The Brightside

Our favorite pizza place in Los Osos or Baywood Park to go to. They have a great local on tap beer selection. Thursday night is trivia night so it can be quite busy.

Vegetarian options: Several good veggie options to put on a pizza

Parking: Sometimes you have to park near the other businesses in their lot and walk a few extra steps when it gets busy.

Kid-friendliness: Free video games for kids to play while waiting for pizza. Keeps kids busy so the parents can actually carry on a conversation and finish their meal.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

After a terrible experience at another restaurant, we walked into Bright Side Pizza hoping for something better—and wow, did they deliver! This place more than made up for it with incredible food, a welcoming atmosphere, and some of the friendliest staff we’ve ever encountered.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and great service. The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and amazing flavors. Every bite reminded us why a great meal can turn your whole night around.

The name says it all—Bright Side Pizza truly was the bright side of our evening. We left happy, full, and already planning our next visit. If you’re in Los Osos, do yourself a favor and eat here. You won’t regret it!

Should be called darkside pizza. Sloppy food prep and way overpriced

This is an excellent place. We had a delicious veggie pizza, perfectly baked with zingy red sauce, with beers from their broad selection of local brews. Taking care of us was the friendly, upbeat crew who embody the motto written on their tee shirts: "We Rise Together."

Afterward, when we asked about coffee (not on the menu), proprietor J. J. brewed us up a couple tasty mugs from his private stash in the back.

If we lived in this area, we would be regulars.

We had such a good time coming in for my husbands birthday with our two little kids. Ashley the owner served us and was a step ahead of us the entire time from seating to offering a high chair to suggesting I at least try their dairy free cheese even though I usually just skip the cheese altogether - it was actually tasty! She also made sure we were at ease with our kids making a mess as they are and said "it's a restaurant we know how to clean up messes". The arcade game room is so cool and great for all ages! And you gotta try their Knotties - rolled pizza like a cinnamon roll but topped with pizza fixin's.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free crust and also a cauliflower crust, I tried the GF and it was a good thing crust. There's also vegan cheese and it was tasty (for being DF ;) bc of course I still miss the days I could eat gluten and dairy. Nonetheless!

Kid-friendliness: The game room has a camera and there's a tv in the side dining area to view so we could keep an eye on our kids and still sit and eat!
