Carlsbad Pizza by the Slice

I ordered the lunch special for$12.50 . They have it from 11-3. It's a 6-inch pizza , side salad, and a drink. Everything was delicious, and the service was great. Highly recommend.

Wow that pizza place has been here for years . Under new management and owners, what a great spot for family and friends. Both the staff and manager care about what they are doing. Come check them out if you haven't been in a while well worth the visit.

Tom my staff to lunch here, it is so nice since the remodel. Great atmosphere, great good. Good gluten free options too.

Looking for a spot after my sons baseball game and found this on the map. Gave it a shot and it was perfect. Pizza had that crispy bottom and was delicious packed with toppings. Our server (Tay?) was so kind, polite and had the customer service on awesome status. Couldn’t have enjoyed a better time with good food, great service and a good atmosphere. Arcades lined up for kids to play, beers on tap for adults and TVs with the padre games and sports on throughout. Glad we found this spot, now we know where to go when we have games up here in the area!!

Used to come here when l lived in Carlsbad as a kid 20 plus years ago. Was in town visiting family and friends and wanted to swing in for my old school usual chicken bbq with bacon and pineapple pizza. Still the same, except the one thing l loved most that made their pizza different then others. They used to season the whole bottom of the pie before baking it but it's still really good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ That Pizza Place is hands down my go-to spot for pizza. Best pizzas around—crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The cheese crusts are on point every single time and take the whole experience to another level. There are many other pizza parlors closer to me but I’ll pass right by them without a second thought to come here. Totally worth the extra drive for quality like this. If you’re craving great pizza, this is the place to go! And the Ranch sauce is fabulous!

We recently rediscovered that pizza place and have now been back twice in the same week! The pizza is very good! I love the upper pepperoni and that the crust is cooked perfectly. The pizza we have a Vista has been so tasteless. This was definitely worth the drive.

The food was exceptional the pizza had the perfect amount of dough cheese along with the jalapeño, pepperoni and sausage. The crispy and amount of sauce on the wings definitely worth it!!! The service and Atmosphere were amazing!!!

That Pizza Place was amazing when we visited. We were able to get seated very quickly and order right away. We ordered garlic cheese bread (very well prepared), wings, and pizza. The wings were very, very good and perfectly prepared. We got garlic parm wings along with the mild buffalo. Our children are particular about wings and they both very much enjoyed them as well which speaks volumes about them. The pizza we ordered was pepperoni and bacon, which also was perfectly prepared. It had the perfect amount of cheese along with pepperoni and bacon, so we definitely recommend trying the pizza when you go! We ordered a large which was too much with the other food for the 4 of us so the portions are very favorable as well. The games themselves in the restaurant were well kept also and they all worked which was nice since we had to wait for food. It helped kill time and then kids enjoyed them!

I’m not a big pizza person but my boyfriend loves pizza and was a local. We live in Las Vegas but had to eat here while we are out here. The pizza was actually really good, but personally I loved the wings! They were perfectly flavored and super juicy. The atmosphere was great too. The owners were out and about chatting it up with everyone. Made us feel like we’ve all known each other for forever. I would for sure recommend!

Fantastic reboot of a fantastic pizza place. Wonderful staff and beer offering. Great wings and cheesy garlic bread. If you come in the evening, the owners make a habit of stopping by each table to ask if everyone is good. The pizookie was amazing.

The new owners are doing a phenomenal job and I’m ecstatic to see this local gem staying open. Still the same amazing pizza and welcoming atmosphere with a slightly more modern interior. They kept some key touches, which really warmed my heart. I love that my family and friends can keep making the same fond memories here that I did 30+ years ago. Try the new loaded fries, they’re delish!

One of our favorite pizza places. Tried it for first time a month ago and have been back twice more. The pizza is outstanding, crust, toppings, sauce all top notch and it was cooked perfect (we asked for “crispy”). The wings are crazy delicious. Looking forward to trying the Italian sub, I have heard it is amazing! Going back again tonight, we love it!

Ordered GrubHub delivery, the small order of cheese sticks was a good price and well worth it, the calzone was enjoyable and I liked being able to choose my 5 favorite ingredients, good value for the price and will repeat, this is now a new favorite pizza place and I look forward to visiting in person sometime.

Customers for over 45 years! New owners are nice & staff too! This night kitchen got backed up with 2 hair pizza wait. We got 3 pizza, salad etc. All Pizzas were wrongly made and they sent out the wrong salad 🥗 Bummer Papa Dan Bernstein

Kinda bummed out. Ordered this via their Toast app on a Friday night after nobody picked up the phone when I was trying to order a carry out. I ordered 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 sausage large pizza. 30 bucks! Paid via app. Came and picked up pizza. They combined the sausage and pepperoni on the same side and the other half cheese. That’s super strange to me 🤷like who does that? 30 bucks for this small large pizza.

I firmly believe in giving the mom & pop places business before chain establishments but today is the last time I will go to this place. I ordered a meatball sub with salt and vinegar chips, (this is the side that comes with the sandwich) and I waited 35 minutes to be served. When I saw the sandwich I knew it had to be cold because the way the cheese looked. I tried it and yes it was cold. The girl was very apologetic and very nice and offered to make a new sandwich but I wasn’t about to wait another 35 minutes. We agreed to try heating it up in the oven and there went another 10 minutes. When she brought it back out it was hot and pretty good but I have had a better meatball sandwich at Subways. They give you a choice of 3 chips, bbq, salted or vinegar and salt, I had the salted before and oh wow it was like they dumped a whole container of salt on them. I don’t like bbq so I tried the vinegar and salt, wow! I couldn’t eat them, it was like they dumped 2 containers of salt on them, I tried wiping them with napkins but still couldn’t eat them! I tried a little piece of my friends bbq chips and they were just as bad. Why do they have to salt everything so much, I’ve never experienced anything like it. Maybe it’s for the ones that are drinking beer in hoping that customers will order more beer because their so thirsty? Don’t know but I will stick with Spiritos for now on.

Well it is A pizza place, just not That Pizza Place! I was very disappointed in the pizza, atmosphere and service. There are very few things that are the same, the sausage tasted close but there was much less of it on the pizza, the sauce tastes similar but everything else is completely different. The crust is so disappointing. It used to be airy and crispy, you would get these big yeast bubbles at the end of your pizza. Now it's flat and soggy. You have to roll the slice into taco shape for it to hold up. No salad bar! This is a huge deal breaker for me. The salad bar was pretty famous and one of the main attractions. They painted the walls white and put a bunch of TVs up but you cannot hear the game on any of them. I sat outside with my son and it was really nice for a little while. There was a speaker outside so we could hear the baseball game, You just had to watch it on a TV 50 yards away, but then they rolled open the door and we couldn't hear anything anymore. There were multiple service issues. Napkins are a rare commodity, there just are not enough dispensers to go around so if you want one you have to ask someone at another table for theirs. There was an extremely pompous gentleman who was walking around disturbing people's meal telling them that he was one of the owners and that he hoped they could "taste the difference". This man was rude and bumped me twice while trying to promote his business without an apology or acknowledgment. Sir we can all taste and see the difference and it definitely is not for the better! We won't be going back. RIP That Pizza Place, you are missed.

Saw a picture with a sign that says they have a happy hour…nothing on their menu about it and when I called on a Tuesday at 5pm there was no answer and a weird cell phone message that just hung up on me.

Haven’t been since the pandemic and I know it’s under new ownership but boy did this place sell its soul. Why does every place have to look like an industrial brewery? The atmosphere is just not what it used to be. The games are no longer coin machines, which is so ridiculous, why use more single use plastics?! There are not even enough games to justify getting a card to play games. The old atmosphere was unique, fun, and had character. Now it’s VERY expensive and I couldn’t wait to get out because I hated the new look. It felt stale and lacked any resemblance of its former self. Won’t be going back. Honestly really sad. Also could’ve went without the awful live music that definitely didn’t fit the vibe.
