About Pizza Port Brewing Company…

Back in March of 1987 Gina and Vince Marsaglia, a pair of siblings in their 20’s, bought a struggling pizza place in the sleepy coastal town of Solana Beach, just north of San Diego. From a funky storefront on the famous Pacific Coast Highway the duo ran the “Pizza Port” with a classic menu of pizza and chicken wings to which they added their own “San Diego” twist. Early on, free space in the restaurant area was used to dabble in “home” brewing. Eventually, we were brewing more than could reasonably be consumed at “home”. So, we transitioned into the brewpub business. Pizza Port Brewing Company was born when the Pizza Port location offered its first craft-brewed beers to patrons in 1992.

Our Pizza Port locations are known for simple hand-built picnic tables and a hodge-podge décor of surf-related paraphernalia almost at odds with the sophisticated flavors of our food. Pizza Port is devoted to total customer satisfaction by providing the highest quality and the best service humanly possible while having too much fun! We take ultimate pride in our standards by offering a completely unique dining and drinking experience. Our motto is:

“Good Food and Good Beer Bring Good Cheer!”

We take great pride in the quality of our service, pizza, and craft beer. Our high standards can only be maintained through cool people who share our values and desire to provide our guests with the best experience each time they visit us! Does this sound like something you want to be a part of? We are looking for hard working individuals to join our amazing team.
