I ordered boneless chicken wings. They are soooo dry! Like a cardboard! Meat pizza and Hawaiian pizza tastes nothing like a pizza. Small sizes cost $17 plus each. So expensive! The ambiance is clean overall. The cashier was nice and friendly. But I won't go back there again if I want a pizza.

Because not every place offers gluten-free options, we tried Straw Hat when some friends were in town (their daughter has to eat gluten-free). Unfortunately, the pizza was not what we hoped it would be. Yelpers kinda failed me here! LoL I'd read another review that said the gluten-free pizza at this location was good so I ordered a large cheese pizza. I went and picked it up but didn't pop open the box while I was there. When I got home... I was kinda embarrassed to offer this nearly burnt, crunchy, cardboard pizza to my guests. I thought $30 for a large cheese should guarantee quality but it was cardboardy, overcooked, and so thin... not substantial enough to feed a few kids. Next time, my friends said we should just buy a few frozen gluten-free pizzas like they normally do. Because of their good customer service and many great reviews, however, I'm sure I'll go back and try their other offerings. Might see ya there.

Long overdue review. Great place, friendly staff and locally owned by good people. The food comes out hot and the pizza is very good and consistent. They have tons of tv's and GREAT customer service. I appreciate the kind smiles of the staff, it's like they want to be there. Tonight we rented out the main area and had our fantasy football draft. They were super accommodating, they put on football for us on there what seems like 100 tvs and turned the volume up for us, it was a great time and I highly recommend them. Ps, they also do all the major ufc fights, boxing and nfl events, it's a great atmosphere during these occasions.

This is, by far, the greatest restaurant in Watsonville. The pizza is tasty, the salad bar is well stocked, and they have tons of choices for fountain drinks. They have a good selection of beers on tap and their cinnamon whiskey shots are delicious. The first time I went there, I was the only diner for lunch, yet Joe asked if I had any requests for the buffet--and just like that he made a fresh pizza. How rare is that!? What makes this restaurant the best are the people working at it. You can tell they love this spot. Joe and Camille, especially , are amazing. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is positive, inviting, and clean. I still go often for the lunch buffet, and honestly, I feel like I'm at home there. Thank you very much! You guys rock.

It wasn't bad. I got it delivered, so it wasn't piping hot. Everything is better fresh out the oven. Crust was just a little dense for me.
