About

As the original Leucadia location of the Brooklyn-style pizzeria concept, Corner Pizza on North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas has anchored the stretch between Leucadia Boulevard and La Costa Avenue since 2020. An in-house raw bar serves oysters and Littleneck clams alongside a rotating wine list, a pre-pizza pairing format more typical of a wine bar than the standard beer-and-slice setup at most Leucadia corridor spots like The Regal Seagull. The 1,300-square-foot space occupies the former Umi Japanese restaurant site and features a black-and-white minimalist interior with indoor and outdoor seating and a Bakers Pride Y-602 gas deck oven visible from the counter. The concise menu runs six to eight pizza builds plus salads and appetizers, favoring quality depth over the broad-format approach of Leucadia's organic and health-focused restaurants like Haggo's Organic Taco further north on the 101. The Killer Bee combines tomato sauce, mozzarella, gorgonzola, soppressata, pepperoni, and rosemary under a house-made chili honey drizzle fired in the Y-602 deck oven for a thin, foldable Brooklyn-style crust.
