After purchasing barongs and Filipinianas, my wife, brother, SIL, and I continued our double date day by grubbing at The Shop. Prior to our outing, I sent my family several recommendations for lunch with two burger joints in Escondido and one restaurant in our neck of the woods. The Shop was the last rec and I knew my brother and SIL would probably pick this spot because it serves cocktails and I was right. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed the food, my family enjoyed their adult beverages, the ambience was really good, and I thought the customer service had some opportunities.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Shop is located in Rancho Bernardo, specifically on Bernardo Center Drive. The restaurant can be found within the Rancho Bernardo Town Center shopping center amongst a group of eateries. Vons is the anchor store and some of the other tenants are the following: The Kebab Shop, China Fun, San Diego Gymnastics & Parkour, BHC Chicken, SDNY'S, and Casa Lahori. There is plenty of free parking at this shopping center. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Shop has plenty of outdoor umbrella covered seating and a spacious indoor eating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, there is bartop seating overlooking an assortment of adult beverages, there is a good amount of wooden tables and wooden chairs, and there is a long wooden fixed bench with a white brick wall where you'll lean your back onto as you dine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Shop has decorative light fixtures, a character and boom box decal on one wall, framed black and white pics on another wall, and there's a television above the bar where we watched World Cup soccer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress and the staff we interacted with were friendly, but I wished our waitress checked up on us more often. I asked one of the staff, a smaller young lady, for a refill of my Shirley Temple and for a box for our leftovers, but it took awhile for those requests to be taken care of. One of my gym friends asked me whether I had dined at The Shop and after telling him I had not, he recommended this restaurant and mentioned that it served memorable cocktails. My brother and SIL are bourbon aficionados, so I knew they'd select The Shop to eat lunch at after they checked out the Yelp business link I had sent them as one of the three recommendations. I don't indulge in adult beverages, but my family ordered Old Fashioned drinks and they appeared to enjoy their drinks. Prior to grubbing at The Shop, I couldn't tell what type of cuisine it serves, but I now know that they specialize in Italian cuisine. They serve starters, cheese + charcuterie, salads, sandwiches, housemade pastas, signature pizzas, desserts, and sides. We decided to share appetizers, so we ordered two orders of freshly baked garlic rolls and my family ordered the spinach artichoke dip. We got to The Shop around 12:30pm and a few minutes after we ordered our starters, we were told the spinach artichoke dip was sold out. We were bummed that after opening at 11am, they were sold out of that dip. The garlic rolls were made with garlic, herb butter, and parmesan. They were fresh and tasty. Instead of the artichoke dip, my brother ordered the burrata bruschetta. That bruschetta was fresh tasting and yummy. For our entree, the wife and I ordered one of their deep dish pizzas, which is considered one of their specialties. We selected the Old Town, which comes with pepperoni, mushrooms, white onions, green bell peppers, fresh garlic, and black olives. The Shop needs to be visited for its deep dish pizzas. We ordered the 9" small and it was big enough to share. It was cheesy, fresh, had an abundant amount of ingredients, and I thought the crust was delicious. That pizza was appetizing and filling. My family and I had a wonderful date day outing experiencing The Shop for the first time. I definitely want to try out their pastas, sandwiches, and their meat pizza. Hopefully they won't run out of their spinach artichoke dip the next time we visit. read more

WORTH THE HYPE! Our group of 7 came in on early Friday evening after our Friday evening yoga session at Be Yoga and Wellness (with Lili, instructor) down the street and we were so glad we ended the night at The Shop. One of our friends came here before, had Gavin as her server and SWORE the best pizza ever was a mushroom and roasted garlic pizza. We quickly got in but I don't recall if my friend made reservations. I'd suggest making them just in case because this place was booked and busy, justifiably. FOOD: We shared 2 salads and 3 pizzas. It was a perfect amount of food for us. We also got a charcuterie board that we devoured before I could snag photos DRINKS: Both co their mocktail options (passion fruit and cucumber) were amazing. A few in our group got beers as well as a gin & juice which they loved. We didn't feel rushed and Gavin, our server was incredibly attentive. I had asked for the bacon/meat on the side for the pizza and when we asked to get the best salad, he already knew to put the bacon bits on the side for the salad too. He even snagged us more roasted garlic when our group needed a clove for each bite. He was so great! We'll be back for mor! Ask for Gavin, he's one of the best! read more

This salad was sooooo delicious! You know what would be better? If it had protein included.

I'd come back and try their homemade pasta next time! read more

IYKYK Little Star-style pizza with the cornmeal crust deep dish -- and somehow it's in San Diego. Turns out the owner worked with the chefs! This place was a little slice of home. We ordered the Old Town deep dish and instantly recognized that famous cornmeal crust. If you know, you know -- Bay Area spots like this usually have an hour wait on a weeknight. We split the caesar salad, a small Old Town deep dish combo, and two hazy IPAs during happy hour on a Sunday night. The cornmeal crust with fresh tomato sauce gives this style its signature light and airy feel. Left with happy bellies and already planning our next visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bonus: fantastic outdoor patio with a fountain, great for groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My family and I visited this restaurant for my in-laws' anniversary. It was one of the best experiences. The food was awesome. We ordered a deep dish pizza and it was gone immediately. We had two more family members join and they ordered the thin crust- also fantastic. I must give a shout out on the water quality - it was clean, refreshing, and crisp as water should be! I really liked the service team - attentive and was very helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was energetic and elegant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A go-to spot when we are in town. No health violations - way to go The Shop Team! This is really important to our family. read more

Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 We had an event to attend nearby and decided to stop by The Shop for pizza and drinks beforehand since it was close by. We came on a weeknight and it wasn't busy at all, so we were welcomed right away and seated outside. It was the perfect evening to sit outdoors, slightly chilly, and the staff immediately turned on the heat lamp for us, which was much appreciated. The service was excellent from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed and consistently checked on throughout our visit without ever feeling rushed. We ordered a deep-dish pizza that we were able to split into two flavors, "the 858" and "Where's the Meat" (which were recommended by our waiter), along with the golden beets and arugula salad and sangria. I'm typically not a fan of deep-dish pizza, but wow, this one completely blew me away. It was extremely delicious, very fresh, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The crust was thick and crunchy, just the way it should be. I am glad we were able to split the pizza into 2 types! The golden beets and arugula salad was light, refreshing, and very tasty, and the sangria was yummy as well. Overall, I highly recommend this spot. The service, ambience, food, and drinks were all top-notch. I can't wait to return and bring more friends for another enjoyable evening. read more

We came for a date night on a quiet Monday evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shop was clean, spacious and our server was super friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Managed to grab a happy hour bruschetta which was delicious. We did a DIY small pizza with pepperoni and pineapple. Though the owner did give us an estimate of how big it was, it was a bit smaller than we expected but still fine for two. Probably better not to overeat anyway haha. Overall really cute little pizza shop near us and we'll be back read more

Updating my review to 5 stars for the consistently good experience! Pizza is delicious and special. Fresh ingredients, strong tomato flavor, a good balance of cheese, what more is there to ask for? Not what you can get from just any pizza place, especially the deep dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant wasn't crowded even on the weekend. The place is spacious and the music isn't too noisy so my party could actually chat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pizza didn't take an outrageously long time to come out. And the waiter was very friendly and personable. We left happy and full! read more

We tried the deep dish pizza where we were able to order half-half (North County and Where's the Meat?). It was definitely an interesting flavor and I found the crust unique (seems to have some corn?) - I like the North County better as it felt more balanced, but overall they were not that heavy and easier to eat than some other pizzas. I would definitely again especially given the great customer service - we had our dog with us and they were willing to turn on the heater just for us two as we were the only ones sitting outside. They were very friendly and helpful as well, including giving a water bowl to my dog. Unfortunately there's no dog menu and all their meats are pre-marinated, but otherwise my dog was quite comfortable! Thanks again! read more

The Shop in Rancho Bernardo is an absolute gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is friendly and genuinely welcoming, the seating is comfortable, and they're super accommodating from start to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drink menu is fantastic, especially their bourbon selection--clearly well thought out. The salads are fresh and solid, but the pizzas are where this place truly shines. Their NY-style pizza is good, but the deep dish is next-level. We went custom with our own toppings (or really, fillings) and chose spinach, artichokes, and ricotta--and wow. It was bomb. The crust is incredible, the sauce is perfectly balanced, and every bite delivered. If you're looking for a locally owned spot that does pizza right and treats you well while you're there, this is it. Highly recommend. read more

We went as a party of 18 including 11 children ; this was coordinated a week before and refined on the day of, including starters ready in the tables when we arrive and the number of guest. Our sitting arrangement was perfect on the quiet front patio where you forget you are in a strip mall. The patio heaters took away the cold damp air and it was super pleasant. Our waiter deserved a gold medal for his warmth , kindness, stamina and overall perfect service for a group this size who then moved on to ordering individual drinks and entrees. Our grand total was just over $80 per person which is very reasonable considering the quality and amount of food ordered. Highly recommended. Book in advance for a group and you won't regret it. read more

Best deep dish pizza I've had in SD hands down! Not only was the service amazing, but the food was great and their prices are extremely fair. All of the ingredients are so fresh and the dough is made daily. The spot was a little noisy but we were seated quickly. There's tons of outdoor and indoor tables too! read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon was seated right away. They have really good lunch specials and happy hour specials. We ended up getting the garlic knots, a North county deep dish and a cow regular. I think my favorite was actually the garlic knots. They weren't too garlicky but very flavorful. The pizza was good. The crust is not my style though. I tend to not like deep dish pizza but my husband did enjoy it. read more

The customer service wasn't good. I was with someone today who asked not to have cheese with her pasta order - when-she said it tasted like there was cheese asked the waitress if there was cheese and she said yes in the meatballs. She told her that unless she said it was allergy it wasn't her fault. I have dined here multiple times. This will be my last time. read more

Ordered some last minute dinner for pick up and this place did not disappoint. My cousin and I got the flat bread style pizza and the flavors were so rich! We also got the bruschetta toast and it was so delicious that I decided to buy the ingredients to be able to make at home and eat whenever. I'll be coming back to try their deep dish pizza and possible do dine in. The ambient in the night is beautiful with the soft light decorations and outdoor seating perfect for San Diego weather read more

The deep dish pizza was amazing and the slider was delicious. Service was great too. I would absolutely recommend over other places in the area! read more

The restaurant located in a plaza, plenty of spaces here and easy to find parking. Walked in on Monday night around 6:40pm, got seated right away. It has outdoor and indoor seating, very casual decorations, clean and tidy. Ordered house made meatball-- good texture and sauce, Beet salad and small size deep dish pizza to share - definitely generous portion. The salad is good, if add more beets will make it better considering heavy sauce in it. The deep dish pizza is yummy. Love the cheese in the pizza very much, but the crust is really hard ( over baked). The salty part and hard crust takes one star away -- sorry. The service is great! read more

The best Deep Dish pizza in San Diego! They also have lots of good salad options and the Beets are really good.

Impressive cocktail/spirits menu and the cocktails we got were pretty tasty. The squash soup special was very nice and a big creamy bowl. The deep dish and normal pizzas were quite large with tasty ingredients. The big issue was that we had to wait quite a while for our food and when it came out one of the 2 pizzas we ordered was the wrong one. They apologized profusely and took the pizza off our bill, which was very nice, but we did have to wait a while for the new, correct pizza to come out. read more

I'm sad to be updating my review with a lower rating. We dined in last night and the service was so slow. It took 45 min for our pizzas to come out. The meatballs were good but a bit too salty. Our server was friendly but didn't check in on us. It wasn't super busy either. Pizzas are pretty good. We may just stick to take-out in the future. read more

A great spot for fancy pizza. The 858 is my go to. Their honey roasted rainbow carrots are delicious too! With patio dining as an option and a clean inside, you have to dine here for sure but if you just take it home that's a good option as well. Just wish they had a kids meal option and another TV. Be back soon l. read more

Pricey but outstanding deep dish pizza and salad! Will definitely return when in the area.

Sooooooo goood! We sat at the bar & the bartender went above & beyond to accommodate, totally awesome. We made a couple adjustments to menu & he was really cool w/it which was nice. He even found the drink I wanted, lemonade instead of tea Surf Side. He was friendly & great, and the food was also great! We ordered salads, super fresh, with added chicken & there was no skimping! Thank you!!! read more

Great and inviting restaurant with comfortable seating. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is AMAZING!!! This was our first time at The Shop.

Our party of 13 was looking for a place nearby for dinner. One of the parties recommended this place since there is a large outdoor patio and that the food was great. We ended coming in on a Friday night at 8pm. We were lucky to snag the outdoor patio area which had several heaters. The staff was gracious to accommodate us and to take our large order. They were able to split the checks for us which was nice. We ordered the Burrata salad as an appetizer and then 2 large pepperoni pizzas to share. Our total came out to be about $75 along with an alcohol beverage. Our order did take awhile for it to come out. Everyone's appetizers and pizzas weee out and we still hadn't reviewed our salad. We had to ask when our pizza were on their way since it was getting late and the kids were hungry. Overall the food was good. The pizza was a bit greasy so dab with napkins. The service was great, as the employees came around and asked if we were ok and if we needed anything. Cute dining establishment with lots of ample parking. read more

The Shop offers up some of the best deep dish pizza my cuss hole has ever been blessed with. The crust is buttery and flaky and has an amazing deep fried quality to it. High marks. We had the 858, a pie with spinach, ricotta, mushrooms, garlic and onion. It was delicious and plentiful and a small was plenty for two people. We also indulged in the bruschetta beforehand and although delicious, we totally overindulged. No regrets; I don't hate the leftovers. Service was friendly and prompt and the space itself was super clean with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating (in a private patio area). Oh, and FULL bar. Yours truly will be back. read more

Not bad, but never going back. They did nothing wrong, this just isn't my kind of thing. If you want some kind of upscale pizza place, hipster beer place then this is perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They've done a lot more with the place than the Chinese place that was here before them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The exterior patio is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was here when this mall was built. I never thought I'd see the day this was turned into a patio. The guys are nice, very knowledgeable and friendly ( despite the T-shirt that said "Anti-Social Club". I don't blame him at all, I should get one. ) The deepdish pizza was 90% tomatoes and I think three pepperoni slices were in there somewhere. I'm exaggerating a bit, but not much. Eating the leftovers at home as I write this and I finally dug into a slice that had most of the pepperoni in it. My litmus test for a pizza is did it give me heartburn, did it keep me up all night, and so on. This was a good pizza, nothing about it was greasy it was very tame. On that same token, the crust was weird. I mean, it wasn't greasy, but it was... Not memorable. I'm not sure what it was made out of. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't something you return for. Still, the litmus test was "did it make me sick" and it did not. Honestly I'm kind of burnt out on hipster pizza joints and breweries everywhere. I don't hate them, I just don't understand the attraction. If you're young or extremely social, this is the place for you. read more

Jesse and the entire crew rock! The pizza is perfection. Even the GF CRUST is next level.

I came here early on a week night to meet a friend and it wasn't yet crowded. Our server Shane, was attentive and efficient. He was also very friendly and took care of our needs. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, which was nicely decorated. It was like a fancy pizza place. I ordered a small Veggie Pesto Deep Dish pizza. The crust was unique in terms of texture and taste. It reminded me of a sweet apple pie crust. I would come here again to enjoy a meal. read more

Disappointingly mid deep dish pizza. I wouldn't even call it deep dish, it was more of a regular pizza with a can of stewed tomatoes dumped on top. The crust is dry and crumbly and heavy on the cornmeal, almost a cornbread type texture.
