About

Corner Pizza on South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district is the fourth location of the Brooklyn-style pizzeria brand from the same ownership group behind Valentina restaurant on Encinitas Boulevard. The menu shares the same Bakers Pride Y-602 gas deck oven format and tight build-your-own platform as the Leucadia original, drawing from the same kitchen philosophy that produced sister concept Moto Deli on Encinitas Boulevard. Signature pies include the Killer Bee -- tomato sauce, mozzarella, gorgonzola, soppressata, pepperoni, rosemary, and house-made chili honey -- alongside a raw bar offering oysters and Littleneck clams as pre-pizza starters. The concept pairs its pizza with a curated wine list and oyster program unusual for a counter-service format, positioning it closer to a wine-bar hybrid than a standard slice shop on the same South Coast Highway strip that includes Honey's Bistro & Bakery. The Margherita Burrata tops a hand-stretched crust with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, whole burrata, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh basil, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano fired in the Y-602 deck oven.
