Absolutely delicious authentic Italian pizza (Pinsa)! No fuss, just delicious ingredients! The crust is what sets this place apart! My husband gets super bloated after eating pizza and we have determined that it is the crust. Not with this crust! It is light, airy, and full of flavor without the feeling of being bloated or overstuffed after you eat it. The ingredients are simple and it is only to go. Service is great! The ambience is simple. You go in, order, leave with delicious pizza. Best part is you can order pizza to bake at home or just buy the crust by itself to make whatever you want with it! We love using it for hummus!

Personal Pepperoni and Sausage and personal Pesto pizza

I wanted pizza and I decided I wanted to try this place! I walked in and it was pretty small and a little warm inside but that's probably because of the oven they have. The guy that took my order was super nice and recommended the pesto pizza. It was my first time here so I decided to try two pizzas. i ordered the pepperoni and sausage pizza and the pesto pizza. I didn't wait that long for my order to be ready so that was nice (: The pepperoni and sausage pizza was pretty good, decently seasoned meats. The pesto pizza was also nice, no sauce on it (white or red) and had dried tomatoes on top and it was also delicious. The bread on both the pizzas was cooked perfectly! It was so light and nicely crisp but not too much where it's hard but in a good way. If you are looking for good quality neighborhood pizza you won't be disappointed here!

WELL I AM THRILLED that I discovered this place through a coupon book I received in the mail. I am always on the hunt for mom & pop pizza shops because they're always SO tasty and fresh, unlike Papa Whos? or domiNOs. PinSarElla is my new fave!!! Especially for crust lovers, PinSarElla is a MUST. Definitely a take out only type of place so I suggest ordering ahead so it's ready by the time you arrive. I was greeted immediately when I walked through the door by their friendly staff and my order was packed and ready to go, they even included napkins and disposable plates (which I LOVE--no dishwashing dinners, yes PLEASE)! I ordered 2 larges to share with my boyfriend, which I will say are pretty small for a large, but for me, 1 of their larges would be the perfect personal pizza size, so it just depends how much you like to eat. Bufalina - YUM! Similar to a Margherita pizza. The sauce is just on another level so so SO good!!! And the basil adds that refreshing invigorating flavor along with the cheese. Of course, the crust is to die for, the perfect match between a crunchy and doughy crust. Amatriciana - AMAZING!!! Will be getting this one every single time. The perfect balance of meat to cheese to sauce. My boyfriends only complaint is there was a lot of peppery seasoning on each pizza. I personally loved it and wouldn't change a thing! Already looking forward to my next pizza night and having more PinSarElla!

Marcus F.

The best pizza (pinsa) crust in North County. This very Italian Pinsaria bakes from-scratch crusts and adds fresh toppings like homemade mozzarella and picked-on-the-spot basil leaves. What makes PinSarElla so special is their "Roman-Style" dough. It's soft on the inside, yet crispy on the outside. They say it's healthier, more digestible, and has half the carbs of regular pizza dough. Just know that traditional Italian style pizza is generally light on toppings. So if you want a pound of stuff piled high on your pizza you'll want to go to Pieology instead. At PinSarElla, it's more about the simplicity of the flavors and I can verify that it tastes great. Tip - If Taco Bell's "Mexican Pizza" is your favorite pizza then PinSarElla is not the place for you.

Melissa F.

Chef/Owner Michele puts his heart into PinSarElla and you can tell! PinSarElla combines pinsa (the ancient roman pizza) and fresh mozzarella cheese. The result, delicious! Both the pinsa and mozzarella are made in house fresh. This is definitely Little Italy quality, while being in Escondido?? I tried the pesto in a classic size with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, pesto, basil, and parmesan! Definitely call and order ahead of time!

Mike D.

WOW! What a hidden gem! Glad I found this spot. Everything we ordered was made to order and fresh. Ingredients were on point and the crust, oh the crust! Crunchy, airy but still some substance to chew on. This will be my only go pizza spot here in Escondido.

Bill P.

This is truly a hidden gem ! Its actually like crack! I went yestetday and got the Italian style sandwich, it is packed with flavor a good size. It was so good I actually went back today for another one. My got the pepperoni pizza yesterday and it was legit. He really liked it. This the kind of place you don't want to tell anyone because its so good you want to keep it all for yourself. But as a true yelper I believe the word should get out. So come a give them a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I will be back for sure probably, again this week.

The base! So delicious even without toppings!

Jas G.

The Healthier version of the Authentic Roman Pizza - I am so glad to have tried this place and experience the process of making the Pinsa! Their crust is perfectly crunchy outside and soft inside and the dough takes 72 hours to be prepared! It's lighter and won't make you feel bloated after! I tried their pesto, Burrata and eggplant and Pepperoni and even brought some home for DIY! Loved it! It's a take out only spot so be prepared for that! Can't wait to be back!

Jennifer A.

My first time here and first time trying Roman pizza, the owner Michele did not disappoint I went on a presentation and learned about fresh mozzarella and the way they make the dough, we had soo much fun and learning about his culture and bought a few pizzas after to support :) go check them out and support

Saul B.

This is a hidden gem in North County. Tastes very authentic just like the Pinsa I had in Rome. They sell a variety of red and white pizzas, they make their own mozzarella from scratch, and they sell take and bake pizzas. Everything on the menu is very budget friendly. The owner was so hospitable and was giving out fresh made sample of pizza, focaccia, cheese, almost got full just on the samples! The location is a little tricky to find, but I hope this place stays around for a long time.

We ordered pizza crusts and paid for the shipping and were over billed by $10 on the shipping. Not a big deal, but the owner took it upon himself to drive all the way from Escondido in the rain to give us our $10 back and deliver the crusts himself. This is the type of kindness we need in the world right now. Not to mention, the crusts tasted AMAZING after being cooked. I highly recommend ordering their crusts or stopping by the restaurant! A wonderful restaurant and owner. read more

No physical location yet, only a traveling truck. Best crust that I have had in California! You have to try this! Pinsa crust is a healthier alternative to pizza based on the quality of ingredients and a 72 hour dough maturation process. The results are a more digestible, low calorie, and low fat alternative to classic pizza! Contact the owners, Michele Pagano, Ettore Longo and Robert D'Agostini and find out where they are going to be! It will be worth the effort! read more

Ok so I really want to give them five stars because this was THE BEST PIZZA I've ever had. But I can only give them four stars because of the terrible salad. We ordered (inside the store) the pepperoni and the meatball just to test the waters since it was our first time. We also ordered the Caprese Salad. Our food was ready in about ten minutes (it was a not too busy Saturday afternoon). Now the pizza was amazing with lots of delicious sauce and excellent crust and the meats were fresh and tasty (just a little sparse). The trouble was with the caprese salad. First, there was a long black hair in it, second there was NO BASIL and finally there was only three tomato slices to the four nice mozzarella slices, making it a real disappointment for a $9 salad. Luckily we had some ingredients at home to fix it up but ultimately we will never order that salad again. All in all we will be back to try the sandwiches and more specialty pizzas in the future. read more

I was excited to try a new pizza place. After checking their menu I ordered a pepperoni and margherita pizza. I love the pizza dough. Tasted so fresh and not heavy. Sauce was good. I was disappointed with the margherita pizza though. It advertizes with basil but there wasn't any on my pizza. It's hard to not taste the basil so I could tell there wasn't any. It basically was a cheesy pizza. I'd like to go back and try some different pizzas. Or buy the dough and make my own at home. Definitely worth a try. read more

Touching it even more so. So the person who made this sandwich knew it was stale, still made the sandwich, wrapped it and sold it to us. We had to put some of our bread at home on it. Not cool. My sandwich was good, but they left the big thick ham skin on the meat so I had to peel it off. Just not my liking to have that left on it.

She's always attentive throughout our entire dining experience and makes us feel well taken care of without being overbearing. She has such a warm friendly personality, and it's clear she genuinely enjoys what she does. As for the food, we like to try different rolls each time. Some of our favorites so far are the Escondido roll, Dynamite roll (definitely one of our top picks), Dragon roll, and the asparagus tempura roll. We'll sometimes add a spicy California roll too. On colder days, I love getting their miso soup or spicy tonkatsu ramen, you can even switch out the protein for an extra charge, which is a nice option. My husband usually goes for the chicken katsu curry, and I really enjoy the beef yakisoba or the teriyaki salmon. So if you're in Escondido definitely give them a try!

If waiting were an Olympic sport, this restaurant would be taking home the gold medal every year…read more I've given this place chance after chance over the last year, hoping each visit would be the one where everything finally clicked. Instead, it's become a masterclass in patience. The employees seem to have discovered the secret to unlimited break time because every visit they're either in the front or the back enjoying conversations while customers stand around wondering if they've accidentally become invisible. When I judge a sushi restaurant, I keep it simple: miso soup and a basic roll. If you can't make the opening act exciting, I'm probably not sticking around for the encore. Unfortunately, the miso tasted like someone waved a seaweed packet over hot water and called it a day, and the basic rolls had all the excitement of eating cardboard with a gym membership. Then there's the outside food policy. Apparently, if your toddler dares to nibble on a chicken nugget from next door while the rest of the family orders sushi, the Food Police are ready for action. You could walk in wearing a tuxedo made of hundred-dollar bills and order the entire menu, but one tiny bite of outside food? That's apparently the culinary equivalent of a federal crime. The strange part is that the restaurant actually has potential. The problem isn't the building... it's the complete lack of urgency. Watching customers wait while staff casually chat feels less like dining out and more like watching a sitcom where everyone forgot they're supposed to be working. After a year of giving this place more second chances than a reality TV contestant, I'm officially done. If you're in Escondido, do yourself a favor: spin around, point in a random direction, Google "sushi near me," and you'll probably find a place where the staff remembers customers exist. I genuinely wanted to like this restaurant. Unfortunately, the service disappeared faster than the flavor in the miso soup.

I enjoyed the hollandaise sauce for the eggs benedict but could have been spruced up to have something beyond ham and brioche toast. Perhaps adding spinach or smoked salmon? The true star was the slice of brioche toast. Deliciously sweet and made with fresh ingredients. Savored that and the mocha as we sat outside, enjoying a beautiful day.

I absolutely love this place! If you love good bread and good Pizza, this place is worth the drive to Escondido. I grew up spending all of my summers in Italy so my standards for good bread and Pizza are pretty high and Pinsarella definitely meets those high standards. They don't currently have anywhere to sit so my friends and I grabbed Pinsa and headed up to Double Peak to enjoy Pinsa and the sunset. You can also order the Pinsa on Door Dash and enjoy it from the comfort of your home. They sell Pinsa crust at their store so I've also bought the crusts in a large quantity and had a Pinsa making party at my house with friends. It was so cheap and so good highly recommend! read more

Then when I got my order thy brought our garlic bread! ‍. So I paid almost $10 for garlic knots when I didn't have to. But other than that, it was actually good! My husband and daughter got the pizza slices deal (Good Deal). I'd come back... I just wouldn't order the extra bread again.

Why aren't there six stars?…read more Tonight I couldn't decide between the lasagna and one other menu item so I asked the delightful young lady behind the counter with the terrific smile and cheekbones for her suggestion, and that was the lasagna. I have paid over twice the amount I was charged at 'Nice' Italian restaurants for lasagna but what I enjoyed from Two Bros' was more than twice as good. I was raised in Italian family so I think I can be a fair judge. The only problem now will be to resist going there once a week for an order. And the bread that was included was much better than the average "garlic bread" that's slathered with some yellow grease, garlic salt and paprika. Theirs was a nice and quite authentic dinner roll. So yeah, 6 stars.

Mostly dark throughout, red & white checkered tablecloths, chianti bottles everywhere. I was solo and upon entering I was offered what appeared to be the worst possible table in the place, a half banquette staring at a wall. I declined that table and found something more suitable and comfortable with better lighting towards the rear. I immediately began by ordering a half carafe of chianti which came filled to the brim. I also requested some bread. The waitress brought out a couple of empty plates and small dish of butter packets. No bread, but I have butter. Go figure. For my dinner I ordered the Lasagna with meat sauce (half-order) and a meatball. The bread wound up coming out with the meal. The lasagna and meatball were good sized portions, but nothing came out properly hot. Not even the serving dishes. Everything was just varying degrees of lukewarm to warm. This is a problem that plagues most Filippi's in my experience. Poway is probably the worst. Aside from the food temps, everything was tasty and flavorful. While there are other Italian establishments in the area, this one continues to offer fairly reasonable prices and expanded operating hours which I appreciate.

Tasty pizza is ... not great, but still ... kinda good…read more Came here for the Family Special, 8 slice pizza, breadsticks, and a 2-liter of soda for somewhat cheap. It fed all four of us, with a few slices leftover and while no one had any glowing praise for the food, no one threw anything against the wall, either. We opted for half cheese/half pepperoni. The crust was okay, an alright caramelization on the breading. I would have liked a nicer char on the meat, but it wasn't terrible. And the cheese itself was chewy and plentiful. The breadsticks, while a bit thin, still have a couple of nice and thicker ones so everyone had something warm and chewy to enjoy. And their dipping marinara was adequate. All in all, a good price, close to home, you could do worse than Tasty Pizza. I still think you're better served spending a few bucks more over at Two Brothers or Union, but this spot can easily do in a pinch.
