Word on the street
What locals are saying
IOPizza Co sits directly across from beach access on Ocean Blvd, which does a lot of the heavy lifting — it's the default pizza stop for IOP beachgoers by sheer proximity. The mozzarella sticks and gluten-free white pizza earn consistent praise, as does the staff warmth, with specific bartenders and counter staff called out by name. The persistent knock is the crust: recurring complaints describe it as dry, thin, and borderline flavorless — sparse on sauce, short on chew — though a new ownership group took over in late 2024 and pushed through a dining room renovation in January 2025, so some of those criticisms may predate the current regime.
