Good Cheap Eats!! Highly recommend the Hot Stuff Sandwiches! I absolutely love love love pizza and its pretty much my favorite fat kid food. So when you take a thin crust of pizza and make it into a sandwich??? Yup. SOLD. And definitely can't beat $2 glasses of wine even if it comes from a box. Cheap date night herewe come! One star off because it took forever for the food to come out. It was still delicious though! read more

Ok so right off the bat I MUST say, they are extremely friendly here! I just recently started working around there and I was told that upper crust pizza is an amazing place. Being myself, always wanting to try new places, decided that today is the day I go in. I walked in and was greeted with a big smile and a welcome! I ordered their lunch special that consisted of a drink, personal pizza, and a salad. They told me that it would be a 15min wait and believe me it's well worth the wait. The pizza is simply delicious. I honestly can't write how well it because it's delicious. Words can't express how I felt when I bit into the first slice. The sauce is very flavorful and amazingly mild. Some pizzeria sauces will cover the flavor of the rest of the pizza. They did a great job! All the components of the pizza work so well together. I mean they need a prize haha. The salad is amazingly great, which I thought I would never say that but they are great! The staff is very friendly and i appreciate them taking their time and asking about myself. Something that nowadays restaurants seem to forget. I highly recommend them because they are doing something VERY well with their pizza. Updated 6/28/2018 I have never been a fan of calzones because I feel they have too much dough and not enough toppings. I've tried calzones and found them to not be balanced well. Either too much dough were the fillings are buried or too greasy were, when you cut it, a river of oil just runs out. Not a fan. UNTIL I tried upper crust's calzone. When I got mine, the whole top was opened. I can see the melted, browned, delicious cheese and some of my toppings perfectly situated in it. The crust was crisp, well baked and had a nice sweetness to it. When I took my first bite, a symphony went off in my mouth. I didn't have a mouthful of dough, I had a mouthful of deliciousness. It was not greasy nor soggy nor overpowered by dough. I'm amazed at how well the calzone came together. The filling was simply amazing. You can taste the freshness and the care that was put into it. Not too much or not too little. It was amazing. As I mentioned before.... they are doing pizza and NOW calzone very well. Hats off to upper crust! read more

This has been are family go to spot for years. Great for small parties and we do superbowl here as well. The lunch and dinner specials are insane. Alot of people hate but that's their opinion. I say try it and form your own opinion, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Good atmosphere, good food, and there's a TV... This place reminded me of That Pizza Place back in the 90's, not even sure if it's still around off of El Camino Real in Carlsbad... Upper Crust offer's an atmosphere where coaches can take their team to celebrate a victory or a loss... Good food, good service, what more do you want... read more

Best pizza I've had! I'm a Vista local but moved out of town 11 years ago, and Upper Crust is always one of the first must-go stops when we visit! read more

Just got home from enjoying a small pizza - and still have 4 slices left. Although I got there a little after 9 PM, I didn't feel rushed and the staff was quite nice. Thanks! read more

New York pizza doesnt stand up to the Hombre pizza from Upper Crust! Grew up eating this pizza with my family and school friends, Though I've since moved away, i pick up an Hombre pizza coming in or out of Sandy Eggo, every time! read more

It doesn't get much better than Upper Crust Pizza... The pizza (it's all about the pizza) is fantastic. As many other reviewers have said, they really pack on the toppings; fresh, vibrant veggies, faintly sweet and creamy mozzarella cheese, perfectly baked, crispy crusts (you can also get wheat crust if you like) and light, yet hearty meats. They also make a mean pasta salad, hot baked sandwiches, calzones, excellent cheese bread, decent, homespun takes on spaghetti and lasagna... you can also include a desert (providing you have the gut space left). They have a small selection of draft beer along with a couple of specialty ales, both of which perfectly compliment their delicious pies and of course they have soft drinks for the kiddies! The absolute best part of Upper Crust Pizza is Tim (I call him Timmy, but don't tell him that), the co-owner, and the friendly staff that will recognize and great regular customers and non-regular customers alike. They absolutely make this place as enjoyable as it is. The dine-in experience is comfortable with several different seating configurations scattered throughout the dining room. They also have a small arcade towards the back of the establishment. In addition, they offer free WiFI; just be sure to ask for the passkey when you place your order. I've been going to UCP for several years now and always enjoy the time I spend there. If you're new in town, or just looking for something different (sometimes the other guys just don't cut it), you MUST give Upper Crust a try! read more

We used to come here very frequently but since the update occurred it's not the same anymore. Last time we ordered a pizza to go there was so much oil on the top of it that it leaked through the box onto the car seat. That never happened before and we have always ordered the same toppings, pepperoni, basil and bacon. The flavor just wasn't the same either, I'm not sure what all has been changed but it isn't as good as it used to be. read more

Based on several visits I give Upper Crust 4.5 stars on food This goes for their spaghetti (YUM), pizza, garlic bread, and manicotti. 4 stars on the veggie calzone, although it did seem healthy. Inside dining area is super clean and great for kids. As far as aesthetics, it could of been done better. They just remodeled. Every staff member is friendly and professional. Prices = the quality. read more

We love this place, as the pizza always tastes fresh, and the garlic bread pizza is a can't miss. Salad is nice and fresh too and it's a nice neighborhood feeling when we eat here. The one thing about the pizza is that the toppings will fall off easily, as the cheese for the most part sits beneath, but I don't mind that as the toppings are of good enough quality to pick and eat seperately. Calzone is formed almost like a bread bowl and is really good! Only thing that could improve is that the arcade machines are somewhat beaten down. The other issue was fixed a few years ago when they put tvs in to keep the eyes busy while eating this great food. read more

I was visiting San Diego, staying in Oceanside, it was after 9, and I wanted some pizza for dinner... but not from one of the chains. I found Upper Crust on yelp, and I was glad I did. The staff was friendly,and the prices were GREAT. I got a medium pizza and a half/half pasta and green salad for $16, which I thought was very reasonable. The atmosphere isn't too good -- kind of generic, but I'd rather have good food at a good price than pay for ambience. It's also in a shopping center, which makes things a bit banal, but also means parking isn't a problem. No complaints. read more

We've been coming to Upper Crust for YEARS and it's finally time to write a review for it. I went for lunch. The place was near empty around 4pm with only a few booths filled. We ordered a Half-and-Half Salad, which was a pasta salad (olives, carrots, and the pasta in a olive oil dressing) with a House Salad (Simple greens with Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side.) I know it's a small detail, but i love the fact that the dressing is on the side because sometimes the salad becomes soggy before you get it OR they don't give you enough dressing. The pasta salad was really good. It was simple but it really had me wanting more. Greens were crisp, so no problems there. Also ordered a Medium-Sized Special (Pepperoni, Sausage, Cheese, Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Tomato). I ordered it extra crispy BTW, because I like the pizza to stand on its own when you hold it up, that way the toppings don't roll off. The pizza was on point. They definitely load up the toppings and compared to most places, they don't taste like they came from a can. Overall I ate 5 slices out of the 8. It says it feeds 3 people, but that's kind of weird because one person is going to only get 2 slices while the others get 3. Overall experience was good. Total bill was a little under $20 bucks. Didn't leave a tip because nobody came out to check on us. read more

I come to this Upper Crust quite frequently. I am a sucker for their hot stuffed sandwiches. I usually get turkey. I also really like their anti-pasta salad, but if you're not a fan of onions I would recommend ordering it without. I have had their pizza one time and it was of course delicious. It was baked to perfection. I haven't ever been to another Upper Crust Pizza but this location has a ton of seating and tv's to watch the football games. But for the most part I almost always call in my order. If you do dine in after dinner you can walk across the parking lot to Golden Spoon for a great dessert : ). That is if you have any room. read more

good, the food is bomb and the employees are nice and friendly. especially that brown kid with the glasses he's really cool

Been coming here for nearly 30 years. The food never disappoints! Ever heard of GCPB? Garlic Cheese Pizza Bread, order it! It will change your life! They just recently remodeled, which hadn't been done in probably 20 years, the place looks amazing. Very well done and classy, but still keeps the hometown feel. Rumor has it, they will be expanding the beer tap selection and adding outside seating with a dog friendly patio. I can't wait! read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oceanside, California

I love this place. I've been going for years. I almost always get a pineapple pizza and a half and half salad, and when I'm eating in, a pitcher of beer. One time this lady blew up on on of the girls that work there for some really stupid reason. The chick handled it pretty well even though this lady was a crazy ass bitch. Sometimes the girl that works there recognizes me from that day. I'm not sure where I was going with that. The staff is friendly. Delicious pizza. read more

I've been here a few times now. This place is good. If I was looking for authentic Italian food, I wouldn't choose upper crust. BUT that being said, I'm not saying I don't like it. Yummy food, good for groups, pretty affordable! read more

Ate here last week with my wife, son and his roommate. This place has been around for a long time, as I recall eating here a couple times, 15 years ago or so. The pizza was good, but nothing special overall. I recalled I liked it then and I liked it now. They had a couple beers on tap that my son said are hard to find. Can't recall what they were and he was the one drinking beer that evening. The staff were really friendly, made you feel welcomed and appreciated for patronizing the place. read more

Been coming here a long time, but realized today (08/31/2016) that I should write a review because everyone was just SO nice today! I wish I would have grabbed the names of the three guys that helped me out while I was picking up my phone order for lunch, they were just awesome! Their food is also delicious! I love their crust on their pizza, perfectly crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. They do put a lot of cheese on their pizza, which most everyone loves, I'm not a huge fan of cheese so I might ask for less cheese, but that is the only thing i would change, and that is just personal preference. Other than that, their pizza is super yummy, so is their meatball sub, and their house italian for your salad is also great! Been a long time customer for a reason! Great place. read more

Upper Crust Pizza - The #6 lunch special, two pepperoni slices and a drink. $4.35. Yummmm - Pizza Near Me - Oceanside, California

Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had, and poor service! Will never go back. Would have given no stars but I guess you have to give at least one. read more

Delicious pizza and a great price. Incredibly nice staff. Would definitely recommend.

My family and I haven't going to upper crust for years. Tim, the owner, and his wife are amazing. The food is fantastic. My favorite is the hot stuffed turkey sandwich - you have to try it! The environment is great. It's comfortable, food is affordable, they have beers on tap, what more could you ask for? I'm a 5-Star fan, hands down! read more

Ordered the Calzone Special and it as really good. Will definitely try it again but there's a lot of other good food to order on the men.

I have been coming here for several years. There's a reason why I continue to do so. I love, love, love their pizza. The dough tastes fresh, the sauce is sweet and tasty, and the toppings are delicious. They have great lunch and dinner specials that are very reasonable. I've had their salads, spaghetti, and lasagna and they are all great!! I still need to try their calzones, but someday. I'm just hooked on their pizzas! The staff are very friendly and attentive and the owner is a good dude that's busting his hump like the rest of them and is very friendly. The place has a distinct "pizza joint" vibe to it, like it was back in the 80's. Round Table used to be my favorite, but they've taken a back to seat to this place. read more

This place must be under new management! The service and food are terrible and the food is massively overpriced! Such a shame because it wasn't half bad before. SO SAD! read more

Essential Oceanside pizza. Kindest staff I've met in a while. Place is clean and the seats are surprisingly comfortable and open. They completed our order lightning fast and perfectly, even though it was practically closing time. They even accommodated for a vegetarian diet by making a custom off-menu item free of charge when there was a misunderstanding :) Danielle was a rockstar! The dish: Pizza Pesto. Half Spinach and Garlic, half Bell Pepper and Red Onion. The spinach was baked until really tender, and the garlic infused really well with it. 10/10 job on the toppings there. The bell pepper got a little chewy when it was cold but that's nobody's bad but mine :P Crust was better than a lot of other places. Fluffy but crispy on the outside, no unpleasant "cardboard effect" when it cools off. Impressed. Really good with ranch (as I am learning as I type). Overall 9/5/10, maybe wish the bell pepper could be sliced a bit thicker but otherwise the food completely above reproach. My mom said the salad was perfect, but she probably won't get mushrooms next time. The whole experience gets 10/10. My mom and I will remember this place and I intend to bring future colleagues here. read more

I hate this place. Worst place to get pizza in Oceanside, best place to go if you want to be treated like a piece of crap by the young teenage/20 something year old cashier's who don't give a damn about that business. They have the typical attitude of a young adult who hates their job and probably hates their life and finds their job completely mundane and miserable as well as their life so then they proceeded to take it out on the customers. read more

Been coming here for years back when I used to work at Albertsons there...loooove their salad with their bomb ranch!!! And the carrots are always fresh and sweet so yummy!!! I never thought I'd crave carrots and the cheese on their salads! Seriously yum! Also pizza is delicious the sauce is everything!! my fav is their turkey hot stuff sandwich, holey Moley it's delicious! I just love uppercrust pizza so happy they remodeled and their bathrooms are nice and clean too! Yey! read more

Upper Crust is always a great experience with the family! Fast and efficient customer service followed by great quality food. Always looking forward to going back! read more

We really wanted to love this place, alas it was quite disappointing. Food is not very good and the service is worse. I don't like leaving negative reviews but felt it was necessary this time. read more

I love coming to Upper Crust. Each night there is a special that comes with a small garden salad, a drink, and garlic bread, and its under $10. Plus the service is pretty good and the people are awesome here. I don't understand why people say great things about this place and give it 4/5 stars, its a damn 5/5 come on people. read more

All time favorite pizza, not to thick not to thin. Their ranch makes everything better and their salads are great. The pizza even taste good the next day when you throw it in the oven. read more

So if you want a basic pepperoni pizza this isn't the place. But we paid $11-12 for a personalized pizza with an Alfredo sauce base. The have calzones that were super good with a variety of toppings. The prices are not cheap but you get what you pay for and the portions are big. I did try their bruscetta and I was less than pleased. They remodeled the inside and it looks great! read more

If you're looking for fresh ingredients and a variety of pizza choices, this is the place to go. The staff is friendly and professional. They serve a variety of beers on tap. This is a kid friendly place. It can easily accommodate people in wheelchairs with bench seating on one side and two empty spots at the table for wheelchairs access. Big screen t.v's adorn the place. Staff willing make their customers satisfied. My order was mistakenly placed on a shelf for phone order pick ups as I was waiting in the restaurant. I waited 35 minutes before I inquired about my order. Without hesitation the young man who found my order stayed he was giving me a full refund and apologized for the mix up. 2 mediums pizzas and a antipasti salad were free for my family and I that night. I like an establishment that doesn't hesitate to make a wrong right. read more

$16 -for a medium pepperoni pizza? No thanks....Won't be coming back I've been coming here for 10 years and as of two weeks ago your pizza's went up $3? WTF? -Pizza Port in Carlsbad is $18 for a large pie and much better quality and taste. People need to refuse to eat here until they bring their prices back into the normal range. This is not "Carlsbad Beach" and sure as hell not Pizza Port. read more

This place is great! They assemble everything in an excellent manner and I've been happy with everything I've ever ordered here!

Great friendly staff and the pizza was fantastic. I would also recommend the Caesar salad. We're definitely going back.

Absolutely love this place! Fun place to hang out, pizza & beer and watch the game! Everyone's always friendly and the place is clean and inviting! read more
