Pizza and Beer go together like Batman and Robin. I don't come here nearly as often as I used with a Carlsbad location being much closer to me it's still nice to come to the original, at least for me. This was my first experience of pizza and beer outside of KPFM.

I've personally stolen their saying of Grub and Grog for many many years and most people never know where I got it.

The group seating and shared tables make it somewhat family friendly, but please be aware not everyone is here for your 12 year olds birthday lunch. Pizza's are actually pretty reasonable assuming your don't trying to get a half dozen ingredients. Here they tend to overcrust the ratio and offer a very cream ranch. Large salads are quite filling, but it's not called salad port. Separate ordering for food and alcohol can slow down the process, but when busy expect 45 minute wait. When the weather is great the outside seating is really nice, but can get crowded and this need'nt be said, but no alcohol beyond the patio. Parking is on the side and behind, but limited. Bathroms are pretty clean and service ok. The loud speaker sucks and they will probably mess up your name so I suggest going to something unique like my buddy Brian who uses his nickname El Conquistador which is fun. Celebrity names also encouraged as it's pretty muffled, but loud enough. Plenty cheese and hot you should definitely get the beer buddies and sometimes I don't even order the pizza. Dough can be alittle chewy, but it's not NY thin crust of Chicago deep dish, it's just delicious cheesy hot goodness.

This is not a brewery so I'm not going to hold them to the same standards so I always stick with the classics that I know rather than try some random named beer with unknown info on. Like with all PP's the front ordering area gets crowded, but here it's unique in how low the ceiling is. I'm not a tall person, but claustrophobia may be an issue. Standard PP wooden interior. My last excursion here was to eat after a metric century road bike ride from Irvine. Perfect place to carb reload aside from Islands.
