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 ExperienceNestled 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.

First and last time I order from this pizza place, sadly since I support small businesses ? pizza was chewy and the knots were old dough also plastic texture didn’t eat them. I got fooled by website. Wish to get my money

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.

This place is great! Definitely the thinnest crust I’ve ever had, which was a welcome experience. We got a strombolli and two slices of pizza, and everything was very good. It was about $20 total and a lot of food for 2 people — it could have fed 3.

Closest thing you're going to get to New York style Pizza in San Marcos period. Only problem is they're not always open. Extremely odd hours, and not open on Sundays and Mondays.

I recently had the pleasure of picking up a couple of pies from Pizza Union, a charming pizza joint that has mastered the art of New York style pizza. From the moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly baked dough and savory toppings set the stage for an unforgettable experience.Chris takes a lot of pride in his craft. My wife is from New York and she said it's the only authentic New York pizza in North County. One standout feature of Pizza Union is their commitment to using the finest and freshest ingredients. The tomatoes in the sauce burst with a natural sweetness, and the cheese has that perfect gooey, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The toppings are diverse and plentiful, catering to every palate. Whether you're a fan of classic pepperoni, a veggie lover, or someone who enjoys bold and unique combinations, Pizza Union has you covered.
Best pizza in San Marcos by FAR! Support this place, great

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.

I must give kudos ... the hard working couple always want to do their best, are both very hard working, caring and kind.This is our go to for take out pizza - which we tried several types of their pizzas. Tonight we had a pizza with sausage and ricotta - simply right on and delicious.My personal opinion is that their pizza is the best in the area.
