    Stopped by here on a Saturday around lunch and had some delicious pizza! This place is tucked away in the corner of a small shopping center by San Elijo. Plenty of parking. Customer service was good. Walked up ordered a few slices and they came out 10 minutes later. The place is tiny but their is a small row of seats on one side. Everyone else we saw that day was picking up. Oh and right now they are not delivering so check before you make your order! The pizza was so good! The crust was perfect and plenty of toppings, slightly greasy which is from the good cheese. LOL Just the right amount of sauce and everything. Nice and fresh and HUGE! The slices were over a foot long. Check out my pictures of the boxes. A lot of times when you order a GIANT pizza you lose some quality, this is not the case here. Very good quality and big slices. I will be back!

    Thin crust, ginormous pizzas. Friendly folks. I like the pizzas here but I don't love 'em. The crust is very nice. I just wish the pizza was a bit more flavorful. They are pretty generous with the toppings. Plenty of free parking. Prices are decent.

    Best pizza in San Diego!

    The pizza was good but not great. The toppings were sparse and the sauce was good but not remarkable. The prices are fair.

    I'm a New Yorker and can say I approve of this pizza joint. One of the better pizza places you can get around.

    I went here today at 1pm when it said it would be open at 11 but it was close. Is it permanently closed?

    I called today (March 31st). Definitely open. There website was down, and they are working on it. But they are for sure open.

Thin Crust spicy tomato sauce pizza with pepperoni instead of sausage - this wasu favorite! 10/10 It was hard to stop eating! Gorgonzola & Pear Pizza (with pepperoni added on) - what a lovely combo! I wasn't a fan of the pear itself but everything else went so beautifully well together. The pepperoni recipe was a great add on! Roasted Garlic with Goat Cheese appetizer - husband really liked this! Goat cheese was creamy and the combo was nice. My favorite part of these was the caramelized onions. Lovely! Fresh Soft garlic rolls were lovely! Warm and fluffy. Friends got the vegetable pizza and it was loaded with veggies! They said it was really good. They also liked the Broccoli with Penne Pasta and seemed to enjoy it. Good amount of broccoli in there which was nice. Tiramisu - husband loved this! It was just what he wanted to end his meal. I'm usually a fan of the creams so this one had too much of the sponge ladyfingers for me. But overall the flavor was quite nice. Definitely would recommend this place especially for the pizza.

There was plenty of parking, and the restaurant is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. They brought out complimentary garlic knots served hot, and they were so good we even asked for seconds. I also thought the lunch special was a great value for under $17. You can choose a salad and pasta or a salad and a 6 inch personal pizza. I ordered the Best Salad, which was delicious, and paired it with the goat cheese pizza. The toppings were good, but there wasn't any sauce on the pizza, so it ended up being a little dry for my taste. I'd probably try a different pizza next time. They also had a great playlist playing, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a really nice lunch spot, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    I went in on a quiet mid-afternoon weekday to place an order to go. I was the sole customer…read moremeeting with the sole gentleman working that afternoon. My order was a relatively basic pizza, half cheese and half peperoni. The twist, which is probably unusual for the place, was that I ordered mine with double cheese, well, because I am a self admitted cheese-o-holic. My order was ready in less than 15 minutes. I live in the town next door so I didn't do my usual peek before leaving the place. It was when I got home and opened the box that I was so very very happy with what I saw. The amount of cheese was absolutely more than generous. Upon taking a few bites and examining the crust, it was indeed NY style thin. While that might not be a surprise to most people, most NY style pies I have tried in San Diego county fall far short of a true NY thin crust pizza. This is a great pizza I told myself. I even called back to express my gratitude to the lone wolf at the place. He was happy! Anyway, I applaud their indulgence with my cheese request and even with a "normal" amount of cheese, this place is EASILY the best NY style pie in all of San Diego North County. I would proudly recommend this place to all the Yelp crew out there. I will totally return!

She had two bites of their cheese pizza at lunch today and exclaimed, "this is the real thing!" We found a place this weekend in Hillcrest, Bronx Pizza, that we loved also, but having Pizza Union in San Marcos is great. Forget other local places if you want authentic NY pizza. Appreciate Chris taking care of us today.

    This location is located in the North City District. It's located in an area that includes dining,…read moreresidential spaces, and shopping. Almost like an all in one little city. There's a parking garage that's basically a five minute walk away and validate your parking for the first two hours for free so that is cool! We had reservations, and were quickly accommodated upon arrival. The host was extremely friendly and the environment had a feel good energy vibe. It was a beautiful day to eat on the patio. Everyone was having a great time except for one crying baby lol. But that happens! The food was absolutely delicious, but let me start with that lemon drop martini. Wow! Super delicious. I could've probably drank a dozen of them. The focaccia was cooked perfectly. I thought the Montanara we're going to be like little pizza dough bites that you dip in sauce, but they're actually three giant pizza bites with different sauces and toppings! Very surprising to see, but pleasantly surprised. They were delicious! A nice crispy crust on the outside and a soft fluffy inside. But the star of the show for me, was the pappardelle with the Buona Forchetta (V) SAUCE!!!! Cream, egg yolk, parmigano, spicy marinara,black pepper... and I added crumbled Italian sausage for the win. The vibes were on point, the food was amazing, the drinks were delicious, everything was a win. I would definitely recommend this Italian place to just about anybody. I'm hoping all the other locations are just as good!

    When: Weekday dinner What: Can't remember what we ordered…read morebut it was a variety of pizza, spaghetti, ravioli, and penne. Experience: Overall the taste wasn't anything memorable to me and so it was only so so. It seemed like my experience was more consistent to reviewers on Yelp vs other sites which I was going with as a comparison, and I guess I'm more aligned with Yelpers! I was seriously hoping to like it since I'm gluten sensitive and reviews were mentioning their gluten free pastas were good. But not - I cook better gluten free pasta at home from specific store brought brands of pasta.
