Did not make it in shop, so can't comment on interior. I heard they have redone it in recent years and opened it up a little more. Cannot comment on service either. But the pizza. Very good. 50/50 pesto and veggie Pesto, has a lot of good flavor, pesto is very present but not overpowering. Veggie is good, not my favorite but still a good flavor profile, could just be a slight lacking of toppings. Combo is delicious, a good mixture of flavors. good amount of toppings on top. Now for all pies- crust nice and thin east coast ny style. Cheese and sauce ratio and flavor very good. Nice crunch crust with a touch of doughy. A very tasty mix of pizza. Recommend!!
Nice thin crust pizza, my favorite. Service is always quick and friendly. Cute setting on the plaza. Very local vibe.
A good pizza made with quality ingredients and a flavorful dough and toppings-somehow same pizza bought a few times had a different proportion of toppings, giving it a variance to what was expected Telephone call received by a pleasant, welcoming voice -order taken presently and patiently. Server was pleasant and prompt to get the order, delivered ambience as expected in a pick up location and generally appearing hygienic and clean. I have taken one star away for the variance in the taste.
Whether it's called Mass Mike's or East Coast Pizza, I love me some East Coast Pizza!!! I stumbled upon Mass Mike's almost 15 years ago in San Marcos and I've been following it at ECP ever since they changed the name... 2 slices of the BBQ is absolutely the best! Great food, quick service, and walking distance to the beach... this might possibly be the best location they have!
I'm so happy we stumbled onto this local pizza shop after we left the Cardiff Seaside Market next door. We tried two slices- one of the standard cheese and one of their rotating flavors, a white pie with two types of pepperoni, dollops of marinara, onions, and basil. We gave the pizza here a 9/10 on the Portnoy scale- it had a crispy undercarriage with the perfect balance of toppings. We just wish the marinara were a tad sweeter. Amazing pizza!
First time here, delicious subs !!!! Get them Mikey's way The pizza is good. Nice crispy crust. They aren't actually from the east coast (I asked) Ambiance is nice with the ocean breeze and the patio doors open. Great service and the guys working there are pretty chill.
My new favorite pizza place!! The staff here is great-- everyone is so friendly and upbeat it really makes the dining experience homey and welcoming. The slices are really big and reasonably priced. Everything is served to you warm and that first crunch is so satisfying. Love the area and I will definitely be coming here regularly.
"An excellent rendition of NY Style pizza with beachside vibes." Having gone to NY and fell into a craze of finding/ making the best thin slice NY pizza, this place does an excellent job. Went for lunch and found the shop tucked away in a sunny plaza. The display case was stocked full of pies with different toppings and flavors. I went with a plain cheese and two other slices for their lunch special. The dough was crisp, thin, and had an excellent chew. It wasn't too hard even after being refired for us. Cheese was salty and gooey and the sauce was the right amount. I would've liked a little more acidity or sweetness from the sauce, but otherwise it reminded me of like a Joe's Pizza in Manhattan - light and airy, but had you craving another slice. The slices came out hot and fast and they had tables and a bar to sit at. In addition, the storefront was open with plenty of natural light and an outdoor area for kids and pets. Prices were as expected for a non-chain pizza place with slices about $4-5 ala carte. Best slice: Spicy Chicken (Buffalo sauce)
Shout out to these guys. Picture this..busy Friday night...every pizza spot jam pack and lines out the door! Wait what's this...East Coast Pizza...busy, but the line isn't super long and it's moving pretty quick. Yes, so my hangry kids will actually get fed soon and Not drive me crazy?! Thank you!! Thank you! After attempting to call a pizza joint near the house and being sent to voicemail 6 times, and then trying 2 other pizza places that were too overly packed to wait...This place was a lifesaver!! Not only was the food delicious, but they knew how to work as a team to get the lines moving, people their food, all while providing great service! I will definitely be back!!
