Bud & Alley’s Pizza Bar + Trattoria

Sat for 10 minutes and no one else at bar. No one acknowledged me even though they walked by twice.

15% automatic gratuity. I went to the window to order food and I picked up my own food. Should not be an automatic gratuity. Pizza was good.

Vegetarian options: Poor/- veggie pizza had olives only.
Would not go back nor recommend i.

We have a house in this area and often come to Bud and alleys. Employees are never friendly and always seem to be grumpy. They automatically add 15% gratuity and then they want you to sign for additional tip. I believe this is dishonest. The pizza is really good. I just wish they were a little nicer.
Pizza was a little bit burnt this time.

Overall, the food was pretty good and delivered quickly. Menu prices were somewhat high, but the restaurant is in a high traffic area, so I get it.

However, the reason for the poor rating is there is an automatic 15% gratuity added to all checks. You order standing at a window and the only “service” is they bring your food out to your table. It’s a deceptive money grab. I wouldn’t even be as frustrated if they raised their menu prices 15% in order to pay their staff a fair wage, but the automatic tip for no real service is underhanded and bad business.

I won’t be going back.

Food was great but very pricey for some pizza. They also add 20% gratuity and another fee. 3 people, our bill was $150

Never get bottled water here! Came to Bud & Alley's with my dad to get some water. We had been biking so we were REALLY thirsty & the hot weather wasn't helping. ? Asked for some water & a nice man gave us a bottle of fancy looking water. My dad didn't tell me that he had paid $16 for two bottles till we had left. ? The food looked amazing HOWEVER $7 bottled water is wild.

Great place to get something to eat right in Seaside. They have a variety of things to eat besides pizza (when it's 85 degrees out, we weren't feeling like it) and they have nice drinks and beer. There's a happy hour from 3-5 at least on the weekdays that is pretty good.

Excellent gluten free pizza! It’s rare to find good gluten free pizza but this place hit the mark. Their regular pizza looked great too, though I didn’t try it personally. The salad was excellent too—lots of veggies and not just lettuce. The Brussel sprouts were a very large portion and were a tasty appetizer. Quick, friendly service and easy seat-yourself dining. Food was priced right and wasn’t too expensive, plus it was huge portions.

Dietary restrictions: GF pizza available

We came here for a casual dinner and it was just what we’d hoped for! We ordered the margarita pizza on gluten free crust, the gluten free crust actually tasted like dough instead of the cracker-like GF crust we’re used to! the service was very friendly and efficient, and they had lots of seating options! I highly recommend you stop by on your visit to this amazing little town!

Vegetarian options: The margarita pizza is delicious and they have lots of salads!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free crust that’s actually amazing!

Parking: Paid lot near by, I recommend you walk from there! (It’s hard to find parking on the Main Street!)

Kid-friendliness: This whole town is super kid friendly but this place especially! They had a bar seating option and lots of tables!

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is very wheelchair accessible!

Feels like a money grab.The food itself is pretty good. That said, for almost $20 for a personal size pizza, I expected it to be much better.If the food was exactly the same, but between $10-$15, I might give it like 3-4 stars. But it was just ok, seemed low effort, and was $19. Then, they automatically add 15% gratuity to all orders.All in all, for the price (and the automatic gratuity on all orders), I would not recommend.

Awesome pizza! Bbq chicken was amazing!Definitely worth checking out

The pizza is really good! Try the Supreme!! It came with a lot of cheese! The pizza is a wood fired style pizza. The pizza is about 8 pieces. Inch

Sat upstairs. Awesome shrimp And grits and burger. Bartender Brian terrific. Sad that the woman running the pizza bar didn’t tell us we could order pizza upstairs until 3pm. Drove an hour for their white clam pizza
