Take out. Huge pizza. We had the three cheese plus mushrooms and it was awesome. Called in the order and it was ready so fast, pizza and the deep fried ravioli.

This restauraunt is SOOOOOOOOO GOOD! I ordered Take out but when I walked in I said Dang it smells good in here. Was greeted with great service, reasonably priced. Ordered a calzone and the platter, all of the food was delicious. Parking is tough as its right off the street but WELL worth a little bit of a walk. Will definitely be back.

Great little pizzeria. Owner whipped up a house salad for me that was awesome to go with my really good slice of pepperoni pizza. Enjoyed both a lot. Will definitely return!

Cool little pizza place in Seaside. Pizza is really good. Thin crust seasoned just the right way and not too much sauce.

The best pizza and price point for miles. Customer service is on point; I messed up an online order adding Pepperocinni instead of Pepperoni, so when I arrived they just made another pizza for me at no extra cost. AND, they have both East Coast thin crust and West Coast sourdough crusts available. Very well thought out for the pizza connousier! The Greek salad is also worthy. Vintage vinyl album covers adorn the walls and tables. Love this place! Five stars all around. You wont be disappointed.

Im a former New Yorker. I had a good feeling about this place just from the smell. The pizza was excellent. It reminded me of the pizza I grew up with. The crust was thin and crisp, and the flavor was very similar to New York pizza. The service was great and friendly.

I honestly almost walked out when I saw this place. It just seemed like it would not live up to the hype. SO glad I didn’t! Some of the best pizza I’ve had outside of New York! I will absolutely go here every single time I’m in Monterey!

Heavenly. ohh where do I start? The sauce - Fresh? Definitely. Authentic? The word itself simply doesn’t do this sauce the justice it deserves. It holds that slight acidity and bitter fruitiness of the crushed tomato, but is broken down and hearty enough to embrace an onslaught of toppings if it had to. In the same breath, it’s light enough to be dusted with a touch of herbs and not outshine any of the delicate flavors. It triggers sensations of an old world Italian heritage. In my mind I can actually hear Nona yelling at her nipotini to stop fighting while she slaves over the stove on Sunday.The crust was yet another ode to the old world. Thin but with integrity. Crunchy first and then just resistant enough to the tear before it succumbed to the chew. Finally, a flood of the soft rich yeasty flavor that could’ve stood alone as a masterpiece. Truely a substantial inclusion to the artistry that was this pizza.You can’t beat the fresh mozzarella plopped like islands of goey creaminess, each one blazed over the top just sufficient to coax a bubble or two of char. I’d call it the perfect amount- just enough to ensure each slice got a taste of the goodness, but not so much as to cause the feeling of lethargia and actively clogging arteries.Finally a sprinkle of chopped fresh leaf basil and feta cheese, and an ever so slight drizzle of olive oil to really bring all the flavors together.Add to that a short wait time, excellent service, and a cold beer? I tell you it truely felt like heaven.I told my wife that it’s a pizza worth moving to this side of the country for. I don’t say that lightly. We’ll see if she bites.Thanks again, The Oven. Ci Vediamo Dopo. I’m really looking forward to it.

We ordered the appetizer sampler. Jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, something else..I bit into the jalapeno poppers and they were still cold in the middle. The pizza was okay. They did have GREAT music .

Ive had a slice of their pizza before but it wasnt right out of the oven.Today I had their slices out of the oven and they are great.A little chewy but the closet Ive tasted for New York style pizza. Crisp outer crust and nice sauce. I will be back for a whole pizza.Highly recommend The Oven.

Looking for a New York pizza fix in the area and this looked like a good option. We ordered a large cheese 🍕. It was likely the best you can get around here and was prepared well, cooked well and tasted good. Recommend red pepper flakes, extra Parm and a shake of oregano. Also ordered a meatball sub which was a great value. Three large homemade meatballs on a crispy hoagie roll. Mine was short on cheese so maybe ask for extra if you like it cheesy. Also had them add peppers and onions which were cooked. Since it was a Togo order they put the sauce 🫙 on the side. Good job guys!

We’ve ordered from here before on a Friday night and it was really good. But tonight’s a Thursday and we picked up a half baked horrible rendition of the “mushroom magic” (supposed to have portobello mushrooms too and I’ve been excited to try this one). It sucks when you pay 50 bucks for pizza that leaves you half baked…aka disappointed. I gave it a 3 because the first time we ordered The Tahoe and it was fire 🔥…maybe it was just a lazy night for these chefs..?

Really good pizza for a price that is reasonable in the Monterey area. We only eat sourdough pizza, and although this didn’t blow us away, it was really good and we really enjoyed it.I will say we weren’t super impressed by their specialty pizza, Golden State, but it wasn’t bad, either. Three Cheese was awesome and exactly what we looking for.We had it last night and are talking about getting it again tonight.

Best pizza on the peninsula. Owner is present, and almost always in the kitchen. Everything is really good. My wife usually gets the veggie margarita pizza, and I get the meatball sandwich. I am part Italian, and a meatball critic. These balls are 5 star, homemade and delicious. We love the Oven!

Great service. Cant go wrong with deep fried raviolis. Nice quiet place for a visit during the week. Pizza was ready quickly. I think it would have been tastier if we had eaten in house, pizza was just okay. Ranch tastes strongly of mayo. *To the owner: cut with buttermilk, product stretches & less mayo flavor

Got the lunch, special two slices of pizza and a Diet Coke for 10 bucks which seemed a little bit pricey. The pizza was decent and the crust was cooked. Perfect also.

We ordered two Meat Lovers Calzones. So good! The sauce comes on the side and when you add this to the Calzones, it is a ticket to flavor town.Dave made our Calzones. Friendly folks. This pizza place is on my must stop and try list if staying in Monterey, Seaside or Sand City.We took ours to go and had a picnic lunch by the ocean.

This is by far the best pizza place in town. I used to love Papa Murphys, but they went out of business a few years back. The new all-star pizza place is The Oven Pizzeria. A lovely small business with a lot of amazing options. The chef is super friendly and theyre up for experimentation. I had an amazing slice inspired by the Superbowl! If youre ever in town looking for a slice, theyre the best bet. Best pizza by the slice in the county.They also have a bar, perfect for your next party.

The garlic knots and the marinara sauce that comes with them are so good. The Sofia pizza was delicious and we enjoyed the sourdough crust so much. Great experience!

We just moved to the 831.. a week in and this place made us feel right at home. We had the thin crust California style pizza and Fat Lip on draft from English Ales...both were awesome!!! All Ill say is dont be shy..😉👍🏽😎

Went in and had a rough start. The guy in there kept messing up our order when we were trying to place it. Realized it was loud in there and when we back to pick up our order we offered a box and plenty of cheese and napkins. The calzones were so amazing.

Good pizza, service and prices. Hand 🖐️ tossed dough took a bit longer but was worth the dough we spent on it 😊.

AMAZING PIZZA. Great-friendly staff. You feel like you’re in someone’s home. Great atmosphere. They have a beer on tap and wine. A small bar to sit if want to watch a game.

We just ordered for the first time from The Oven. Let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! We ordered the deep fried Ravioli, mozzarella sticks, 2 pizzas and a salad. Everything was delivered hot! The sauce is some kind of sorcery because it was SO fresh and flavorful! My family recently moved to the area and we are so excited that we found our new pizza spot! Yall keep doing what youre doing!

Its an awesome little hole in the wall pizza place. And ohh was the pizza good, thin and crispy the way my wife likes it.

Review №35

2023-04-24 21:17:36

This pizza was exactly what we wanted. Large slices, bomb toppings, and a great variety of options. We got the Tahoe and the Meat Lovers. Both were awesome! Only downside is that we had to wait 30 minutes for our second pizza after the first one came out because they made us the wrong one first. Overall, we werent even upset about the additional wait because the food was that good.

Review №36

2022-03-08 01:21:53

The kids working at this place are absolute workhorses! Stretching dough by hand, making things fresh! Even though it’s relatively empty, the to-go orders seem to be flying in! I’d choose this place over nationally recognized chains every day of the week!

Review №37

2023-12-09 03:43:59

I can’t believe I paid $33.00 for a simple pizza and they were skimpy on toppings especially for a $33.00 pizza

I had the pizza here and I enjoyed it. Also, the service was friendly. The price was right. The food arrived quick. There was red pepper on the table, which was very nice. They had garlic when I asked for it. Eating here made me happy.Eating pizza in California is hit or miss. This place didn’t miss. It hit the spot.

2023-10-18 01:27:39

Good pizza place in Monterey. If you are looking for New York style this is the place to go. Flavored well and best part my kids love it. They were asking for more.

Review №42

2023-06-10 12:40:57

Small, local pizzeria. High quality. Had veggie calzone which was generous in portion, and had quality ingredients. A sauce was a little bland & on the sweet side. Draft beer & wine. Street parking only. Small bomber of tables with record albums under glass tops. Worth stopping.

Review №43

2022-09-03 03:07:17

Friendly staff at checkout, but took a long time (15+ mins) to get my take out order which consisted solely of 1 order of garlic knots. Alas the knots were charred black.

Review №44

2023-08-25 02:27:42

My second time eating here. The bathroom is disgusting, it could use some regular cleaning and repairs. The pizza was just ok. It was convenient and met our needs, but we dont have the desire to go back.

Review №45

2024-01-27 04:56:36

Had my doubts when they said it would be thirty minutes for a calzone that cost almost $19.. but man, that was a pretty danged good calzone.

Review №46

2023-11-18 23:28:56

The food was delicious. Place is nice and clean and the service was good. Food came out a little slow, but other than that, everything was great. Definitely will go back to try another pie

First time trying sourdough pizza crust. It was delicious!

Review №49

2022-11-09 02:49:47

Its all about the pie!!! The crust is AMAZING!! Had a west coast and east coast. Both were great, I did favor the west coast. Tried one with sweet peppers, potatoes (yup, potatoes), a chipotle sauce....just so so good! The potatoes were sliced thin, and were crisp from the oven. Never thought I wouldve liked it, but now, I might have troubles order anything else! Kids got the garlic knots, and again, fabulous. You can go wrong trying this place. Its a little small on the inside, but clean with friendly service.

Review №51

2022-03-15 19:36:27

My favorite pizza spot in all of Seaside, Ca. This restaurant can’t be beat! They have SOURDOUGH pizza crust and this is a GAME CHANGER. They know what they’re doing and know how to make their customers feel special. Very friendly staff and owner. Rarely have complaints because everything on the menu is delicious. They have great flavor profiles and options for all taste buds. My favorite is the Golden State, west coast style. I’ve never had a pizza with that much flavor and pizzaz. 10/10 I hope they stay around forever.

Review №52

2022-11-29 02:34:55

Im unsure as to what all the fanfare is about. The dough was good, not great. The pizza overall lacked flavor. The mozzarella sticks were just ok too. Salads, way overpriced. Im not sure if the blonde woman is the owner. Either way, her attitude stinks. Incredibly unfriendly, maybe she was having a bad night.

Review №53

2022-09-18 03:00:30

A true New York experience - Fabulously flavored crust baked to crisp perfection with fresh and amazing toppings in the Californian tradition. You want a good slice? Theres no where else to go - The Oven Pizzeria!

Review №54

2022-08-08 16:28:50

Best pizza in Seaside, probably in the entirety of Monterey County. The Oven never disappoints. Prices are definitely reasonable for the quality. Delicious and unique combos without being pretentious. Even my family visiting from out of town had high praise for the Oven. I will keep going back again and again....

Review №55

2022-02-22 17:07:16

Small place, so not much room to sit if youre coming here impromptu. We ordered out and the pizzas were delicious. Also worth a try is the fried ravioli which was super crunchy. Staff was friendly even though they were very busy. Definitely worth a visit if you want something in Seaside and want to skip the hustle and bustle of downtown Monterey.

Review №56

2022-06-06 03:34:04

Ok..A sweet little hole in the wall pizza place.. I ordered the thin crust Primo Supreme.. the crust was fabulous as the toppings. Garlic Knots were good but not very garlicky. My husband ordered the Coast pizza and the crust was very good as well as the toppings. However the best was the Greek salad! The presentation was beautiful and inviting with just the right amount of everything that gave it the burst of flavors it had! The service was ok and the lady at the counter might of just been having a hard day. Its street parking only.. but it was easy to find parking close by.

Great pizza. From out of town and staying bear by. Found the place on Google and figured wed try it out. Was curious of the sourdough crust and it was better than I thought it would be. We bought 2 pizzas for 4 of us and had plenty of it left over for lunch the next day. Staff was great and pizza didnt take long to make. Would definitely suggest checking it out if you like pizza.

Review №58

2022-03-25 02:27:46

Food took longer than expected. However, a gentleman came out with our pizzas and a free slice of cake to personally apologize for the wait. Said they got really backed up out of no where, which is entirely understandable.Im always impressed by someone coming out to personally correct even very minor problems. Food was fantastic, employees were nice.I can see why they got so busy.Do yourself a favor and go eat here if you want good pizza.

Review №59

2023-03-03 22:57:09

Freezing cold inside this pizzeria. It took a very long time to get our pizza and then it was undercooked. Staff was drowsy and apathetic. Atmosphere is bland with a tiny bar area that was unstaffed. **Took the pizza home and recooked it and it was better.**Dont know why in the cold of winter the back door had to be wide open letting in burst of fridgid air. No management presence so nothing feels like anyone was in charge. When I said it was so cold inside I will wait in the car, the staff looked up and stared at me and went back to their business. Wont be back. Hope they can fix their vibe and the pizza oven.

I’ve been in seaside almost 2 years and finally tried the oven today. Had a great pie and I can say I have a new go to spot for thin crust. The west coast sourdough was excellent. Quaint interior with a couple screens and a few beers on tap.

Review №62

2022-05-30 23:26:14

Pizza is great - Cheese Breadsticks are phenomenal. Sourdough Pizza crust - excellent. Pizzas ordered for pick-up are ready on-time, and the customer service is great! My favorite pizza place in the Monterey Bay area.Updates: My sister, who is a bit of a pizza fiend, returned to the area from NY, and after having a lot of disappointing pizza here on the west coast, finally had pizza from The Oven on my recommendation - her words were The only pizza Ive liked since coming back from NY

Review №63

2022-06-19 02:30:56

First time having this pizza, salad and deep fried ravioli’s. This was the best. They ran out of zucchini and called. We substituted the Raviolis and the sauce that came with the raviolis was the best I have ever had. Our new place!!!!” GREAT JOB!!!

Review №64

2022-10-09 00:36:09

This spot has essentially ruined me for all other pizzas. Any of their sourdough pizzas with those fresh toppings are not simply delicious, they are, eyes-roll-back-into-your-head divine! Dont waste your time going anywhere else, eat at this joint and you wont be disappointed.

My wife and I lived in Monterey for just shy of 3 years. I am a huge pizza fan so naturally I tried a lot of pizza joints in the Monterey area. We both came to the conclusion that if you want NY style pizza the Oven is the place to go. The proportions, flavors and cook on the crust is how it should be.

Review №68

2019-04-10 20:59:40

Yummy!!Crust baked to perfection. Fresh vegetables. Delicious meats. Excellent pizza!!!!! Staff is friendly and decor is fun.I recommend trying The Oven. Its definitely my favorite pizza place now and is totally worth the extra money. Havent tried the sourdough crust yet but planning on doing so very soon.Keep up the good work!

All around a great pizzaria.Food is excellent. Tastes good. Ingredients are fresh. Specialty pizzas are original and good. Food is HOT.Service is very warm and welcoming. The girls are hot. And friendly with everyone. You know how some places you go the nice looking waitresses arent really friendly? Not here. Helpful.Its a small place but has big things happening. Good craft beers. Not a huge selection but enough to get the taste buds flowing.Go down and check it out.

From NJ and have been looking for a good pizza place. Their east coast crust pepperoni is the closest to what I had back east around here. Cannoli was good too.

2021-07-12 01:13:18

The best pizzeria! Love love love them. Everything is to perfection and their service is 20/10. I showed up almost 40 minutes after they told me it was ready and they kept my food warm. I was so happy. Everything taste great; raviolis, garlic twist, pizza, chocolate cake.. uuuufff it so good. So come eat here because theyre the verrrry best.

Great pizza, great little atmosphere just a little tight on seating as it really aimed for take out. Friendly local people, great price!

Review №73

Very good pizza - choice of West Coast or east coast style crust. We got a west coast style with more east coast ingredients. Some of the West Coast ingredients I am not used to ... Being from the south. But they sounded interesting! Just in case, I wasnt risking a 18 pizza. But after the one I had was so good, I think I would give one A try. Staff was efficient and friendly.

Review №74

2018-02-26 02:56:16

This place is fantastic! The pizza is thin and crispy. The ingredients ate fresh. Classic combinations like Margarita, sausage and peppers are a must try.The owners are lovely people. You can tell they really care about making a quality product. Stop in for a beer and a slice when you are in the neighborhood.

I ordered a large Meat Lovers pizza for my friend and I, which happened to be the pizza of the day, but the same price? I don’t understand what makes it the pizza of the day... anyway, we ordered and waited inside and the cashier was nice and the wait wasn’t too long.The pizza itself was tasty and huge. However, fr some reason, the crust had way too much garlic, that it was hardly edible, and I like garlic. Also, I had a stomach ache afterwards, and this was the only thing I had eaten all day, and I don’t have a sensitive stomach. I don’t live in the area, but if I visit again, I’d look for another place for pizza. This was also the highest-rating pizzeria in the area so maybe we just went on an off-day or maybe we should have ordered something else. no

Were visiting from the LA area and were looking for something simple for dinner, so we decided on pizza. We definitely wanted to check out a local spot and found The Oven on yelp. We ordered 2 pizzas and 2 cannoli. Both pizzas were NY style thin crust. I had the Margherita which was on point. Perfectly sauced and topped, and the crust was crunchy and had the perfect char on the bottom. The cannot were made to order and so good. Definitely would eat here again if were in the area.

Absolutely incredible. Native New Yorker, haven’t had pizza like this in years. To find this quality in California - simply phenomenal. Great service, even better pizza

This place is really good. I hesitate to give five stars but Jackie was so friendly I had to kick it up. Take her recommendations. The sourdough crust is amazing. We tried two pizzas, combo and the goldengate. They were both really good.

2021-02-28 17:12:26

First time there. Expensive. Garlic. Great sourdough crust. Those were my (3) initial impressions. $39+ for a pizza & some garlic knots is a bit on the pricey side. Someone else wrote that youd better like garlic and now I taste why. The sourdough crust is among the best Ive ever had. The best pizza, the benchmark is the Pizza Factory in Oakhurst, CA. If I could take The Oven Pizzeria crust and use the Oakhurst Pizza Factory toppings Id have a PERFECT pizza. (The Monterey Pizza Factory is not even close to being as good as the one in Oakhurst). The Oven Pizzeria pizza is very good. Ours needed more sauce and a bit more taste. The garlic knots with Ranch dressing were fantastic. The service was quick and friendly. The place was busy. Parking was easy even on a Saturday at 5:00 pm. Glad we were told to try this place. Id definitely recommend it and will definitely be going back.

Ordered a West Coast pizza (made with sourdough) and my preferred toppings. I could smell the garlic even before the deliverer pulled it from the pizza warmer. And sooo delicious! I think this is my new favorite pizzeria in town.

A fantastic place for pizza in the neighborhood. More importantly, my wife really liked their sourdough pizza dough, super tasty and the price is right!

Review №82

2021-07-17 21:44:37

I am about to make a bold but true statement: This is the greatest pizza in the entire Monterey Bay/Salinas area. And there is no competition. Californians struggle with east coast pizza: too much bread, too much sauce, not the right flavors, etc. But not these guys. No, they *know* how to make a high quality, east coast slice. All other competitors need not even bother - they’ll never top The Oven.

Tasty pizza. They also have slices for lunchtime. They have regular and thick crust. Many different pizza combinations. Cannolis for dessert.

Best pizza weve found in the Monterey area. Very casual, family-owned and operated. We generally get take out, and the.ingredients are always very fresh. Thin, but soft crust with just the right amount of crisp. Not terribly greasy, like a lot of places out here. You can see the cooks making your pizza from the dining area.

What a hidden gem! This is the best pizza Ive had in quite a while (I live in SF so plenty of good choices to compare it to). Both thick and thin crusts were a hit and there are also a surprising number of vegetarian options for those who are into that.

We had a pizza and a calzone, both were delicious. It was happy hour so I enjoyed a beer from English Ales (on tap)! Everyone there was friendly and made sure we were enjoying it all. We also enjoyed the album covers decorating the place. We played a game of guess that album. We will go back often and recommend you do the same

Great homemade dough. Interesting house pizza specialties. The pesto sauce was a bit overwhelming, that that was my fault for choosing that particular pizza. Look forward to trying others.

Seriously delicious pizza. We discovered this place during shelter-in-place and cannot go a week without it now. Two large lizzas is two meals for four people. We order the meat-lover-type pizza now every week. Try the different crusts. For our 2nd pie, we are still working our way through the specialty pizzas. They really are spectacular. our first try with The Coast tonight and it was an instant hit with the whole family. Seriously sad that we didn’t find this place sooner, but we know where to find you now! 👍

Cool little spot for some delicious pizza with two different crust types, west coast and east coast. East coast is crispier. Also save room for dessert, the cheesecake looks and tastes like its made fresh there. Not sure if it is or not, but it sure is delicious.

Since I am in Monterey on business travel and ended up dining alone tonight, I decided to have two slices of pizza instead of ordering a whole pie (Id either eat too much or waste more than half). In many previous cases slices have been a disappointment, but here tonight both the cheese and pepperoni slices were excellent. The place is far from fancy, but certainly friendly and comfortable with very good service.

We ordered take out and walked home with it, but the pizza was almost ice cold when we opened it and in general, pretty gross (not the good cold pizza type). The toppings were sparse and there wasnt much flavor. I was really excited about this place but it sorely disappointed.

We just ordered pizza, a calzone and some garlic knots for delivery from here. They garlic knots didnt arrive but they offered us a refund. The rest of the food was great, more so the Margherita pizza than the calzone. The pizza had a really nice garlicky flavor we enjoyed. The food arrived on time. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Best pizza place ever first time we came we fell in love with the food and regretted not ordering anything to go since we live 2hrs away. We finally got to go a second time and still loved it this time got a pizza to go as well. Also the service was great and everyone that works there is very welcoming, no complaints from us, loved it.

Ok for starters, I am in love with pizza and have definitely had my share of it over the years. So please believe me when I tell you that this is the best pizza Ive had in my life! Not only is the food good, its reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. If I didnt live so far away I would eat at Demarcos every week! If youre trying to find a better pizza than Demarcos.... fahget about it!!

We ordered the Godfather pizza (pepperoni, Italian sausage, and meatballs with mozzarella) and a couple of beers.We watched as the pizza dough was hand-tossed, dressed with toppings, and placed in the oven. The chef/owner lets you know exactly whats going on with constant chatter: Godfather pizza!; Godfather pizza going in the oven!, etc.). When it came out of the oven the room instantly filled with the aroma of authentic New York Style pizza; amazing!The pizza was absolutely fantastic; the crust was thin, crispy on the bottom yet had a great bite when you bit into it and it was lightly dressed around the edge with garlic butter. The sauce and the other ingredients tasted homemade and very fresh. All-in-all, this is the best pizza on the Peninsula and highly recommended.

Love the pizza! Just ordered a calzone for take out and was amazed at the amount of ingredients that were in it.I have to comment on the poppers, these have to be the Best on the peninsula! I believe that they are made from scratch? I have never had a popper that was as delightful as these... They are not hard as in over fried and the cream cheese is ooh so delicious.... Forget you yellow cheese!Last tid bit, if you order for take out...you will not be disappointed, it is not soggy or over greasy when you get it home. It was dry and still had a toasted flour bottom..A most enjoyable experience!

The Oven PizxeriaSomewhat a hole-in-the-wall feel to it. Nestled in the new upcoming Developing area of Seaside,CA On Obama way.The oven pizzeria has great parking right outside its doors on Obama way. Very safe area with plenty of light and free parking. Very new and clean area of town.This place has great tasting garlic twist which makes for a great appetizer. The twist had a great balance of ingredients.. Not an over bearing taste of garlic and very soft. Easy to consume unaccompanied with a breathable red tomatoe sauce.You can choose from a fountain drink or bottles for beverages with free refills. They even have a tiny bar area if your looking for beer on tap. The bar provides about 3 to 5 bar stools to relax on.I had a NY style thin crust pizza for 2 divided into 8 pieces. Great tasting pizza with perfectly balanced ingredients. Thin crust was cooked to perfection. It didnt take more than 15 min for the pizza to be ready. My partner and i enjoyed our garlic twist first before the pizza. Garluc twist took around 8 minutes to be prepared. Both pizza and twist werent too hot right out of the oven to take a straight bite.The pepperoni and green peppers tasted fresh. Great consistency with the cheese and sauce. No repulsive grease. Graded cheese and pepper available free of charge.Also pizza by the slice available.Amazing staff with a great smile. A variety of amazing dishes besides the pizza. The place is well lit from the inside with limited seating in the inside and 2 outside tables. A couple of TVs displaying entertainment.$$$ on the price but definitely worth every penny. The place was around 30 min away from closing but did not feel rushed at all to finish our food.Perfect location, plenty of parking near or around, very safe, Great customer service with impeccable ingredients. I will definetly dine here again. Between the other pizza place just up obama wsy and The Oven..The Oven takes the Slice..

I am not pontificating when I say this was the best pizza experience of my life! You can traste the authenticity of each layered component...The fresh thin crust, the red sauce with a wisp of garlic, the incredible delicate cheese, and wonderfully cured pepperoni, danced in my taste buds. If your anywhere near seaside, CA you must try this restaurant.

Had the Thursday special, peppers and sausage on a roll. Delicious! Homemade sausages full of flavor made this morning, the peppers were fresh and cooked just right, and the roll was toasted to perfection. Along with the friendly banter coming out of the kitchen, they offered a small dish of warm marina for dipping, the cherry on top.Dont miss this jewel if you are visiting this area, it can be hard to find but worth the effort.

Not a fantastic meal. Went in to order and was waiting for about 30 minutes in an empty restaurant. The pizzas come out about 10 minutes before the garlic knots so the pizzas were sat getting cold. The pizzas weren’t fantastic and was guilt tripped into tipping for takeout with them annoying square terminals

Review №110

2021-07-08 18:28:28

This pizza is not what I expected, in a very good way. Normally when a pizza joint does both east and west coast style, they get a sort, jack of all trades, master of none reputation. Not here. They are masters of all things pizza. You absolutely must try this pizza if youre in the area. They deliver, too, and its never a long wait for me, across town.

We ordered a salad and because of my health I need to know the calories on the salad I went to the website because by law they have to have calories aprox in their menu, nothing. So my husband asked if she can tell him how much calories have the salad and in a very rude way she answer she didn’t know and she didn’t mind to ask around or look that information. Is sad that this place is stock with rude people and doing the very minimum because there’s no more efficient people available for the job.

For someone who is from the Central Valley, and is not familiar with the Seaside area, DeMarcos made me feel like I have been here all my life. My parents and I walked in and immediately were welcomed into a warm and family friendly atmosphere. The staff were enjoyable company and the food was even better! I had a margarita pizza, and was blown away. Ive had margarita pizzas at numerous places but have never had one as explosive and flavorful as the one from DeMarcos. Thank you DeMarcos for making my familys vacation feel even more like paradise!
