Mike at Spiritos brought Italy to Carlsbad! Amazing food, very quickly, and reasonable priced. Over time (I used to work around the corner), I've tried almost everything on the menu, and it's all been satisfying! But, if you're going to try here, you must try the Pizza. It's one of the best I've ever had!

The thin crust pizza was excellent, not too salty. They offered fresh bread to start and it was excellent. We sat outside on the patio, they had heaters on low... just right.

I have been eating at Spiritos for more than 20 years. The pizza is the best I have tasted in Southern California. It is New York/New Jersey thin crust which is like the pizza I ate growing up. The rest of the menu is also excellent. Prices are more than reasonable. There is little ambiance in this small location but... More

I was looking for Spiritos but instead found Gregorios....ends up the name has changed but the food is still the same (i.e. EXCELLENT). The pizza (for the kids) was great and my eggplant parm was to die for. I had the choice of plain pasta or ravioli to go w/the eggplant.... it was my good fortune to choose ravioli because... More

I am an east coast guy born and raised, and Spirito's is the best NY style pizza in San Diego -- better than Bronx, URBN, Knockout, Basic, Leucadia, etc., and I have had them all! Spirito's excellent sauce extends to exactly the right place on the delicious dough, there is the perfect amount of mozzarella, not-too-salty and correct amount of... More

Mike Spirito's uncles and cousins operate a legendary Italian Restaurant in New Jersey. Patrons come from all over New Jersey to eat there. Spirito's in Carlsbad serves pizzas and pasta that are equally as good. Although the restaurant is not so easy to find for first timers, the food is worth the effort. If you like New Jersey pizza (thin,... More

The owner used to own Gregorio's. I'm not sure if this address is correct. This is a very small place in a strip mall. Food is just as good as when they were located in the heart of Carlsbad. Fantastic eggplant parmesan. My mom thinks it's the best and when she orders it other places compares it to Spiritos. Pizza... More

This is a great restaurant with wonderful food and great service. I believe the name has changed since new owners purchased. It is located on Carlsbad Village Drive, upstairs on the corner of a shopping area. Great wines!
