“Amazingly surprised at how good this joint is. Pretty much a grab n go, so we were not expecting much, but we were hungry.We split a "kitchen sink" pizza, and WOW, it was delicious! The meats were fresh and nicely seasoned, and red sauce tasted freshly made. The crust was light and made with cornmeal which was very tasty.Looking forward to other menu options next trip!“

“Staff is phenomenal, they really make you feel like family! Games, comedy shows, trivia nights, music & more! A wonderful place to engage and be thoroughly entertained throughout the week, and a great venue for both adult kids and kids parties!The Garlic wyngs are crazy good!“

“We stop for Del's every time we come thru Pismo! The service is always good but last night when Joe the manager served us, it was EXCEPTIONAL, along with the food of course... We got the Meatball Hero, steamed fresh veggies, margarita pizza add pepperoni, and some mud pie for dessert. Everything was fantastic and soooo cheesy! I'm already ready to go back and it hasn't even been 24 hours.... Keep up the great work“

“Always a great place for deli salads, pizza, and pasta. I ordered a slice of Margarita pizza, the Caprese salad with ripe grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, olives, red peppers, and sliced jalapenos, and lemonade. This combo is less than $13. Fresh ingredients are brought in daily for their dishes. Service is fast and friendly. Plenty of parking in this strip mall and outdoor seating. Highly recommend it!“

“Service and taste of food was excellent! Value when it came to the salad price fell short. $15.00 for a Cesar salad that only filled half the small bowl, to say this a shareable salad is a joke!! Add more lettuce!!! For the salad to be $15 and a big pizza be $20-25 just doesn't make sense. Food was excellent. Bit noisy as well but fun atmosphere.“

“The food was fresh, yummy and a welcome change from the rest of our road trip food. We ordered ahead to pick up and eat in the car. The order was correct and has all the right stuff like napkins and cutlery. Definitely will stop by again next time we're in town.“

“Excellent food! We stumbled on this place after visiting Montana de Oro and OMG I wish we lived here to come more often! Literally everything we ordered was scrumptious (bolognese, pizza, butternut squash ravioli, tiramisu, chocolate pudding)! We all wanted to lick our plates “

“Service was great went over and above for myself and my kiddos. Pizza was really good, crust was fluffy, sauce and cheese on point. If I lived closer this would be my go to. Environment was relaxed.Kid-friendliness: Had a highchair. Both my kids were given a juice box. The lady even gave my daughter a little squishy toy. Made her day!“

“Been here twice now and am super impressed. The standard issue vegan pizza is delicious, and the sauce is incredibly flavorful and the crust is good. The menu says you can make the veggie pizza vegan as well but I haven't gotten over how tasty the vegan one is. Customer service is also really great and good overall vibe.“

“This business is closed. I called Jimmy D.'s because Mama Leah's wasn't answering (they were listed as operating inside). A Jimmy D.'s employee said "Oh, they've been closed for 3 months," then hung up on me. Sadly, no more Mama Leah's.“

“BELLA! It's rustic and charming with a taste of Italy all around you. There's an excitement in the air along with the smell of the delicious food we waited with anticipation. Servers never missed a beat! Never had an empty glass of water. Never had an empty glass of wine. Will definitely be returning! Thank you for the beautiful ambience and memorable food.“

“I love pizza. I seriously love it. I consider it one of the greatest creations of mankind. We usually order pizza once per week for our movie nights. Before Bravo opened up we usually ordered from Nucci's on Broad, and if we went out we usually went to Petra's. Gino's for after sports events (great pizza plus the arcade games). Having lived in the Midwest 10 years, I appreciate a classic non-nonsense good pizza. I love foodie pizzas too (Flour House is great), but my favorite is still a classic pizza.When Bravo opened up it was quite a bit closer to us than Nucci's, so we thought we'd give it a shot, expecting we'd probably stick with Nucci's since we really liked their pizza as well. Turns out the entire family loves Bravo pizza more than any other pizza place in town. My wife enjoys their salads, and often orders a fancier pizza (cauliflower crust, gluten free, supreme, BBQ, white sauce, you name it) whereas I typically go with the classic--pepperoni, sometimes cheese.Best pizza in SLO in my humble opinion. For a classic pizza, you can't beat Bravo. Fair price, always friendly staff.“

“Girlfriend is gluten free and reviews said best gluten free pizza. She had a gluten free margherita pizza, 8.5 outa 10 only for it being slightly burnt but the ingredients and flavors were stellar!Mozzarella sticks were crack, I still want moreDietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pizza“

“Easily the BEST brewery in the 5 cities!! They've been around for a while and I can certainly understand why! Their beers are tasty. Food is delicious. Staff is so friendly. They have great deals basically every day of the week. And the atmosphere just feels like you're chilling in your backyard with good people. Love this place and will certainly be back!“

“Tried Gino's pizza last year while vacationing in Pismo and it was amazing pizza! Came back 6 months later and still great pizza. Place feels like an old pizzeria. Service is great and the pizza comes out "Hot"! The sauce they use is not acidic (no heartburn for me) and the crust is awesome!“

“One of our favorite places to dine in SLO proper. Always a tasty pizza here with 00 floor that’s very unique when standing up to other pizzas in the city and county. A bit on the pricier side, but the service/quality of food is never lacking. One of the nicer spots in town to eat ?“

“The pizza and wings are to die for! Just disappointed because your kitchen closes an hour early and that's not mentioned anywhere. Got off work late and was craving some wings - but was told you kitchen closed at 9 while the restaurant closes at 10. Definitely coming back but sad this wasn't posted on your website.“

“Probably the best calzone and cheesy sticks I’ve ever had. Sal, the owner has the best customer service and service with a smile. That Is one of the reasons I will continue to go back to beach Pizza along with the amazing food. Sal, keep up the great work and that amazing personality of yours, you don’t Get that type of service anymore, so thanks for keeping it alive.“

“Woodstock’s is awesome. We order it for our office regularly and went in today for my daughter’s birthday party and they were beyond accommodating. Chilled our cake for us, had tables and our pizzas and salad ready upon arrival, even included cinnabread for the birthday girl. Would definitely recommend for gatherings or parties!Kid-friendliness: Perfect place for kids to have fun, plenty of seating and some arcade games.“

“Loved this food!!!The clamchowder was delicious even without the coveted bread bowl. My father loved it. As a former chef he especially enjoyed the presentation of it.I had the ravioli and I was impressed. Ceasar salad eith anchovies was was great. The marinara pizza was delicious too.“

“OMG! We hit the jackpot when we stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting Pismo Beach. The service was incredible, and the food was outstanding. During our first visit my husband and I shared the spaghetti and meatballs with bolognase sauce as well as the pasta with Italian sausage. We loved it so much we went back a few days later. This time I had the ravioli and my husband couldn't resist eating the pasta with Italian sausage for the 2nd time. Yum! Upon returning to Southern California, my husband and I keep joking about making the 4 hour drive just for a meal! Will definitely visit this great establishment again in the near future.“

“Express stop for quality food! Small restaurant with outside tables in a very efficient space filled with Italian varieties of olive oils, Gelato and picnic supplies. Staff is professional, friendly and will provide you consierge service! Customer service is key when I was working with a 20 minute window. Ordered: Ravioli de Zucca and Antipasto Salad with plates and silverware for picnic with mom at the AG Rehab hospital. In that 20 minutes- I ordered the meal, and went next door to Sans Liege Wines for a large taste of Syrah and 2 bottles to go home for after visit. Mission accomplished and our hospital picnic was packed with care, was good portion size for 2 and made my mom so happy! The ravioli was perfectly tender and flavorful with that luscious creamy sauce. The salad was a beautiful fresh mix and good size. This is a great spot for picking up food for any occasion. Highly recommend!!“

“Alex and the rest of the staff was incredibly kind and the drinks were more than reasonably priced. Loved this place so much we came back twice even during the rain. The drinks are delicious and it offers a different view of SLO. Could not recommend this place enough. We will be back.“

“My favorite place in Pismo! I enjoyed my first visit so much that I came back twice! Good beer, lots of sports channels, and I made a few friends. The bartenders were awesome. They were quick to serve and kept up with the crowd. The bar has a neighborhood bar feel. It's not touristy but is probably for tourists. It's so close to the beach you can probably go back and forth pretty easy. Go check them out!“

“Had a fantastic experience here last night. The starter, steak bites, was outstanding. Our party ordered a cross section of the menu, and every item was delicious. We finished off with out-of--this-world cheesecake and coconut pastry. All of this goodness and, honestly, the service was impecable. My newest favorite eatery in San Luis Obispo!!!“

“I have been going to Nuccis for nearly 30 years!! I moved about an hour away...I was in SLO today and couldn't wait to pop in! They still have my favorite lunch special - salad and a slice of pizza!! Seriously the BEST pizza ever !!! Thank you Nuccis for being consistently yummmmmyyyyy!!“

“The service was phenomenal. Autumn was so sweet and her energy throughout our dinner service was one of a kind. The Chicken Picatta was delicious to say the least. My son enjoyed his Chocolate Lava cake which melted in his mouth. I love coming to Rosa's.“

“Had the onion rings for appetizer and they were very good…I had the fish n chips and they were so deelicious…restaurant was clean & all the servers were nice…they have a great selection of beers…the restroom was clean & even smelled “

“Located in the main building of the SLO Public Market, Humble Oven serves pizzas, pastas made from scratch, salads, and other specialties. We were in the mood for a good meatball sandwich. Since our regular go-to option has closed, we headed over to the SLO Public Market complex to try Humble Oven.Ordering was easy and quick. The personnel were very cordial and friendly, and the food was quite good. Our order of an Italian Meatball Sub and a Meatball Classic pasta was ready within 10 minutes.Their Italian Meatball Sub consists of four pork & beef meatballs, lemon ricotta, calabrian chili, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, topped with fresh basil on a French hoagie roll. The Meatball Classic pasta has three meatballs, pomodoro sauce, ricotta cheese, and housemade rigatoni pasta. On many of their offerings, one may customize their selection with additional choices of protein and/or veggies. Both of our selections were very flavorful, and we enjoyed them. One should know their tomato sauce is rather spicy, and the Meatball Sub seemed to have just a bit more warming heat, probably from the addition of calabrian chilis. The sauce on both seemed very similar.The price point is similar to an establishment offering table service. Considering all their food is packaged "to go", and one eats with plastic utensils and paper towels as napkins, it is expensive. They have a small counter to eat at, or one may sit in the main hall or outside at the courtyard tables.They use only the finest ingredients imported from Italy. The food was delightfully delicious.“

“Man what can I say except amazing…. Best pizza and friendly service ever. The pizza stands up to all the trendy hip joints at half the price. Great ( CLEAN ) salad bar and ice cold beer.Hope they make a go of it because I won’t go anywhere else for pizza from now on…“

“Doughboy's is a long time favorite here on the Central Coast! They were pioneers of gluten free pizza, setting the bar high for others to "try" and imitate. They also have vegan cheese for all the vegans as well as for those who have lactose sensitivity like my youngest Daughter (a life saver let me tell ya!!! Haha)Their pizza crust has just the right amount of fluff while holding onto a perfect hardiness. Sauce, cheese and toppings finish off the pie just how it needs to be, delicious!They also have an assortment of appetizers, pastas and other eats that are also top notch....OMG, the lasagna is AMAZING!! Definitely one of our favorites!The crew are always friendly and on it and the atmosphere is chill, they are set up for takeout or delivery.Dietary restrictions: Their vegan cheese is great if you're lactose sensitive, but if you have a higher level of sensitivity, you probably still want to be care, avoid or take a lactose pill. They are great about warning you that the dough is made with milk, but for my Daughter it's not enough to give her trouble, just depends on your sensitivity level.Also, I'm not into the gluten free lifestyle, but friends I know who are, absolutely rave about their gluten free pizza, apparently it's the best ever! Sometimes they run out so try to get it early, they are very strict about the processing of it so limited quantities might be available depending on the demand.“

“I grew up next to a Me n Eds in Fresno, it's what pizza is supposed to taste like. They've reproduced both the restaurant and the pizza exactly as I remember it.If you've never tried this place, do it. It's a unique pizza, sooooo good“

“The best pizza place in San Luis Obispo. The crust is great but the best part is the sauce. It's not on the menu but ask for the pink sauce. It's an incredible mix of tomato sauce and Alfredo sauce. Plus they only do two for one! Perfect pizza joint for a college town. 10/10“

“It's alcohol! You can't go wrong with that they have good food items on the menu. They have a few card games available & a connect 4. They have a variety of local brewed beers and their sangria is top notch. Service is good, very welcoming and attentive. You gotta check it out.“

“This restaurant is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. I came for lunch on a Monday. I opted for a slice of cheese pizza with a Caesar salad. The price was ten dollars and some change which I thought was a great deal. There is a seating area and two tvs. If ambiance is your priority, you may be disappointed. I found the restaurant clean and well lit. My food came out in a reasonable time and I was happy with both dishes. The salad was fresh and the pizza had a good flavor.“

“My husband and I stopped here on our way back from Big Sur. It looked like a super cool place that allowed dogs. The owner Steven opened up and immediately welcomed our pups (and us). Steven is super chill and really fun to chat with, and we had such a great time we decided to stick around Pismo Beach for the night. We spent most of the day and night at The Boardroom playing darts, making friends, and having a total blast. The beer is delicious and most patrons are there to kick back and have a good time. People of all ages seemed at ease and it was clear how beloved Steven was in town. Thanks for teaching me how to stop throwing darts "like a sissy dinosaur" haha! We will 10000% be going to Pismo again so we can go to this bar!“

“Parking: There's always the spot to park no worriesKid-friendliness: And the kids can watch and make a pizza because they have a glass between the cooking area and the viewing areaWheelchair accessibility: You can get through the doorway but there's not a whole lot of room inside for a wheelchair it's best to order out“
