“Bingo was so fun! Fabulous pizza, dessert was yummy. Everybody who works there is very friendly, the entire establishment is inviting.😍“

“my first time here, so so delicious 😋“

“Love that we can grab pizza and snacks all in one place, delicious!“

“This is MY go-to pizzeria. I like Pizza My Heart & I like Mountain Mike's & I like the other chains, but this one is good all the time, & it's right here in Aptos & it's super good. I like it very much. It's MY favorite.“

“We love the Maverick's meat, Fort Point, and Depot Hill. The gluten free crust is thin and crunchy, and the regular crust is a yummy sourdough. They pile on the toppings and their sauce is delicious. We've never experienced cold pizza delivery as of yet.“

“Innovative gourmet options. The ricotta was fresh, airy, like a cloud warmed by the rich hot pizza dough, topped with arugula and edible flowers. Apple fennel arugula salad. Delightful service and energy. A must go.“

“Churchills is amazing.“

“Growing up in Watsonville, Pizza Mia was the quintessential spot for a quick, satisfying slice, a concept that feels rare these days. Returning after more than a decade, I was eager to see if it lived up to my memories, and it absolutely did.

The pizza remains consistently good, the crust is thin but not too thin, with a soft, fluffy interior and a satisfying crisp. The sauce is the real standout, it's light, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced, complementing every bite. It is simple, unpretentious, and exactly what you hope for from a neighborhood pizzeria.

Service is fast, and the pricing is fair. I had three slices of pepperoni pizza and three water bottles for $13.81. What struck me most is how Pizza Mia manages to deliver both nostalgia and quality, proving that some local favorites are timeless. The only downside is that I noticed the seating area is now closed, which is a bummer as that was a place to sit, eat, and enjoy your pizza and maybe play an arcade game.

For anyone in Watsonville craving a classic slice done right, this is a must visit!“

“Sooo disappointed! Highly recommended! We purchased to go an extra large combination When we got home and opened the box: Totally dry and overcooked I would have liked to send them a message - rather than - Facebook. Not an option. Lynne“

“The best tasting pie w it's perfected texture & taste & their vast selection of fresh toppings & sauces makes this the one great family owned pizza place that is a secret all it's own, you've gotta try to understand this review!“

“We ordered a takeout pizza 20 minutes before closing as we were driving into Aptos. The staff was very accommodating and said they would be there when we were to arrive in 25 minutes. They had the pizza ready and it was very good. Great job Pizza 1 Aptos!“

“We order many pizza's every year for our daughter's birthday parties we have at the park down the street. This place is amazing and the service is always awesome! I also enjoy supporting a local business!“

“I love this pizza! Can’t get enough unfortunately…😉 I have been eating VH at various locations for over 30 yrs. Every time we pass through Aptos, we try and time it perfectly for lunch or dinner. Great location too.“

“I don’t like there service.“

“I would recommend their deep dish pizza. The sauce has a lot of flavor.“

“Fourth time here and still left impressed. Pizza, gnocchi, ragu, and sole dishes were fantastic. Didn leave room for desert but tried the strawberry and cream and lemon curd, anyway. Glad we did. Drinks were great too. Nice enough for a date night. Casual enough to be a great neighborhood hang. 10/10.“

“Great service from everyone. We had oysters, which you can order one at a time, so we ordered 4. They were pretty big. I had fish and chips while my friend had a crab cake with a side of fries. We also tried their Santa Cruz cider, which was a pomegranate cider. We also had their berry cobbler. Food was great, and the staff were extremely friendly. We will be back.“

“Pizza is very good. Friendly people work their. Staff is very good and help you rite away. Price is good and lot of space. Love to visit again“

“Ordered a custom medium pesto pizza. My first time ordering here because I just moved to the area. Good pie. Ready on time. I did pickup and the pie was ready on time and no wait getting it. I like deep dish, but that is not an option here. I am glad they have a gluten-free crust option because my wife is gluten intolerant.“

“My guy Jr. Brought it home! Seriously the best customer service and the greatest guy I could meet. Jr. Knows how to get it done and listens to your request. Food was fast and perfect, service was phenomenal 👌 hats off to you sir!“

“It was delivered and I was just a touch disappointed.

I love Mountain Mike's and their toppings here were a bit dry.

I think next time I need to ask for a bit more sauce and toppings.

Just disappointed.“

“I might recommend this place for its pies & pastries, but not their coffee offerings. I guess they don’t get many requests for mochas because what I got was mostly milk with a splash of coffee & zero chocolate. Getting it iced costs another 50¢, which I’ve never seen before. They really don’t promote their coffee beverages, so…. Hopefully your experience will be better.“

“I greatly appreciate the staff's courtesy in making a call when I inadvertently ordered two items, as it is indeed one order. They were kind enough to clarify this matter with me, and my experience feels like if any other place would have done so, they would not bother... on top of it all, I have had such a good experience there“

“Been eating here all my life and it's the only location I trust. The others I've tried in places like Hayward, Sacramento, etc. all let me down with burnt or cold pizzas at some point or another.

That said, its popularity also makes it really busy much of the time, and staff can be a bit all over the place trying to accommodate orders coming in from DoorDash, online, phone, and the counter. Be patient with them. It's worth it.“
