40 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.“

“During our first day at Pismo we decided to eat at Del’s and it was great, for appetizer we had the fried raviolis 10/10. We tried the meatball calzone which is huge it can definitely be shared, my wife couldn’t decide which pizza to order so the server recommended to do half & half so that was pretty cool, at the end she went with the little Hawaii and the shell beach road both were a 10/10. Also their rolls & honey butter are amazing 🔥“

“Absolutely fantastic. I hadn’t had pizza in a few months because of some food allergy testing, so I did some research before deciding where my first pizza back was going to be. My Friend Mike’s did not disappoint.

The sourdough crust was SO good, perfectly cooked, crispy and chewy, with that slightly funky, tangy flavor that good sourdough has. The tomato sauce was savory, there was just the right amount of cheese, and the toppings were really well balanced. I got the guanciale with mushrooms and onions and it was delicious. Really high quality ingredients.

The staff was really nice, my food was ready exactly on time, and the restaurant was clean and inviting.“

“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.“

“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! 🍕🍻“

“Amazing. Good service. Great food.“

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

“Best crust I have had in years“

“Bear & The Wren is a fantastic pizza spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The pizzas are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, with a great balance of crisp crust, savory toppings, and melted cheese. The menu has plenty to enjoy, and everything we tried was delicious. We will be back!“

“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!!“

“Fantastic service , quality food !“

“Great service and great Pizza 🍕“

“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!“

“Great service and great Pizza 🍕“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Food is always good, and quick delivery“

“Chicken fetachini was delicious but the chicken could have been a bit less tough. Also for the price a small salad would have made this a perfect meal. My husband said he likes his meatball san dough but again for the price wish it would have has more substance. The cheesecake was perfect.“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Awesome food, they have one of my favorite dishes: butternut squash ravioli with a white sauce. I finish the whole plate even if I’m so full I could pop! Outstanding service and a great atmosphere. I love Giuseppe’s 💖“

“Scenic rooftop bar with great drinks.“

“awesome as always thank you 👏 😎“

“Friendliness & quick service“

“When traveling along the coast, I always make it a point to stop at ManRock Brewing Co. Beers are incredible (loved the “Get Him a Hoppy Bag” triple hazy IPA), food is great and comes out fast (try the bacon covered hot dog) and service is always friendly. Was surprised and happy to find they were open July 4th too! Was also able to get some cans of my favorites to bring home.“

“Everytime we go to Humble Oven we have an awesome experience. The kids love the pizza and we tried the Smash Burger 'Za at the Farmers Market and it became one of our new favorites! My wife and I love the Humble Salad so much that we replicate the salad at home. Staff is on top of it and we make it our go to whenever we can. This place is a gem and highly recommend it to others.“

“This is my first time hanging out in Pismo Beach, and I'm really thrilled with the Sea Crest hotel and this place.

Starting with Carlos, who brought bread and opened up the service, he was the epitome of efficiency and sociology.

Justin was attentive and gave us plenty of space when we weren't ready.

The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and there was something about the pizza where the crust seemed both light and filling.

We are eager to come back on our next trip here.“

“Mountain mikes has excellent pizza“

“Rosa’s is one of my very favorite restaurant. Wonderful service and wonderful food. We have shared many wonderful memories 🌺 Thank you🎉 #birthdaydinnerwithfamily“

“Good price for decent pizza but we got delivery and they forgot 2 of 4 pizzas. They refunded what they missed but we still had to pay all the delivery fees again to get the order to us.

Update - they refunded the pizza and delivery charge for the second delivery“

“We got into the area kind of late and wanted a good pizza for the kids. I went and ordered carry out and had a beer while I waited. The staff was super friendly and the pizza was some of the best we’ve had! We got a half supreme and half bacon/sausage. Definitely recommend!“
