Very fast and the pizza was great. I ordered only 20 minutes from closing time (8 PM) and they still let me order and pick it up, which kept me from going hungry because everything closes in Gualala at 8:00 PM, including the grocery stores. read more

Solid pizza spot located in Gualala, def worth trying if you are visiting. If you can, I'd recommend calling in advance then picking up your order as they get busy. But sometimes it's hard to get your call to go through as they get busy (especially on holiday weekends and dinners) so you might have to plan to just drive up, order, then go back at quoted time for pick up (or just wait for dine in). They don't skimp out on toppings and the crust is crunchy and on the thicker side. read more

Upper Crust Pizzeria - House Combo (top) & Hawaiian (bottom) - Pizza Near Me - Gualala, California

We have been packing and moving from our rental to our new home in The Sea Ranch and given the chaos and holidays coming up we just wanted something quick and easy on a week night before Thanksgiving. We haven't ordered a pizza from these folks in a while so we dialed up a large cheese with mushrooms and sausage and weren't disappointed. Solid effort once again. Worth trying and glad we have a decent pizza joint in the area. Well done !! read more

Upper Crust Pizzeria - A large sausage and mushroom pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gualala, California

No frills pizza place. Not bad! Hot and crispy! I had thin crust Hawaiian. I would def order it again. My husband had the wings which he says were excellent. Not much room to eat inside so we got it to-go and ate it at our hotel. Only pizza place in town but it was over all very good. read more

Sorry I don't have pictures, we were starving and gobbled up our pizza b4 the thought occured to snap a shot. This pizza joint is right in town. There is a couple of tables inside and picnic tables outside for dining in. We did takeout for our order. The pizza was piping hot when we received it and the order was correct. I got the western combo and my hubs got the margarita. Both were pretty yummy. The missing star is for the crust. It was soft and the underside was limp. Flavors were on point but it just was difficult to eat without a plate and fork. read more

Awesome spot! We wandered over from the hotel and ordered; there was about an hour wait. But they had beer on tap and a nice table outside so really, what's the problem with that? The pizza was yummy and the staff were friendly! Will definitely come back the next time we visit Gualala. read more

I've visited Sea Ranch the past two times and have stopped here both times. The pizza is delicious! I get the pepperoni with kalamata olives. I love that they have these types of olives available, as many places just carry the black olives which I'm not a fan of. The crust is crunchy but still soft. This past weekend when I stopped by, I placed an order in person and waited maybe 15 minutes outside while watching the sunset over the ocean. All the seats inside were full and they were doing a ton of takeout orders. I'm glad this place is doing well business wise! Little gem of a pizza place to keep in Sea Ranch. read more

Pizza ready for pickup in 15 minutes. Called in an order for pickup on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30pm and the pizza was hot out of the oven and ready for me by 3:45pm! The best comfort food for a lazy weekend! We ordered a large Mendocino pizza ($38 without tip) to-go. The staff were friendly and had our pie waiting for us upon arrival. We are not a fan of red-sauce pizzas, and Upper Crust Pizzeria offers a number of sauceless specials. The Mendocino has tomatoes, garlic, chicken, artichoke hearts, fresh cut basil, and mozzarella. I recommend ordering a side of ranch to dip your crust (if you're into that)! Definitely a great spot for those days you don't want to cook ;) read more

Upper Crust Pizzeria - Large Mendocino pizza to-go ($38) - Pizza Near Me - Gualala, California

Came in on a Saturday around 7pm. The restaurant is quaint and looks like it's family owned. We ordered the house combo size medium. (32$) The employee at the register was fast and efficient. She told us it would be about 30minutes for our pizza. There were many customers coming in to pickup their orders. It was very busy : ) Our pizza was ready as promised. It was piping hot and had a lot of toppings. Just as good as I remembered. Thank you : ) read more

Upper Crust Pizzeria - Meat lovers pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gualala, California

Delicious pizza. Great wings. Cold beer. Friendly staff. Friendly locals inside! Will definitely order again.

Our first night in Gualala means a trip to town for Upper Crust Pizzeria and Surf Market for groceries! Upper Crust pizza is delicious - you call to place an order, within 20-25 minutes our order was ready! This last time I did a Caesar salad too, fresh crisp lettuce - it was great. Inside of restaurant is on small size - just a few tables, but we were getting it to go anyway, but you could easily hang out and enjoy your pizza! I don't know what magic is in their sauce, but its really fresh, ingredients are plentiful and again, very fresh tasting! Cannot wait for our return in a few months! read more

Great food. Amazing and super friendly service. Racer 5 on tap! It's a comfortable small shop that is always busy. Favorite of locals and tourists both. read more

Gotta say we are visiting the area. Saw this place and stopped for dinner. They close at 8pm like most places around here. The food is fresh and maybe my wife and I were really hungry but we loved their house combo pizza... it was perfect. The service was quick at 30 minutes for the pizza and chicken wings... they have seating outside and inside. The ladies that were doing the cooking and preparing were really nice ... the place is nice... read more

Get the thin crust! Soooo good! Also note that there can be an hour or more wait for a pizza on a Saturday night. We called ahead. read more

Upper Crust Pizzeria - Veggie pesto - Pizza Near Me - Gualala, California

This place is busy for a reason. The service was great and the pizza was delicious. We picked pizza up twice during our stay in Gualala, and both times we enjoyed both our experience as well as the food. We got the Veggie Pesto pizza both times and it was tasty both times. We are every last slice. The variety of pizzas was great. Lots of both meat and vegetarian options. Everyone behind the counter seemed to be working hard but having a good time. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through Gualala! read more

This place is amazing! I am very picky and they accommodated my request, the crust was amazing and and the toppings were delicious, give it a try and you will be surprised, read more

Awesome pizza. Ordered for takeout their specialty pizza called " House Combo" It was great. Would show a picture , but it was so good we ate all. Great choice. Take out is fast and always on time. For the many years we have come to Sea Ranch this place is a standard for us. You can't go wrong with choices here. Good selection of beverages as well. read more

Service was great and the pours of Chardonnay were muah! Chefs kiss The pizza was delicious. We honestly weren't expecting it to taste so good but wow. I forgot what it was but it was a specialty pizza pretty much all meat pizza. We also ordered wings and asked that they be extra Krispy so they came out late, like after we ate pizza late but we did ask extra krispy soooo..... There is indoor seating, very minimal tho, but 2 benches outside. We went on a beautiful day so it was actually nicer outside than inside. read more

Nice little pizza shop in Gualala. Take out or eat in only. Pizza is tasty. Quick service. Takes about 20 minutes from ordering to pick up. They have wings too but they were out. read more

I love this place. No frills, great pie and a few good beers on tap. Nice, personable staff. I like to order and grab a beer while I wait if I'm doing take out. If the pizza is done before I'm finished. They will put in on top of the oven until I'm ready. read more

We visit Gualala a couple of times a year and there's nothing better than an Upper Crust Pizzaria pizza after a hike along the coast. Excellent customer service, excellent pie, abundant toppings, crunchy/ chewy crust. I am eating a leftover piece from our weekend right now and cannot wait to get back! read more

Great pizzas, creative options, and always customizable. Easy to find, small sitting area inside and picnic tables outside. Solid service working hard. Give them a try. read more

Delicious pizza!!!! The staff was funny & efficient. The pizza was really good - lots of variety to choose from made our family happy. Thank you! read more

This spot was a perfect and random location on Highway one as we drove north to Mendocino. We got there right as it opened and were greeted really warmly by the staff. My husband opted for meat lovers, and I had the Mendocino. My husband really liked his and I absolutely adored mine since I don't eat red sauce. We sat at a table inside while we waited and watched amazing sets of waves roll into Gualala. A very picturesque and delicious way to start a weekend away. read more

My family and I stay in The Sea Ranch once a year and always look forward to ordering our pizza from Upper Crust Pizzeria in the neighboring town of Gualala. However this year was kind of a bummer. We ordered 2 large pizzas, one with ham, pineapple and bacon and another large with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and jalapeño. There was a generous amount of toppings, however the crust on both pizzas was overly thin and tough and there was very little cheese and red sauce on both pies, resulting in disappointingly dry pizzas. While not totally terrible, not that great either for 2 large 3-4 topping pizzas at $60. Especially with how good Upper Crust used to be. Won't deter us from coming back next year, but still hoping it'll be better next time. read more

Fantastic little pizza spot, and a nice change from the home cooking we did for most of our vacation. Called in our order and it was ready right on time, and was super delicious. As someone who cannot digest garlic I appreciated the variety of menu options that didn't have any on it as a baseline, the olive oil bases options, and the willingness to let us modify. It's been 2 months since we ate this pizza, and we're still thinking about it! read more

OMFG. Sat eve. Ordered at the counter - Racer 5 for the wait. 20 mins later, my med house combo to go order was ready. Strolled back over to the hotel. Very good pie! Put LO half+1 into the ice bucket bag and put it in the fridge for left over for breakfast. Cozy inside seating and 2 patios. DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK. read more

Good pizza, friendly service, fun to watch the almost-silent yet very efficient teamwork of the five staff members in a relatively small space. Wine by the glass, bottled beer and soda (maybe juices too?) in a serve-yourself case, but no ice which was a little disappointing. Was this the best pizza I've ever had? No. But it was cooked well, had flavorful crust (I ate it, which says a lot as I usually stop eating at the edge when I run out of toppings), and a decent amount of pepperoni. A few two-or three person indoor tables inside, picnic tables outside, and attentive service on a Friday night. I prefer a bit more cheese on my pizza but it was good, and was highly recommended in multiple locations. Good vacation pizza. Go here. read more

We love coming here every time we're in town. The pizzas are consistently great, and cooked properly. You can call in your order ahead, or if you order there, expect about a 20-30min wait cause they make them fresh. There is nice seating inside and outside to pick from, or take it to go. The staff is always friendly and when we needed no cheese on half of one of our pizzas, they did it with no issues. Every time we come, we try a different pizza and have loved them all so far! read more

These guys know what they are doing. A small establishment and only 4 people working. They were working together like an well oil machine. From cutting the dough to rolling and forming the pizza crust to adding topping to sticking in the oven and they were on point to estimate how long the wait was for the pizza.Ended up getting a Margherita and the house Combo pizza. It was delicious and yummy. Even the pickiest kid enjoyed themselves. Even though it's the only pizza place in Gualala, it's a must to come and enjoy the pizza. read more

Went here yesterday on a road trip up north. Best pizza I have ever had and I eat a lot of pizza. The thickness of the dough was perfect and the flavor was awesome. Between three of us we wished we would have ordered a bigger pizza because we all liked it so much. Customer service was very good as well. Cold beers and a good view made it even better. read more

Great pizza and fast service. Whenever we pick up our pizza it's always hot and delicious. Ranch is so worth it as well.

It is very nice and clean inside and the staff were so nice! We took our pizza to go but noticed that they have wonderful outdoor seating that are dog friendly!

Upper Crust Pizzeria - Go big or go home! This is a large House Special - Pizza Near Me - Gualala, California

Location: right outside "surf" supermarket and next to gualala hotel and gualala regional park entrance. U can park at surf pick up ur groceries while ur order is getting ready. Busy: they r super busy snd close by 8 pm so make sure u either call them ahead of time n place an order for pick up (20-25 mins) or order first n then go for grocery while they make it for u. Entry: they allow one person to enter at a time so u got to wait outside for your turn. Food: we ordered medium pesto chicken pizza $25 (13 inch pizza) and loved it. It was filling and perfect n not too strong on pesto so it was a pleasant flavoring :) We called ahead and ordered to go. Zero hassle and yummy food. Definitely recommend #supportlocal read more

Upper crust is our favorite family movie night go to. The kids love it and so do we! The ranch here is the best.

The dough is thin and crispy. The toppings are generous. The red sauce is meh. It was just so bland that it marred my pizza experience. If you go the pizza route, try one of the specialty pizzas that don't have sauce. They are delightful. They tend to get busy, so order ahead or give yourself some extra time. If it's a pretty day take advantage of the picnic tables outside. read more

Great pizza, the crust is thin and chewy, and the staff is amazing. It is worth the drive
