Creekside Pizza & Taproom in San Anselmo has a spacious outdoor patio where you can actually bring your dog along while you eat—not just sit outside nervously hoping no one notices. The place opens at 11 AM every single day of the year, which is genuinely convenient when you’re planning a casual lunch or dinner with your dog in tow.

The menu leans toward hand-crafted pizzas and pastas, but they also do hearty sandwiches and fresh salads if you’re not in the mood for pizza. They’ve clearly thought about different eating styles too, with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available, so you’re not limited if you have dietary preferences. The staff seems attentive to what you need, which matters when you’re managing a meal and keeping an eye on your dog at the same time.

San Anselmo itself is a pleasant place to be with a dog—the town has that relaxed Marin County vibe, and the location gives you easy access to exploring the area. If you’re spending time in the North Bay with your dog, this is exactly the kind of place you’re looking for: somewhere you can sit outside, eat actual good food, and not feel like you’re doing your dog some special favor by bringing them along. It’s just normal, integrated into their setup.

The fact that they’re open year-round, every day, means you don’t have to plan around weird closures or seasonal hours. You can swing by in the middle of winter or summer and know you’ll get in.
