It took a year being in the neighborhood before checking out Poseidon Project. A year too long! Poseidon Project hit the nail on the head on all points. 1) The right ratios. A good pizza with a crispy crust! We consistently get pepperoni pizzas. Basic but perfect. The pies come out quickly, with the perfect amount of marinara, toppings and that all so important crispy thin crust. 2) Low key. You order at the counter, and can select from a great list of rotating beers to accompany your pie. 3) Friendly staff. Each time we've visited, the staff has been prompt, friendly and helpful. 4) Chill vibe. It's a very low key setting. It's local couples of all ages. It's a dude and his young kids while mom's on her girls night out. They have ample seating and a few tvs and a few games to enjoy while you wait and while you eat. For a really nice pizza, a good craft beer and an affordable, fast meal, this is the place. read more

Finished dinner here and while food was fine, was very irked about their Tuesday "2 pizzas for $30". On their website didn't specify the type of pizza so when we get the bill we're surprised our pizzas are full price. Apparently the deal only applies to a couple of their more basic pizzas. We were told they haven't updated their website to clarify but will still have to pay full price. So she acknowledged their mistake but too bad for us? Not cool read more

I could smell the oven from outside the place and was immediately hungry. Ordered a small pizza from the wood burning oven. Was great! Unique craft cocktails and beers. Happy stopped in. read more

Wow wtf happened tonight they really don't know how to run this pizza joint. YIKES! Don't come here if you're really hungry. Took them 1 hour just to figure out why they had forgotten my pizza order. I would give 2 stars but their beer selection is great and they had a kombucha which I loved. COMPLETELY BURNT CRUST also. If the pizza was already extremely late and everyone's waiting for forever why were they cooking it for so long? But they comped my pizza so I was okay with it. Poseidon... get your shit together and learn how to run a pizza joint it can't be that hard guys! read more

SO GOOD. We tried to go to a pizza place near Ocean Beach but being out-of-towners didn't realize how CRAZY BUSY it would be. Searched Yelp for a pizza place near-by us but NOT too close to the beach, ended up here. NOT disappointed. The pizza was delicious. We ordered 3 different ones, Hot Honey, BBQ Chicken and Pepperoni (for the kids). Loved every single one. My 4 yr old (VERY picky eater, like he eats with his eyes first and won't touch anything green) absolutely loved this place. He ate half of the pepperoni and barely came up for a breath! Service was great, guys were laid back and friendly, we even left with two hats because we loved the pizza so much. Will definitely be back again! read more

Great pizza and cocktails!! Is this 85 characters yet? Why do I need to leave such a long review? I'd post more of it wasn't the case.

Service was awesome. Pizza was awesome. But the oven fired wings were one of the best I have ever had. It's spicy, well seasoned, and smoky. All you need is the sausage & pepper pizza with their wings and don't forget some beer...maybe 3 or 4. read more

Wood fired baby. The best. Also enjoy very much the pizzas out of scripps ranch. Thank you

A secret gem in the Bay Ho area! Everyone overlooks them because they don't exactly have a ton of beers on tap (8 to be exact) but the lineup changes every week and most are from local breweries. Their main focus is on their bottles of craft beer and wine. They have bottles in the fridge to go and another list of bottles that are for in-house consumption only. You can consume any there for no corkage fee. Personal bottles brought on-site are subject to a $5 corkage fee (very pricey!). Expect to find some hard-to-find/ non-SD beers both in the fridges and on their specialty bottle list. These are a tad on the pricier side, but it's totally worth it because it's difficult to get these in SD anyways. Hell yes to De Garde, Upland, Crooked Stave, Logsdon, and Rare Bottle! They boast a decently sized space, offer plenty of seating, and they are also dog friendly. Often times, they invite vendors to serve up food to hungry customers! Customer service can be a hit or miss depending on who's manning the place. Shout out to Stew, the man! He hooked it up with some pours on our last visit since we were splurging on bottles left and right. Awesome spot and perfect for any large gathering! I had a group of 25 people here on my b-day and we were very comfortable on a Thursday night. Also very well taken care! read more

I live in the neighborhood and don't come here often and now I know why. They are so RUDE, it doesn't seem to matter what staff member is here they are awful. I get that you are understaffed but my simple questions made this bartender very angry. Plenty of other better pizza joints around plus the crust is thin and sometimes burnt it's honestly an awful vibe. read more

Started coming here when a friend recommended it to me. Been coming back routinely for about 2 years now. Best customer service experience I've had from a restaurant. The bar selection itself is worth the visit. Great Tequila, Meszcal, Bourbons and beer.. Try the Coririta. Invented by one of the amazing staff here named Cori. She is hands down the best bartender, customer service person and always smiling and happy. Was there earlier tonight and the staff was on it as always. Amazing pizza, wings and customer service provided by Cori and Jill. Lots of laughs, great conversation and friendly guests. Definitely try the wings and hot honey pizza. You won't regret it.

Don't sleep on this place. First time here, and am not disappointed. I'm not a beer gal but was recommended one that i enjoyed very much the Liliko'I kepolo. The pizza special, Jonny boy pie, was really good. Not sure why this place is empty most times. There's plenty of room and outdoor seats. If you want a chill place where you can hear some tunes from outside and good service, this is a good choice. read more

Simply the best beer bar/pizza joint you'll find in coastal SD. The vibe is so cool and hip, much like Magellan on his inaugural journeys-ya know what I mean! Or if you don't just know this - Nate n' crew have something special in a growing area of San Diego. So get here before the trolley line is finished and ya can't find a seat! read more

I have been coming here since it opened, my brother was even a bartender here. Three bad experiences in a row. All dine in, our last visit the pizza was soo over cooked it was a cracker. Today the crust was cooked perfect but we ordered the hot honey and there were literally 7 pepperoni (size of a quarter which is correct) 3 of which on 1 slice. Then 2 slices had no cheese. Honestly we loved this place but won't be back.​ read more

Great bbq chicken pizza. Wonderful atmosphere. Excellent service. Nice selection of beers.

We decided to try a pizza from Poseidon while visiting a family home near by. I'm giving them 3 stars only because the staff was great. Very friendly. Even with friendly staff the bottom line is it's the food that brings you back to any restaurant. We were really hoping we'd found a really good pizza place near the family vacation home. NOPE! The quality of the ingredients where good, but the pizza itself was really pretty bad. They do a thin crust which we like, but this was limp and the texture was unusually chewy. Not the experience we're used to in our pizza. It really didn't have that pizza dough flavor. Kinda hard to describe. Anyway not for us especially considering it cost $20 for a 12" pie. Had it been good we'd have been happy paying that price for a high quality pizza. Maybe our experience was a one off but we'll never know. read more

Can you say.....BREAKFAST PIZZA? This plays slays in friendly community vibes and hottest local brews and pizzas/bites - but now they're also speaking the San Diego language: weekend brunch. Experience Turbo Lite: the new mimosa. read more

NY Pizza snob here who misses the NY/NJ/CT pizzas terribly. Almost all (except Bronx pizza) SD pizza is flimsy and disappointing and i usually make my own at home instead if i really want. Decided to have a "make my own" here and i was pleasantly surprised. Pizza folded and didn't fall apart and was delish. Hidden gemn for sure. (5 stars would be impossible in san diego, so 4 is really good!) read more

Hands Down the best Pizza in San Diego. Every time I go in I feel very welcomed and iI feel very comfortable. If they ever decide to open in Las Vegas they would crush it. So many wannabes pizza places in Las Vegas. This place would take them all out of business. I love this place. Been coming in for years. read more

I love the Tuesday pizza deal at Poseidon. Sadly, last night our pizzas were forgotten somewhere along the way. I waited almost 40 minutes for two pizzas to go. When they finally came, they were totally cold. I'm not sure where they were sitting, but they had obviously been sitting there for a while. Super disappointed. read more

I don't get it. This place makes killer pizza. Like really good pizza. Not super greasy, perfectly thin crust, good ingredients. Solid tap list. But there's no one here! Maybe it's the location, but damn I hope this place stays around. I think it holds its own against the best pizza shops in SD, and this is coming from someone who loves Luigi & Bronx. 1000% recommend. read more

Why isn't there a line out the door everyday of the week at this place. Incredible service at every turn, great food, great selection of beer and spirits. Absolutely in the top 5 places to visit in San Diego. read more

Poseidon Project - Beer and whiskey. - Beer Bar Near Me - San Diego, California

My Experience Met a friend here for happy hour drinks on a Thursday evening. Plenty of free street parking, and we were both lucky enough to find a spot right in front. The inside is nicely done, apparent from the moment you walk in that the owner spent some money on the decor. The owner Nate greeted us as we walked in and was very attentive while we were there. I did notice that he approached every party and seemed to genuinely care about everyones experience. The Beer list was diverse and the pizza looked too good to pass up. We ordered a vegeterian pizza and the quality of the pizza was impressive. The ingredients were very fresh and genorously spread throughout the entire pie. The service here was top notch the entire visit and we were so glad we discovered this place. Defenitly coming back! Added bonus: place is dog friendly read more

Delicious wood fired pizza with high quality ingredients. Probably one of the best margarita pizzas I have had. Very friendly service. Ordered a plate of wings, they were just ok. 5 stars for the pizza. read more

Our friends waited over 2 HOURS for their pizza, and finally cancelled their order after waiting patiently. The pizza arrived after it was cancelled and it was already on the table, and the chef made our waiter return it back. Seriously? A free pizza or at least half off should have been offered to them. Terrible service and a bad way to treat your customers! The chef needs to be fired because he has an attitude problem and no respect for the customers. Management - get it together and be prepared for situations like Memorial Day which attracts large crowds! read more

Awesome Pizza. Pricy but worth it. Not a local, but would come back if I'm ever in the area again. Service is quick, casual and friendly employees. The Cali Squeeze Draft is an amazing Heff! Had the four cheese and the meaty baller, delicious. Come check them out! read more

Love love love I normally call ahead since the pizzas take a bit but they are delicious and have the best gluten free crust I've found in San Diego. I also frequently head next door to Harland brewing and order from there. read more

I came here for the first time because I was waiting for food next door and figured I would get a beer. The guy that served me was short and quick, I asked for a decent IPA, he said hazy or not, I said not and he gave me one choice with no explanation. Ok, so I go outside to sit at a table to drink the beer and he immediately comes out to ask if I am getting food somewhere else and tells me I need to leave and not eat there. Super rude, too bad because I live up the road and hoped this place had potential...beer was mediocre too:( bummer read more

This place blows. Pizza is way overpriced. Service is slow and the drinks are terrible. I won't be coming back. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Maybe the beat pizza in San Diego! Thin, thin, thin Neapolitan style pizza. Everything from the margarita to the more exotic pizzas are sooo good! You can tell the owners really care. Love of food goes into everything from the dough to the pizza oven to the ingredients of the toppings. Great selection of beer! Everyone is super friendly. read more

Typically an ok spot to get some to go food, but tonight, it was awful. The pizza was half cooked, and the ingredients were barely prepared. After eating half, we tossed it out, so we would not get sick. It seems the dough and other ingredients have changed. We hope you get back to the fastball ! read more

Poseidon Project has the best wings. Please @ me and tell me otherwise. Wood fired to perfection. So good.

Delicious and reasonably priced pizzas! The size is good for one hungry person or two at the most. This would be a great first date spot as they have great beer options and quick pizzas! I especially love their hot honey and bbq chicken pizzas. The Spinach Ricotta is pretty lackluster and doesn't have much if any flavor read more

I never write reviews. But this place was bad enough to warrant one from me. Ordered a meatballer pizza and asked for pepperonis to be added to it, along with an order of wings. I picked up the pizza after waiting in a line for 30 minutes bottlenecked by one register. Got home and the pizza was cold, soggy, didn't have the pepperonis that we were charged for. 0 stars, honestly would have preferred a microwaveable pizza over what we got. Then I opened the wings and saw what ended up being the worst wings I've ever received. They were charred black, not sure who thought putting those in the box thought anyone would be ok with eating those, but we aren't. 33 bucks for all this? Never again. Tried to call back to get this squared away and nobody answered the phone, it rang until it dropped my call. I wish I could give this place 0 stars. read more

Poseidon PSundays have become a regular occurrence in our household. Amazing thin-crust pizza (Loaded Baked Potato is my fave), yummy cocktails and a decent selection of beers. Indoor and outdoor seating, and tv's to watch the games. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

First review on Yelp in a long time, so I had to give a shout out to Nate and the gang. Its a small chill place with a great beer selection (although only about a dozen taps), cans for sale or to go, and great pizza!! The pizza is wood fired and really tasty. Oven is small so they can get backed up if really busy. (Like when some idiots showed up with an entire girls soccer team and all the parents!) read more

Ordered on doordash- after having the order accepted and processed, we had to find out from our driver that they no longer do Doordash- (just accept your money). Unsure of the quality of food, but buyer beware for anyone looking at this place for delivery. It wasted my families time and the person trying to earn money through delivery. read more

This updated review is overdue. My husband and I visited this place again after we received an email advert that they will be serving roasted pig on Saturday about 6 weeks ago at 1pm. When we came the place had about 7 guests (3 at the bar and two quests at two tables). The bartender was playing on his laptop and didn't have too much curtesy to actually pay attention, recommend or be friendly. We ordered the pig sandwich and pint combo for $12 and a pint for me as I didn't trust the food. The sandwich was tasteless, tiny, you know like they have these "pull pork bites" appetizers you can grab in variety of places for $3 each? We were so disappointed both with the quality of the sandwich, with its size and lack of creativity to make it taste good. The pork was tender but absolutely tasteless, cooked with no spices etc. So did my husband got a shitty sandwich worth $3 for $6 and a pint for $6 worth a total of $12? OR did my husband got a $3 shitty sandwich with a $9 pint combo for a $12? Either one is CRAP!! Don't attempt to serve food and please, adjust your attitude. Great people, smile...work on your personality bc not a single sane Bay Park hommie will support you if you continue like that. Ultimately, why would I want to come to your place if I have Luce, Bay Park Fish, Dan Diegos or High Dive all in walking distance....THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in your establishment that would make me want to step into your joint again...or simply choose yours above the others. Even Silver Spigot is better than yours because even though they have shitty beer on tap, they have good beer bottled, pool table, foosball and darts. I mean there is really NOTHING to make me check you out again. read more
