The customer service was great!!! The environment felt welcoming :) the broccoli and cashews pizza was very tasty. This is a good spot!

Been coming here for almost 15 years and it is still the best pizza joint you can find! Great red sauce and a wood-fired oven. Reasonably priced and they even have a full ping pong table in the back. A very welcoming eatery with kind hearted employees - definitely recommend!

Liz knows the recipe for delicious pizza in a family friendly environment. The gluten-free crust is one of the best I've had!

Maybe the best pizza in town. Super tasty crust and very fresh ingredients. Nice selection of beers on tap from local places! I love the vibe of this place, a very classic kind of pizza joint, a cute date spot or a family outing.

Solid pizza but over priced. $42 for a "large" 1/2 cheese 1/2 combo that barely fed 2 kids and 1 adult.

The pizza is amazing, thinner crust, excellent dough and when baked in the wood fire oven, the crust comes out crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The meats and veggies they use are high quality, the pepperoni and sausage had excellent flavor and the mushrooms tasted great and still had a bit of chew and thickness to them after they were cooked. The sauce was tangy with hints of spices and just the right quantity in comparison to the cheese and toppings. I purchased an order to go, but the cafe is fairly large with a cool atmosphere that reminded me a bit of a 1950s speak easy. The wood fired oven is the centerpiece on the left as I walked in, with a stack of wood underneath and decorative tiles covering the outside. The staff were very kind and easy to talk to. When we placed an order over the phone, there was no fuss but quick and kind service. The parking in the area (because it's Santa Cruz) could be a little tricky, but there is some street parking. Highly recommend!

Pizza was quick, Sauce was excellent! Had the mushroom and sausage 14" pie! With extra sauce ..... mmmnnnn! Crust was crispy and held up later in the evening and breakfast snack!!! Guy making pizza was very friendly and had great quick conversation with him he was pulling my pizza as I walked thru the door! I will try to have a combo and vegetarian next time! Did I mention the sauce!???? Typical lil pizza joint no frills but I was on the takeout mode! If friendly staff says anything it would Be a good stop!

I've lived in Santa Cruz for almost five years and have only recently gotten to try Engfer Pizza Works. Where have I been because they really offer one of the better vegan pizzas in town. They sport a large array of vegetarian friendly pizzas that can be veganized by removing the cheese (obvs) and using their house-made tofu spread and red sauce as a base for any pizza. They also offer a gluten-free crust too. Being newbies, it was fitting for us to try their New-Bee Pizza (vegan style) - a toasty mix of garlic, olives, and red bell peppers. A large sets us back about $35 including tax. We also ordered their soup of the day, which was this creamy sweet potato stew that was fully plant-based too. Our pizza was fantastic. Took about 15 minutes to come out but the crispy pizza crust with the fragrant toppings was really great. My only wish would be if they had some plant-based meat options or other appetizers besides the pizzas since we were hungry, but the pie itself was just great. Drinks are easy to handle as well. You simply serve yourself water or head over to the large fridges to grab another beverage of your choice, and pay at the end along with your pizza. Street parking is available if you're lucky to find some. It wasn't a problem for us visiting even late at night on a weekend.

We decided to try this place and it's close by. We walked in and we we grabbed an ipa and a cider then we ordered our pizza. They have a nice selection of pizzas but we decided on our favorite mushroom and pepperoni. We sat down and our salad was brought out right away. It was greens dressed with vinaigrette and feta. It was simple but very fresh. Our pizza was so good. The crust was crispy and light. The wood fire cooked to perfection. The ambiance is very simple but we loved the locals vibe. We will be back for sure.

Best pizza I've had in Santa Cruz! We got half peppi-Tom and half pineapple & garlic. I loved the marinara and pesto combo. It was super saucy, which is how I like it. It had a great amount of toppings too. The crust was light and crispy. It came out incredibly fast and we were there on a Saturday night. The woman with short hair who helped us was so friendly and delightful. I got a piece of cake to go and it was also a tasty treat! Can't wait to go back!
