Fremdes - CASTROVILLE

Small little spot nestled in between some big trees, behind Castroville cafe and beside a sweet little coffee shop. The service was the best, and for a small town, definitely expected! Blah! I hate when service isn't at least friendly. Anyway, the food was so good!!! Started with fried pickles which are fresh, thinly battered and yummy!!! The pizza though y'all! It was so, so good. The crust was thin and crispy but chewy. The sauce was tasty bu not over powering. Covered in yummy, fresh and delicious mozzarella, perfect pepperoni on Italian sausage. For the pizza alone, I'd be back for sure. Inside is a very small restaurant. Outside is a nice sized patio and maybe on a nice day would be great. Read some reviews on here that they had live music, but when I asked about it, they said they hadn't done live music in a while...??? The coffee shop next door! Go there too! Super cute too! Love me some Castroville, down home locals.

The pizza at this restaurant is truly one-of-a-kind, and the location and atmosphere couldn't be more perfect. However, the service and wait time leave much to be desired. It's recommended to arrive an hour or two before you're hungry in order to fully appreciate the beautiful setting, as you may spend a significant amount of time waiting. The beer selection is also excellent. Overall, I would give this restaurant 3 stars and hope that they improve their service by hiring more staff or investing in additional resources.

The pizzas are consistently delicious and the beer is always cold. The indoor dining space is somewhat small and fills up fast, but the outdoor seating area is spacious and comfortable. The live performers on Fridays are fantastic and put on a great show.

I didn't care for the Margarita pizza, but the spaghetti looked good to others. The service was good.

The staff was very kind and the setting was beautiful, but the food was disappointing. The pizza was especially not good. I only tried the pizza, which was the main reason for my visit. I would return for drinks on the patio, but I probably wouldn't eat there again.
