    House Salad (small size)
    Allyson D.

    Another dinner at Best Pizza because I wanted a spot to watch the Padres win (yes, at least this one game vs. Dodgers). I love their pesto goat cheese pizza ans must remember that maybe getting two slices with my beer would be a good idea. I also LOVE their house salad. No one else does a House Salad better than Best Pizza. My partner ordered their buffalo wings, and although he finished them, he said they were on the salty side. There was a bit confusion tonight on whether our red tag meant we had a tab open. My partner asked the cashier to leave the tab open so he could order another pint and buffalo wings, but the gal who came by explained to us that we had a red number (instead of black). She wasn't rude, but she also wasn't upfront about just asking what his name was to check if the tab was indeed open or not. She just kept explaining that we were wrong when ultimately the cashier didn't give him the correct color card.

    We came here before and really liked the vibe. We initially wanted to go to The Privateer, but it was super busy, we head on over here and it was super busy too but had seating. We ordered some wings, Caesar salad and a pepperoni pizza. It was all good, except the pizza took quite awhile to come, like over 40 minutes... so just be prepared if it's busy to wait a long time for your pizza. Taste and vibe are there. Super kids friendly too.

    Great pizza at a relaxing location. I showed up here with a group of friends and it was very easy to find seating for us all. We ordered our food and it was all brought in good time, we got pizza, sandwiches, wings and a salad. Everyone loved what they got and I was really surprised with how good everything tasted. I had no idea what to expect but it was a good surprise. The staff were super friendly and my group ended up hanging out there till night time and the staff turned on the space heaters! That was super nice and kind and it just showed that they were attentive of their customers since the seating we had chosen was a bit to the side. Staff was awesome and that definitely created a warm and friendly vibe. We will definitely go back!

    In the San Diego area and need a quick bite for yourself -- or planning a big, chill gathering? Best Pizza & Brew has you covered. Solo eaters will love their $8 hat or shirt deal, which includes a free slice of pizza. Yes, just $8 for a souvenir and your choice of pizza slice -- not only pepperoni or cheese, but several options. Coming with a group? They've got a spacious patio with heaters and a great interior for hanging out. As a meat lover, my top picks are the freshly baked large Meat Lover pizza, the cheesy meatballs, and the super crispy truffle fries. IG: socalhkfoodies

    Calamari was good....the beer was good....a Japanese beer
    Rick M.

    The pizza here is great! I had the meatball Parmesan and burrata sausage and hot honey. I'm not sure which I loved more! They were both great. Service here is always really good. I had an order of calamari and a Japanese beer. Plenty of seats inside. Parking lot was full but I found parking on the street no problem.

    Time for another review update! This place keeps moving up higher and higher on my list for top local pizza spots! The name is super fitting; Best Pizza and Brew! I am now using them to cater meetings at work and the staff love the pizza and salads! They no longer have the Mac and cheese I used to love but I'm hooked on the garlic knots! Best Pizza and Brew always has amazing happy hours specials including $2 slices and great beer specials! They continually support the community with events sharing proceeds of sales from that day with the beneficiary! So glad to see business is thriving and hope to see them still here years from now!

    If you're looking for solid pizza, cold drinks, and a chill spot to hang in Oceanside, Best Pizza & Brew is the place. The pizza is fresh, crust is crispy, and the center is chewy. I enjoy their Pesto and The Works pizza. The Buffalo Chicken wasn't for me, as I've never been a fan of buffalo sauce. They've got a legit tap list with a good mix of craft beers, and their happy hour deals are pretty good, $4 pints and $2.50 slices. Margaritas are $6 (I believe) during happy hour. The vibe is laid back and beachy, with indoor/outdoor seating, plenty of TVs, and friendly staff. Great for grabbing a quick slice, meeting friends, or just kicking back with a drink on the patio. It's a go to local spot.

    Food was tasty. We ordered the meat lovers pizza. Note, the crust is thin. If you want a thick, dough pizza, go somewhere else. A large pizza for 4 people with 3 drinks was $80. Kind of pricey, but you are paying for the location. Ambiance is family friendly with big beautiful open windows across from the beach. Service was friendly and efficient. They had a great special, 1 slice of pizza with a shirt for $8!

    Daniel G.

    Wow, pizza and salad was phenomenal. Today we decided to go half barbecue chicken half meat lovers with the House salad and subbed blue cheese for goat cheese and it was absolutely phenomenal! Best pizza and brew always has the best crust. Best toppings, fresh salad, and the most laid-back chill vibe. The workers are always so nice and the food is always cooked perfectly. Beers are amazing also with a wide selection on tap. Love that they offer merch to go with hats and shirts, and the place is always spotless when I come in, so clean! Love that they sell by slice also. I was just blown away at how perfect our order was last night. thank you so much! This is why it's our favorite pizza spot!! The name stays true it is the BEST!!!!

    The name of this place nails how the food here tastes. It was our last night in town and honestly I didn't feel like cooking so we decided to give the pizza here a try and I'm so glad we did. Not only does this place cater to your four legged friends but they have some of the best pizza in the planet. The sauce alone takes on a zesty flavor of it's own. It's a little spicy but at the same time not overly spicy toppings ratio was perfect and nicely cooked in a wood oven. The best way to describe the house salad was very similar to a Waldorf salad. Leafy greens. Julianne slices of apple, blue cheese, raisins and hopefully not peacans because I'm highly allergic but we did pick out the nuts since we weren't sure what nut we were dealing with. Our server was really nice and we sat outside since we had our two dogs with us. They do have a menu for dog meals for your dog to eat and tons of iced cold beers on draft to drink. This place is definitely with more than just a 5 star review it deserves a perfect 10 and I honestly don't ever find myself saying that about any of the businesses that I review but I can about this place. Honestly if I still lived in Southern California this would be my go to pizza place it would definitely be worth the 2 hour drive from L.A. so everyone you have to get down to Oceanside to try this place is promise you won't be sorry. It's also good for groups and catering I would just call ahead.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Alicia J.

    Yes their pizza and beer is stellar, but this review is a special shout out to their desserts. The chocolate chip cookie and brownie are so good. Sometimes we will have dinner at another spot in South O but then go to Best Pizza for the cookies! They sometimes sell out FYI. Take one to go, or sit outside on the patio (they have heaters and its comfortable out there!) with one and add some ice cream. The service/staff at this location are consistently good which makes this an easy go to when you're in Oceanside.

    Pepperoni pizza slices and a blood orange IPA
    Leanne D.

    We were spending the day with my daughter and boyfriend down in Oceanside and they took us to the Best Pizza and Brew in Oceanside. We all ordered a slice of pizza and a beer. Their pizza reminds me of New York Style pizza. Thin crispy crust and high quality cheese. Lots of beer choices too. Definitely a nice neighborhood pizzeria and brew house. I just wish they were in South Orange County.

    I think this is the first time I started my review, before even getting my food. That's how slow…read morethe service is, they were crazy packed (65% capacity maybe) but looks like they only had 3 people working 1) For all waiters/waitresses reading this. A PEPSI is NOT the same as a COKE, a Hot Dog is not that same as a Corn Dog.... AND Sweet n Low is NOT the same as Splenda. If I would have known they only have Splenda, I woulda ordered a Coke. But she said "yeah, we have sweet in low" Now we wait for our food and I'll continue the review. Mozzarella sticks were okay. Oil might be old cause they looked darker than normal but the batter was good and cheese sorta melted. 3.5 stars Ordered carne asada fries based of the waitress recommendation. It was okay. Fries were good, cheese was good and good amount, sour cream and guac was good. Carne asada was mid and amount was not that much. Being generous 4 stars Tea was good 4 stars. Philly was decent (wife got it, it's her review). 3,5 stars Below is reviews from my son who was STARVING and just finished a 10 day wrestling camp. Mac & cheese 2 stars. Cheese is viscous and strong Armenian cheese flavor Burger was 3 stars. Needs to be bigger and more juicy Mozzarella sticks 2 stars We not from here so won't come back for sure. Service wasn't great. She was nice but I think over whelmed with customers The Cheese Cake however, saved the day. 5 stars as in I would get it again and again. Once it died down, waitress did come by more often. Over all 3.5 stars but I don't feel right giving this place a 4 so I have to go with 3 And then we get the check and there is a 3% Green Fee (not on the menu but on the check) So that dropped the waitress tip from $30 to $15. But they earned that $5 Green Fee

Beer buddies, especially the cajun style, are delicious and my husband believes they make the best buffalo chicken wings in San Diego. Pizza Port always has a great selection of their own beer, as well as guest beers, both on tap and in bottles. Be warned - it gets BUSY! Went on a Saturday at 6pm and the wait for pizza was an hour and we had to be quick on draw to find an open table. Lots of video game activities to keep young, and young at heart, entertained. Mix in several tv's for adults to watch games, and a nice large patio area. Staff were all great.

    this review is for food/space mainly...cannot speak to da BOOOOOOZE, Tom Cruise…read more we went on a weekend dinnertime with a party of four, calling in our order ahead of time. pizza, salad and drinks. our local SD hosts said this was a great pizza spot. it is NOT. getting the food and drink through that line was a crucible. yuck. pizza: very standard, kind of like a Digiorno's, with basic sauce, cheese but the toppings were above average, i will give them that. salad: surprisingly above the bar level that this "restaurant" is. fresh ingredients at a pizza place is always amazing to me. (typical pizza salad is iceberg lettuce, and bagged cherry tomatoes and carrot shreds that probably have botulism.) chalk that one up to it's California. atmosphere: BAD. seat yourself if you can find it. people and people and MORE people and dirty tables and chairs because the overwhelmed staff here has no time to clean anything. they can barely get the orders out. we found a dirty corner of a bar table RIGHT UNDER the loudest speaker you've ever heard. (video attached) OMG it was the worst dining experience i've had as a human. some positives: the people in San Diego are generally very friendly, and we were all pretty much commiserating about the grating conditions (lack of space, space shuttle-level noise, etc). but you shouldn't have to band together at a "restaurant" like you're captives surviving an apocalypse. "The good humor and sense of pride allowed us yeomen and scallywags to survive the torrent...YYYAAARRR!" if you paid ME to go back here, i'd quote you $1,000 per hour to endure this slop shop. if you wanna drink, it looks like a pretty standard hey ho beach bar with TVs, gnarly suds and brews, du.
