hands down. They have plenty of parking and they also deliver. Don't sleep on this one!

Don't waste your money. I know pizza I am from Chicago. I ordered a med well done mushroom onion sausage, well done crispy it $30 with tip for this tiny pizza it was cold rubbery and you can count the maybe 8 little pieces of sausage on there barley any toppings sauce tasted good. My suggestion is buy a Costco or Walmart take n bake pizza for $10 verses $30 for this pizza not worth it.

Pizza was really, really great. Probably some of the best pizza that I've had. Juan was awesome and provided top notch service and attention. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a really good pizza.

Paradise pizza is the best!! They have the best crust in Carlsbad, especially if you like thin crust. Definitely check them out!

I've always heard great things about Paradise Pizza - and have meant to try it, but it wasn't until our current shared COVID nightmare that I actually made it there. The service was exceptional (take out, delivery and curbside pickup only - from their back lot), the Greek and Ceasar salads fresh, crispy, and tasty - and both Pizzas (we ordered a small Cheese and a large Margarita) were perfect!! We can't wait to go back. Make sure to include a tip for the cook and curbside service staff - their expertise definitely deserves it!!! This Pizza place assuredly transports it fortunate clients to Paradise!!!

Amaaaazing customer service ---and--- they DELIVER! Romo the delivery guy was wonderful, and so kind & personable. He really wanted to make sure I was happy! Wish I got the guy's name who took my order, as he was super nice & friendly. The pepperoni pizza was pretty good. I prefer fresh mozzarella cheese, but this was still pretty good & like the pepperonis. I'd def recommend & will be ordering again & trying something else!!!

One of the best gluten-free pizzas I've ever had! I loaded mine up with artichoke, mushroom, pepperoni, tomato, & basil. Yum! The people are also very nice. It's a family-owned business who really cares.

It's hard to find these days but Paradise Pizza has great pizza and great service. Thankfully customer service is alive and well here. And being a vegetarian, it's the only place that doesn't have the same old boring vegetarian pizza like everyone else. There's is full of yummy ingredients! Great job you guys!!!

11/10 Pizza joint Everything from the atmosphere to the food itself and the service was amazing... If you are in the area and looking for a good place to grub definitely would recommend!

I would highly recommend stopping in to Paradise Pizza and giving it a try! Wow! I just tried their pizza for the first time recently and was highly impressed. You can really taste the fresh authentic ingredients that they use, and if you are like me, you appreciate a truly quality pizza. Believe me, this is hard to find! I will definitely be returning to Paradise Pizza to check out their wide array of pizza selections as well as salads, sandwiches, and even desserts. This is a hidden gem in downtown Carlsbad that you must check out!

Amazing buffalo chicken and cheesesteak pizza. I thought the cheesesteak could use a little more salt but otherwise delicious food. The guys that work there are also incredibly friendly. When we went to order there was only 1 guy cooking alone but he did great and we didn't have to wait too long! I definitely recommend. Try their tiramisu, not sure if it's made in house but it's so yummy!

The employees were wonderful and the toppings were great (and great combinations, too) but the dough was just so awful and chewy that I would never eat here again.

I've been a customer of this place for at least a decade and it's always been good, some downs but mostly ups. But I've noticed a nice uptick in quality since the relatively new ownership change, hence this review. Carlsbad's best kept secret? Maybe. In this day and age, eating out is expensive. At least this place is giving exceptionally high quality ingredients in hearty portions. The love and detail is there, excellent. You haven't lived til you've had a large Zen, add jalapeño. Do it. Live. Live, Laugh Love.

Great pizza, good prices and great customer service I've been here several time and everything I try is delicious ! Pricing is very good and they're very friendly and super accommodating to changes/custom orders This is definitely some of the best (if not the best) pizza in north county and definitely up there with places like Bronx and luigis They also have a great selection with traditional styles and more modern twist styles

I love this pizza and the staff here! It never disappoints. I live in Vista and make the trip for this place. I definitely recommend. I give them 10 stars. :)
