Beach Bum’s is a locally owned pizza bar and grill across the road from the ocean in North Topsail Beach. Hand-tossed 16-inch pizzas, a full bar and weekend music on the patio make it a dependable north-end stop for families and groups.
What stands out
The hand-tossed pizza, the friendly servers and a lively calendar of music bingo, trivia and patio sets are the consistent positives. Opinions are noticeably split, though: some find the food and service uneven from visit to visit, and event nights and summer weekends run slower.
