Looking for a casual spot near the beach with fresh food, craft drinks, and great vibes?
Welcome to Surfside Kitchen, a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Vilano Beach and just minutes from historic St. Augustine. Whether you're a local or visiting the area, Surfside Kitchen is where the beach meets bold flavor and friendly service, no wonder it's quickly becoming one of the area’s favorite dining spots.
🌴 Location & Laid-Back Atmosphere
Surfside Kitchen is perfectly located just steps from Vilano Beach, offering a relaxed coastal vibe that’s hard to beat. With plenty of outdoor seating, beachy décor, and a come-as-you-are attitude, it’s the kind of place where flip-flops are welcome and every seat promises good times.

Pizzas Done Right
If you’re looking for the best pizza in St. Augustine, our brick oven pies are a must-try. Every pizza starts with house-made dough, fresh ingredients, and our signature sauces, all crafted in-house daily by our kitchen team.
We also offer a gluten-free dough option made with high-quality ingredients, delivering a satisfying crust that’s both crispy and flavorful.
Whether you’re craving a classic Margherita or something bold like the Caribbean Pineapple, every bite is packed with flavor and care.
