ignite bistro & wine spot

We had a super time and great food. Manager is awesome! We will be back.

We dined here during a recent trip to Encinitas. I recommend the patio. It was perfect! Really great pizza with a large wine selection. Friendly staff which always makes the difference.

COMMENTS FROM bUZZ LADIES "Food was very good" "Best margherita pizza since I was in Naples" "Ignite sauce was awesome" "Nice touch with the chef to come by" bUZZ RATING (1-4) Quality of Service 3 Value 3 Overall Taste 3 Likelihood to return 3 Audra's Thoughts Another new venue has hit the old Crazy Burro spot. Let's just hope this one sticks. We did a bUZZ Night at this location when it was La Costa Grill, but it didn't last long. It was inevitable that we would check out the new ownership and we did on the 5th of October. Our night was a little unusual due to the freak Southern California storm. We were supposed to sit out on the patio that has been redone since LCG, but of course had to be put inside. It made for a noisy night, but pretty typical for a sports bar. Our table of 13 took advantage of the happy hour menu, which included mussels, ceviche, Quessadillas, pizza, hamburgers and more. Due to my late arrival (I had just flown in to town), I wasn't able to order something myself, but I nibbled on everyone else's choices. The Shrimp Ceviche was delicious; one bite was not enough! The delivery of the mussels was creative and they were cooked to perfection. The burger was ordered with very specific instructions; the chef followed them to the "T". And absolutely everyone was digging into the fries. The best comment I heard all night was that the wood-fired pizza tasted just like the pizza from Naples, which had to have made the chef happy considering all of the ingredients come from that area of Italy. A big thanks to the Ignite Manager who donated a $25 gift certificate to raffle off to one of our lucky bUZZ Ladies. I will definitely come back to watch football some Sunday afternoon or Monday night. The menu still has to be tried in full by me. Until then, please check it out and let me and the other bUZZ Ladies know what you think. Click here to join the North County Coastal group.

This is a best kept secret in North County so far. Love their wine selections and hand made pizzas. Fantastic patio with great tunes. You can buy wine by the bottle, drink it there or take it home.

Both inside and outside seating is nice. The service was great, very thoughtful. Great happy hour too!
