Pizza Gago catered our wedding. Not only was it unique, it was affordable. Gago was communicative and accommodating. Our vegan guests loved the vegan options. Having our guests feast on the delicious grazing board and spinach artichoke cheesecakes while the pizzas cooked was the move. I would highly recommend hiring Gago for your next event and/or trying what he has to offer at local farmers markets. read more

All flavor no fluff. Creative combinations. My stomach feels good after eating their pizza. Other pizza's with loads of cheese and more dense crust can be tempting and even make my mouth a bit happy for moment but my stomach feels dense afterwards. The crust has chew and structure though not like a cracker (which was a pizza trend elsewhere that I wasn't liking but also not fond of the bread like flavorless thicker crusts (not talking deep dish which a place in Bay Area did well somehow). I forget the owner's name..begins with a P I think ....anyway very hard worker who puts his head and heart into producing his products. They do catering too..i looked it up on FB or Instagram and was amazed at how many other things he makes and how delicious it also looked. I'd give 6 stars if that was an option and they had some oregano or other herbs on the side to put on pizza if we like ...pizza places in general used to do that and haven't seen it anywhere. Oregano is easy to grow. Some might find it pricy for the lightness of the pizza so if you need a hearty meal their pizza might not do it for you. I have only had their pizza at the farmers market and it tastes so good i have to use will power not to eat the whole thing . I save half for the next day and sometimes add an egg on it for breakfast. Reheating in cast iron pan brings the crust back to life and I don't put it in the frig overnight to also keep the crust good and i turn the pizza upside down so crust not soggy but with his pizza no much chance of that cause he does some sort of dough magic that makes his crust hold and not soak up the toppings. read more

So I knew they had delicious pizza but recently we had them cater our work holiday party. It was just as good. We had the woodfired salmon and woodfired steak options. They cam with polenta and vegetables. The salmon was perfect, one of the best I've had. The steak was cooked perfectly and so tender. The vegetables were really good too and I'm not big into vegetables. The polenta was good, too. The service was great. They were so helpful from start to finish and very understanding and flexible. They were friendly and did a great getting everyone their food. I would definitely recommend them for any catering you have. They have something for everyone. read more

Pizza Gago catered our wedding and it was amazing!!! Needless to say that our guest were beyond stoked with the food! Gago had a sweet setup that made it easy for our guest to get their food and was extremely quick with providing the food. We are genuinely so happy to have had him cater our wedding. He made us look like "cool guys" P.s he also made pizza without cheese, so our friends who are vegan were happy! Pizza Gago has great communication and provides excellent service! Thank you, Gago read more

Last September I exchanged a few pleasant emails with Pizza Gago regarding the possibility of catering a wedding, but apparently a lot has changed in a year. Please see the the attached, late-night, indecorous email sent by the business owner after I didn't respond to him sending me an unsolicited menu update (that was in my junk folder) Brides beware.... read more

Wood fired pizza!! and then set up by Humboldt Regeneration Brewery & Farm on Wednesdays for "Ween-sday" pizza and beer night (this little pizza/beer night has one more night before this 2015 winter season sets in at the beer garage - last one of this year is Nov. 4 @ HRB). This little pizza truck and trailer combo is hard to beat, great hand tossed wood fired pizza with local ingredients whenever possible. Made right in front of you, to order and all in about 10-12 minutes. The owner sets up at a variety of locales across the north coast area. When you see the yellow " Pizza Gago" banner be sure to give him a try, you will be glad you did. This cool mobile Pizza trailer is quite a set up, the owner gets most of his ingredients from local west coast sources. The evening of our encounter with Pizza Gago - there were two chalk boards set up - one with a list of all the local purveyors used for the evening and the other; a daily offerings board. There were half a dozen options to choose from off the board from a classic cheese only pie to more elaborate toppings. We ordered three 11" pies - two classic cheese and one "New Westhaven" which consisted of a wonderful mix of prosicutto, pine nuts, caramelized onions and thinly sliced apples, all on top of some of the very best crust I have ever had. It was so good if fact that I went to the owner to inquire as to where his flour came from, which he told me is sourced out of Sonoma county. An 11" Pie ranges from around $10-$13 depending on toppings, and its more than enough for one and to even share with others. Which we did, I also tried a slice from a friend of the Pepperoni pizza and it was equally as awesome. Out of the three different styles I tasted on our recent visit - they all were very good. A few things to know before you go - He does not do "Slices" whole pies only, and its cash and carry. Other than that, you walk up place your order, pay for your pie and give him your name and about 10-12 +/- minutes if he is not slammed and your ready. All in all a great pizza, with great locally sourced ingredients and awesome one on one service. Well worth a stop when you see him set up at an event you're at. We are already looking forward to the last one of this year in two weeks, and then again next spring when the Pizza Gago truck & trailer reappears for Pizza & Beer "Ween-sday" at the beer garage... A Solid 4 stars - you will be glad you tried him. 00303 read more

Pizza Gago catered our 150 person wedding, and were incredible! Their pizza is delicious, and Pawel & Kilen are great to work with. We got to meet up with Pawel while they were making pizza at the local farmers market to give it a try, and learned that Pawel sources his ingredients from local farms, so everything is fresh and has great flavor. Pawel and Kilen were a joy to work with. They are organized and responsive, and everything went smoothly on the day of our wedding. They were able to accomodate our large guest list by recommending we do a buffet style spread for the pizza, and made family style salads for all the tables to munch on. The cooking was entirely self contained and did not require power and water, a must for our remote location. If you're planning a party, or just looking for good food at one of the local farmers markets or events, we could not recommend Pizza Gago enough. read more

I'm not one for food reviewing but this pizza is worthy. I was craving a pizza margherita after watching eat.pray.love a couple Sundays ago and knew that craving couldn't be satisfied by any place in McKinleyville anytime soon (I was almost desperate enough to try to replicate one with a thin crust from papa murphys, yikes!). But it just so happened several days later at the McK Thursday Farmers Market I noticed the yellow banner while driving by in my commuter van and new exactly what we would be having for dinner! This pizza was delicious! The crust was excellent and tomatoes were perfect! I ordered the pizza margherita and my partner ordered the pepperoni (he's kinda a plain eater). I tried a bite of his pepperoni and it was delicious as well. The indgredients blended well, no one overwhlemed the other and they made for a delicious combination. I recommend a try, be warned cardboard box pizza eaters (roundtable, pizzahut, etc), this is the real deal which we all should have been consuming from the start! Free yourself from the grease! Ps, he does catering too. I feel like hosting an event just to eat pizza!! read more

Pizza Gago - Pizza margherita - Pizza Near Me - McKinleyville, California

Just got done splitting a pizza with my daughter. We got the pepperoni (Pepperone) at the Arcata Farmers Market. Some of the best pizza I've had in a while. Decent price for a hand made wood fired pie. I am hoping that when I visit my kid, they will be at the market to get more. read more

I'm always hopeful to find Pizza Gago at local Humboldt events. Good pizzas that are creative and use fresh ingredients!

Outstanding wood fired artisan pizza with fresh local ingredients. From excellent versions of traditional margherita and pepperoni pizzas to unique creations, these guys can do it all. They recently catered a wedding I attended and everyone agreed that their food was the highlight of the event. Highly recommended. read more

Pizza Gago catered the rehearsal dinner for my wedding in Samoa this past weekend. He was very professional, prompt, and a great communicator. He arrived early to get the pizza oven going and then churned out delicious wood-fired pizza for over 2 hours. I appreciated that he read the room and continued making pizzas as people kept coming back for more. At the end of the night, he packaged up the leftover pizza in pizza boxes and late night guests happily took it home. Everyone at the party raved about the pizza, not to mention the coolness of having a wood-fired cob oven on wheels pull up to your event! He had great energy, was calm and collected, and charges very reasonable prices considering the level of service he provided. I wouldn't have changed anything about the experience we had hiring him and I 100% recommend him for event catering. read more

Every Thursday at farmers market it's pizza time in mckinleyville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great place for authentic pizza. Nice crispy base and a generous topping. I come here quite a lot and each time try a different topping. It's hard to choose a favorite because they are all really fresh and tasty with the perfect amount of seasoning. Good service too read more

I first tried this pizza 2 years ago at mckinleyville pony express days and I have been addicted to it ever since. I come from CT, home of the best pizza in the world, and these pies remind me of home. The crust is thin and perfect, sauce is flavorful and not too soggy and the cheese and toppings are always unique and fresh. I'm looking forward to my next gago pie. read more

Pizza Gago catered our daughter's wedding in Eureka, Ca. They were so easy to work with, even when planning from out of town. The menu was extensive and versatile. We had 4 types of gourmet pizzas and salad that was delicious and well liked by all the guests. The owners were so friendly with the wedding guests and provided food choices for guests with diet restrictions. They were well worth the money and made our reception perfect! Please look them up and use them at your next fun event! Thanks Pizza Gago read more

Last weekend I went to my buddy's wedding who had Pizza Gago cater the event. The crew was very professional and served amazingly creative and delicious pizza and homemade lasagna to all the guests. I spoke with the chef after the dinner who draws on inspiration for his pizzas from traditional fare to modern movements to anything in between including other cultural dishes. The great thing about having the pizza at the event was the variety of choice in their pizzas. They had at least ten different varieties of thin crusted wood fired pizza neatly displayed and offered to make any specific flavor you want. I loved all the variety and sampled every one of them. My favorites where of the gourmet variety to include a the prosciutto and blue cheese pie and the Chile verde creation. Of course traditional types were made for the less adventurous. Overall the wood fired pizza was a huge success for the wedding and left me with a lasting impression to eat more pizza! read more

We recently had Pizza Gago cater a birthday party. It went smoothly, they showed up on time, cranked out the pizzas and brought them into our venue for our guests to eat. Everyone loved being served fresh, yummy pizza! I would def recommend! read more

Went to Mad River Brewery last night and discovered Pizza Gago making pizzas outside ,so thought we would give it a try as all the ingredients were listed as organic ( and local where possible ) . Wow -- have to say that it was the best pizza we have ever had ( and being in our 60's we have had a lot of pizza in our lives ! ) from the perfect crust with just the right amount of crisp and bubbly bits to the perfect melding of flavors we were SO in love . People across from us at our table got some also and had the same rapturous expression on their faces . This is not for people who think pizza is something with uncooked thick dough and smothered with a mountain of runny cheese ( Dominos --yuck ) ,but the star is definitely the crust with a minimal amount of toppings but maximum flavor . Can't wait to have some more -- hope to find him again soon . read more
