    • Margherita Pizza with Fresh Basil
    • Artisan Pizzas

    “First off, this pizza is DELICIOUS. I got the margherita, which is generally my go-to when I'm getting Neapolitan style pizza. Everything tasted fresh and the crust is TO DIE FOR. I had some leftovers and ate them could the next morning (which I hardly ever do, but I was traveling and didn't have access to a toaster oven or anything) and it was still delicious. The vibe at the place was neat. My family and I really enjoyed seeing the vintage bicycles. There was plenty of seating and it was comfortable and casual. I had a Mexican Coke to drink, which went perfectly with the pizza. I also want to give my appreciation and gratitude to the owner, who was willing to go above and beyond when I contacted the business. I was worried I'd left my wallet behind and it might still be there. It's a long story, but I can't say how much I appreciated his willingness to help a customer out of kindness. Support local businesses, especially ones with owners and staff who are genuinely there for the community. I'll definitely pay Pogonip Pizza at least one visit the next time I'm in Santa Cruz and I'll recommend it to others, for sure!”

We wanted something fast and fullfilling and reasonable we stop here and service was definitely fast, workers were courteous and pizza was hot & ready fresh out of oven crust was perfect not over cooked or hard like some places. Perfect amount of pepperoni & cheese. Definitely would recommend this pizza place. When we came home we stopped at our local little Caesars and definitely didn't taste as good as this place.”
