Opened in 2010 as the fourth location for the Marsaglia family's brewpub chain—founded by siblings Gina and Vince Marsaglia in Solana Beach in 1987—Pizza Port Ocean Beach brews on-site at 1956 Bacon St and rotates roughly 25 house beers alongside 15-plus guest taps. The OB brewhouse earned a 2024 World Beer Cup gold medal for its Junk In Da Trunkel Dunkel in the South German-Style Dunkel Weizen category, adding to the brand's lifetime haul of over 100 Great American Beer Festival medals and contributing to an OB craft corridor that includes Kilowatt Brewing Ocean Beach. Counter-service pizza spans location-specific pies—the Ocean Beach Pizza, the Carlsbad, the San Clemente—plus shareable Beer Buddies garlic-cheese bread that functions as the kitchen's signature appetizer. Vince Marsaglia's homebrewing hobby in a restaurant storage room grew into the production brewery that helped define San Diego's —second wave— of craft brewing in 1992. The OB taproom's dog-welcoming indoor and outdoor seating, surfboard-and-tiki décor, and proximity to Bacon Street's brewery cluster—which extends to Mike Hess Brewing Ocean Beach—make it a hub for post-surf pints. The highest-volume format is the full-buyout event package combining on-site brewed kegs, custom pizza builds, and the Oktoberfest-style communal bench seating for private parties.
