Their half cheese and half veggie party size Pizza was piping hot and well done. Service was friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing food and service!! And dog friendly on the patio! I tried the muffaletta (forgot to take a picture because I was too excited to start eating it), and the thin crust half veggie half Bee Sting pizza with Mike’s hot honey - to die for! As a bonus (if you’re a ranch on pizza lover) then you have to try their ranch. In my opinion it’s their secret weapon. The best homemade ranch I’ve ever had. 10/10 for their pizza 10/10 for the service 10/10 for sitting on the patio with my dog and an ice cold beer 20/10 for the ranch

Loved Upper Crust most of my life being a West Sider. They've done it again! I like the square thick crust it was soooo good! Service excellent.

I ordered a medium deep dish Meat Lovers pizza. It was bigger than I guessed as I only could eat two of six pieces. But that means I will have leftovers later tonight.

Great Location. Community standard. Could leave slices in the oven longer but no reason to nitpick. Jenna is very helpful and gets my orders right both for personal food & my uber eats customers. Should have them train new people.

All you can eat pizza night is so good! Most of the pizza is fairly standard, but the veggie pizza is great. Same with the meat combo. Pesto pizza just has a small amount of pesto on it. I'd like to see them make some replacing the red sauce with pesto.

One of the best GF crust pizzas I have had. The crust was crisp and cooked perfectly, loaded with lots of toppings. The ham and cheese muffuletta was delicious too!

Great pizza with fast, friendly service! We started with the muffuletta appetizer and a Caesar salad, both of which were delicious. For the main course, we had the hot honey pizza and BBQ chicken pizza—both were packed with flavor, and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The house-made ranch is absolutely mouthwatering! We loved the outdoor patio and the new mural painted by SC locals.

We found this store by a chance. Sicillan pizze is very good We ordered veggie, pesto, and meet pieces. Lunch special is only $10.50 with 2slices and drink. I will come again. Thank you.

Amazing pizza! We ordered two personal pizzas which were delicious. Our son who is starting to eat more food got the kids spaghetti and we could tell he loved it also because he did not stop eating at all. Husband got an amber ale and said it was pretty good. I got the bottomless mimosas that were the most amazing ever. Would definitely go again plus the service was great.

What a great discovery, We had excellent service. The server gave us a wonderful lesson on some brew. We had a great time. The pizza was so good. This pizza is in my top ten.

What kind of person does not like pizza? A weirdough! 😂😂 I love a good square pizza and I found a restaurant that serves it next to the beach. I got the Original meat combo, which has Sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. The crust is thick, but not like Chicago deep dish, but still thick. For dessert, I got the Sicilian cannoli, which is a crisp pastry shell piped full of sweet creamy filling, topped with chocolate chips and dusted with powdered sugar. It was crunchy and sweet, the chocolate was bittersweet. I wish I would have went on a Tuesday for dinner because they have an all you can eat option from 5pm to 9pm. @uppercrustsantacruz 📍 Upper Crust - Mission St. , Santa Cruz, CA.

The folks who work here are pleasant, kind and efficient. Unfortunately, the pizza was less than amazing. Not bad, just not something I see myself wanting again. Of course, I didn't try all the options, so perhaps there's something that would hit it out if the park. My kids did not like how 'runny' the cheese was on their pizza. Also, being kids, they didn't like the thicker pizza crust and the fact that it's served cut in squares. But that's just kids for ya. Perfectly fine place for a quick slice of pizza that will fill you up, but if taste is what you're looking for, perhaps look a little more.

I gave a 4 star out of 5 because although their service and atmosphere was good, the pizza tasted quite bland. Got 2 pizzas. A pepperoni pizza and combination pizza. The pepperoni tasted just like school pizza and like other reviews the crust was really thick so most of what I was eating was just the crust and whatever was left. Their service is wonderful and it was packed when I arrive but the pizza just doesn’t hit the right checkboxes

We ordered pasta with Alfredo sauce and added chicken and combo square pizza. The pasta is so creamy and has a good flavor. The pizza is just okay, nothing special.

I recently visited this restaurant and tried a few items from the menu. The Sicily’s Mt Etna pizza, with pepperoni, cheese, jalapeño, and garlic, had good flavors but felt sparse on toppings and had a slightly picklish taste. The Veggie Combo pizza, however, was quite bland and needed a generous amount of red pepper to make it more flavorful. On a brighter note, the muffuletta was delicious and definitely a highlight of the meal. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, adding to the overall experience. While some dishes could use improvement, the pleasant environment and attentive staff made it a decent visit.

A family-friendly pizza place with a nice comfortable atmosphere and warm/ friendly staff. A couple of screens for sports and a great playlist in the background ( incl Pink Floyd 😊) . They have a decent vegetarian section with thick & thin crust options. We got a thick crust , Impossible meat square pizza , rotini pasta with vegetarian homemade marinara ( garlic bread) and a Nutella pizza dessert . Unfortunately,the food was much too bland to our liking :( . The addition of chilli flakes didn’t do much …

The place is pretty and friendly. The service is also amazing. But if you have allergies this is not a place for you. I came here today to order some gluten and dairy free food, unfortunately all their sauces contain dairy, even the BBQ ones.

Despite all the great reviews, it was very disappointing to get a pizza with undone crust and lacking taste. Looks okay, vegetable toppings are okay (overloaded black olives) and they put different toppings from the order. There was hardly any taste, Sicilian crust was undone except for the edges. Gooey dough with melted cheese tasting yeast with hardly any sauce/taste. Overall it is a bad experience. Hope they pay attention and serve well done tasty pizza.

Got delivered. BFFR the amount of anything on this “pizza” is a JOKE! $30+ for 90% crust! How high are you right now????????? This is the EXACT same for 2 damn “pizzas”. You need to seriously go over your ingredients per “pizza”!! If not you need to adjust your price for 90% dough ( the cheapest thing I might add). If you can’t make a profit and pay employees crap wages while proving DECENT service you need to just shut your doors!!!! This needs AT LEAST enough sauce to get some in EVERY BITE AND A LEAST 3x the cheese! That said the delivery and time to deliver was outstanding. It was nice and hot apon delivery. The ingredients used are good they just need ALOT more of it to be worth the money.

Pizza was the furthest thing I’ve had from Sicilian in years. I could make this quality of pizza with minimal effort. We came in for a free Tuesday night all you can eat and frustrated to find out we could only select from the cold/old pizza at the front counter which was none of their specialties. No A/C, no baby changing facilities. Never again.

Food preparation is super super slow. We arrived at noon as the first group, and waited 40 minutes for the simple pepperoni pizza after placing our order. 18% gratuity enforced, so the waitress didn't even bother to provide any service beyond minimal. The waitress didn't get our water refilled for even once.
