Village Host Pizza & Grill

I've been eating pizza for decades, all over the country, I know a good pie when I eat one. This place is legit. The crust is just the right crisp, the slice holds shape and the toppings stay where you want them. These factors add up to a delicious and satisfying bite for bite experience. The combination pizza is oof the charts. The online ordering process is streamlined and intuitive. The pizzas are always ready when they say they are and the staff take pride in their cooking. Order up, my friend. Choose your toppings wisely and walk away a winner.

Waited 50 mins to only end up getting a text our driver dropped the pizza. Will never order there again.

They started stacking chairs with lot of noise and cleanup while we were still eating. It was not closing time either. Very bad and rude. She wanted to push us out. Spoiled our mood during dinner. 😔

The Pizza and service is always great!

One of the best pizza spots I. Santa Cruz county! Can always count on the triple P to be a hit.

I was pleasantly surprised by the abundant portions of toppings on the pizza. Casual atmosphere with a mix of locals and travelers.

We were there 50 minutes before closing to order pizza. The first was that we were informed that it was only available for take away. The chairs at most of the tables were already set up, which certainly gave the other local guests the impression that they would be finished quickly.
In any case, we were treated very unfriendly by the cashier. No smiles, just stupid sayings when we wanted to ask something with our English. He was obviously annoyed with us, which unfortunately left a bad taste in our mouths. The gentleman who prepared the pizzas was friendly, however.

I wouldn't order there again or anything
who went there because we felt very uncomfortable. Too bad.

For pizza; It was absolutely okay, but nothing special.

My home is one block from one of their restaurants, so it is a frequent go-to for my family. We’ve probably had hundreds of meals here and have literally NEVER had anything other than an exceptional dining experience. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The service is accurate, prompt, friendly and always a pleasure. There is not another business I frequent that I can recommend as highly as Village Host.

Vegetarian options: You can build your own sandwich or pizza, so the options are extensive.

Parking: AMPLE free parking available steps away from their front door.

Kid-friendliness: The layout of the dining room is spacious with easy access. The floor-plan as well as the staff are extremely kid-friendly. They have ample high-chairs available, with tables that comfortably fit them.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very, very easy access.

Food is average. I only order here maybe once or twice a year. Latest disappointment: Their tiramsu isn't a slice of this delicious desert as advertised in a pic on their website but a 7-11 in plastic cup tiramisu that was extremely soggy (as in water at the bottom) and frankly pretty gross.
