Uppercrust Pizza

Upper Crust is amazing pizza. Our whole department gets the lunch specials every week. We always get pepperoni pizza slices and the pasta salad or half and half salad. It’s so delicious. Highly recommend. We normally do take out but have also started going in weekly.

I wish there were more stars to give. This is one of my favorite places to eat. Their hot turkey sandwiches are phenomenal. If you get it with their ranch sauce for dipping you will love it too. Their salads are also outstanding (I know, who goes to a pizza place for salad but it’s that good). I wish they would open more locations closer to me since I moved to San Diego. It’s hard to get up to Oceanside regularly but I would love it if I could.

Don’t come here. I don’t want to wait in line for the best pizza and sandwiches in Oceanside😊✝️🥰💕 Just kidding! We love this place and we are so happy to share it with our friends and family. But seriously. Order fast so we don’t have to wait long in line 😉

The special, substitute black olives instead of bell pepper, is the best pizza I've ever tasted but you have to eat it there immediately, don't you dare let that masterpiece steam in the box on the drive home. They cover it in thinly sliced mushrooms, I mean cover, the best cheese and perfectly cooked tomatoes. It's so flavorful yet as rich as it is, somehow it's not too rich or greasy. Every bite, slice after slice, is savory all the way up until you're so full you don't even need another bite.

Love the pasta here. I'm not a huge fan of their pizza but their pasta is excellent. I usually have their manicotti, which comes with a full serving of their garlic bread, which is also good. Their side salad is also very fresh and delicious.

we gave the team our gender reveal notes and they put a surprise “B” on our pizza for us and even decorated the inside of the box, only thing is we should have got 2 bc it was sooo good! Definitely best pizza in Oceanside and very sweet staff!

Always amazing...the salads are super good and the pizza is delicious! There is no other place I go for a fresh salad.

Been coming to Upper Crust since High School in the late 80's (Vista Location & Class of 89) Today I decided to visit the O'side location & ordered a mini thin crust Hawaiian....Yummm, took me back to the Good ol 80's Fer Sure! Ya'll should Totally try it, like Wow! ✌️🍕

Food is tasty. I love that they focus on the pizza & related foods instead of trying to do everything. Staff is friendly. Restaurant space is ample & clean. Small game room in the back.

Excellent pizza at this north county local favorite. They also have beer and wine. Kids have their choice of a few arcade options in the back. The recent remodel makes the place look modern and hip but the spirit of the restaurant is the same as always.

I love this place. It’s definitely our neighborhood spot. Today the people that made the pizza even came out and met my son and talk to him. And he loves it! Thanks again for being awesome

This place is a classic Oceanside staple of local culture has been in business for as long as I can remember and been going there since forever. The food is always great and the service is too!!!! Great Calzone Great Pizza Great Salads Great meatball sandwich Great pasta They just bring hits one after the other and they all fly out of the ballpark. Come in hungry and leave re- inspired to conquer the world ahead. Such a satisfying experience Upper Crust is.

<ctrl97> "I recently had a party here and was so impressed! The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, even though the place was packed. They handled everything with a smile and made sure we had a fantastic time. These people were truly great! I loved their draft beer selection, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend!"

Ordered the combination pizza which includes little pineapple nibbles which for me is heaven! Crust is excellent- I have to eat every last bit. They must make it fresh just like I did working in my grandfather’s pizza shop chain. Also got a gluten-free cauliflower crust with pepperoni- cooked to perfection and crispy. Kitchen seems like well organized chaos with 9-10 employees pumping out pies which results in good order-ready time estimates. Plus 2 Cannoli desserts- killer good with crispy outer and whipped cream inner and a bit of chocolate sauce. Delish.

Delicious, hearty, pizza. Something about the crust is cooked just right. Salads are amazing and the meatball sandwich, Yum! I wish I lived closer. When I'm in the area, I stop by every time.

Upper Crust hit every mark. We got a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza, 12 wings, and the 50/50 salad — all of it was 🔥. But let me tell you… the ranch stole the show. Perfect consistency — thick, smooth, and full of flavor. You can tell it’s house-made and not the watered-down stuff most places serve. The wings dipped in that ranch? Next level. The pizza had a crispy crust with great flavor, and the salad was fresh and balanced. Service was chill and attentive, and the place had a clean, relaxed vibe. Definitely a new go-to spot. Highly recommend!

We started getting our pizzas here just before the pandemic hit. Since then, it's been our go-to place for pizza. Their pizzas are consistently good every time & reasonably priced. It looks like they have a hard working & a polite crew. I would recommend this place for take-out to anyone.

BEST DAMN meatball sub in all of Oceanside and probably of San Diego. It's packed with meat, sauce is bold, it's perfectly cheesy and the bread is so soft. It's the perfect spot for a work event, great for the family and; it's overall a wonderful place to grab and chill. Everyone is in a happy spirit every time I've gone and the prices are fair. I can't brag about the pizza personally but it's like pizza port. If that's your time you'll enjoy it. I highly recommend going in for the Wednesday special BAKED ZITI!! Get a side of meatballs smash them in there and go beast mode. If only there was football on to justify hunger lol. Basketball season is around the corner so I should be okay lol. If you love your carbs like I do.. the garlic bread with extra garlic (drooling) trust me you'll eat it and; it will be gone before you know it was even there and bruschetta is solid too. If you are trying to be lite. The salads aren't special just my opinion but my "situationship" swears by the cranberry walnut feta salad. I might go ham cobb salad (maybe somebody reads this wink wink) ..but then again who goes to a pizza/Italian spot for a salad? It's carbs and meatballs for me anyways. I love when small businesses like this put quality over quantity, they truly care about their customers and the the product they put out. Love that! Definitely a great spot for grabbing to binge watch something on Netflix or Disney+ I know I've done it enough. Also a great spot for a casual date. I don't know if I mentioned the lasagna but that's delicious too.

There is no shortage of places to get pizza in Oceanside, California. But the students of my class for teens with special-needs wanted to go to Upper Crust Pizza on Oceanside Blvd. I was pleasantly pleased! Firstly, they are one of the few local businesses that work with our school’s program to provide workability training for teens with disabilities. That speaks volumes to me. This means that they genuinely care about their community and are giving back in small “unseen” ways; by providing work/life skills to the next generation of our society. Upper Crust Pizza is centrally located at Oceanside Blvd and right at the crossroads of College Blvd in a shopping plaza that has a lot going on! But this location makes it accessible via car, bus and even local public train. The indoor seating is very spread-out because this establishment is pretty spacious. They’ve got some really super Lunch Special Deals that bring in the crowds in the afternoon and although their were empty tables, there was a quick turnaround and customers were coming in and out constantly. I also noticed a lot of public service workers (police & firemen) and this tells me they are a local favorite. You order up at front, then seat yourself with an ID Number and await your order. The wait time wasn’t half bad considering the size of our class and although there were some mix-ups with the order numbers, our food came within reason. I ordered the cranberry-walnut salad and it was very sizeable! Actually loved the flavors & portion a lot!! I was stuffed at the end!! After watching my students pizza & pasta plates, I soon realized why they loved this place. Their bathrooms were clean and had some automated options available and the only reason why I couldn’t give the last star is because their ice-machine was broken during the 2 hours we were there (easy fix). Overall, I recommend this establishment because they’ve got great prices for their menu size and they also give back to the community.

Nice pizzas and newly updated interior decor.

Friendly employees. Best pizza in Oceanside. Great spaghetti and meatballs. Functional beer selection. Frequent takeout and delivery customer, but the remodel a few years back stopped me from dining in. The feel is definitely turn-and-burn now where the old style was bring friends and family and enjoy.

Definitely some tasty pizza! Salad and drinks are basic. The people working there were nice with happy attitudes, just dislike the sticky tables even though they were cleaned. But very much family friendly.

Pepperoni, mushroom and sausage pizza toppings were very abundant and delicious. Caesar salad with chicken was enough for 3 people. Great place for pizza and large variety of other foods to eat.

Pretty good pizza and salad bar. Never had a bad experience. Lots of TVs

Pizza was a little undercooked but still very tasty! Service was good. Dining room was ok. Tables a little dirty, but comfortable. Overall a good experience.

Pretty good pizza n Italian food spot. Order at the counter, very pleasant staff, and delivery to the table. Had a calzone and a salad. Tasty enough, though I'll probably try the pizza if I return. Pleasant atmosphere, open and sunny.

Call in order, went seamlessly. Ordered the Hawaiian pizza, the put the Pineapple after baking so it was fresh pineapple but I would have preferred it to be baked with the pizza.

Starting with the worst thing was that the dishes and utensils where not properly clean food still stuck on them bathrooms could have been little cleaner but Service was great first time going we ordered the special pizza ,wings and anti pasta salad we also tried each dessert they had. First the anti pasta salad was brought out it was good but needed more meat and artichoke secondly The pizza was fresh crispy and cheesy. Thirdly which may have been forgotten about was the wings they came out late and are baked mild in flavor for being hot they were soft and moist for dessert we got the bananarama cheese cake and chocolate marble cheesecake and cannoli which were all pretty good I liked the bananarama the most the price for everything is fair the atmosphere is simple and open

Decent place to go for pizza but you have to order at counter. The other thing that we don't like and have heard other customers mention in line waiting to order is that they don't have prices posted on the menu board. Alady in front of us had to ask about precis on different items so the line got bigger because of waiting to order. The employee finally gave her a to go menu on paper but then she had to read that. The food is good and a basic pizza can take about 25 minutes to get. They only do slices on weekdays so on weekends we don't usually go.

Pizza was great , Philly steak , you deserve better . Don’t order it . Very upset and disappointed. For a busy restaurant, to go cheap . Please advise your staff on how to fill a sandwich. Because clearly , I only got half

This was one of my favorite places to get food. Unfortunately I usually don't order dinner until around 8:00 p.m. . Even though the hours state 9:00 p.m. during the week every time I have called at 8:00 p.m. I have been told that they are closed so apparently they do not take any orders after 8:00 p.m. even though they're still open for another hour. Guess I will have to start spending my money down at two brothers from Italy. Or one of the other restaurants around that seem to all be open till 10:00 p.m. and have no problem taking orders up until 30 minutes before they close . So long upper crust it was Good while it lasted

Today is the last time we’ll try to eat here. We’ve tried four times and the only reason we’ve tried that many times is because they have great pizza. It is so hard to actually eat here. Either they are closed randomly, there’s a 45 minute wait to get your food or like tonight, they have no more small pizzas. How do you run out of dough for a certain size? So disappointed because they legit had my favorite pizza.

horrible service and wait tome. rude to doordashers.

Came in days before our wedding party dinner and explained that I needed seating for 12 to 15 people. I was told no problem, I was told no problem. I left thinking all was handled. When we got there, nobody knew what I was talking about. I was told it was 1st come first served with the seating areas. Some tables had reserved sings on them. The owner comes out and trys to tell me they don't take reservations. Meanwhile, I have my entire party waiting standing in the middle of the entrance waiting to try and sit together. Too late to go somewhere else. Expensive pizza and rude management. Basically accused me of lying.

Sooo everyone’s ok with the employees making food with their bare hands? Literally I saw this girl pick up a palm full of salad ,throw it in a plastic bowl …wiped her wetty forehead and went to go make someone’s pizza 😂 disgusting … it’s just funny watching them run around the kitchen touching everything but some cooking gloves and hand you food with a bunch of nasty 20 year olds hands on it and nobody’s thinking that they could get sick

The waiter is like a deaf person. I shouted several times, but there was no response! !

Tried Upper Crust Pizza for the first time, I’m not going to lie and exaggerate, I’m disappointed. Price 2x 14” for $54 w/tip no problem at all knowing what’s going on with the tariff, high food prices, and wages. But the pizza itself was not upper crust at all. Pizzas were under cooked, very doughy, chicken had zero flavor. I’m not going to be rude or over negative, but there are better options when it comes to great pizza with lesser prices, Knockout Pizza, Flippin Pizza to name a few. Service was great, the cashier was polite and greeted me and I left him a tip. Place was clean and organized. But my review is only the pizza.

We were exited to check out this place and even drove out of our way to do so. Although we arrived an hour before their stated closing time we were told we couldn’t eat in the facility and they could only make pizzas to go. It felt a bit odd because they were other people that were just served. We wanted to eat our pizza warm but couldn’t since our only option was to eat outside, standing on the sidewalk with no napkins or plates, looking at the empty tables and chairs on the other side of the windows. We spend almost $60 on 2 14” pizzas and even left a tip. We would have bough a salad but they were out lettuce. The place looks nice but we won’t be back due to the bad customer service. They were nothing the like the friendly and welcoming people at the Vista location. We’ve always had a good dining experience there and it’s less expensive. The Oceanside location should update their hours online or have a clear announcement about their true hours to not deceive, confuse or upset their customers.

Tips must be given here. The food here is really delicious, but I feel that their service is very bad. I heard the waiter quarreling with a customer while enjoying the food. Oh, my God. I didn't tip at the checkout, and they actually asked me for a tip. This is crazy. God, this is embarrassing.

Worst place I've ever been too pizza trash wings trash they taste like they just came out the freezer and didn't get microwaved right and the workers ignore you
