Straw Hat Pizza - Watsonville

This is, by far, the greatest restaurant in Watsonville. The pizza is tasty, the salad bar is well stocked, and they have tons of choices for fountain drinks. They have a good selection of beers on tap and their cinnamon whiskey shots are delicious. The first time I went there, I was the only diner for lunch, yet Joe asked if I had any requests for the buffet--and just like that he made a fresh pizza. How rare is that!? What makes this restaurant the best are the people working at it. You can tell they love this spot. Joe and Camille, especially , are amazing. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is positive, inviting, and clean. I still go often for the lunch buffet, and honestly, I feel like I'm at home there. Thank you very much! You guys rock.

Absolutely amazing community service. Great variety of menu options. Best of all great people And an amazing gluten free pizza option.

This restaurant is not completely vegan, but they offer a delicious Cauliflower pizza crust and vegan cheese. The pizza is really tasty!

While not completely vegan, this restaurant offers a delicious vegetarian cauliflower pizza crust topped with vegan cheese. The pizza is truly tasty!

I am giving Straw Hat restaurant two stars because they offer gluten-free options, which not every place does. However, their gluten-free pizza was surprisingly bad, especially for the price. I had read a positive review about their gluten-free pizza and decided to order a large cheese pizza for my friends with dietary restrictions. It was my first time ordering from Straw Hat since moving to Watsonville last year. When I picked up the pizza, I didn't inspect it until I got home. To my dismay, the pizza was nearly burnt, crunchy, and tasted like cardboard. I was embarrassed to serve it to my guests and disappointed with the small quantity for the high price I paid. I expected better quality for $30. I will stick to buying frozen gluten-free pizzas in the future and will not be returning to Straw Hat.
