Welcome to Buzzo's Wood Fired Pizzeria

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”
