URBN Encinitas — Restaurant in Encinitas

Almost perfect pizza but...

I had high expectations of this place when I walked in as the smell was amazing, the decor was cool, the staff very friendly and a good selection of drinks.

We ordered a large build your own pizza and the ingredients as you can see on the photos are very good quality. I like to pick my own toppings to avoid anything horrible.

Starter wings took 45 mins to arrive, which was my initial bad experience, considering the place wasn't busy. Thankfully we had drinks to get us through the wait. Then the amazing looking pizza arrived while I'm still eating the wings, but what you gonna do.

I ate my first slice of this very impressive looking Pizza, cooked to perfection but knew immediately something tasted vile. I had chosen the toppings so was distraught to find out these delicious toppings were covered in 'table shaker parmesan'! I find parmesan repulsive and hideous to taste. Why would you cover your work of art with cheap rubbish like that. Extremely disappointing and considering the abnormal wait time.

You have an almost perfect pizza - why...

They make you order on line. They tell you that it will take 35 minutes. One pizza small with 4 toppings cost $32.00. I arrived exactly in 30 minutes. A young girl asked for my name and took my pizza out of a delivery bag. I could tell by the temperature of the box that the pizza had been sitting awhile. I asked the girl, how long ago had the pizza been boxed. She told me that she didn't know. When I asked if she worked there, she smuggly replied that she didn't work there. I asked for the manager, who was the cook (apparently). He said the pizza had been sitting for 20 minutes, because he had a big rush.

If you require me to order online, drive there and back, and pay $32 for a pizza.... then I expect it to be hot and fresh. They didn't even offer me napkins, parm, or peppers.

He did offer to make another one. I didn't have the time to wait.

There are tons of pizza choices. If you are going to charge the high prices for your product, then service and execution have to be on point.

I won't make the same...

Okay, when they say large pizza, they aren't kidding. $29 gets you something that's about 3 ft long and 2 ft wide. Oh my God, delicious 2!

Their Margarita is on the balance of being a 3 out of 5. It could go either way. I really feel like their sauce is sweet. So if you're into that kind of thing, great. For my taste though, I like it a little more Tangy.

I did get a buffalo chicken pizza as well, with the banana peppers and buffalo hot sauce. It's great! To me it had a lot of flavor, and with the best of the three pizzas that I ordered for me and my friends.

The meatball pizza, not so great. They put ricotta cheese, which is okay, but the meatballs are kind of flat in my opinion. They need some kick, like a sour note at the end, or maybe more Tangy, or just something.

I would come here again for the buffalo chicken pizza. Not sure about the other items on the menu. If you're reading this store owner, I would have a different version of the sauce that's more Tangy. I think that's more of what Southern...
