Best pizza and appetizers, the Caesar salad was delicious
Everything was delicious!!
Excellent oak fired Italian style pizza.
By far the best pizza in santa cruz. Authentic woodfired Italian pizza. Prices are way better than any other place in town too. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Give these people your business.
Good pizza, but can only order from the small number of selections on the menu, no additions or substitutions allowed. The wait staff is young and inexperienced.
Great food! Pepperoni pizza is my fav. But the charlie pizza is pretty good too. Wine options aren't too bad either.
Again, I hate to give this bunch of stars because I don't want it to be a crowded. Good pizza. Good atmosphere. Good service.
Fave pizza joint in Santa Cruz area. Service, quality, atmosphere - this has it all
Food is excellent! Service staff is new'ish but attentive. Value is excellent. I'll be back!
This is our go to spot whenever we’re in the area. Every pizza we’ve had has been delicious.
Honestly, some of the best pizza in town! The Caesar was delicious, and staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Excellent service, delicious food, nice place. I loved it!
Great food, excellent variety, cool but casual atmosphere, prices for the food are excellent. One of the top spots in Santa Cruz!
Busy place on a Friday night. Fun selection of pizzas. Staff is attentive. Big take out business. Highly recommend
This place was good for the Cesar salad and pizza we had. It is a small place so keep that in mind but will go back for the pizza!
Ambience, pizza, appetizers and service ALL 5 stars. Loved it. If we were Soquel locals, this would be a go to spot.
Pizza was super flavorful and yummy. Out waitress was super friendly. It was a great night out.
On holiday with family from Ireland and this without a doubt is the most amazing pizza we have ever tried..fantastic setting and staff amazing
Food was great. Clean, friendly service, reasonably priced. Highly recommend 👌.
great app (esp the meatballs) and pizza with excellent service and good price point. our favorite pizza spot!
Great pizza, salad and appetizers. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely go again
Good neopolitan-style pizza from a wood-fired oven. Good service, friendly atmosphere.
Vanilla Bourbon cake with homemade vanilla ice cream, toffee nuts and marshmallow puffs 😋
Pizza is tasty but their salads are really fantastic!!
Absolutely delicious. Enjoyed my dinner and dessert!
The best pizza in Santa Cruz Great service
My families weekly go to spot. We love the pizza!
Buzzo has, by far, the best pizza in the area. I'm in love with the Truffle Mushroom and the Gorgonzola, Date, Caramelized Onion pizzas (those aren't the names, but they'll know which ones you mean). Either call the order in, or stop in first before going next door to Beer Thirty. They'll text you when it's ready. You can take it home or bring it back over to BT and have another pint. :) The people that work at Buzzo are friendly and the service is fantastic (don't forget to tip them). They have a lovely patio, if you'd like to dine in and enjoy other tasty morsels off the menu. Go there! Cheers!
Excellent pizza! The chicken wings were a great special, and the apps were fantastic. Especially the carrots. Service was super friendly and attentive, and the vibe was fun with low pretence. Great experience all round.
Great space and amazing pizza, must try if your in the area.
Great place to get some pizza. Servers are nice and so is chef. Arugula salad and potato pizza are very good. We also tried the margherita, which is very good too. The pizza is a thin crust, and cooked in a wood fire right in front of you.
If you want incredible pizza in Santa Cruz don’t waste your time anywhere else. Buzzo is without a doubt the best pizza I’ve had since coming to Santa Cruz. Get the Buzzo Bianco maybe even two of them you won’t be disappointed. The house staff matches their quality of food with fantastic service. Everyone was so friendly, our waitress Julia was so nice and had a really cool hair clip. Go here
Pizza was great! Very fresh. We also had the meatballs and they were amazing!
I feel that this is the best pizza in all of Santa Cruz county. The pizza is perfect. The service is superb and the ambience is great. So glad this place is open close to our house. It’s the perfect date night for me and my wife.
We enjoyed a delicious meal with friends at Buzzo. Recommended by a friend and neighbor we were happy we tried it. The special risotto appetizer was incredible, the caesar salad fresh and the pizzas w/ sausage and mushrooms...MMM! We can't wait to go back.
Just had the Margherita and the Mushroom pizzas, both were amazing. And the crust, it was soooo good. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other pizzas. The Caesar salad looked delicious, so that will be next too.
My first-time at Buzzo's. Arrugala saled was plentiful and tasty with sliced radishes, strawberries and whole almonds. Mushroom pizza (12-inch) had great crust, plenty of flavorful mushrooms and the right amount of cheese. I will be returning for other menu items to try.
Every item is simple,but, FLAVORFUL, NOT really pricey, by 2024 standards. Who else makes arancini? No one. Burrata 🤯 pizza The Charlie..fresh, perfecto! Thank you for this hidden gem behind Sunnyside Produce and Beer Thirty. Didn't try dessert...next time
Delicious pizza, appetizers, wine and desserts. This place is a gem! Service and ambiance is excellent. One of my favorite restaurants in the county. My kids are in love with the potato pizza and meatballs 😍🍕
We ate here recently. The food was great! Staff were friendly to us and the atmosphere is just amazing!
Best pizza in Santa Cruz. Bar none. When Tramonti abandoned their WOOD fired pizza oven, Buzzo came in a filled the void. Short by high quality wine and beer selection!
The Jenkins spicy pizza with the delicious brownie dessert after was absolutely amazing! We will 100% drive back here anytime we are in the Santa Cruz area!
Really great ambiance and reasonable price! Excellent mushroom pizza, nice truffle taste
The pepperoni pizza followed by a brownie and gelato was one of the best meals we’ve had in the area!
Pizza and crispy green beans to go. Excellent quality! The inside of the place looked very inviting, modern and clean. Next time we will dine in!
Great PIZZA and meatballs and Cesar salad followed by GREAT customer service EVERYTIME. Definitely our go to here in Santa Cruz. Don’t sleep on this gem.
One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We got the Caesar salad, meatballs, and pepperoni pizza. Everything was amazing. The service was also a 5/5. Will definitely be returning next time I am in the area.
Pizza is excellent here! Pasta and Caesar salad were big enough portions to share and were equally delicious! When checking out the pizza oven, I noticed the food prep area was as large as the dining room. The chefs gotta love cooking in this kitchen! It was designed by the owner, and all I can say is I was impressed and I will be back.
THE BEST! I’ve been to Buzzo 4 times at this point because their pizza is the best in Santa Cruz (in my opinion as a New Englander). The atmosphere is lively but also somehow relaxed and the side salads are GREAT too. Also I don’t feel like I’ve gone into debt when I’ve gone which keeps us coming back.
Went today before the restaurant opened and the staff was so gracious, bringing out menus and water for me and my friend. I can't eat tomatoes, so it was great to see so many alternative pizza options and interesting salads on the menu. We ordered ice cold tap IPAs and the Gorgonzola pizza with cheese, dates, caramelized onion and more. Delicious! The service was attentive and friendly. It was a hot day so we sat in the spacious outdoor seating area. I was very pleased with the experience and the meal and can't wait to go back and try more from the menu!
Super nice little pizza place after a long road trip. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was outstanding! I really enjoyed the special pizza with squash and a white sauce. I wish there was more than one pasta option, though. The patio is dog very dog friendly, and was nice except for the fact that the table was a little wobbly.
This place is amazing! Food is some of the best in the county! Can’t beat the pizza and the meatballs are incredible! Please never get rid of the salted caramel brownie Sunday!
Food is great service is slow when busy Ordered the arugula salad and the margarita pizza both are great and were able to feed two people
I grabbed for take out and enjoyed a beer while I waited. For some reason the card reader was acting up but the hostess preserved. The pizza was great and the arincini delightful.
Everything on the menu is incredible. One of our favorite places in all of Santa Cruz!
We tried Buzzo on the recommendation of a friend, and we'll definitely be back! We hadn't made reservations, so sat outside under what looked like heat lamps, although they're hanging too high to provide any warmth ( we'll be eating inside next trip!) The beet,avocado salad was delicious! Just the perfect flavor combination. We also had the fried green beans which were done perfectly, the batter light and expertly fried. The margherita pizza was one of the best I've had, locally for sure; great crust, just the right amount of sauce and excellent quality mozzarella. We'll be making reservations and heading back soon!
Our first time at Buzzo was long over due, but it was worth the wait! We brought our 14 month old along with friends and their 16 month old and everyone including the kids loved the food and the vibes. The staff was accommodating, friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. We will be back soon!
What a great place all together! Food was amazing - my husband is Italian and he’s very particular about his pizza. He loved the appetizers, pizzas, and dessert we ordered and that’s a big deal! The mushroom truffle pizza is out of this world delicious. We are definitely going back!
We had the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious… we also had the Ceasar salad and the meatballs and I would order again and again. Julia was our server and she was prompt, friendly and cared about our dining experience. Noah was also a delight with a great sense of humor and attended to our needs. We will be back!
We were blown away by the amazing food, service and atmosphere at Buzzo! We had the burrata and crispy cauliflower apps, and three pizzas! All were fantastic! Pizza crust is the perfect amount of crispy perfection! Great unique pizza flavors and traditional alike! Our server, Ellenore, was attentive, knowledgeable and provided great service! We can’t wait to dine here again soon!
Tried the Charlie pizza and burrata appetizer. The pizza is excellent - best I've found in the area. The crust is crispy and airy but tender inside. Sauce is simple and good and the toppings are top quality. The burrata is served with oven dried tomatoes and fry bread, and is just outstanding. Nice job!
Out go to pizza experience on the east side. Surprisingly easy to get a table probably cause a lot of the pizza gets eaten in beer 30. Appetizers are pretty awesome too. The potato pizza is an all timer. The pepperoni is delicious and surpisingly interesting . Also fun to sit at the high table near the oven and watch the crew toss, assemble and bake the pies. Expensive but worth it.
The arugula salad and the margherita pizza was the best we’ve ever had. The atmosphere was so wonderful, and our service was good. They seemed to be short staffed with servers, but we were just enjoying a relaxing evening. The browned butter gelato was the perfect finish. We will be back for sure!
The best adult pizza date in the county! Also beautiful atrium room for groups! Twice We’ve had groups of 10, service and food outstanding. We love 1/2 wine Tuesdays.
We got take out after a beach day ran long and our other options were closed. What a great find! We had an impromptu pizza party. Crispy cauliflower 👍 meatballs 👍 potato pizza 👍 kale pizza 👍 didn’t even get a piece of the mushroom because it was gone so fast. Reasonably priced and ocation is super convenient, we took our food over to beer-thirty next door. Highly recommend, we will be back.
First time trying this place and we absolutely LOVED it! It was amazing. The food was great, atmosphere was also really good. Our waitress was so friendly. I think her name was Eleanor, not 100% sure! Will definitely be coming back. We really enjoyed how the food didn’t come out so quickly. There was time to eat our appetizer and then ease into dinner.
One of the best pizza I ever had. We build our own - added veggies to the Margherita pizza. The kids thought the cheese pizza was spicy though. The crust is the best. The fried cauliflower is a must. Great service too.
Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Wood fired, classic thin, crispy crust...made and served by super friendly staff. We had a salad on the side which was also delicious and the gelato was the perfect dessert. Though we didn't have any apps, they looked tasty! Just go. You won't be disappointed... Update: Just had the Carbonara - the taste of the crust is exceptional and the topping ratio was perfect and delicious (leftovers made for an excellent breakfast topped with arugula and a poached edd 😋). We also had the crispy cauliflower which was super yummy. Honestly- this might be the best value in Santa Cruz.
Buzzo exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere was inviting and cozy. The service was attentive and professional. And the food was absolutely terrific. We got a celery pear fennel salad that was crisp, fresh, flavorful, and perfect. We also ordered the squash delicatta pizza, and we were impressed. The wood-fired crust had just the right amount of chew, while staying perfectly soft inside and having excellent flavor. The sauce, squash, and bacon added richness and layers of flavor and individuality. Overall, this food was made with the highest quality and most flavorful ingredients, and an attention to detail that made the entire dining experience a pleasure. I highly recommend Buzzo Pizza; you will be happy you chose to visit.
Amazing wood fired pizza joint in Soquel! Glad we finally tried this joint after typically driving across town to either Mentone or Bantam. My wife and I had the burrata with bread and the arancini for apps before enjoying the pepperoni pizza and zucchini pepperoni as we couldn’t settle on just one pizza. Glad we got both as both were super yummy, and we had leftovers to take home. Sitting inside was a good time as we could easily see the pizza being made and cooked, which just enhanced our time there. Great staff, too!
Extremely flavorful pizza. Sauce had excellent balance of acidity and sweetness. Generous toppings. Server was very friendly and attentive. It was great to be able to see the cooks working their magic in the open kitchen.
Got two delicious pizzas, the burrata appetizer, and drinks! They’ve got a nice atmosphere/look, and our waiter Francisco was wonderful. Will come back :)
The five of us went there on a busy Saturday, July 20 for dinner. We loved the appetizers best. We had crispy vegetables, which we fried cauliflower, the burrito cheese, and the Caesar salad. All of them were surprisingly delicious with very distinct flavors. Then we had the mushroom pizza and the pepperoni pizza which were ok but did not compare to the appetizers. They only had ales and one pilsner as beer. Unfortunately no lager. We had one ale and one pilsner which were ok but not great. Our waitress, Julia, was very friendly and did a wonderful job. We will be back but more for the appetizers than the pizza.
We’ve been waiting for Buzzo to open and we are so glad they have. We just had time for a Margherita Pizza and a Caesar Salad. The salad had a great dressing that covered the lettuce the way I like. The pizza had that great crust where you look forward to finishing the edge.

Excellent wood fired oven pizzas, great salads and nice atmosphere on their patio! They used to have fantastic arancini but have stopped offering this :(
Nice salads as well as variety of pizzas. We had the margarita and the sausage 12 inch pizzas easily enough for 4 people. Pizza was great and price was reasonable. Definitely will return.
Best pizza around! The pizzas are excellent, love the side vegetables and salads and the atmosphere is perfect - casual, but has an upscale feel
Huge delicious arugula salad with strawberries! Enough for 4! Service outstanding! Francisco our waiter very attentive! Good wine! Pizza Hot from the oven, so good! Our first time in this lovely garden setting! Will go back soon!
Food was amazing, restaurant was beautiful, staff was very nice. Ranks in my top three pizza places.

Great food and service. Worth trying it. Their arugula salad and Potato pizza are very good. Dessert was also pretty good. Overall a great family place.
Pizza was okay. A little strange that lunch was take- away only.
For a Tuesday night around 7:15 PM, this place was busy but maybe understaffed? We were seated right away but then waited almost 20 min for waters to be brought to our table. Once we got those, we placed our order for drinks, a salad and two pizzas. It took about another 10 min for our drinks to come but after that, things moved a little quicker. Overall the food was incredible and once we were served our server was kind… but overall it was just subpar on serving time. I think they could have benefited from another server or even just someone to bus tables.
This is a wonderful pizza place with a unique menu. The potato pizza is actually quite good! I have never heard of that before coming here. Their Mushroom pizza is very good. Their artichoke hearts are also phenomenal. Their pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven from what I can tell and the crust is thin and crispy. Their Caesar salad is great as well. I was very happy with the food they served my family and I.
My name is Keleanu from San Francisco. We stayed here in capitola for the weekend and Buzzo Pizza was highly recommended. We ordered the sausage and mushrooms pizza and it was delicious. Even our Chinese grandma from Kunming China loved the pizza here! Thanks for the delicious memories here in Capitola California!
As a family that truly loves Italian cuisine, we’ve visited countless Italian restaurants in various regions. Buzzo Wood Fired Pizza immediately impressed us with its modern, stylish interior and its open kitchen — a design choice that suggested both culinary transparency and a commitment to cleanliness. It set the stage for high expectations. Yet, upon entering, there was an inexplicable sense of unease. It’s hard to pinpoint whether it stemmed from the service itself or the overall atmosphere, but the warmth and friendliness we often appreciate in a dining experience felt somewhat absent. For our mains, we ordered The Charlie Pizza and The Jenkins Pizza. The Charlie Pizza was, unfortunately, far too salty. A touch of saltiness can enhance flavor, but in this case, it overpowered the dish and made it difficult to enjoy. The Jenkins Pizza, featuring jalapeños for a bit of spice, was fine but lacked any particularly memorable or distinctive character. The highlight of the meal, however, came in the form of the appetizer: Arancini. These crispy, golden risotto balls, served with a parmesan sauce and leek oil, were exceptional. The contrast of the crunchy exterior and creamy risotto center, paired with the rich and aromatic sauces, was superb — easily redeeming the shortcomings of the pizzas we ordered. In the end, Buzzo Wood Fired Pizza shows great potential, with a stylish setting and certain dishes that shine. A warmer, more welcoming service experience and better balance in the pizza seasoning could elevate it into a truly outstanding destination.
Really solid pizza. It was overall a great vibe, with a nice outdoor area. I had heard a lot of great things about Buzzo's before finally getting an opportunity to eat here, so was really hopeful. Definitely see why people like it! The crust is damn near perfect, and the arancini was wonderful. The better pizza was definitely the margherita. I had heard a lot about the potato pizza, but to me it just didn't really seem to work; there were so many ingredients and it just didn't meld well to me. Neither pizza had the marbling on the cheese I was hoping for, but definitely overall a really solid experience! Would come back for sure!
Nice, clean, ambient little restaurant. The meatballs were 10/10. They toasted the bread perfectly to go with it and the ricotta added on top was soo delicious! The arancini that people seemed to rage about wasn't really special to me personally. The filling was a bit bland and the sauce wasn't anything too crazy. Just your typical arancini. For this place being a pizza place, the pizza that we received was a 6/10 for me. The crust was spectacular. Very soft yet chewy, it felt like a warm mochi. The flavor was overall good but I don't like my pizza wet. The waitress was very sweet and nice. It was busy for a Thursday night. She came and checked up on us three times during their rush asking how everything is. The ambiance and service got me enjoying my stay here.
Very good overall. Pizza is consistently to my liking - thin bubbly crust, not too heavy on the toppings. If you love Oak & Rye, Del Poppolo, Manresa, Bantam then this is closer to those than not. Excellent Caesar salad, and the fried appetizer (usually green beans or cauliflower) is always spot on. I’m not huge on dessert, especially brownies, but the brown butter gelato, and the brownie a la mode, are worth eating. And the service is always friendly. February 2026 - still going strong. Caesar remains one of the best three in town. My new favorite pizza here is the Nduja; have had Nduja pizza elsewhere but the combination of the black olives and arrested onions works very very well.

I recently dined at Buzzo and unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Our food was served considerably late, and to make matters worse, our order was forgotten. The waiter seemed overwhelmed, leading to a frustrating dining experience. I hope the management takes steps to improve their service and avoid such issues in the future.
When the crispy cauliflower appetizer and the bourbon cake deserts are the highlight of the dining experience, it doesn’t say much for the pizza. I am a fan of thin crust pizza, but sadly the crust on our pizza was just too soggy, with the toppings sliding off. Have to admit that the pesto sauce and the mushroom toppings were tasty, if only they were on a nicer crust. Also, our tab had an unexpected service charge, with no explanation. It will be a while before we return, since there are many other options in the area.
Let me start with the toppings were fresh and tasty albeit honestly to much due to fact I ordered multiple toppings. The dough was fresh However it tasted like charcoal from oven being to hot. Went early as well before they we're busy,very disappointing
Recent visited - first and only time there. The atmosphere wasn't particularly nice, but that may be because we were seated at what's probably the worst seat in the house - right next to the entry way at the bar, right next to the bathrooms, and right next to the access way to the kitchen/behind the bar. The pizza was good - the crust was nice and chewy, but if you're not into white sauce or pineapple the selection becomes somewhat limited. I had the Nduja, which was good. The vegetarian person in my party had the Margherita since it's the only red sauce vegetarian pizza without pineapple - it was okay, but we've had much better elsewhere.

I was hoping for a tasty pizza, being a firewood pizza. The pizza turned out to be very disappointing, the dough was very chewy, every bite was a struggle. My kids love pizza and anything with pepperoni and cheese, but they also struggle with the pizza crust. The topping were very tasty and had a good balance, too bad the pizza crust was disappointing to really enjoy it.
Waiter was excellent. Atmosphere too. Pizza was very spare with toppings. Crust was cooked, but only crisp on the outermost edge, otherwise unusually limp…almost wet. Caesar salad was gooey. Rita choices….ultra sweet but waiter brought extra lemon juice (nice). Olives were good. Meatballs very good. So much room for improvement on this simple, but very hard-to-interpret menu. And pretty pricey!

I called three times tonight and it rang off the hook. The website does not have specialty pizza ingredient list or descriptions. I will try to taste the food again when I’m back in town.
