    Pepperoni and , jalapeño pizza
    Art V.

    We ate here by accident and let me tell you, what a delicious accident. We were walking by and the smell of this pizza is so strong, it pretty much dragged us in. We ordered to go, but the restaurant looks pretty cool and clean. The staff is great. They also listened to our requests and it was perfect. Thank you.

    Ok, the pizza would be a 4 but everything else would be a 5! The pizza options were awesome but what stood out most was the reasonable prices. Even though it's right there on the beach, we spent the LEAST on dinner for a family of 4 here than we did all week. Their specials are reasonable and the pizza was pretty darn good. Also, love a place that offers free refills. Makes the dollar go a little farther. It's a tight fit and small place, but I'd go there any day I was hungry at the beach. Service was good. Food was good. Prices great!

    Correct order

    Update on this: I had called a few days ago about the refund and the gentleman who answered said they didn't have any record of one. I filed a chargeback with my card at this point to get the refund. Today, Andres, the store owner, called me to chat about the experience. He was very apologetic, understanding, and said they wouldn't fight the chargeback and would also credit my account as well for a future order. I appreciate so much that he took the time to listen and understand what occurred and apologized as well. It truly was an unfortunate experience as we love this place so much! I hope they get it all sorted out & we'll be back again soon.

    We love this place!! They have a 2 slices + drink deal for $11.50 that we always get. They have a good amount of seating but it can get full fast! It's order at the register and then they bring the food to you!! If there is no seating inside then grade your food and walk to the beach! You can't beat the location

    KO pepp so good!

    The pizza speaks for itself. K O is the local spot for any slice of your choosing and a cold beer. Go! Perfect way to end an amazing year or start the new one.

    White stone, Cheese slice, Garlic knots

    I've been coming to Knockout for more than a decade since my days at Carlsbad High! I was happy to make my way back to this nostalgic spot and have pizza that was just as good as I remember it. This is a snug restaurant with a locals only feel, tucked right by Carlsbad Pipelines and a direct shot to the beach. This pizza hits like no other after a long day in the sun/ocean. The garlic knots are delish and the classic pepperoni and white stone slices are my favorite.

    The parking is tough, unless you're one of the many riding a bike. The prices are good, considering its location, and the thin crust is a marvel... especially if you've ever tried making your own from scratch, and just cant get it right, either its too thick or you stretch holes in dough you've been coddling for a week and the emotion wells up inside you as you raised clenched fists upwards and bellow "Noooooooooo!" through a grimacing face. Their flavor options are good, and you can buy by the slice

    Late-Night Lifesaver! We're staying at a nearby resort for 4th of July weekend and after hours of late-night swimming in the pool, we were craving pizza. We originally tried another place, but they wouldn't deliver an hour before closing -- thankfully, Knockout Pizza came through! They're open until 11pm and had no problem taking our late-night order. The delivery was quick, the service was friendly, and the pizza hit the spot. Crispy crust, great flavor, and still hot when it arrived. Thank you for saving our night and feeding our pool-hungry crew!

    BBQ CHICKEN & PBG SLICES
    Hayley E.

    It's a thin crispy pizza, not the greatest ever but good for by the slice pizza! There are lots of pizzas to choose from for your slice or you can opt to order a large pizza. The large pizzas are definitely better than the by the slice option as they are fresher. The white sparrow was good, but I wish it had a little more flavor. We loved the BBQ Chicken. The PBG wasn't anything special. The service was fast! The restaurant was packed too which made it more impressive. It's a small spot, but we didn't have trouble finding a seat!

    Whitestone Pizza (White) and Tomato Basil Garlic Pizza (White)
    Fumie W.

    ohboy! classic pizza spot in Carlsbad. will be my go to spot after a beach day. they have great thin crust pizza, i recommend either the white stone or tomato basil garlic .. i think it came out to $5 per slice. they do have a deal all year long on every 20th day of the month pizzas are 20% off

    a slice of knockout

    Background On Visit: We were on a mission to find the sea wall. While we were searching the wall, we smelled a lovely pizza aroma and decided to visit the shop. Ambiance/Decor: It's a relatively small shop with 9-10 wooden tables Service: Service was great! The staffers very friendly and provided great service. After placing our order, I saw a sign up front that said that there was a two slice + drink deal for $11.99. I went up to a staffer and told her that I wanted to pay the difference to get a drink. The staffer happily gave me the soda and didn't ask me to compensate for it. Pizza Slice Of Choice: We ended up getting the Knockout. It consisted of Pepperoni, Meatball, Mushroom, and Garlic. The pizza was very tasty and the ingredients was very fresh, but wished they added more garlic. After eating the slice, we were kicking ourselves that we should've a bought a whole pizza instead. Knockout Pizza For Throught: Would definitely come back to this shop if we are ever in Carlsbad.

    Peperoni, olives, mushrooms and fresh garlic. Bomb!

    5 stars for the pizza & beer/wine & atmosphere 2 stars…read moresalad & wings Been going to Pizza Port for decades every time we are in Carlsbad. Always busy & popular place. Indoor and outdoor seating, handicapped accessible plus they have extra seating upstairs and now an additional patio on the side. Picnic bench style tables, not great for older parents. Dogs allowed! Pizza, beer and wine is absolutely always fantastic! Love the Roma pizza! Tons of toppings!!! Salad is typically fine but this visit it was just meh. Very simple salad with just lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, and cucumbers, but the lettuce was just okay & majority of the cucumbers were old/disgusting - look like they had been frozen or gotten cold and then uncold and then recold. Definitely should not have put those on a salad and given to a customer. Need some quality control. My son got the wings and will usually devour them, but was done after one, I tried them and so did my husband.... Would not get again, tasted super fatty. We have gotten the mozzarella sticks before and those are decent. You placed your order at the counter and then they will call your name for pick up once your food is ready and appetizers typically come out first. Separate ordering at the bar for beer and wine. Trivia night on Wednesdays 6-8 p.m.. Always busy, sometimes hard to find a table but pretty quick to get in and get out. Will for sure be back but only getting pizza and beverages.

Once I realized it was super close, I got the family together and we made a visit on a Saturday. Parking was super easy and once we walked in, suddenly realized how large the place was. So much room! And with a ton of TV's. Only issue here is the TV's appear small because the room and walls are so large. Minor problem but time to get that 100" for the Padres games. 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.
