Okay this is one of the best meals we had in Santa Cruz this trip. Everyone was in the mood for Italian and we wanted something that wouldn’t break the bank. It’s very unassuming from the outside but oh my gosh was it good! We had the muffaletta, both kinds, and it was delicious. Very big portion so get it to share if you’re ordering anything else. A couple of us had the lasagna which was also fantastic and a large portion. It’s a house made sauce and you could tell. My sister had the meatball sandwich and it’s HUGE! It’s a true foot long with tons of meatballs/sauce. The rest of our party (kids) had the pizza and they said it was good as well. They really liked the taste of the sauce. Highly, highly recommend this place. It was easy to find and plenty of parking. Apparently they deliver as well.

Only on a walk. Stopped in with a good friend while on a walk. We were talking about how nice a beer would be…and just happened upon the place. All we had was a beer. After…I had to get a key for the outside restrooms that was attached to a heavy approximate 7″ x 7″ what appeared to be a metal basket.

The best pizza sauce but this location had gone downhill. I ordered a slice that was under heat lamps all day, they never heated my slice up and it was not very appetizing. I’d consider going to the Westside location instead.

I picked a pasta, which was spaghetti, with pesto. Added chicken. Half order garlic bread, which was only 3 extra slices of bread… Charged me 27 dollars. I had to find the tiny pieces of chicken… Was like 8 small pieces hiding in there, hardly any at all, was ridiculous…. Won’t go back

Use to be known for their thick size slices but went and it was disappointing especially for the price. I made sure to put the lid to show how small it was now

Best pizza I’ve ever had. I love the texture of their pizza. It’s somewhat thick with a satisfying crunch. The spices they use are very tasty. It was my first time coming here but definitely not my last! I recommended their combo pizza. It’s so good!
