Google map took us around to back area. Enough parking spaces and plenty of more parking spaces on the front area. Restaurant itself was small and cozy. Few tables inside and outside. We chose to seat inside. We ordered primo's special pizza, caesar salad, and chicken wings. Primo's pizza Dough was not too thick, and flavorful. No egg included in a dough . Kid is allergic to eggs but he was able to have few bites which was so great. All staffs were so nice, and great services. They put on a cartoon for my kid. That very nice of them. We had great experiences and delicious foods from this restaurant. Highly recommend and definitely coming back! read more

Great local pizzeria! Their pizza dough is perfect, not too thick not too thin. Our favorite one is the chicken broccoli with the white sauce. They also have great pasta dishes and the best garlic cheese bread! It's located at a plaza with tables inside and outside. Plenty of parking available. If you are tired of the big chain pizzas, that's the place to try. read more

The pizza was fresh, tasty, and well prepared. The crust was one of the best parts. The only reason for four stars is that it felt a little light on toppings. read more

The line was long at Pelly's and we had a time crunch so we decided to try Primo Pizza. The bad: -Dirty af -Not made in house desert is $7 (cheesecake, brownie, cake) -Not thin enough pizza to be called "NY style" -still use plastic cups, lids and straws The good: -pizza had a good taste -pizza by the slice special -lots of shared seating outside -Lots of parking behind the building -across from a dog grooming place so you see doggies Wouldn't recommend. read more

Service was great! They had my pizza ready on time. Food was good, everything tasted fresh.

The pizza here is truly delicious. We've been to Italy, and I can confidently say this is real Italian pizza, not the typical American style. The quality and authenticity really impressed us. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back! read more

We stopped by for cheese pizza during our travel and this place Ives up to its five star review. The cheese pizza had lots of cheese; not oily/greasy. The crust is crispy. The whole cheese pizza comes together perfect. Will definitely come back and plan to try their other Specialty pizzas and spaghetti. read more

A beautiful family run business. Lots of parking and tremendous service. Tonight I ordered a pizza with half that my wife loves everything on and my half was just two items. My wife's half was spectacular, she even said they know how to please a woman. It had more vegetables on it than we've ever seen on a pizza. Thank you, Prima for making my wife happy. Mine was good too, and the meatballs are really good. Local spot that you kinda have to find in the back of the shopping center, but do yourself a favor and find it. Really good prices, great service and easy, free parking. read more

We eat a Primo Pizza at least once a month and it's our go to pizza place whenever we have company. Their sandwiches and pasta dishes are delicious, and be sure to take advantage of their special. The service in the restaurant and delivery is always great. They have a small indoor dining area and a wonderful outdoor dining area that they share with Polly's next door. read more

Primo is the best, whether it's Pizza, Pasta or Sandwiches. The food is always well prepared and the staff are welcoming, Primo is definitely the choice for Italian food. read more

Love the extra large pizza. The crust seems thinner with this size. Top notch ingredients and our favorite

I would say the pizza bread is good,it is just toooooooo salty. This is the saltiest pizza I had ever.

We hosted a family reunion dinner for 80, and Nick and his crew made 25 pizzas for our party. Hot, fresh, and right on time for our pickup. We appreciated the delicious pies, as well as the timeliness and accuracy of the order. All 25 hot and fresh at 5:30 pm. Nice work guys! Thanks. read more

We dine from Primo's on average once a week. Their food is amazing! Of particular delight is their cheese lasagna, capellini pomodoro and ziti Parmesan! All favorites of ours. They have the most amazing Italian vinaigrette dressing for your salad! Don't forget to ask for that! Their sit down dining is limited so we always opt for delivery or takeout. Living down the street makes Primos a convenient favorite for our family!The staff is always very pleasant and responsive to our requests! All in all, a great Italian experience! read more

Looking for pasta after a day in LegoLand and Yelp brought us here. It was great! No fuss ordering. Food came out fresh and quick. We ordered the Pollo artichoke hearts, Fettuccini Pollo and the Chicken Parmigiana, with sides green salad. The homemade bread was so yummy, should have asked for more. The green salad with the creamy Italian dressing was good, salad was fresh and crunchy. A little bit over dressed for me, but it was good nonetheless. Pasta was cooked great and sauces were delicious. Serving sizes were perfect too.. no left overs or wasted food. Place was clean and inviting. Service was great. Two thumbs up! read more

Reasonably priced and great pizza! Ordered it while we were on vacation in Carlsbad, it was delivered on time with all of the utensils, napkins, and plates. The Pizza was full of cheese and toppings, great crust and satisfied our family :) read more

Nice little place with very friendly staff. Large menu with plenty of options, from pasta to pizza to calzones, salads, and dessert and it is not too expensive. Very easy to find in the strip mall and plenty of parking too. They quoted 20 minutes but it took less time for the food to come out. The calzone is huge. read more

The food is great here. I have had the spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, and most recently the ziti that has the perfect amount of melted mozzarella. Kids like the food too! Reasonably priced, and great service. Will continue coming back. Oh, and there's currently lunch specials for $7.99. read more

Had such an amazing experience working with the owner, Nick. He facilitated a very large order--53 pizzas!--and arranged seamless delivery to South Carlsbad State Beach Campgrounds. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and a genuine can-do attitude. Nick was responsive, accommodating, and made what could've been a logistical nightmare feel effortless. The payment process was quick and easy, and the pricing was more than reasonable given the size and scale of the order. We were pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was! The pizzas arrived hot, fresh, and right on time. And beyond just Nick, several members of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process--shouting out the team for their kindness and great energy. You can really feel the pride they take in their work. Highly recommend Primo Pizza for any event, gathering, or just a delicious meal. Top-notch service and quality all around! - Ikila & Jackie Hill read more

Good food, fast friendly staff. The lunch specials are very affordable. I would recommend!

My wife and I went to Primo for lunch this week. It's close to our house, so we love to go there. She decided to go with the Antipasto Salad and I went the Pepperoni Sandwich. And, as always, everything was delicious. They have fast and friendly service. I just wish I'd save room for one of their desserts. They do look good! LOL read more

It wasn't good. I had been craving spaghetti for some time and it just ruined it for me. Also got a pizza and it was blah very disappointing

Glad this place is so close by. Honestly we come for the dough and make the pizza at home with our own ingredients. This way we can have a fun pizza night with friends or just our family. Their dough is amazing though and everyone is always polite! read more

Ordered a Margarita pizza, Fettucini Alfredo and a salad online for pickup since they don't deliver to my area. We weren't expecting much since most of the pizzas we tried elsewhere left lots to desire. This place knocked it out of the park! Everything was fabulous, and pizza came close to NY style with a thick soft crust that is foldable. There were 4 adults with healthy appetites, and we had a considerable amount of food left over for a reasonable price. We will certainly be back! read more

Primo Pizza & Pasta is one of my favorite restaurants to hit in Carlsbad! Consistent exceptional service, amazing food, and all around a great experience every single time read more

Very small restaurant with an extensive menu. Service was fast. My husband ordered a pizza and he was pleased. However, I had the fettuccine chicken and broccoli and it had no flavor. The broccoli pieces were huge and hard. The chicken was good but that's about it. Spent $70 on food that isn't worth 5 stars. My daughter seemed to like their spaghetti with meat sauce. I'm not sure if their specialty is just pizza because pasta is not it. Mozzarella sticks didn't feel freshly made more so store bought. read more

When to pick up my pizza and the price went up 20% from 2 weeks ago. Have been buying pizzas there for over 5 years Really surprised since our food inflation has increased about 3.7% . $30 for 14 inch pizza is a lot read more

I go here at least twice a week for their lunch special. Can't beat the price. Esty is super nice. The food is delicious and service is fast. read more

Definitely recommend this restaurant. I live close by and been coming here 10 years. The pizza, pasta, appetizers and sandwiches are all delicious. read more

Very clean place! TVs in both corners, lots of drink options and food options. I wanted to try everything but Pedro suggested the bbq chicken pizza which was probably one of the best bbq chicken pizza I've had! Bbq sauce is tangy and not overly sweet, perfect amount of each ingredient. Staff was also super friendly and helpful. My new favorite stop, we will be back & telling everyone about this delicious place! read more

What a great restaurant Excellent service and the food is delicious!! I'm in love with there menu ! The Spinach Manicotti is perfect and the portions are great!!! read more

I love Eggplant Parmesan, so much so that whenever it's available on a menu, it's the first thing I order on a first time visit to a new restaurant, and by that I can usually tell the quality of the rest of their menu offerings. As many other reviewers have stated, I tried their Eggplant Parmesan, and it was indeed excellent! I also ordered à la carte sausage and meatball to round out the judging, and both of those were excellent as well. I've actually been wanting to try their Eggplant Parmesan for years, and glad I finally pulled the trigger. My order was for takeout to take back to my hotel, and it was ready on time and still hot when I got it back to my room. Two thumbs up! read more
