Lunch special menu
Ross M.

Fresh, fast, hot, convenient location and a good deal! We got the number 6 and number 9 to go for lunch. Will be coming back for a full pizza.

In front pepperoni , in back Hawaiian
Tammy B.

Cute little pizza place. Freeway close and plenty of parking. We each ordered a lunch special. We had one 2 pepperoni slices and a drink. I believe this was $10.49. Hubby had 2 slices of Hawaiian with a salad and drink. It think it was $11.49? The pizza came out within 10 minutes piping hot and fresh. The pepperoni are the cup kind and tasted great. The crust is a thin style crust and had good flavor and a light crunch. Hubby said the Hawaiian pizza was really good too. The drinks are in cans in a glass front cooler and there were a fair number of choices. The proprietor was friendly and welcomed us in the establishment. He also delivered our food to our table. There are about 4 tables for dining in and it was clean and well maintained.

It's pizza. Conveniently located for craving just a slice. Thin crust and no frills by-the-slice plain cheese and pepperoni. I thought we had enough oil to lubricate a Kenworth truck. Yikes. Darn near slid right off the paper plate. It's pizza. Not much more than that. Dicks

Entry and menu.

This is a small mom/pop shop and I'm sure they could use your business. They have pizza by the slice all day, which is great. We were just driving through the parking lot and noticed Cusimano's so we decided to give it a try. The slices were large and they tasted good. We'll be back to try out some other options.

Cold pizza that appeared to be sitting out for several hours and might not be safe to consume. It is heading to the trash.

I thought I'd try this place when I saw it in the Too Good To Go app. BIG MISTAKE! I had read online how customers had received two items from a choice of three (pizza, sandwich and pasta) from a different location of this place. I assumed all locations would offer the same thing. Not even close. I was handed a box that had three cold pieces of pizza in it. Two cheese and one pepperoni. It was not warm at all. It appears to possibly be from lunch time. I picked up at 8:15pm. I'm not even sure it's edible or safe to consume at this point so I'm going to toss it. $6.48 down the drain. They advertised it at a $15 value. Not even close. Avoid this place! They don't seem to care about their Too Good To Go customers. They should remove themselves if they're just going to hand out garbage.

Super friendly service all the time. I say if you work locally between College Ave and Emerald, this is a great spot for lunch. they have a few tables inside as well as outside.

There was another hair on the lemon wedge that was old. We had the Scoglio - spaghetti with muscles around the plate and a pizza. We told the waitress that the muscles tasted old. She went to the kitchen and it took her 5 minutes to come back out. The other 2 people in the restaurant had finished eating. It took her a long time to come back out to tell us that the muscles were in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. Who knows how long in the refrigerator? My friend got food poisoning from it. Kept throwing up and slept for the rest of the day. Still felt woozy the next morning. We called the restaurant and the gal took our name and number down and said the manager will call us. To this date we have not received a call. I guess it's time to call the San Diego Health Department? The pizza was good but too expensive!

Walked into a busy, hot and crowded room that smelt like absolute dough heaven. I've been trying my best to cut out gluten and cheese from my diet and saw online that they had vegan pizza! To my surprise they had a whole vegan menu...amazing. I also ordered one of their many non-alcoholic options- a Riesling wine, really hit the spot. I had a lovely server who took the time out of very busy wave (not to mention only 2 people on the floor) to describe the whole menu to me, he was very kind and attentive. The pizza shown in the picture is a vegan BBQ smoke show, with their authentic Italian flour dough- although not gluten free (I'm not a fan of cauliflower dough) i left not feeling 'sick' or bloated. I was beyond happy that the pizza wasn't lacking in flavor or looks, very well done. If i could have devoured my pizza in one sitting i would have, but i had to bring it home. The space was hot and muggy but sometimes that's where a lotttt of magic happens! First impression was a hit, will definitely be back to test it out again!

From the customer service, food, ambience, etc, the entire experience was a 20 out of 10. I specifically want to highlight a few people who made this event more than just memorable. Gwen, as the event coordinator for Ciao, was very communicative and hands-on from start to finish. From the staff who helped answer all our questions to everyone who worked the event, I am so grateful for your professionalism and support in making the event amazing. If you ever choose this place for one of your events, you will not regret it. I'm just mad that I've been in the local area for too many years and only discovered this restaurant less than two months ago. After having lunch there, I decided to ask if we could host my husband's party. I was then escorted to the ballroom, and the decision was made without question. After the event, I have absolutely no regrets! Highly highly recommend. Even if you don't have an event, the food is authentic Italian. My next plan is to visit Italy after engaging with our new friends from Ciao!!

I've been to Dominic's Italian Restaurant in Oceanside a few times now, and it's always been a…read moresolid experience. The biggest highlight is the freshness of the food. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. We ordered the calamari, and it was fantastic, especially with the dipping sauce. The homemade breadsticks were fresh, although I definitely recommend getting a side of marinara since they're a little plain on their own. We also ordered the meat ravioli and pasta with meatballs to go, and both were delicious. For pizza, we had the 12-inch Meat Lover's. The toppings and ingredients were fresh, but the crust wasn't quite what I expected. I wish I had taken a picture of the underside because it lacked that crispy, well-baked texture I usually look for. That said, it was still a good pizza and was the perfect size to share with my 12-year-old son. The restaurant itself was very clean, both inside and on the patio. We chose to eat outside since it was a hot day, and the harbor views gave the place a relaxing, old-school 90s coastal vibe. Parking around the harbor can be a challenge, and the shared public restrooms definitely show their age. Service was just okay during this visit. Nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. The owner has always been incredibly friendly, though. On a previous visit, he even surprised my kids with free desserts, which was a really nice touch. Like many places around the harbor, prices seem a bit higher because of the tourist location. Even so, the quality of the food keeps bringing us back. This was my third or fourth visit, and while there isn't one thing that absolutely blows me away, it's consistently good Italian food in Oceanside. I'd definitely recommend giving Dominic's a try if you're looking for fresh food in a great harbor setting. 4.5/5
