We are from out of state and used yelp to find a gluten free pizza near us. Yelp did not let us down, Woodstock Pizza has an awesome gluten free crust and great toppings.

This is the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The fact that it is gluten free is mind blowing. The bun is otherworldly good. Add fries and mash potatoes and gravy to deliver the best meal ever. I can’t say enough about how great this place is.

This location is one of their biggest and probably their flagship restaurant coz this chain is started at Santa Cruz. Like other locations decor is inspired by the life style of Santa Cruz dominant by the surf boarding. This location have a giant table which is in the shape of a surfboard and that caught our attention. We love their pizzas albeit it can be bit oily sometimes. Their flavors and topping are bit unique from other pizza chains. They also have gluten free pizza but it didn’t taste that great. They also serve beer on the tap at this location and beer collection is pretty unique. I don’t know though if they have their own brewery. If you come to Santa Cruz it is worth stopping by at this place.

Cudowne miejsce. Pyszne, klimatyczne prowadzone z sercem. Pracownicy sympatyczni, pomocni i otwarci. A co najważniejsze dla mnie to bogata opcja dań bezglutenowych Gluten Free GF. Wszystko pięknie oznaczone w karcie (mega pomocne)😍 Z doświadczenia dla europejskich żołądków 😆 bierzemy już porcje na pół, bo nie jesteśmy w stanie pokonać tak dużych porcji. Ale tu jest bardziej europejsko, niż amerykansko. Zjedliśmy deskę serów i wędlin 😋i pizzę Gluten Free Parma😋. Duży ruch. Nam ufało się bez rezerwacji. Tramonti trzymaj tak dalej 💪❤️

Great beer selection, they even had a gluten free beer tucked away in the back for my celiac partner to try! Hummus tray and the roasted potatoes were both great as well!

Highlight of our trip to Santa Cruz. It was a pre-concert dinner before going to the Rio to see Little Feat. It was raining and damp, but they recommended sitting out in the patio which was covered, heated and less noisy than inside. They were busy and I can understand why. We shared a caprese salad to start. Then I had the ravioli which was good, although slightly salty for my taste. My wife is gluten intolerant so she had the steak special, which was excellent. I would probably have been happier with the ravioli if I had not seen and smelled the steak. Next time I'll pay more attention to the special. Wine list was good, we picked a light red. Finished up by sharing the gluten free flour less cake. Highly recommend this place.
