It's unbelievable to me how well of a kept secret this place is. There's a comical amount of pizza spots in town, and this one has the least press, least recognition, least hype. And it's far and long better than all the others. Yes, better than mentone. Yes, better than bantam. It's just simply better. I crave it so much we get it delivered to Capitola and it STILL rips.
We enjoyed the live music that added some entertainment to the small space. The Free Elements band is a great fit for the vibe of the place.
The service was slow to start but was friendly.
The menu options were minimal but had a reasonable variety to choose from.
The pizza was good, but the unique brussel sprout salad we had was delicious! I will crave that salad with the unusual blend of ingredients. I will likely go just to get that salad, lol.

This was literally heaven to me. Being from the Boston area, I miss my North End Italian pizza and East Boston pizza. I hadn't had what I call "good pizza" since last time I flew back to Boston, took the train to aquarium, and walked with my suitcase to Regina's on Thatcher.
This was the best pizza I've had in California. I got the margherita but asked for fresh sliced tomatoes on top. The sauce is incredible. It is true vine-ripened plum tomato...
