We love this place. I thought it was time I gave them the review They deserve. I work near this location and so my coworkers and I come here often for lunch. They have a great lunch special. I have enjoyed the pizza , lasagna,and the hot and the cold sandwiches . all the lunches come with a soda and a salad. It's a great meal and it's a good value. Everything is served quickly so that you have a chance to have a nice meal in 45 minutes. After work or after busy days, we have picked up pizzas here for dinner. My husband is a big fan of the meat lovers. I like the Hawaiian. upper crust is always very generous with the toppings. when you take your piece of pizza out of the box you have to go back with a spoon to get all the extra toppings that have fallen back into the box. They seem to hire a lot of young people and everybody who's waited on us or served us has always been very professional and friendly. We enjoy coming here and we feel we get a lot of value for our money read more

So bad. Doughy, uncooked flour pie for $32 plus tax and tip. They want $1 for their cut/water down ranch. So pissed I ever recommend this place. I realized their clientele will probably eat anything. GROSS!!! read more

I had a great time at Upper Crust Pizza! The pizza was absolutely delicious, and I was especially impressed by the flavorful spaghetti sauce. The service was amazing--everyone was friendly and made us feel welcome. The ambiance is perfect for a casual outing; it has a laid-back vibe with sports playing on the screens and a fun arcade area that adds to the overall experience. It's a great spot to hang out, and I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit! read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Personal cheeses pizza - Pizza Near Me - Vista, California

Food: The dough is really below average. The toppings are cheap and very thin, super greasy. The place is run by students who couldn't care much about customer service or food quality. Place: Old furniture, dirty floors, really noisy, kids running around without any respect and parents who don't care, dirty "fun zone" (kids go play in there with their hands full of cheese grease and tomatoes sauce). I guess it's an ok environment if you are a fan of chuck-e-cheese. My antipasto salad has "something" non-edible in it, probably a very hard onion 'butt'. The leftover pizza went to trash after 4 days in the fridge. Absolutely do not recommend. I am giving it 2 starts because all the kids I saw there were having much fun. read more

First time trying this place, based off of reviews decided to have dinner there for my son's birthday. They have great customer service, everyone working there is sweet and helpful and best of all the pizzas were delicious !!! Pizzas tasted fresh and had big topping portions which was a plus! Ordered 2 XLs, two 12 piece wings and 2 salads this was perfect for our group of 10 adults and 2 kids. Favorites were the Everything pizza and the half and half salad with ranch dressing. We were able to watch the World Cup soccer game! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because they don't accept reservations so we had to ask a friend to save seats/tables and it was pretty hot inside not sure if the AC was down. Other than that it's a great pizza place ! Will definitely come back again! read more

Have been going to this restaurant since the 90s when I was in high school at VHS. They are consistent. The hot stuffed turkey sandwich is a winner. The pizza rocks! Salads are on point. read more

Food is consistently great. Never disappointed and I'm picky. Recommended to me by a few people who have lived in the area over 30+ years. I love the meatball sub and lasagne. Customer service is also a breath of fresh air. Kindness all the time. One of my favorite lunch spots. Try it! read more

Cool spot in Vista. Good pizza, wings, salad, etc. at nominal prices. This has been the go-to place for my kids sports team awards parties. They are always very accommodating and helpful. read more

Upper Crust pizza is usually my first choice when I am in Oceanside. Their pizza is pretty good and their other dishes are even better. The service tends to be slow even when they are not crowded--but I always feel like I get a good meal here. read more

My favorite pizza place for over 40 years . The staff is super friendly and the food is always great.

We love this pizza spot. The pizza is great. The vibes are fun. And the people are pleasant! I've gotten the wings a few times and they are good. Nothing to write home about but I'd get them again. We definitely come for the pizza though read more

I've been coming here for years, since I was a child actually, and it's always maintained its consistency. Out of every pizza place I've tried, New York's included, this place is my favorite. The flavors of the ingredients are rich and deep. The selection of their menu always keeps the experience fresh and unique. You can taste the care and effort the owner puts into the food. This is Vista's treasure and what makes the city feel like home. It's more than a restaurant, it's part of me. A+ / S tier read more

Huge thanks to the helpful team working their buts off at this location Been coming here for over 30 years with many of my own friends from high school working here. Good food- their 1/2 and 1/2 salad is amazing along with their dressings and pizza! Fun sports location with good food read more

Can't go wrong with the variety of lunch specials. Their prices are fair and the specials come with a drink as well. Their prices staff is friendly and quick. Love that they have TVs to watch sports. read more

I know everyone comes here for the pizza and ranch, I do too. But there is 1 thing you're missing out on if you don't order their hot stuff sandwiches. Pastrami, turkey, Italian it doesn't matter which one you order. Fresh wonderful dough then layer down with layers of meat and cheese and your favorite toppings, then layered again with dough and heated in an oven! Hot damn this hot stuff sandwich is wonderful! Give it a try read more

Upper Crust Pizza is located behind the Dunkin' Donuts, next to the Sprouts. It's in the Vista Terrace Market Place Center. I haven't actually dined in at this location in a long time, but I have ordered takeout several times. The restaurant has plenty of tables and booths. It's definitely family friendly, there is a small arcade/video game area. I usually order a combination pizza and salad. The Hawaiian and Everything are my favorite combination pizzas on the menu. My two favorite salads are the Half & Half Salad and the Antiopasto Salad. The Half & Half Salad is half Garden Salad and half Pasta Salad, the best of both worlds; literally. The Antipasto Salad is filled with fresh toppings (e.g., salami, ham, tomatoes, red onions, black olives, artichoke hearts). The parking lot is busy; limited, but not impossible, just not always convenient. Also, you can't order online or via app, you can order at the restaurant or by phone. I recommend calling to order, so you don't have to wait because this location tends to get busy. read more

Great pizza at an impressive price. Of the two north county locations. This is my choice.

This place just might be my all-time favorite pizza joint in the entire country. I was introduced to it by my wife, who had grown up with it and raved about it for years. Once I finally got to try it, I could see why she'd rave about it. Not only is their pizza top notch, they have excellent ranch dressing to compliment it, which also goes well on their salads and pasta salads (try the half and half salad, too!). I don't know what kind of pepperoni they use, but it just works so well together with their crust and ranch dressing. A pro tip though, use a knife and fork to cut the pizza for dipping it into the ranch, and get extra ranch on the side, as you'll want it because it's so dang delicious. If you happen to be in the area, you won't want to miss this restaurant! read more

Great Tuesday special, lasagna with salad and garlic bread. Very good service and terrific pizzas.

They have the best hot stuffed sandwiches I have ever had. I will drive 45mins just to have lunch here.

As I have never eaten pizza from Upper Crust, I am confining my review to their lunch service, which is fast, cheap, and filling. There are over 7 Lunch Specials, most of which are in the $8.00 range, and include a 16 oz. drink. You order from the counter upon entering and can be in and out in 20-minutes after a sit-down lunch, if you are in a hurry. Many of the specials include a small salad, which is a great deal--lots of quality lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, topped with shredded cheese and your favorite dressing. The salad is served with lightening speed, with the remainder following in a few minutes. One can get a to-go cup so that you can take some soda with you. My favorite is #6, which is a half cold (turkey for me) sandwich, salad and drink. Whether for a quick bite, or a longer lunch with friends, I would highly recommend Upper Crust. read more

First time ordering/visiting. Ordered the Garlic Delight. Took about 20min from calling in my order to taking it out to my car. The pizza joint is a real restaurant with plenty of seating, televisions and an arcade game nook. The staff is friendly and full of smiles. Upon waiting for the pizza my 8yr old won several rubber bath toys from one of their claw game. It's signage states: Guaranteed Winner! The pizza is fragrant, full of toppings, and if you adore garlic this is the pizza for you. It is a tasty pie. What a wonderful first impression. This review is for anybody who wishes to hear my opinion... read more

Upper Crust is a local legend. The lunch specials are fire! I've been going here since tee ball games and they always deliver fresh amazing pizzas and never scrimp on the toppings. Always have the Padre game on too. Best home made ranch dressing. Great all around environment. 5 stars! read more

This was my favorite pizza restaurant in Vista, but not so anymore. There is way too much dough and the sauce has changed because it no longer has any flavor. Incredibly bland pizza compared to before and I'm wondering if they are using less inferior products now. Great amount of toppings but if the base is not good it ruins the whole pizza. So disappointed because I really liked this place. read more

I've been here a few times. I had taken my client out for lunch after taking her to her appointments. We always have the special. The price is perfect for the lunch special. read more

The food is great no matter what you order, but i go because they have the best salads anywhere. If they delivered, we'd order every week!

Love this place!! People are always friendly and the food is great. Most of the workers know me when I come in. Very reasonable prices.

Ordered the hot stuff pastrami sandwich. Loved it! The meat and veggie proportions were perfect. I especially loved the crust/bread. Highly recommended! read more

Sometimes there's Nothing better than a good ole' fashioned sloppy slice of pepperoni pizza! I mean it! Is it greasy? Yes. Are the pepperonis oily? Yes. Is it oozing with gooey cheese? Hell Yeah. This, my friends, is what you're looking for... To ease the pains of the work week; To make the best of your dietary cheat; May I recommend you head on down to this local favorite establishment... Upper Crust Pizza. Located right off the E Vista Way main road, this small-owned pizzeria has plenty of what you're looking for when planning family-dinners, gatherings, or parties. Because of its spacious, two-level floor plan, you can easily hold huge group gatherings. There are multiple televisions for everyone's viewing pleasure and there's even a mini-arcade game-room in the front. Their prices are VERY reasonable and their Lunch Combos are super! You can often get a slice of pizza, salad and a drink for under $6. The few cons I could find are: * gluten-free options only available for 10" pies * pizza-by-the-slice only for pepperoni * bathroom is small (single person optimized) Overall, I really enjoy coming here for some lasagna, spaghetti or pizza on my lunch and I also recommend Upper Crust Pizza because they support Youth with Disabilities Work Programs. read more
