Had a great experience at the slice project location, located on hanger Way near the Watsonville airport. We got two slices of pep and I've also tried one of their large pizzas. The slices of pepper are so delicious on one of them. We added hot honey and received a packet so we could put as much as we wanted on. It was so yummy and definitely passes the fold test. If you are going to get a whole pie, just know it's a really big portion so I would definitely recommend getting one if you are planning on sharing with friends, especially on a beach day. Location is cute and you're able to enjoy the outdoors, especially in the summer. It's nice to also walk around to the other restaurants and beer garden. There is a gentleman that works there almost every time I go, and he is very kind and considerate for only having one or two people behind the counter. They are very fast on getting your food out to you. Love having some fun, local eateries to go to! read more

If I could have this every day I would! Ordered two pepperoni slices and I wish I would have recorded the sound of the crunchy crust being separated from the rest of the pizza pie Perfect crisp, perfect amount of grease, perfect taste! One of Watsonvilles many hidden gems! read more

Hubby and I were staying close to the area and were super excited to try the Detroit style pizza. Unfortunately, we got there when it was super busy filled with parents who couldn't make up there mind what to order and was holding up the line longer than it should've. When we got to the front the guy kindly told us there was no more Detroit pizza. We had to order sliced pieces of pizza that were not fresh but reheated. They were still good but would've loved for the pizza to be fresh especially since we traveled there. The staff was nice and very busy, we even cleaned our own table because they were just too busy. Hope we can make it back and try the Detroit pizza one of these days :) read more

This place was super cool! The service was great, the prices were pretty good, the place was super clean, and pizza is great!! We got 2 slices and a 4 piece square. Will definitely have to come back to try the burger pop ups they have. Definitely worth the 5 stars!! read more

I did not expect pizza this good coming out of Watsonville. I expect good Mexican food, but I did not anticipate. I'll get this pizza was gonna be fantastic. These folks know what they're doing. read more

Bought some slices from here, Amazing place. Came out really fast, and the pizza was absolutely amazing. I will be coming back!

Absolutely delicious pizza! We have a tradition of getting pizza before our beach trip! I searched on yelp and this gem popped up! Wowzers this pizza is outstanding! Really delicious wood fired crust, fantastic ingredients... they have the cup pepperoni that gets so crispy AND cup sausage? We waited about 12 minutes from order to pizza being ready and honestly, one of the best pizzas I have had in a loooong time! Highly recommend and we are already planning our second visit! read more

First time coming here. I've been meaning to try this joint, but finally had time to do so. Located in the heart of downtown Watsonville, next to what used to be the fox theater. I came right before they were about to close, and luckily they still had some slices left to sell. So I ordered the lil pep. It was good, deep, lightly and doughy. The pepperoni was crispy and savory. The pizza features cheese on all ends out the doneness spectrum which made for an excellent flavor and texture profile. Now as for the crust, I have to say it was delicious! I love a good crunchy thick crust and there was plenty of it. Great portions, prices are fair considering how big the slices are. You really get your moneys worth here, having said that I know I'll definitely be back. Seems like a cool kick it spot to have a cold beer and pizza. It sorta reminded me of pizza my heart. Overall the employees were all nice and didn't try to rush me despite they were getting ready to close - thank you! This spot is banging on all cylinders. read more

Had the Detroit pizza with sausage and onion - it had a nice crispy crust but a bit more salty than my preference. Probably still the best pizza in Watsonville. read more

Has to be one of the best pizzas I've ever had, I'm from Riverside California, I wanted to try this spot my first day in Watsonville but I got there to late, I went the next day and it was worth going back there!! A pizza place like this in downtown riverside would be so successful please open a spot over here!! Give this place a chance, you won't regret it at all! read more

I just went the other day to Slice project and had a slice of pepperoni pizza don't get me wrong the pizza is good. But there was a brown hair in the crust that's really nasty. I was so disgusted I had to throw it away. read more

Best New York style pizza in California! Fresh toppings, crispy bottom crust, and craft beers. The pizza has a crispy bottom and chewy top. The crust stands up to the toppings and cheese. No soggy crusts here. Combo Slice PizzaCupping PepperoniSupreme read more

Pizza was good and it had a cool vibe! The employees could've been more professional but it was fine.

Should update their hours; Yelp said open until 8, walked in at 7:34 and was told the kitchen was closed. The kitchen closes 30 min before the stated close time, never heard of that before. Bummer after driving in from Santa Cruz for a pie. read more

The best pizza I have had since NY or SF. Both tasty and filling. Prices are good considering what you get. Save yourself a trip back east and try both the Detroit style as well as the "Lil Pep" both are great choices. Thanks Slice Project for bringing excellent pizza to Watsonville as well as Santa Cruz County. Proving once again keeping it simple is the best way to go... read more

Fantastic pizza and customer service are provided by these young restaurateurs. I have had a few of their different specialty pies--including their "White Bugatti" and "Pineapple Express" in addition to some standard custom requests too. read more

The pizza is delicious and huge. Good enough for a family of four or two hungry adults.

Great location downtown. Lively and inviting atmosphere with a small open kitchen that you can see it all be made. The square pie was divine. Crust was crisp and as cheesy as my heart desired. The little pep cups dripping with greasy goodness. It's indulgent for sure and I'm ready to come back and try the new York style pie. read more

This place is not a pizza place in Watsonville. It is THE pizza place in Watsonville. Their Detroit style pizza was one of the best pizza's I have had in a long time, and I highly recommend the 313 to anyone considering it. They got the pizza out to us quickly, they were very helpful, and the place is a nice spot with cool decor. Amazing spot! read more

Phenomenal! Possibly the best pizza we've ever had! We ordered the White Bugatti and the Detroit style 313, both were excellent!

THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Coming from someone who grew up in the pizza industry, this place is ranked among my top ten. Trust me, this is where it's at. The dough, the sauce, the cheese, the cupping pepperoni, the sausage--all top notch! If you want pizza, get it here. You won't be disappointed! The food, the service, the ambiance, casual and quaint. All 10/10! Will definitely be back! read more

Love the deep dish. Probably will get a smaller next time since I love the crispy corners best. Hopefully someday(soon) they make a vegan version of the deep dish... that miyokos cheese is bomb! read more

Had a fresh slice of pie, the sauce was lava and the cheese was cheesy, it was win for me.

This is my 2nd review. My first experience at this spot was less than stellar. The owner, Brandon, reached out to me and was very apologetic about my experience. He did not know about the 3rd party intrusion on his site that charged a convenience fee when ordering. He has been able to get that removed so no other customer can be charged for a bogus service. Good on ya. He also offered a free pie. I took him up on that this evening. This time I opted for the Detroit style. It was delectable! Cheesy, saucy and perfectly balanced. Thank you Brandon for your professionalism. And kudos to your staff. I can happily recommend your business to my guests, family and friends! Thank you! read more

I loved their pizza options, but when I do come in for a "slice" they only have cheese and pepperoni. I know it's what the high schoolers like and buy, but dang, I'd like some variety! read more

Excellent pizza! My husband and I were really impressed! The pizza sauce and cheese were flavorful, the veggie ingredients tasted fresh, and the crust was perfect. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've been a huge fan since they opened...been there countless times! And have posted reviews before. My daughter and husband came down from Seattle to visit for a week and went there three times during their stay,.. said it was the best New York style pizza they've ever had...and they're both are pizza aficionado's! Even considered moving here just so they can have their Pizza on a regular basis. If you haven't tried the Slice Project you're missing out! read more

Amazing pizza, friendly staff, and relaxed environment. What else can you ask for? I don't go here often but when I do I always enjoy the food and staff. If you're visiting or have never been here I highly recommend this place! read more

My guys got it right! Stayed at Pajaro Dunes for a lil get away and got a itch for pizza and didn't want to drive far. Yelp did not disappoint in sending us to this gem. Best PIE I had in a long time! One pizza can feed 4 and some! Don't skip on them Pizza was fresh and you could taste the quality in the ingredients! I'll be back! read more

I heard about this place a week or so ago and have been desperate to go ever since. I finally went today and had a slice of the White Bugatti and a Detroit-style cheese (Red Top). I was thrilled by the subtlety of the White Bugatti and will dream of the Red Top until I have it again. The Red Top has a crisp, glorious crust and was thick yet light and airy. The White Bugatti was reminiscent of a light pasta, scented with garlic and lemon. I mean that in the most positive way I don't live close, but plan to frequent this spot, especially once they start serving beer. Awesome pizza, super clean, and friendly professional staff/owners. Five stars from start to finish! read more

Had the red top, now considering moving to Watonsville to stay close to it.... I only regret not getting 2!

Good place recommend spendin it with friends it's a real vibe here such good thin pizza it be buzzin

This place must be going through growing pains. Two salads listed on the menu but they don't have them yet (?). They focus on quick, by the slice pizza and a soda fountain. We had the Detroit Lil Pep deep dish pizza....it was outstanding. Delicious sauce, abundant mozzarella, and flavorful pepperoni. Next time we'll do a pizza togo. read more

Pizza is great but the restaurant itself is cold and uninviting. I'd come here for takeout or a quick bite, but wouldn't consider this a sit down pizza parlor. read more

Can't wait for them to start serving some local beers I also got hooked up with a combo slice I guess it was cut wrong but hey it was free ! Haha thanks ! read more

Ordered half cheese/half pepperoni pizza, and a half supreme/half veggie for takeout and it was delicious. Added some Mike's Hot Honey that they had there for sale. It was a key pickup. Not a slice was left behind. The guys at the shop were fantastic -- excellent service! I'd go back in a heartbeat! read more
