    A classic slice.
    Ralph B.

    A standard pizza shop offering a fine selection of thin, crispy NY-style slices and whole pies. The perfect beachside food.

    Big Bobs already stopped orders @6pm so I jumped in the whip and hit coast hwy. I remember seeing pier pizza and decided to give it a try. Meat pizza, buffalo wings and garlic knots. Presentation looked promising but didn't live up to the hype. Pizza was pretty good actually but not sure if the bacon saved it. Not a $30 pizza. The knots and wings were below average . Knots seemed old and the wings cooked lightly . Bummed. Food doesn't go very far either while looking big portioned Finding a replacement for bobs still goes on. Pier pizzza 3 stars.

    Love a little local pizza spot where you can get fresh pizza made to order or by the slice ($4.50) they have canned drinks and beers for purchase to enjoy while you sit in this casual spot watching your team's football game. The prepackage salad was fresh and it's minimally staffed so sometimes the line in the front does get long. Make sure to tip because your cashier is the same one heating up your pizza slices in the oven. As for the pizza itself, it's a soft, yet doughy thin crust - NY style. While everyone is out at the fancy new pizza places I'll def be coming back to this locally owned spot

    If you want something inexpensive and quick this is a decent place. The pizza was overly greasy and not really flavorful. It actually felt a bit soggy where I expected some crispness to it being a New York style. The service was friendly and I did like the fruit loop marshmallow Treat.

    Fly on top of the pizza. Don't order pizza by the slice.

    I noticed the pizza located inside the glass shelves had flies on them, in spite of them having a screen cover. I wouldn't order single pizza from the glass shelves. Service: Pleasant workers, friendly. Ambiance: Has good seats indoor and outdoor. Highly recommend if they keep their doors closed because it is EXTREMELY bad to be selling those pizza slices where flies has landed on them. Unfortunately, I didn't take a video, but I took a picture. The fly is literally on the pizza, trapped inside the glass and net cover

    Love their dirtier bird pizza it's always great by the slice or the pie. However I have to take away stars because they completely changed their garlic knots into little bread rolls that unfortunately don't taste nearly as good. Please bring back the knots!

    Pier Pizza has been open awhile now and is really consistent and great. Owners are always there. They are busy at lunch. It's great for a quick lunch. Lunch special is 2 slices and a can of soda for $8. Buffalo wings are delish. Garlic knots and soft and yummy. Across from Finney's right off the main Mission intersection in downtown.

    good vibes, good pizza. thin crispy crust, tasty flavors. close to the pier, convenient location.

    Pleasantly surprised by how tasty the pizza is at Pier Pizza! My better half and I grabbed a cheese slice while my kids stuffed their faces with food at the Oceanside Night Market. Thin crust- yes Foldable- yes Good sauce- yes Oil on the plate- yes Customer service was friendly enough- nothing too memorable, but nothing wrong with it. When I'm in the area, I'll stop in!

    My favorite; no longer offered by-the-slice and cheese in the back.
    Aiko M.

    Oh, I should probably get a review going as we come at least twice a month. This is my favorite by-the-slice pizza spot; the crust is nice and crunchy so the huge pieces aren't floppy and the toppings are fresh. I have tried cheese, all of the pepperoni pizzas, and a white one with basil and tomatoes. The Dirty Bird is my least favorite (it was oddly sweet to me until I learned it has hot honey on top), and one with crisp basil, ricotta and pepperoni is my most favorite. The people who work here are friendly and keep busy, whether cleaning tables, serving patrons, or dancing around each other in the open kitchen... it's a bit chaotic inside but fun for me to watch. The most unideal time for us to visit was close to dark, as loud drunks/obnoxious homeless people hung around on the sidewalk. I much prefer the vibe during lunch hours. Overall, we will be back! Pros: - lunch special - friendly - open kitchen - garlic salt and other self-serve seasonings - great crust and toppings, not greasy! - al fresco and inside dining options Cons: - parking sucks (park at the transit center and walk over) - none really

    Great Sicilian slices smooth your cravings

    Pier Pizza has been opened in Downtown Oceanside & it's about time to tell you the truth about this gem. First of all, Pier Pizza is LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED. This fact alone is such a rarity in the downtown area with all the chains & franchises moving in. Pier Pizza is located on Tremont St, right across & north from the Regal Theater. They are known for their Pizza-by-the-Slice and that makes them a very efficient & cost effective means of grabbing a bite while walking the downtown area. Pier Pizza's menu consists of pizza pies, slices (Sicilian & NY style), chicken wings, salads & garlic knots. They also have sodas, free water, hard soda, hard seltzers, beers & wines. For pizza flavors they have: Cheese, Meat Lovers, Pepperoni, Margherita, Supreme, BBQ Chicken, White Spinach, Buffalo Chicken & their famous Dirty Bird (hot honey drizzle). Honestly, I've had their pizza slices both warm AND cold and I love them BOTH! Nothing is better than a solid pizza as leftovers For those looking for smaller bites, their house salad or Mediterranean salad will do the trick. I also CANNOT recommend their Fresh-Baked Cookies Enough! They are made in-house Daily! I love that their decor is based on the 1950-60's Oceanside Pier and it honors one of the most iconic landmarks on the west coast. Their seating is spacious inside and perfect for couples or, you can combine tables for groups. Their bathroom is also super clean! They have 2 big tv screens for sports fans. All in all, if you love pizza, you ARE coming to Pier Pizza and know that your money is staying local and you'll also be getting great service & delicious pizza!

    Food (4/5 stars): We tried the lunch special at Pier Pizza in Oceanside, which was 2 slices and a drink for $8! Although I'm not a big fan of thin crust, it was a pretty solid slice. The sauce was great but it could've used more cheese. Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: lunch special is a great deal! * Wait Time: minimal on a Sunday * Service: good * Parking: street parking can get a little tough in downtown Oceanside * Ambiance: it's a simple restaurant. I loved the pictures of the evolution of the Oceanside Pier

    Hands down one of my fav places in north county to get pizza by the slice! Love it here so much

    I love coming here and getting pizza by the slice! It's always so fresh and tasty. I love that it's not super greasy either.. they do a good job!

    Good slice. The slice is a little deceiving because it looks thin, but the dough has the perfect volume. I'll definitely be back!

Brought us everything we asked for quickly (extra ice, parm & red pepper flakes, drink refills,etc). I bought some pastries at the bakery next door & he stored them in the walk-in cooler as it was 94° outside. Our food was served quickly & the checks were processed quickly. The food! I got the chicken & sun dried tomato white pizza - excellent - and shared with a friend. My side salad was large enough to be an entree. Everyone at the table made yummy noises & agreed we would be back. It's a real test of a restaurant's skill to serve a large group, and Del Lusso passed with flying colors. We had reasonable wait times, received hot food, the server was top notch, and check processing was quick. The only issue was that on a 90°+ day the landlord refused to turn off the giant fire feature & nearly roasted us to death. Landlords do t care about customers & this guy was being a jerk just to be a jerk. Everything else far exceeded our expectations! I will be going again & our neighbors have already agreed that Del Lusso will be on our rotation for future dine out events.

Pizza a solid 4- undercarriage a bit floppy, cheese, sauce and toppings above average. Service slow but only one waitress with multiple duties. Great value overall. Be aware that in just two visits, in this smallish seating area, very loud beer drinkers cussing up a storm. I saw a few diners look over to the noisy crowd a bit overwhelmed and likely irritated. I would absolutely NOT dine in with young children and/or if this behavior would offend you. Too bad because multiple tvs for the Padres games! Next time for us- takeout.

Cool attitude from the waitress so I said u know what the rest looks good, I'll return with the wife. We called in our next order at 115pm and by 150pm our pizza slices (which are already made) were being held back waiting for our fish and chips that looked really good, it's why I came back. Butby 150pm the food was still not ready, I think they forgot to make the food. Then I asked u know what let's cancel the fish and chips and I'll just take the slices. Took an extra 8mins to get the refund. They were like u still want the food? I didn't know if they were messing with me or not so I said no. Food looks great, I just had an impatient kid with me and a cook who took 40+mins to make phone ordered fish and chips. I think I heard the hostess put in the order after she placed the slices in the box, I heard her remention my order and I asked if it was done, she said No, she was just asking the cook for the status after I had already waited for I wanna say 4 ppl to order then my order was rechecked and still not ready. Nuts ... Pizza was good

Walked into a busy, hot and crowded room that smelt like absolute dough heaven. I've been trying my best to cut out gluten and cheese from my diet and saw online that they had vegan pizza! To my surprise they had a whole vegan menu...amazing. I also ordered one of their many non-alcoholic options- a Riesling wine, really hit the spot. I had a lovely server who took the time out of very busy wave (not to mention only 2 people on the floor) to describe the whole menu to me, he was very kind and attentive. The pizza shown in the picture is a vegan BBQ smoke show, with their authentic Italian flour dough- although not gluten free (I'm not a fan of cauliflower dough) i left not feeling 'sick' or bloated. I was beyond happy that the pizza wasn't lacking in flavor or looks, very well done. If i could have devoured my pizza in one sitting i would have, but i had to bring it home. The space was hot and muggy but sometimes that's where a lotttt of magic happens! First impression was a hit, will definitely be back to test it out again!
