    Wood fired pizzas are great! The vegan pizzas are far superior to the non-vegan ones, though, FYI.

    The person who says they don't have a great beer selection is way wrong. Even a decent variety of Belgians, I can't say that about 8 out of 10 bars.

    Other pros: you can buy (vegan) pizza dough there. If you call in an order for pickup, you might as well get in the car, they're fast!


    Cons: I do agree that the price is a touch high for what you get. Mostly, a large pizza is what I imagine a medium being most other places. I guess it is because their crust is thin and they can't get the pizzas much bigger? But a large is enough for about two people, not enough for three. Toppings are generally light, but again, maybe that is because of the thin crust.

    I'd agree it would be nice if they replaced the ping pong table, as it is the same one that has always been there.

    Still, I'd rather go there than most places in town. Pizza in Santa Cruz is really bad, with only Pizza My Heart also having decent pizza...

    It's hard to find, the sign is too small.

    The pizza is good, but they are stingy with the toppings. I ordered extra cheese, and I could barely find any cheese at all. The crust was burnt on one edge.

    It's pretty pricey for what you get.

    We ordered a large salad of organic greens to go. It was 6 bucks and just about 2 cups of greens tossed in a vin and oil dressing stuffed in a tiny box. Enough for one person, maybe. This was a genuine rip off by any measure.

    Very average (Pizza hut/frozen pizza quality) pizza at premium prices. Good selection of beer???? Give me a break. These guys don't have a clue about beer. If you think Sierra Nevada and Stella is a "good selection" then you'll fit right in. I don't know who these other raters are but they have not lived in Santa Cruz very long or are affiliated with this joint. Upper Crust, Kiantis, or Pizza my heart all have far better pizza. The one redeeming quality is they have a ping pong table, but make you purchase the balls from a coin operated machine and its not a very good table to boot. The warm their soup in a paper cup in a microwave right in front of you. I think that about sums up the quality of dining experience.
