Crust was crunchy and good. Brick oven definitely worked well. Red sauce and the more basic ingredients wasn’t anything to write home about. Definitely not getting a cheese or pepperoni pie there. But the pesto?? Amazing. Would have given a high 6-ish score if not for the pesto. Get the pesto when you go there and thank me later. The staff? Very cool friendly people. They even fired up some pizza by-the-slice for me, personally. Can’t beat service like that. Prices competitive. Slices basic size, but they don’t specialize in pizza by the slice, they just do regular pies. If you like ping pong they also have a table behind the oven in a separated room with a portal allowing them to give you pizza directly. Very cool. They also can make any pie vegan if you’re into that. If I was reviewing the establishment instead of just their pizza, 8.5, easy. Great place to hang with friends. Can’t say that about any other pizza joint in Santa Cruz.
