Pier Fifty-Three Bar & Brick Oven Restaurant

We visited Pier 31 want for the first time on a Saturday for lunch with 4 adults and 1 toddler. Pier 31 is a unique open air bar and eatery with a wood fired pizza oven and a decent menu with good variety. We ordered 2 jumbo shrimp cocktails, 3 pizzas and a PB&J off the kid's menu. We had about a whole pizza left to take home. The service was great. Morgan was our lead server and even though the staff were young, their experience, energy and excellent teamwork created a first class dining experience. This is a family friendly establishment and there are even games for kids (young and old) inside and out. Plenty of dock space for locals to boat in, jump out and have lunch or dinner. Highly recommended that you join in the fun!

Awesome views. Awesome food. Awesome staff. Very nice on a sunny afternoon or a beautifully lit evening watching reflections across the waterway.

Celebrated my son's 21st birthday here! Had a super night, live band, fun crowd, great service and drinks, friendly & helpful staff, all in a cool setting.

Pier 53 is a must! Incredible view and setting. Welcoming friendly service - comfortable seating options inside and outside, huge bar with lots of stools on 3 sides - some outside - huge draft beer list, full bar, frozen drinks, great menu reimagined for summer 2024, pizza recipe is new and the pepperoni/sausage was excellent - super cheesy. Pool table - open air lawn with lawn games, come by boat - plenty of docks - live music - menu specials - incredible sunsets

Service was poor with spotty moments of attention. No one greeted our party for seating and after a very uncomfortable wait, we needed to approach the bartender for a waitress. When she finally arrived she was quite short and gave a strong message that she was too busy to wait on us to the point of almost demanding we spew out our order. Crusts on the wood fired pizzas were charred and toppings of cheese, pepperoni and garlic were as well ... edible but not much better. All the pizzas were exceedingly oily ..... a sign of inferior cheese and over cooking to the point of separation. Not recommending this location ... EDIT: at this time. When/if we return this review may change. David 1.5 million total views to date.. EDIT: Bryan makes a good point - wood fired pizza is not for everyone.
