    The Andrew Special is Garlic, Pepperoni, and Onions.
    Andrew K.

    Still one of my favorite pizza spots in the world. I just got back from living in Portland, which has some of the West's best, and Big J's is better than most here, there, and everywhere. They do my favorite slice in the 831 as well. They do a par baked pie and then add more sauce, cheese, and toppings and then bake it again, custom to order. A lot of labor and work to do this, but it makes a huge difference. Makes it taste ultra fresh and one slice with a few toppings fills me up and I'm a pretty big dude who likes to take down a Big J before hitting Big J's. Always nice to stop in and enjoy some pie on their benches in the Corralitos sunshine. Give it a try!

    Our family stopped by for an early lunch while exploring Corralitos, and we're so glad we did! The pepperoni pizza was hot, cheesy, and delicious. My husband is from New Jersey and said this was one of the best pizzas he's had in the West Coast. Can't wait to come back with the rest of our family.

    Wonderful little pizza shop! They said it would take 20 minutes to make, but it only took 15. The pizza is extremely fresh and tastes homemade. Not overwhelmingly seasoned or heavy on oils. I ate the whole thing and will be back.

    Very fresh ingredients. I love how they hide the pepperoni under the cheese. Crust is thick and chewy. Love this little place. Very nice people.

    THIS PIZZA SAVED MY MARRIAGE!!!! I don't usually leave…read morereviews, but Pizza Mia in Watsonville deserves full credit for saving my marriage. Last Friday, my spouse and I were deep in one of those "we are absolutely not speaking ever again" arguments. You know, the kind where someone brings up something from 2017 and suddenly it's a documentary series. Anyway, in a moment of desperation (and hunger), I ordered a large pizza from Pizza Mia. When it arrived, we both tried to stay mad... but then we opened the box. The smell alone forced a temporary ceasefire. One slice turned into two, then three, and before we knew it, we were arguing again--but this time about who got the last slice. Somewhere between the pepperoni and the cheese pull, we started laughing. By the time the box was empty, so was the argument. So yeah--marriage counseling is great and all, but have you tried Pizza Mia? 10/10 would emotionally reconcile again.

    Growing up in Watsonville, Pizza Mia was the quintessential spot for a quick, satisfying slice, a…read moreconcept that feels rare these days. Returning after more than a decade, I was eager to see if it lived up to my memories, and it absolutely did. The pizza remains consistently good, the crust is thin but not too thin, with a soft, fluffy interior and a satisfying crisp. The sauce is the real standout, it's light, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced, complementing every bite. It is simple, unpretentious, and exactly what you hope for from a neighborhood pizzeria. Service is fast, and the pricing is fair. I had three slices of pepperoni pizza and three water bottles for $13.81. What struck me most is how Pizza Mia manages to deliver both nostalgia and quality, proving that some local favorites are timeless. The only downside is that I noticed the seating area is now closed, which is a bummer as that was a place to sit, eat, and enjoy your pizza and maybe play an arcade game. For anyone in Watsonville craving a classic slice done right, this is a must visit!

There were TVs everywhere and they were showing hockey, baseball, and basketball. For the food, I really enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Salad. It was nicely seared on the outside while still being raw on the inside. The greens with sliced ginger and dressing bring it all together. Mozzarella Sticks come with 4 large pieces. If you eat them while they're hot, you can get a pretty awesome cheese pull. These were served with marinara sauce and the appetizer was tasty. My son ordered a Chicken Pesto pizza that I was able to issue a dad tax on. I thought the pizza was solid, not spectacular. A nice chill place to hang out and watch a game.
