The pizza place overcharged me.... I was dissatisfied and have not chewed on the owner or the server yet! Good pizza ....beer selection needs updating.... read more

This spot was across the street from the hotel we were staying and we did a pick up order. Service was great and the food even better! We really enjoyed the wings & Gio pizza (with no sriracha). (Review from early March 2020) read more

I still give these guys 5 Star for quality, flavor and service. Tonight got a medium combo of salami, pepperoni, garlic, mushroom and olive. Pic below. The sauce is a kid-friendly slightly sweet Italian flavor which seemed different than I remember but still excellent and the crust made it great to eat dinner, drink a beer and watch the sunset from the comfort of our hotel room. It doesn't get much better than this. read more

We ordered a medium Western - Deeeelish! The cashews are a brilliant addition to this bbq style pizza. There was enough for 2 meals for 2, but it was really tempting to stuff ourselves :D Staff is friendly and and helpful - and doing their best! This place is super popular, so order and pay ahead (add a tip - let's keep them going!) and pick up is pretty easy. Otherwise, there is only one person allowed inside at a time and the wait can be long. read more

I actually wasn't able to get anything here due to allergies and restrictions, but wanted to leave a review for how kind the customer service was. My friends and I were on a road trip and there were no options for miles for some of us and the guy here went above and beyond to accommodate us and was super patient! My friends got a pizza and said it was delicious as well! read more

Super tasty pizza! We had the combination and a simple cheese. The sauce is very good and is reminiscent of the classic "parlor" style with a great crust and spicy sauce. Highly recommended! read more

We've stopped by to grab some take out pizza. We love their combo pizza (with added pineapple). Very delicious and quick too.

Upon a recent visit and with new ownership, I'm dismayed at the quality of what this place has become in 3 years since I last visited.The lack of service is and the loss of former partner Mark, a very gregarious host is to be missed. Not the quality that I previously received! read more

I really thought we were going to get a good pizza. However, the guy working with the dough made it so tuff the crust is like biting and chewing shoe leather. Not a good pizza at all. Have had gastric upset and the . Buy when it's Tuesdays on the coast, I guess you have to take what you can get.. But I would avoid this place. read more

4.5 stars. Vegetarian was good. Meat lovers was very good. Fresh basil on the margarita was just right. Nice folks working there. We went on a quiet Monday night and ate there as pizza is always best right from the oven. Ambience is bare bones. Could use some music to warm the place up. Definitely will go back. read more

Awesome pizza and amazing service. We were visiting from out of town, excited to check out this pizza place we found on Yelp. The staff was so friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Pizza was ready faster than they promised and was SO good! We would definitely return. read more

Solid, solid pizza spot. We had a medium pie and a side of Buffalo wings. Everything was hot and fresh and the staff was incredibly friendly! Great spot to check out if you are in the Gualala area. read more

Pizza was about average, but it is a nice option for travelers passing through or staying a night in a small town

The best pizza and chicken wing around. Very good service! It is nice to be able to order while driving up the coast. When we arrive our order is ready for pick up. read more

We stopped by this pizzeria on the way down the coast and grabbed a chicken pesto pizza to split. It was DELICIOUS! Unpretentious, just simple, tasty pizza. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Really wish I had the four and a half star experience that everyone else had. The pizza is quite good, hence 2 stars instead of an angry 1. Unfortunately the task of taking a four-pizza order over the telephone and accurately fulfilling it was too daunting for the restaurant on this particular evening. We were looking forward to trying the place out but our optimism rapidly dwindled when the woman who took our order on the phone seemed extremely confused and overwhelmed by our order. She kept forgetting what pizzas and toppings we had ordered mere seconds before. Honestly I'm not trying to be a jerk but she sounded pretty baked. Who knows. Anyway when a few members of our party went to get the pizza, they tried to check the order at the counter to make sure everything was accurate but the girl working the register (pretty sure it was the same person who took the order) impatiently said she needed to serve the person behind us and basically shooed us out of the way. Well what do you know, they got back to the house and the order was wrong. We called and asked for a replacement pizza or a refund and they said we could only get either of those outcomes if we drove back down to the pizza place. Who wants to get up and drive back to the restaurant once we've all sat down for dinner? So we paid for a pizza that we didn't want and one of the members of our party didn't have any pizza that they could eat. It sucked, and the restaurant was not apologetic or accommodating at all. read more

Supringfly good pizza from this small place location on Hwy 1, north of Sea Ranch. When I'm in the need for something quick, delicious and really good, this is where I go. If you are in Sea Ranch and call in your order, by the time you drive up there it's about ready. You can take it away or eat inside although there aren't too many tables. Youngish staff are always super nice and polite and hustle - nobody is sitting idle in that place! It would be a solid place outside of Gualala, too so it's not one of those "only choice" disappointments. read more

I used to work in an authentic Italian Restaurant. The mother dough (sourdough) was over 50 years old, everything was made from fresh ingredients. Daaaaaaang you guys took me back, pizza was great, worth the wait. I do not have enough for a tip, but I bought 2 pizzas instead of one to make up for it!! And will be spreading the word about this little gem. I grabbed a couple of paper menus to bring back to my friends (she owns a rental at Sea Ranch), I'm no influencer, but need to do my part to keep this wonder spot on the top of the list. YUM!! read more

Fabulous pizza. Cute and comfortable pizzeria that offers exquisite style pizza. I ordered a veggie pesto pizza with a thin crust and it was done to perfection. Friendly and inviting staff! read more

We drove for about an hour trying to find a restaurant that was open on our vacation and found Upper Crust Pizzeria in Galala. I have to admit I was not excited cuz I'm really picky about my pizza and so is my boyfriend. I ordered thin crust, white sauce, chicken, pepperoni, bacon, onion, garlic,basil, and anchovies and it was the best pizza I think I've ever had and the crust was amazing. Taylor the chef rates a 10 in my book and Curt was the one who took my order correctly. My boyfriend ordered a combination and said it was the best pizza he's ever had and he never compliments anything especially pizza. I'd definitely eat there again. read more

One of my favorite pizza places. I dream about their pizza and make a special trip to come out here every year. Big fan of their no red sauce pizzas. We've gone to many places around the world and for some reason, this is my favorite pizza place. It must be their dough. read more

Great place - good food, very friendly and efficient service. Highly recommend and would drive out of my way to return.

Best pizza in the area for miles! Veggie Pesto Pizza was off the hook. Definitely making this my go to spot when staying or passing through town. Staff are friendly and speedy. We found out it was actually a local favorite and the place was packed when it came time to pickup our order! The place is small, but also has some outdoor seating. We took ours to our hotel. Highly recommend! read more

Oh, Lord! Have they gone downhill! So, we've been living in Gualala 4 1/2 years. I've been getting most of my pizzas from Gualala Pizza, where they also make pretty good Mexican cuisine, and sandwiches as well. Only problem is with their restricted hours of operation, and that's when we've gone with Upper Crust, which is open till 8 p.m. My roomie & I wanted different toppings, so we ordered two mediums. Sorry to say, the crusts on both pies was tough, as though the dough had been "overworked", and both had also been overbaked, so the toppings were problematic as well (the ham on her Hawaiian was like overcooked bacon). I called in after our first slice to alert them to the situation, so hopefully they will pursue some quality control measures after this. But -- I'm sorry to say -- after wasting our appetites (and 45 bucks) I won't be a returning customer after this.... read more

Delicious pizza, friendly staff, fast turn around time, highly recommended! You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Gualala is one of my favorite vacation spots and I eat at Upper Crust every time I'm in town. They do a sourdough crust which is thinner than other crust styles but what you lose in fluffiness you'll make up for in tart, tangy bite. I recommend the vegetarian pesto which has amazing fresh tomato and basil. Me and my partner always polish off 70% of a large between the two of us even if we say we're going to save some for later. read more

Wow! Staying in Gualala for a short COVID compliant vacation and wanted something simple for dinner after a long drive. Ordered a few different pies and we were disappointed by none of them. Their crust is thin, fluffy, chewy and crusty all at the same time. Some of the best crust that I've ever had... really, it's that good. Had the Gio which was delightfully spicy along with a chicken pesto and a custom pie. Toppings were plentiful, fresh and tasty. Easy pickup to minimize risk along with super friendly service. read more

Excellent pizza. Some of the best I've had! Half pepperoni and half Bonita (pepperoni, sausage, tomatoes, olives, onion, bell pepper, pineapple) and caesar salad to go. Truly excellent pizza - we should have ordered more for leftovers. Thin crispy and very delicious!! read more

Good try Upper Crust, but our crust was tough and dry. The pesto sauce was near non-existent in both quantity and flavor. Fresh basil topping put in oven and turned brown and crispy. Will not try again! read more

Adequate pizza. If you are in Gualala and need a pizza, this place will sell you one. But I'm afraid that's about all I can say about the experience. We had 1 slice each and decides that the previous night's leftovers weren't looking too back adterall. read more

Five star pizza. Five star CHEESE. Cool people behind the counter. Luckily we came in before a long line. Took a box back to the hotel and the Medium size is good for 2 people. $20 the the pizza with 4 toppings. Worth it. There is a refrigerator with drinks, 1 restroom at the back corner, tables outside and they supply paper plates to go. read more

We needed a pizza takeout for dinner, and Upper Crust served just what we wanted...fresh ingredients (tomato, mushroom, andMarghuerita pizzas).::All five of us were satisfied and full. read more

First found some hair on my pizza so that was gross. Staff seemed to be having a bad day. The pizza was average but might be the best you can get around here. Dough tastes like one of the premade frozen things. It's pretty much one step up from frozen pie. All I had was pizza so I'm guessing the other food inflated the review. read more

Called in on a Tuesday 630pm for a Small pizza, 6pc wings and a Cesar salad for $35... pick up time was 740! I get it that it's a small town and only 1 of 2 pizza places in town but I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, so we waited. When I came for pick up they forgot the wings and salad with the order. They seemed busy inside with making the food but were still friendly. After tipping $10.. the pizza was good, thin crust, but they also forgot an ingredient on the pizza (jalapeño on their spicy Hawaiian).. Wings were dry and salty. I wanted to give the place the benefit of the doubt but needs a fair amount of improvement overall. read more

Absolutely excellent Pizza. Some of best I have had anywhere. I either call my order in before I drive to town, or I order and then go shopping a Surf Market while the make it. Not cheap the the quality is outstanding. read more

Delicious pizza and salad. Very fast too. Spicy Hawaiian is my fave! Yummy crust! Always look forward to it when visiting.

I'm not really familiar with the area and had zero reception so I couldn't browse around online to see what sounded good, but before I left for my trip my mom, who visits sea ranch frequently with my dad, had mentioned on more than one occasion that there's a really good pizza place in Gualala. I didn't have any strong feelings on anywhere else to go, so I figured why not, can't go wrong with pizza. I am so glad I did!! This was one of the tastiest pizzas I've ever had! The crust was perfect. The red sauce was yummy and just the perfect amount (I hate it when pizza is too saucy). The sausage was super tasty, too. I ate here the night before I left and secretly wished they were open earlier so I could get another to eat in the car on the drive home, haha! Staff was friendly, too. Mom did not steer me wrong! read more

Pizza with a crisp crust and a variety of toppings. We had a California (fresh tomato, feta, garlic, parsley, no sauce) - delicious! Good cheese makes the pizza! I would feel good about bringing my kids here - kid friendly and traditional pizza toppings - not just the fancy pizzas. Dining in or at outdoor picnic tables - don't miss the quick trail walk overlooking the Gualala River just across the street while your pizza cooks. (Tip: call ahead to order if you want to eat in!) read more

Best pizza on the coast. Dough is homemade and they are super flexible with toppings. If you show up early, enjoy a beer on the deck or picnic tables! read more
