Whenever I visit, the owner greets me with a smile and always takes the time to chat with me. Not only is the atmosphere inviting, but the pizza is delicious- thin crust, fresh ingredients, authentic style.

Definitely NOT NY pizza, a sin to compare. Dough was dry, dense, tasteless. Dressing for Caesar salad is just as tasteless unfortunately, missing anchovies. Won’t return.

What a great pie, simple and just the right amount of tang and sweetness in the sauce. No flop, crust is crispy What else can you ask for?!

Best pizza in San Diego Hands down. Very authentic NY experience too , The owner knows what he has, so don’t upset him unless you wanna be on the “No S̶o̶u̶p̶ pizza for you come back 2 years” list respect the pizza maker worth every carb. ❤ ❤

East Coast Pizza in Cardiff is way better and worth the value. Hammers tries to be nuanced by having limited hours and over-pricing, but it tastes like NYC 99cent street pizza.

I tried Hammer’s Pizza for the first time on Friday this week, and it was so good I came back on Saturday afternoon for some more pizza. The best NY pizza I’ve tasted on the West Coast. Prices are very fair. The Hammer is a very personable proprietor and eager to please his customers. Hammer is also passionate about creating an excellent NY pizza. The rest of Hammer’s menu looks just as good and I’m looking forward to trying those items as well. I’m a big fan of Hammer’s pizza and I love to support small businesses like Hammer’s Pizza dedicated to their talent of creating excellent food and providing excellent customer service. Thank you Hammer!

Great NY style slices here. Thin, crispy crust and full of flavor similar to the east coast. Had the plain slice and pepperoni, really liked plain the best and would recommend. Owner is a good hard working guy. Will be back next time in town.

If you like NY style pizza, look no further. You’ll even get the NY experience in the shop. If you are looking for frills, this is not your place. If you are looking for legit NY pies, you’ll never go anywhere else.

This hit the spot! I love the crispy (not burnt) bottom, chewy firm cheese (stays on the slice) and crunch again at the top. Foldablity and sauce flavor was just what I’ve been searching for since moving to North County. I’m not from NYC, been there had the pizza though and I know what I like! HAMMER’S NY PIZZA is for me…..easy choice.

I been vacationing in San Diego area from Az last 15 yrs to visit my baby sister living in southern Ca. Originally grew up in Philly…NYC area. Always trying out new food places that open up in this area. Discovered Hammers NY style pizza in Encinitas. BEST NY style pizza I’ve ever tasted in all of San Diego. I dont usually write in reviews. This place Hammers NY style pizza…is the exception. This guy has the correct ingedients down to the science of that New York taste I remember and Love so well. Dough is thin..perfect crunch outside…yet soft cooked dough on inside. Ingredients is perfectly blended that makes your taste buds scream for more. (I drove back very next day from San Marcos to Encinitas to have more of this tasty pizza). Yeah….that good. I highly recommend this place if you like that authentic NY style pizza. Owner (Hammer) is originally from NYC…(which made sense to me) very personable person who takes pride in his skills and product he puts out to serve others…prices are very reasonable. A must try….if you know NY style pizza. Great place!
