Great food, awesome selection of beer on draft and lots of room for big groups. Has a two story covered patio with some beer on tap on second level too.

Great food! Vegan dough - garlic spinach pizza with no cheese!! Beer buddies, wings, and a cheesy pizza for my buddies. The Hon Shot 1st double IPA is AMAZING!!!!

Every time my family and I hit Carlsbad Village, we make sure to stop by Pizza Port. They have a great selection of beer and delicious pizza. If you are ever in the area and in the mood for pizza there is no other place you should be than here. Even if you aren’t in the area, you can pretty much find there beer at most liquor stores in Southern California. I highly suggest the California Honey or the Swami’s IPA. Cheers! 🍻

Great food, great beer, great service!

Great little spot. They have a good pizza menu with wings and the usual stuff. But, they also have the bar that sells the beers they brew there, oh the beautiful beers that they brew there, and some other nice craft beers. I had a delicious Coffee Porter, First In it was called, and we ordered the large San Francisco Pizza. Both the dish and the bevvie were delicious, this place definitely deserves a quick visit if you're in the neighborhood.

You’re not gunna find pizza any better. Great staff and great atmosphere. We drive 45 min from Bonita to go to this location. Well worth it.

Great lunch specials, I had the Mac and cheese bites with the Lahaina pizza. Everything was delicious! The craft beers are great too!

So many hands, so little garlic buddies. Great pizza & brew. It’s a long time family favorite

Always our favorite. Pizza and atmosphere is what you are looking for in a local pizza joint. Beer is top notch. Service is great considering how busy they are on the weekends. Go, eat, enjoy!

No domestic beers here but their light brews are excellent. I had the worm, light and crisp. Pizza was served piping hot and delicious.

Stopped in with the family, all seven of us, and we were very happy with our choice. Food was excellent and the beer was great! One of the highlights of our trip!

Great pizza and great beer. They even have gluten free options on both. Fun to go have a beer. They even have a nice patio!

Visited in April 2015. After visiting Stone and Ballast Point in San Diego, I was really pleased to stay here for a while. Everything was easy: amazing beers and tasty pizzas. The place wasn’t overly crowded on a Saturday afternoon. The only downside was the number of children. When enjoying great beer, I don’t want to hear kids screaming next to me. I appreciate family-friendly breweries, I do, but it shouldn’t feel like a kindergarten. Perhaps I’m a bit narrow-minded. Yes, I am.

Delicious pizza and a great vibe. Our whole family had fun. We recommend the beer buddies.

I've been to this location and Ocean Beach a bunch. It is probably my favorite pizza spot I'm San Diego overall between the beer and pizza. The pizza always tastes fresh and consistent between visits over the years. The crust is fluffy which might not be for everyone and the tomato sauce has a nice tang. Additionally you can't go wrong with the garlic buddies.

This is my FAVORITE Pizza Port location. By far had the best staff and atmosphere. One of my favorite workers is Eric; I wish I got his full name. He knew everything about the beer and food menu. If you’re ever visiting downtown Carlsbad, make this one of your stops.

I've been here many times. Pizza Port is a SoCal institution, and for good reason. The beer is great. The pizza is great. I'm no longer a local, but I make a point to come here every chance I get, and I never regret it.

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!

45 min wait, got to talk to 2 other travelers from AZ. Heard there story while at a picnic table that we shared. Beer was awesome, pizza was worth the wait! Well done! Great experience :) plus they have gluten free!

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

I visited Pizza Port in Carlsbad this past weekend in order to take notes on the environment, transportation to, and products of this brewery/restaurant combo for a college class I am taking. The first thing I noticed about Pizza Port was the energetic, young, and friendly feeling of the place. There were families with young children, multiple dogs, a lot of cyclists who were there for a beer after a ride, and even a little league baseball team celebrating with pizza after a win. I definitely believe that Pizza Port clearly is a gathering place for the community. This Pizza Port location is in the heart of Carlsbad Village; a very walkable, pedestrian friendly town. As mentioned above, there were many cyclists as well because Carlsbad coast has very popular riding trails/streets for cyclists. The last thing I want to highlight is the large range of products that Pizza Port offers. Of course pizza being part of the main attraction, the made-in-house brews are also what attracts so many new and constantly returning customers. Not only do they have their own beers on tap, but they also offer a lot of guest beers. I found out from a bartender that they offered a limited amount of Pliny the Younger on Valentines Day as they are friends with Russian River’s owners and got an early batch. Very cool to see the camaraderie between brewers still.

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.

Want to hang out with friends over a cold brew? This is the place to go! Chill, spacious, no baby sitter no problem! You can bring the kids and it's no problem! I really like buffalo wings and the wings here are baked. Not as crispy as I'm used to but still delicious! Their pizza is amazing! They have such a large selection of specialty pizzas there is something for everyone! The dough for the pizza is soooo good. I've been on keto for over a year but when my son left his crust from his pizza I decided to take a bite of one to try it. I ended up eating all of it because it was soooo good! Price isn't bad either. So if you're meeting friends to relax and catch up I highly recommend this place!

Great pizza in Carlsbad- awesome variety of pizza and brews! Awesome location too!

If you like good pizza and a good beer, and large spacious family friendly eating areas, then you will absolutely love the Pizza Port Carlsbad location. There are many many tables, check the second floor from the back. There is also a huge patio area in the back that is outdoors. The pizza is phenomenal, try the gluten free option, it is actually incredible. I got the Carlsbad, and the Bressi Ranch gluten free option, x12 wings, garlic bread, a regular large pepperoni, veggies with hummus and X2 pitchers of a delicious Blood Orange kombucha. 10/10 will go again, and recommend

My go to pizza spot whenever I visit Carlsbad. The place itself is really big and they have plenty of seating here. They have a wide selection of great beers and the pizza is phenomenal. I recommend going here before the rush in the evening because it gets super packed.

Brews and Pizza the list could go on. Large venue with a ton of beer options. On vacation with the family, we wanted something we could not get back home. We found pizza port. We loved the beer selection, and pizza selection. Ultimate meat and the Carlsbad were awesome. Carlsbad = feta, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and chicken all on a fluffy crust pizza.

I will write more later but all I have to say is that the people here are amazing, kind and collected despite the never-ending customer lines. Shoutout to Dinai (hope spelling is close) - I got pushed out of line because of a customer, and she not only took care of me but she went out of her way - even though I wasn't upset - to make it a good customer experience. I was also impressed with those making the pizzas and food - No attitude just pure hard work ... met the Bartender Kenny going out the door and he also was just super gracious- can't wait to come back!

Great food for Pizza, and awesome selection of in house beer. Inside during the summer is hot, and lines to get food and beer can be long (15 min). For that reason I almost put 4 stars, but if you know what getting into, then all good. Good mix of local crowd and tourists.

Awesome food and awesome service. The staff was super friendly and we enjoyed learning how they name there beers. This was surprisingly one of our cheapest meals since entering California and was a suggestion from a local. There are some arcade games inside the restaurant for the kids to play and the claw game was actually really easy to win. I definitely recommend eating here if you are passing through Carlsbad. Pictured is the BBQ Chicken pizza.

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

Pizza Port Carlsbad never disappoints. The food was excellent with fresh ingredients and consistently great flavor. Service was friendly and efficient even during a busy time, and the staff kept things moving without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed and family friendly, making it an easy place to enjoy a meal. Solid beer selection and quality pizza every time. Always a go to spot in Carlsbad.

A little busy but plenty of great beers on tap and sports on the TVs. Pizza is great.

My favorite pizza place. Always great people watching, fabfood and drinks. Friendly staff.

Marcus Lopez

Had a 10 inch pepperoni & jalapeño pizza for only $13 plus reasonably price beers for Southern California $7. Wife and I had a couple California honey blonde Ale beers each, Very easy to drink, hint of fruit and honey. Pizza crust was soft and chewy pepperonis were fresh and delicious.

Joey Russano

That guy Baylen? Great guy. Poured me up some great beer suggestions and made my pizza amazing. Love to see this guy when I come in I always know I’m gonna get good food and good service.

Pizza Port Carlsbad delivers an unforgettable experience beyond just great food. This spot has an infectious, classic California beach vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome. The energy is buzzing—it's a perfect place for family, friends, and anyone craving a fun, casual meal. The pizza is the absolute star here. The crust is always perfectly crisp, and the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. Try the Pesto Chicken! Their appetizers and soft drinks are also excellent accompaniments. The service is fast and friendly, and there’s ample seating. It’s an easy, reliable choice for a delicious, satisfying meal in a uniquely relaxed environment.

Thomas Dews

Wonderful location! Very family and pet friendly, close to great shops downtown. This should be really obvious but based on some other comments that weren’t aware it should be noted that I t’s a very busy location due to their iconic status, take that into account on what lines/wait times can be during peak or tourist times. They cater to allergens as well and we’ve never had an adverse reaction.

Kevin Cray

Pizza Port had a great atmosphere—lively, welcoming, and clearly a popular spot with plenty of people coming in and out. The place stays busy, which is always a good sign, but it does mean you need to grab a table before you order or you might end up stuck without a spot for you and your family. They’ve got a bar with a solid range of drink options, and the addition of arcade games gives it a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it more than just your average pizza joint. The pizza itself was honestly really good—full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and definitely something I’d come back for. What really made the experience even better was the music selection; they had some Mexican music playing on the jukebox which gave the place a warm, familiar feel and made us feel right at home. Between the great food, fun atmosphere, and friendly vibe, I’d 100% visit Pizza Port again.

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.

Peter Macias

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.

In the Village area, great location. The place is huge ... main floor, upstairs, and large patio area. Didn't order pizza, but rather the Port Salad. I couldn't finish it. Went with a group of 8 adults and 6 children...easily found a double picnic table for the group. The menu is extensive. Order at the window and then self pick up. Had a great time. Would high recommend.

Jim Lincoln

The vibe here was not what I was expecting, and that is not a complaint. I was just expecting like a more formal type brewery, but this is more in line with an old school pizza place, which I dig. They have custom pizzas, but they also have pizza by the slice for lunch time. Did I mention the beers? Because they are delicious as well. This place fits perfectly for the beach atmosphere.

Pretty great pizza with a great selection-there’s something fro everyone on their menu! We got several pizzas and I think I liked the meat one the most. The chicken wasn’t the best quality, otherwise the Carlsbad would have been the best. Beer line is kind of long at times but they have lots of options! The upstairs patio is perfect for a beautiful night!

Good beer 🍺, good wings & Pizza. Enough said. The only issue I had was that parking was tough to find.

I found the elder Piney! First time ever having it. The wait for pizza was soo long but the beers were delicious with the large selection and also good pizza. They also have a small bottle shop

Our friends love coming here when they visit family and friends, so we decided to stop by and give them a try. We walked in around 4 pm and ordered appetizers and a pepperoni and sausage 8 slice pizza. I also walked over to the bar and got a flight of beer! The pizza was pretty good. The crust has a nice chew, and the meat and cheese were also tasty. The chicken wings and fried Mac and cheese was prepared week and there was nothing left. Would we come back again? You bet! Give them a try and bring some friends. They even have some video games for the kids.

This location is cool. Pizza look good I bite into and taste like more dough. Also they can clean better. I seen some areas in plan view that can use some more cleaning

Good pizza, but very busy & noisy. Probably die to street fair that day, just a block away!

Happened to drop in for a pizza and some brews with friends. They have a good selection of beers. I think you'll find a beer you'd like. The pizza was good too! The venue is more family orientated and had lots of kids and was pretty loud which I don't mind at all ... good vibe; but keep that in mind if you want something quieter and with a more adult crowd. They have a lot of space inside and video games to one size, there's a lot of different areas for seating - good place to come with kids/family. Bar staff were really good.

Great pizza and beer, BUT... when I asked to substitute an item and they didn't tell me ahead of time, they charged me $2.50 to swap out an item?? Really!?!? Prices are already high enough, pretty ridiculous.... That should have been considered an even swap!

Excellent food superb beer selection, this business is very busy, a little messy. I would recommend and would return.

Ordered one medium Imperial Beach pizza (ricotta base, chicken, mozzarella, basil, roasted poblano, garlic, parmesan, heart of palm, and spicy honey drizzle) and waited over an hour for it. I was told it would take that long, so it is what it is. Just used that time to sample some of the many beers they brew. Once the pizza was on my table and the first bite was in my mouth, I realized it was worth the wait. Soooo good!

Such a busy place! Seemed like a great place for families -- if your fam can handle waiting & chaotic crowds. Crowd/noise certainly adds to the exciting atmosphere of a place -- but here, it also means bumper-to-bumper, snaking lines to order beer/pizza... ...and people are NOT joking when they say you gotta wait 1.5hrs for your pizza to be ready. Yes, the pizza is good -- the sauce & crust is delicious & memorable -- I personally would not come here on a busy weekend night just to get that pizza again.

Fun pizza spot with a great beer selection. A little tricky to score a table but good times.

The people are great, and they work really hard. The pizza is well conceived, but it's an artifact of their method that the crust ends up a little doughy. I tried the signature crust and a traditional thin crust, and the signature was very bready and not at all crisp, while the thin crust was over-sauced and slightly under-cooked. But they use a conveyor oven, so there's very little craft to it. But the ingredients are high quality. The main room is utterly chaotic on a busy Friday night, but it's a big place, and there are plenty of quiet corners to chill.

Fun spot to come hang out. Handles big groups well. Pizza is good and good beer selection. Also serves wine. We happen to go on a hot day so it was very hot inside. Then we found the outside patio lol. Will definitely visit again.

Good pizza, tap beer; red ale 4.9% ok brew! Priced fairly!

Food is made to order,if it's busy expect a wait. They have a good selection of beer and food. Most of it is good. The wings were a nice size but were chewy. I prefer crispy wings.

Food is pizza. (Who doesn't like pizza?) Beer is the main focus, here. When crowded, the place is as noisy at GEHA Stadium. (Look it up.) Adding alcohol just makes it more noisy. (Drunks are deaf.) Eventually, you have to scream to have a conversation across the table. Saw a couple last week, using sign language to communicate. Makes more sense than screaming, tbh.

Wing report! I like my wings naked, on the small side and a hair above Buffalo-spicy. If they offer flats-only, that’s a big plus. I appreciate being asked about ranch/blue cheese. I enjoy my wings best in a friendly sports bar with as many TVs as they can fit. I usually grab a spot at the bar. With that being said, I rate this establishment as following (out of 10): Wings: 9 Freshness: 10 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 It’s a loud place with tons of kids and an arcade, so it naturally gets a little obnoxious at times, but it’s all good. Just know what to expect. Looks like a great place to bring your kids and watch sports. Service is „pick up at the counter“ even if you sit at the bar. Excellent beer menu. Wings tasted as fresh as it gets.

As you can see their pies need more cheese, but wheat dough & a side of ranch dressing are free.

Great pizza spot right near the 5 and close to the beach. Laid back atmosphere and nice patio. Great slice and drink combos. Fun, original, pizzas of the month and awesome beer and seltzer selections.

Roberto “Nightcrawler” Salazar

My family on have been to a few Pizza Ports from the central coast in Morro Bay to Carlsbad. It's a good place to eat with the kids as you travel the Pacific Coast. When we arrived on a Thursday evening it was extremely busy, we had to wait for a table to clear. We waited about 40 minutes for our pizzas to be ready. They have a huge selection of om tap beers some brewed there at the location including beers to go. They also have a small arcade for the kids to play while you wait for your pizza. Overall I enjoyed the memory however it did take a long time to get our order and it was very loud and chaotic in there in comparison to Morro Bay which is a much smaller coastal city. I even took a cool souvenir shirt. Despite the chaos I would do it again idk if my gf would.

Stan Langston Jr.

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.

Richard Chacon

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.

Good pizza. They changed something in the pizza recipe and taste different from before. Cool place to chill out and drink and eat. Can get crowded at times.

Wear earplugs. I've had less auditory damage at a rave. Pizza good, but it's almost like they are trying to drive you away.

Pizza Port is conveniently located near the theater so we always grab dinner here before or after the movies. I find the pizzas salty but they tasted great/matched well when you order beers. Their garlic breads are great too. Pasta, not so much. Service is fast too.

Great pizza in a loud and busy space. Good for kids and has gluten free options. Wings were really good as well. Had some games for the kids while the order was prepared. Waited almost an hour for the pizza to be ready and is the only reason for lack of additional stars. Great beer selection.

Bathrooms didn’t have toilet paper and service uh…. There were flies inside. Bar place was not much attention. Saladas were expensive almost 15$ and the grill stove was off. Like the customers though not the service. After going on to the cashier, didn’t feel welcomed as I did not get any greeting from any of the ladies standing there or a have a nice day. Customer service should always be there as you deal with allot of people who come in and out.

So inconsistent. When we eat there they have been great. We had our meal delivered when we were staying at a hotel by the flower fields and after spending almost $80 for two pizzas and a Cesar salad with chicken, I can say we may not be going back. The DoorDash reviews are spot on, cold food (mind you we were 3 miles away, just chose an easy option of delivery bc it’s easiest with kids) overpriced for cold, disgusting chicken on our salad and there truly is no reason to request plates, utensils and sauces or Parmesan bc it’s not coming with the order. On top of taking almost an hour and a half we have realized the fast few times that the service just isn’t what it used to be unless your drinking and not paying attention to how long it takes. Not worth the drive anymore at least for this location!

This was recommended to my family by a local. I didn't expect it to be so loud. This is your average pizza joint where you can get a lunch special of a slice, salad and drink for about 8$. Pizza is average in my opinion. Good place to get a quick bite to eat. Cons- most of the tables are long picnic table types which wasn't very dress friendly. Went here mostly because my 5yo wanted some pizza and we had to get in a quick bite before exploring. I wouldn't recommend this pizza joint unless you love loud music and want a good lunch deal.

Very lively and family friendly place for pizza, salads, beer, and wine. There are lots of kids running around so if you want a little quieter, sit outside or upstairs. Amazing beer selection. But, pizza is very average and just lacks flavor. There were 12 of us so I got to sample a few different pizzas and all were generally bland. Go for the beer and liveliness but definitely not the pizza.

Beware: Pizza Port was recently ordered closed on 10/17/25 for a major vermin infestation and out of compliance 'Warewashing Facilities' and 'Equipment and Utensil Storage.' All of their restaurants are filthy and need their carpeting replaced. Good pizza, but it now contains MUCH less cheese than before. Compare my picture here to your pizza for proof. Overpriced draft beer. Charging $8 or more for a draft IPA which retails for $2.50 a can (or less) doesn't make sense.

Was excited to place an order for Margherita pizza before the kitchen closed since my friends all Called and were told the kitchen was closed. However, that excitement quickly fell to crap when I got home to see that my Margherita pizza had no basil on it. Basil makes the pizza Margherita. I regret my tip. Is it so hard to just make one of the most basic pieces the right way so people can enjoy exactly what they ordered?

Pizza Port had such a yummy vegan option, and kind staff. Definitely worth checking out! Update: My intial review still stands true, but I did lower my review for the poor delivery. When we ate at the restaurant this morning, it took like 10 mins for the pizza to actually cool down to an edible point. With that being said, we place a delivery to our hotel tonight - With driving it's only takes about 4 mins. When our food arrived the pizza was cold and the tatertots were just tossed in a medium sized pizza box. I understand if containers for the tots had run out considering it's the weekend, but there are much smaller pizza boxes that could have been utilized. Though I think I'm more disappointed at the cold pizza. Because of how close the hotel is, the pizza had no reason to be cold.

Everything was okay . I had high hopes and was sadly disappointed with the food. I think this place is more for the alcohol then the pizza. If you're here only for the vibes and alcohol then yes probably a 5 star place for environment. However, we aren't drinkers and wanted to try this place for the reviews. The pizza bread is good but the toppings were scarce (for $3 a topping). I couldn't taste the toppings at all. Just tasted like cheese. The ranch isnt made in house. Straight up hidden valley ranch, which if its your thing, you're good. I think its gross. ... in summary. It was fine. But I probably wouldn't come again 😕.

It's basically a cafeteria style pizza place. Good beers on tap. Our first visit was about a month ago and pizza was decent. Our second visit over the Columbus day weekend was chaos and pizza wait times were over an hour. We opted for some apps and they were just meh. When you order fried Mac n Cheese bites at most places, you know you won't be dazzled and it's likely a frozen product. What you don't expect is the bites to be made with blue box 😆 just had to take a picture to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks. We made do with dipping veggies and these bites. Pizza Port is clearly Carlsbad's answer to feeding lots of visiting families with small children in the area. It's just ok.

Great beer but pizza is average. There's nothing special about the pizza and the ranch tastes like the Heinz kind. The waits are very long. The staff is friendly and helpful, but I just don't under…

Fun place to go with friends and family, however this is by no means top 10 pizza in Carlsbad, let alone #1 lol. I call this “Ranch Pizza”, as in it needs ranch dressing to make it descent. Btw only …

Was excited to see they were open for Xmas and went out of my way to come down… turns out, they don’t bother maintaining their hours here on Google and left me high and dry on Xmas. How hard is it to put your hours on Google? They send emails asking if you’re open… they just ignore those?

They need to post on their website that the kitchen closes at 9pm, we showed up at 8:50 and they already had a posted sign that they closed. No one really cared and to take our order even if it wasn’t 9. Kinda sucks because I’ve been here several times and never had this issue. Next time put it on your website that way I don’t waste an hour to come here.

I normally love Pizza Port from the pizza wings and beer. The service is usually on point. Decided to try Joe Rogans recommendation of Anchovies and pineapple…really regret it. Was nauseous all night and have been in the restroom last 15 hours in and out. I’m not sure if the anchovies were spoiled. Maybe just take it off the menu so no one else gets sick.

Something has changed. Pizza is not the same great pizza I remember and the bottom not fully cooked in my opinion. I have enjoyed this place many times before and I honestly have had better frozen pizza than this. Maybe different cook but definitely not the pizza I’ve recommended.

This is absolutely my least favorite pizza Port location. Staff is rude (pizza line, not beer line. The beer dude was awesome) and are unclear with instructions. I clarified with the pizza person purchase that my purchase included beer and she confirmed it did. I was then told at the beer line that it did not and it only gave me a discount. When I picked up pizza, there is no clear indicator of where to pick it up, and when we asked someone where to get it she literally rolled her eyes at me. Will not come back. Better locations are nearby enough.

Just be honest about wait times. You Say a pizza will be ready in 20-30 minutes and 2 HOURS LATER YOU'RE STILL waiting. NOT COOL! Let consumers make an honest and informed choice!

Took our grandkids and family here. Good food and good beer usually! But we arrived and ordered around 5:30-hardly anyone here!! Received our beers and salad and beers immediately but alas!!! W…

Mara told me that it’s my problem that they didn’t refund me the correct amount when we couldn’t wait an hour and 20 min for food when I called back. She also was VERY rude and hung up on me when I asked her to verify my phone number and didn’t take my name! If this was my business I would’ve separated her! This is not someone that I would want representing my business!!!!

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately the service at the bar ruined it. I stood waiting for a drink while the bartender made eye contact several times and continued to ignore me — even while helping others who arrived after me. No greeting, no acknowledgment, not even a “be with you in a minute.” After 10+ minutes of standing there, I left without ordering. I get that bars can get busy, but basic courtesy and fair service go a long way. Disappointed.

Most of the time, I don’t leave One Star Reviews. However just so that other customers are aware, I am writing the review. The Google hours of operation are not correct. The hours on google show open till 10 pm, which they are, however the kitchen and oven is closed at 9 pm and they don’t take orders after 9 pm. So the hours are misleading. I read another review about this confusion of hours, so I called the pizza place to confirm. The person who answered the phone confirmed that place is opened till 10 pm , however did not bother to mention that they stop taking orders at 9 pm. I called closed to 9 pm. So when reached at the place at 9 , the front person said the kitchen and oven is closed. When mentioned that why the person on the phone didn’t mention that, the response was “ they must be new here and don’t know that we don’t take orders after 9”. I would recommend either update the google hours or train your staff properly. Wasted our time as we could have found another place to eat as most of the places around here close at 9 pm.

We LOVE Pizza Port. Regularly we go to the one in Solana Beach and love it. Love their pizza and beer. We decided to go to the Carlsbad location and we were so sad and disappointed that my son had his $80 Yankees hoodie on and we went there to watch the World Series (Yankees Dodgers game 1) and his hoodie got ruined. They had stained their wood arm rails etc and my son leaned up and it dyed his hoodie brown in SEVERAL areas, all over the hood, arms and back areas. There were no wet paint signs or anything. They offered to give us a gift card and seemed interested and apologetic. It just sucks 😭 we still love their food and beer but very disappointed in the negligence.

Terrible service! Burnt, dry pizza & overpriced!!

This is the Cesar salad I waited over an hour for a paid $10. The pizza took another 45 minutes. Absolutely horrific service. Don’t come here on the weekend. It’s a cluster you know what.
