    Pizza port is very nostalgic for us. We are locals, but we haven't been here in a very long time. My adult kid likes to come here because of the memories. Tonight we had a large pepperoni and tomato pizza, Caesar salad, beer buddies and buffalo wings. If you're not familiar with the process, you order at the counter on the lower level. And they'll call your name. Beer is served at the bar and soft drinks. You can order at the counter and their soft stations on two levels. There is street parking but also a lot on the upper level in back. Great for families as they have a small arcade and they have sports usually playing depending on the season Pizza was pretty decent although they put the toppings underneath the cheese. This was the pepperoni and the tomato. The tomatoes were scolding hot. Next time I would definitely ask for the toppings to be on top. Beer buddy always a classic. Caesar salad was pretty basic and the wings were probably the worst part of the meal. I noticed that they use the pizza oven to cook the wings. I probably would've asked for them to be run through twice. They were just very soggy and the buffalo sauce it wasn't that it was spicy. It was almost oddly stringent tasting. The five dollar beers were a good value. Overall, it's like an OK value, especially when there's other pizza and Italian places in town and in the area that you can choose from. It would probably be another long time until I visited either our hometown location or Carlsbad. Interiors pretty basic with some surf motif, large family style picnic table tables and high tops. There's a few nooks and crannies with the outdoor patio balcony area that's kind of cool.

    We happened to go on a very busy Friday evening, which means it's a good thing, right? 8 adults 3 small children 1st come, 1st serve on the large open area of bench tables, upstairs, downstairs and a small put front patio. Nice small arcade to keep the kiddos and Dads busy, amd 2 counter bars. Order at the counter, your name is called, pick up your own food and full your own drinks. A chaotic rhis evening but overall a good experience. A very nice lady and son let us have their table. It can get very loud in there. Service is great. Pizzas wings and mozzarella sticks were a solid 8.5. Pizza is loaded with toppings, not too saucy or salty, freshly made. We will definitely try this place again in a not so busy evening or get it to go. Price on point for the amount of food we ordered.

    The place was packed so our experience may not have been typical and clearly the locals know how to order. You can choose your crust-thick or thin. Wish I had known that but they were doing best they could. Super friendly cashier who was managing a number of San Clemente Karen's complaining about wait time. The exporter was killing it with a precision and speed meant only for the most complex of military expeditions. Now to the food, eh. A moderate to solid pizza experience but the sauce on the pie was straight out of Italy. If you are one of the many millennial and trust funders who love to discuss "craft" brews, look cool, and chill while dripping wings sauce or having pizza sauce on your chin-a solid 5.0. I would return at a different time and probably enjoy more, not their fault. Be patient, they are working their butts off.

    3.75 stars rounded up for this local gem. Pizza port is like your local pizza spot meant for lots of kids running around after a baseball game. 2 stories of tables, video games and 2 separate bars to grab their famous beers from. You order at the counter down below and they call your food as each item is ready. Pizza came out first so we started there. Not my favorite pizza. Very doughy and soft, the sauce is a little sweet. My 13/14 year old LOVED the pizza so who am I to criticize. Next came the baked wings. Ask for them well done so they come out crispy and yummy. I appreciate that these are not fried and seed oils. These were the gem of the meal. Only thing I would change is the freezing cold wing sauce they put on the side from the refrigerator. But def a winner. Next came out the salad, we got the port salad with roasted butternut squash, grilled portobello's, Argus and loads of blue cheese. This salad was FIRE!!! The only knock is they don't make their own dressing so you get a little side of plastic canister of Ken's salad dressing, which is a decent dressing but full of canola and soybean oil next time I would probably bring my own dressing or just squeeze some lemon on it and put some olive oil that I brought with me, but that's just me being picky. It's a damn good salad. I wish it didn't come out 30 minutes after i ordered. It was 12pm so I didn't have any beer, my mistake I'm sure. Consensus: I would come back for wings and salad for sure, the pizza needs some work.

    Pizza Port creates unique and flavourful pizzas with fresh ingredients. The portion and toppings are so generous that one larger size is enough for a group of six people to share or quickly grab a snack. We are from the central coast. This was our second time having Pizza Port. The Morro Bay location was our first pizza dining experience. Both locations are great. This location has an urban feel mixed with a cozy ambiance. The Morro Bay location is more beach-friendly with an open space outdoor patio. Speaking of Pizza Port, while we were at the Los Angeles International Airport, one security officer looked quite serious. I assumed he was a fan of this place or at least a Pizza aficionado, because when he saw my husband wearing the Pizza Port T-shirt he flashed a very sweet smile with satisfaction.

    10/10 would recommend! They sell slice of pizza until 3 everyday. Cheese pizza is $3 and pepperoni is $3.50. It was pretty fulfilling and pretty good! They also have a bar and an upstairs area! Seating outside and inside too. Staff were super cool and helpful.

    Pizza was good. About $22 for the wife and I to share their Margherita pizza. Took about 10 minutes to come out. Upstairs was cool, great views of the ocean too. Their bar and beers to go seemed real popular, it seemed a lot of customers were there just for that. Great spot if you're nearby and in the mood for pizza.

    4 stars due the food being bomb I'd give less for the wait time. We ordered wings and two 10inch pizzas. One cheese and one cheeseburger. We waited one hour for our food. Even the wait for our other friends salad was 45min. But unfortunately there's wings were amazing the pizza is great. They had a $5 pint of one of their beers so that's fun, at least you can grab those without waiting hours.

    I've visited this location once before. It's the only Pizza Port outside of San Diego, glad it's here. Food is fantastic and great selection of beers. Staff are friendly, Professional and provide fast service. Really glad the food is made fresh to order. The interiror is a little messy but that's part of the aesthetic so it's ok. The restrooms look decently clean so that's a plus. Parking is a little tough sometimes but a walk never hurt anyone. Definitely will be coming back, one of my favorite spots to come to visit.

    Im on the side of 5 stars for this spot. The pizza is awesome and well priced. I love that you can hop in and grab a slice or two and a beer without breaking the bank. Pizza style is thin, and they usually have a daily special by the slice. A slice will run you around 3 or 4 bucks. There beer is great, obviously. I tried the German pilsner and it was refreshing and crisp.

    Pizza Monterey and Pizza Bressi Ranch
    John V.

    First time at Pizza Port. Decided to meet here with some friends in town. Seems like a staple in the San Diego area for both pizza and beer. The San Clemente location is a two story brewpub with many benches, outdoor seating, and even arcade games. We decided to get half Pizza Monterrey and half Pizza Bressi Ranch. I had low expectations but the pizza was honestly good! Hefty toppings. Good sauces. The Bressi Ranch is super unique and delicious. Location is a little busy. Also gets really hot inside. Beer is okay. Overall seems like a place you can't go wrong with but by no means best pizza in town.

    I ain't gonna talk about how legitimately legendary the beer is. I ain't gonna talk about how I was raised right in between their two most classic and bitchin locations (Solana OG and Carlsbad effing village) I ain't gonna talk about the memories, the nostalgic moments post surf / skate and blenders. All I'm gonna say for now is TRIPLE BAKED WANGS. TRIPLE 3 !!!! BAKED WANGS !!!!!! That's all you need to know yelpers. You're welcom

    Pizza Port is always solid for lunch. They have a good deal where you get two slices of pepperoni and a craft beer for $13. Pizza is tasty and beer is always cold. Bartenders are cool and will let you sample the beer before deciding. Upstairs and downstairs bars with TVs at both. Also have an outdoor patio on both floors if you would like to take in the San Clemente views.

    Ask the Community - Pizza Port

    Do you serve wine?

    Yes

    Any gluten free dough options?

    Gluten free is an option but it only come in the small size.

    Hi everyone do they have outside dining & are dogs allowed?

    Outside dining is available on the upstairs and downstairs patios. It is preferred if they are outside on the patios downstairs, but yes dogs are allowed.

    Does their phone number not work that is posted? I've called several times & it just rings & then says the call cannot be completed

    They're just to busy to answer, no idea why they're busy lol

    Is the number disconnected? There is a Verizon error message

    I had no issues, they answered.

    Do you order at a counter/bar or are there servers?

    Order at the counter or at the bar. It is seat yourself. And they call out your name when the food is ready

    Are they social distancing well or is it packed like it use to be?

    Depends on the holiday but yeah over the weekends it is back to being packed.

    Do they sell their pint glasses at the restaurant?

    Yes, they do!

    Open for dine in?

    Yes, it is!

    Do they have cauliflower crust pizza? Thank you.

    Nope. And I don't think that there are any plans to offer one in the near future.

    Do they accept phone in orders to go?

    Always best to go in person and order to go. It takes a little longer, but the results are better. You're welcome.

    Is there any vegan options for food & beer?

    There are, but they are limited. They have salads, hummus, soft-pretzels, tots, etc. They also have beer buddies which are just dough. I would just check the type of oil they use on the tots and make sure they don't share it with anything else.

    Went here on a Wednesday evening for dinner to meet some friend that were in town. We had…read morereservations and seated right away. It was located right off the freeway and parking was super easy. It wasn't crowded at all. It was a cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. The waitress was super nice and explained the dishes. She kept checking on us at the right time when we ran out of wine! Perfect! We started with foccocia and caprese salad. It was very delicious. Every one but me order a pizza but I've been to other Buona Forchetta before and know the pizza are amazing. Pasta is great, too but pizza is my fav. I ordered now o forget the name but it only had cheese and tomatoes and they allowed me to add a meatball which was giant and buratta. It was soooo good! I also had Sauvignon blanc from Napa that was amazing. Now, I was so excited to see my friend forgot to get pics but it was great. Highly recommend.

    This cozy little spot on the main road in San Clemente offers some tasty Italian eats…read more The restaurant lacks dedicated parking, so you will want to plan ahead to use the attached garage or hunt for a street spot nearby. The inside is inviting and features a nice little patio. The interior has an industrial vibe, but they did a great job with the decor to tie the space together and make it fun. Service was warm, friendly, and quick. The servers answered all our questions thoroughly and were highly knowledgeable about both the dinner and wine menus. The charcuterie platter was mid. Given this is an Italian restaurant, pepper jack cheese felt like the wrong choice, and it was a mistake to trim all the fat off the prosciutto di Parma. The presentation was great, but I would pass on it next time. The special menu had some promising dishes. I tried the asparagus risotto with chili shrimp. The flavor was there and the shrimp was cooked nicely, but the risotto was way too liquidy. I also tried the pappardelle with due pomodori and added guanciale. This was delish, and I would order it every single time I dine here. All in all, this is a great little date spot or a fun place to share food and wine with friends. Check them out!
