Pacific Pizza (Poway)

mmm-yoso!!!, a blog about food.  Cathy is writing today, Kirk's exciting Labor Day weekend has been extended a bit.

The Mister and I shop about once a month at the Atlas World Fresh Market in the Poway shopping center located in the triangle shaped mall surrounded by Pomerado Road, Twin Peaks Road and Ted Williams Parkway in Poway.  Atlas has a small 'Food Hall' area with Persian, Korean, Indian and a few other choices, which we are slowly trying out, depending on what is open when we shop.  Sometimes we don't want to eat there.

We noticed this signage for Pacific Pizza about seven weeks ago and finally dropped in.   Locally owned, family run, this small shop has four picnic tables for indoor seating as well as a couple of small tables out front. 
The menu is simple, with pizzas, slices, salads, pastas, sandwiches, wings and a few other things, including Calzone and Stromboli.  You may recall my Stromboli-Calzone comparison post from ten years ago..or not. 
A small Greek salad (technically sized for one person, but the bowl is deep, toppings are plenty and we share) ($5).  Fresh ingredients and a good balsamic dressing. 
We ordered a calzone ($12.99, includes two toppings-we chose mushrooms and sausage)(additional toppings are $1.25 each and I don't think are necessary, since the cheesy mozzarella, parmesan and ricotta alone is great and would get 'diluted' with too many additions). 
 Two sides of fresh made marina also came with the calzone.  That white stuff is a piece of garlic, which, along with the chunky tomato pieces is a pleasure to eat alone or with the calzone.  You can see the thin delicate crust, which was brushed with garlic butter and herbs.  This calzone was quite wonderful.  

People were ordering slices, some lunch specials, sandwiches, salads and pizzas while we were in here. One large delivery was being taken out when we walked in.

I hope Pacific Pizza does well; they are serving quality food and everyone working is patient, polite and friendly.

I like the look of that calzone crust!

There are five different salads to choose from and this Greek one was really good, Kat.

Excellent crust, cc. Very thin and crispy- the corners were thickest and had a good 'chew' and flavor. Fresh is everything!

Thanks Cathy. The Indian place in Atlas closed a while ago. Replaced by another Persian place, albeit with different offerings than the other two Persian places.

Yes, RD, there are quite a few changes inside the Food Court at Atlas each month. I can't really do a post from there and so just shop(great prices and interesting variety), enjoy whatever is available and leave. Pacific Pizza should last a while; the owners and workers seem to really be invested in their storefront and product quality.
