Went to Best Pizza and Brew in escondido for the first time and if is hands down the spot to go. The pizza was so fresh, loaded with flavor, and perfectly cooked! The atmosphere is really welcoming, the team looked like they were working hard AND having fun. The service was on point despite it being busy! Everyone is so friendly and personable there! AND its dog friendly, they even have a dog menu which is good to know for next time! Merch was cute too! What also stood out to me was the manager, Mari, who truly made this place stand out. You can tell she runs the restaurant with professionalism, positivity, and genuine care for both customers and staff. You can see that she takes pride in creating a great experience which is rare to see these day! she’s attentive, friendly, and keeps ever

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wasn’t planning on writing this review… but here we are. Someone very persistent (yes, Oleg, the “big boss” himself) kept telling me, “You have to try this place. I’m there almost every day.” When a man who runs on ambition, espresso, and chaos voluntarily sits down for lunch daily in the same spot… you get curious. So I went to Best Pizza & Brew in Escondido. First impression? The atmosphere is just right. Lively but not loud, warm without trying too hard, that perfect balance where you can feel relaxed and still a little fancy. It has personality. The kind you notice immediately. Now let’s talk food — because I don’t play about food. I have… standards. The pizza crust? Proper. Crisp outside, soft inside. Balanced. The wings? Honestly unfair. Juicy, flavorful, borderline ad

This place has amazing pizzas paired with a dope atmosphere. They have large party capabilities, and great beer options. The service is good, and I love the salads here. My go to is the Cesar salad, but the Greek is really good too. Honestly, even their specialty salad is bomb. But I love the meat lovers here, and I always add fresh garlic to my pies. Plenty of parking in the back, or street parking along v. parkway.

Woww!!!! Best Pizza & Brew in downtown Escondido is not just a restaurant — it’s a hidden gem that makes you stop and realize life is actually good. The atmosphere alone deserves an award. Huge outdoor patio, real fire pits burning, warm glow everywhere, TVs in all the right places, people relaxed, laughing, enjoying life. It’s chill, romantic, classy without trying too hard. You can show up casual or dressed sharp — either way you belong. In the middle of what I jokingly call the “lost city suburbs,” this place feels like Beverly Hills secretly relocated to Escondido. Now the pizza… my God. This is not pizza — this is gourmet art. Perfect crust, balanced ingredients, real flavor, not that cheap greasy nonsense. Every bite feels intentional. Whoever runs that kitchen knows exactly what t

Wow wish we found this place earlier ! Whenever a shop call their pizzas best, I avoid it lol but their pizzas are great! Definitely top 5. Love that we can get slices and try different kinds. The hot honey pizza was amazing!!! Loved the fire place, surfing videos, music, service are all awesome. Also it was super affordable priced where everywhere else we need over $50 for 2 people, it was $30 (2 slices eat w beer and tip). Really big place with tons of seating indoor outdoor, parking lot is a plus on downtown Esco. We will certainly be back !!
