Napizza

Do you love pizza as much as I do? And while you may not care which "style" it is, if you haven't tried the ROMAN style, you are really missing out! Today, I was meandering along N. Coast Hiway 101 in between gigs when I wanted something different for lunch. Then, after I saw the sign: 1 slice & a drink $6, I was All In! The crust is perfect; airy, toasty and light. The sauce is evenly measured, and today I had the ham and pineapple; something I wouldn't ordinarily do. It was fantastic. They offer tasty salads, too, but I didn't grab one today. If you're looking for a clean, fast and healthy alternative to either fast food, or the taco stands that abound, try Napizza...it's super tasty, and they deliver, too!

July 10, 2020 Update: Looks like this place in Encinitas is closed for good. There was a sign up that Mr. Moto Pizza is moving into this space. Funny, Napizza doesn't say anything about the closure on social media and I don't know if their other locations are also closed. Doesn't look promising, drats. Original review: So happy I tried this place last week. First off, parking along South Coast Hwy is impossible but there are two free options very close by. Walk around the block at E Street east to Vulcan St and find a large open air lot. Or just go a half block south to F Street for a very large free underground parking garage. I used the lot on Vulcan this time. I went for very late lunch during a weekday so there were no crowding issues. The pizza is a focaccia-type. Thick but very light and airy. Super crunchy outside and soft inside. There is a large selection of pre-made slices with various toppings. I had the Lasagna slice. It had a meaty Bolognese sauce, cheeses and bechamel sauce. Wow, was it delicious. Although pre-made it tasted fresh. It was large enough for a decent lunch but they offer two-slice specials as well. I also had a Mexican coca-cola and it was really good too. Lunch was 10 bucks including a tip. Bathroom was new and clean. Can't wait to stop by again.

I've had some fine pizza in the US to Europe and beyond...I've been seriously ruined! I'm a traditionalist when it comes to pizza, a pepperoni & shooms type of guy. And love the California Pepperoni with Jalapeno. But there is nothing traditional here! From: Bapo- bacon & potato to Breakfast that has a little egg sunny side up! If you're looking for pizza that will take your to taste buds to heaven, this is it! Organic, Fresh and Local! OO flour from Italy. Fantastic!!!
