I am not a great fan of pizza and these one were soooo good. I love finding this place with affordable pizza by slice and being able to watch the Spain-Portugal game today (way more friendly and not pretentious like the Biergarden place nearby). I repeated the same kind of pizza because was delicious (dont remember the name) and watched the game in a nice environment. I liked the black and white old pictures hanging in the walls. Cool scenes of the city. I had to leave before the end before of parking situation. I will go back.

A classic slice.

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.
Edlynn V.

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.

Five stars rated by both me and my nine-year-old son. In his words, " it is the perfect ratio of dough to sauce to cheese to pepperoni" The the crust is a perfect bite. Every time, you can really taste the freshness of the dough. Great selection of pizza by the slice, very fast even more delicious. They also have a cookie which they warmed up for us that filled a pan, the size of his head. Should've taken a picture before we devoured our slices, but the flavor explosion was too much to resist. If you live nearby or just visiting, this is a must stop spot.

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!

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

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.

There was another hair on the lemon wedge that was old. We had the Scoglio - spaghetti with muscles around the plate and a pizza. We told the waitress that the muscles tasted old. She went to the kitchen and it took her 5 minutes to come back out. The other 2 people in the restaurant had finished eating. It took her a long time to come back out to tell us that the muscles were in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. Who knows how long in the refrigerator? My friend got food poisoning from it. Kept throwing up and slept for the rest of the day. Still felt woozy the next morning. We called the restaurant and the gal took our name and number down and said the manager will call us. To this date we have not received a call. I guess it's time to call the San Diego Health Department? The pizza was good but too expensive!

Highly recommended. Nothing bad to say about this place. Check it out!

I was so excited to try a dairy free pizza based on the online menu. I am not vegan, I am not gluten free. I'm dairy free. They refused to make any of the regular pizzas with the vegan cheese for me, and also refused to make any of the vegan pizzas with meat. Why?? I can't understand it. They said no substitutions...but they made two of my friend's pizzas from the regular menu with gluten free crust? Why?? Apparently they accommodate some allergies but not mine? I ended up just getting an appetizer, and two glasses of wine. My husband got a pizza and two beers. At the last minute I order a bottle of wine for the table to share. My bill was $250! My husband insisted that it must have been wrong when I told him after we got home. Don't fall for the lore. Don't go here if you want to make a single substitution, if you're not wealthy, if you want to be comfortable. Come here if you want to take an Instagram of cheese oozing over a lasagna.
