The pizza was flipping delicious. Sure the ambiance is not a ritzy Italian restaurant overlooking the ocean, but we're just around the corner from the beach and lunch for two was about $30. They also have a St Patrick's day special on their beer. Cheers to Knockout Pizza for hitting the spot this afternoon. Thanks!

Pizza is amazing. Closes to New York Pizza I've ever had and the fact that the young adults making it this good is spectacular. If they're 21 years old making pizza this good,this kid has a true talent.

Delicious NY style pizza. Picked this up on my way to the beach -the place looked casual and local. Pizza hit the spot. Service was quick. The pepperoni is the kind that's small and gets crispy and curves up like a cup (love those).

Great stop for a quick bite. I had a slice of artichoke pizza added pesto sauce and hubby had two slice meal with pepperoni. Both were really good just wish it was a little less greasy but overall tasted delicious and was a perfect quick bite. Service was great and helpful. Cool local spot

The parking is tough, unless you're one of the many riding a bike. The prices are good, considering its location, and the thin crust is a marvel... especially if you've ever tried making your own from scratch, and just cant get it right, either its too thick or you stretch holes in dough you've been coddling for a week and the emotion wells up inside you as you raised clenched fists upwards and bellow "Noooooooooo!" through a grimacing face. Their flavor options are good, and you can buy by the slice

Imagine going to the beach, then getting super hungry and wanting an easy little calorie rich tasty meal before you leave. Well look no further than this little local pizza spot! There's a few of these in San Diego county and it's pretty darn solid NY pizza! Easy to order, they heat it and your eating in a few minutes. Also, the staff is super friendly and nice. Good stuff!!!

While visiting family in town, we decided to explore the beautiful Carlsbad area. With its charming shops, delightful restaurants, and proximity to the beach, Carlsbad is a treat. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but with a little patience, you'll find a spot. As we strolled through the area, we were drawn to a cozy restaurant by the tantalizing aroma and the line of eager customers. The place was small but impeccably clean. The setup was straightforward: order at the counter and then find a table. The pizza here is made fresh, and we opted for the classic pepperoni. It was reminiscent of authentic NYC thin crust pizza--piping hot, cheesy, and absolutely scrumptious. We loved it so much that we returned the next day with the kids. This spot is definitely on our list for future visits whenever we're back in town.

Background On Visit: We were on a mission to find the sea wall. While we were searching the wall, we smelled a lovely pizza aroma and decided to visit the shop. Ambiance/Decor: It's a relatively small shop with 9-10 wooden tables Service: Service was great! The staffers very friendly and provided great service. After placing our order, I saw a sign up front that said that there was a two slice + drink deal for $11.99. I went up to a staffer and told her that I wanted to pay the difference to get a drink. The staffer happily gave me the soda and didn't ask me to compensate for it. Pizza Slice Of Choice: We ended up getting the Knockout. It consisted of Pepperoni, Meatball, Mushroom, and Garlic. The pizza was very tasty and the ingredients was very fresh, but wished they added more garlic. After eating the slice, we were kicking ourselves that we should've a bought a whole pizza instead. Knockout Pizza For Throught: Would definitely come back to this shop if we are ever in Carlsbad.
