29 Best Pizza Restaurants near Avila Beach

“Good pizza. Nice staff quick service“

“Easily the freshest ingredients, friendliest service and most ideal crust (between crisp and chewy thin crust). Hands down the best pizza I've had in central coast.“

“food was phenomenal. the bread and butter they give is so amazing. would definitely come back. the service was ok, the just stared when we walked in and were a bit rude in the end they turned it around. it is also a bit small in there. in my opinion, for how good the food is, it all makes up for it.“

“Moving away from SLO and will miss the pizza and crew from Mikes! Simply the best pizza anywhere. Not just SLO. Not just California. Not just the US. Anywhere! The sourdough crust is unreal and the quality and flavor combos knock your socks off. Next time I am back in SLO the first stop will be Mikes for a Shroomies. Keep it up guys“

“Amazing. Good service. Great food.“

“Holy heck this place is good... Antonia's is a hidden gem in the center of SLO. My first was the Margarita Pizza, and it was so good I didn't want it to end! Now I'm back for The Special.“

“The best pizza we’ve had in years, what a gem!“

“Benny’s Pizza Palace is the real deal! Amazing Detroit-style pizza with that perfect crispy edge, a cool laid-back atmosphere, and a staff that makes you feel right at home. It’s the perfect SLO spot to grab a slice, sip something cold, and vibe with the locals. Highly recommend! 🍕🍻“

“Best crust I have had in years“

“The mac and cheese was exceptional with a nice crispy crust to it. The marinara has a subtle spiciness to it that goes fantastic with the meatballs and the pizza. Service was great, cocktails and beer selection was Fanta fantastic, but this pizza...... Chicago style crust is so fluffy, soft and cheesy. The best pizza by far. 10 out of 10. Great restaurant. You guys are killing it“

“The Pizza wings and Potato wedges were perfect. Everything was hot and freshly made in no time. I just finished a 21K Spartan Race in Slo Cal and this really hit the spot. The service was top notch. Sal really took care of us and made sure my family had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area. Thank you Sal!“

“Absolutely delicious… the best dinner I’ve had out in I don’t know how long!! Definitely going to be my new go to dinner spot!!“

“Great service and great Pizza 🍕“

“Went there to get some pizza after a long drive in the evening.
I wanted to get 4 pizzas for my family and asked the guy for recommendations.
He indeed told me about the best offers and the second guy came to take my order after.
Both were extremely friendly and instantly got me into a happy mood.
With people like this ordering and eating pizza is way more enjoyable.
Need more people like this!!!“

“Fantastic service , quality food !“

“Great service and great Pizza 🍕“

“We ordered a pizza to be delivered. It came a little early but we had been given a heads up that it was coming. They delivered almost to the minute of what they had told us. The pizza was hot and delicious! We can't comment on the atmosphere as we have never been there, yet.“

“My boyfriend & I ordered from Grand American because the Google reviews were great. We had the Mexican Pizza & the Meat Lovers. They were both delicious & we’ll definitely be back. The customer service was exceptional and the restaurant is very clean. Thank you!“

“I am a pizza lover and make my own pizza. I’ve been in Italy with my Italian family and have tasted some of the best pizza. Mike, the owner of Palo Mesa Pizza, knows pizza! Perfect crust and not too crazy American style overdose of toppings. He even shared pizza secretes to keep me enthused. His dough to go is better than anywhere else in SLO.“

“Food is always good, and quick delivery“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“The July 4th Fried Chicken and Bubbles Event was awesome. Service was great and the fried chicken and bubbles was phenomenal. Making this an annual event.“

“We were looking for some take-out to eat back in our motel room after a long day's driving, and the manager at the motel recommended this place. It's a lively student sports-bar pizza joint with an amazing variety of available pies with different crusts, and what looks like maybe 25 beers and other beverages on tap, but the crowd at 8:30 wasn't too noisy or nuts and the guys pulling pints were very friendly. After a free taste (!) we had a pint each of their house-brewed IPA and Red Ale while we were waiting for our pizza, and both beers turned out to be surprisingly good, with the extra surprise that Wednesday was 'Discount Pint Night' or something, so they were a mere $5 each! If we could have rented somebody to carry us back to our motel, we would definitely have knocked down a few more of these brews. The pizza turned out to be delicious, as well. All in all a fun stop.“

“Delicious pizza and awesome customer service 😃 after I left I got a call from an employee, it was the guy who helped me when I picked up my order and he had called to let me know someone had found my debit card on the ground!!! Omg thank you so much for caring enough to call me to let me know, you guys don't even know how much I appreciate that! I wish I had gotten his name so I could mention his name in this review but it was the young man working the counter at 10:30pm on May 12th (2026). Thank you so much! And the pizza was awesome and the cinnamon twists were sooo yummy 😋“

“the best pizzas on the Central Coast .“

“Great food and drinks! First time there def won’t be the last!“

“All of our customers rave about the Pizza! Fresh ingredients and great flavor!!!“

“Brought 40 people in for a post baseball dinner. Service was so fast, so kind and the perfect spot for the loud boys. We will be back!“

“I love Petra’s! We found this place at the beginning of Covid and have been going ever since. Last week driving from northern to southern CA we stopped for lunch(of course). I got distracted and left my purse…didn’t notice until Santa Maria. Called, of course they had my purse…AMAZING CREW AMAZING FOOD! Thank you“
