The Kahlon family at Straw Hat Pizza is amazing! They’re super kind, welcoming, and really went the extra mile to make sure we had a great experience. The Jalapeño Garlic Twist… wow, total showstopper! The pizza was custom-made just the way we wanted and came out perfect. Easily one of the best spots for pizza, and if you’re in Carmel or Monterey, this is a must-try. Great food, awesome people—you can’t go wrong here!

They updated the place from previous years. It's not longer dark inside. Had my baby's 1 year birthday party here. The pizza was good, many different flavors. My only issue was one of the guys didn't speak much English, so I had to communicate with what I presume was the manager for most of the stuff. He was very helpful.

We recently hosted a graduation party at Straw Hat Pizza and had such a great experience! We were able to rent out a section of the restaurant, which gave us plenty of space to celebrate. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the whole process, and they gave us a lot of flexibility with bringing in our own decorations and desserts.

They were also very thoughtful about the timing of when the pizzas came out, making sure everything was fresh and ready right when we needed it. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free.

Be careful at Strawhat Pizza on Laurel. Just found glass on our combo and when I called the store to tell them I was told “We have no glass in our pizza you can come over here and look at the kitchen” I said well it’s IN THE PIZZA don’t came from somewhere. I said I was calling just to let them know for the safety of other customers and request a refund he said he was unable to help with an online order and shouted at me “Do not order from my restaurant ever again what is your name” 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 REALLY ???? Needless to say we will never eat there again and hopefully nobody else found glass or was harmed because the manager refused to even apologize or take responsibility!

The Service is AMAZING. The staff are so hospitable. They gave us a larger serving than what we ordered. We came thirty minutes before closing and stayed 30 minutes after closing, but they never rushed us. It was also fun to practice the little Hindi that I'm learning with them. Super-Kid Friendly. They even have an Arcade, though it wasn't open when we arrived.

What else one needs to enjoy with friends. Yeah that's great food and clean atmosphere. As we went without informing time and number ,then also we were served in minutes. FOOD AND STAFF took my heart. And sorry guys we cross your closing time but you let our children PLAY Games which kept them busy.

Today i visited Straw Hat and the experience was just amazing . As i went late after my job but they take care of our needs without caring of their closing time. We sat for almost 2 hours ,they provided fresh and tasty food . CUSTOMER SERVICE was the key point as they don't make us feel left out. Food was served fast and we enjoyed it.
Gonna visit again and again 🥰

Every time I go to this pizza store, I order the veggie pizza, and it always come out hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings. The crust stay crispy, and the veggies taste really fresh—not soggy like some places. The staff treat me politely and make sure everything go smoothly with the order. The place stay clean and comfortable, and it feel like a nice spot to just sit and enjoy your food. It’s become one of my go-to spots when I crave pizza.
