Favorite ice cream place in Oceanside. I personally liked it better than Handel's, although I can't pinpoint why. More subtle flavors and less sweet I think. Located right next to the pier / beach. A must visit in Oceanside.

Caramelized Honey

I love Mariposa Ice Cream! Their ice cream is creamy and flavorful, and they have classic flavors (e.g., chocolate and vanilla) but my favorites are their seasonal flavors. For fall my favorite is their pumpkin ice cream, it's probably the BEST I've ever had! In the spring it's their caramelized honey, it's so perfect. It's not too sweet and not subtle, you can really taste the honey and it oh so yummy!! Plus the owners are so nice and I love that you can find them at the beach or at local farmers markets.

Small locally owned ice cream stand located just below the pier. Having tried several flavors, white chocolate raspberry is my current favorite. And don't forget the homemade waffle cones!! This really is a must stop if you are walking the beach in Oceanside. Friendly service and very generous on the scoops size as well, which is always appreciated. Thank you Mariposa Ice cream !!

Skweezrz New York Italian Ices

So, whaddaya do in Oceanside (aka: "O'side", to me at least), after a nice lunch with a Yelp Friend…read moreyou met in person for the first time? Ya knock around on the O'side Beach, making your way slowly toward the famous Oceanside Pier, THAT'S what ya do. I absolutely love The O'side Pier, and try to make time for a trip there, anytime I'm in Escondido. It doesn't make it more difficult that it's the closest place to get to the Pacific, driving from E-town. Google up The Oceanside Pier; it's got quite a history. Ya know how they say: "There's always room for Jell-o"? Well, the same could be said for Italian Ice. Similar to Ice Cream, it contains NO Dairy (in case you're lactose-intolerant), and is simply DELICIOUS! You're not "delicious-intolerant", are ya? Which brings me to Skweezrz New York Italian Ices. "Italian Ice Joe" is set up right at the base of the ramp you walk up, to get onto The Pier itself. Great location; even greater fare. Joe's a really cool guy; I hung around long enough to see how great and easy he is with people of all kinds, be it kids, surfers, the ladies, or that annoying guy that talks your ear off, and just won't LEAVE (uh, that'd be...me). He offers every passer-by a free sample, and I warn ya; if you sample, you WILL buy! Of course, Joe offered me a "free one" (no not "that" kind). Sadly, he was out of my favorite fruit flavor (Cherry), so I had to "settle" for Strawberry; it sure didn't feel like settling. I may eat more Ice Cream than Italian Ice (as a general rule), but I really don't know why. The flavor was AMAZING! Couple that with the fact that it's gotta be lower in calories (something I could do with less of), and has a MUCH fresher finish. Compared to Ice Cream (or even frozen Yogurt), it's a way healthier choice. And it seems to quench your thirst, at the same time it's soothing your mouth with sweet, fruity coolness. Joe's got every flavor under the Sun (tho there was no Sun itself today); all the expected fruits, plus a chocolate flavor Joe sez tastes just like a Tootsie Roll. Or if ya can't decide, have him mix ya up a "Rainbow"; I can't remember if that's what he called it, but you get the idea (I posted a pic of one). Joe's got 'em ALL! It's NOT just getting a cup of frozen stuff; no, it's a whole "experience", it really is. The cool Italian Ice will soothe your mouth and cleanse your palette, and Joe's perpetual good mood is infectious. If you don't leave with a lighter spirit just by hangin' around the guy, you're a lost cause. The Italian Ice will cost ya (tho not very much at all); the uplifting spirit is FREE. If you're in Oceanside, you gotta take a trip to the O'side Pier. Take a walk all the way to the end and have a chat with the Pelicans, but don't get too close (they WILL attack, and I'm not kidding). And above all else, ya GOTTA stop by Skweezrz New York Italian Ice cart, say hi to Joe, and have a cup of frozen cheer. Tell him Larry sent ya! larrythediner .

This is probably THE BEST Italian ice cream place I've tried! They are located on the Oceanside…read moreBoardwalk/Strand right below the pier in front of The Tin Fish a great seafood joint! You cannot drive to this location, but there is tons of parking and you can walk the boardwalk and enjoy some Italian refreshing ice! Their Italian rainbow (cherry, lime, lemon), blueberry, coconut and mango ate all flavors I've tried or sampled and all taste DELICIOUS! Went yesterday and they had something new! Diablito Rica for just $5 and that includes; 3 scoops of mango ice, chamoy, tajin and a tamarindo stick, it was happiness in my mouth! I opted out one scoop of mango for Italian rainbow ice. They didn't skimp on the tajin and chamoy either and you can add the extras to any scoop(s) of Italian ice, if you don't like mango. If you ever find yourself in Oceanside on a hot day and are looking for a refreshing treat, try this place, I promise you won't be disappointed! They are super friendly and their samples are very generous! Enjoy!

It was my first time trying Odie's Pizza. Although I had it delivered for takeout, it was perfect!…read moreEverything ordered was top notch quality and delicious! The food was delivered on time , hot as promised, and the driver was pleasant too. The Bennie and the Jets Pizza was my favorite. The Whipped Burrata came in a container on the side so that it wasn't melted. Very nice! My fear was that the Hot Honey would be too spicy. Not at all, the Hot Honey was a perfect compliment to the Sopressata. Also, the sourdough crust was very flavorful and had a perfect texture. The Basil was super fresh too. I don't really care for Chicken Wings, but I ordered them to try. The Wings with a BBQ Dry Rub were delicious and crispy. Not greasy. The Ranch Dill dressing ( tasted freshly prepared, unlike bottled) was a perfect accompaniment to the Wings. Cesar salad was great too, as the Romaine was super fresh and crispy. I will definitely order again for takeout, and look forward to perhaps stopping by sometime for a slice! Odie's Pizza was a great find!

My regular pizza place has been 'temporarily closed' for some time now, and that really sucks. So…read morelately, we have been trying to find a new, Friday-night pizza delivery place. We tried Odies. We ordered the NY 16" 'Welcome to Paradise' add Sausage to 1/2... $38.47. While we liked the crust very much, there were a few other problems with the pizza. The sauce is too sweet for our tastes; I wanted the sausage on my half, but turns out, I just don't care for their sausage brand's taste or type. Strangely, I got charged for 'bacon 1/2', but never ordered bacon or even tasted it on there at all. It was an okay pizza. Probably won't get it again.
