Upper Crust Gualala Reviews
Atmosphere: Perfect size Pizza Shack located in downtown Gualala. Place smells exactly like a great pizza joint should. Service was great! We were Greeted with smiles the moment we walked into the door. Nice young lady Took our order as soon as we were ready. We did two medium pizzas: 1 pep & 1 spicy Haw. There was literally a guy in front of us who had just ordered 25 pizzas!! It was all hands on deck and the crew was clearly focused… we could have easily been told to comeback tomorrow… lol but instead we somehow still had our pizzas in had under 20 minutes. Wow. Just wow. Food: pizza was exactly what we ordered, fresh, and tasty as could be. Perfect ending to a majestic location. Thank you!! 5 stars.
Had their meat lover's pizza. It is so delicious. The crust is excellent, not too think and not too thin. Excellent flavor and the ingredients taste fresh. It does get busy so order early. We stop here everytime we come to Sea Ranch. It is a small pizza place and very busy. Staff is very friendly. It usually takes about an hour to get your order, but well worth the wait. You can always order a beer and sit on the porch while you wait. Updated 11/13/22 - still fantastic! Call ahead. Usually about a 45-60 minutes wait but well worth it!
Amazing spot for pizza! So glad that we drove from Point Arena to eat here. We got a large Canadian bacon and a small veggie pesto and both were loved by our whole family. Wish we could go back again and again. Service was fast and friendly and the place was clean.
Perfect crust just soft enough with the perfect crunch along the coast. Friendly service, Dog friendly atmosphere outside. Easy parking right along the main road.
Great pizza! On our second visit we ordered the Margherita pizza. The basil on top was generous and fresh. They also complied with my request to hold the garlic, which my guts are sensitive to. The inside was a bit smokey. Just a cute little family shop that churns out quality pizza at high speeds!
Easy spot to find, women working were so kind and efficient. The pizza smelled and looked amazing, but tasted even better. It was done within the 15 minute window they mentioned, so the entire experience was nothing short of pleasant.
What a marvelous find in Gualala, which like in all coastal towns closes down by 7p.m. There was a crowd around the front door, and parking space was slim outside in the front when we arrived. That had too mean quality pizza pie is made there. I ordered a large house combination pizza, which is mushroom, pepperoni, white onion, sausage, linguica, green peppers and olives. The taste was wonderful and the aroma is to die for. Must visit when in Gualala.
Awesome pizza! We got a medium pepperoni and sausage pizza. I was able to comfortably share with my wife with a few slices leftover. This would be considered good pizza if you were in a major city. The fact that its this tasty and in the middle of nowhere is something special. I can only imagine how satisfying this would taste if you just got done camping.
Pizza was delicious and served quickly. 😋 We had the pizza for dinner and also the leftovers for breakfast. 🍕
I would give this place 10 stars. The Pesto Chicken Pizza was scrumptious. I was stunned at how delicious the crust was on this pizza. Staff was super friendly. Very welcoming.
Delicious Hawaiian pizza! Had the small size and it was the right amount for one person!
They make great pizza. My go-to when staying in the Gualala area.
We ordered 3 pizzas including a gluten-free one and they were inhaled by the teen, tween and adults. Thin crusts and flavourful. Wings were yummy too, but overpriced so definitely a once in a while treat. Will certainly come back!
Have ordered pizza here a couple times while visiting the coast and both were very good. Ingredients tasted fresh and we felt like we got our money's worth with what they made for us. Not a lot of tables to eat in their building, but there is some space. It's really more of a take-out pizza joint.
Nice place, great personnel! The pizza was delicious) At Friday night they were busy but still accepted our order and allowed to eat there even after 8pm. Highly recommend, they are great guys!
We happened to stay in Gualala to break up our drive and this restaurant was listed in the materials we received at our motel. Soooo good!!! All of us raved about the pizza and fought over leftovers. The service was also excellent. Seating is somewhat limited, both indoor and outdoor.
Great pizza place by the ocean. Super day service. Pizza was done in minutes after ordering.
Excellent customer service & delish casual pizza place! Some indoor & outdoor patio seating. Limited but good selection of beer. Salads hidden in fridge display case near restroom. Definitely recommend.
Yearly trip up to Sea Ranch and we got hungry from our drive down and did not want to cook so we stopped in for a small pizza. What can you say.. it is pizza. It is really hard to screw it up and really hard to make it memorable. Price was fair, folks working there were nice and kind, Not a bad experience. Kinda run down on the interior… Oh we ate it there inside. It was too cold to eat outside.
Stopped in on a Friday night with my boyfriend on our way down to Bodega Bay, the place was slammed. It was our first time visiting. I had seen the reviews online and thought grabbing some pizza for the trip down would be great. We get up to the counter and the lady is doing her best to speak at a volume I can hear her that doesn't sound like yelling and we still can't hear her. Then the last next to get meeting pizzas tells at us, "what size do you want?" I was so confused. I looked at my boyfriend who had a look of bewilderment. I asked how long was the wait to which I was informed, "an hour and a hour." The other lady making pizzas it's continuing to tell questions at us as other patrons file in the door behind you. At this point I can see my boyfriend slowly sliding out of the conversation and door. We decided to go somewhere else. I was super bummed. So on a different trip to the coast solo I stopped in for a pie. I ordered a gluten free, veggie-pesto. GF pizza can be hard to do and even harder to get it to taste good. This was good. Though a bit undercooked. The crust could be cruncher. Simple solution is longer cook time. It smelled delicious. All in all.... I give it a three stars. This is based solely on the taste of the pizza. If I wrote a review for the rude, chaotic, overwhelming nature of the atmosphere and people it would get one star.
