    I stopped by Pizza Nova in San Marcos for lunch on a Wednesday and had a really nice first…read moreexperience. There was plenty of parking, and the restaurant is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. They brought out complimentary garlic knots served hot, and they were so good we even asked for seconds. I also thought the lunch special was a great value for under $17. You can choose a salad and pasta or a salad and a 6 inch personal pizza. I ordered the Best Salad, which was delicious, and paired it with the goat cheese pizza. The toppings were good, but there wasn't any sauce on the pizza, so it ended up being a little dry for my taste. I'd probably try a different pizza next time. They also had a great playlist playing, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a really nice lunch spot, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The salad had apples slices, candied walnuts, dried cranberries with a delicious vinaigrette. It was a good size along with an 8" individual pizza. Very filling. And they serve garlic knots at no charge. Restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff very friendly. TVs in the bar area for sports games.

    I went in on a quiet mid-afternoon weekday to place an order to go. I was the sole customer…read moremeeting with the sole gentleman working that afternoon. My order was a relatively basic pizza, half cheese and half peperoni. The twist, which is probably unusual for the place, was that I ordered mine with double cheese, well, because I am a self admitted cheese-o-holic. My order was ready in less than 15 minutes. I live in the town next door so I didn't do my usual peek before leaving the place. It was when I got home and opened the box that I was so very very happy with what I saw. The amount of cheese was absolutely more than generous. Upon taking a few bites and examining the crust, it was indeed NY style thin. While that might not be a surprise to most people, most NY style pies I have tried in San Diego county fall far short of a true NY thin crust pizza. This is a great pizza I told myself. I even called back to express my gratitude to the lone wolf at the place. He was happy! Anyway, I applaud their indulgence with my cheese request and even with a "normal" amount of cheese, this place is EASILY the best NY style pie in all of San Diego North County. I would proudly recommend this place to all the Yelp crew out there. I will totally return!

    Great NY style pizza! My wife, born and raised in NY on the island cannot eat pizza unless it…read morereminds her of home. Pizza Union accomplished this totally! She had two bites of their cheese pizza at lunch today and exclaimed, "this is the real thing!" We found a place this weekend in Hillcrest, Bronx Pizza, that we loved also, but having Pizza Union in San Marcos is great. Forget other local places if you want authentic NY pizza. Appreciate Chris taking care of us today.

    This location is located in the North City District. It's located in an area that includes dining,…read moreresidential spaces, and shopping. Almost like an all in one little city. There's a parking garage that's basically a five minute walk away and validate your parking for the first two hours for free so that is cool! We had reservations, and were quickly accommodated upon arrival. The host was extremely friendly and the environment had a feel good energy vibe. It was a beautiful day to eat on the patio. Everyone was having a great time except for one crying baby lol. But that happens! The food was absolutely delicious, but let me start with that lemon drop martini. Wow! Super delicious. I could've probably drank a dozen of them. The focaccia was cooked perfectly. I thought the Montanara we're going to be like little pizza dough bites that you dip in sauce, but they're actually three giant pizza bites with different sauces and toppings! Very surprising to see, but pleasantly surprised. They were delicious! A nice crispy crust on the outside and a soft fluffy inside. But the star of the show for me, was the pappardelle with the Buona Forchetta (V) SAUCE!!!! Cream, egg yolk, parmigano, spicy marinara,black pepper... and I added crumbled Italian sausage for the win. The vibes were on point, the food was amazing, the drinks were delicious, everything was a win. I would definitely recommend this Italian place to just about anybody. I'm hoping all the other locations are just as good!

    One of my favorite Italian restaurants for years! This was my first location I originally visited…read moreand have always loved it. Really easy to get into and to be seated quickly. Great atmosphere as well. Honestly you cannot go wrong with anything on their menu! I recently tried their gluten free focaccia bread and I have not stopped thinking about it because it was so good. Literally can't believe it's gluten free. I also had the due pomodori with shrimp and it was also heaven. Can't beat their pasta! My other favorite sauces in the past have been their carbonara, buona forchetta, and aglio olio e peperoncino. Also their lunch menu is delicious too!
