    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.

    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!

    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!

    This pizza is freaking insanely good! We went to Finleys for a drink that was good, but then I smelled pizza across the street... twas pier pizza pleasure!! If def come back! Crust was thin. The sauce flavor was so damn nice, the sauce to cheese ratio was perfect and they taste like childhood in Jersey! I love this pizza

    Joriene M.

    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

    Meat pizza

    BEST pizza I have ever had. We are on vacation and we're trying to decide on which pizza place to go to and picked this one based on photos and good reviews. We ordered a meat pizza and wings, seriously so good!!! Must try!!!

On a previous visit a couple of months ago, I requested medium and my burger was very well-done. It was still good, and I'm not a guy who sends his food back. Tonight I let the person at the register taking my order about last time, and to let the chef know that I would really like the burgers medium this time. Burgers arrived well done again. I mean, if that's store policy like In-N-Out is now, I get it, but let me know that. The truffle fries and regular fries that came with the other burger were fantastic as always. I wish I didn't have to go back to the register to pick up salt packets but that's not a big deal really. I let the young lady at the register know that the burgers were well done, again. . . She apologized and I just told her that it was ok. I'm not making anyone cook me a new burger. Once again, still good. Just not what I asked for. I also ordered a beer and the person at the register gave me the number placard and told me that she would bring my beer out. After seeing it set at the bar where the drinks come out for a few minutes, I just went and picked it up. The young man who brought our food seemed more interested in talking to the female employees than checking on customers, but I was 20 years old once too. We did get there kind of late and left a little after closing time. Everyone was busy checking their phones. . . We'll be back. Pizza is always great. Burgers are usually surprisingly excellent for a Pizza place too. I just wish everyone was a bit more on point.

    This review is for a private party we attended last night…read more Del Lusso's restaurant space may seem a little on the smaller side, but don't be mistaken, we had a party of 40 and there was plenty of room (all inside). And they didn't have to shut down the restaurant either. The party host was allowed to come in and decorate the place settings as well as bring in a mic and speaker for entertainment and speaking. It was a wonderful set up. As a party guest I was greeted just as if I was there for a private dinner. Each of us were asked what we'd like to drink and throughout the dinner the staff made sure to refill all of our drinks. I got an Arnold Palmer and hubby got a beer. Both were refilled at least once - mine maybe twice (strangely I can't remember - shows how seamlessly it happened). Even serving 40 people, basically at the same time, our dinners came out quickly and they were absolutely delicious. Everybody raved at how good the food was. I saw a lot of Chicken Parmesan, various pizzas and Pasta Fettuccine, etc. The servers were happy to help and make sure everyone had everything they needed. And as soon as people started finishing, they were boxing up leftovers and even placed them off to the side for us to pick up later. That made a big difference. It's the little things. The host brought a cake in for the birthday boy and allowed counterspace to cut and serve it as well. I'm telling you it was such a good experience. You really get personalized service and help here. The attitude of the staff was upbeat and hospitable. I never sensed stress or irritation, which really made a difference. The food was top-notch. The service was amazing and the place was comfortable. Why haven't I had a party here before? Haha

"Cheesy" flatbread had almost no cheese. L'Americano pizza tasted good but was undercooked -- pale dough, flat pepperoni, cheese not fully melted. When I pointed it out, I was told "that's the way they do it in Naples." I've eaten plenty of pizza in Naples -- that's not how they do it. When boxing the leftovers, my server even joked, "Maybe when you reheat it you can cook it the rest of the way." Seating was visibly dirty -- stained upholstery and worn fabric. Server was great; management was not. I left after one glass and had a much better drink next door. Not recommended until they fix the basics.
