Pizza Shuttle

Underrated pizza....

Located along Tamarack Rd in the small strip mall between the Rite Aid and Von's supermarket.

So unsure what was for dinner one night and really unmotivated to cook dinner, I thought giving Shuttle Pizza a try might be a great idea since it is always busy.

We grabbed the Veggie Pizza and a meatball sub. Both were a pleasant surprise, with fresh ingredients and the pizza base and bread for the sub being well made.

No complaints here, the service was good and the pricing was reasonable. If you have kids they have a done of those quarter slot egg toys to keep them busy while you shop or wait.

Overall
Food: 4-5
Service: 4-5
Coming back: yes

After an extremely long day and being indecisive on what to eat for dinner, unfortunately the clock almost ran out to where my only options was fast food. So thankfully this place is still open relatively late on weekdays.

You can place your pizza order online, but after it seemed to be complicated and time consuming, I just called over there and literally placed an order in less than 30 seconds! Told me it would take 10-15 minutes, which was perfect timing for me to just drive over there.

Pizza had a good thickness with the perfect sauce to cheese ratio, but I wish they amped up the pizza with some more flavor. The pizza is inexpensive as well and is definitely a lot better than most chained pizza places!

As I was nannying two teenagers, I got hungry. So I decided the best option was to order some pizza because I knew the kids would help me eat it. I yelped the area and this was the 1st place on the list. I have past by the store before, I frequent the Rite Aid and it's right next door. I wasn't going to order from them because of the ratings, but found them to be the cheapest option. Their Monday special was a large pizza, 1 topping for $8.35.

I gave them a rang, the guy on the phone said it was gonna be $9.00, no delivery fee. Sweet! Hence why the place gets three stars, instead of two. Delivery time was reasonable as well, within 40 minutes the pizza arrived. Great deal, $9.00 + tip for a delivered pizza.

Well the pie came uncut. WHO DOESN'T SLICE UP A PIZZA OR THEIR CUSTOMER?! Pizza itself was not the greatest. Hard crust. The only reason I would order from here again is because of how cheap it was.

Searched Yelp for a Pizza joint that delivers in the Carlsbad area and stumbled across Pizza Shuttle. I ordered a "well done" Small Veggie Pizza (Onions, Olives, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, $10) w/side of Ranch and Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce ($.75).

The Pizza was delivered within 35-40 minutes after I placed the order....not bad for a Saturday night! The Pizza was cooked "well done" just like I asked...perfect! The Crust is semi-thick, a "tweener", and was cooked well....it was fluffy and held up the toppings well. The toppings were fresh and full of flavor....especially the Mushrooms. I like it when the Mushrooms are cut razor thin and have that sharp flavor to them...which what they put on this Pizza....yum!

Overall, it was a great Pizza and I thought $10 was cheap for the quality of ingredients and service.

Return Factor - 90%

After coming home from the beach, a few friends were in the mood for some pizza, and I was up for it too. I had seen this place in the Community Guide that residents get with advertisements of local restaurants with coupons, and wanted to try this place out. I checked it out real quick on Yelp, and decided to try it out. I called in the order, and while they said 30-40 minutes, if arrived in 25 minutes. Quick service...nice.

Ordered a regular with Pepperoni, and a white pie with pepperoni/mushrooms/green peppers. I really liked the white pie, as it came with a butter garlic base, instead of the marinara sauce. I have to admit, I didn't even get to try the other pie as I filled up on the white pie. Everyone else said the pepperoni tasted good. The crust wasn't too thick, but still plenty crispy. The pizza tasted real good, and will come back again, and just ask for a thicker crust.

They may have been around since the 90's, but I only started coming here maybe in 2004. My prior go to pizza spot was KPFM and as when I became an adult I came to Carlsbad more often. They have been around WAYYYYY longer than the dozen places that popped up since 2011 (Port, That, Rev, Blaze, Red, Pieology, KO, Sammy's Crust, Allen's)

They have seen it all. Business' nearby come and go, I've seen staff grow up and leave I've seen Carlsbad change as well. I'm updating my draft on this because they are being evicted by their landlords for a Subway so I figured I'd finish before they close.

My favorite pie is the white pie, mushrooms, peppers, garlic butter (though the garlic isn't that pronounced). I also like their classic Pepperoni. What people like most is that they are fast, they are local, they deliver and are inexpensive. Monday Madness has $10L is the way to go. It's pretty hard to beat. Ok so the crust can be a tad hard to get right, the thin version is usually overcooked, while the standard version can be dry, maybe that's why the parm crust is so popular. I can't put my finger on if it's too much yeast or old dough, but you gotta eat it quick or use dip. I like the chicken broccoli ranch shuttle sprinkled with a little red sauce. The key is consistency as you can get wildly varied pizza's.

Their appetizers are pretty meh as to truly do wings, poppers and mozzarella stix you need a fryer. Salad's are forgettable, garlic bread is pretty good thought.

I actually get subs about half the time except when I use a special. The Italian sub is actually good, but the bread isn't ctusty enough, but at least it doesn't fall apart. The grinder is the Italian, but bot and with marinara sauce, ditch the red onions on this one.

It's a shame to see them go. If you live within a mile of here you really should be coming here despite the entire shopping center falling apart I hate to see corporate green push out M&P Shops.

Oh boy! If I could I wouldn't even give this place a star. I am no pizza snob! I lived in Chicago for awhile and I have to say pizza is just pizza but what we had delivered to us the other night was the worst pizza I had ever eaten.

We ordered the meat pizza, mozzarella sticks and garlic bread.

The pizza was burnt, the meat was uneatable and there was no sauce. (I said light sauce I didn't know that meant no sauce)

The sticks tasted like freezer, like that had freezer burn and they were cooked anyway.

And the garlic bread was frozen tasting too.

We had been swimming all day and nobody wanted to make dinner pizza sounded good so we ordered from here. Never again. Never ever again.

(Oh, and that night most of us were sick to our stomachs) No thanks.

Started ordering from here because it was close and they have solid food. My wife loves the sandwiches and I love the pizza

Got delivery today and the pizza wasn't up to there normal standards. Called and the manager said no problem and sent a brand new pizza to us.

It's one thing to make good food any it's another to have a great customer service. Well pizza shuttle has both. Highly recommend it

Incredibly surprised at the 4 star average of a place that sells Ellios old school kid pizzas. I live very nearby and dislike the shopping center (except the Vons) as a whole../ especially the pizza place. I've tried it about 4-5 times each time scratching my head. I swear I was pulling for this place. But- 2 terribly presented and oversauced pizzas and 2 completely amateur sandwiches, I've gone for the last time. It's either delivery from Knockout or your regular mainstream places.
Take a look at the menu and the endless deals they have. It's says it all. The presentation signifies what you should expect about the quality of this place. Again, it's just sad that a main exit off the 5 has only this to offer as a reputable pizza place. It's sad. Some of my friends enjoy it.. But they also don't mind average food.

Pizza Shuttle is a great go-to for delivery pizza. Their product is solid, with specialty and basic pizzas available. They quickly deliver and have been very nice throughout the experience. I especially enjoy their broccoli shuttle! The only drawback I see is that they do not offer any discounts on their specialty pizzas.
