Still The Best Pizza in NorCal! Was surprised by change in ownership to a chain, but the same exceptional pizza I’ve enjoyed there for the last nine years. Same amazing and friendly service.

We come here all the time! One of the best pizza my heart locations being so close to the beach and in such an iconic area. Grab a few slices and walk to the cliff side to see the ocean. You won't regret it!

If you know, you know. Sourdough crust is the best. I grew up with pizza my heart, but there is a reason I pass three of their stores to get to pizza one. The staff is super nice, and always friendly, and the slices are...Read More

This place makes truly fantastic pizza - crisp and light crust crust that is deliciously chewy on the inside. Toppings are super fresh and generous. We love pizza and eat a lot from our local specialty pizza shops (never from chain stores) and this is...Read More

Tasty pizza! And friendly humans! Clean space and quick in and out. 👍 We grabbed a large for a family of 4 and walked down to the beach/pier to eat. There's lots of picnic tables (some in sun and some in shade) and a cool ship...Read More

Great service and delicious food! They provide fast and hot pizza, taste crispy not chewy, freshly served with decent portion. Reasonable price with plenty flavors to choose. Seems like a family run business. Support local business. Will come back for sure!

Pizza 1 has one of my favorite pizzas ever. It's been ten years since I've had it, but I think of it every time I have pizza elsewhere. I highly, highly recommend the Corralitos Market pizza if you have an adventurous palate. Garlic-infused …

Seriously good pizza. The gluten free crust is the best I have ever had. The sauce and cheeses are so flavorful, you can tell they use quality ingredients!

Awesome pizza, reasonably priced. I love their crust. It's perfectly crunchy. The sauce is great and the toppings are great. And the staff is friendly and very helpful. I dig Aptos, and love pizza 1

For my money, by the pie or the slice, best pizza in Santa Cruz County! Clever pizza combinations, generous toppings, super dough--all for the price of a ho-hum chain pizza. Personal favorites are the Corralitos Market (sausage, apples, …
