Best Pizza & Brew Oceanside

Decent. Took food to go. Will try eating in house next time

Good pizza, but it’s ridiculous that they charge $40 for a growler and then don’t discount subsequent refills of their own growler. Yes- if you bring back their growler, you will pay $40 to refill it, and you don’t get another growler to keep. The employee that refilled it for me told me that’s their policy.

Edit: I went back a few days later, and to their credit, the manager gave me a free growler to accommodate me. Even the manager says their policy is indeed to charge full price for growler refills, but Joey says that’s not the case in their reply to me, so it seems there’s a big miscommunication happening here.

I reached out to Joey about this over email and have received no response.

Parking: Small parking lot, probably will need to park on street

Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.

Its just reheated pizza shrug

Didn't care too much for the dog jumping on the counter where you placed your order. Outside of that, 👍🏾

Their pizza is overpriced, I ordered a large pepperoni when I got the pizza and pull a slice out of the tray it folded like a pancake. They told me it was New York style that’s why it was so thin🤔. Not a fan of their toppings low quality it gives an after taste.
Sorry but I’ll pass next time.

The slice I got was super mediocre. Small, kinda burnt, but also lukewarm, you could tell was made hours ago. Garlic knots were superb though! The service counter folk were really nice and they had loads of seating options. Outdoor too.

Went here because the reviews were so good but we were really disappointed. Ordered one pizza to go. They were busy so we expected a wait, but 50 minutes later my husband went to check. They had it made and clearly forgot, but the worker lied and said they called our name three times. We were sitting 10 feet away at the bar and never heard anything. They had also given us a table number as a backup way to find us, but never looked. Mistakes happen and that’s fine, but lying and having poor customer service about a mistake isn’t the way to go.

Pizza is tasty and the beer is top-notch.

Pizza slices here are very affordable but I go to Best only during the last hour of their operating hours. You can’t beat discounted $2.50 slices of pizza which you can only get during the last hour of the day and the beer selection is huge. I’ve never been disappointed with any of the beers I’ve tried there. My go to beer is either the Best IPA or Best Hazy.

I’ve ordered a whole pie once before here and you can definitely tell the difference between a hot fresh pie versus their discounted slices at the end of the day. Both are good—A whole fresh pie has great flavor and is a bit more doughy while the discounted slices appear a little flatter. The ranch is homemade for sure. You can tell with how much dill they put in it.

Overall a great spot for pizza and beer.

Good pizza, good salads, good brews on tap, and good service. We take our family here when in town for this SoCal vibe establishment. The dog menu is also a huge positive, my Snoopy gives the bacon/burger 5 loud barks!
