We came here after leaving another local pizza place due to bad service. Pizza my Heart is always one of our favorites and this location didn't disappoint. The service was good even though they had just opened for the day. The pizza was hot and ready to go. Our favorite was the Manresa, the whipped ricotta on top is amazing. My daughter and I also enjoyed the pepperoni. We always get their hot sauce to take home because it's the perfect compliment. Our only issue was that the soda machine was out of all diet options when we arrived. They fixed that before we left so we were able to get a Diet Coke for the road. The ambiance is classic pizzeria with local Santa Cruz murals and 90's music playing. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back. read more

Get the cheese bread!!! You won't regret it. Hot, crispy, chewy and so cheesy, and it's a great price. Also don't sleep on the pesto ranch. It's fantastic with the cheese bread or a slice. We like to take it to Seacliff for an easy picnic. read more

I love Pizza My Heart! It's fast! It's delicious and their shirt and a slice deal can't be beat! It's definitely a summer tradition for me!

You can never go wrong with pizza my heart, and we were in the area so we stopped by for a slice. You order at the counter , and are given your order immediately if available. Pizza was delicious and service was fast. There's some indoor seating available, but parking can be a little bit harder to find. read more

One of our go to's ! Quick easy and good pizza most of the time! Easy to order ahead and have delivered or pick up.

Using the AppToo Good to Go to get a 12in pizza of $24 value for 7.99 plus tax. Had never had a negative experience here before but do not think i will return given today. App said 12in pizza for $8 of $24 value and got breadsticks. Noticed within 1min of getting item and turned back to alert stagmff if the mistake. Female-presenting staffer who had done the transaction said they didn't always do the description they had in the app and they refused to give an actual pizza or item of stated valu read more

Decided to give them another try and was disappointed again...super thin felt like I was just eating cheese...I get it's thin sliced style but it's all cheese not sure what's up with this location read more

Love this place. Walk in, pay $8 or $9 and 3 minutes later you have a new tee shirt and a hot slice of pizza. My bf has been giving Pizza My Heart tees to everyone he visits (about 48 now) just because he thinks it's a fun thing to do. Yes, he's a little weird, but hey, that's the Santa Cruz way, right? Here's a photo of us with family members near Melbourne, Australia, April 2026. read more

Delicious We are visiting from the Pismo Beach area and trying to find some GOOD pizza is always a hit and miss propisition. But a "local" reviewer on Yelp said "this is the best Pizza in the area" and he said he had tried them all so we gave it a try, and our taste buds are SUPER HAPPY we DID! We had a large 1/2 Castroville and 1/2 Chicken Garlic (but without the bacon) - and both were fantastic. Thanks to the really nice order clerk that gave me the mid week discount too! My wife lived in Santa Cruz YEARS ago and remembers when they opened their first shop on Mission, in she believes in 1981! We definitely recommend Pizza My Heart read more

**Overall: 3.5 stars** Pizza My Heart is a chain, but the pizzas are SOLID! It is hard to walk into one and not order something. They taste consistently good, and the toppings are plentiful! Our favorite is the Big Sur. The veggie one is good also. The prices aren't that bad either. My kids always want to get the tshirt+slice deal for $8. They now collect them because it has the city on the shirt. This store location is close to a great ice cream store and a few steps from the beach. You can grab a pizza and eat it while feeling the sand under your feet and sun on your face! The only downside is it's not great to eat there, even though there's a room for dining-in. The indoor dining area feels more like an after thought with the scattered chairs, unkempt tables, and piles of boxes in the back. If you get pizza here, most take it to-go, so it doesn't seem to bother anyone. read more

Vegan Big Sur. Incredible. Always stocked with Miyoko's vegan cheese, Field Roast vegan sausage, and some kind of vegan pepperoni. They never have the ever-so-common response of "we're out of that". Even New Leaf pulls that shit with their very plant-forward menu. PMH is living up to their commitment to vegan offerings ever since Day 1 with free vegan slices at their Del Mar Shopping Center in Monterey debut. read more

Pizza My Heart is fantastic. They use fresh ingredients, the location is clean and welcoming, and the manager is professional and kind. The entire staff goes above and beyond, they are hardworking, friendly, and truly professional. Great pizza and even better service. read more

Pizza is delicious , and the staff is super courteous. A must visit when we're finished with our run/hike at Nisene Marks

So to start it off they got my order wrong, which is really sad considering I ordered online. How can you mess up an order that is digitally written down in front of your face. They forgot a whole pizza. So we call and tell them, all they said was "ok we will refund you for the pizza, sorry about that." They Didn't offer to make it right by remaking the pizza and delivering it to us. The pizza that did arrive was good. Didn't arrive very hot but the taste and flavor was great. We ordered 3 pizzas in total and received 2 pizzas and a slice. I'm willing to try again because the taste was great. Wish I would have just picked it up though. Customer service I give 1 star. Need harder to try to make customers happy. read more

This review went from "Ashy" to "Classy", due to a manager named Romano. We are locals that order from here all the time. This time my parents were in town from Florida and we rented a room at the Rio Sands and decided we wanted Pizza. We called and ordered for delivery, only to not receive anything and no phone call. We were definitely not happy to say the least. I called the next day to ask for my money back and complain, the Manager Romano explained some of the issues there were having with Door dash, and it made sense to me. Then, he went ahead and refunded our money and gave us a free pizza to make up for the mess. You would think that this kind of service is normal (especially with a mistake like that) but unfortunately, we live in a time where these things don't happen anymore!! Thanks Romano!! read more

The crust was burnt!!!! Seriously!!! One of the kid said it's just the oven. Well freakin clean the oven! Get your pizza right!!!!

This slice of pizza was magnificent! I got the Corralito's Market and it has: Garlic-infused olive oil, Corralito's Market cheesy Bavarian sausage, slow-cooked apples, real bacon & gorgonzola cheese. Each bite was just so good. The bacon and apples went so well together. There was a generous amount of toppings. The crust was perfect. A slight crunch and fullness from the dough made each bite so right. The staff were also very kind and enthusiastic! They seemed really busy. I'm glad I got a slice to go. Yum! Would definitely want to try their other flavors. read more

Pizza My Heart - Corralito's Market. So good! - Pizza Near Me - Aptos, California

We are coming from out of town and looking for a quick place to pick up some dinner. This was close to the freeway and close the beach. Loved the location. We called in our order ahead of time and Happily our pizza was ready right when we arrived. Thankful they have pick up parking right out front. Even as busy as they were, we did not have to wait for a parking spot to pick up our pizza. We decided on a margarita pizza and it was delicious!! So good that I forgot to take a picture. We hope to be back soon and will definitely be going back for another pizza read more

Pizza My Heart - Out front of Pizza 1 - Pizza Near Me - Aptos, California

Ordered one of their vegan pizzas. And it was extremely difficult to eat as base was falling off (as shown in the video). Also taste was very average. They also do not have any menu and when asked for a menu response was we don't have bro, I'm just saying it right (I asked for menu as there were few different options and each one with different toppings, so it wasn't easy to grasp all the details when he was saying out so fast) read more

Pizza 1 has been Pizza My Heart for a while now. The location is great for taking slices home or to the beach. They are always slinging slices! It's kid friendly and has indoor and outdoor seating. read more

We would always go here when I'm at pizza one. We are very happy that they still have the Corralitos pizza. However, the crust is not that great it's thin, easily breakable not appetizing but all its crust and it's close to our house. read more

It's really sad that half of the choices on the by the slice menu were not available. Very disappointing.

I've been putting up with the surly service because the pizza is good. Today I noticed a 50 cent charge for the box my slices came in. I note that the packets of parmesan and chili flakes have been moved behind the counter so you can't reach them, and they don't give you any with your pizza. There was a shaker with chili flakes by the water cooler, but not of Parmesan. The pizza isn't good enough to overcome surly service, hidden charges, and lack of condiment. I'm done. read more

I think it's odd how people claim that this is the best pizza they have ever had. Have they never had pizza before? Maybe they have only had pizza from Little Caesar's or something. Not sure if this county doesn't allow indoor or outdoor eating yet because they do have a room to the left when you walk in, but it was blocked off. No tables outside either. They have two spots that says Pizza 1 pickup only. The parking in this area is kind of crazy. So you walk in and in the case they had 6 different pizzas. We got 4 different slices, one Hawaiian, one w artichoke, one w chicken and margarita. The pizza all together wasn't all that great. The crust was like a combination or cracker crust and frozen bread dough. If you want good Pizza, go to Pizza Mia in Watsonville. Theirs is a million times better. read more

Standard Pizza My Heart offering but in the old "Pizza One" location. Kinda miss the original of I'm honest, but still a good pizza. Ambiance isn't much better, but service was pleasant and fast. read more

Perhaps it's hard to get enough or your best employees to work on a holiday. Sullen staff. Not a smile on anyone's face. Said I'd like a glass of water, was referred to the side wall and a decanter. Thanked her, walked over. No cups. Walked back, asked for a cup. "We don't have any, would you like to buy a bottle of water? Nope. Cups were located and re-stocked. Water decanter empty. Tables all dirty. Trash overflowing. Long wait. Brought out a to go box and asked if we had 3 pieces of pizza. No, 2, so she took the box back. Returned with the box a bit later with our correct slices. No longer hot. No metal tray offered for divvying it up for eating as usually provided for dine in. read more

Pizza was a bit rubbery, service was good and fast. Both times we went inside they were slow it seemed.

The pizza is good, especially if you eat at the restaurant, but the delivery takes way too long.

They reached out directly after a less than stellar experience and made notice! Much appreciated and they still have fabulous pizza

Amazing pizza!!! My only complaint is that the girl who gave me my pick up order was too lazy to put more ranch into a container so she told me they were out. I went on 12/29/2023 at 8:50pm. Please tell this young lady that if she would like a tip maybe she can not be lazy and get some ranch. :) read more

This spot has reopened as a Pizza My Heart which I personally really like and am happy to support. They are also currently selling $10 t-shirt and slices to support Capitola's rebuilding with Capitola Strong shirts. They've been there long enough to remove the old sign and replace it with a Pizza My Heart one tho, not sure why they haven't done that as it leads to confusion. Still, a really good and inexpensive lunch to grab a slice and go out to the cliffs to enjoy over the water. read more

Had a DoorDash issue and the restaurant made it right no questions asked! And more importantly, the pizza was phenomenal!

I walked here about a quarter mile from the beach and my nephew and I decided to pick out this place among the restaurants next to it. I couldn't help but to take my steps inside from the baked pizza aroma. I was amazed by the pizza slices laid out neatly. So I know we are in the right place. My nephew and I decided to get a whole box with meat and apple, and I decided to try a Margherita slice, and my nephew tried the combo meat. It wasn't long enough that aside from a box with combo meat, pepperoni, cheeses, etc. Perhaps we were hungry and felt like to order pretty much everything. Lol The staffs were helpful and friendly. They make sure they see you happy as you take the first bite. Well, from what my mouth can remember with the first bite of the Margherita pizza - it was like an explosion in my mouth. It was so delicious as I had my teeth dig into cheese and dough with which was soft and crispy at the same time. The ingredients were fresh, and the cheese oozed out from the mixture as a result of a happy dance. :-) All the slices were so delicious, and I am thankful that these place existed, for almost $5.00 per slice is well worth for a bite. I know this place rocks! I hope you stay the same with the best ingredients. Don't forget to stop by and enjoy every bite! Pizza Cheers! read more
