Reviews
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 addictive.
And everything just feels done with care — not rushed, not sloppy.
Even for someone with slightly elevated, slightly French, slightly dramatic taste (guilty), it absolutely delivers.
And the service? Smooth. Friendly. Effortless. The kind of energy that makes you want to stay for one more drink… or dessert… or both.
Now I understand why Oleg keeps disappearing there for lunch. I thought he was exaggerating. He was not.
Let’s just say… I’ll be joining him more often.
Best Pizza & Brew — you’ve officially impressed me.
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.
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 they’re doing.
Wine selection is excellent too. Not overwhelming, just smart, tasteful choices that actually match the vibe.
But what truly made this visit unforgettable was Mari, the manager. In many years of traveling, restaurants, and business meetings, I rarely meet someone with that level of presence. She is so professional and super cute, yet clearly business-oriented with strong, confident character — the kind of person who elevates an entire establishment just by being there. Absolutely stunning, naturally beautiful, yet incredibly professional, sharp, and genuinely kind.
She helped me charge my half-dead Segway right at the bar without hesitation — who does that? That alone saved my night. She even convinced me to order a properly crafted non-alcoholic drink so I don’t look like some lost Red Bull kid at the bar. That level of awareness and hospitality is rare.
To whoever reads this from ownership or management — take care of Mari. Ensure she gets an immediate raise and an Employee of the Month badge effective immediately. I insist. People like her are the reason customers come back.
Mari represents what hospitality is supposed to be — effortless, intelligent, warm, and real.
This place is not pretending to be great. It simply is.
10 stars. Easy. One love. God bless.
Their service was friendly, quick, and genuinely appreciated. If you want great food, great drinks, and staff who actually make the experience better, definitely ask for Malia and Isaac. They made my visit awesome.
Highly recommend!
