Pitfire Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Amanda was the best, service was spot on. But we loved the best was her personality and friendliness. We shared stories all night. Oh and the pizza and salad was off the charts. Definitely go for the full pour. read more

Always so good! Pizza and salads were delicious and the beer is cold! Patio seating was perfect as well.

Food was amazing! Tony was our wonderful server and was so kind and helpful. The service was so fast. The environment is very nice and I love how the restaurant is laid out read more

Open and spacious restaurant. Their bar is located in the middle and the staff is super friendly here. Heard a lot of great things about Pitfire Pizza and was looking forward to trying them and they did not disappoint. For appetizers we ordered the Meatballs, Kale Salad, Garlic Knots, and Baked Mac N Cheese. We tried the Honey Bee and Margherita. The Margherita is vegan made with cashew cheese. The pizzas are sourdough crust and so good. Mac N Cheese was super cheesy and loved the crisp top. Meatballs were a great dish served with ricotta cheese and bread. They're a great place for kids or get together with friends. read more

Went at 3pm on a Monday and it was nice and empty, only a few other patrons. Honey Bear was good but needs MORE CHEESE. Way more. And a drizzle of honey on top. Burrata hit better. Gluten-free crust was yummy. First two pizzas came out quick, second two took a while because the kitchen dropped one and burned the GF one, so had to remake both. Interesting? Cocktails were fine, a little on the sweet side. I still find is sad that such a small drink can cost so much? Their menu has plenty of options. Over all, a good spot, I would come back, but not worth any kind of long line, and I would make some tweaks to the pizza to get it how I like. OH. If you like crunchy crust this is NOT for you, they keep it floppy, the kind you can fold read more

We liked this place so much that we went three times in the first three weeks of opening. Granted it's within a mile of our house but nonetheless it's a fantastic addition to the neighborhood. The food is great, the vibe is casual, and it's an easy place to go with the family. We've had the field mushroom pizza (so much umami!), the pesto chicken pizza (our least favorite - not very strong on pesto), the sausage party (great meat lovers pie), and the BBQ chicken (a bit sweet but loved by the kids). We thought the chicken and mushroom pasta was perfectly cooked and hearty. The charred brussels is a creative and delicious take on brussels + Mexican street corn. Perhaps not a suprise but our biggest complaint is how busy the place is - it was not unusual to have a wait even at 530pm on a weekday night. read more

Jonas took amazing care of us. He made our experience so special. I will be back again for sure.

Place serves over burnt dough and tries to make it up with bad drinks. If you want bad pizza and wait for it Pitfire is your joint.

Pretty good, but its just a walk up order place, so not really like a sit down place. Their drinks are ok.

I enjoyed the brick oven pizza; the dough was perfect, and the flavors blended seamlessly. The manager, Donovan, is magnificent. I ordered a pepperoni pizza with added mushrooms, and cheesy knots. read more

I would like to update my review from 1 star to 4. This morning I received a link for a $50 gift card to Pitfire Pizza with a very nice note attached to it by Cody Hopkins (I'm assuming a manager of the restaurant), who apologized for the experience and asked to give them another chance. I definitely will, and I am hoping to be able to update my review into a 5-star at that point! In the meantime, I wanted to acknowledge the professionalism of the restaurant's management team in response to critical feedback. No defensiveness or justification, or denial, or argumentativeness. That alone earns respect and trust in me as a customer. [OLD REVIEW] Wow, this left me speechless. Usually newer restaurants are known for exceptional quality, because they are still working on establishing their name and reputation, so they make an extra effort to put their best foot forward. Please take a look at the pictures, as they're supposed to be worth a thousand words. If THIS is their best, I don't want to know what their ordinary looks like. And listen, I understand that we are all human, and we're going to occasionally mess up. However, if you SEE that the food came out clearly BURNT, how are you okay packing it up and sending it to the customer?? Would THEY want to eat the food they are packaging for delivery? read more

Pitfire Pizza - I'm guessing whoever packed this somehow didn't notice that this "bread" is now essentially a piece of charcoal. - Pizza Near Me - Carlsbad, California

The food is great but they are routinely understaffed. So frustrating for how high their prices are....

No flavor!!! for some reason ALL of the bigger tomatoes have the pit still and very watery wouldn't recommend or visit again read more

Pitfire Pizza - OG HEIRLOOM TOMATO PIZZA - Pizza Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We came on a Friday evening, around 4. There was no wait and many open tables, including a large comfy booth we snagged. We were instructed to order at the bar which wasn't too busy so we had no problem or wait ordering. Food came out hot and quickly. We got the Honey Bear pizza. It was the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and really not spicy even with the chillis. I loved the creamy ricotta. We also ordered the Epic BBQ chicken. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken was a smoked pulled chicken, and it was delicious and flavorful. Then Buffalo wings were boneless and a little spicy. Not needed with the amount of pizza we got. But they were delicious nonetheless. Finally my daughter got the cheese pizza which was a good serving and hit the spot. I also appreciated their non alcoholic beer options. Will be back! read more

Such a cute place. Very open And spacious. The pizza was great. The mushroom pizza was delicious. Great menu that I can't wait to try more of. Little service delays but expected for a new restaurant working it all out. They gave us few cookies for delay. I will def go back read more

A trendy vibe of open space and decor to enjoy a full range of pizza flavors. Our double-down on the Margherita, Honey Bear, PB & J and the Burrata. My personal flav was the Honey Bear. We had all four flavors of dip enhancers that awesome. We are looking forward to return visit next time we're in the cBad area. read more

Outstanding service! Jake was our bartender yesterday, and he went above and beyond with excellent food and drink recommendations. His upbeat personality and fun energy made our visit unforgettable. We're already looking forward to our next visit! read more

This place is so awesome, definitely our new favorite pizza in North County. YUM! Service was top notch, good vibes all around especially from the bartender Amanda, my husband and I absolutely loved her. read more

I had a very good experience at this pizza place the pizza is very fresh and delicious Ivan helped us out and he was such a nice guy I wish everyone was as nice as him he knows how to treat people if I ever go down south again i will go to this pizza place read more

IVAN IS AMAZING! such good energy and always a good experience when we come here. Food is 10/10, service is 10/10. Highly recommend.

Great ambiance! I believe they recently opened but seem to have a lot of customers already. I like that some of the seating inside still feels like you're outside and is open to the outside. The pizza is great, but even their other food is amazing! I really liked the chicken meatballs and the cauliflower had a nice spice to it! Definitely will come back and try their other options. read more

The food was wonderful and the restaurant was very kid friendly. Service was great, and the vibe was fun too!

Danny 10 out of 10 great customer service & understood my needs! First time here and he made it seem like i've been here many times before! I'm not from the area but i'll definitely come back forsure! read more

3.72 stars for the pizza and service, -1 star for the $2 they want to charge for an extra-small side of ranch and the whole inedible green onions that arrived on our pizza read more

The food was great and Ivan was amazing. He was very attentive, personable, and took great care of us.

Great atmosphere and food and the bartender Jonah is awesome!!! He remembered my name and drink order even after a month!!!! Great service!!! read more

Kind of a weird place. If you are dining in, you go up to the bar to order. Everything is kind of self-service....grab your silverware, napkins, plate (if you can find one) and take a seat. The food is brought out to you. The pizza is tasty due to the fresh ingredients. You can watch them making all the pizzas if you get a booth by the giant windows that separate the kitchen from the restaurant. There is a section for open air dining which is nice on pleasant days. All in all I enjoyed the meal--although pizza is just one size which is pretty big for one person. Got a margherita with pepperoni on half. read more

Really fun spot! The restaurant is very open, and has an "indoor outdoor" sort of feel. Their pizzas taste very artisanal, and their chef creations taste great! The pizza with the honey was fab. Their drinks are great too! I got a sangria, and next on my list is to try some of the boozy slushes. I did come for lunch, and did not hit the big crowds, however I can imagine this place being a hit! It is order at the counter. There is a window where you can look into the kitchen, and it is fun seeing the chefs at work! read more

Jonas is an amazing bartender & server! The BEST! Food always good, great Happy Hour & nice selection of creative craft cocktails & wines! read more

Delicious pizza and cocktails with lots of gluten free options! Staff is friendly and quick, and we enjoy getting both takeout here or enjoying food at the bar. I love that they have some staple items as well as some items that rotate seasonally to mix things up. This place is lively and often packed and we're happy to have it right around the corner! read more

I'm impressed with bartender Jonas. He always gives great service but also work with me to create my own custom cocktails.

Amazing pizza! The management team is superb and everyone is very welcoming! Highly recommended:))

Jonas is an amazing and spectacular bar tender/waiter. The second you walk thru the door of Pitfire he makes you part of the family. Besides being attentive and accommodating, he makes you feel like you walked straight into your grandmothers home. I've never felt more warm and invited than I have with waking into Pitfire. read more

I came here with my toddler to grab a quick lunch and it was the perfect choice! We sat on the gorgeous patio with plenty of space! Thank you to Alex and Josue for the food recommendations (Pineapple Express was great) and quick service! We will be back! read more

This spot can't be missed. My hubs and I are pizza aficionados (he's Italian, I like carbs) We've already been to Pitfire twice, and it's only been open for ten minutes We know a few decent pizza places but Pit-fire is outshining the competition right now. My faves so far are the margarita and bbq chicken pies. You can also custom build your own. there are plenty of sides/salad/pasta options as well, the squash and avocado salad among my fave. But hey, it isn't just the food; this place has got a great vibe and friendly staff. Also Carryout available. We look forward to coming here more often! read more

People were nice enough, however food was not good! We ordered two pizzas one brussels sprouts and bacon and the other one was three cheese. They were two of the worst pizzas I have ever had! I mean, how do you mess up a cheese pizza?? The brussels sprout one wasn't even edible. It straight up tasted like hotdog dogs.‍just gross. The crust was paper thin therefore couldn't hold any toppings on it. Only had a short time before we had to go to a hockey game. I packed them up and took them home, thinking it was just me and my taste buds. Nope it was horrible. We will not be returning. read more

SO DAMN GOOD! We had the boneless Buffalo strips, garlic knots, honey berr pizza (asked to have sausage on only half) and cookie with ice cream. Pizza and chicken were to die for! Garlic knots and cookie were not hot enough so I didn't really enjoy them BUT the CHICKEN was so tender and flavorful and the pizza was perfect. Both the best I've ever had so who cares about a cookie lol The place is cute but VERY loud. The staff is excellent! So sweet and seem to be on top of their game. My only complaint is having to get up and order at the bar. I would much rather have a server wait on us. They do have staff going around and checking on the tables and delivering the food though. I saw a dad have to leave his kids alone at the table while he went to order. Not ideal. But not annoying enough that I wouldn't go back this week BECAUSE I AM! I took a couple of pix. Sorry we dug into the pizza before the pic. Looked too good and I couldn't wait. read more

New restaurant woes? The restaurant itself looks nice. Nice bar and tables. The food is quite good. Solid pasta and pizza. BUT service is lacking and disjointed. Signs in front say seat yourself but it's not sometimes. Bring you water to start but then you go to a soda machine to refill water jug. Very confusing. High chair wasn't put together completely. All screws loose and some missing. In summary, worth a visit but temper expectations. read more
