    a pizza in a box
    Janet C.

    Went to Mangiamo last night to get takeout. This was our first time ever having pizza from there. We were skeptical but open to trying it because it's so close to home and we were stopping for groceries at Deluxe anyway. I would give this place 4-stars if it weren't for the fact that the employees making the pizzas were not wearing masks. The cashier was great and wore his mask properly the entire time and sanitized his hands before taking our order. One woman in the kitchen had a mask on but it was so loose and low that her nose and mouth were both exposed while she worked on pizzas. The other guy making pizzas didn't wear a mask at all. Ordinarily it would be NBD but in times of covid it's concerning. The pizzas were a pleasant surprise. They are thin crust and crispy (great for thin crust fans) and there is large variety of pizzas to choose from. We ended up ordering a large pizza: half garlic chicken (Olive oil, garlic sauce, chicken, sun dried tomatoes w/ mozzarella and provolone) and half Strombeta (Red sauce ,salami, pancetta, Canadian bacon, pepperoncini, artichokes, feta with mozzarella and provolone). I heated up my pizza slices in the microwave before eating any. Hopefully that did something.

    Wondering why the pizza crust is so thin especially for a $30 pizza. The service was fine, but nothing special and unfortunately it was in a terrible location. best to stay away from this place because it's a waste of money.

    UPDATED MUSIC SCHEDULE David Paul Campbell will perform on Friday March 28 and Friday, April4 from 5-8 PM. No cover. Sit inside or outside. This is SO worth the drive. The house wine is some of the best I've tasted and Wednesday night you can get a bottle for $10! Wednesday night there's also a great blues singer. His name is Dave Campbell and he's there every Wednesday. AND the pizza is terrific. What a great little place to hang out and get top notch service, food, drink AND music! Inside or outside. I'm revising this review to note that Mangiamo's has expanded their live music. Now they have folks playing 6 nights a week. I think it's the only place in Aptos that can claim such a thing. Mon-Thurs from 6-8 boasts David Paul Campbell. A pro touring and session guitar player who moved from LA to Santa Cruz in 2007 for the surfing and KPIG. He plays blues and jazz, Celtic and jug band stuff and whatever comes to mind. He also takes requests. It's a great way to spend the dinner hour. He also plays some Friday nights so check the online calendars in Santa Cruz Weekly and places like that because Mangiamo's lists their acts in all of them in Santa Crux and San Jose. Friday night you get George Christos from 6-9 PM. A local guy playing everything from James Taylor to The Eagles with a fine helping of The Beatles tossed in for good measure. Saturday night is for jazz fans and Roberto-Howell is there playing some straight ahead jazz that makes for a wonderful Saturday Date Night. The place is family friendly and the prices are reasonable and the house wine is still top of the line. The pizza is just grand and if you prefer you can request their sweet sauce - thought that spicy stuff just rocks, IMO. They've added some desserts and coffee too. And if you're too tied up to get out, they'll deliver to the house. But if you do that, you don't get the music. They're open Sunday but it's food and drink only. No music is available during that time.

    Parking can be a problem on the weekends during the summer, since the beach is right next door…read more Most of the pastries are from Companion Bakeshop. I tried two items: - 5/5: The Machiatto is excellent. They serve 11th hour coffee. - 3/5: The Mexican chocolate pie ($8/slice) is too sweet. All I can taste is sugar.

    We came here twice during our stay nearby. The first time was decent. Coffee was good, staff was…read moreok, the food was tasty but inconsistent. (The meat pie and pastry we ordered were not warmed all the way, but the bagel was good) Then inside seating area was also sticky and slightly dirty looking. Our second visit was yesterday 6/20, and it sounds like we weren't the only unhappy customers based on other reviews. I'm not surprised to hear the lady in charge that morning rudely made customers leave because she "needed a reset". We asked about getting pizza around 10:45 am, which we acknowledged was early...but just asking to see what was possible. Instead of a real explanation, we got a snarky look at her watch and just an "um, noooo" with a bad attitude. If there was a real reason, like the dough wasn't ready or the oven wasn't on (it was, we could see the flames) I would understand. However, the lady was complaining to a coworker about an issue with the manager or something while we waited in line so there was already some unprofessional behavior beyond the lack of customer service. We left without getting anything at that point. We won't be back to Venus, The Pixie Deli down the street has good food and friendly service.

There were TVs everywhere and they were showing hockey, baseball, and basketball. For the food, I really enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Salad.

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.

At least 15 parties, but this gentleman was on it, filling everyone's drinks, asking for next round of alcoholic drinks, serving food, bussing tables! Fish and chips - fish was cut into smaller bite size portions rather than entire fillets (mixed opinion). It tasted good, well seasoned and crispy. Chips are the real deal -medium cut, lightly battered (Black country style), crispy, well seasoned with paprika mix. These tend to stay crisp for a long time thus providing nice accompaniment with multiple rounds of drinks. Cheesesteak - thin cut tri-tip was well done, juicy, tender meat, good amount of onions and peppers and swish cheese. All in all good local joint
