This restaurant, however, hit the mark completely--it was an absolute culinary masterpiece! I stayed in the area for eight days, and I literally ate here every single day. That is how incredible it was. Over the course of my week-long streak, I managed to try almost everything on the menu, and every single dish was cooked to absolute perfection. You can taste the genuine quality, passion, and traditional Italian flavor in every bite. On top of the phenomenal food, the service was outstanding. The staff made me feel welcome, cared for, and right at home from day one. To top it all off, the prices are exceptionally reasonable for the incredible quality you receive. If you want real, high-quality Italian food, this is the place. I would come back here in a heartbeat and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Side caesar was decent but the free bread was super crumbly and went everywhere. Calamari and stuffed mushrooms were still tasty.

The best part was the owner's visits to the table. He would describe dishes that made you hungry. We ordered (at his recommendation) the eggplant parm, a fish dish and a shrimp scampi. The fish and shrimp were delicious but the eggplant that two of us ordered was not edible. The owner visited at the end of our meal where we shared the bad news about the eggplant dishes. He was very concerned that we had not had a good meal. He offered to cook up something else to make us happy. Of course we refused. He comped both of the eggplant dishes! He didn't have to do that but we appreciated it. Although this place was a disappointment, the owner's enthusiasm and commitment to great service and good food will bring us back for another try.

I definitely DO NOT recommend this restaurant. My family and I ordered pizzas and a sandwich with lots of ranch. (I Emphasized on wanting lots of ranch.) We received 2 small cups of Ranch... We ordered for delivery and the wait time was 45 minutes to an hour. (Our hotel was 1 mile away) The restaurant had called us twice and we missed their calls, as soon as we realized this we called back and they were extremely rude. The worker made sure that we knew to "answer your phone if your delivery driver calls again!" In a very rude manner. So shortly after we went to the lobby and he called again he started yelling over the phone "I don't see anyone in the lobby are you SURE you know where you are?" I was taken back. He continues to yell "MA'AM ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?!" Then I explain I know where I'm at and he sees us and starts to calm down. He then hangs the phone up and comes in with our food. He gave us incorrect change before he left in a hurry. The food was decent but for what my family and I had to deal with it was overall not worth it. I do NOT recommend because of the unfriendly staff. Only giving one star because you have to give some sort of rating to submit the review. It's a 0 out of 5 for me personally. read more

Ordered 2 large pizza's and a sandwich. The food was okay, I've definetly had better. The lady on the phone was pretty rude. Ordered it for delivery and the delivery driver was terribly rude and needs to understand the importance of the customer. My experience with UCP wasn't pleasant. I wouldn't recommend delivery, never been inside the establishment at all so I'm not sure how the service would be but since the lady on the phone was pretty rude and delivery driver was I'm sure it would be about the same all around. I'd recommend going somewhere else besides here. Management, have a meeting with your employees and express the importance of keeping the customer happy and how customers are the reason you stay in business. I'd probably get a new delivery driver as well... read more

Does Ultimate California Pizza support white race hate? Friday evening, Aug 06, 2021 I was with my date at the Ultimate California Pizza, Market Commons, Myrtle Beach SC. When a black woman wearing a black Panthers, T-shirt walked in. This was not about the movie of a similar name. This t-shirt represented the race hating group. Then the woman went in the back, changed shirts and was waiting tables. I'm white so I was put off thinking my pizza could have been spit on or some other atrocity, while being prepared. Does UCP really support race hating groups? Why else would they allow employees to wear race hate clothing to work, in front of customers. read more

We were all very disappointed. The menu made the pizzas sound like something really special but they were not even ordinary. I ordered the white pizza and it could not have had even half of the cheeses on it they said it would and it was too brown and ruined what cheeses were on it. If you like pizza like I do don't bother going to this place. Stick with a place you know for the price. read more

When I brought up the discrepancy and asked about honoring the prices advertised on their own website, the response I received was simply, "Do you want to order or not?" That is an unacceptable way to handle a legitimate customer concern. Customers should be able to rely on pricing that a business chooses to publish on its official website. If those prices are outdated, update the website. Until then, management should take responsibility for the information it is advertising rather than dismissing customers who question it. I have submitted a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding the advertised pricing and the discrepancy I encountered. Regardless of how that complaint is ultimately handled, this restaurant needs to correct its online menu immediately and address how customers are treated when they raise reasonable concerns about advertised prices.
