Pizza Fusion

1^st was good. 2bd time was even better! Salad good. Pizza was outstanding. Staff remembered us and the salad we ordered the 1^st time. I’m impressed! Will definitely make it a 3^rd time. So sad… out of business…

Love this place! So sad it shut down! :(

Gotta love the whole saving the earth theme, being eco friendly, and a menu variety that has a lot of healthier, organic foods and foods that cater to special dietary needs (gluten, lactose free, vegan, vegetarian)
What’s not to love is the price value for your meal and sorry to say .ugh…the pizza and appetizer I tried. The combinations all sound great, it’s just the crust and tomato sauce I wasn’t too crazy about. I tried the Founders Pie that was recommended by the server. The toppings were chicken, kalamata olives, red onions and 4 cheeses (mozz, provo, parm and Gorgonzola) and also tried the Farmers Market one with 3 cheeses (mozz, provo and parm) roasted artichoke hearts, zucchini and portobello. Both times I tasted the pizza I wasn’t too thrilled with the sauce on it. It was too thick and pasty, just like the one that comes out of a can. Too much olives made it even saltier tasting and the multigrain crust was too dry and tasteless. The cheeses and veggies were good and that’s about it.

Then there’s the appetizer I ordered. The zucchini alforno. .roasted zucchini with vegetarian stuffing, when I asked what was that, my server said it was an olive tapenade. Sound good to me, Iove zucchini and olives so go for it Shirl! When the order was placed on my table, it sure didnt look visually appetizing, not one bit. Took a bite and blech! Zuchinni wasnt roasted enough, still too crunchy and the vegetarian dip was just straight up gross. Too vinegary for my palate I guess.
On a positive note, the only thing I ordered that I like the first time I tried and came back for and ordered again, is the Pear Gorgonzola salad! Arugula and Romaine salad greens were cold and crisp, love the candied walnuts and the crunchy sweet pears that topped the salad. The salad was the only winner.

Staff was friendly but service was a hit and miss both times. Didn’t know if it was seat yourself or wait to be seated. Felt ignored the first time around with the waiter/​host not acknowledging my existence for a good minute. When I finally caught his attention he just pointed to a table for me to be waited at. Took another few minutes till I put in my request for a drink. then order main meal. My food came out pretty quick. Second time, around, different staff, I was greeted as soon as walked in the door, and got waited promptly, food came out quick but then my server was MIA and I had wanted to order another drink but he didnt show up till it was time to present the check, oh well.
I dont order pizza much anyways when I go to pizza joints but with the mediocore service issues I dont think it’s enough for me come back as often as I would like to come to get a salad. That’s too bad, they have a nice concept going.

This pizza joint was smaller than I expected, but packed plenty of punch in the taste department. Service was friendly and efficient. Availability of alternative dough for your pizza flatbread was nice (options: traditional, multigrain and gluten-​free).
Founder’s Pie: Free range chicken, kalamata olives, roasted red onion, tomato sauce, parmesan, mozzarella, provolone and gorgonzola. It has a good combination of ingredients, and is highly recommended.
Tuscan Steak and Gorgonzola: Steak, gorgonzola, tri-​color peppers, roasted red onions, parsley, tomato sauce, mozzarella, provalone and parmesan. This was okay, the beef on the pizza does not resemble those on the photo on the web site, and is more than cooked. Otherwise, the flavors are good.
Appetizer: Tried the Stuffed Mushrooms. Each order comes with six, and is a delicious treat for your mouth.
Décor: ⁴⁄₅ It does reminds me of IKEA plastic furnitures.
Food: 4.5÷5 Good flavor profiles on the pizzas we ordered.
Service: 4.5÷5 No complaint here.
Parking: ⁴⁄₅ Plentiful.
Price: 3.5÷5 A wee on the $$ side, but you get what you pay for in terms of yumminess.

Finally tried Pizza Fusion yesterday… well, we kinda had to since the Groupon voucher expires today… So glad I purchased the voucher because the pizzas were delish!
–Appetizer: Stuffed mushrooms — I don’t enjoy italian sausage because of the strong fennel seed, but Pizza Fusion got it right. The mushrooms were stuffed with italian sausage, topped with creamy goat cheese. The goat cheese cut down the fennel seed taste and it was an awesome combination. There were a total of six stuffed mushrooms.
–½ Fusion House Salad: It’s a typical salad…
–Big Kahuna: bacon overload and several pieces of organic pineapple, very yummy. We got this on original crust. We both enjoyed this pizza.
–Pear and Gorgonzola: Winner! We got this on the multi-​grain crust. There were walnuts on this pizza and this is sooooo good.
We also got the organic soda, a zero cola and orange cream soda. The zero cola tasted watered down, no bueno, but the orange cream soda was tasty.
Will we come back… Heck yeah! True, it’s pretty pricey, but lucky for us, we don’t eat pizza often. However, when we do crave for pizza, we will definitely have Pizza Fusion on the top of our list.

We had, as I’m sure many others did, the groupon. We ordered a big kahuna and the steak and gorgonzola for our pizzas, and the stuffed mushroom appetizer. The salad was a typical salad, but the croûton was large, thin and clearly homemade. It was a nice departure from the super market squares you typically get. The stuffed mushrooms tasted mostly of sausage, which was the main ingredient. So, no issues there.
The pizzas were excellent. The only complaint was my wife thought the big kahuna had «too much bacon.» I told her that’s not a thing. I loved it, but a few more pineapple pieces would have been good. The steak/​gorgonzola was also excellent. Crispy fresh peppers and a substantial amount of steak. I could use more cheese, but what dish couldn’t use more blue cheese?
This place is not close to us, but it’s worth the drive. We will be back.
Also, the 2 servers I dealt with were fantastic. Very very friendly.

Food was excellent. Got a groupon to try them out (2 large pizza, half house salad and an appetizer).
So we ordered half/​half on both our pizza. Half Big Kahuna/​Half Tuscan Steak & Gorgonzola, Half 4 Cheese & Sun-​dried Tomato/​Half same but with pepperoni, house salad, stuffed mushroom and for desert the chocolate hazelnut crostata.
Everything tasted delish.
I will have to say that, if you go here for dinner, make sure you are not «starving marvin» or in a pinch for time. This is a small tiny place with about only 3 workers. 2 cooks and 1 main guy as the waiter. The place gets pretty packed and we were there for a total of 2 hrs, half the time waiting on service and our order.
It is a bit pricey. If I didn’t have a groupon, my total after tax and tips would’ve came out to about $ 70 but since I had a groupon and I only had $ 7 extra to pay, after tax & tip I paid a total of $ 36. Not too bad for all that great yummy food.

Would’ve gave 4 stars but the service here was horrible. We came on a Monday night (not busy). We ordered a lg pep pizza, small eggplant pizza and Caesar salad. This place doesn’t have soda machines so just bottled drinks (no refills). Our total came to $ 37.00 — I noticed other tables had a groupon, that would have been better but oh well we didn’t have one. Food was good but the waiter guy was just such a moody… well yeah. Anyway, doubt we will be back as we really were just trying to find a place to have dinner since we were having a crêpe from next door for dessert.

We love the beet and feta salad!
The blond young waitress was loud and rude, texting, boasting that she made $ 102 in tips on a Wed, took money out of the register to get a coffee from next door, loud, swearing, proud that her rent check bounced and she pays less to her bills because at least then she feels like an adult (nope cannot make this up), trying to not drink for at least two days… hello all in front of my 8 year old…
Guess I will be making my own beat & feta salad!

–1 star off the bat for customer service when I walked in to get my TAKEOUT order! It’s never a good thing when they are not friendly from the minute you walk in the door.
Aside from that, love their motto. This place offers thin thin crust, so know that from the start!

I really like the feel of this place, kind of has that new age organic feel but isn’t too trendy or take itself too seriously. So you get the benefit of fresh ingredients that actually taste like they are supposed to without the Birkenstocks and ponchos. First bonus was that they had Samuel Adams Octoberfest on tap and served nicely chilled. For my non beer drinker friend they had an excellent Aces Cider. This isn’t your fast food Pizza Hut pizza quickly thrown together with bagged ingredients, for the record i do enjoy stuffed crust pizza.
We ordered the classic pepperoni, pear and Gorgonzola and the big kahuna. By far the best pizza was the big kahuna and I’m not normally a Hawaiian pizza kind of guy but this was awesome. They used generous amounts of bacon on top of all the fresh ingredients including pineapple, red onion with provolone, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
The Pepperoni was excellent due to it being real pepperoni and not that greasy cheap stuff you find hanging in the grocery store. And the surprise of the nigh was the Pear and Gorgonzola pizza. I’m a meat eater by nature but this was a tasty treat that flowed well together for my tastes. In a group of six only two weren’t too impressed with it and it was due to the Gorgonzola cheese being an acquired taste. So if your looking to try something new in the pizza world this would be a highly recommended place to visit.

I actually like this place a lot. The portions were generous and the food kept well in a to go container. My girl had a Groupon, so we saved a lot by using that. My gorgonzola and steak pizza was very good and even though I have a hearty appetite, I was only able to eat three slices before throwing in the towel and asking for a box to go.

Some friends and I wanted to get some pizza after Crêpe Shack next door (yes, dessert before dinner) and this place looked awesome. Really clean interior, great décor, and they served beer. Woo!
We walked in and the restaurant was mostly empty on a Friday night. No one was at the host stand so we waited by there and chatted. When a dirty blonde-​haired worker walked by with a beer we asked if they sold pizza by the slice. He didn’t even look in our direction and gave us a condescending, «No. No, we do not.» Um, okay. We chatted about whether or not to eat for another minute or two and when he walked by us again he didn’t even look our way. Didn’t offer us a menu, a seat, anything.
At that point, we decided to bounce. I would rather my money go towards someplace that doesn’t have rude service. Sucks, too, because I was really interested in trying some vegan pizza and making this a part of my going out rotation.

They have a well-​intentioned concept which I appreciate, but it wasn’t as good as I had hoped.
I purchased the Groupon for Pizza Fusion recently and decided to come here with my fella on Sunday for lunch. We started with a salad and meatball sliders. We had our hearts set on stuffed mushrooms, but they were out. The salad was pretty sad. The lettuce was dry and the toppings were sparse. The dressing that came on the side was ok, but on this rare occasion, I wish the dressing came on top of the salad, so that it could have absorbed the flavors a little better. The meatball sliders were ok. The bread was a bit dry, but I enjoyed the meatballs and the tomato sauce, so ate the filling out of the sandwiches.
For our entrees, I ordered the founder’s special pizza and my fella settled on the tuscan steak and gorgonzola pizza. When the pizzas came out, I felt really overwhelmed. They were ENORMOUS! I was only able to eat about one slice before getting full. My fella only had about three and was done. That left about 1 ¾ pizzas left to take home with us. The steak and gorgonzola was pretty good. The meat was a little dry, but the pizza had good flavors and I really enjoy their tomato sauce. It has a sweeter taste than most pizza places, but it was nice. My pizza was a little heavy on the kalamata olives. I’m usually a big fan of olives, but all the flavors were overwhelmed with olive that I couldn’t really enjoy anything else about the pizza. The chicken was a bit dry as well. If I came back, I’d avoid the olives. Actually, the pizzas tasted a lot more moist and flavorful after letting them sit in their to go boxes for a little bit, weirdly.
All in all, we had a good dining experience and next time I’ll be prepared for leftovers or bring some friends to share with me next time!

For what this place is doing, they are doing a very good job. I know a lot of people are very particular about their style of pizza whether it be New York or Chicago, thick crust or thin. Pizza Fusion is doing their own kind of style based on Organic ingredients. They offer a pretty decent multi-​grain crust as well as gluten-​free options.
I purchased the Groupon for this place which was two large pizzas, one appetizer, and half a house salad for $ 20. What a deal! We had the Founders on Multi-​Grain and the Steak and Gorgonzola on their regular crust. I would be very proud of myself if I could make a multi-​grain crust like theirs. It was very good without tasting too grainy. The Founders was good but it was lacking a little flavor but the olives were a nice touch. The Steak and Gorgonzola had a lot going on and was very tasty. The crust was more like a baked pita than pizza crust but again, this is what they’re going for, I think.
Overall it was a great eating experience. Especially for the price we paid. I never really looked at the prices but was told later that they are around $ 20 per pizza. That seems a little steep to me but they run some great specials Mon-​Thurs that include free pizzas, ½ price drinks, etc. I would go back with another Groupon but not sure if I would pay full price. In my opinion, any pizza over $ 17 is pretty expensive. However, if you’re looking for Organic, Healthier, or Gluten Free options, this might be your place!

OMG, does any more need to be said about this place???
Vegan, they have two kinds of Vegan Cheese. Vegetarian, they can accommodate that as well. Gluten-​Free pizza crust, WOW. Vegan DESERT, YES.
The food is awesome, the people are awesome and if you have not tried this place, you are missing out!!!
Check online, they have nightly specials, you can order online and pick it up, or you can go in and they will treat you like royalty.
We love this place and will go back often.

Save the earth by eating pizza? Sure! I don’t think I would call this pizza, but rather flatbread. I had the Pear & Gorgonzola on multigrain, toasted walnuts, olive oil, mozzarella, provolone and parmesan, it was phenomenal. The different flavors came together perfectly.
The restaurant itself was IKEA-​esque moderate size and empty when I came which surprises me. Don’t know if people know about this place, but we need to spread the word! The first Pizza Fusion I tried in San Diego has since closed, so I hope this location has better luck. Large craft beer selection and wine too.
They also offer apps, sandwiches, salads, desserts, gluten free options, and they have a lunch special that runs 11a-​4p Mon-​Fri, personal cheese or pepperoni pizza and a side salad for $ 8.00.

I’ve had the pear and gorgonzola personal pizza on multigrain crust. For a meat lover like myself, I wasn’t sure this was going to satisfy my hunger, but it did! Good size for one, didn’t even finish it. Super tasty, great textures, beautiful contrast. Pizza was perfectly toasted on top as well.
I’ve also tried the beet and feta arugula salad and added grilled chicken. Beets were fresh and the salad was filling. I will definitely be back!

Service sucked… I know that they just opened and I will give them a chance to grow and mature but when you are standing there for 8min. and there are just 4 other people in the place and no one tells you «Go ahead and seat yourself — it kinda sucks. I even made the BF get up at some point to get us some menus… Aye!!!
I mean it’s not like they were swamped with customers…
Alright on to the food: I liked my Bruschetta Pizza — it was full of large roasted garlic and the tomatoes were tangy and not bland at all. The salad was OK — nothing special. The BF had the Farmer’s Market Pizza and it was full of veggies and was tasty. My child had the Pepperoni Pizza that she enjoyed as well. I think the pricing is too high for what you get and I’m talking quantity wise. I know that all the ingrediants are organic which makes you feel a whole lot better about eating pizza but $ 9.00 for a personal pizza is too much in my opinion…
Don’t go there starving that’s for sure unless your willing to pay…
I guess they do have lunch specials during the week.
They only have organic drinks so remember that their coke is healthy coke — there is a difference in taste — just ask my daughter.
Inside it’s decorated OK — there is style thrown in there with lime green chairs and a seperate seating area with relaxing living room furniture and a flat screen T.V. but it is small.
****Ugh, there are no seat covers in the restrooms– WHY??? — Customers end up having to use alot of toilet tissue to line the toilet seat****
We did enjoy our pizza’s so I have no problem saying that I will be back but I’ll give them some time to improve on the service. Maybe, they should have a seat yourself sign right when you walk in, Oh and maybe a Get your own menus sign as well…

I am here and ready to save the Earth, one pizza at a time. That is their motto which hangs over the bar. The word on the streets before they open did not amp up my excitement to try this place, but one visit changed all that.
I went in expecting to not be impressed and walked out highly pleased. I am not sure where this establishment won me over, but they did. The onslaught of friendly faces and warm greetings was a start. My party of two was told that we could sit anywhere, which included the lounge area in front of the bar. This helped to lower my guard. George, our personable waiter, sat down to explain the menu to us. Way to disarm my barbed defenses. The suggestion of a pizza I was eyeing down gained my trust. An option for multigrain pizza crust got me to loosen up. The string of 80’s classics came on and I could not resist the charms of Pizza Fusion any longer. I lost my shit when Don Henley came on. Then my Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza came out and my inner paparazzi swarmed. This pita style crust is not what I had expected, but it was still good. The sweetness of the pears and candied walnuts balanced out the saltiness of the cheese. The sesames laced throughout the crust was an indication that they were not bullshitting me with this multigrain claim. How dare they stay true to their word.
I was beginning to wonder what a «glutton» free, vegan, vegetarian and eco friendly pizza joint would serve. Within an hour, they proved that dietary restrictions and eating out are not exclusive separate. All of the vegetables are organic as well. They do serve meat for all the carnivorous Unilocalers out there. The only complaint I have is that they send their dough through a press and it is not hand tossed. If that is the worst complaint I can come up with, it is still a victory. Next time I will go all out and get the gluten free vegan pizza. Baby steps until then.
