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.

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.

White stone, Cheese slice, Garlic knots

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!

BBQ CHICKEN & PBG SLICES
Hayley E.

It's a thin crispy pizza, not the greatest ever but good for by the slice pizza! There are lots of pizzas to choose from for your slice or you can opt to order a large pizza. The large pizzas are definitely better than the by the slice option as they are fresher. The white sparrow was good, but I wish it had a little more flavor. We loved the BBQ Chicken. The PBG wasn't anything special. The service was fast! The restaurant was packed too which made it more impressive. It's a small spot, but we didn't have trouble finding a seat!

This review is for a private party we attended last night…read more Del Lusso's restaurant space may seem a little on the smaller side, but don't be mistaken, we had a party of 40 and there was plenty of room (all inside). And they didn't have to shut down the restaurant either. The party host was allowed to come in and decorate the place settings as well as bring in a mic and speaker for entertainment and speaking. It was a wonderful set up. As a party guest I was greeted just as if I was there for a private dinner. Each of us were asked what we'd like to drink and throughout the dinner the staff made sure to refill all of our drinks. I got an Arnold Palmer and hubby got a beer. Both were refilled at least once - mine maybe twice (strangely I can't remember - shows how seamlessly it happened). Even serving 40 people, basically at the same time, our dinners came out quickly and they were absolutely delicious. Everybody raved at how good the food was. I saw a lot of Chicken Parmesan, various pizzas and Pasta Fettuccine, etc. The servers were happy to help and make sure everyone had everything they needed. And as soon as people started finishing, they were boxing up leftovers and even placed them off to the side for us to pick up later. That made a big difference. It's the little things. The host brought a cake in for the birthday boy and allowed counterspace to cut and serve it as well. I'm telling you it was such a good experience. You really get personalized service and help here. The attitude of the staff was upbeat and hospitable. I never sensed stress or irritation, which really made a difference. The food was top-notch. The service was amazing and the place was comfortable. Why haven't I had a party here before? Haha

If Del Lusso cooked their pizza the way they cook their excuses, this would've been a great meal…read more Unfortunately, the excuses were the only thing fully done. Prices were ~20% higher than their website. I pointed it out immediately. The response: "We haven't updated the website, I guess we should." Happy Hour menu clearly says "Half Off Bottles & Glasses" -- but they refused to honor it. Manager said it's "only Wednesdays," then added "it depends how you read it." "Cheesy" flatbread had almost no cheese. L'Americano pizza tasted good but was undercooked -- pale dough, flat pepperoni, cheese not fully melted. When I pointed it out, I was told "that's the way they do it in Naples." I've eaten plenty of pizza in Naples -- that's not how they do it. When boxing the leftovers, my server even joked, "Maybe when you reheat it you can cook it the rest of the way." Seating was visibly dirty -- stained upholstery and worn fabric. Server was great; management was not. I left after one glass and had a much better drink next door. Not recommended until they fix the basics.

5 stars for the pizza & beer/wine & atmosphere 2 stars…read moresalad & wings Been going to Pizza Port for decades every time we are in Carlsbad. Always busy & popular place. Indoor and outdoor seating, handicapped accessible plus they have extra seating upstairs and now an additional patio on the side. Picnic bench style tables, not great for older parents. Dogs allowed! Pizza, beer and wine is absolutely always fantastic! Love the Roma pizza! Tons of toppings!!! Salad is typically fine but this visit it was just meh. Very simple salad with just lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, and cucumbers, but the lettuce was just okay & majority of the cucumbers were old/disgusting - look like they had been frozen or gotten cold and then uncold and then recold. Definitely should not have put those on a salad and given to a customer. Need some quality control. My son got the wings and will usually devour them, but was done after one, I tried them and so did my husband.... Would not get again, tasted super fatty. We have gotten the mozzarella sticks before and those are decent. You placed your order at the counter and then they will call your name for pick up once your food is ready and appetizers typically come out first. Separate ordering at the bar for beer and wine. Trivia night on Wednesdays 6-8 p.m.. Always busy, sometimes hard to find a table but pretty quick to get in and get out. Will for sure be back but only getting pizza and beverages.

We love Pizza Port in OB and we discovered that we love Pizza Port in Carlsbad…read more Same awesome pizza and beer. They always have a seltzer on tap for Becky. The staff at both locations are as excellent as the food. Pizza Port! Get some!

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.
