That Pizza Place - Carlsbad — Restaurant in Carlsbad

Well it is A pizza place, just not That Pizza Place! I was very disappointed in the pizza, atmosphere and service. There are very few things that are the same, the sausage tasted close but there was much less of it on the pizza, the sauce tastes similar but everything else is completely different. The crust is so disappointing. It used to be airy and crispy, you would get these big yeast bubbles at the end of your pizza. Now it's flat and soggy. You have to roll the slice into taco shape for it to hold up. No salad bar! This is a huge deal breaker for me. The salad bar was pretty famous and one of the main attractions. They painted the walls white and put a bunch of TVs up but you cannot hear the game on any of them. I sat outside with my son and it was really nice for a little while. There was a speaker outside so we could hear the baseball game, You just had to watch it on a TV 50 yards away, but then they rolled open the door and we couldn't hear anything anymore. There were multiple service issues. Napkins are a rare commodity, there just are not enough dispensers to go around so if you want one you have to ask someone at another table for theirs. There was an extremely pompous gentleman who was walking around disturbing people's meal telling them that he was one of the owners and that he hoped they could "taste the difference". This man was rude and bumped me twice while trying to promote his business without an apology or acknowledgment. Sir we can all taste and see the difference and it definitely is not for the better! We won't be going back. RIP That Pizza Place,...

I firmly believe in giving the mom & pop places business before chain establishments but today is the last time I will go to this place. I ordered a meatball sub with salt and vinegar chips, (this is the side that comes with the sandwich) and I waited 35 minutes to be served. When I saw the sandwich I knew it had to be cold because the way the cheese looked. I tried it and yes it was cold. The girl was very apologetic and very nice and offered to make a new sandwich but I wasn’t about to wait another 35 minutes. We agreed to try heating it up in the oven and there went another 10 minutes. When she brought it back out it was hot and pretty good but I have had a better meatball sandwich at Subways. They give you a choice of 3 chips, bbq, salted or vinegar and salt, I had the salted before and oh wow it was like they dumped a whole container of salt on them. I don’t like bbq so I tried the vinegar and salt, wow! I couldn’t eat them, it was like they dumped 2 containers of salt on them, I tried wiping them with napkins but still couldn’t eat them! I tried a little piece of my friends bbq chips and they were just as bad. Why do they have to salt everything so much, I’ve never experienced anything like it. Maybe it’s for the ones that are drinking beer in hoping that customers will order more beer because their so thirsty? Don’t know but I will stick with...

I had the pleasure of dining at this well-established That Pizza Place restaurant, and I must say, it's a hidden gem! With its long history in the area, it's clear they know their pizza, and it shows. The pizza I had was outstanding - the crust was perfectly crisp, the sauce was flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and abundant.

But it's not just the food that sets this place apart. The service was exceptional; the staff were attentive and friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. What impressed me even more was the restaurant's dedication to sports enthusiasts of all ages. They have numerous screens, ensuring you won't miss any game, and the ambiance is electric during major sporting events. It's the ideal spot for fans to gather and enjoy the game with family and friends.

In a world where many new restaurants come and go, this restaurant's longevity speaks volumes. If you're in the mood for exceptional pizza, a lively sports-watching experience, and delicious food, this place should be at the top of your list. I can't...
