About Corkscrew Cafe

Corkscrew Cafe offers astonishingly great pizza with a variety of toppings, including mushroom, sausage with pickled shallots and calabrian chilis. The crust is incredible, and the bread with roasted garlic is delicious. The outside seating provides a peaceful vacation-like atmosphere, while the inside is cute and intimate. Located next to a winery, it’s worth the trip, with incredibly kind staff that make guests feel right at home. The cafe features a quirky outdoor seating area with multi-colored cushions and a rustic indoor space with brick and wood accents. The menu includes standout items like the Elote pizza, which is slightly spicy with sweet corn and crispy edges, and tasty fish tacos. Customers can enjoy a delightful PEAR SALAD and share a margarita pizza or Meyer’s Lemon Prosciutto Pizza, both highly praised. The calamari is considered the best on the Monterey Peninsula—tender, light, and fresh Monterey Bay calamari served with tartar and cocktail sauces. The cafe also accommodates special requests, such as using gluten-free pizza dough, and offers a nice selection of wine, including LaMarca Prosecco. Whether stopping for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal, visitors often leave satisfied, eager to return. It’s a lovely spot to enjoy food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere, with the added bonus of nearby wine tasting at Georgis Winery.
