Established in 2015, Mr. Moto Pizza has added an Encinitas offering to its roster of seven San Diego locations.

New Jersey’s popular Broad Street Dough Company has brought its customizable, baked-fresh-to-order donuts to The Lumberyard in Encinitas. The eatery offers several dozen different doughnuts on its regular everyday menu, including vegan and gluten-free varieties, as well as several daily specials. The backstory: In 2014, Ballast Point Brewing and Spirits tapped Joseph Ramaglia as general manager to open their 18,000-square-foot restaurant in San Diego. That same year, Ramaglia’s sister had created the Broad Street brand back East. Recognizing the potential, Ramaglia, now a partner, chose Encinitas as the place to launch their West Coast shop. 947 South Coast Highway. 760.704.8633, broadstreetdoughco.com

Pizza highlights include the Killer Bee with tomato sauce, mozzarella, soppressata, garlic puree, chili oil, and honey; the Mushroom Queen with mozzarella, garlic, seasonal mushrooms, truffle oil, arugula, lemon, and Parmesan; and the Caccio e Pepe with Parmigiano-reggiano, mozzarella, cracked black pepper, ricotta, butter, and garlic. 1246 North Coast Highway 101. 760.331.3565, corner-pizza.com
