Pizza Port Carlsbad

Even though my pizza was suppposed to be sausage and onion instead of pepperoni, Pizza Port still gets a thumbs up. Very casual pizza place with full bar and lots of options for pizza and build your own. Saturday afternoon, middle of the Village and this place was jumping. Order pizza then sit but the pizzas were coming out fast and hot in front of the growing line.

This place is great for families or just to hit up with friends to have a beer and watch a game, or just grab a beer and chat. Fantastic beer, pizza port is one of the top breweries in the area with so many great beers to choose from, they also have beers from other local breweries on tap as well so you have plenty of options. The pizza is great and I love all the options. They are often very busy with pizza orders and it can take a while to make the pizza, I would recommend to call and order ahead of you can, or order your pizza first thing when you get there, especially on a Friday! Love Pizza Port and I always bring my friends there when they're in town!

Just a cool place to relax, have great beer and good pizza. Reasonable prices. We’ve been traveling from Texas & now Washington to this area for over 12 years for vacation and always look forward to eating here. Thanks

This place was pretty busy which is a good sign. Showed up and ordered at the counter. The mac & cheese bites were undercooked and were just ok. The portzel was pretty good. Pizza came out and it was pretty good. If you sit outside make sure you're listening for your name to be called when your order is ready, otherwise it might sit there for a bit. Overall, this is a cool place to come for lunch on the weekend.

We stopped here to have lunch because it was a brewery and we wanted beer; however, they offer wine also. We weren’t disappointed in the selection. The pizza tasted like it had basil included in the bread. The mozzarella sticks and buffalo wings were good with flavors not overbearing. There was great customer service and it’s kid and dog friendly. The part we really enjoyed was the pleasant view while sitting in the outdoor seating area but there’s also inside sitting.

Food is always delicious! Pizza. Wings and salad...it does get busy, but it is a large place to have a seat inside or outside. Always a good experience

Fantastic. Delicious pizza and beer. The pizza crust is thicker, but fluffy and chewy, think of a premium thick papa John's, but much better of course. Beers were great, I had three ipas brewed by them, the hand bag, the cartel, and the summer hazy, all exactly what they were supposed to be. Great night in Carlsbad. One downside this night, it was busy and hard to find a table, previous customers left a mess that never got cleaned, but a minor fault considering the amount of customers.

In town to celebrate Ethan's 1k subs on YT by catching trains. I had wanted to eat at a breakfast joint but Ethan suggested we try Pizza Port. Great call Mr. E. Best pepperoni pizza we ever had. Very, very damn good. From the first to the last slice. I highly recommend you look past all other pizza parlors when and if you are in the Carlsbad Village area. Inside is huge with high ceilings, nice tables, a mini arcade area and outside, shaded seating. Staff are so cool and did I mention the pizza was 100% 🔥? Keep up the great work you guys. 👏 Exceeded and surpassed my expectations.

This has been my go to pizza place for years and years because I'm old and still love this place Are go to is definitely beer buddies. We don't have a favorite we order them all so I guess depends on the mood. This time around it was cheesy buddies. Grabbed a pizza half cheese and half Hawaiian. This pizza I honestly wish they had a location closer to in the vista San Marcos area because I hate the drive but love the pizza. So I'll do the drive. On busy days either call in and order to go but be prepared for hour long waits. It gets noisy in the place but they also have outdoor seating. Definitely come here for some pizza (and beer if that's your thing too)

It was a busy Saturday evening but the staff the were calling out orders when food was ready was rude and inappropriate. They were just messing around when customers were asking for additional items (ranch, plates, etc..) they should understand they are in the customer service industry. Management should understand that too. Not coming back

I want to say we love Pizza port and have visited the one in Solana Beach many times and had positive experiences. This was our second time at this location and the experience was VASTLY different than our last one. We always order the same pizza Roma (minus mushrooms half with no salami no sausage) but this time we decided to mix it up and got the Lahaina. The review is not for the pizza flavors themselves. The pizza flavors while not to my liking were not bad themselves. It was the fact that half of the pizza crust was black. Like very dark and obviously charred. When I picked it up I asked my husband if he wanted to send it back but we had been waiting and he said no. This was also the first time ordering pizza buddies. The pizza buddies are just the pizza crust, minus sauce cut into squares and they give you marinara on the side. I don't know how in all the times I have been there I did not notice this. I thought it was going to be round balls of dough but nope. They are not that. It is LOUD in here. The music is super loud and we were sitting next to the arcade games which make their own noise which was loud and distracting. Speaking of games my husband used the machine to change a $5 to tokens. Joke was on him as the tokens did not work! He reported it to staff who gave him his money back (In coins) but only if he attempted to put it in the machine, put it in the machine and the machine did not work. Once it was reported the machines were not working they did not mark they were out of order or not working. The machines kept taking money and not working but they would not just give us our money back and eventually my husband was told that he could not get any more money back. If you know your machines do not work and people have tokens that can only be used in your establishment I do not understand why a refund would not be given. My husband got a drink from the bar and said the bar staff were nice but all the other people encountered really seemed like they hated their job and did not want to be there. We encountered 4 staff total while there and only one was helpful and communicative. Based on the experience I would not return.

Back again on our drive down to La Jolla for a Sunday in March. They've added a satellite tap bar outside on the open patio. Service was great. Pizza prices for the Vallarta ranged from $12.50 to $26.00. Glad to be back!

Been here several times over the past decade and I've never been disappointed. Fast, friendly and efficient service coupled with excellent pizza and apps. The kids also love the small arcade. If you're looking for good pizza and bred fast this is your spot. Their selection of craft beers is also on point!

I came to Carlsbad to spend time with my sister at the pumpkin patch. We got hungry afterwards and we went to Pizza Port in Carlsbad Village to get a bite to eat. We ordered a 10 in Pizza Laguna. I think my sister got a kombucha and I got soda. The pizza was really good. Made fresh to order. They were very busy but our food came out in a timely manner. Great place to have pizza and a beer. Looks like they make their own beer t. I saw some kids there and there is a miniature arcade with games to entertain the kids. Plenty of seating and this a great place to watch the game!! I will definitely be back!

Placed a togo order online and it was ready as promised! It was busy but they were still friendly and helpful. I asked if they could add a pesto drizzle on top and she gave me a generous amount of pesto on the side instead which was actually better! I ordered a small Laguna which is the veggie pizza with mozzarella cheese, olives, onions, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts. I got the pesto and red sauce mix and the pizza came out delicious! I love how fluffy the crust is and you could really taste the individual toppings. I definitely think the pizza was worth the price ($12) and would come back!

Went here on a Friday night. The place was packed. The beer was flowing, music playing and people going here and there. It was chaotic fun. Rowdy is another word I would describe that night. No waiters here. You walk up, order and get your drinks. Food, pretty much the same thing. You walk up, order and then pickup the food when they call your name. Bar seating inside with a few tables. Plenty of park bench seating outdoors. Bathrooms are small. You need to time it right or you're waiting. Great beer selection for every beer taste. The pizza is the star. Took awhile to be ready but worth the wait. Good times. Support businesses especially the good ones. Pizza Port was fun. Eat here.

We walked in we went in through the "wrong" side so we were able to see the entire establishment. Which is divided into two, one for dine and take away and the other if you're having drinks with your meal. The nice waitress who saw we were lost walked us over to the right section to order and gave us her recommendations as it was our first time here. This place was definitely busy and it did not slowed down. They do have some games and good music playing to help the time go by fast. We ordered our usual wings since you can't go wrong with that and the pizza that had plobano Chiles on it. We did do take away and had a 20 minute drive which I feel contributed to our pizza taste. It tasted good but I wish we would've had a bite right when we received it to truly get a feel for the fresh taste. We will definitely be stopping by to try other pizzas. We paid a little under $100 since we did add a few beers to try and some other items.

A planned trip with the fellas. Ambiance was nice, good location but no view of the ocean. Service was fast it to be fair there was not a lot of people when we went 1:00 Saturday) The pizza was just average the dough was too soft almost bread like. Pizza should be cooked longer and need more Sauce and toppings. I think there are better choices for a large 30.00 pizza.

This is a fun place to have a casual hang with friends. Honestly the pizza is amazing and there's a big selection. I had the Rancho Santa Fe pizza and it was so good! Yes, downsides exist. I think it's annoying that you have to listen to the intercom to pick up your order, they should consider handing out buzzers. There's also a learning curve to how to order, but once you figure it out it's a breeze! There's extra seating outside and upstairs.

Was in the area and heard from a local how much they loved this place, so I had to try it. He recommend the Margherita pizza. The service is quick and the pizza was great. Wish I could have a pizza place like this in my area.

My second time here and it's such a hit for me. Reason for the 4 stars being the wait, the size of the place never having enough seating for the amount of people, and the prices being quite steep. I always order the veggie pizza which is incredible. It's loaded with cheese and toppings which I love and has great flavor. The self serve ranch is also a highlight as most joints make you pay extra whereas here you can get as much as you want. We got the pint which was a whopping $29, while it pours out quite a few drinks and is filled to the brim, it's a hefty price for a pitcher. The quality of the food is always top notch but there's a long wait and it's very hard to find seating. It's always busy for dinner time so get there early if you want a table. It's a super cool joint to hang with friends and I love coming here.

Great options for food and drinks Lots of seating options. Opened a new bar area outside. Good seating at the bar outside with shade. TVs works outside. Not inside. Weird. Bartender outside today was friendly at times but other times seemed like we bothered him. Pizza port is always great with food and drink. Sometimes the service can be spotty. I side bartenders were great. Outside gentleman was ok.

Pizza port is a fun restaurant, with always a lot going on. It's a fun place for kids because of the arcade. It can be loud inside because of all the activity, but they are usually happy sounds. Pizza port always has a line, which does make sense given the pizza is so tasty. They have a great beer selection, and their specialty pizzas are great. It can take upwards to an hour to get your pizza because it is so popular. They have open seating, and last time I went, it seemed like the busers were on the slower side clearing tables. There was limited seating do to how popular the place was, but also they took the busers took their time clearing the tables, which lead to people not being able to sit. I'm not sure if this was just a one time deal or if it is a common occurrence, but it wouldn't prevent me from coming back. Love their pizza, beer and vibes!

This has to be the best pizza spot in town. Only downfall? It's always so busy! It's very hard to call to order ( might get stuck on hold for 5-20 min depending on the rush) . I would say estimate about a hour ahead of when you'd like to pick up your food. If you plan on staying, the line goes fairly quickly, it's served kinda cafeteria style but also has a bar. Outsides tons of seating but it does get super full. (especially during summer) They have a few TVs around the building with all the sports channels. Food is worth the wait !!!

Great selections of pizza and local beers on tap. Service is helpful with recommendations. There are two lines one for pizza and one for brew. We celebrated a successful pre-rehearsal dinner get together here on a Wednesday evening and was able to use half the upper deck for our wedding guests. The kale salad is delicious and able to feed many ! my son likes the meat pizza. we like the clam pizza and the vegetarian is also delicious. Parking up during the week and you could always go to Handels ice cream for dessert afterwards!!!!!

normally we love love love pizza port it's always fresh and they never forget any sauces but today the crew that was working during the day seemed a little rude and our food was cold they also forgot the ranch and mariana and seemed sarcastic when we asked for it they also poorly placed the toppings when i paid for them to be over the whole pizza? like i said we love pizza port and will continue to go but maybe not during the day now

3 different locations in San Diego and this one is by far my favorite place in Carlsbad! My go to is the double baked wings, Hawaiian style and the meatlover pizza! A must go if you're a out of towner or a local.

3.5 stars and 2,500+ reviews---hmm. Well, no surprises, I guess. Soggy Caesar salad, average pizza (no such thing as bad pizza) and attitude from every employee I came in contact with--exactly what I should have expected.

Wow, this is a SCENE. Pizza, craft beer, arcade games, TVs, all in a big open space a-bustle with social activity. They seemed extremely busy on a Sunday night in March. We waited in line about 20 minutes to order, then 40-45 minutes for the food to come out. It's not what we had in mind for our first meal in town when we were all tired and jetlagged. Plus, one of the pies was the wrong crust, but we were in no mood to complain. The pizza itself was pretty slammin' after all that! I can't ding them for being popular; it just wasn't the right place for us at the end of a looong day of travel. But it would be lots of fun if you come early enough or don't mind hanging out during the long wait. We saw tons of families and medium-sized groups.

One of the best pizza spots in San Diego county. Whenever I'm in town, or passing by, we definitely gotta stop here. First time coming here was in the late 90s while in the service. The food and quality has not changed. Well actually, what has changed is that their craft beer can be bought at local markets now, and there are now more Pizza Port locations in the county. Back to the pizza and beer. Really great pizza, and the selection of beer is good! This location in particular can get pretty busy, so either be prepared for a crowd and wait, or call in an order early.

Family favorite pizza spot. I always have the carlsbad along with a simple pepperoni. Quality ingredients and cooked to perfection, these pizzas are absolutely delicious. Plus, a great selection of beers on tap.

The pizza here was really yummy!! The wait for it tho made it less yummy. The pitchers were huge and very decently priced. The ambiance is very chill vibes, perfect for a casual Friday night. I think everything tasty and fresh, but we had to wait over an hour for our food. If you were to come just plan accordingly!

We have loved this place for years! Great pizza, great wings, great beer. Super fun atmosphere or you can order it to go.

Typical Pizza Port establishment, located on one of the main streets in Carlsbad, Ca. very large in comparison to some of their other locations which was good because it was extremely busy on a Wednesday night...the beers are the typical pizza port selections but this location seems to have more on tap than the one in Solana Beach...the pizzas are the same as the other locations, very good...the atmosphere is the same as the other locations, sports bar type with multiple tv's showing various sporting events of the day...really good wings at this location and for some reason they were .75 each, not sure if it was a special or happy hour but the price was right...will return, RECOMMEND

Came to pizza port on a Tuesday night. It's June in Carlsbad, and after months of overcast rainy days, it's been sunny for the last couple of days. That summer energy is in the air and the vacay vibes are strong!! I've never been to this location, only the Solana Beach one. This is definitely a busy scene! Two separate lines, one for ordering food and another for ordering beers. First come first serve seating. Patio style long tables. A handful of video games to entertain the kids. If I'm being honest, the pizza itself is just okay. But the local beers on tap and energy makes for a great overall experience. They offer non-pizza options - wings, salads, soft pretzels.

This pizza is so worth the price! I love a good thick, fluffy, loaded pizza. There are a ton of toppings on the Pizza Roma! It's like their version of a deluxe? The large pizza was plenty of food and only $27 for all those toppings! It hit the spot and more! Their pizza is also customizable so I changed the sauce and added extra pesto drizzle on top. There are at least 3-4 competitors within a 3 mile radius but I can confidently say they have the best pizza and the best price. The atmosphere is fun, but very loud and messy. Imagine a bustling brewery full of games. Service is friendly and accommodating.

This is the spot to be! If you love pizza. Check out this spot Service was good but very busy Ambience was a packed house

I went to eat with my husband here to just check it out. One of the customers notified us he waited 30 mins for a pizza. At first I was going to leave but we were too hungry. Tables were dirty and the soda fountain had an overflow of ice and nobody cleaned it. Also when we got to the counter the posted this sign. To my surprise the pizza was pretty good and affordable

After a number of annoying incidents with takeout orders during Covid, I finally decided to give Pizza Port another shot. Bummed I did. Ordered a port salad & large Monterey to go (via door dash, as I was hoping to avoid some of my prior experiences with an app-based, computerized read out for the staff.) Pizza was small, cold, and totally devoid of the usual amount of toppings I associate with a pizza from here. Disappointed. Salad was good, but wasn't made when I arrived. The person "must have missed it" who prepared the order. At least that's what the girl who made it said. Hate that you have to wait in the order line to pick up to go orders. Staff is always a bit gruff. Ugh. Disappointed & not the pizza port it was 10 years ago. I won't be back.

Solid selection of beer and food/pizza! I got the cheesy buddies with garlic and it was really good. It's basically a cheesy pizza breadstick and comes with marina and ranch dipping sauce. The parking situation is a bit difficult since it's in downtown Carlsbad but other than that, it's a great spot to hangout and grab a beer.

This place has so much space ! There's a huge beer selection along with a great menu. The pizza had great flavor and had a great amount of toppings. Personally we had the SF and I loved the combo. The crust was amazing. I loved that it actually felt like a pizza joint crust and it wasn't just flat crispiness or super thick and doughy. Also, it sounds weird, but they offer free ranch, which is just such a great accommodation.

It seems like every trip to San Diego, I somehow make it to a Pizza Port. For me, its just a great combination of pizza, beer, and beach town. They always seemed to be well placed and that's no different for Pizza Port Carlsbad, as it is conveniently located just a few blocks away from Carlsbad Village Station. For our group, we ended up ordering three pizzas, a cheese, a Canadian bacon and pineapple, and a Lahaina. The pizza was spot on that day - they all had a great crust and a nice crunch biting in. Cooked to perfection. Delicious pizza and solid local brew, really makes Pizza Port the ideal lunch spot, especially after a vigorous morning exploring Carlsbad Village. Pizza Port definitely lived up to those fond memories of previous SD trips and I of course plan to be back.

Love this place. The garlic veggie pizza is our favorite. We got 4 larges for 9 of us and it was wayyyyy too much (we had just run a half marathon too so we were a real hungry 9). We also really like the margherita pizza, and the bbq chicken is a solid choice as well. If meat lovers is your thing, then go for that too. There was a salad we got, with asparagus and other veggies. I didn't have much of it, but it was good from what I could tell, with balsamic dressing. One thing I love about pizza port is the ranch. It's top quality ranch, and I love that they have a dispenser for it so you can load up as much as you need for your pizza. Doing it right! Any time we're driving to/from San Diego or San Clemente area, we're always trying to stop by one of the Pizza Ports. We typically will call in our order too since it's usually bumpin' in there.

Absolutely LOVE pizza port! Usually hit the one in OB but we have moved our family vacations to Carlsbad so it was refreshing to have one of our favorites nearby Great beers on tap but more than anything... their pizzas!!! Pizza like nowhere else, variety of choices, gluten free as well. Service was great as it's a very relaxed atmosphere. There is also a 2nd floor outdoor seating area.

Very busy due to popularity but entirely worth it for this pizza. It's a cozy and really cool spot. I wish there were one of these near me. The pizza is phenomenal. My new favorite pizza. Just sad I have to catch a hr 10 min flight to get it or make a 7.5 hour drive. Just tells me I'll need to visit family in San Diego more often. Not just for the pizza but it sure is icing on the cake. I'm gonna have to get this pizza again before I head home.

Love coming by and grabbing a slice. Ive been coming here for years. Its gets busy on the weekends be prepared for a wait to find a place. It was busy and loud our last stop in, I do believe they do have some of the best pizza is the area but i dropped it a star because tables weren't cleared for new guests which blocked new guests being seated and the pizza had a lot of grease on the bottom this time. Throw a piece of cardboard under the pie to soak that up. Parking can be a pain as well, in the end its all worth it!

From Chicago, and I was pretty skeptical when we walked in and saw a lot of families and kids running around. It has the vibe of Chucky Cheese, except with beer instead of games : ) However, after a pretty long wait for our pizza--about an hour--our two pizzas came out. The medium crust 3-topping pizza (3/5) was good, and very filling. But the thin crust pepperoni and onion (5/5) was excellent! Plenty of toppings and flavor with a very nice sweeter sauce. Crust was thin and flavorful. Overall, I'm going to say it's worth the wait for a thin crust pizza. Would definitely go for pickup next time.

I drove for an hour to meet up with colleagues to celebrate. My first impression: "This place is HUGE!" Walking up I see that there are several places to sit outdoors with music playing & a fire pit. I walked inside the place and it was busy! I used the restroom, (which was clean) & ordered a seltzer. Which was delicious. Our party ordered a large vegan pizza, a large custom pepperoni pizza, 12 chicken wings & a Port salad. The salad was good. The 2 pizzas took over 25-30 mins be ready. But, OMG! The pizza pepperoni was amazing! The red sauce was perfect as well as the traditional crust. The wings were devoured as well as the vegan pizza! Overall our experience was good. The only complaint was there were food, napkins & utensils all over the floor from a previous party before we were seated inside. I will be visiting Pizza Port again! Bravo!

I'm always a fan of Pizza Port. -Delicious pizza. Crisp but chewy crust with lots of topping options. -Casual seating. Great for large parties. Indoor and outdoor picnic tables great for sharing. -Separate beer line to either order their beers or guests on tap. Grab some cans on the way out too! Their traditional pep is always a favorite but we recently tried an interesting white pizza called the Imperial Beach with a ricotta base and chicken, roasted poblanos, hearts of palm, garlic, basil and spicy honey. It was pretty firey but it was definitely full of lots of unique flavors and quite tasty! Location is right near State St but even on a weekend, we were able to grab a table easily.

Having had Pizza Port once only before at their OB location, I realized I made a mistake the first time with my rating. Pizza Port is a great local pizza chain that anyone visiting San Diego should check out. Pizza Port reminds me of my own childhood pizza place that's great for everyone and where all families go to after their kid's weekend sports event. Sure many of these places might not serve the greatest food, but Pizza Port does it better than most. Each pizza is made to order and it comes out perfectly for you. This time I got the San Francisco and it was delicious! The toppings were all great and they actually slightly cover them with layer of cheese which is unlike most traditional pizzas where the toppings are on top. It makes each bite a fun textural difference than the usual slice of pizza. Additionally, the crust is so fluffy and chewy. At first glance you wouldn't think so, but the dough and crust here are amazing.

Cool spot in the Village, things can get going so, you will want to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. Different lines and services.

THE pizza place in Carlsbad. We came in on a Friday night, and it was busy! We were able to find a bench outside, which was totally fine considering Carlsbad weather in the summer. Just know that if you come in on a weekend night, you will have to wait 30-45 minutes for your food. I love that you can do a create-your-own pizza in three different sizes at Pizza Port! I hate when pizza places require your entire party to agree on toppings because they only make large pizzas! Pizza Port offers lots of toppings -- my favorite are the meatballs and sausage. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the pizza. I had heard that Pizza Port makes its own root beer, but sadly, that has been discontinued. Pro tip: Get the whole grain beer crust! It was delicious and so unique compared to other pizzas I've had. Overall: Pizza Port is just a fun place to be with great pizza!

Waiting for takeout I ordered here, they said an hour for a large pizza and a salad, then called my name after 30 mins and gave me just the salad in a bowl as if I was eating here. I know I said to go because I was getting a fountain soda too and said I'll pick it up with the food to go. The women with the salad responded "You said for here" with the salad after I told her it was to go and then rudely tossed it into a plastic container. Wasn't even the woman who took my order. Nasty people with bad attitudes. And she couldn't even close the salad container properly so it almost spilled everywhere. Truly wish I took my business elsewhere. Edit: so when they called my name for the pizza, it was also to dine in and that woman gave me an attitude about packing it. Then I asked for my drink, and they sent me back to the register to get it. Got my drink and they sent me back to the pickup people for a fork who couldn't bother to hand me a fork and instead pointed to the container in front of them with forks. Three truly nasty people. Really bad stuff. Oh, and the food sucked too to top it all off.

I usually love pizza port but typically go to the one in ob. This location needs to teach customer service because my daughter attempted to place an order for pick up over the phone and whoever answered was extremely rude to her and hung up the phone after she was told one hour and she said that was fine we can wait. But for some reason He just hung up on her, so rude. Needless to say, we ended up going somewhere else to eat, we will not return to this location.

We haven't been here in a while, but since we were down south, we decided to stop by. On this day, we chose the Carlsbad Pizza. It's topped with chicken, artichoke, pesto sauce, and feta cheese. Something a little different from what we normally order. The menu has lots of choices, and everything we've tried over the years has been pretty good.

Solid beer, doughy pizza, douche little guy pouring beer with "don't give a Sh*t attitude. The way he spoke to his many guests was appalling on our last visit. We've been a frequent and enthusiastic customers for years. We will have to go to Bressi Ranch or Solano Beach and I am sure they're happy to not deal with me and over the moon that I won't be returning. How do I know? Sent a private message and never got a response.

Casual atmosphere. Kid and dog friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the register, they call your name when ready, and you go pick it up. Odd that they call you to get bits and pieces of your order. I went up 3 different times to complete the order. Fast and friendly staff, though. We got a small Bressi Ranch pizza (pulled pork), garden salad, tots, and a pint. Pizza was delicious and unique, salad and tots were nothing special, and beer of course was great. I'd pay more for a better salad or loaded tots, or just skip altogether. Not worth it for those two.
