Gluten-Free 10" Pizza
Shauna W.

Came in on a Monday night and it wasn't very busy which was nice . The Whitestone was calling my name , so I had it try it . We waited for maybe 10 ish mins, the gluten free was a bit longer but it's ok . 1st impression was " that's a big ass pizza ". The pizza was very good , lots of cheese and the ranch just sent it to 10/10. The ranch is so good , not sure if it homemade or not but bottle it and I'm buying it haha . I think the price was a little too high in my opinion. The gluten free Mike's hot honey and pepperoni was great , maybe a tad burnt but still good . We had a great dinner , but based off the price I probably won't come back too often . The workers inside are real nice and I love the feel of the place , definitely has a small town beachy vibe .

We ate here by accident and let me tell you, what a delicious accident. We were walking by and the smell of this pizza is so strong, it pretty much dragged us in. We ordered to go, but the restaurant looks pretty cool and clean. The staff is great. They also listened to our requests and it was perfect. Thank you.

Ok, the pizza would be a 4 but everything else would be a 5! The pizza options were awesome but what stood out most was the reasonable prices. Even though it's right there on the beach, we spent the LEAST on dinner for a family of 4 here than we did all week. Their specials are reasonable and the pizza was pretty darn good. Also, love a place that offers free refills. Makes the dollar go a little farther. It's a tight fit and small place, but I'd go there any day I was hungry at the beach. Service was good. Food was good. Prices great!

We love this place!! They have a 2 slices + drink deal for $11.50 that we always get. They have a good amount of seating but it can get full fast! It's order at the register and then they bring the food to you!! If there is no seating inside then grade your food and walk to the beach! You can't beat the location

KO pepp so good!

The pizza speaks for itself. K O is the local spot for any slice of your choosing and a cold beer. Go! Perfect way to end an amazing year or start the new one.

classic pizza spot in the homeland of carlsbad village. had a grand time with friends, server forgot my ranch but i'll let it slide.

Correct order

Update on this: I had called a few days ago about the refund and the gentleman who answered said they didn't have any record of one. I filed a chargeback with my card at this point to get the refund. Today, Andres, the store owner, called me to chat about the experience. He was very apologetic, understanding, and said they wouldn't fight the chargeback and would also credit my account as well for a future order. I appreciate so much that he took the time to listen and understand what occurred and apologized as well. It truly was an unfortunate experience as we love this place so much! I hope they get it all sorted out & we'll be back again soon.

I've been coming to Knockout for more than a decade since my days at Carlsbad High! I was happy to make my way back to this nostalgic spot and have pizza that was just as good as I remember it. This is a snug restaurant with a locals only feel, tucked right by Carlsbad Pipelines and a direct shot to the beach. This pizza hits like no other after a long day in the sun/ocean. The garlic knots are delish and the classic pepperoni and white stone slices are my favorite.

The parking is tough, unless you're one of the many riding a bike. The prices are good, considering its location, and the thin crust is a marvel... especially if you've ever tried making your own from scratch, and just cant get it right, either its too thick or you stretch holes in dough you've been coddling for a week and the emotion wells up inside you as you raised clenched fists upwards and bellow "Noooooooooo!" through a grimacing face. Their flavor options are good, and you can buy by the slice

Late-Night Lifesaver! We're staying at a nearby resort for 4th of July weekend and after hours of late-night swimming in the pool, we were craving pizza. We originally tried another place, but they wouldn't deliver an hour before closing -- thankfully, Knockout Pizza came through! They're open until 11pm and had no problem taking our late-night order. The delivery was quick, the service was friendly, and the pizza hit the spot. Crispy crust, great flavor, and still hot when it arrived. Thank you for saving our night and feeding our pool-hungry crew!

Delivery for one pizza took over two hours. Why bother offering delivery. Pizza is great. The "pepperoni bites" are not.

Had the Bronx pizza delivered. It was excellent with a thin crust and tons of toppings. It arrived hot and was truly delicious.

My family and I came from out of town to visit for a few days and found this gem of a spot…read more Food 10/10 We ordered the bbq chicken pizza, buffalo wings, and the pepperoni kids pizza. Everything was great! The bbq chicken was flavorful and had a great balance of bbq sauce and chicken. The crust was nice and crunchy on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside. The size is perfect for a party of 2-3! The kids pizza was a perfect size for my toddler who didn't finish it all but was very happy with the taste. They definitely don't hold back on the cheese!! So if you like cheesy pizza, this is the spot for you! Vibes/Ambiance : 7/10 We came on a Tuesday evening and there was a lot of people! I definitely can tell this place is a go to for sports events or just gatherings. The place itself is cute. The decor is a little funky yet modern in design. I will say the seating is a bit crowded and it feels a bit claustrophobic. The tables are very close to each other and the tables are small. This place having a bar is a major plus and the variety of drinks is huge! Such a great spot. The service was quick and they were very nice. The gentleman in the front was super welcoming and friendly. I will say, as someone who was only a visitor, Carlsbad doesn't seem too friendly overall. People seem very standoff ish and unwelcoming so the places we did go to that had friendly people really stood out. This place was one of them. If we're ever in town again, we'll definitely go back!

Ugh!!! I wish it was better but I can't say it is. Ordered my Mother's Day dinner at 8 AM. Super…read moreexcited bc I figure they have been open long enough and it's a chain so it should've gotten their act together. Nope. Received cold food. Not lukewarm....COLD. Pizza cold is okay. Buffalo wings is not. It's not crispy...it's soggy. I'm beyond disappointed since I chose it AND it was 30 minutes after the time I ordered. Although the order was placed over 8-9 hours ago. If you have an extra 30 minutes, like cold food and bad customer service...this is the place for you! *sighs*

I've heard about That Pizza Place for years but never knew where it was even located so we never…read moremade an attempt to visit. Once I realized it was super close, I got the family together and we made a visit on a Saturday. Parking was super easy and once we walked in, suddenly realized how large the place was. So much room! And with a ton of TV's. Only issue here is the TV's appear small because the room and walls are so large. Minor problem but time to get that 100" for the Padres games. We called our order in ahead of time, knowing it would take 15-20 min to drive down. Large deep-dish pepperoni and 12 buffalo wings, half mild and half spicy. Fam said wings were spicy but I didn't think so at all. Guess it depends on your tolerance. The deep dish pizza was phenomenal. I still don't know of any place in Oceanside or Carlsbad that serves deep dish Chicago style pizza (other than Rosati's in Encinitas). Service was great. Calling ahead was a huge win because everything was ready the moment we walked in. Just had to buy some beers and pay the tab (~ $80-ish). I didn't get a receipt which I now wished I had. Beers were ice cold. Nice to see they have a whole bar in the back, though it's a bit strange. Most places would put the bar up-front by the entrance so you can see how packed or fun a place is without stepping in. We will most definitely be back to try other stuff now that we know how close they are. Can't wait to try happy hour.

Changing my review since the last time I tried this restaurant…read more I called to place an order, and the number they have on file is a non working number. Drove to restaurant to order the pizza. Walked in to kids running all around, not clean and more of an arcade, than a restaurant Stood at the counter for 10 minutes until someone in the back noticed me and took my order. Large pepperoni pizza, and 12 piece wing. $50!!!!!! 20-25 minute wait. I was excited to try their food again because the first time I had this spot was at a party and they supplied the food. I enjoyed the pepperoni pizza. I have no idea what happened this time around was! I could be wrong, but the crust is the frozen kind. 0 flavor to the crust, sauce or cheese. My husband and I had to add oregano, basil, and garlic. I was laughing at the other reviews that said just get a frozen pizza but now trying the pizza I agree! Digorno is way better! The wings are just unseasoned fried wings with buffalo sauce. This spot is bland bland bland. They should just make it into an arcade spot, because they'd probably make more money if they stopped trying to lean into the pizza business. Won't be coming back, not worth my 25 minutes, my $50 or my taste buds.
