Pizza Union 823 West San Marcos Boulevard, San Marcos, CA 92078

"Moved to San Marcos in September and hadn’t been able to find a pizza that meets east coast standards until I ordered from pizza union. This is what pizza is supposed to be. Great crust, perfect sauce to cheese ratio and tastes like the full flavor of a real old school NY style pie. Now the weekly pizza night spot for us."

"A Slice of Heaven at Pizza Union: An Unforgettable Experience Nestled within a large shopping center, Pizza Union may be hidden, but it's certainly worth the search. Parking was a breeze, thanks to the ample space available in the shopping center lot, setting the stage for a hassle-free visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendly staff, who wasted no time in ensuring that my pizza cravings were swiftly satisfied. In a mere three minutes, I was presented with two piping hot slices of pizza, accompanied by two delectable garlic knots and a refreshing water. Opting for the Hello Pesto and Buffalo Chicken slices, I was immediately struck by the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The New York-style crust, boasting a perfect balance of crispiness and chewiness, surpassed all expectations. While I hesitate to say it's better than New York style (don't hate me, New Yorkers!), I must admit, this crust was truly exceptional. The toppings, from the vibrant pesto to the flavorful buffalo chicken, were bursting with flavor and complemented the savory cheese beautifully. However, the true revelation came in the form of the garlic knots. Crispy on the outside, yet pillowy soft on the inside, each bite was a symphony of garlic butter goodness that left me craving more. In conclusion, Pizza Union has truly mastered the art of pizza-making, offering a culinary experience that is nothing short of heavenly. My heartfelt thanks to Audrey and the entire team for their hospitality and impeccable service. With slices this delicious, I have no doubt that I'll be back for more."

"Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon and had the two slice/drink special. What a deal and good pizza. We ended up ordering a whole pizza to go. Nice to get a deal on food with the way food prices have been. We'll definitely be back."

"Buddy and I went to Union Pizza. Hands down the best pizza I've had in California. They had a deal to get two slices and a drink for $7. Buffalo pizza was so good. Guy manning the oven with the beard was very nice. Asked how our food was, and it came out super quickly. Amazing service. Also had free cheese, pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning, whereas other places charge you. There's a domino's in this strip mall. Don't go there. The pizza here is too good to miss out on."

"It was Friday morning, just past 11am, when we stepped into Pizza Union in San Marcos. As we entered, our senses were immediately greeted by the inviting aroma of pizzas. Prepping in the kitchen stood Chris, friendly and hardworking, meticulously adding mouthwatering pizzas to the 'by the slice' rack that was sitting on top of the counter. His warm smile and genuine hospitality set the tone for what would be a delightful pizza experience. We were eager to explore the offerings and Chris wasted no time in sharing the specials of the day. Among them was a tantalizing Buffalo Chicken Pizza that immediately piqued our interest. He also mentioned the enticing 2 slice and a drink lunch special, which we couldn't resist taking advantage of. Our curiosity was piqued, and we decided to sample a slice of the Buffalo Chicken Pizza alongside a classic Pepperoni slice. We held off on warming them up at that time so we could enjoy them at home later on. Later that night, I gently crisped up the slices in the oven, watching as the tantalizing aromas enveloped our kitchen, building the excitement for the first bite. The first slice we savored was the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Not a slice choice I'd generally make but Chris's enthusiastic recommendation had us intrigued, and we were grateful we followed his lead. The moment we took our first bite, we knew we had made the right decision. The crust, with its satisfying crispiness, provided a perfect foundation for the symphony of flavors that followed. The combination of zesty buffalo sauce and creamy ranch dressing atop the slice created a harmonious dance of spiciness and savory indulgence on our taste buds. The delightful contrast of tender chunks of chicken and sliced banana peppers added bursts of texture that elevated the slice to extraordinary heights. Next up was the classic Pepperoni slice, and it proved that simplicity can be downright extraordinary. The crust, once again taking center stage, was a testament to the Chris. It boasted a delicate balance of chewiness and crispiness that perfectly complemented the rich tomato sauce, generous layers of gooey cheese, and the tantalizing pepperoni slices. Each bite was a celebration of pizza perfection, a harmonious blend of timeless flavors that made it a slice to remember. Both slices passed the fold test with flying colors. In the end, what truly set Pizza Union apart was not just the delectable pizzas but also the vibrant and welcoming vibe created by Chris. Chris's passion, genuine enthusiasm, and the seamless blend of flavors all contributed to an unforgettable pizza experience. For pizza enthusiasts seeking a quick and memorable flavor-packed adventure, Pizza Union in San Marcos is a must-visit location. The artistry of their pizzas, coupled with the warm hospitality and great prices, ensure that every visit will leave you eagerly looking forward to the next slice."
