We were in Capitola craving pizza, but the line at Pizza My Heart was out the door, so we hopped over to Buzzo in Soquel. Best decision of the day! The space has a modern, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay a while, and the open kitchen was a great experience. We loved watching the chefs in action as they stretched the dough and slid pizzas into the fire. I ordered the mushroom pizza with truffle and added pepperoni and sausage. The fire-cooked crust was crisp and slightly...read full review
Great food and pizza can get busy early depending on the day of the week they do take out orders
My favorite pizza spot in Santa Cruz

Based on the reviews, Buzzo’s Wood Fired Pizzeria offers a nice surprise for diners, with a modern, stylish interior, a relaxed vibe, and an open kitchen. Diners enjoy watching the chefs stretch the dough and slide pizzas into the fire. The pizza is consistently good, featuring a thin, bubbly, fire-cooked crust that is crisp and slightly charred. Popular options include the Margherita, Nduja, sausage, The Charlie and The Jenkins, mushroom pizza with truffle, and potato pizza. The Caesar salad is excellent, considered one of the best in town. The fried appetizer, usually green beans or cauliflower, is always spot on, and the Arancini, crispy risotto balls with parmesan sauce and leek oil, are exceptional. For dessert, the brown butter gelato and brownie a la mode are worth eating. The service is generally friendly and attentive, and the food may be served quickly. Beer and wine, craft beers, and organic lemonade are also available. Prices are reasonable, and beer is only $6 in the middle of the week. There may be a wait, but the restaurant is worth the effort. Overall, the restaurant shows great potential with a stylish setting and certain dishes that shine.
