Sourdough, clean ingredient pizza & Beer selection is great! Staff is kind and attentive, local Leucadia spot! Hands down best North county San Diego pizza place to go! Hot Honey pizza is so good! read more

My son and I love pizza, and skateboarding, so we figured we'd better try Mike McGill's place. The pizza was very good. We ordered the 14" Hot honey and the BBQ chicken pizzas. The crust on both was kind of a hand tossed /thin crust. Basically perfect with a nice crunch. The hot honey could have used a little more salami but was delicious. The BBQ chicken could have been a little heavier on the BBQ sauce, but also fantastic. Son had a Coke, I had a Hazy IPA. Service was quick and efficient at the counter. Hot honey pizza came out first and then it was quite a wait for the BBQ chicken pizza. They should come out together or very close in my opinion. Both pizzas were served hot and fresh. Service at the bar for a beer was perfect as I didn't know what I wanted but was offered a couple of sample sips which was nice. Perfect Coast Highway ambiance and prices that were reasonable considering SoCal coastal restaurants. The artwork on the walls and skateboarding vibe was present everywhere. Super cool place and we'll definitely be back. It's all about that crust! read more

My husband and I were driving around on a Sunday afternoon with no real agenda. We wound up stopping at Johnny Rad'z and we're so glad that we did. We got there around 4 PM and there was only two people in the entire restaurant. The Padres game was on. We were quickly helped at the side counter by a nice gentleman who got our pizzas for us. We each got a slice of pepperoni. I wasn't expecting greatness, just a slice of reheated pepperoni pizza. Good lord was I surprised!! Not only was the sauce perfect, just the right amount of cheese, and not too many pepperonis/too much grease, but the CRUST?! The crust is homemade sourdough. It's out of this world. The decor is funky and cool, lots of TVs, good music playlist, and my husband was very happy with the beer selection. I am only docking a star because I'd ordered the breadsticks and marinara to go, and was told there were 8 in an order - I got four. When I asked what happened to the rest, I was told "we're out of dough"? ...at a pizza place? lol. So instead of me getting a refund or maybe free slice, they gave my husband a free beer...which I can't have right now because I'm pregnant. Also...I think it was the owner?...who came in with a (adorable) German shepherd and tied him in the kitchen. We're dog people and we'd brought our dogs with us, but we sat on the patio... dogs don't belong in kitchens or behind food counters where food is being prepped... read more

Enormous calzone! (And it was the "small"). Service was prompt. Vibe was skater/ surfer/ reggae. Clean and chill space. The flavor was 7/10 for me by comparison to my favorite Calzone (pizza man Dan's). Got pepperoni w/ pepperoncini . Had ricotta too. Beer was good (sandbar blonde). Plenty of options on tap! read more

Such a rad pizza spot. Great quality meats and house made sourdough crust!! Everything we ordered was delicious. Really a fan of their crust and quality of all of their ingredients. You can order pizza by the slice or a whole pie. They have a good selection of pizzas so there's bound to be something for everyone. Interior seating is limited it there's ample seating outside with heaters above. There is also a bar seating inside. Since we were dining in, the server took our order at our table. She was sweet, friendly, and patient while we tried to figure out what to order. The raddest part of our visit was that Mike McGill was there and brought out the pizza condiments like no big deal. He was super chill and we were able to talk to him for a bit. Seems like a really solid down to earth dude. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Food: Delicious pizza, love the sourdough bread on pizza and that all ingredients are healthier, yet still delicious Service: Great, you order at register and they will drop off the food. Staff is super friendly. Ambiance: Casual and fun Noteworthy: My husband who keeps up with local skateboarding legends, and still skateboards himself, wanted to come to this pizza place because Mike McGill was a part of it. When we were eating, my husband sees him & I said, let's ask him if he'll take a picture with you. Not only did he take a picture, he told us about the restaurant, ingredients, how his family is involved and brought us some honey and ranch to try on our pizza (all delicious on pizza) and was such a nice guy! We will definitely bring our friends to try our new favorite pizza place and thank you Mike for making us feel welcome at your restaurant read more

Very cool pizza joint but didn't like the hard pizza crust. The bbq chicken pizza was tasty though. We will be back to try other options

Boomzogood!! Friends Jerome and Suki posted this place a while back. Coming from inland and looking for tasty food, we found it. The service was and is great every time. The location and vibe is very chill. Outside seating is plentiful. Before we head back inland, we treat ourselves to the best sourdough pizza in SoCal. Ask for a little ranch to dip and you MUST ask for the hot-honey to drizzle fo'shizzle!! @theBurg3erJudg3 approved:;) read more

Johnny Radz - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

Gave Johnny Radz a try today and liked it! The space has a nice open feel with bar seating and plenty of patio space. We had a half cheese and pepperoni pizza and a gluten free margarita. I also had a blackberry seltzer. They have some sandwiches additionally on the menu. My husband is from NY so he is picky about pizza and he really liked the style! My son said the pepperoni was not too spicy. The gluten-free Margherita was just OK. I prefer a Margherita with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella and this is one just had some olive oil. I think I would try a different type of pizza next time, but we will be back. I love the addition to Leucadia read more

Biggie Approved! Local Powell & Peralta skateboard legend Mike McGill has a stake in this super cool dog friendly pizza joint! We've been to Johnny Radz 3 times so far! Pizza is amazing with plenty of toppings to choose from! The crust is light and crispy! Our favorite pizzas are the Meaty pizza with fresh sliced jalapeños on half and the Sausage and Peppers pizza. Johnny Radz has a decent beer selection on draft and also offer a couple wine options. There are plenty of TV's both inside and outside the restaurant! Next time you're in Leucadia stop in and check it out! Oh and they also sell pizza by the slice! read more

Johnny Radz - Skateboards from the pros of my time - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

We got a slice of pep, a slice of hot honey, a slice of bbq chicken, a small Cesar salad, an order of meatballs, and two draft beers. One bite in we could tell this pizza was something special. The ingredients are high quality and every slice was savored. The salad dressing was light, tangy, creamy, and the lettuce was cold and crunchy. The meatballs were good - could use a little more seasoning but we would order again! Johnny Radz is clean and spacious, with seating options indoors and outdoors. The staff member who helped us explained everything well. We will be back! read more

Johnny Radz - Hawaiian pizza. If I had to rate the pizza 1-10 it would be a 7. - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

Good vibes. Not sure the sourdough crust is for me. My mom agrees but my dad disagrees. Did not take a picture of the pizza.

Omg I love this place. The cutest boys work here and 10/10 service, I had the best time with my girls. The bartender Mason was so attentive and fun, Walker also made the experience. Definitely come here if you get the chance. read more

Who is jumping up and down to pay $27 for large, thin crust, cheese pizza? Economy must be smoking for people in Leucadia and Encinitas to give 4.5 stars to a place charging $27 for a large cheese pizza or $6 for a slice. Or maybe people are just smoking something else. Add one topping and you are at $31 before tax/tip. Damn. Updating after the business replied. Being condescending gets you no where cupcake. Lived here 35 years. Just did a browsing of 6 other coastal pizza places in north county. Your large cheese base price is on average $6-7 higher. You can't even do math right. read more

The sourdough pizza is really good! Obviously tastes best when made to order. (Full pie rather than one slice). Plenty of good local beers on tap like Burgeon or Karl Strauss. Surprisingly good wine too. Everyone there has been very kind and I like that they play a variety of action sports. read more

Pizza was tasty with fresh ingredients and good beer options. Indoor & outdoor seating with friendly staff!

Hands down the best pie in North County! Been here for years and disappointed that I just discovered it. Wish they would do some more marketing so they excel. Really is a hidden gem.... Soo good. I'll never get Leucadian za, urbn, or other again. Will def be coming back. Great for kids/family as well. Nice beer selection too. Love JR! read more

This is the place to go in Leucadia. The vibe is great. The details from the pool coping footrests at the bar to the food are all designed to keep you hanging out and coming back. The staff and great and attentive. The skate culture runs deep. read more

I really wanted to like Johnny Radz, it's new, and I always try to give local spots a chance. Unfortunately, when I stopped by, I noticed several (about 5 or 6) flies inside the glass pizza display, the same one that holds the slices being served. That made it impossible for me to order any pizza, which was disappointing since that's what I came for. We mentioned the flies to the person serving us, and they just shooed them away and went on to serve the next guest. That honestly made me more uneasy since the food in the case was still being served. We decided to split a sub and a Caesar salad instead. The sandwich was okay, nothing special, and the salad didn't have any Parmesan cheese, which made it feel incomplete. I honestly wasn't going to write a review, but the sight of flies around food that's being served to customers really stuck with me. I know they just opened, and I hope this is something they address right away, maybe by enclosing the pizza display like other places do. read more

Great pizza, atmosphere and beer!! I would recommend this place to everyone. It's also dog friendly.

My first time here, so I wasn't exactly sure what to do (wait to be seated, sit down somewhere, order from the counter, etc) and despite being pretty quiet. I was left on my own to figure it out. I did & got my order in (at the counter, as it turned out). A large pizza + 1 beer set me back $41 before tax & tip, so no bargains here. Pizza was solid. I liked the crispy thin crust, while my dinner partner was not impressed. Topping we're fresh & tasty & the service improved as the meal went on. Cool vibe, fun music. Would be a good place to grab a slice after the beach. read more

This is the best pizza in San Diego, aficionado here. If you like little ceasars taste and price then this is not for you, and really the price is fine for what you get. The highest rated pizza restaurant in the world uses a naturally leavened dough, these guys follow suit. Crust is unreal, ingredients healthy (for pizza). No seed oils, a lot of organic, etc. Good beer too! Peace read more

The sourdough pizza is killer and there's always a good selection of beers on tap and everyone working is just laid back and super cool. Love it here. read more

Very pleasantly surprised at this new pizza spot. Growing up in the NY tri state area and living here for 30 years, I'm a pizza snob. Ordered a calzone, pepperoni pizza and the meatballs app and thoroughly enjoyed everything. Don't let the West Coast skater vibe deceive you, this place is legit good. read more

Went yesterday afternoon. Was greeted by a young man ( tall bark hair )behind the bar . This was the best part...of our visit. And unfortunately for us, his shift must of ended. Have been worked in hospitality for Hyatt and Sheridan for over 15 years. I know the difference between really good customer service and beyond bad customer service. The pizza was OK, but the Customer Service was one star, once a young man left who poured us our beers. No one came to the front of the bar no I mean no one we had to go around to the side to get menus to order pizza and that took forever . It's not an establishment that all ever go back to. You can have good food you can have good beer or just drinks. You can have a nice ambience which it does have inside and out. But you better figure out your Customer Service right away or you're gonna go down real quick! Good luck read more

Johnny Rad'z is literally one of the coolest lifestyle themed pizza shops on the planet! The vibe is all about friends, family, and fun. Legendary pro skateboarder Mike McGill owns and operates this place. He is often seen there working hard in the kitchen or mingling with guests. During a lunch visit recently, he was sharing with us how insanely particular he is about the quality of his ingredients. His mission is to offer as healthy and enjoyable food as possible. I got my usual pepperoni pizza - REALLY GOOD! Took some home and my son killed the rest. For a classic So Cal experience, I say everyone should try out Jonny Rad'z. You never know what skateboarding or surf legend you might end up dining with. If you like this place, support them. Small business ownership is tough, and we could quickly see how much love and attention Mike and his crew put into creating such a "RAD" experience. Can't wait to go back for some more cold beer and pizza! read more
