If youve ever walked past this place, like we did, and thought to yourself, oh, just another pizza parlor.I hate to tell you this but youre SO wrong! My people and I walked by the doors thinking what you thought until, one day, we decided to give it a shot. We were short on time and needed something fast so we got a couple slices and some drinks.We were instantly hooked. The pizza was fantastic but we also found out they have SO MUCH MORE THAN PIZZA! (hence, the name, Pizza & More, we discovered.)We started coming by during my wifes lunch because her work is close by. Lola made us feel right at home from the very beginning. She was always friendly and was extra with the service but, more than that, she talked to us like we were long time friends.We started sampling the other items on their menu. It was the cioppino that hooked us. I asked for it with veggies instead of noodles and they were very accommodating. Im not Italian at all, as far as I know, and this was how I imagined it would taste in your grammas coastal Italian villa. I ate the entire thing! My wife and her other hubby had another one between them. We were flabbergasted with how delicious it was. So much so we went back the next day to have it again. And the day after that. And the day after that. This continued for about a week, then we went on vacation but as soon as we got home we went and got the cioppino again! (My mouth is watering as I write this).Their chefs, Jair and Manolo, are freakin amazing! They all remember our specific dietary restrictions and are very accommodating with our changes so we can eat their food. After working our way through their menu and the specials (which change frequently and keep us coming back for more) we began to make more and more outlandish requests and THEY NEVER TOLD US NO!We even went to celebrate my wifes passing her nursing test and we asked ahead if we could do something really special. Enter 2 massive tomahawk steaks and fresh veggies! OMG they were beautiful. We found it hard to go back to our favorite steakhouse when one of my kids requested it for their birthday.We go to Pizza & More quite frequently these days (sometimes 2+ times in one day) because the people are absolutely phenomenal, the food blows our mind every single time, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Sometimes we even ask the chef to surprise us and weve gotten something new and delectable each time. Every dish has been fit for royalty.Do yourself a favor and stop walking past and go inside. You wont be disappointed. And if youre sitting there and you see something not on the menu being taken to a table of 3 adults (and sometimes a couple kids) who are experiencing a Pavlovian response in anticipation... thats probably us being extra.See the pictures for proof.

Gosh I love this place!!! My boyfriend and I come here quite frequently and the dining experience is always fantastic. This restaurant offers the most cozy and friendly atmosphere. The owner and cooks are always super welcoming. Our go to is the buffalo pizza but recently we’ve tried two types of pasta and they were soooooo good. The service is amazing and their attention to detail is A1. Overall, this place is awesome for a quick bite or for sit down dining. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience or for just trying some new great food on the fly! ❤️🤩

Update: Still going here almost weekly. Me and the wife just ordered the pesto fettuccine and I got the penne Alla vodka and I have to say its some of the best Ive had. The sausage and sauce has amazing flavor. You can tell the pesto is made from the freshest ingredients. These guys really know what they are doing!Glad to see the same great pizza coming out of the new spot. Lola seems like a great new owner. We ordered several times a month before and will continue to do so. Awesome they kept Matt the chef who is top notch

I honestly couldnt recommend this place more! My family has been going here for a long time and I could never find a fault in the food, atmosphere, or service. I know this might seem as an exaggeration, but its not! Everything is perfect.Lola, thank you for always serving and welcoming us into your place of business. Justin, Tammy, Zack and I love talking to you and enjoying your wonderful recipes! ❤️

I’d like to start off by saying that I haven’t posted many reviews in my time, but this place deserves it. Pizza and More has some of the best pizza I’ve ever come across. If you haven’t tried it, get the Whitestone pizza, it’s incredible. Not only was the pizza great, but the woman working there was so kind and helpful, she explained the menu and offered me water while I waited for my food. 10/10 will definitely go back, thanks guys!

Best restaurant in Vista! Do not let the name or location (located in a strip mall) dissuade you from giving this place a try! Excellent menu that includes far more than pizza—think chef curated daily specials including baby back ribs, salmon, and quail. Yes…QUAIL. Prices are SO reasonable as well—charcuterie for $10!!!!! Cozy ambiance and wonderful staff. We came back to back nights!

Pizzamaniac or Pizza And More. Either way, same great pizza. Lola is an absolute delight. The way she shows off the pizza with such enthusiasm is fun. Lowkey makes it so I cant wait to get it home and eat it 🤣 Will always be back.

First of all…. Wow!!!! I had the Ossobuco, tender fall of the bone, from the carrots to the pasta Al Dente, Lola is one of the owners Chef Jair and Manolo… you are going to get a top notch service and meal for a great price and value, all you need to do is give this place 1 shot and that’s all you’ll need to fall in love with the food and the team that runs it, to finalize its a must have….. Period!
