We ordered 2 pizza's, picked them up and got back to where we were vacationing and one was the wrong one. Parking is very limited so we had to park where we could and walk back, and wait while they made a new one. That night my husband and I were both sick, the kids ate the cheese pizza and... more

This pizza has gotta be the best pizza in town. Hand tossed in the store and the chicks are cute behind the counter. Little patio, beer and pizza...you can't beat it. more

The portions were generous and their menu has some fabulous New York attitude. The pizza itself was so thin and limp and I had to fold the slice in half to eat it. more

It's about time we got a freakin' New York-style pizzeria in SoCal that actually tastes like New York pizza: thin crust, good sauce, perfect balance of cheese and toppings--good stuff. I just got back from Queens where there are a good number of terrific pizzerias. It feels good to know where I can go to get a slice in Carlsbad.... more

Spent my entire life in NYC. Won't eat pizza any place else. A friend convinced my to try the pizza at Knockout. I was totally surprised how close it was to thin sliced New York Pizza. Patrick, the owner, explained that they only used the highest quality ingredients and bottled water, with mineral content similar to NYC water. The main... more

Their excellent pizza is already made. You just go in, they heat it up, and your good to go! The feta spinich pizza is my favorite! Their salads are great ,too, filled with baby spinich and mozzerella! A slice of pizza and salad for only $5. Best lunch spot in Carlsbad. more

There are two outstanding schools of thought involving pizza in our little town of Carlsbad: the thick Chicago-style that's served by Pizza Port, and the crunchy, NYC-style thin variety served by Knockout. Two slices and a drink for $5... is it lunchtime yet? more
