“ We were looking for a classic Italian spot since the kids aren’t big on seafood and this place popped up. This place serves delicious classics. If you aren’t in a hurry and want a relaxing evening out I would recommend this place. I’ll be back next time in town to try the other sauces! ”
“ Best pizza in Osos. Also 3 star Jacob is hilarious. First of all, learn how park? Call ahead of time or Cook for your whiney kids instead then. dont take it out on a local restaurant who kill it and are giving their best with 3 stars bc you need things faster ”
“ We stop here every time we are in the area. Some of the best Italian food anywhere! Very reasonably priced. Service is fantastic. They serve excellent Italian dishes as well as top notch pizzas. Pictured is our bill which includes 4 entrees, 4 sides (3 soups, 1 salad), 1 dessert and 1 corkage fee. The dish was their special, a short rib cannelloni what was out of this world. ”
“ My husband and I wanted pizza and a cold beer after hiking Valencia Peak nearby. We were covered head to toe and dirt and sweat from the beautiful hike so when we walked in, we thought maybe we were a little out of place. Hazards is a super cute with a cozy ambience, and the aroma in the air was extremely inviting so we were very pleased when the hostess told us that there is no such thing as being underdressed hazards. The beer was perfectly cold and I was impressed that our waitress brought us water because she overheard us telling the waitress. We had just finished hiking.. The menu selection was not overwhelming with choices, however, due to our picky taste buds we were looking for a very particular kind of pizza which they were happy to accommodate, and our large chicken, pepperoni, pineapple, purple, onion, garlic, cilantro, and light barbecue drizzle was absolutely the best pizza I have had in a very long time!!! The food was great and the service was even better. The small town, personable and friendly serving staff was awesome, the chef complemented our choice in pizza and “ not yet 21-year-old“ server, who was seemingly working in a supportive role to the servers, was open to suggestion and seemed eager to learn. Oh no, I highly suggest stopping in it hazards… but Dusseau with caution as I hear the place is haunted! ”
“ A food was very good. Something definitely different. I've been eating on the Central Coast for years and had not tried this place. Don't know how new it is. Definitely, we'll be back. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. Thanks again, guys. ”
“ I've ordered the meatball calzone and various pizzas. Place my online orders on their website. I order at 4:20, before they even open. And it is scheduled to be ready at 5:15-5:20. Always ready when we arrived for pick-up. And it is delicious!! My hubby especially loves the pizza and was thrilled when we first ate here. I love the meatball calzone. Not large meatballs but small tasty pieces of meat with a nice chewy crust. And the sauce is the real winner, for me. It's light, loose and flavorful, not like some places, with thick sauce that basically tastes like seasoned tomato paste. If it helps it is similar to to Pizza Port in Morro Bay, because of their thin chewy crust and loose(?) sauce. I'm not sure how to describe the consistency. We find Hazards to be of similar style. They're our favorite Italian food "go-to" in Los Osos, hands down. Reviews say the dining room has slow service. I've never eaten inside but it's cute and quaint, with friendly service, and maybe 7-10 tables? I've always taken my food home but wouldn't hesitate to eat on site. Hazards has yummy food with many options!! Give 'em a try!! ”
