This is easily one of the worst pizza spots I've been to. The prices are high, and the service is…read moreeven worse. I've been here twice, and both experiences were disappointing. The first time, I asked if I could add olives to my slice. The employee seemed confused and didn't understand me, even after I repeated myself. I eventually said it in Spanish ("aceitunas"), and he finally understood. However, when I got my slice, it didn't have olives at all it was just drenched in olive oil instead. The second time wasn't any better. I asked if it would be cheaper to order a whole pizza instead of slices, and the employee responded rudely, telling me to look at the menu since "the prices are right there." Between the poor communication, lack of attention to orders, and rude service, I won't be coming back.

The quality of ingredients, combinations of flavors, and incredible dough all make for an incredible. Like the Cheeseboard in Berkeley, it's a new twist that ends up being its own thing and transcending the dish. I especially like the mushroom varieties. I've been going to Bookie's and Sante Adairius for years. I'm not super into SA's special beers but they always have something I love. The atmosphere is wonderful. Regarding the attitude of Bookie and the staff--they're down to business. Serious about their craft. I kind of love it. (And Bookie/Todd Parker was a chef at Manresa that was conferred three Michelin stars.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manresa_(restaurant)

When the pizza was served a bit on the cool side, the waiter heated it up and improved it a good thirty percent.

Had dinner here today with friends who wanted to check out my son's newish town (first year at…read moreUCSC).... Pros- flavors of each dish were quite tasty. We had six people in total and all together ordered the short rib ravioli, seafood stew, spaghetti and meatballs, roasted beets, French onion soup, potatoes with dip, a salad and a pizza. My favorite bite was the lasagna. The top had nicely melted and crispy cheese... very good! I also enjoyed the crispy potatoes with dip. The French onion soup didn't have a lot of color, but it still had a very distinct and tasty flavor. Outside of the food, the restaurant has a great outdoor area that's dog friendly! There is also a nice sized private parking lot. Oh, and if you pay in cash, there's a discount! Cons- I was craving spaghetti and meatballs, it just sounded so good to me! This was I think it's the first time I've ever ordered it at a restaurant (usually make it at home!) while I thought the dish had good flavor, I felt the pasta was slightly overcooked. It was not al dente... the meatballs also didn't have a lot of color, so that was disappointing. The seafood stew a friend ordered was small. She said it was good, but we overheard someone at a different table say that the stew used to be huge and it currently is not... Coloring... typically color equals flavor, so it was odd that several dishes had little coloring, but they did still taste good! Some things I didn't care as much for, but we all enjoyed the flavors of each dish...

Big Sur, Maui Wowie, and Manresa are my favorites! Big Sur has pepperoni, sausage, portobello mushrooms, green onion, and huge chunks of roasted garlic. Maui Wowie is their take on a Hawaiian pizza.

Everything looked good and I am told their pizza is but I'm not confident I will know as the pizza keep going by our table and no pizza stops here. If I ever get it I will ad an addendum to this review. So far I'm leaning on not coming back here. Ambiance? My table is located where take out is. This is adding insult to injury as since we placed our orders which included a pizza for me more that 30 pizza boxes have passed by my table on their way out the door and several tables that placed orders after we placed our order have been served pizza. So ambiance around my table is sketchy at best. I'm not a happy camper. Ad to review: pizza arrived finally 1hour and 20 minutes after our order was placed. They actually bussed my parties plates before I began to eat my pizza. No sorry from the waiter or the staff that delivered the afterthought pizza pie.

The pasta was so soggy that teeth weren't required to eat it. There wasn't enough sauce, so the overcooked pasta was somehow a tad dry.
