I had an hour drive home from there so i MIGHT have eaten a square in the parking lot - the crunch, the flavors, all were soo soo good I drove fast to get home so I could have some more, I had a nice moment and shared with my hubs (he's not gluten free) and he asked for a 2nd piece, so you know it was good!

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.

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!

The pizza was AMAZING, the lady who rung us up was the owner, very kind lady I chose to write a review because I went in there with the idea that I was going to have a bad experience and everything was going to go wrong, I read a lot of the reviews before going in and had this image of what this place and service would be like I'm assuming they count the plates because there's no point in giving extra plates if they're just going to be thrown out, if you ask for an extra one there's no reason why they would say no She (the owner) looked like a first time owner to me and I know they like to be involved in their business, (looking around, staring, being demanding towards employees) not the best idea but come on, put yourself in her shoes Anyways, food was great!

After we paid we sat down to wait and I noticed that the cashier had a massive hickey on his neck which is completely unprofessional especially for a big pizza chain like this. After me and my family arrived back home with our pepperoni pizza, my daughter said she felt like she bit into something, she took it out and held it up and from afar I thought it was just a burn string of cheese, but as I came closer I noticed that it was a string, looked like it came from a bracelet. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. After seeing the assumed bracelet string come out of the pizza it is very clear that the hygiene level going on behind the scenes is being taken as a joke. This needs to be brought up with the team immediately or you can seriously get someone into a medical emergency with this. Never returning ever again. I do NOT recommend this location!!

3 months ago Went to this place feeling a bit uneasy. Only went because other pizza place (PizzaMia) didn't answer my call so I thought they were closed. We honestly loved this pizza , the place too it's super clean and organized. But going back to the pizza we got a combination and it's just so much better made. Veggies are very well chopped they put extra cheese. Just super delicious . Average wait for a pizza is 20 min. read more

The look of it evoked that feeling of a classic East Coast slice. I was impressed and getting nostalgic. But I will say that the taste and texture, while not bad, doesn't quite hit the heights of a real NY or even Boston pizza slice. They say the secret's in the water, that East Coast soft water makes a crust pliable, soft, bubbly, while still being crispy and retaining structure. This crust was a little too stiff, no bubbly flecks, and could have developed better flavor, from more salt. The cheese tasted mild, and could have also used a little more flavor. What's cool though, is they do have toppings like hot honey. You can grab a slice or order a whole pizza.
