Pier Pizza in Oceanside garners consistent praise for its flavorful New York-style thin crust, noted for its perfect balance of tenderness and a satisfying "snap" when folded. Customers frequently highlight the rich, complex flavors likely resulting from a well-executed fermentation process. The menu variety, including standout options like the Dirty Bird pizza, wings, and garlic knots, receives positive mentions, with some feedback suggesting minor improvements such as crispier wings. The friendly staff and inviting beach-town atmosphere add to the appeal. Additionally, the lunch specials offering two slices and a drink at a value price are appreciated, making Pier Pizza a popular and recommended spot for both quick meals and casual gatherings.

The Dirty Bird pizza was amazing! The honey drizzle on it was The garlic knots were delicious. So much garlic! Wings were delicious also. Just the right amount of kick. I would have liked them a bit more crispy though. Best pizza in Oceanside!

This has to be the best Pizza in Oceanside. Wisconsin Cheese and New York style crust--- thin crust but with a tender chew. I can taste the long ferment they must be using and the resulting rich, complex flavors. Lots of selections and our favorites– Pepperoni and BBQ Chicken were right there by the slice and of course we tried both and were delighted. Could not resist and took a 20 inch home for later. Great location, neat, clean and great service

The perfect "snap" when you fold the pizza says it all. Flavor is spot on. Lunch special $8 for 2 slices (any kind) + drink. Also have salads, desserts, Pepsi products & beer. Will definitely come here again when in the area.

Cool beach town pizza parlor. Totally worth coming with the lunch special- two slices of pizza and a drink for only $8.00. Unbeatable deal, especially when meeting up with friends.

If you enjoyed my review or found it helpful please like it and consider following.parking is curbside but downtown Oceanside is very walkable except on Thursdays. On Thursdays downtown Oceanside has a farmers market in the day and a street fair in the evenings, parking can be hard to come by. If you want to drop in on a Thursday know there is a free parking garage two blocks away at Cleveland and Seagaze. Atmosphere is comfortable, laid back and friendly. They have two big screens going so you can watch sports while knocking back a beer and some fantastic pizza. (As of now beer on tap isn't available but they have a nice selection of microbrew and traditional domestic) I got the two slices and a soft drink for $8. The crust was New York style and it was spot on. Eight bucks is a steal.

I'm visiting the oceanside area and was reading reviews that pier pizza had a 4.9 rating. So being pizza is my favorite. I had to try it. I was alittle disappointed. But to be fair I've had more pizza places than the average. My pros and cons of pier pizza is that the sauce was not the greatest. My favorite about pier pizza was the crust. It was soft inside and crispy on the outside.

I’ve lived in Oceanside a while. I won’t even embarrass myself and say how long but this pizza was great. I’m originally from New Jersey and love pizza to the core of my soul. You guys get 2 thumbs up from me. Chill energy, TVs to entertain and old rock music playing. So Good!!! Less than $10 bucks
