Hammer's N.Y.Pizza — Restaurant in Encinitas

I been vacationing in San Diego area from Az last 15 yrs to visit my baby sister living in southern Ca. Originally grew up in Philly...NYC area. Always trying out new food places that open up in this area. Discovered Hammers NY style pizza in Encinitas. BEST NY style pizza I've ever tasted in all of San Diego. I dont usually write in reviews. This place Hammers NY style pizza...is the exception. This guy has the correct ingedients down to the science of that New York taste I remember and Love so well. Dough is thin..perfect crunch outside...yet soft cooked dough on inside. Ingredients is perfectly blended that makes your taste buds scream for more. (I drove back very next day from San Marcos to Encinitas to have more of this tasty pizza). Yeah....that good. I highly recommend this place if you like that authentic NY style pizza. Owner (Hammer) is originally from NYC...(which made sense to me) very personable person who takes pride in his skills and product he puts out to serve others...prices are very reasonable. A must try....if you know NY style pizza. ...

We were visiting from out of town and staying at a hotel, we googled best pizza near me and this place popped up and reviews looked good, so we decided to give it a try.

The guy that took our order must have been new because we walked out to our car to wait the 20 minutes for our order and as we walked out the other guy told him that he was supposed to charge an extra $5 for “walk in” orders. If we had been notified of this extra charge, we would have definitely not ordered from here. Pizza was nothing special, just average at best. They did not even have to go plates, cheese packets or pepper packets. We would definitely not...

I tried Hammer's Pizza for the first time on Friday this week, and it was so good I came back on Saturday afternoon for some more pizza. The best NY pizza I've tasted on the West Coast. Prices are very fair. The Hammer is a very personable proprietor and eager to please his customers. Hammer is also passionate about creating an excellent NY pizza. The rest of Hammer's menu looks just as good and I'm looking forward to trying those items as well. I'm a big fan of Hammer's pizza and I love to support small businesses like Hammer's Pizza dedicated to their talent of creating excellent food and providing excellent customer service. ...
