I've been here a handful times and it's one of my favorite pizza places in Aptos/Santa Cruz. I've tried their combo, pepperoni, pesto, Hawaiian slices and they're all reasonably priced. I enjoy the pepperoni and sausage slice because the sausage doesn't have the fennel seeds that most pizza places have. I've never tried ordering a whole pizza from them so I can't speak on that. I've tried their ravioli and fettuccine but the stromboli was most flavorful. read more

We live in Aptos and eat here about once a month. Just can't beat it esp lasagna special on Wednesdays. Large dish easily split for 8.50! A neighborhood pizza place with nice friendly people and 2 TVs. Just don't expect The Sparrow or French Laundry. read more

Everything about it is average but at least the beer selection was decent. I had an Alvarado St IPA, pepperoni pizza, and wings.

Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. The crust is unmatched. Try the Hawaiian pizza with bacon and jalapeños, BOMB!

We were staying at Seacliff SB and got a late start on our trip here so we decided to grab pizza on our way in so we didn't have to set up camp AND cook dinner. We were 50-50 on grabbing it here or the known entity of Mountain Mikes next door. BIG mistake! Absolutely should have gone with Mountain Mikes as this pizza was horrible! The "crust" was like having pizza on a slice of bread that had no flavor. The sauce was decent but the rest was just not good....such a disappointment! Go anywhere else. read more

Employees are always super nice!!! And of course the pizza is amazing. Try the wings too! Great specials as well. Thanks guys!

This place has slices, which can be a convenient last minute meal and the pizza is fairly consistent. The only problem is I have a kid who can't do the red sauce. I asked if they could use ranch instead and was told that, unfortunately, they could only use red sauce. I thought maybe he didn't understand. I tried one more time by asking if they could just spread some ranch with a utensil (wouldn't want to dirty their sauce brush) so there's a little something beneath the cheese. He said he was sorry, but wouldn't be able to authorize that and would have to talk with management. Last time I checked, management wasn't eating my pizza. If you can alter toppings, you can alter sauce. Maybe they'll change things up in the near future so we can give them another go. read more

Followed store after move. Tried for the first time pizza. It was pretty good. Crust was nothing special. What was was the 20 min prep time that was exact. Curious to try daily specials but I still like Round Table better for pizza. read more

Horrible customer service! Wowie the cashier was completely out of line. She was not only rude when we asked when our appetizer was coming out but they messed up our order, then gave it to the people that ordered after us FOR FREE. Super strange. Not how I think a restaurant should be run. Oh and our wings were also burnt.. sad pizza night. Never going back and will not recommend. read more

$30+ for a large pizza, super light on the toppings and absolutely no flavor. The crust was not really pizza like, more like regular soft bread. Very unsatisfactory for the cost. In this case, I would prefer DiGiorno's easily! read more

I've had pretty good luck there. They are one of the few pizzerias who offer gluten-free for those of us who cannot eat wheat. However, tonight I ordered a pizza and it looked like someone who had never made a pizza before made this one. It was supposed to be pesto which has ricotta & pesto sauce. There were a few about a quarter of a teaspoon spots of pesto and virtually no ricotta. Looked like they had squeezed a few squiggles of pizza on. Kind of sad. read more

Good pizza. No frills atmosphere. Good selections. Came fresh and hot. Pesto ricotta and cheese. Spinach Tomato and mozzarella. Wine n beer available. Nice service! read more

Disappointing. Toppings on the pizza were very sparse - hardly any mushrooms. Ordered spaghetti with creamy pesto and it wasn't even green. Greasy and tasted like alfredo. read more

Decent local pizza place that sells by the slice and has other Italian favorites like pasta and meatballs. Great service, relatively clean for a counter and plenty of seating inside. My pizza was excellent and made from fresh ingredients. Not your typical pizza place, the peppers on my pizza were very fresh and the meat tasted of high quality. Thank you Showtime Pizza. Too bad the movie theater next door shut down, maybe someone will buy it and start it up again. See picture below to see what I am talking about with fresh ingredients. read more

I was skeptical at first but for 3.25 you get a "slice" of pepperoni pizza (which is about 2 slices). 2 of those and a soda for less than 10 bucks and you've got some happy kiddos. Not too shabby read more

We love this little hole in the wall pizza spot. They've been in business for 20 years. Freindly staff, very clean but well worn in. The Stromboli is to die for. read more

Love coming here for a slice. Pizza is delicious and good local beer on tap. Highly recommend this pizzeria.

Solid pizza from a local, friendly crew. Good beer on tap, including from Corralitos Brewery. Buy by the hearty slice or whole pie or try one of their other Italian specialties like ravioli or a meatball sandwich. read more

Delicious pizza! It hit the spot late at night for a low key date! The pizza has a nice toasty flavor and the crust is the perfect thickness. Definitely recommend it. read more

I have enjoyed Showtime Pizza for the last 5 years and I consider their pizza the best in Santa Cruz County!! Always delicious, no matter if I choose a combo, vegetarian or pineapple and bacon: it is always fresh, plenty of fillings and Oh! so wonderful!! They have so many great options other than pizza and one of my favorites is their raviolis!! Amazing, lick the dish good!! Their new location is SO much nicer, bigger with a great little patio and a terrific mural of the Cement Ship along one whole wall!! Great family who owns and runs it! A real neighborhood eatery!!! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my pizza, it was beyond superb! I was even more impressed that the owner himself was the great chef behind the prized pizza I drooled over. They have all kinds of variety of hot dinners & lunch... like lasagna, spaghetti n meatball, sandwiches!!! Haven't tried it all but if your pizza is that tasty - everything else couldn't be far from great. read more

Great people, really good pizza and they always make it right when a mistake is made. Try these guys!

No idea how this shop holds 4 star review. I would describe the pizza as extremely what ever. The crust isn't good, the toppings mediocre and the price is too high for the quality. read more

My wife and I decided to stop here on the way home and are very glad we did. The staff is friendly, the establishment is clean, and the pizza is delicious. The prices are a little high but the value is quite good and it's a locally owned restaurant so that's gotta count for something. Check it out folks, you won't be sorry. read more

We have been going to Showtime for years. Of all the pizza places in Aptos, this place seems to check all of the boxes for everyone in our family. The deep dish is a special treat. The regular crust is tasty. On the softer side of crust, unlike a Village Host or Pizza My Heart. The toppings are always fresh and the sauce tastes like sauce. The customer service at the register, no matter who we have had, has always been consistent and friendly. read more

I'm a fan of really thick crust pizza, which this place isn't. But I tried the combo and Sicilian slices and really liked them both. The crest is thin but tasty and not burnt like other places that heat them up for too long. The toppings are fresh and heavy. The minimal cheese makes them less greasy and still has good flavor. I'm a fan! read more

The pizza is okay but the wings weren't very good at all. Originally, the chicken wasn't cooked well enough but they happily put them back in. Service was good. read more

We stayed at Aptos for short break and wanted some local pizza. I was hoping for some good eats, but man was it disappointing. We ordered two large pizzas, a pepperoni and the other half combination and half Hawaiian. It cost almost $45 and it was not worth it. The dough was flat and chewy like it had been prepared days before. I don't know how a pizza could be sooo bland, but it was. The pizza reminded me of tasteless school cafeteria pizza. I could not say much about the eatery setting since we had our food to go. If you don't mind lackluster, bland, pricey pizza then this place is for you. read more

Showtime is okay pizza. I've tried it a bunch of times through out the years, even in the old and new location. The pies never really impressed me. I happen to agree with Jay H. about the pizza. The curst is okay, the sauce is nothing to talk about and the toppings isn't special. There are way too many good places in the area not to try to be up and beyond. It must have a following because it's been around for a while. Me I'd rather go to another pizza joint or even a chain then come to show time. read more

Please stay away. The pizza was worse than frozen u bake. My 40 dollar door dash is going in the trash and I'm ordering from another place. Wish there was an option for no stars read more

Usually go here for most pizza needs. Nightly specials are definitely worth it. Respectable pizza, even gluten free crust options

I started going here from their old location and the pizza is bomb and I will recommend this location to my friends a good place to relax and have a beer and a slice read more

Bought pizza there today. Employees don't seem to have regard for taking precautions for distancing. Had to ask cashier to step back when using Apple Pay. He looked perplexed and offended. No masks, no gloves. Recommend some training. read more

We eat there often. Consistently pizza is delicious, hot, and has plenty of toppings. they have many toppings to choose from sauce is delicious different choices of crust. never have had a bad pizza from them. read more

I like that it's very clean and cozy. The service is okay. I liked my cheese pizza. I would not recommend getting the wings. They weren't good at all... The lasagna did look good. read more

Great pizza. The sauce is the difference. Especially good pesto pizza. The meatballs were also very good. Casual atmosphere. Fast, friendly service. Great for the whole family. We will be back with each visit to Aptos. read more

Probably the worst pizza I have ever experienced. I cannot believe the positive YELP reviews for this place. The "regular" size pizza is equivalent to a medium anywhere else. The dough was tough and tasted like it had been frozen too long. The ingredients were thin, scarce, and lacked any flavor. . . And all this mess cost $23!!! Two of us literally ate one slice each and then we threw out the rest. . . Never again... read more

Well, this place is conveniently located and the service is good. However, their ingredients were cheap. The dough and cheese were just really mediocre. Would I go back? Maybe...its convenient. Prices are too high for the quality. read more

Excellent pizza by the slice. Crust is a thin style and very tasty. The sauce was great. We ordered a slice of Chicken Pesto with sun dried tomato and a slice of combination. We added in one pre-made Greek salad and 2 soda fountain drinks all for under $20. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Staff was friendly as well. We will go back again for sure. read more
