Brought us everything we asked for quickly (extra ice, parm & red pepper flakes, drink refills,etc). I bought some pastries at the bakery next door & he stored them in the walk-in cooler as it was 94° outside. Our food was served quickly & the checks were processed quickly. The food! I got the chicken & sun dried tomato white pizza - excellent - and shared with a friend. My side salad was large enough to be an entree. Everyone at the table made yummy noises & agreed we would be back. It's a real test of a restaurant's skill to serve a large group, and Del Lusso passed with flying colors. We had reasonable wait times, received hot food, the server was top notch, and check processing was quick. The only issue was that on a 90°+ day the landlord refused to turn off the giant fire feature & nearly roasted us to death. Landlords do t care about customers & this guy was being a jerk just to be a jerk. Everything else far exceeded our expectations! I will be going again & our neighbors have already agreed that Del Lusso will be on our rotation for future dine out events.

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.

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to share some concerns and disappointment regarding the recent changes to the camp store. In the past, the store was a fun highlight of the camp experience--a place where campers could grab some candy, snacks, and cool off with a refreshing shaved ice. It was a small joy that really added to the overall camp atmosphere. Unfortunately, the recent changes have been really underwhelming. The store no longer offers snacks or candy, and the shaved ice--one of the best parts--has been replaced with pizza that, frankly, hasn't lived up to expectations in terms of taste or quality. Many campers, myself included, looked forward to those little treats during the day, and it's been a real letdown to see them gone. I understand that changes sometimes have to be made, but I wanted to pass along this feedback in hopes that the store might consider reintroducing some of the favorites that made it special. A return of the shaved ice and a better snack selection would really go a long way in making the camp experience more enjoyable. This camp store is less the bad it is terrible don't go here Thank you for taking the time to listen. read more

We had such a fantastic experience at The Camp Store that we had to share. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed, welcoming, and beautifully put together. The outdoor setting is hard to beat -- open sky, coastal air, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay all evening. The food and drinks were excellent (seriously -- so good ), and the staff couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating. Everyone was helpful, upbeat, and genuinely seemed happy to be there, which makes a huge difference. As a live music spot, it's something special. The crowd energy, the sunset views, and the overall vibe create an unforgettable experience. It's the kind of place where great memories just naturally happen. If you're looking for a laid-back coastal hangout with amazing ambiance, good eats, and a welcoming team -- this is it. We can't wait to go back. read more

I was left underwhelmed by my recent experience at this establishment, and it's the best way I can describe it. I had anticipated a cool and hip beach bar, but what I found was more akin to an RV campground facing the ocean. The drinks and food were somewhat on the expensive side, considering the setting. Regrettably, the entertainment did not live up to expectations either. In fact, I've seen better performances at local karaoke bars. Overall, it was a disappointment, and I had hoped for a more exciting and vibrant beachside experience. read more
