My daughter kept bringing home this great pizza from Vista that was so good she would get it on her way home. Reminded me of the pie back in Chicago wit the anchovies under the sauce Bam I'm three fingers in I'm eating this Large meat lovers wit anchovies ! Anyway I found this location a mile from my house. The ambiance is great the seating is spaced perfect for fat Americans like me. I'm coming back on Valentines with my girlfriend if I can get a seat this place is busy !! read more

Probably the best pasta salad I've ever had, and there was enough for an army in the small order. Husband always wants a thick crust, and he got it. Delicious meal. read more

Ordered their cauliflower crust pizza x2, and pretty good amount of toppings and the crust was pretty crispy overall.

I heard that Upper Crust Pizza was popular in Oceanside so I figured I better give it a try since I was in the area. We ordered pickup over the phone. Our order was ready at the time they estimated. Our order was correct and the cashier was efficient. Not too busy on a Saturday night. Pizza was good but I've had better. The garlic cheese pizza bread was just ok. It comes with either marinara or ranch. Slices are pretty big so the large and the garlic cheese pizza bread was more than enough for 4 adults. I'm probably not going to crave this the next time i'm in the area. read more

Excellent food and service. Their pizza is delicious! Comfortable seating for a large or small group.

Has great food with a great ambiance. The hot stuffed sandwiches and half and half salad are my favorites.

Oceanside (San Diego County), California. Hours: T-Sun 11-8/9. Closed Monday. Location: Strip mall off of Oceanside/College. Parking: Large lot for the strip mall. Décor: Stools, booths and tables. Estimate Cost: $15-20 no alky Service: Counter Eatery Type: Fast Food Food: Pizza, wings, and sandwiches. One of the better pizza places in the Oceanside/Vista area. The dough for the pie is floury-tasty and the cheese is sprinkled perfectly. I really enjoyed the pizza eating experience. Many of you already know buying an entire pizza always tastes better than the heated pizza by the slice method. Chicken wings - Heavy on the sauces that are offered. Tried the honey bbq, buffalo and naked on separate occasions. The honey bbq was way too sweet for me so if that's your thing then it will be perfect. The buffalo was preferred and melts good with bleu cheese or cool ranch. The buffalo is my preference. The naked is good too with the cool ranch and not so much with bleu cheese in my opinion. The naked is selected when I'm with folks who are too weak to eat spicy. Calzones, subs or pasta will be tried when I'm by myself. It's hard not to get a big ole pizza when your with other folks cause it's soooo yummy. And no, I will never buy a salad. Eat Responsibly My Friends. www.cleeshyun.com @cigarcpa @cleeshyun read more

Food is always good! Staff is in a good mood most of the time too. Keep up the good work!!

One of the better local pizza spots that I've been coming to for years since I was a kid. The quality has never changed and they've always been top-notch with their ingredients and flavor. The pizzas are great and there a wide variety of toppings to choose from. Their calzones are amazing -- definitely worth a try if you're in the mood for something a little different. Pro-tip: their dough is very thick and fluffy. This is NOT cardboard pizza! Be careful when ordering or you might have too many leftovers. Also, make sure you order their Garlic Cheesy Pizza Bread. Whenever I have someone try this, they can't stop talking about it. It is hands down the best thing they have here. The ranch that comes with it is made in-house... don't be afraid to ask for more read more

If you're planning on ordering for takeout I would suggest ordering through the phone or else you might be waiting 15 minutes for one slice of pizza and a salad. I ordered their #1 lunch special (pepperoni pizza, salad, and a drink) and it was good. Everything was average in my opinion but I thought the prices were nice (I believe my lunch comb came out to $10 but don't quote me on that). It seems like a popular spot for people to have lunch at and to sit down with friends while eating. read more

Very good pizza took it to go, had good crust, plenty of sauce and heated well the next day. The employees were very friendly and happy to assist . It's a nice little pizza place not a fancy restaurant but works well. read more

Look it's been a while okay? What do you mean? Well, I haven't broken out my Yelp writing skills in a long time, so I thought I would drop some knowledge on Yelp about my experiences at Upper Crust Pizza. Cut to the chase: Pasta Salad + Balsamic + Ranch = Heaven. Thank me later. I've lived in Oceanside for just over a year and while still in search of great pizza, I finally landed on Upper Crust. Upper Crust came on recommendation from a good friend of mine who has lived in North County San Diego for 20+ years. I figured that he and his family knew something about something, so why not? I have to say, Upper Crust is one of my favorite pizza places in San Diego, definitely #1 in Oceanside! Their crust is so so delicious! I've ordered a simple pepperoni and mushroom, to their BBQ chicken pizza, and they have all been cooked perfectly and just so damn good! I try not to blow a place upon the first trip, but there have been three trips so far in a short time frame and it really is that good! COVID has obviously hated on eating out, especially the dining in part, but Upper Crust has great customer service and the order has been very simple! Phone order is a breeze or you can just walk up to their window (watch out for the small trip hazard) and wait till your food is done. My wife and I absolutely love their pasta salad!! The pasta is cooked perfectly! Please, Upper Crust, do not change this ever! The range is HIGHLY recommended for dipping and your salads of course. The balsamic is the right texture and flavor. Whew! Glad I came out of hiding to write this. Upper Crust Pizza is well-deserving of business and has made amazing pizza for decades here in Oceanside, CA. I am looking forward to eating here for years to come. I can not wait to have a huge pizza party and order all from Upper Crust! read more

Was the first time going there went to pick my grandson up from work and we stopped by there, which is close by oh my gosh it was the best pizza I've had in years. They were quick. They were nice. The restaurant was clean. Will definitely be going back. read more

Fresh ingredients. Piled high veggies on veggie pizza. Great crust. Large variety of menu items.

I WiSH I had taken pictures. I went there for the first time ever last night. I heard great things about their lasagna. We got takeout. I ordered a full order of lasagna and a small special pizza with extra cheese. When I got there I looked at the pizza and ask if this was with extra cheese. The guy said yes. There was barely any cheese on it. It was SO bland, and definitely not extra cheese. The lasagna was laughable. I have never seen a lasagna so thin in my life. My poor husband was so sad when he saw it. It was about 1/2 of an inch thick. And small rectangle. Literally 6 bites. What a waste of 37 dollars. I should have spoke up for myself when I was there. Skip this place for sure. read more

We usually go to the Vista location, but we went to the Oceanside location since we were near by. After waiting longer than normal, we asked about our order and found that our food had been forgotten which resulted in an overcooked calzone. I would highly recommend driving to the Vista location for great food and service. read more

The food and service here is amazing! I called in an order for pickup and when I arrived at the restaurant it was ready and the employees behind the counter were So friendly and professional. The cheese bread and the salads are my favorite! read more

Real review 4.5 stars. One of my favorite pizza places in SD. I first got introduced here as a kid in Escondido and they closed that location. 15 years later found 2 other locations. Great crunchy crust and fresh ingredients. Always consistent and balance of sauce and cheese. read more

Best pizza in town but there are 2! If you're in Vista make sure you go to the one off of East Vista way! The one in Oceanside is a different owner and the ingredients seem to be a little difference, or maybe it the way they make it. Never had any issues with receiving sides Ranch/ Peppers or utensils, always arrives warm and tasty! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oceanside, California

Love their pizza especially their mushrooms. Thinly sliced and loaded on the pizza just the way I liked it. Lots of seating with TVs in multiple places to watch sports. They even have a mini arcade area for the kiddos. Staff is friendly and take care to get your order right. Just be aware they are not open on Mondays. read more

The food here won't amaze you, but it is solid for a very fair price. I'll admit that if I was a parent or in charge of feeding a large group, I'd rate it much higher since I could easily host a pizza party here. I mostly come for the Spaghetti Dinner Special on Mondays, though I want to try the sandwiches and calzones too. The food is honestly pretty generic and plain, but that's okay. I rarely like paying a lot for pasta because it's so cheap to make. They recently did a mini remodel, which took this place from dingy 80s to a more modern vibe. The prices went up a bit, which was to be expected. Overall, I recommend this place especially for groups and the lunch/dinner specials. Pros: - inexpensive - super friendly staff - good for groups and kids - lots of parking Cons: - bar stools very uncomfortable - a bit under-seasoned - meh drinks - salad has too much water in it, gets limp fast read more

My family loves Upper Crust Pizza! We have been dining at the one in Palm Springs for years and we're so happy to find one in Oceanside so close to home. This one seems a bit more modern than the one in Palm Springs too. Always a great atmosphere, and the staff are typically friendly and eager to help. I like how the menu is still on the wall and you just look and pick. We love Upper Crist because the pizza is that old fashioned, super cheesy, thick, and hot pizza that we all remember from our childhood (80s/90s kids here). And the salads are nothing short of spectacular. We always get the largest bowl because we are a large family. Fresh, ice cold lettuce, tomatoes, I think black olive, juicy pepperoncini, and a huge helping of fresh shredded mozzarella cheese (not the powdery pre shredded stuff, this is clearly fresh). Huge helping of ranch dressing all around, and it's that slightly runny ranch that is highly sought after everywhere one goes. The bar is nice for beer, and they have the typical sodas for the kids. And the kids love that there are some games in the corner. Very nostalgic, we love it. What's more is that the vibe is usually families and a more mature crowd (at least when we go). This place is far super to Best Pizza and Brew and we love that we can eat Upper Crust Pizza here on the coast or in the desert. read more

The best pizza in Oceanside. They also make homemade ranch dressing that is incredible.

I'm a NY style pizza guy. But when I want a regular style pizza this is my go to place. They do a pretty good Hawaiian style pizza at a decent price. read more

Our go to for delivery. The best pizza around in our opinion, pastas are simple but good and come with garlic bread. Excellent ranch dressing, important to us. Calzones are also really good! read more

Jenna is the best, very courteous and nice. The service was great also. Cannot wait until we go back to Upper Crust

First time here and it was delicious! We had meatball sandwich and hot stuff sandwich. The bread was so fresh.

I've always heard great things about this spot but it took me so long to eat here. So one evening I decided to stop by and grab a pie with some pasta salad. This place reminds me of a pizza spot back in High School because it wasn't anything fancy and it's affordable. The pizza is good but if you're looking for a gourmet pizza place then this isn't the spot for you. The pasta salad was good nothing to complain about and the prices are right. I'll come again because it's very homey here like an old school pizza spot. read more

Don't get me wrong, my wife and I love specialty Pizzas with a little variety, but when I tell you we got a mushroom pizza was an understatement. This thing was piled high with mushrooms to the point that it was still raw dough underneath. The smell was so bad that we couldn't even eat what was salvaged. This is the worst pizza I've ever received in my life. It had SO MANY MUSHROOMS!!! Do not order multiple topping especially mushrooms! We luckily got our money back and tried another place instead. read more

I LOVE this place! No complaints, just praise. Iv'e been coming here for some time and every visit is consistent. I'm alway's received with a smile and a welcome. I appreciate when the staff make the effort for the experience to be pleasant. Place is well maintained as far as i can see, bathroom's are also clean which is a plus. To the food itself, pizza is absolutely delicious! My order remain's unchanged so i will only speak on what i get, the mini with all toping's with a half and half salad which are sufficient enough to satisfy my hunger. I'm honestly addicted to this pizza and with the combination of the salad and on occasion a coke with light ice! Cannot beat that ultimate combination of flavor! Every time i come here i'm already anticipating the first bite. Guess the only downside is at time's the food can take a bit long but no fault to the restaurant itself, it's more of my impatient tendency to already have the pizza in hand ready for consumption ! To me the whole experience is worth the price of admission! The food is quality so i expect to pay for it. In conclusion, i highly recommend this place to anyone that's around the area or want's some good Pizza! Even if you live a distance away, i think it's worth the drive. -Antonio read more

Yummy! We got a custom pepperoni & pineapple pizza with the cranberry salad. Delish! The staff was friendly and helpful even close to closing time. Service window available makes it easy for takeout. But make sure to confirm which location you're calling. Either way, it's a win. read more

I love places like this! Super casual, laid back, no fluff over the top let's add all this crazy weird crap to your pizza non sense! I came in on a Friday night and OMG! You would swear this place was being promoted by a celebrity! Why? Because there wasn't a place to park! I'm always near here and have never seen the parking lot situation this crazy! If you're looking for a hidden Oceanside gem where locals go for good, simple, classic pizza, this is it. I'm more of a simpleton and when a place makes the simple things taste great, you take notice! Their mozzarella is homemade as I'm sure everything else is, but I could of just eaten gobs of mozzarella! Perfectly cheesy and salty! Also I have to make note of the ranch dressing. I'm not a ranch person probably ever since I saw a friend of mine at Denny's get a side of ranch and put all of her hash browns in there and just started eating it from the bowl! However this ranch is AMAZING and definitely homemade! We had two classic salads, Special Calazone, and BBQ Chicken Pizza. I'm sure no matter what you get it tastes amazing! Even if you get their pasta just get a side of ranch dressing! Trust me just do it! Pizza was hot and amazing with gooey cheese and the salad definitely made me feel less guilty about indulging in carb overload. I also heard they have really great sandwiches, so I want to come back and try those! read more
