Gusto is one of the few truly scratch-made Italian restaurants that specializes not only in pizza, pasta, and sauces, but also features an old-school brick, wood-fired pizza oven. Hell, they even make their own mozzarella! They have not only caught the eye of locals and Yelpers, but have also managed to earn a recommendation in the current Michelin Guide. The Good: * Private parking lot, as well as street parking. * Fabulous service from Alex! * Prices are very reasonable considering the food quality. * Local beers on tap. * Strawberry Prosciutto Salad (seasonal special) was fantastic! Who knew strawberries paired so perfectly with salty, cured prosciutto and pistachios? This might not be on the menu all the time, but if you see it, get it! * Complimentary focaccia was unbelievably soft and delicious. As if it couldn't get any better, their olive tapenade served alongside it was equally delicious, making for an unbeatable duo. * The Margherita pizza is the ultimate test of a pizza restaurant--and they passed with flying colors! It's so simple that if something isn't right, it'll be easy to spot, but everything from the homemade mozz to the slightly charred crust and the delicious sauce made this the perfect pie. I give it a score of 3.14159265359...! The Meh: * Meatballs were a touch too tough and could've been a bit more tender. They were still fuçking delicious, so honestly, who cares? The Ugly: * Despite the name, Seaside isn't the most glorious place, and this location is downright sus AF. Conclusion: Maybe one of the best meals so far of 2026. If you have any doubts about coming here, relieve yourself of them and get down here posthaste.

I honestly can't believe this place wasn't packed! My group and I stumbled upon this spot for a…read morelate dinner after a long day of exploring the coast, and it was exactly what we needed. It's a cozy, family-owned business. When we arrived, there was only one woman working and doing absolutely everything--taking orders, prepping, and baking. Another person eventually came in to help her, but we honestly felt for them! Despite being understaffed, they were kind and hardworking. We were so hungry that we forgot to take photos (rookie mistake, I know), but the pizza was phenomenal. We ordered: Classic Pepperoni: Perfectly greasy and crisp. BBQ Chicken: Great tangy sauce-to-topping ratio. Curry Chicken: The standout! Super flavorful and a nice twist on traditional pizza. They do not skimp on toppings which was great. It took about 30 minutes to get our food. Honestly, for a small family shop where they're making things fresh, that's not bad at all. If you're in a massive rush, be mindful, but the quality is well worth the half-hour wait. Bottom line: Support this local business! The food is great, the people are hardworking, and it's a perfect spot to refuel.

There is informal, in-door seating but it looks more like a take out place, though the prices are more high end. The reason for my three star is that the pizza ultimately was bland and most importantly the crust was undercooked. It's a pretty thick crust and ours was doughy; I had to recook to make it more firm. There wasn't much sauce and it had no flavor. The toppings seemed fresh and it is possible their Eastern pizzas are more flavorful, so if you are looking for that you should give it a try. But if you want a more traditional Italian or 'West' pizza, there are better options.

Service was good, there were several servers and everyone was very friendly. We got the Greek Pizza with gyros, fig and prosciutto pizza, and wings. Both pizzas were good, the Greek Pizza reminded me of the Costo combo pizza (RIP) and the fig and prosciutto pizza was very unique with the hot honey drizzle, although would not have been one of my top choice. The wings were okay. I could at least tell they were made fresh although not a huge fan of the taste/texture. Came with ranch and buffalo sauce, from the bottle I'm certain. Atmosphere was although busy, very relaxed and calm. Everything in Carmel is pretty pricey and Pizza Heaven is no exception. If I was back in Carmel another time, would likely not visit again. However, if you're craving pizza, I'd say definitely come here to get your fix.

Multiple slices of pepperoni had plastic still attached to them, which was clearly visible tangled around the meat and left behind on the plate. This wasn't a onetime mistake or limited to a single slice. l've encountered the same issue on more than one occasion, including at different Mountain Mike's locations in the area (Monterey and Marina). It is extremely off-putting and raises concerns about food preparation and quality control. Unfortunately, this has happened often enough that it's hard to ignore. I hope Mountain Mike's takes this issue seriously and improves their preparation standards. For the price, I'd expect to eat without any inconveniences coming from the food itself.

The Sophia was a dream if you love white sauce pizza -- creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being too heavy. The Golden State was one of the most unique pizzas I've had in the best way possible. Every bite had something interesting going on and who knew pizza and potatoes just work so well together. But the absolute star for me was the special "La Bomba." WOW. The Calabrian chili gave it the perfect kick and depth of flavor. It was bold, a little spicy, and completely addictive. I would honestly come back time and time again just for that pizza alone. They have a unique crust was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside -- and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully put together, not just thrown on a pie. The place itself has a great vibe, good service, and the staff makes the whole experience feel welcoming and fun. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a pizza to go, this place checks every box: great service, creative menu, amazing flavor, and pizza you'll be thinking about long after you leave. Already looking forward to our next visit!

How long does it take to box a slice.. grab a cup , ring up?? ridiculously slow execution!! drove me nuts watching how slow the process was.

But that's how far back line was and stood there for 10 minutes and only moved once!! Ugh.. One guy had 1 glove on 1 glove off. Made no sense. one guy had zero gloves. And one guy had gloves but what's the point if he's twirling the dough and it all over his hairy arms. I had to tell myself over and over... everything gets killed when it gets cooked in the hot oven... but I wonder how many hairs have fallen into the dough??!!! c'mon.. they have got to make elbow length gloves by now for these jobs! Some things are better left unseen if you don't follow healthy food practices. And, at no time did I see anyone wash their hands in between or change gloves:( on the upswing.. I did learn they make the circle of sauces with a baster. Here's a thought: why not do what In & Out does when it gets busy and send someone to the line with a handheld machine that swipes cards & takes orders....?!!! made me sick waiting over 25 minutes to get a slice of pizza when I know Whole Foods was in same parking lot:( but, I promised my grandude the shirt. Or how about a second register just for people who want a slice or salad. You lost at least 10 people when they came in and saw the line!! Not that that's going to break you... but.. there has got to be a better way. There's my 2cents. you get to make your own decision if you see the line backed up to the back room. ;)

This is an update/reply to owner on 4/1:…read more I think your reply to me here is making matters worse. You're refusing to take accountability for the fact that you hired an individual who is extremely obnoxious, mouthy, and disrespectful to a customer who is having a problem due to a combination of factors - one being that you closed early on a weekend night, and the other being that a third-party service is failing to do a good job. A third-party service I might add who you have chosen to do business with. As a small business owner myself, as you pointed out, I can assure you, I will never hire a person and allow them to work at my front desk who has the audacity to treat customers as rudely as your employee did. The largest offense here was the behavior of your employee and that is the one thing you have failed to address. There are solutions to the problems you were having - one is as simple as writing a note on your door, letting your customers know that you've chosen to close early that day. Another is refusing to do business with a third-party who is making matters worse rather than better for your business. But the most important thing here is having the care And attention that is required to not hire people capable of being so rude to your customers. Your employee did not make that offer of a pizza until we pointed out that he could have done something better to address the situation rather than giving mouth. But the point here is, we did not want pizza at that time. We wanted the night before when we were in a jam, and by that point, our trust in the food at your store was completely shattered. Because if a person makes a decision to hire someone that is so rude to customers, they may also make the decision to hire a cook who spits in your food. And anyone who fails to understand or address the unacceptable behavior of their employees when it is necessary is indeed a one star establishment. This is an update: A person from Pizza My Way called me a day after I posted my original 1-star review. She was friendly and helpful, and ultimately refunded the $40. I appreciated that. So I brought my review up to 3 stars. However, the situation was seriously unacceptable. Businesses have a responsibility to hire people who are going to treat customers with respect and who are capable of responding to problems created by decisions of the restaurant and their policies. This was a stressful experience and my wife and I walked away feeling very disrespected and initially $40 poorer with no pizza and no solution. The young person working for them has no business treating customers who pay a whopping $40 for a pizza that way- and his behavior being tolerated makes it impossible for me to give the restaurant another chance - so I cannot give an honest review of their food only their service. Maybe if someday I get a call that they have let said employee go they can regain my trust and I'll give them a try because their right up the street, and perhaps I can become a regular customer since I'm so close and they can get a higher rating from me. Originally posted 5/15: Worst pizza experience on the Monterey Peninsula by far. The place just randomly closes on a Saturday night well before their posted closing time. I order for pick up, spend over $40 for one large pizza which is absolutely crazy. I mean other people might think that's normal but I think that's crazy. That doesn't matter. I was in a jam and I had to get my kids some food and was not able to get back home and cook because of an emergency at work. In any case, I pay for the pizza online and then I called to confirm and there's no answer. I call multiple times. I show up to the store in person at around 8:35, 25 minutes before they are supposed to take their last order, and the whole place is dark. The next day, I am assured by the person I speak to on the phone that I will be refunded. Later on that day, I double checked to make sure that's true and it looks like they withdrawn the money from my bank account. So I called back and the person I speak to on the phone refuses to give me their name, they take absolutely no accountability for the situation, and offer absolutely no solution. So I spent $40 on pizza I never received, I was completely unable to get the attention of the manager, and my wife, and I both had to endure rudeness, extreme rudeness from their staff. When I walked in to restate my reasonable request to no avail, the person on staff was recording me on his phone. I don't get it. I'm the customer and I've already spent money and I still haven't received any product from them. It's nothing personal. When you're closing well before you posted hours on a weekend night, when you've got some cockamamie ordering system that you've built into your website, when you can't be accountable to your customers that spend money or even polite, you deserve the bad reputation that follows.

I stood at the counter to order five minutes. Two workers made eye contact with me but no one took my order. There was no other customer in line but me.

He was literally standing right in front of me behind the counter. After completing the phone order, the worker immediately turned around and walk back towards the oven when another worker started lecturing him on what he was doing wrong. I walked out.
