About Best Pizza & Brew | San Diego's Craft Beer & Pizza Restaurant

Best Pizza & Brew is a locally owned craft-beer and pizza restaurant with 9 locations spanning Cardiff, Oceanside, Mira Mesa, Clairemont, Carmel Mountain, Vista, Escondido, Murrieta, and Chandler, AZ.

Founded in 2013, we serve hand-tossed pizzas, Detroit-style pies, and pizza by the slice alongside a rotating selection of local craft beers, artisanal wines, and a full bar. You can find us in Cardiff, Oceanside, Mira Mesa, Clairemont, Carmel Mountain, Vista, Escondido, Murrieta, and Chandler, AZ.

Hand-Crafted Pizza. No Shortcuts.

Our signature pizza dough is made fresh daily, topped with premium mozzarella, house-made marinara, and fresh ingredients. Signature pies include the Best White Pizza (rosemary-garlic oil, spinach, ricotta, caramelized onions, and roasted garlic), the Buffalo Chicken, and our thick, crispy Detroit-Style. We also offer vegan cheese and gluten-free crust options. Our wings, calamari, and fries are fried in 100% beef tallow.

Craft Beer, Full Bar, and Weekly Specials

Every location features a spacious taproom with a massive, rotating tap list of local craft beers, including a legendary lineup from Karl Strauss Brewing Company, San Diego's original craft beer pioneer. We also pour artisanal wines and run a full bar. Weekly specials include Wednesday Pint Nights and Monday $1.25 Wings. We're open for dine-in, online ordering, pickup, delivery, and catering for corporate events, parties, and private gatherings.
