Buffalo Chicken Wings 1
Gabe F.

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.

A classic slice.

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

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!

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

The thin crust is great but the buffalo chicken pizza is too salty for me. Only one piece will need lots of water to be edible.

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.

It was also my first pizza from them. I ordered the Salsiccia pizza which has a sweet fennel sausage on it. The sausage tasted homemade. Perfectly seasoned. We got several pasta dishes which were perfectly served al dente. The order was packaged neatly and prepared on time. The staff is friendly and welcoming as always. Love this place. The food is reminiscent of my Nonna's cooking.

Incredibly gritty and had hard pieces of something in it that we had to spit out. The ravioli pasta was good, the stuff in it was truly disgusting. Again so bad all this time we've chosen other places to dine because of that one dish and whatever hard things were in it along with that gritty finely grounded chicken. So anyways the rating now is for my experience now. The above is just why it took me so long to try this place again. Service was great! Over the phone so nice and in person welcoming and friendly. Great staff here. Blonde is who helped me. Another dark haired lady even asked if I'd been helped and even with her serving was willing to help if I hadn't yet been helped but I had been helped so no need. Super great two ladies. Thank you both. Just had to wait a short bit for my food and to pay. $30+ for it. I had a bday coupon of $5 and $7 still on my account from all that time ago. Lady stepped in to put those discounts. Wonderful! The bag of my food was so light I looked inside because seemed nothing was in it. But it has my to go food in it so off I went. We live super close and got home, opened it but it was just warm. Not hot. Odd but well I was able to eat it right away. The sauce was oily butter tasting. The cheese on it tasted like plastic and the dish was missing the prosciutto sadly. Inside the pasta and the pasta itself was yummy! Sad the sauce was oily butter, no other flavor but oily. The pasta was smaller than before, still only 5 pieces of pasta, at $30+ for this ouch! Even after my discount $20+ was still not worth it. Bummer. The other time I had this dish it was all so good, the sauce and prosciutto etc. I am not saying we won't ever return, service is great. Looked over reviews, yes it's cramped inside and you are on top of others unless you get the booth, so I recommend the booth. We enjoyed our dine in experience time ago, only the chicken ravioli was gross, the soup was just ok but the rest was great. After today's experience I won't be repeating the tortellini. Maybe calamari and pizza next visit, but pasta portions n flavor lack too much to attempt other dishes. Just my thoughts. Again great staff!
