Mrs. H
Nicole R.

Finally got over to Watsonville to try Ozzy's, I am very happy we did! The place has moto bike racing art all over and has actual bikes, super fun and very cool. The pizza's were unique, we had the Mrs. H we were debating the chicken piccata pizza, but my husband and I were sharing and he likes a more traditional pie. The Mrs. H was very good. The sauce had deep flavor and the topping seemed to be a good quality the crust was really good too. The service was Friendly and attentive.

Ozzy's Pizzeria delivers every time, and it's right here in the heart of Watsonville's pizza scene at 1036 East Lake Avenue. If you're ever in the area, you've got to stop by--you will not regret it. Grab a seat at the bar, soak in the vibe, and enjoy some of the greatest pizza around. Be reserved because the owner is a complete opposite of being nice. He gets things wrong and blame the customer. Be careful with them owner other than that. Great pizza. The Owner needs to come up with a better system. He was blaming us for taking somebody else's order because we couldn't hear the name Mike he's a big troublemaker.

The food is amazing, the staff is fantastic and the Cesar salad with anchovies is life changing. I can't recommend it enough.

Caesar Salad

Finally tried this place out and I'm so happy I did. We tried their pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad. Both were delicious! I didn't catch that the salad was not chopped, which I personally prefer. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The place looked clean and there is plenty of parking. Definitely recommend!

We were running errands out in Watsonville and found Ozzy's in the E Lake shopping center on a quiet, rainy Sunday. WOW! We were blown away. The ingredient combo's, the flavors, the portions, the staff-11/10. We lived in NY for a decade and travel as a flight attendant and this pizza was def the most memorable and a favorite

TOP 5 OF MY FAVORITE PIZZA PLACES!! Came here for lunch on a Friday and was seated immediately. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Very open and airy atmosphere with cool rustic decorations and trinkets on the walls. Got the Uncle G and Leah Lynn pizzas. Leah Lynn: Omg I still have dreams about this pizza. The creamy cheese is piped on beautifully in little puffs on the pizza. The star of the show was the orange zest. I've had peaches and apricots before on pizza but the orange zest was perfectly sprinkled on this pizza and paired well with the richness of the cheese. Uncle G: basically a salad on a pizza. Very refreshing slaw with a light dressing. It complemented the richer flavors of the Leah Lynn well. Very clean restaurant. Parking was easy as it's in a plaza with ample space

First time visiting on a Friday evening, and this place is truly a hidden gem! The pepperoni pizza and smoked wings were both a 10/10. The pizza had the perfect thin, crispy crust and was absolutely delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, and I'll definitely be back soon

The pizza was delicious In my opinion . I like the bike racing vibe. And the owner went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great thanks again Ozzy. We will be back when in the area again. Oh and the meatballs were top tier.

CHICKEN BOY, gluten free crust
Jamie F.

Wood-fired pizza located in a strip mall. They make their own sourdough crust, smoke their own chicken, make sauces in house, and they also have several items on the menu that are gluten free. We had the roasted jalapeño poppers (don't skip the bacon, worth the add), heirloom tomato salad (so fresh with a yummy balsamic glaze), and the "chicken boy" pizza with the gluten-free Detroit-style deep dish crust. It had smoked chicken, spicy peppers, pickled onions and house made bbq sauce. The kids had a regular crust with pepperoni (the cup pepperonis!). Everything was delicious. The server was friendly and Tim seemed like a manager/owner that really cared that things were quality. They were super knowledgeable about allergens in the food, just ask! We had a beer and a cider and were able to relax while we ate our tasty food. The decor is fun and there is a good amount of space for groups of all sizes. We ordered more food than we could eat but it was all so delicious...I have no regrets.

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

I almost drove right past this place because it's a true hole-in-the-wall, but once I saw the parking lot full of people I knew that was a good sign. Walked in and the place was lively, full of locals, old-school vibe, and the bartender was awesome. I was starving and ordered the steak, chicken and shrimp plate. Bro... that skirt steak was ridiculous. Everything tasted fresh, even the fries and coleslaw were way better than I expected. Big portions too, and they even throw in a little piece of chocolate cake which cracked me up, but somehow fit the whole vibe perfectly. The food was so good I came back the NEXT DAY for lunch and got the New York strip. I was still chasing that skirt steak from the night before but the NY strip was fire too. You can tell this place takes care of its regulars and actually cares about the quality of the food. No fancy BS, just good people, great food, big portions, and a legit local atmosphere. Anytime I'm back in Watsonville, Wooden Nickel is an automatic stop.

Crispy, perfectly thin cut chips with the seasoning powder. Fantastic! Bacon wrapped hot dog was alright, little over charred to burned on one side. But otherwise it was great. Jalapeños loaded fake cheese loaded nachos are just like they should be. Just simple but appropriate accompaniment with beers..

These are the questions I asked myself walking up to the front door to pick up my first order, which was... outrageously delicious.

And speaking of the afterlife, holy smokes, some of those homemade salsas are HOT. Totally worth the pain, though, as each one delivers a surprising balance of flavors. Long story short: if for some reason you haven't tried Ranch Milk and you're anywhere nearby, you should 100% give it a chance. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the atmosphere is surprisingly dope, the staff is super friendly, and hot dang, the food is good.

I bought snack food here in October 2017 on a morning break. I remember it because the woman behind the counter was really pushing me to return on my "next break". I think she even told me her name - like we were "friends now" and I "wouldn't let her down". Because it felt weird (when have I ever gone to a convenience store and gotten a high pressure type sale? It doesn't happen.) I specifically didn't return. Today I went again, but I nearly instantly regretted it. I took a photo of a strawberry candy flavored for online friends who grew up in Watsonville and miss the town and what it's known for (strawberries being one). I did it "for fun", but apparently taking a photo of it makes me some sort of a criminal. I was told not to take photos so I stopped. No biggie. But it didn't end there. The guy went *on and on* saying "if that is all you are here for I'm going to have to ask you to leave". Now he is pissing me off. DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS. ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO "ALL I WAS THERE FOR". What am I? In the liquor store business trying to rip off their ideas? No. I'm on BREAK looking for CHIPS. If I were in the same business? I would do a FAR better job. I guess he didnt believe me that I was there for food. I guess it was "suspect" that I looked at all the stuff they had for sale to eat. At this point since he wouldn't stop harassing me I said I would just leave. And I did. So now I'm standing in the parking lot thinking "where can I go buy chips?" The same guy (maybe 30, tall, muscular, dark complexion) was on a phone and followed me out. It was quite the production. I didn't need a food break that bad. Now he says he wants to see my badge hanging on my keys. HELL NO. I put my badge in my pocket. He is acting really weird and I don't want some freak knowing my name. Call the police and have THEM look at my badge. I'm good with that. Him? No. He said he was on the phone with his boss (that should be reserved for a crime, just sayin.). Maybe he was lying. Who TF knows. The guy is going on and on asking me WHY I would take a photo. I told him ***more than once*** why. People like to see and talk about their home town. He wasn't getting it. I love history and enjoy making people happy by showing them pictures of their gorgeous hometown with crops sprouting up around here, or anything unique to the area like strawberries and old Victorians. Its not a crime. Last week I told the same friends "Super Max Grocery" closed down a few doors away. Why the 3rd degree? Because I'm female? Just post a clear sign and none of this would have happened. Because he was acting like I was here to rip off his "marketing strategy" (it just looked like your typical Hispanic liquor store), I made it CLEAR that my work has NOTHING to do with the grocery/liquor store business, I am not "moving in next door and trying to compete with their business". I just wanted some damn chips and a drink. I actually had to SAY this to him. Are you kidding me? Now he asks me to delete the photos in my phone and he wants to watch me do it. I deleted the photos AND DIDN'T LET HIM WATCH. I don't want a guy like him THAT close to me complete with the attitude of "I'm going to have ask you to leave". He was still going on and on. I told him !I JUST WANT LUNCH! Maybe he finally understood those words as he FINALLY left me alone. Had it gone on any longer you better believe I would have called 9-1-1. I guess now I can stand OUTSIDE and take a photo of the parking lot which has a strawberry on the sign which will make my friends happy. ..... I went to my amazing friends at Ace Hardware next door and got a chocolate milk, a Payday bar, and some hardware. I told my "friend" there what happened and he said "I'm not surprised." He said he had some sort of problem there also. He used the word subservient. There are lots of other liquor stores (ie: Manny at Aptos Village Liquors)- no need to give these people your money. He has the right to ask for no photos in his store, but he should ALSO have it clearly posted in the store to not take photos. He said there is a sign. I walked all over and didn't see ANY signs so he obviously didn't do a good enough job. I think that is a lie. I have never seen such a sign in that kind of store that sells Bud Light and Ding Dongs. His stance, insinuating that "all I'm there for was to take photos" (weird), getting on the phone, and wanting to see my badge was simply too much which IS my issue today. Keep walking. Seriously.
