    $30 large cardboard-like gluten free cheese pizza
    Susan D.

    Because not every place offers gluten-free options, we tried Straw Hat when some friends were in town (their daughter has to eat gluten-free). Unfortunately, the pizza was not what we hoped it would be. Yelpers kinda failed me here! LoL I'd read another review that said the gluten-free pizza at this location was good so I ordered a large cheese pizza. I went and picked it up but didn't pop open the box while I was there. When I got home... I was kinda embarrassed to offer this nearly burnt, crunchy, cardboard pizza to my guests. I thought $30 for a large cheese should guarantee quality but it was cardboardy, overcooked, and so thin... not substantial enough to feed a few kids. Next time, my friends said we should just buy a few frozen gluten-free pizzas like they normally do. Because of their good customer service and many great reviews, however, I'm sure I'll go back and try their other offerings. Might see ya there.

    No artichoke.  Crust is terrible.

    The worst pizza I've ever had and not great customer service. We ordered a classic vegie pizza plus zucchini. It had zucchini but no artichoke which its supposed to have. The toppings were added with no care at all; part was heavy on toppings other parts not so much. The worst part is that the crust was like some kind of flavorless unleavened cracker. I am positive it was the gluten free that we did not order. I called and was connected to the guy who made the pizza. "I assure you that is our regular crust". I've had Straw Hat before and this is not that. He offered to make another small pizza, though we ordered a large and he said the crust would be the same. We opted to not take another and not reorder from this location. The pie is in the compost bin now.

    Hands down, straw hat on freedom always comes through!!! We just finished a local basketball game and the store closes at 9pm. I called at 8:56pm and Joe still took my order for pick up and my family is fed!! 5 in my opinion, the owner (Kami) is always willing to help the community out and she has a top-notch staff with killer customer service.

    Vegan Classic Veggie Pizza

    If you DoorDash order there are no substitutions so call! We got a vegan veggie (they have vegan cheese for 3.00 more) and an individual Watsonville Mexi- Pizza w/o Jalapeños. Both orders had the ingredients well spread throughout the pizza so you got something in every bite. The order was ready before time and the guys in the store could not have been any nicer. They also deliver to KOA camp if you find that you don't want to leave lol. We were coming back from a day trip so picked up our order on the way back. Highly recommend!

    To quote The Rock "If you're going to have a cheat day, make it EPIC you've earned it"…read more A staple to the community of Watsonville, I absolutely love what they are doing here. The owners are so nice. Watsonville has no shortage of great food, but the slice project remains ONE of my favorite places to grab a slice of pizza in the area. The slices are generous, before I became a health conscience junkie I would eat about 4 slices by myself (those days are far behind me) but every once in awhile I will have a slice of pizza in moderation. Their crust is thin, blistered from the wood-fired oven, just the right balance of chew and crispiness. The toppings are creative without trying too hard, and every ingredient taste high quality. What I love most is that they don't overload the pizza. Their crust combinations are thoughtful, letting each ingredient shine instead of burying everything under a mountain of random stuff. I always ask for gluten free crust, you have to call in advance so they can prepare it, my favorite is the Lil' Pep. The atmosphere is casual, energetic and perfectly located. Whether you are a local or visiting from out of town, this is ONE of the spots that consistently lives up to its reputation. I don't come here as much as I used to, but everyone once in a while is good enough for me. - thank you for the hospitality and keep up the good work

    THIS PIZZA SAVED MY MARRIAGE!!!! I don't usually leave…read morereviews, but Pizza Mia in Watsonville deserves full credit for saving my marriage. Last Friday, my spouse and I were deep in one of those "we are absolutely not speaking ever again" arguments. You know, the kind where someone brings up something from 2017 and suddenly it's a documentary series. Anyway, in a moment of desperation (and hunger), I ordered a large pizza from Pizza Mia. When it arrived, we both tried to stay mad... but then we opened the box. The smell alone forced a temporary ceasefire. One slice turned into two, then three, and before we knew it, we were arguing again--but this time about who got the last slice. Somewhere between the pepperoni and the cheese pull, we started laughing. By the time the box was empty, so was the argument. So yeah--marriage counseling is great and all, but have you tried Pizza Mia? 10/10 would emotionally reconcile again.

    Growing up in Watsonville, Pizza Mia was the quintessential spot for a quick, satisfying slice, a…read moreconcept that feels rare these days. Returning after more than a decade, I was eager to see if it lived up to my memories, and it absolutely did. The pizza remains consistently good, the crust is thin but not too thin, with a soft, fluffy interior and a satisfying crisp. The sauce is the real standout, it's light, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced, complementing every bite. It is simple, unpretentious, and exactly what you hope for from a neighborhood pizzeria. Service is fast, and the pricing is fair. I had three slices of pepperoni pizza and three water bottles for $13.81. What struck me most is how Pizza Mia manages to deliver both nostalgia and quality, proving that some local favorites are timeless. The only downside is that I noticed the seating area is now closed, which is a bummer as that was a place to sit, eat, and enjoy your pizza and maybe play an arcade game. For anyone in Watsonville craving a classic slice done right, this is a must visit!
