Food is great but what really stood out about this place is the treatment I get from servers at this place, especially Kubra and Tom. Otherwise, the custom made pizza I requested with pineapple and anchovies was so delicious.

We had an incredible meal at North Beach Pizza! The pizza was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The menu had a great variety of options, and everything we tried was fantastic. We had 2 pizzas- the aloha and a plain cheese.

Massive eating area with 3 different seating locations one of which is a private room great for party’s and catering options. The food is great, pizza is light feeling in the gut and so hard to get tired of definitely stopping by any chance I get.
