Came in with my sister and father looking for overpriced mediocre food. Kidding, though we did figure we'd pay for overpriced pizza. Fortunately, we didn't have to! We were told to sit anywhere, we did and we waited about 20 minutes for someone to come by and take our order and we were ignored. We had 3 staff members make eye contact and just walk past us. We decided to just head out, it wasn't worth the wait. read more

This place used to be awesome, now it's just a building full of rude a-holes. I've gave this place a few chances and I have been unsurprisingly disappointed each time. Last time I went I wasn't even greeted. I sat at a table for about 10min or so and the staff just kept walking by and there was maybe 5 customers total. That was when I said "yep, f*ck this place" read more

Very tasty pizza with quality toppings and plenty of them. I remember eating lamp post pizza after football practice it as a kid back in 1977. I remember it being tasty back then. I got stuck at a hotel in town and saw them and ordered it delivered, and I'm glad I did. It is tasty pizza and brought back good memories. I will definitely order from them again next time I'm in this town. read more

Came here last night and had a very odd experience. Our group of 7 went to sit outside around the fire and were going to grab a drink around the bar, but the server said she could bring food and drinks out to us so we said perfect. Our group was pretty hungry so when ordering drinks 2 of us started with appetizers as well. So far so good, but when trying to order is where everything shifted. After dropping off beers someone asked to order and she took his order and started walking away, someone else said can I order as well and after making an annoyed sound she took his order then started to walk away. Then I said can I order as well and then she slammed her notepad on the table next to me and asked for my order. After she ran away, note only 3/7 people at the table had been able to put food in. My guess is she was busy which is ok and we'd be able to understand but there was no communication just rude remarks. My appetizer comes out, but I still didn't have the soda I ordered (everyone else did have their beers though) so my husband went to ask the bar for a soda and another rude employee just handed it to him without acknowledging him simply put her hand out while turning her face away. Server comes back later and someone asks to order, and server responds with is anybody else ready to order one at a time. I respond with we were all ready but you keep walking away and taking orders one at a time. I'm not sure what her situation was, but the lack of professionalism and service here is why I won't return to dine in. This is disappointing because the location and set up is great. The pizza was also delicious. (stars for pizza) read more

We came to eat here tonight and did not have a good experience. It all started when we ordered. We did end up with a new guy (he was doing his best) he asked for help from those training him because something happened on his end after we gave him money for the order. Those training him were making it confusing. We were told to sit down. We went and sat and waited and waited. Started to notice that others behind us were getting their food. We go to the counter to ask where our oder was. They said they didn't have our oder so we asked for our money back (we did not have a receipt because we were never given one). Those training the guy did not believe us and did not want to give us our money back. They then said come back in 48 hours for your cash we kept pressing. They then told us they can only give us $20 back in cash and the rest on a gift card. That was not ok with us. Then they said ok $20 in cash now and we would need to come back in 48 hours for the rest. We did keep pressing and we did get all of our money back. Overall they were rude and did not have great customer service and wasted over an hour of our time. They did not offer any compensation. read more

Came out of the movies and thought let's try this place. $65 dollars later for a large pepperoni pizza and 20 wings I was totally disappointed. Not only was it way overpriced but the wings tasted stale like a box and I'm almost certain that is the same pizza they make at Costco. Looked the same and tasted the same as Costco. read more

Awesome staff, good good and beautiful bar/restaurant/meeting place. Enjoyed the decor and general all round vibe of the place!

This is a great place!! Pizza is delicious.. staff is so nice!! Highly recommend!!!! Great place to hang out!!!

Best of seven small pizza is 8 slices to share between the 2 of us and we left with 3 pieces. It was really good! We were pleasantly surprised. I am super picky about my crust and it was spot on :-) The decor and atmosphere is cool and I'm loving the wood and brick walls. The double decker tanks is cool. It is a a breezy relaxing brewery that a lot of locals hang out at. Even the kids are here running around the patio.... read more

Really long wait for very mediocre or below standard food. Best to take your time and money somewhere else.

Chanele W took care of my order and set me up with amazing wings and ranch. Super kind and efficient! Thank you!

Okay. Liked the location. Outside in the evening with the fire pits going. People watching while they walked to and out of the movie theater was the highlight of the evening. It was an early saturday evening around 7 pm I am sorry to say our server was bumbling. Unorganized and not very good. Seemed like a nice person but the service was not good. Drink came incorrect. Ordered the taco pizza and my husband loved it. Asked for some banana peppers cause they put so little....she brought it after we finished eating and was ready to pack up. The beers were made there and no other offerings...like bottled beer. He did not love the drink. Mine was eh. Again the location was good. Would not go back unless things improve. read more

Ok so I love this place me and my wife visit at least once a month for happy hour date night they have a great selection of beer and there appetizers are so good can't go wrong with there garlic cheese bread there quesadillas shouldn't be so good!! read more

Pizza is good, casual atmosphere and games for kids, but the entire restaurant smells like dirty rags.

Get your act together. When I order pizza and chicken wings at once, I expect to get them AT THE SAME TIME. Why do I have to wait 5 minutes more for the pizza - when I'm given RE-COOKED chicken wings, which were not flavorful to begin with - FIRST? I KNOW the difference between fresh chicken wings and chicken wings that have been re-heated over and over. If I could give less stars down, I would. Your service is awful and I'll never go back to your restaurant ever again. Buh bye! read more

Love this spot. Great delicious in house beer and there pizza is that kind you loved when you were a kid after a sports game. It's nostalgic, greasy and amazing. read more

Thank you to the people that lamppost Pizza it's the best pizza I've ever had in my whole entire life in my whole entire family enjoyed it very much.

My boyfriend and I went to dinner tonight and had ordered a specialty pizza. Half, 9 yards with no olives and half pepperoni. When we received our pizza, it had olives on it. We told our server that we had asked for a pizza with no olives because of a food allergy. She was very apologetic and offered for a new pizza to be made and still keep the one we had been served. We agreed to a small pizza. After our pizza was served, Rachel the manager came to apologize and refunded our money we had paid for our pizza. We explained that wasn't necessary, but she insisted. It is very rare to eat at an establishment now where the service is friendly, and if a mistake is made, they right it. We really appreciated the personal sentiment of Rachel coming to us to apologize. Our food was delicious, the atmosphere was family friendly and it was clean. It was such a great experience that we also booked a date to host my sons team dinner for football. read more

I think Lampost has the best pizza. I will drive extra to get their pizza. It has been consistent for the last 30 plus years.

Sadly disappointed. :( I was so excited to try this place because all the reviews. I was sort of in a pizza mood, sort of in a pasta mood and decided on pasta and now I wish I got pizza. The picture of the Garlic chicken pasta they have on doordash is VERY misleading. It shows penne pasta, I got spaghetti noodles for some reason. I didn't get any cheese on it either like it shows. Had a really weird smell to it also. Once I took a bite I immediately said NOPE. Tasted like they threw some old sauce on it and stuck it in a microwave and also the chicken was mushy and the overall taste was very bland and off putting. Not to mention my garlic toast was burnt. Such a bummer. ;( read more

Stopped at Lamppost for a couple glasses of wine with salad and pizza this past Friday. We enjoy sitting on the patio to relax but this time things were below average. The meatball pizza was thick and doughy with very little topping. What got us was that the house wine went up from $6.00 a glass to $8.50 a glass! read more

The floors were dirty, that's the first thing I noticed. Portions were good. The prices were decent. Everything is almost self-serve: drinks utensils, boxes, and condiments. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, which was standard. I wouldn't hurry back any time soon though but if I return, I'd want to try their pizza. read more

Favorite go to place, walking distance to the movie theater, little cakes cupcakes, the candy store, and Cold stone for dessert options. Besides pizza, they serve sandwiches, salads, chicken wings. I love their avocado pizza, it always tastes delicious and the avocados are perfect every time. Prices are reasonable. Bartenders, and waiters are nice. They have a fire pit outside first come first serve . People smoke out here. love their framboise, and the gummy bear shot. read more

Piggy backing on Rob S. and his post regarding his experience. I was at this location the same time as this man and his family. I was sitting at a fire pit table, not the one he was at (there are 2). I personally asked to have the table turned off, after it had been lite by a group of people who had left. The group who lite the table to start gave the same reason "we just wanted it for ambiance", clearly noting the weather didn't warrant it! Ya, July in San Diego...the fire pit isn't a thing. Lindsay (the waitress) handled herself in a way I would call classy. I wouldn't have been so cool and calm being yelled at, cursed at, and generally disrespected. Having a "bad" experience doesn't give you a free pass to treat people poorly. I've come here several times, it's a great spot, great food, reasonably priced drinks, and a staff that is spot on with their service. I can't name a single time I've ever had a bad experience, in fact, if you did you really had to try to have the bad experience. This team goes above and beyond regularly. In short, I witness the behavior of this patron and it was appalling. His wife was clearly embarrassed, the excessive use of curse words to the staff was totally out of line, and the demanding of free food is super tacky. It's unfortunate that a people behave this way and then throw out the "Well I'm going to Yelp you"! Hopefully one day there is a reverse Yelp, where restaurants can Yelp the customers. If that was a thing, I'd recommend not serving this guy ever. Take the loss of the $30, it's not worth it. Shout out to the amazing bartenders who made sure each customer had a drink and never waited long for a refill, to the wait staff who were doing their all to serve customers way after last call (myself being on of those customers, sorry and thank you for not pushing us out)!! read more

Came in for lunch and did not regret it. Earnie the manager brought me my flatbread and also made sure it was up to satisfaction. And yes indeed it was. I will be back for lunch again. I recommend the blood orange IPA, light crisp and very blood orange like. read more

pleasantly surprised -- experience was, for the most part, much better than i expected. was kinda dreading going. got dragged there for an extended family-in-law pre-CHRISTMAS dinner (and my wife has two brothers and two sisters and they're all breeders. hey, i've got five kids, i can say that without judgement). but the company was enjoyable even if the noise level (without including our group) was rowdy enough to make conversation difficult. salad was HUGE. lightly dressed (hate cloying dressings) with fresh ingredients. pizza crust was a bit spongey (my prejudices run towards thinner, crispy crust pizzas) -- good for the style just not my preference. ingredients were generous (we ordered sausage and pepperoni, the kid's favorite). didn't see the "doggie" boxes for leftovers by the drink station until after i waited in line at the register -- my bad. nice selection of beers. had an underaged kid on the register who not only couldn't pour our beers but couldn't answer any questions -- probably not the best idea that we had to wait while he found somebody "legal." *** NOTE TO MANAGEMENT *** i'm guessing you were busy in the kitchen making sure things ran smoothly but every once in a while you need to check the dining room. we were there for nearly two hours and tables that needed busing when we got there still need busing when we left. also, good idea to ask the guy pouring beer not to "palm" the glasses from the top when serving -- grab 'em from the bottom so he can keep his greasy mitts off the rim where my lips are headed. read more

Lamppost Pizza - SAUSAGE and PEPPERONI - Pizza Near Me - Vista, California

I went to Lamppost Pizza for the second time around, and I had a more memorable experience. Tuesdays are 8 dollars off 2 medium pizzas, so that was cool. I had a Groupon, so I decided to invite the family out for dinner. The bar was really busy, but the restaurant was more laid back. Decided to get a mushroom pizza (large for about $20) and a few beers ($3.50 a pint). The pizza was fresh, with a great sauce to topping to cheese ratio (not too much). The beer I tried was a brown that was brewed by them (they're connected to Backstreet Brewing, literally). It was flavorful and rich, plus it went well with the pizza so I was sold. The prices can be a little high on the pizzas, but they are great pizzas. Also, the menu has a lot of appetizers and sandwiches that are reasonably priced. It's setup for families as well, which is nice if you have kids. Tip. If you're go to the restaurant side, you walk up to the counter and order. They'll give you a number (pour you a beer if you order one) and you go sit where you feel like it (aka an open booth or table. It's never polite to just take over someone's table right?). It's not that obvious when you walk in for the first time, so I didn't want you to look like you're lost. For a nice family type place, with a good bar, this is a place to try. read more

Kevin the Bartender was the only person to pay me attention...the servers attended who they wanted. The people next to us left because of the poor service. Kevin assured me my drinks and food And was apologetic to the lack of hospitality. read more

This place fluctuates between a 2-2.5, but since I'm all about rounding up what the heck I'll give it a 3. Here goes. If you want a tasty selection of beers on tap, mouth watering appetizers & witty humor surrounding you then don't go here. The Hef is not bad but the rest of the beers taste like they have been filtered through a mens urinal. The service can be hit or miss & the crowd is dodgy at best! To elaborate on the last point I watched a mother & father work the patio for drinks from people while their (looked like 10 year old) son sat and oogled the candy store across the street. The pizza from Lampost is ok but the appetizers suck the fat one, which brings me to the heating situation. This has improved over the past 6 months but at one point there was only one working heater. Since then they have upgraded and finally got their heating situation sorted out. There is a lot of parking due to the movie complex etc.... It's conveniently located and there is a Chipoltle right across the street. Apart from that no much else to comment about. read more

The good: 1-service was good and quick. Needed to be in/out in less than 45 min, so we sat at the bar and Brandon took our orders and served quickly. 2-Conveniently located next to the cinepolis theatre. The bad: Food sucked! What we had looked and tasted like it came out of a bag or can. The chicken in our quesadilla and salad tasted like it was precooked. "Salsa" was really ketchup. The greens used for the salad looked like the salad in a bag mix. Recommended if you want to grab a drink before a movie and want to get in/out right away. You might want to try somewhere else if you're hungry. read more

Really bomb-ass pizza! A big seating area with several TV's if thats your thing. They have a great Groupon deal I highly recommend. Friendly staff at least the times I have stopped in.

Thank you for being open! Pizza was amazingly good! The linebacker pizza paired nicely with the In the Woods IPA! Perfect combo. Cesar salad was fresh and delicious.

This place is solid. Great family restaurant. Sit in the patio area and kids can stretch their legs in the movie theater plaza; they also enjoy the little arcade. Pizza is great, and service is super friendly. read more

I cant beleive the ratings are so low for this place b/c this was one of the few places I wish I could go to again in Vista. (very few of those on that list I might add) My bf and I went here and thought the prices were kinda high but then reminded ourselves we are in the stuck up area of San Diego... this is to be expected. I told him to order just plain pepperoni. He came back and said he ordered a Taco Pizza.. what the hell?? That sounds disgusting. If I watned tacos, I'd have ordered them. Regardless I said well I'm starving this will have to do... WOW. DAMN! THAT PIZZA was freaking delicious!! To this day I still wish I had ordered it again before moving to LV. We went back and ordered 2 other different kinds and both were to die for. Loved them. my goal was to try every one of them before I moved b/c I always knew Vista/San Diego wasnt permanent. I miss this place though. I gotta say. THE BAR NEXT DOOR: is freeezing.. its a brewery. Nothing to write home about. Had a few drinks there a few times.. Highlight: The open flame fire pit outside on the patio is the nicest part. read more
