Pizzicato Gourmet Pizza - Encinitas

Che bello!! Three Italians opened a pizza shop for us in Encinitas, and after nearly one year of residing in this glorious city, we have found the gem of pizza that has been missing from our lives (and I haven't tasted since my days in New York). Welcome to the last pizza you'll have to order! Except for Mondays when they're closed, this is your new go to. Buon appetito!

Place made it through covid, should give you a little hint. Talk to the owner he opened up right before the pandemic hit. Super nice guy and hospitable. Made several suggestions to me and my boys we appreciate it all of them. Have been back several times.

Authentic Italian pizza! Sooo good! I don't think there is a better authentic Italian pizza place in San Diego and I'm so happy it's right here in Encinitas. I haven't had pizza like this since I was in Italy. It's absolutely delicious. I will come back and try other dishes. As others mentioned the owner is Italian with the accent and all. Can't wait to come back. (Note the weekday hours start at noon). Grazie!

This place is amazing! The pizza was delicious, as well as the arugula salad. My brother and I used to live in Italy for years and we are so happy to find such amazing Italian pizza close by. Cannot wait to come back here again. Filippo, the owner, was super nice and made sure we had a great experience. Couldn’t recommend enough!

This was a great find! The pizza dough and toppings were so fresh! Our arugula salad was excellent and tasty. Tiramisu was perfect. I liked it so much on Wednesday that I came back with another friend on Friday! : Soexcited to have found a fairly priced fresh Italian restaurant in Encinitas. FINALLY!
