We enjoyed our stop by Pizza My Heart! The pizza is a good portion size for a slice with the perfect crust (holds when folded) and of course great flavor overall (ordered the pesto and a special pizza at the time that had artichoke). It's a good place if you want something on the go and to take along on a nice walk to view the beach and those beautiful colorful homes along the shore. The workers were also so kind which I appreciated. read more

We walked from our hotel looking for a good pizza spot and ended up finding the perfect one. Pizza My Heart exceeded our expectations. The pizza was delicious and served hot, with a thin crust that made it even better. Service was fast, and the staff was friendly. We highly recommend it. read more

No frills just good pizza. Slices are reasonably priced with a lot of selection. Today I went for pepperoni but the vegetarian options are delicious as well. Grab your slice and head to the beachside benches to enjoy! Friendly staff and line goes by quickly read more

Paid $54 just for them to forget to give me 2 slices and I complained to them and they still didn't give me it. One extra point for the pizza being actually good. I wish the workers weren't so forgetful, I go crazy over my pizza. read more

Quick and easy and all nostalgia being the original location. Love the shirt selections here - always different from the rest. Often sold out or low in stock - luckily for us, sizes we wanted were available and each gets their own slice. Big sur, you're still my all time fave. read more

Awesome pizza. My family came to visit Capitola and take pictures of the beautiful beach and colorful houses nearby. Pizza My Heart caught our eyes as we were walking around. We ordered the following: Big Sur - it has been the two time world champion best pizza! So we had to try. Indeed there's a reason why it is a winner Maui Wowie - if you love Pineapple pizza / Hawaiian pizza, you Must order this. It's the best we've ever had. It was a Hit D'Lex Chicken and Bacon - for meat lovers What stood out to us has been the fact that the crust is thin and they cook the pizza right in the oven for you. If you ordered individual slices they should come out of the oven in 2-3 min. The staff know what they are doing. The pizza is great to eat while walking along the beach. There are no indoor seating, but plenty of benches and the whole beach to sit and eat. Our family stood outside, huddled around in a circle, and took turns taking a bite of each pizza. We loved it. Thank you all for your service and the food you make to feed people. God bless you! read more

There's nothing better than good pizza at the beach. This restaurant is a take-out only place but there are plenty of benches down the street for a quick bite with a view. I ordered a Maui Zowie pizza with Canadian Bacon and pineapple pieces, the thin crust pizza is crispy, so good. read more

Review #885 Posted on 5.23.25 We came to Capitola Beach on Saturday the 17th when in town for my daughter's flag football playoffs the next day. Stopping at Pizza My Heart is a must when you come to Capitola Beach. This place has been around for decades. I used to come here while in high school in the 90's during spring break & summertime. They've got the best thin pizza. It's closest thing to east coast pizza here in Northern California in my opinion. You can also get a slice with a t-shirt for under $10. You can also just grab a whole pie or slices to go. Love this spot. It's a 100% must when at Capitola beach. read more

Pretty delicious pizza- got three slices to-go, the smell of all the enticing pizza slices was just too much to pass by or just to order one. Got the big sur, little sur and a pineapple slice. The big sur definitely the favorite- packed with ingredients that just taste great together, audibly 'mmmm-ing' with every bite. Little sur pretty good too, the classic pineapple pizza is also delicious for all those fellow pineapple pizza lovers out there (it does belong on pizza!). Pizza slices are pretty big too so even one slice is pretty filling. There was a little bit of a wait in line- wait to heat the pizza, but very friendly service and pretty seamless: the pizza slices are in the display cabinet at the front so you can pick out the exact slice you want to order. Not bad for a pizza slice shop! read more

Ordered a Little Sur and a Big Sur slice and received a ROCK hard crust. Ate half of the Big Sur and couldn't take it anymore so we headed back to give our feedback. Manager responded with "that's normal and that can happen." He refused to credit us or give us a new slice. So, not only did our pizza crust suck but the customer service was even worse. Fyi, been patronizing this establishment for years!!! read more

Huge slices of tasty pizza. Bonus for unique offerings on the toppings. No indoor seating but there are plenty of outdoor spaces to post up and dig in. Shirt and a slice for $10 seems to be what most folks do here. I got a combo with ginormous slices of portobello mushrooms. So delicious. They pull off a slice you pick from the display and toss it into the oven for warming. Takes just a few minutes. Really tight inside during peak times. The staff were chill and friendly the day we visited. We've been to other locations and have had the same wonderful experience. The ambiance is pressure packed. Plan ahead and you'll have a great time. read more

Tasty pizza, my husband love it. He actually got a nice black shirt to go with it I try the pepperoni and the artichoke pizza and they are good. read more

I've always enjoyed sopping in for a slice or two, walking down and hanging out on one of the benches along the sidewalk. There's a cement ledge for my pizza and I simply enjoy the ocean waves and people watching. If you do this, do not leave your slice(s) unattended or the seagulls will swoop down and grab the whole slice! This pizza is decent, but quite greasy. Both the toppings and the crust will be saturated unless you order a full pie. Once the slices have sat out for a while and are then reheated, they will be super oily. But that's how it is and you gotta like that style of pizza. I'm the one who soaks up grease with a napkin before eating it. Still tastes good and I still keep coming back. read more

Beach Bites: Quick and Casual Pizza on Capitola's Coast Soaking up the sun at Capitola Beach can build up an appetite! On a recent sunny day, I found myself drawn in by the long lines at a local pizza place. Who can resist a good slice after a day at the beach, right? Pizza My Heart offers takeout only, with no seating inside. But the wait in line proved manageable, and the reward was a delicious (though not mind-blowing) pizza. I opted for their super veggie and pesto options, which offered a generous size and fresh ingredients at a very reasonable price. While it may not be a white-tablecloth kind of pizza experience, it's a perfect option for a casual beach bite. If you're looking for a quick, affordable pizza fix near Capitola Beach, this spot is definitely worth checking out! Just be prepared to grab your pizza to go and enjoy it by the ocean breeze. Pro Tip: Since I devoured my pizza a little too quickly to snap a picture, I recommend grabbing a napkin or beach towel to hold your slice while you enjoy the view! read more

Best pizza and cute store. The manager was amazing at describing pizza! Got a couple slices and sat on the beach and watched sunset!

Damn good pizza! I finally got the chance to try this place out, very small line. There is usually a line out the door. I got the Big Sur. Super fresh and the perfect amount of crisp. The sauce was just right. I wish I had gotten 2 slices. Service is just ok. Similar to what you would get at fast food with a bunch of college kids working. read more

I was driving from half moon bay to Carmel and got a hankering for pizza. I wasn't expecting much as it was just the first result my gps suggested and when i arrived i realized it is moreso a pizza stand than a restaurant. There's no seating inside, you walks through the door and you're basically in line at the counter. I got a slice of cheese with ranch, they put the slice in the oven because it had been sitting out so again, i had low expectations. But honestly the slice of cheese i got was exactly what i was craving, the flavor was perfect, it was thinner crust and it was a bit crunchy. Probably the best reheated slice of pizza I've ever had so congrats to Pizza My Heart in Capitola, keep being fucking amazing. read more

Very convenient and consistent pizza enjoy both takeout and dining can always find a quality craft beer with order

Didn't even make it inside the establishment and the staff was already treating us terribly. Didn't notice one door was for an exit before we walked through it we noticed. Apologized and proceeded to walk towards the entrance. The employee standing by the door (white young lady with brown hair and black glasses) proceeded to roll her eyes at us. Disgusting. read more

I was looking for a single slice of pizza to hold me over until dinner and this spot was a great place to do so after being at the beach. The pizza was crispy and flavors were all there. You can't go wrong with a classic pepperoni. Service was quick and staff were friendly. read more

This place always hits the spot! Nostalgic eating every time I visit Capitola. Too bad they don't offer the vegan pizza, it's popping up on the advertisement board but this location doesn't carry it. I ordered pepperoni and my son and GF shared a cheese slice since they didn't have the veggie option. I had to convince them to eat it after the person packing my pizza placed both slices on top of each other, told them only the crust touched not the meat lol, not sure why they would place a vegetarian order with a meat order together? But oh well, still slaps lol. read more

I love these people so much. Super nice and had genuine conversations with them. Tried the pesto pizza, and it was so very good. Gave me a shirt with my pizza, you HAVE to come here! read more

Pizzaaaa yes please, especially if it's a thin crust cheese pizza?!? Just to be fair, I did have lunch at Zelda's next door and was a bit hungry an hour or so later. I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt with that being said, I look forward to coming back and enjoying different slices other than just the cheese. I love pizza, thin crust, thick crust, cauliflower crust, California crust! But in this case, if I am to have thin crust pizza, I get a bit picky and request it crispy. Actually, I asked it to be extra crispy unfortunately when I got the pizza, it wasn't crispy but rather limp and burnt on the bottom. Whoever rolled out the crust must've made it hella thin. I'd love to come back and give them a second try, or consider opening another location in socal! Solid 3.5 =) Also this place is basically a walk up stand... no seats or anything so if you want to bring your pup you can enjoy your pizza standing up or there are many beautiful spots around downtown to enjoy this with your furry friend!

I remember in High School this girl had a Pizza My Heart t-shirt that I thought was cool, I never knew it was an actual restaurant at the time until more locations started popping up around the Bay Area. For $7 you get a T-shirt and a slice of pizza! Not a bad deal, and definitely great advertisement haha. I came here with my parents and we grabbed a few slices and enjoyed them on a bench near the water. This location is only a walk-up so there's no tables for dining. The pizza was bomb and we all enjoyed our food. Make sure to stop by this iconic Capitola spot when you're in town! read more

Delicious slices that you can enjoy right by the water - it can't be beat! My boyfriend and I stopped by to grab a couple of slices to enjoy in the breezy afternoon. We ordered a classic cheese and The Big Sur to share and walked a little way down to grab a bench right by the water. The cheese slice had the perfect ratio of sauce and cheese which is always appreciated. I enjoyed The Big Sur more since I'm a sucker for garlic on pizza and they definitely loaded that thing up with lots of toppings. The crust is thin and crispy but has enough integrity to hold up all the toppings without them sliding off. They have a T-shirt and slice combo that intrigued me. I will definitely snag that deal the next time I visit a branch. read more

Been going to pizza my heart for decades. Usually great. Took my grandson for a slice yesterday at 11:15 am. You would think the pizza would be fresh since they just opened. It was not. I'm even thinking it was yesterday's pizza rewarmed ? Cheese was coagulated and crust was rock hard. If this was my first time here I would never go back. Do not sacrifice quality ! Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because my little grandson prefers day old pizza read more

Always a great choice when in the Capitola Village. Great pizza and unbeatable prices. I only wish I could eat here daily! Try the Big Sur or the Summer special. There is no place to sit here so be prepared to soak in the ocean views while eating on a nearby bench. Fast slices at a killer price! read more

Just the most awful customer service I've ever experienced, the chick at the register was so rude to my wife for no reason. What a bad look smh read more

I recently got an early dinner here. The line was out of the door as it was spring break and the beach was packed. They did not have enough staff. I don't think they planned for the spring break crowd. But the line went pretty quickly. They had plenty of slices to choose from. I got a slice of mushroom. They warmed it up in the pizza oven. They were out of the Greek salad so I got the Caesar. I asked for ranch dressing since I hate Caesar dressing. The salad was tasty. Dipped my pizza crust in the ranch. Overall a nice meal. read more

I love pizza, my heart, but I'd wish they would make their pizzas a little bit more crispy on the bottom specially with the slices. Sometimes you'll have to ask for them to heat it up just a little bit more. Their employees are very courteous and nice and eager to please you read more

On Saturday the 14th my boyfriend, my daughter and I traveled all the way here just to have my favorite pizza on the beach! Yes you heard that right! It was actually my 3rd visit and I love how their pizzas come with a t-shirt as well, it's a souvenir to take home with you and how they sell by the slice, not just the whole pizza pie! I ordered the Lex's Chicken & Bacon Pizza Combo with "Take Another Pizza My Heart Shirt." The best pizza I've ever had in my entire life, it taste just so fresh and very flavorful as well! "Piece Of My Heart" by Janis Joplin, is my all time favorite song to karaoke to, so it was only fitting to purchase this t-shirt! I would highly recommend visiting this local family owned restaurant that's been making fresh, hand-tossed pizza with local ingredients since 1981 for beach goers and visitors alike! The best slice of pizza in CA, you cannot visit Capitola Village without a slice! Let's just say we'll continue to come back to work our way through their pizzas! read more

Pizza My Heart has MY HEART indeed! The bbq pizza with chicken was amazing! Sooo good!

Pizza My Heart on the Capitola Esplanade is open again after the disastrous storms and floods! As usual, with pizza from any of the Pizza My Heart locations, the pizza is great, and available by the slice. They are located within a few steps of the beach, where is is great to eat the pizza. While the storm severely damaged the adjacent ocean facing restaurants (which are being rebuilt) Pizza My Heart, since it fronts the street only and does not face the ocean, was spared the massive destruction. I was told that the water came into the front part, but since the kitchen area is higher than the customer area, the pizza oven and other appliances were not touched by the flood. There is a long chain link fence around the building, but there is an opening to get to Pizza My Heart. read more

Amazing pizza!! Crispy, crunchy crust topped with cheesy goodness and depending on what kind of slice you order other delicious items. I ordered a slice with chicken bacon and ranch dressing and a slice of pepperoni. Both were fabulous. Coming from the east coast this is top notch pizza. read more

Caleb and crew are amazing. We come year round but they are the best summer spot by far. Be sure to snag a shirt while they last.
