    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.

    Pasta/marinara with meatballs!

    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!

    Buffalo Chicken

    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.

    Great pizza with amazing friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating which is great super spacious. Loved the crispy thin crust on the pizza. We really enjoyed the pizza had a great time.

The online descriptions appear to be heavily embellished (likely AI-generated), promising far more than what arrives at the table. The steak was noticeably low quality, and the cioppino, advertised with fresh bread, fish, and pasta, tasted like watered-down Campbell's soup concentrate. To make matters worse, the bathroom was filthy. While our waiter was genuinely nice, the food was a huge disappointment. For the price, it was frustrating and disheartening to pay premium rates for such a poor experience. We cannot recommend this place and will not be returning.

    On two occasions I came here and had two different kinds of experiences. Both were Dam good times…read more. The first time was after roller skating nearby and I was one HUNGRY beaver! So my friend Nanci and I turned to Yelp for help. She had been to this location before and I frequent the Vista tavern and grill (mainly when Jimmy Paton is playing) with my family. Knowing that this one wasn't a restaurant we looked up on their calendar and excitedly saw that the Oishi sushi fusion pop up would be here. I've had them elsewhere several times and am a fan of them! AND we also saw that they have live music on Friday nights too! Oh yeah! This day the music was by Kimmi Bitter duo with Willis Farnsworth. I love the 60/70's vibe that they've got going on! Definitely a fun FriYay night out with our favorite of things ie Grub, drink AND what felt like a VIP live music show! I loved the open floor plan especially because after that fun workout prior I was able to cool down with the fresh air. Cuz I was one sweaty Betty, Ha! We noticed that they have BINGO on Thursdays and so the pre-planning of my 50th birthday spinning wheels in my head began! How perfect that my actual birthday fell on the same day as a bingo night. Spinning Meats Mediterranean pop up would be there. Rain or Shine. You see it's usually very hard to plan an actual birthday event for my birthday because it's so close to the hustle bustle of the Holidays. It also likes to be a rainy day. We lucked out here! I called and spoke to Ashley (forgive if I got the name wrong but that's what this old brain remembers). about making reservations and she informed me that it really is a free-for-all/first come basis as far as the table seating goes. But she did reserve one high communal table for me, RSVP for a half an hour prior to the first BINGO game. That worked out perfectly as my event was more casual and my friends would be trickling in and out during the evening. Several of my guests that attended my event are fellow YELPers too and we are always recommending our favorite places with one another. The entire venue felt like it was my own as we befriended strangers and shared other tables, luv and laughs all around & even shared my cake with them too. I was having surgery just days after this event so I only had one seltzer drink and it was good. I love that it didn't have fake dye coloring in it. My friends loved the place, their brews, and I loved their presence! Thank you BBB~O'side crew. You were amazing! Tho a bit bummed that no one out of my group won a bingo game but one guy won twice!?! How!?! Scratches head. We had a great time and truly am looking forward to my/our next experience here!

    The Beaves makes a DAM good beer! I love this tucked away…read morelocation, no frills, just good beer in an airy indoor/outdoor industrial space. Bingo nights are fun and free to play. Trivia is a bit of a miss. The acoustics in there aren't great to hear the questions well. Rotating food trucks make it a different adventure every time.
