We were in town (well, in Morro Bay) and looking for some good pizza. So glad we tried Brightside! The pizza was delicious (we got the Bear and the Hawaiian), the wings were tasty and the cold cut sandwich was fire. The bread on the sandwich was so good I ate the whole thing long after I was full. Arcade games are free so the kids were entertained. The staff is friendly and helpful. Nothing but good things to say. If we come back to this area again I would definitely return. read more

We had my son's bday party here last night and everything was perfect! Ashley helped us book the party room and make our orders ahead of time and answered all my questions. She was so kind and helpful. Service during the party was wonderful as well. Food and drinks delicious. They let us decorate the room as we wanted and the kids had a blast playing games and running wild. Thank you so much for making Gavin's 13th a special one! read more

So much could improve...I waited an hour for my pizza. The waitress couldn't remember what I ordered. The pizza then did not have my extra added topping when I got it. The crust was so hard and hardly any toppings..totally disappointing. The waitress never came back to ask me how I was in that hour and person at cash reg delivered my pizza...when I asked if this usually takes an hour he said there was a catering party ..no apologies or offering me anything for my wait.People around me ordered after me and left before I got my food. Not happy ..my first time there on gift certificate..next time ...no read more

Finally got to try out Brightside pizza, and was not disappointed! Want to start out by saying the gentlemen helping me (going to guess owner?) was over the top nice! Just great and friendly customer service. So the pizza, has a great taste, dough wasn't too soft (had a good texture), and the toppings were spot on. And, it's not loaded with sauce (which I personally don't like) so that was a huge plus for me, and those who don't like too much sauce. My only complaint is this. There needs to be bigger chunks of their sausage! The sausage truly has a good taste, and needs more of it! As you can see they are not stingy with it, but bigger pieces would be awesome! Do want to add, I like the names for the pizzas. Lol All in all: Great service, good pizza, friendly atmosphere! They have gained a new customer! read more

Stayed in Los Osos on a Tuesday night, the places we had thought of walking to to eat were closed so we found Brightside and ordered pizza for delivery. It was easy to order, and arrived quickly. The pizza was delicious! We had never tried pizza with artichoke on it and we couldn't stop talking about how great of a combo it was. Super fresh and hot.

Always a great experience with Brithtside. Been coming here for awhile now and they are still doing so good. We finally sat in for a meal again now that our daughter is 3 and can play, so surprised to find out that the games are free! On top of great food, great people. The Brights are always so nice and accommodating and work with the community. Still so stoked that they came out with the Brightvibe pizza. One of our go to pizzas before they even opened, so it was so great to see them with the same flavor vibe. Great place to get food and hang out in Los Osos. read more

My husband and I had a late lunch at Brightside on a Friday afternoon. The waitress was more than friendly and engaging and gave us some great tips on a local mountain bike trail. We ordered our pizza and the chef made it as if it was going to be in magazine! Absolutely beautiful artwork. He definitely took his time with aesthetics but the goodness didn't stop there. The sauce was great, toppings were plenty and the crust was crunchy! We loved it. Free arcade video games were a plus. Definitely will return when we visit Montana de Oro in the future. read more

The food was delicious! Would I really enjoy this Brightside Pizza I just found on Google? Yes! Everyone was super welcoming. It's family friendly. The pizza, which I was nervous about, was so good! Especially picking out the Brightside, which has white sauce, jalapeno, bacon, and pineapple, I was risking it. But, it was worth it! The pleasant mixture of all the flavors! The crust was nice and soft. The pizza isn't oily! I ordered an 805 beer alongside it and it was glorious. The pizza held up well as leftovers. I left it in the car after a trail race, and it warmed up naturally and was still so good! That's a good sign of good pizza if you ask me! read more

Just moved to town and this place has become a favorite. The pizza is prepared using quality ingredients (I def recommend the roasted garlic as a topping), the wings are great without any added flavorings (although they've got you covered however you like them). It's family owned and definately family friendly--they even have a completely FREE arcade room. I think they have like 25-30 different beer on tap, but I don't drink anymore. But for me, I love their Thursday Nite Music Trivia Nite, been there twice so far and both times have been really really fun. It's been a great way to get to know the town because it seems like the whole town knows about it. I swear they didn't pay me for this review! I just truly dig this place. read more
