    Blue cheese walnut salad
    Vanessa E.

    This place was surprisingly delicious. It's easy to get lost in all the pizza spots in the area. My husband really enjoyed the meat lasagna. The blue cheese walnut salad is great. We went 2x in a week. The service is great, friendly staff. Pub like atmosphere, playoff hockey on tv!

    Andreann took our to-go order, and while we waited, we sat at a nearby table. She came over and told us the tables were for dine-in customers only and that we needed to wait by the large fan instead. I would completely understand if the restaurant had been busy, there was a waitlist, or customers were waiting for tables but none of that was the case. There were plenty of open tables, and the way she spoke to us came across as unnecessarily rude. We ended up sitting on a bench outside while we waited. At some point our order was ready, but we have no idea how long it had been sitting there because no one called our name or even stepped outside to let us know. Overall, the whole interaction left a bad impression. We were paying customers too, even if our order was to-go, and a little basic courtesy would have gone a long way. Really disappointing customer service.

    Meat lovers pizza
    Joaquin M.

    Came in on Easter Sunday at 1:45PM. It was packed. However, we weee seated immediately. Staff was friendly and answered our questions. Ambiance is casual with the beach vibe throughout. Food was delicious. We got the medium meat lovers and an order of mozzarella sticks. Fire. Definitely a come back.

    Mozzarella Sticks

    We stumbled in here and are so glad we tried it! The service was great and very fast and the food was good and reasonably priced. The mozzarella sticks were our favorite thing we got! We will be back on our next trip. Just beware gratuity is already added to parties of 5 or more.

    Raw pizza
    Jason F.

    Walked in to order a pizza to go. Ordered a med combo, wait was 15 ro 20 min. All good. Walked pizza back to the hotel, fail. It wasn't cooked, it was still raw in the center. See photo and no that's not cheese. Also, while waiting I noticed that the restaraunt in general needs cleaning and maintenance. At the host stand you can clearly see dirt buil-up and an iced up machine. Sloppy wires on the ceiling covered in grime. More or less stuck with this pizza as it would make the experience worse to have to walk back and wait another 20 minutes then walk back to the hotel. On the positive side, nice person who took the order. That is all. Get your stuff together Pizmo!

    Bbq Chicken Pizza
    Cindy P.

    Pretty crowded on a Friday night for a casual Italian eatery in Pismo Beach. That's always a good sign to me. But, I come to find out that the poor servers were running around nonstop because they were short handed. So although the wait to sit and be served was a little long, I completely understand given their circumstance. Food was delicious and big portions. The BBQ chicken pizza was loaded with the yummiest toppings. Highly recommend for the awesome savor & sweet flavors! Even the simple basket of fries we ordered as a side was crispy and tasty. Next time you find yourself in the Pismo area, grab a PIZmo bite! So close to the pier and downtown area.

    Happy Hour Slice and a beer
    Jason S.

    Came here for the lunch special! What a deal! Pepperoni slice and a beer for under $12!! WOW! The slice was huge!

    Buffalo Wings
    Nalleli P.

    Favorite pizza spot in Pismo. There's usually alot of people but it was a Monday ( Presidents' Day). Service was quick and attentive. Good ambiance of music playing. The pizza was crunchy 5/5. The wings are my favorite!

    We have been coming here for years and never had a bad pizza until today. We definitely have to find a new pizza restaurant. The pizza was super thin and hard. Won't be coming back.

    Kaliza D.

    Came in during happy hour, pizza slices came out fresh and where a great size. Service was great as well

    Chicken Alfredo
    CocoWill T.

    Food is always spot on! So glad we found this place. We have visited 3 times in a week. Yes, it was that good. Especially after a day of fishing off the pier. The service is always exceptionally great, the staff is very welcoming and with a smile on their faces. The place is a great place to have dinner with your family, catch a game on many of the screens they have playing.

    Chicken wings
    Fely L.

    Been walking by this place every time we are in Pismo and finally gave it a try. We order fried wings with buffalo sauce on the side. The wings were great! Nice crunch factor and moist inside. Buffalo sauce was homemade not too hot, just to my liking. The pizza I loved just as much. We got a combo and right amount of meat and veggies. The crust is made daily, with a nice crispy crunch and not doughy and saucy. Shout out to Kelli our server. Love her service, personality and humor. Oh and I even had a cider which was good. I'm not a drinker at all.

    Karen S.

    The best pizza in the Five Cities in our opinion! The crust is handmade and chewy but not tough. They use plenty of cheese. The sauce is flavorful but not so spicy you have heartburn for hours. There is a steady stream of local customers coming in. They also serve a number of pasta dishes. They only have house wine and it's OK. It's usually only one server but things seem to come out quickly and they check back in on you.

    Dog friendly inside?

    I honestly do not believe so the tables and all the people inside were pretty crammed together, but I would call and ask

    Do they have a gluten free pizza option?

    Yes

We were placed on the back patio, which was beautiful, covered, heated, and thoughtfully decorated, making it a very comfortable and inviting space.

The seasoning was bold and flavorful without being overwhelming. The corn, potatoes, and sausage were perfectly portioned, complementing the seafood instead of taking the focus away from it. The rich, buttery garlic sauce tied everything together and was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the half-shell oysters, which were the perfect medium size.

The place has alot going on. Always crowded and busy, it's a popular place. To the right is the sit down eatery and bar. Towards the middle of the shop they sell imported Italian dry goods, pasta, olive oil, wines, snacks, bottled olives and the such. You can order deli sandwiches, slices of pizza, gelato, and other to go items at the counter. For deli customers, there are a few two chair tables indoor and outdoor. The line setup for the counter was a fiasco though. Some folks were lining up horizontally and vertically to the counter; folks in line had to self police. But officially the line is horizontal, that way you can view the offerings before you order at the register. Hub's and I ordered and shared a meatball sandwich and salad. The sandwich was omg delicious! Nice big fat tasty meatballs in the Sunday sauce on toasted roll. Cheesy mozzarella melted in topped. Beautiful, satisfying, seemingly endless cheese stretch.

The pastries were all well balanced and not too sweet and the gelato actually had a perfect texture and amazing nutty flavor to it. Coming from an Italian family we have high standards when it comes to Italian food and everything surpasses the mark here! Highly recommend if you are in Pismo Beach.

Since the weather was gorgeous and we had our dog with us, we chose to sit outside. Street parking can be a bit tight due to beachgoers and nearby shops. Their menu covers breakfast, burgers, tacos, fish & chips, salads, soups, and hot or cold sandwiches, plus beer and cocktails. We ordered the 'Cuban Sandwich' (hot pulled pork, ham, provolone, mustard, mayo, and pickles on a perfectly toasted, soft French roll) and the 'Turkey Sandwich' (cold). Both came with curly fries and were fresh and yummy. Personally, I prefer chips over fries with a cold sandwich, but the food was still excellent. Customer service was top-notch.

Fully loaded Bloody Mary's with a choice between 16 and 20 ounces. You get three shrimps, two strips of smokey bacon, three olives, and a pepper. Recommend 16 ounces as there wasn't much of an obvious difference. Wasn't stiff enough but fulfilling with a great kick of spice to the throat. Freddy Sandwich is a must have. Opted plain fries for chili cheese fries instead. The sandwich alone was the highlight. Slices of tri-tip hit the spot with BBQ sauce and avocado. Friendly customer service. An inviting atmosphere. Been told they have happy hour on appetizers. Would love to try on a followup visit.

Our waiter was attentive, the food came out promptly, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is really fun, with an old-school '50s diner feel, surfboards and beach decor throughout, plus big-screen TVs if you want to watch sports. It was also entertaining watching other guests attempt the huge stacked-burger challenge. One guy finished it surprisingly fast! They also have milkshakes with different flavors you can mix together. Definitely not for anyone dieting, but they sounded delicious. If you're in the Pismo Beach area, I highly recommend Cool Cat Cafe. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere for the whole family.
