You know I love pizza. It's tough when you're out in Fire Island (and coming from Brooklyn), so we are constantly trying to find the right balance of available, convenient and quality. We're so happy that Beacheria opened up recently and have been thoroughly impressed with them.
Let's start with the fact that Beacheria is a newcomer to Ocean Beach. Don't confuse new with not ready because they are rocking and rolling already. They're set up for delivery (even to the far end of Ocean Bay Park) and they do it FAST (note there is also online ordering - possibly a first in FI). This certainly helps with the convenience factor. When you are in the restaurant they are only one of two places I've found on the island that take Apple Pay (huge when you forget your wallet, but not your phone obvi)!!!!!
We've so far had a few variations of their pies and here's our thoughts. The "regular" pie is a solid 4 stars for "not Brooklyn" pizza with a not too thick, not too thin crust that is crunchy yet with enough mouth bounce. Cheese has an appropriate ratio and the sauce has the right amount of tomato tang. Good stuff for $26 a pie. The white pizza, for those that do white, is solid 4.5 stars and has a hearty nature to it which won't allow you to eat more than 2 slices even if you're hungry (full pie $30). We also had a slice of buffalo pizza which was good, but not my favorite (I eat my buffalo pizza without blue cheese, so that may have made a difference). Lastly, we tried a "healthy" option and had the cauliflower crust pizza - really excellent, but don't eat this after something like the white pizza because, well, they're very different by design. Also to note if you have a large group is that they do catering and have trays of yummy italian regulars. We haven't had the opportunity to try these yet, but will soon!
Bonus at the restaurant they have fountain sodas (Coca-Cola brands), a video game and friendly staff too! Come check them out if you're out for the day or week - they won't disappoint. read more
