The best Pizza I have ever had in the San Marcos area. A bit pricey but worth it. I thought the 18" would be too small for the family but the pie was HUGE! Please go to support our local businesses. read more

I stopped by Pizza Bar in San Marcos for lunch and had a really good experience. It's located in the busy shopping center with Ralphs across from Cal State San Marcos, so there's plenty of parking even though the lot stays pretty busy. The restaurant has an industrial vibe with a large bar area, a smaller dining room, and big bright windows that make it feel open and inviting. We came during the lunch rush on a week day, but the line moved quickly and we had no trouble finding a table. I tried the new chicken parmesan sandwich, and it was so good! It was filling and came with a bag of chips, which made for a satisfying lunch. I also ordered a Caesar salad. It was just okay overall, but I really liked the dressing, and they were generous with the Parmesan cheese. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Next time I'll probably skip the salad and try one of their pizzas instead. read more

This was one of my favorite spots when I lived closer. Recently I had to take my partner for a procedure at the hospital nearby and enjoyed some Pizzabar happy hour while I waited. Staff was super friendly just like before. I was happy with my slices. Will always return to this place when I can. I got slices of the Hawaiian and hot honey pepperoni and the only thing I would change is I couldn't really taste any honey. I also got the meatballs to go for my partner and, especially after a 24 hour fast, he loved them. read more

Another shout-out to the awesome staff here. Every single employee every time I've come here has been super nice and helpful. This is also my favorite spot to come with a group for beer (& cider & kombucha!) and pizza. Great selection on tap and in cans, and very legit thin-crust pizza. Chill patio, which you can call ahead to reserve for a group. Plus their warm chocolate chip cookies are the bomb. Thanks for letting us close the place down tonight, Kaylee (sp?) & the crew! read more

I had such a positive experience at Pizza Bar. The hot honey pizza was amazing. Ranch is good too! As a chocolate cookie girl, I don't recommend it BUT only $8 for a slice and a cookie. Very affordable for college students, Inside was sparkly clean. I was surprised by how lively it was inside. Could definitely celebrate something here. Outside seating is awesome for pet owners, bring your dog and stay outside. I was helped by the sweetest girl with curly brown hair, with the coolest gel nails, and a red headband. Everyone was super attentive and welcoming. Everyone who was working when I went had awesome customer service. I went around 5-7pm on a Monday night. It wasn't busy, but had a steady amount of customers. Really surprised and happy with my experience. read more

Usually pretty fond of this place, I appreciate the mellowness and the food is good. There's always a nicely designed chalkboard out front that helps fill me in on specials and sometimes has unique art. Today, walking in I was met with a GLARING red menu above the ordering stand, completely contrasted from the rest of the restaurant. Stuck out like a sore thumb. Then, upon further inspection, noticed that all the art used was AI-generated, extremely low effort and none of the food looked appetizing, nor did it match the items served visually. Attached I have photos of my least favorite additions. The menu before was simple and concise, my only critique would be a lack of pictures, but that may just be my personal tastes. And I know I would prefer 0 pictures over lazy, nauseating, and poor AI generated photos. Probably going to avoid this place for a while, very disappointed. read more

Mmm... who doesn't love pizza?! Well, this spot in San Marcos is definitely for the pizza lovers out there! It's got that classic old school pizzeria vibe, but with a modern twist, a hip bar area featuring tons of local beers on tap and a big screen TV playing all the games. Perfect for a chill night out or watching your favorite team. The pizza? YUM! Thin crust (my personal fave), crispy and flavorful. I tried the pepperoni and the BBQ chicken, both were absolutely delicious. The BBQ had just the right amount of tang and sweetness. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't regret it! read more

I really enjoy pizza bar. It's a great spot and the pizza is pretty good. My only qualm is that it's pretty pricey. Obviously the quality is better than something like Domino's, but it's a pretty hefty price for pizza. read more

Okay look, the pizza is actually decent here. But I went in one day and saw the menu and saw it was AI-generated. There are some food items on the menu that look like Alien eggs. I lost my appetite and left instead of ordering. Very uncanny. read more

Good pizza with a sports bar vibe. It took about 20 minutes for our pie to come out which was pretty good. The pizza is thin and slightly crispy, we ordered a margarita pizza with added red sauce and pepperoni. The college aged staff was attentive and helpful. We will be back to try slices. read more

Great spot. The pizza is tasty and fresh, solid beer selection and the staff are always nothing but friendly and helpful.

Wow! I don't say this lightly, but this place is in a tie with Bonjournos for best pizza in North County. The crust is perfection- thin, crispy and just the right amount of chewiness. We tried several different slices: Buffalo chicken, Bbq Chicken, pepperoni with hot honey and Hawaiian. We couldn't pick a favorite- they were all amazing! We found the staff to be very sweet and helpful. The restaurant interior was clean, bright and spacious and would work well for large parties. They had a very large selection of beers on tap that will will be sure to try next time. read more

Absolutely delicious thin crust style pizza, and wonderful beer. What more is there to say great ambience sports screens, and very friendly staff who really care whether you have a good time and are enjoying yourself I will definitely be back. This place is unbelievably great.!!! read more

I really enjoy their thin pizza style and the options. Best is to come when they have their slices deals or their bogo pizzas. We have always had great service and great pizza! read more

Solidly good thin crust pizza, great breadsticks. Easy ordering and pickup experience. Would eat here again!

This is a great place! Food has always been amazing, wedge salad, wings and the Italian sandwich are the bomb. And oh yeah, pizza is awesome as well. read more

Good pizza at great price. Their salads are also very good. Try it you won't be disappointed.

Pizza was great , service was fast nice staff . Maybe a few more toppings that's the only thing they are fresh so I guess you want more of them ! read more

Tried this place since it had decent reviews but after trying their food, not sure I had the same food as all these other people giving 3-4 stars. I ordered 12 pieces of chicken wings and 18" of mixed meat and veggie pizza. I struggled to finish the first and last slice. It tasted like food that was in the freezer for too long but not sure if it was the pizza crust or the veggies or both that this freezer taste was coming from. The chicken wings were just too dry. Soggy on the outside and dry/brittle/tasteless meat on the inside. I tried 2 pieces and though I'm still pretty hungry, I can't bring myself to have more of this. read more

Pros and cons.... We have loved Pizza Bar for a quick dinner and we also really enjoy the fact that they do 2Good2Go (an app that allows you to pick up restaurant leftovers at close for very very discounted prices!) but there are a few things that make it a little bit less of a fav for us. First of all, the prices for single slices are absolutely ridiculous. $4 for one slice of pizza is just wild for the quality. Second, the staff and cleanliness is really not the greatest. For example, the last time we were there - It was about 45 mins before close and we were picking up a few slices for dinner. The little signs that say which pizza is which were missing and we were having trouble deciding, so the young lady at the register came over and told us the names of each pizza. The only problem with that, is that she stuck the entire tip of her finger into each slice she pointed to. Carrying sauce and all to the next pizza. I was shocked. I seriously couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had been on register handling cash and such too and hadn't even washed her hands before she decided to stick them right onto at least one slice of each of the pizzas! I can only imagine what she does when no one is looking?? She was very nice, just a tremendous lack of training or knowledge or manners or something. I'm hesitant about going back after that. read more

Bummed to write this because as you can see in my past review, this place had previously been great with customer service. Went to order online for PICK UP this evening (with hours advance notice because it is Halloween), and their ordering site says there's an automatic 20% gratuity added because it's Halloween and there's extra staff. Would have cost me $70 to PICK UP 2 pizzas. Could i possibly understand and auto grat on delivery on a holiday, mayyyybe. But to come pick up my pizza in a box and leave with it, because it's Halloween? This may be the weirdest business practice I have heard, and I am going to guess mine is not the only order they lost tonight. It's too bad because their pizza is good! read more

Their pizza is fantastic but their staff is even better. Every time we call to order I hang up with the same comment, "they are just so nice!" Thank you for providing genuine service with tasty food. Our favorites have been their margarita pizza and pepperoni and pineapple pizza. read more

Our favorite spot in San Marcos! We go for dinner, Sunday Funday, to watch games, or bring our kids' sports teams. Service is amazing from Mikol and team, and Zach is great behind the bar! read more

Pizzabar had a great happy hour and was a convenient place to meet up with a large group.

Pizza was bomb. But the service wasn't. The bartender today sucked. It legit took me 20mins to get her attention to ask for a napkin. For starters, who doesn't automatically give a napkin when serving food? The worst part is, I watched her go down the line and ask everyone if they needed anything, but then stopped right before she got to me. Sorry I'm not white or a male I guess. read more

Pizza bar has been a staple in the family ever since it opened. I go here regularly for their lunch specials and order whole pizza pies on the weekend when we have family over. It's always been friendly service and good food. However I have to say lately the toppings on their pizzas have been minimal. I posted an example of the recent order I got. The pesto and mushroom slice has been my all time favorite. I almost always order it as one of the slices in the two slice combo. Normally the pizza would be topped with mushrooms with several dollops of whipped goat cheese. The last slice I got barely had any mushrooms and two sad little squirts of goat cheese. :( I know ingredients are expensive, but this is just sad. read more

Wow! If you like Best Pizza & Brew you're going to really like this place. Similar concept, but the thin crust pizza may be slightly better here. Maybe a tiny less salty? Not sure. Wife and I both had #4 combos: slice, 1/2 salad and a beer for $14. Perfect dinner. I love the Buffalo Chicken pizza at Pitchers in PQ, which has bacon, but the version here may be the best in SD. The slice was pretty good-sized, too. "Half" chopped salad still seemed endless. Liked it all, but wished for a few Garbanzo beans. Wife loved her impressive Wedge salad. The ingredients here indicate high quality: ricotta, blue cheese, artichoke hearts. Super easy parking right out front. Ambience was just right- music was in there, but in the background so you can still talk. Several sports TVs. Service was quick, pleasant and attentive. Even the bathrooms are nice. I'm a little hard to please, but I wouldn't change a thing here! read more

PizzaBar - BBQ chicken and Pesto Mushroom - Beer Bar Near Me - San Marcos, California

This concept is exactly what this area needs. Would be great for quick lunch too. NY style pizza by the slice or whole pie. Cool Bar vibe, family friendly and cool casual convenient location. Decent wine offering and good beers. Food is the star. Love being able to watch sport, drink wine and just order slices as I want. Wings are perfectly cooked too with a delicious sauce. The crust on the pizza is super thin and crunchy, just how I like it. Better than pizza port and just different concept. Did a meat lovers and the bar tender and my friend recommended the pesto mushroom, which I'm kind of against not having protein in a slice but did not miss it. The pesto sauce was really pronounced. You can taste the scratch made in everything. Will be coming back and taking people. I'd definitely recommend it. Thank you!! read more

Ordered two pies: 1) cauliflower crust buffalo chicken pizza, everyone loved it. Was the perfect balance of flavors and the heat was just right. 2) 1/2 Hawaiian and 1/2 supreme. Both were delicious. Both pies were perfectly thin crusts. Also got a house salad that had plenty of topping that included artichoke hearts. This was our first time ordering and won't be our last. And did I mention we live in Oceanside a good 20-30 minutes away. read more

Best pizza in town. Great service, beer and atmosphere. Pick up a slice or a whole pie, you can't go wrong with PizzaBar.

We hadn't been here in a while and decided to stop in. We noticed they had a special of 6 beers at $6 (Thursday special). When we asked the bartender which beerz were on special, at first she said none and acted as if she had no idea what we were talking about. After many minutes of back and forth and encouraging her to look at the blackboard, she went into the computer and said there was one beer for $6. I emphasized again that the special said 6 beers. Her reply was that it hadn't been updated. We both ordered a beer and asked about lunch specials which she also told us incorrect information. We paid for our beers and left. We won't be back. We hope the owner looks into this employee's bizarre behavior and could care less attitude. read more

PizzaBar - Cali Creamin is always a great choice. - Beer Bar Near Me - San Marcos, California

The pizza is ok. But I consider myself a high critic with pizza since it's one of my tops favorite foods... the pizza is cold when they give it to you.. I know this is a certain style (thin NY) but I just wasn't fond of the crust.. didn't have flavor and it was tough. I do like that they have a happy hour menu.. it had just ended when we arrived..but we still got one of their all day deals, which was two slices and a drink for 10$ ...not bad. The restaurant is clean, and so are the bathrooms, so that is always appreciated. read more

I moved to San Marcos about 2 years ago and it's been me and my boyfriend's favorite spot from the beginning. They have the best staff and are very consistent with their pizza. It's a New York style pizza and it's sooooo good! INCREDIBLE ambiance as well!!! read more

Flippin' Pizza used to be in this spot. It had its fans. I wasn't one of them. I don't know why but I had low expectations for PizzaBar. But I was very pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The place is far more spacious than you might think from the outside. They also have an absolutely beautiful bar inside with four TVs for your sports needs. The decor and color scheme inside is very cool and sleek, too. By the way, their draft beer menu is terrific. I'd say there were at least 16 choices, most of them local and high quality. How's the pizza? Really, really good. It's a little thicker than traditional New York style pizza and I'm not complaining. My slices were very fresh and delicious. Speaking of which, I will support just about any place that sells pizza by the slice. There were eight options during my visit. I sampled the Buffalo Chicken (very good), Meat Lovers (even better) and the BBQ Chicken (excellent). My only knock? It's pricey. Four bucks a slice is pricey. Worth it? I'd say yes. I was very impressed. read more
