Washington Square Pizza is a compact walk-up spot near the beach turning out New York–leaning slices and whole pies from a simple counter. It’s the kind of place locals hit on foot for a quick, affordable slice before or after time on the sand.
Must-Try Dishes:
Cheese slice, Pepperoni slice, Veggie combination pizza

What makes it special: Beach-adjacent slice window serving straightforward New York–style pies.
Who should go: Beachgoers wanting fast, inexpensive slices
When to visit: Lunch and early evening for fresh pies out of the oven
What to order: Cheese or pepperoni slice, plus a veggie-topped pie to share
Insider tip: Grab your slice and eat on the move toward the water.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only in the Marina Peninsula; can be tight during beach hours but easier on weeknights.
Dress code: Ultra-casual; beachwear, sandals, and grab-and-go attire are all normal.
Noise level: Low to moderate; it’s a walk-up counter with minimal seating, so noise is mostly from foot traffic outside.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes depending on slice turnover; whole pies may take 15–20 minutes.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait for slices; small wait for whole pies.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — cheese, veggie slices, and build-your-own veggie pies available.
Vegan options: Limited — may offer sauce-only or veggie-topped pies without cheese, but no dedicated vegan cheese.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free crust; not recommended for strict gluten-free diners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual hangouts than formal dates; ideal if you’re grabbing quick slices before a beach walk, not for a full sit-down meal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations and minimal seating; expect to eat standing, on a bench, or while walking to the beach.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick stops — slices are inexpensive and fast — but note the lack of indoor seating and limited space for strollers.
Best For
Better for: Fast, affordable slices steps from the sand — ideal for beachgoers and solo diners wanting a no-frills option.
Skip if: You want gourmet toppings, craft pies, or a sit-down dining experience; try Pizzana or Sampa’s for elevated options.
