    Happy hour menu
    Just M.

    So good today. Personal margarita pizza for $6. Margaritas for $6. Pulled pork and fries $8. Bruschetta $8. Great happy hour menu.

    I attended a holiday party here. They have a large private room available. We were provided excellent service. We had about 30 people in the group. We had enough room to move around and mingle. Room for packages. Able to make noise without bothering other restaurant guests. Each person was able to order what they wanted and pay individually. This was a big plus! The food was also very good and I heard no complaints. Everyone was served correctly and timely. I highly recommend this location for a party.

    Southern Combo with a side of hush puppies
    Jennifer M.

    Deffinitly one of he best BBQ places I've been to in North County. I tried all the meats and my favorite was the tri tip and pulled pork. The hush puppies tho! I could eat those everyday!!!!! We came in with a large group and our waiter was very attentive an our food came out fast. I would recommend this spot!

    This is definitely my husband's favorite barbecue restaurant. We love the vibe in there. We love the beers and the barbecue sauce and the appetizers and the serving size is so huge. You'll be full for days. We highly recommend this place to all barbecue lovers.

    Spicy pineapple margarita with a tajin rim!
    Krystal R.

    Excellent service! S/O to Michelle for being efficient, friendly , and just on top of her game. I ordered a spicy pineapple margarita and I always ask for a water on the side, I didn't even have to ask.! Michelle asked right away! Loved that! The drink was delicious! I ordered 2 more! I didn't get anything to eat. Pretty decent happy hour menu for both food and drinks. Bathrooms were clean Full bar. Lots of tvs to watch your favorite sports The food smelt amazing, so I look forward to eating something next time! Thanks for the great service!

    Cobb salad, no red onions sub ranch dressing.

    Mehhh, not great, not bad. Lettuce tasted like it was soaked in water. Meat was good. Used to get this salad years ago and it was so much better and larger portion. Would order again if I was trying to cut the carbs, but wouldn't go out of my way to get this again.

    Baby Back Pork Ribs - Full Rack to-go
    James K.

    Always love me some Enzo's BBQ. I picked up my ribs to-go today so I didn't stick around. However, the vibe and the service is always good. It what you would expect from a BBQ Alehouse. Well cooked meats and a great selection of beers (if that's your thing haha). Whether it's dinner rush or early lunch, the staff is always attentive and helpful.

    Southern platter
    Vanessa C.

    Overall this place deserved a high rating my first time going. The service was incredibly fast and our server was attentive. Got the burnt ends burrito which came with fries. The burrito had cheesy rice and adobo sauce inside. I ordered it without pico. The fries are fried in beef tallow and were good to put inside the burrito. The margarita was very well done too. Hush puppies were served with syrup which actually works for them. The place was huge and had tons of people inside which was a good sign. Smelled like BBQ when you walk in which I was happy about. We sat outside which was also enjoyable. Would definitely like to return for the happy hour!

    Spaghetti and meatballs
    Kristina C.

    Have been dining at Enzo's for quite a few years now, even before he moved to his current location so I have no idea why I haven't written a review before now. I'm a slacker I guess. Always greeted by friendly staff, service is quick from beginning to end and the place overall is always well kept. Tables cleaned quickly. They offer quite a bit of seating both indoors and outdoors in their covered patio. I've tried many of the menu items over the years and found them to be very tasty. This particular visit I went with the 10-inch BBQ pizza with pulled pork. It was good but I think next time I'll go back to the pulled chicken that I had before. It just gave it a different taste but as I said, the pulled pork was still good just didn't have the zing for me. My dining partner chose the spaghetti and meatballs dish. She said it was really good and the sauce was excellent. Something she'd get again if she feels like a pasta dish. We'll continue to dine here and if you haven't been here yourself you should give it a try if you're in the area.

    Hey Lenzo! When is Encinitas finally going to open? We need nourishment!

    Encinitas is not open yet??? What are they waiting for? Maybe Enzo retired. Herro

    When are they opening in Encinitas?

    Where is Enzo??? Summer is over time to get back to work.

    Curious question. Being that the owner is from Italy I was just curious if he uses "00 four" for his pizza dough? We are gluten sensitive not necessarily gluten free.

    Hi Sarah, I would just call Enzo's BBQ phone number and ask the owner your question and he should be able to tell you if he uses 00 Four for his Pizza Dough.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes, they are in the large enclosed patio. Which by the way is quite nice and being I have a well trained bernedoodle puppy, she is quite at home there. People who that don't bring there trained dogs to eating establishments that have the facilities… Read more

    Saw a sign out front that mentioned pizza by the slice, but I don't see it listed on the website. Does anybody know the type of pizza and the price? Thank you.

    DIfferent selections that are ready to be cooked. Last time I was there it was $8 and it was more like a "mini" pizza than a slice. The price was fair.

    5/5 for Best Pizza and Brew -- easily one of the best spots for a slice in town…read more The pizza here is consistently great. I'm a big fan of their white pies and anything with a balsamic drizzle, and the margherita is always a safe win. The Caesar salad pairs perfectly, and the garlic knots... honestly addictive. Only downside there is you'll wish you had more--4 doesn't feel like enough for how fast they disappear. The staff is a younger, upbeat crew and always helpful when you interact with them--just a heads up, it can be tough to flag someone down when they're moving around. Best move is to go straight to the counter if you need something. The vibe is lively and modern--definitely more of a "happening" bar/restaurant energy. Plenty of seating, a great outdoor area, and a big firepit that makes it a solid hang spot. Only knock is occasional construction outside lately, but it hasn't stopped me from coming back. Value-wise, their combos are actually really solid and make for a great meal. This is one of those places I go to regularly, and it holds up every time. Best for: pretty much any occasion--just expect it to get loud during peak hours, and show up early if you want to avoid a line out the door. Compared to other artisan pizza spots around here, this one beats most. There are maybe one or two that edge it out slightly, but this is firmly in the top tier. Favorites: White pizza, margherita, balsamic drizzle pies, Caesar salad, and (of course) the garlic knots.

On a previous visit a couple of months ago, I requested medium and my burger was very well-done. It was still good, and I'm not a guy who sends his food back. Tonight I let the person at the register taking my order about last time, and to let the chef know that I would really like the burgers medium this time. Burgers arrived well done again. I mean, if that's store policy like In-N-Out is now, I get it, but let me know that. The truffle fries and regular fries that came with the other burger were fantastic as always. I wish I didn't have to go back to the register to pick up salt packets but that's not a big deal really. I let the young lady at the register know that the burgers were well done, again. . . She apologized and I just told her that it was ok. I'm not making anyone cook me a new burger. Once again, still good. Just not what I asked for. I also ordered a beer and the person at the register gave me the number placard and told me that she would bring my beer out. After seeing it set at the bar where the drinks come out for a few minutes, I just went and picked it up. The young man who brought our food seemed more interested in talking to the female employees than checking on customers, but I was 20 years old once too. We did get there kind of late and left a little after closing time. Everyone was busy checking their phones. . . We'll be back. Pizza is always great. Burgers are usually surprisingly excellent for a Pizza place too. I just wish everyone was a bit more on point.

We called in our next order at 115pm and by 150pm our pizza slices (which are already made) were being held back waiting for our fish and chips that looked really good, it's why I came back. Butby 150pm the food was still not ready, I think they forgot to make the food. Then I asked u know what let's cancel the fish and chips and I'll just take the slices. Took an extra 8mins to get the refund. They were like u still want the food? I didn't know if they were messing with me or not so I said no. Food looks great, I just had an impatient kid with me and a cook who took 40+mins to make phone ordered fish and chips. I think I heard the hostess put in the order after she placed the slices in the box, I heard her remention my order and I asked if it was done, she said No, she was just asking the cook for the status after I had already waited for I wanna say 4 ppl to order then my order was rechecked and still not ready.

So my friend Nanci and I turned to Yelp for help. She had been to this location before and I frequent the Vista tavern and grill (mainly when Jimmy Paton is playing) with my family. Knowing that this one wasn't a restaurant we looked up on their calendar and excitedly saw that the Oishi sushi fusion pop up would be here. I've had them elsewhere several times and am a fan of them! AND we also saw that they have live music on Friday nights too! Oh yeah! This day the music was by Kimmi Bitter duo with Willis Farnsworth. I love the 60/70's vibe that they've got going on! Definitely a fun FriYay night out with our favorite of things ie Grub, drink AND what felt like a VIP live music show! I loved the open floor plan especially because after that fun workout prior I was able to cool down with the fresh air. Cuz I was one sweaty Betty, Ha! We noticed that they have BINGO on Thursdays and so the pre-planning of my 50th birthday spinning wheels in my head began! How perfect that my actual birthday fell on the same day as a bingo night. Spinning Meats Mediterranean pop up would be there. Rain or Shine. You see it's usually very hard to plan an actual birthday event for my birthday because it's so close to the hustle bustle of the Holidays. It also likes to be a rainy day. We lucked out here! I called and spoke to Ashley (forgive if I got the name wrong but that's what this old brain remembers). about making reservations and she informed me that it really is a free-for-all/first come basis as far as the table seating goes. But she did reserve one high communal table for me, RSVP for a half an hour prior to the first BINGO game. That worked out perfectly as my event was more casual and my friends would be trickling in and out during the evening. Several of my guests that attended my event are fellow YELPers too and we are always recommending our favorite places with one another. The entire venue felt like it was my own as we befriended strangers and shared other tables, luv and laughs all around & even shared my cake with them too. I was having surgery just days after this event so I only had one seltzer drink and it was good. I love that it didn't have fake dye coloring in it. My friends loved the place, their brews, and I loved their presence! Thank you BBB~O'side crew. You were amazing! Tho a bit bummed that no one out of my group won a bingo game but one guy won twice!?! How!?! Scratches head. We had a great time and truly am looking forward to my/our next experience here!
