“Very good overall. Pizza is consistently to my liking - thin bubbly crust, not too heavy on the toppings. If you love Oak & Rye, Del Poppolo, Manresa, Bantam then this is closer to those than not. Excellent Caesar salad, and the fried appetizer (usually green beans or cauliflower) is always spot on.
I’m not huge on dessert, especially brownies, but the brown butter gelato, and the brownie a la mode, are worth eating.
And the service is always friendly.
February 2026 - still going strong. Caesar remains one of the best three in town. My new favorite pizza here is the Nduja; have had Nduja pizza elsewhere but the combination of the black olives and arrested onions works very very well.“

“Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had, period! It’s incredibly fresh, perfectly crafted, and the crust is exactly what you want—beyond crisp on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside. They also make amazing sandwiches! I was helped by Chloe, and her wonderful energy and kindness made my visit extra special. Love it here! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We recently had a birthday party for my son here. It went so smoothly. The staff was completely on top of our needs. They even stored our pizza and ice cream cake leftovers for us while we went next door for a movie! I highly recommend this restaurant not only for the stellar service, but the food is also incredible. Can't wait to come back for more!“

“Nice beer selection
Fried mytaki mushrooms were ridiculous!! Worth the trip just for that! I'm not a ranch lover but their version was between ranch and blue cheese. The mild was excellent!
Really enjoyed the fava bean pizza. Amazing crispy crust.
Being vegan most of the time, we tried the vegan pizza. For reference, I make a cauliflower crust vegan pizza. Their vegan pizza was very good...not exceptional. Probably not have again.
Will be back for sure.“

“Love their pizzas!! A very nice assortment. 😋“
“Ordered a large mushroom pizza w olives to go after having an IPA inside. The pie was not that bad but it’s not Pizza My Heart either. They have Stella and an IPA on tab which would bring me back for their daily pizza specials. It only makes sense to order the Special pie of the day.“

“Oak and Rye is a very delicious pizza place. This is one of my favorite places to eat!
They are located in a great area full of paths to walk and things to explore!
Their food is amazing, their pizza is top notch and honestly one of the best pizzas I’ve had. Their waiters are really friendly and amazing. Oak and Rye really deserves this 5 star review. Highly recommend!“

“I've been meaning to leave a review for Pleasure Pizza (Pacific Avenue) we visited Santa Cruz in March and decided to try this eatery as natives of New York we are super picky about our pizza, we were pleasantly surprised that it was what we expected. Fresh ingredients, crust, sauce, cheese content was just right and the vibe was laid back and relaxing. The customer service was on point, Ace our server was friendly, checked to make sure we were good throughout, well done!! Would highly recommend Pleasure Pizza yummy!!!“

“The joint is very small with 4 or 5 tables so it's primarily meant for delivery or takeout. Eating in is not ideal as per the server, the restaurant doesn't have utensils. The pizza is delicious and doesnt feel doughy or heavy with a thin crust and tasty sauce. Prices are sky high and the menu hasn't been updated yet to reflect the new, much higher prices.“

“Wow what an adorable little gem! I ordered the Jalapeno Cheddar Breakfast Bagel and omg, this just might have been the best bagel I've ever had. I've had Jersey & NY bagels but this really stood out. It was so incredibly chewy and soft in the middle and perfectly crisp on the outside. The flavor of the melted cheddar, pops of jalapeno and a subtle tang from the sourdough were incredible. The staff were very friendly & my food came out rather fast given the crowd. Couldn't recommend this place enough if you're in the area!“

“I’ve lived in Santa Cruz for four years and this is easily the best pizza I’ve ever had in the area. You can really tell that Tony puts a lot of love and effort into his food. We got pizzas, and homemade kimchi and a chocolate chip cookie to go, and everything was divine. Wonderful service and unique atmosphere. There is really no other pizzeria like it.“
