    Slice selection
    Jane A.

    TASTE FRIENDLY (4.25 stars) Finally! Something simple, basic, and very affordable in Del Mar. Quick and easy! - PIZZA: thin crust, good - PRICE: very affordable - SERVICE: excellent and very friendly - AMBIANCE: block from the beach, small, but welcoming Pizza and beach vibes just go hand-and-hand. Both simple and fulfilling. They sell by the slice and they sell pies - more selection of pies over the glass casing for the slices. They also sell sandwiches and salads which I am excited to try next return. SPECIALITY OF THE DAY ($5) - cheese, pepperoni, mushroom, and garlic. As I've been told it's a staff favorite among the rotating flavors for speciality of the day. At first it tasted like a normal pepperoni pizza but then the garlic flavor really shines thru. The crust was "New York" style, thin and crispy... for me it had brittle edges! I find that thin crust pizza are just more fun to eat when on the go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND There are very few tables inside and out, however sometimes wiping your own table down may happen as people frequently so quickly that when one leaves another sits not leaving room for cleanup. Pet peeve, greasy marks on tables - be cautions that can be u friendly to clothes. I appreciate this space in the neighborhood and it appears so do many others!! Until the next review....

    I'm not a huge pizza fan but this is delicious pizza. Thin crust baked in a fire brick oven. Balance of flavors win every bite. Love the location since you can sit outside and it overlooks the ocean! We ordered our pizza while at the beach and walked to pick it up when it was done... long lines but service seems quick. If you're ever in San Diego in the Del Mar area, check them out. They also have an awesome ice cream spot right next door!

    Pizza by the slice and truly unique canned beers.  Cheers.

    This laid back spot offersis very solid New York-style thin crust pizza. I'm not a huge fan of the style but they do it very well here. The shop is small but makes good use of its space. There is seating inside and a very nice patio outside. You can get whole pies or pizza by the slice. Don't overlook the "specials." The special pizza by the slice during my visit had pepperoni, garlic, and mushrooms and it was outstanding. This was a home run for garlic-lovers. We also tried a cheese slice, pepperoni slice, and a sausage slice. They were all good but paled in comparison to the special one. All of the slices are good-sized and they are just the tiniest bit greasy (and I'm not complaining--I like a little grease on my pizza). This is not a divey pizza joint. In addition to pizza, they also have salads, pastas, sandwiches, and soft serve ice cream. They also offer far more different pizza creations than just the ones offered by the slice. Their canned beer selection was also outstanding. The prices are Del Mar/mere steps to the beach high but the quality and quantity of the food is also high. Parking is a disaster in Del Mar so good luck to you all. Service was very friendly.

    4 stars for the speciality pizza, the toppings and flavor were delicious! I can see this place being great if you need something quick but the slices are pretty small compared to other pizza spots. $4-$5 for a slice depending on what you order. I wanted to try the garlic bread but not for $10. But given it's this part of town, I understand the pricing. There are indoor and outdoor seating, outside has a good view of the ocean. The gentleman was nice, overall was good but wouldn't come all the time.

    Pesto Pepperoni.

    One of my favorite things to do when visiting Del Mar is grabbing a pie from Del Mar Pizza and walking down to the beach or grassy area nearby. The vibe here is family friendly, with an inviting ambiance both inside and out. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming as well. I usually opt for the Pesto Pepperoni, and it never disappoints. The balance of sauce and cheese is spot-on. For me, the crust is what elevates a good pizza to greatness, and Del Mar Pizza absolutely nails it! It's crispy on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside. Only reason for the 4 star is the prices. Spending $44 on a large pizza seems a little excessive. But despite the cost, I keep coming back. Would I come again? Yes!

    We got these pizzas at work and they were delicious! I love the crust of the pizzas. I usually don't eat the crust because it's too thick and chewy, but these were on the thinner side and tasted great. I tried the pepperoni and combo pizza and they were good and tasty. I will come by when I'm in the area next time!

    It was really good pizza, definitely recommend going. I liked the aloha ( the Hawaiian) and it's really good if you add jalapeno!

    Really cute spot after a day at the beach. Pizza is ready and they just need to heat it up, and the salad didn't disappoint. The patio outdoors is really nice. Everyone was helpful and they try to keep the space clean.

I also got the half panini and half salad combo which I was very excited to see on the menu because I wanted to try so many different things! I got the caesar salad and the prosciutto & brie sando.

A local friend recommended Aqua Mare, so I took my wife and daughter, and invited a few others. We were not disappointed. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Antonio (mgr).

I love it when restaurants are so welcoming. Started with the calamari and the ahi crudo- both excellent. But, the braised beef ravioli was the main attraction. Devon recommended it and it did not disappoint. It's rare that I order ravioli, but this was perhaps the best version I have ever tasted- made from scratch and so flavorful. Ended the meal with limoncello and housemade tiramisu. I would also recommend their martini made with the new premium Austrian rye vodka, NEFT. These were truly superior. Ample, free parking and a lovely sunset view from the dining room. Can't wait to return to Aqua Mare for another memorable meal next time I'm in Del Mar. Bon Appétit!

The pasta was claimed to be a creamy, truffle and cheese pasta with an herb roasted chicken. It wasn't that creamy, there wasn't really a truffle taste, and the chicken honestly just felt like a shredded rotisserie chicken. The pine nuts were a nice addition and the pasta itself was a nice texture but overall the dish was very underwhelming. The pizza we got was like a meat lovers pizza. It was good but the toppings were sparsely placed mostly on one side and it was a bit too much crust for me. I also tried bites of a chicken parm plate which was decent but nothing out of this world.
