Holy cow!!!! Was this place bomb.com!!!! Not being from the area I felt lame I couldn't find it! Lol But I climbed the stairs and there it was in the shopping center! They don't give their pizza away and they shouldn't! It was to die for!!!!! I was starving so I did take out for my family. Ordered a Sicilian style cheese, a New York style Tropical Thunder and a boat load of garlic twists! Whoa!!!!!!!!! Taste bud overload!!!!!! Can't wait to eat leftovers for breakfast!!!!!! You want pizza.... Come here, it's so good it should be a sin!! read more

I probably should have reviewed this place months ago, but the pizza didn't really stand out in my memory. Especially when you've had pizzas that are truly so much better. I suppose that since they are also a wine bar, the pizza must take a backseat position in the whole scheme of things here. The restaurant space is extremely small and kind of boring. I tried the house combo pizza which was extremely thing and seemed to be lacking ingredients for the price paid. It is in a coastal town which can explain the higher prices... but is that an excuse for mediocre pizza??? Yeah probably I suppose, I can't remember the last time I had great pizza in a small coastal town. read more

A friend of mine just moved to Aptos about a week ago and this place is walking distance to her house. We ended up going there on a saturday night and there were quite a few people in there. They also had a guy set up with his guitar singing Beatles songs and enjoying himself. We ended up just getting takeout but there were a number of people in the place that were sitting down and having wine from their little wine bar. I'd love to go back and hang out there one night and order a bottle as well. The pizza is fucking great here. We ended up getting the pesto pizza. It smelled amazing right from the get go and had fat slices as well. That's a plus in my book. You can decide between thick or thin crust and we opted for the thin. It also came with huge dollops of creamy mozzarella cheese. Hell. Yes. I was told by a friend that they order all of their meats from Italy and only use organic veggies too. That's a real big deal coming from a pizza place. I wish I had one that was closer to my house but I'm definitely coming back when I visit my friend. read more

First time at Mangiamo Pizza. The pizza was incredibly tasty. Not too thin or thick and a ton of flavor. Xavier and Dane were great and prompt in regards to service. I will definitely be coming back. This might be my new favorite spot for pizza and beer. :) read more

Mangiamo Pizza - Chicken Parmesan with olives and jalapeños added to it. - Pizza Near Me - Aptos, California

Overpriced. Modest quality ingredients. I asked for extra sauce.,got the minimum. Crust was burnt at edges. Probably pre-made. Never going back. I'll drive 10 miles to Woodstocks Pizza, so that I am happy with what I get for less $! read more

I tried to post my review a couple weeks ago but my Yelp app was not working so here I go again! This place is by far the best pizza in the area. Not only are the people working there genuine, friendly, and kind, their pizzas are so delicious! My partner and I make this our go to date night meal. We love the pineapple, pesto, and pepperoni pizza. If you are looking for a new favorite place, look no further! This is it! read more

Walked in, treated line we were a bother to the 2 workers, they were out of chicken and rude We will NEVER go back read more

Unbelievable! Called to order a pizza for delivery at 6:15 pm as I've done several times with this business. First call went to a non-specific generic voicemail. Second call picked up by a frazzled sounding young woman who told me "the kitchen is closed... call back in a half an hour". No, I will call another pizzeria, thank you. I am a local business owner myself, you NEVER turn away business. That's a good problem, rise up and make it happen. I can't imagine the owner would approve of this conduct. read more

We just ordered a large pepperoni,sausage and black olive pizza with a small salad and side of anchovies. The bill was 43.00 and there was very little meat on the pizza and they forgot the anchovies! There is more meat on a 10.00 dominos pizza than his pizza! What a ripoff! Don't buy overpriced Mangiamos , go with a cheap pizza with more meat! Disgusting!!!! read more

Selling be the slice is awesome. They offer two crusts here: thick (square) and thin. Stay away from the thin if you order out -- by the time you get home, wash your hands, et cetera, it will have cooled off and be pretty meh. Eating at the restaurant, both slices are pretty good. I've found the thinker ones to be better, in general - thin crust ends up with too much pockets of air and burnt spots, converging on the desperate matzo-pizza taste. The thick slices have great dough to them, and the toppings are good - i like the pesto feta. BBQ chicken is a little too sweet for my taste, some more heat would have been appreciated. Cheapest place to grab a bite in deer park by a mile. read more

Tried the vegetarian Shishkabob pizza and added sausage to it, AMAZING. From out of town will be back next time.

First of all, it is a real stretch to call this place a wine bar. It is not. So do not go here for the wine as you will be very disaponted. They offer about 10 very average red and white wines by the glass in the range of $6 - $12 and none of them are unique. You can buy most of these wines at a local convenience store - I'm not kidding. Furthermore, the red wines are not stored properly (they were served at room temp - warm) and are served in the same small white wine glasses where they fill them to the top! Do I sound like a wine snob? Trust me, I am not but please do not market your establishment as a "pizza and wine bar" when you clearly are not. As for the pizza, it is OUTSTANDING! I would definately return for the pizza. it is very, very good. The service is average as is the ambiance, and they have live entertainment on weekends (usually some soft jazz or accoustic). If they just marketed themselves as a pizza joint I'd give it 4 stars but the fact that they choose to add that "wine bar" part to the name is, well, deceiving. So, go for the pizza and entertainment but bring your own wine (and glass). read more

Gave then a second chance and the pizza was on point. Prices are still a light high but I don't mind paying to keep the little guy in business. Think local Buy local read more

Mangiamo delivers to our neighborhood, which is why we tried them out again after several years of avoiding them. Not only have they improved, but they consistently make fantastic calzone. Their stromboli are good enough that I eat them occasionally even though I'm supposed to avoid onion and garlic (we choose our battles), but my housemates order them even more often than the pizza. Their caprese was meh, but being February I am forgiving. I will try them at peak tomato season for a final verdict on that. Delivery options (for any fare) are limited in Aptos and their competition is too spotty to compare, frankly. I don't consider Domino's a meal, just junk food delivery. Their online menu is not entirely complete, given it has no drinks or desserts listed, nor of course any specials of the day. Just ask, though, what they have available. If you dine in, they have a small selection of wine available. Delivery tipping can be done with cash or adding tip on the receipt, just like if you were a sit-down customer. Very convenient all around. read more

I will give a 3 stair because .... Slice Pizza is marginal (Meh). For that I'd rather go to Showtime Pizzeria. My guess is that the pizza sits there too long and it tastes exactly what it is: reheated pizza But ... I am a fan of the Calzone!!! That one was made to order and it was delicious. I'd come back, but for the Calzone only My guess is that a fresh pizza would taste good, but I would stick to what works: calzone read more

I just had to knock off another star on their rating because the last 3 times I've called for delivery (all 3 times on the weekend) they didn't have a driver working. I can understand that maybe there was a sick call or something but shouldn't there be more than one delivery driver on the schedule just in case? read more

Placed a phone order and they told me that it would be ready in 40 minutes. I showed up exactly 40 minutes after placing the order, at which time the owner laughed and said that he was just starting on my order. When I asked how long it would take, they said in would have to wait another 15-20 minutes, and that "I'm going as fast as I can." When I showed up, the restaurant was empty, and only two orders besides mine were on the board, and those were the orders following mine. I'll never come to this place again. read more

Mangiamo's pizza was the next best eatery place closest to our beach, we were planning on getting the roasted chicken in the near by grocery store but we went ahead and got the pizza instead. The slices are big, the toppings are very tasty and the flavors come together quite well. We had Meatlovers and Chkn BBq. The meatlovers was greasy (what do you expect?) and the chkn bbq pizza was damn good! Sweet/tangy sauces and the crispy thin crust added to the overall great tastes of both pizzas. Drop by when yr craving pizza and it'll definitely hit THAT spot! happy eating! read more

Decent pizza for sure. $25 for 18" combo. Service was excellent 5/5, the two main down points for me was how greasy the pizza was, and that the dough, while being black and nearly burnt on the edges (delicious crust BTW) was slightly undercooked. It didn't pass the fork test, and as such had to be picked up and was ultra floppy. We all know floppy pizza is sloppy pizza. The ingredients were fresh, I'm not gonna count this place out yet. read more

Finally found a real thin crust pizza! This little gem is above Delux Foods. They have thicker crusts too and Anchor Steam on tap. I'm so happy we found this place, the owners were really nice as well. Can't wait to go back. read more

Minus 5 Stars! I have never been so insulted! Absolutely unbelievable how rude the staff was tonight when I stopped by at 5:45 PM to pick up a pizza I had ordered more than 20 minutes prior. When I placed the phone order I was told it would only be 15 min, I showed up 20 min later to pick up and was told it wasnt stared yet. What? It wasn't even busy. When I started to question the gal on why it wasn't started the man that I usually see behind the counter got very angry and started yelling at me that my original pizza was in the trash because he burnt it. I replied, "this is the second time this has happen to me here." WOW! That really made him angry! He yelled "look lady I've burnt a thousand pizzas and I'll burn a thousand more, it happens!" I finally asked the gal at the register how could I get in touch with the owner. She told me that the guy was the owner. Now I'm really shocked because I'm thinking no way would an owner treat customers like they were treating me. Especially when they were the one that messed up. We all have bad days and things don't always go as smoothly as we'd like, but to take it out on a paying customer? Oh to top it off the angry owner, who I'm told is named David, asked for my name so he could put me on a list that could no longer order there. Then the gal who he claimed to be his wife said to me, "you need to leave here now!" What a complete insult, their bad day became my nightmare pizza experience. No worries David, you don't need to add me to that list that can't order there anymore, I've spent a lot of money buying pizza from this place over the past 7 years and you will never get another dime of my hard earned money! Customer lost for good! Think twice before you support this business with your money, they do not seem to appreciate the community that supports them! read more

When a craving for a calzone occurs, we yelped and found this little treasure hidden in the Deluxe shopping center. Not as I remembered it from a few years ago (this is a good thing..)!! We had a delicious (and well-proportioned) starter salad (with fresh and delicious veggies), a great individual-sized pizza...the hubs had the long awaited calzone. The calzone had a stuffed-crust along the edges, delicious dough, fresh ingredients inside and not greasy- a total winner!! Not to mention the pizza (we ordered the Pollo Spinaci) was awesome. It's a small place, but you still have your space- even with a couple of people on both sides, we didn't feel squished. All this with a clean, quiet atmosphere, a totally helpful yet stealth waiter, and the Giants game on silent on the flat screens made for a great night out. read more

While we live in the area, and often shop at Delux for our dinners, we've never known the source of the live music coming from the upper-shopping area. Last night, we discovered that it comes from Mangiamo's, where they have live music a few nights a week. The place is small, but clean, and we found the service to be very friendly and amicable. The pizza was well better than "good", but nothing life-altering. Still, I'd eat it again without hesitation. The real prize with Mangiamo's is the live entertainment. It's a fun alternative to going to a bar for music, and proved to be a very enjoyable evening. Additionally, there was an awkward man performing walking around performing magic tricks for the patrons. While he's no pro, he's still better than Gob Bluth, although not by much. It was a pleasant experience. In summary-- good food, a nice menu to choose from. Prices are a little high, but it won't break the bank. The place is small, but clean, and the staff was friendly. I can't speak for the performances on other nights, but last night it was a lot of fun. read more

I ordered pizza to go almost every weekend. They used to be very good. I dont know what happened now the service is HORRIBLE! The pizzas were cold even when i arrived 15 minutes before the estimated time they give me. They are extremely disrespectful with clients and NO IDEA OF WHAT CUSTOMERS SERVICE MEANS. Do not waste your time, money and patience with them read more

I was pleased to find delivery pizza with vegan sauce and crust. Our pizza came on time, but with no sauce (which turns out was my mistake, however, since I specifically asked if sauce was vegan, I would expect to be told if I ordered a pizza with no sauce! I've never even heard of pizza without sauce). It was pretty good (better after I added sauce) but this place is pretty expensive. Check their website for coupons! read more

I'm dissapointed to find out I've been paying a service charge all this time for deliveries, and was recently told that the delivery drivers don't get this money. What is the charge for then? Pretty lame. This place is shady, and I'm not surprised by the other reviews. read more

I love Pizza and am always looking for a new favorite spot. I was in town and Mangiamo was close. Had the chicken Parmesan pizza. The sauce was great, the crust was good, The chicken was more like chicken jerkey. So overall not bad. read more

I came to this place thinking I would find Pizza Amore, but it was gone! Well, I was craving pizza so I went anyway. The location is totally remodeled with a very classy look. My husband and I showed up in t-shirts and jeans and felt a little under dressed. A man welcomed us in warmly anyway, haha. The place looked very clean, which I like. If you read some of my other reviews you'll see what a germophobe I am. I saw something right away that made me happy-- a piece of paper pinned up warning the cooks not to use tomatoes unless they're baked on a pizza. That let me know that the management was cognizant of the recent problem with tomatoes and concerned about keeping things clean and safe. I did not try any of the wines, so I can't review the wine aspect of the restaurant, but the pizza was truly wonderful. My husband and I split a 14" thin crust 1/2 garlic chicken 1/2 veggie (called "garden party") pizza. It was a bit of a wait, which was unfortunate because I was already starving, but when we did get our pizza it was beautiful. The very outer edge of the crust was burnt which was kind of a bummer, but other than that it was great. We also split a slice of the New York cheese cake, which was pretty good. The service was friendly. A man, who appeared to be the manager I guess, checked up on us and asked us how it was but wasn't annoying, which I also can't stand. This is a bit of a "higher end" pizza place. The price was more than Pizza Amore, but the pizza + the atmosphere was excellent and worth it. read more

I found this place on a close to home pandemic road trip and it was a pleasant surprise.I definitely will go back. Nice thin crispy crust, mellow but favorable sauce, and quality toppings. read more

Great pizza! I loved the crust and the fresh taste of the toppings. Truly hit the spot!

The best description of the pizza is that it tastes like chewy cheese on oyster cracker bread. If there is such thing as oyster cracker bread. Had the pepperoni, which was the only ingredient on the pizza with much flavor. The cheese was chewy, but not necessarily tasty and neither was the sauce. The sauce was near tasteless, or very subdued. The crust was very flaky but but brought memories of eating a bowl clam chowder with crackers. Average at best. read more

This is the best pizza I've ever had. It is the closest to pizza I've had in Italy. Tasty, thin crust. Their salads are awesome. The owner/chef deserves a 5 star+. read more

In town visiting, thought we'd try. Was not disappointed. Ordered large pizza, Stromboli and Caprese salad, good food!

They delivered! Hard to find anyone to d'liver on my side of Aptos. Pizza quite tasty, esp the thin New York Style. I miss the pizza place that fell into the creek during the earthquake. In those days when the electricity went out every 2 weeks in Aptos, they were the only ones you could get a meal from. That place was awesome (great ambiance) and always the place to go when the power went out (they had gas ovens.) Mangiamo is rather 'regular' for ambiance but the food is good. The guys who work there are friendly........and they deliver! read more

Give me a break, $28.00 for a piece of dough with minimal amount of toppings. Next time I'll stick with Pizza My Heart!

Pizza is disgustingly oily and crust is extremely thin. Delivery takes at least 2 hours. Would not recommend.

I looked up pizza locations in Aptos on Yelp.com to discover Pizza Amore with several really nice reviews. I contacted the restaurant to hear, "Mangiamo" on the other end of the line. Not the best phone greeting, considering they're running off of a former companies business phone number and location, I expected a bit more info. Regardless, I ordered the pie that I wanted. This is a thursday night at 7:15pm. I was told it would be ready for pick-up in 45 minutes. To me? That's a good sign. That means that the place is rockin'. A weeknight with no popular game on TV (other than the Tour de France) and they're that busy. I can deal. I take my daughter (4 years old) to pick up the Pizza. WOW! The place had a 3 piece jazz band and singer outside playing really good background music a couple of families out on the patio enjoying the enjoying the music and a packed house inside. All types were there. People sitting at the small bar enjoying wine and beer. Couples, 1 big party, and other randoms. I immediately thought of bringing my wife here for a date. Very warm surroundings, great art, and a very clean (and viewable) kitchen. We took the pizza home and dug in. Before I can even get a bite in, my wife says, "i think i like _______ better." The other place that we frequent is pretty hard to beat, but I thought it looked similar enough. I took my bite. What?! This was killer! "No way!" i said. Then I took my second bite. Ahhhh, that's what she meant. The crust. Bad, bad, bad. Not the flavor, but the stuff that they put on the bottom of the crust so it doesn't stick as they are making the pie. Most places i've been use cornmeal or others like it, but Mangiamo uses a VERY coarse stoneground wheat, or something. It was so hard that it sounded like we were eating grape nuts cereal with cheese on it. Gross! I really hope they read this and change the rocks that they use. If it wasn't for that, this review would have been an 11! Great flavor, horrible texture. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Mangiamo's for over a year. We get delivery or take out almost every Friday night from that restaurant. It is great pizza. However tonight we went in to the restaurant to have some pizza with my children and a friend and her children. Matt and Brian were working and we ordered our pizza. We ordered half pepperoni and half sausage/pepperoni. They brought us half sausage and half sausage/pepperoni. My friend ordered half cheese and half pepperoni. And they brought my friend half sausage and half cheese. I told them that we actually ordered half pepperoni, not sausage. My daughter will only eat pepperoni (yes I know). They were rude and slammed the cupboard doors and acted like we were putting them out because they got our order wrong and we had asked for half pepperoni. I asked them why they were acting that way when they got our order wrong. They said that they were both sick and had to be there because there are only 3 employees and the manager had no choice. They rolled their eyes at one another and acted quite childish when I questioned their door slamming. They said that they would give us a small pepperoni pizza. I said thanks and continued my conversation with my friend. They brought the pepperoni pizza by walking by and slamming it onto the table without any eye contact and acted completely rude. When we were leaving, I went to the counter to say that I am sorry that that all occurred, but that I am a good customer and that they were acting as if I had done something wrong when they got the order wrong. They looked at each other and laughed and rolled their eyes. They said 'We gave you a free pizza, what more do you want?" I said "Do you realize that you are losing a customer with this childish attitude?" They said "You are acting like you are my Mom..you are not my Mom". At that point I was very tired of the attitudes expressed by these young kids. I said "Do you WANT to get fired?" They said "They can't fire me only 3 people work here". I said "You just lost a good customer" and they said "Good..we don't want you as a customer...LEAVE!". I will be going in to talk to the manager tomorrow. And I must say that I have never complained to any restaurant before. I have never wanted to call a manager. I have never even sent my food back at a restaurant for any reason. These kids were rude and absolutely should not be working in the service industry. I will not be returning, no matter how good the pizza is. read more

If I could give a zero I would. This review is strictly based on service because I didn't get to try the food. Came by today at 7 for a quick bite to eat after shopping all day. Walked in the door and was immediately turned away because they didn't have time to make us pizza before they closed at 8...which is still an hr away. The place was empty! Apparently phone orders take precedence over all else. If management happens to read this, if you want to run a quality business, don't let your staff turn paying customers away. Don't care how great this place is rated, won't return out of prinicple and will be telling family and friends to do the same. read more

I knew the pizza was pricey going in, but I wanted to try it. The pizza was not bad, but for a 35 dollar pizza i expected to be impressed. The pizza was passable. Also, if you are saying the pizza is 18" for 35 bucks, make sure the pizza is 18". The pizza i received was maybe 16" and I know that is splitting hairs but once again $35. In the end I would not get pizza from here again. Its not bad pizza, but it is over priced for what it is. read more
