Looks pretty but zero flavor. Now im down $30 on a pie I didnt enjoy even a little. 2 stars bc at least they have a vegan option.

This italian pizzeria is located in downtown Santa Cruz food court amongst many others. What stood out is the wafer light crust. It’s probably the lightest pizza crust I have ever tasted! Tried vegetarian pie. Taste of the pizza is pretty okay. Would love to try their eggplant parmigiana next time.

I went bc a yelp review said they had GF slices. That must have been in the past. They do offer it in the 12” which is better than most that only offer it in a large. Pizza is ok. I have had better and better GF crust. The topping slide right off the pizza which was less than ideal. Overall meh

It’s just good pizza. It’s not perfect but any complaints I have are hardly worth mentioning, except maybe the cheese being a bit too oily. The dough in particular is perfectly stretchy and has that solid, earthy charred gluten flavor. The whole Abbot Square food court is a wonderful place to hang out, and most of the places there are highly recommended.

Pizzeria la Bufala offers 9 different pizza options. (But don’t ignore the gnocchi.) We ordered 11 pizzas – all 9 of the menu pizzas and also the gnocchi. All of the food was great except the Margherita (Does this pizza ever taste good – why do pizzerias even offer it?) The hands down favorite was the gnocchi and an off-menu pepperoni pizza loaded with green and black olives. Oh my!!! We had 23 people huddled around 4 tables and everything was gobbled up. Highly recommended!!!

Pretty decent oven fired pizza with a puffy thin crust. Found within a food court setting.
The toppings were good quality, only thing perhaps missing is a bouncier texture in the pizza crust. Large pizza is approximately $30.
Also serve cheesecake, but it didn’t look homemade.

Wow. Top 3 pizza in Santa Cruz. We had their Diavolo and it was so good. Perfect crust and the sauce has that perfect amount of kick without being spicey. We can’t wait to go back here.

We shared a Capricciosa pizza here yesterday and the pie crust was delicate and crispy. The texture of the combination is also well orchestrated except that ours was missing the Tomatoes !!
Will be back to try the Margarita for sure. The area is neat w plenty of outdoor seating w shade. Free wifi would also make it possible to get some work done.

We tried Margherita Pizza 12” and a slice of Veggie Pizza. Both were really good. Would definitely visit again. They tasted fresh, were crispy and piping hot.

The atmosphere is so fun! Love the open vibe. I ordered the Diavola it was SO GOOD! The service was spectacular too. They were very busy on Labor Day weekend and we got our pizza in a timely manner. Loved it !
