"Minestrone was great! Fresh, well flavored. Pappardelle was just ok. Good pasta but sauce lacked depth. Meatballs were also ok. Polenta was just a cube in the dish and obligatory. Overpriced by 30% IMHO."
"A little disappointed in the Hanger Steak. It was dry, well done, and over-priced. Fettuccine alla Bolognese was not very flavorful and a little bland. Santa Croce is really flavorful and the dressing had a light lemon flavor. Pannacotta was ok. Overall, overpriced for minimal effort, but maybe a different experience for in-person dining. "

"WOW!!! That was the best, THE BEST, Shrimp and Crab Louie EVER! Everything was fresh and there was an abundance of shrimp and crab, not just a few of them sprinkled on top. The bread rolls were heated and even the butter was placed in a separate container so they didn't melt or get smashed.
Thank You Gilda's and a big hug to the Chef and Preppers. "
"This was a DoorDash order.
I ordered my filet mignon med rare; it was well done. The coleslaw was hot. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted like Sysco quality; no way was it homemade. Although they didn't clam it to be homemade, it was pricy for "freezer food."
Crab cakes were sub par at best.
The vegetables were good and cooked perfectly. The fruit bowl was hot...probably similar to the hot Cole slaw being bagged with hot food.
Cold vs. hot should be bagged accordingly. We also only received one set of utensils for $140 worth of food, including two entry's. Seems common sense to pack fo at least two people eating.
Disappointing on several levels. From quality, cooking and packing the to-go."

"The Southwest Chicken Salad is great but not quite enough dressing to coat all the greens. And the sandwich we ordered literally had two slices of turkey on it , my husband had to add extra meat from home to make it an actual sandwich. Mac&cheese was solid but almost 10.00 for a small."
"Like other reviewers here, tried this spot on a whim, and frankly words fail me!
Easily some of the freshest, softest, and fluffiest sourdough bread I've likely ever had. The Double Pesto Chicken Sandwich house sauce was top-notch. And absolutely stuffed with ingredients. I was able to split it between 2 meals!"

"I absolutely love this spot! But I have one very important public service announcement: if you’re going to make pizza this good, you are legally obligated to serve amazing ranch. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Pizza Constitution.
We come to Santa Cruz from the Bay Area every year, and this is officially my new go-to pizza spot. The portions are generous, everything is super fresh, and the pizza is incredible. The ranch, though… it just isn’t living up to the pizza’s potential. Upgrade the ranch, and you’ll have a customer who’s never leaving (or at least never eating pizza anywhere else in Santa Cruz)!"
"I wish I could've taken a credit-worthy photo but honestly this pizza existed for the drive over and then MAYBE 10 mins more. The Lemon Pepperoni 14" was so good--we inhaled the entire thing at a shameful rate of speed. Generous toppings, ingredients were all super fresh and good quality, crust was absolute perfection, and the ranch was great too! 10/10 will be back again!"

"The chicken tenders and fries were tasty and the order size was appropriate for the price, however, the double mocha was not as mesmerizing, I thought I would get a 20ounce mocha but received maybe a 10ounce. Not a good price for what I paid 8.00"
"Pretty sure they use AI images for their menu photos because the food looks nothing like this, not even the same ingredients. I got the Rockfish Burrito and it was huge (yay!) but it was almost entirely beans and rice. The fish was barely noticable, not big chunks like the photo but small flakey pieces and it was very dry and chewy. I ate about 1/4 of the burrito thinking they had sent me just a bean and cheese because I didn't taste any fish or pineapple. There was almost no flavor to the burrito at all and the tortilla fell apart. The Onion Rings were also huge in potion but it was all one giant greasy onion blob. Not really rings at all and a little burnt. Again, nothing like the photo, not even the same kind of batter. Really disappointing and expensive for the low quality food I received."

"Hello Owners and Managers 👋🏻! For the past few weeks I've ordered a Custom Pizza 🍕and it's the BEST VALUE and TASTIEST Custom Pizza in Santa Cruz County 🌊!!! I highly recommend Woodstock's Pizza 🍕 to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!!"
"The service was good. It took 10 minutes longer than originally estimated but it was the busiest time of day pretty much and the app immediately updated to the correct time after I purchased so it originally said 20 minutes if you pick it up yourself, I hit purchase and then it said OK it'll be ready in like 30 minutes so that was OK.
That was actually pretty cool because some places they pretend like it's gonna be 20 minutes the whole time even when it's not and then at the end of 20 minutes 10 more minutes now or you get there and you have to wait 10 more minutes.
However, it's the first time I've ever eaten there and I've eaten at six other pizza places on Pacific Avenue first including the Santa Cruz Cinema and this is the first place that disappointed me. I didn't like the taste of either one of them at all. The first one I ordered was wild bread with mozzarella and bacon. The second one was wild bread with wheat crust and vegan cheese and actually the wheat crest wasn't bad I preferred the wheat crest honestly and the red sauce was OK. The ranch was great and I normally don't even eat ranch .
All in all, I will never order the wild bread again ."

"The pizza was amazing! My husband can't eat cheese (and hates vegan cheese) and they have the option to remove it, really appreciate that. Fresh jalapenos, not pickled. Wings were crispy and my slice of pepperoni pizza was huge. No complaints, thanks for a great vacation dinner!"
"The food is absolutely amazing here! The pizza is always so delicious and their Ranch is to die for! They make their Ranch in-house and it always tastes so fresh! The customer service is great! I will be recommending this pizza place to everyone I know! Definitely the pizza place to be during the spring and summer months!"

"The delivered food (chicken fried steak dinner w/salad, and beef pho w/fixings) tastes just as delicious as if we were sitting there getting it at the table while chatting with the fun servers we have seen over the years. Eating some of our favorites in the comfort of our home is the bonus! This was a repeat delivery (other time: Humdinger burger and fish n chips). Yum!! Always so good, hot, and with all the extras including utensils. We're locals. Our orders are consistently good, delivered on time or early and good price points. Thanks as always, SCD! Til next time!"
"The noodles themselves are thicker than I usually get in pho but add a unique texture to the ensemble. And I would've liked twice the meat. The broth is savory and has good flavor.
The Vietnamese Pho noodle soup is overall tasty and a good sized portion for the price."

My two favorites are the Reubenesque and French Dip. Yum!!!"
"Without question, the best French Dip sandwich you can get in San Cruz. The attention to detail in making the perfect sandwich and packaging it for delivery is amazing. I get deliveries from this place a few times a week and always happy with what I get. Everything I've had there has been great. My vote for best deli in Santa Cruz! ◡̈ "

"Beyond Burger was amazing, Sweet Potato Fries were crispy and delicious. 10/10 would destroy this meal again."
"I ordered the Kids Grilled Cheese for a picky eater, and it came with a mountain of pickle slices on top of it, no joke, like a handful of them, which soaked the sandwich in pickle juice, making it inedible to a kid that doesn't like pickles. I also got the steak New York Steak Sandwich which was honestly just very bland, I added some salt and pepper which helped but the bread was not toasted and definitely not a garlic ciabatta roll.
and for the cost, I think unfortunately this will be my last order."
