be prepared to wait in a long *** line, though it moves pretty quick. they have a 'sister' pizzeria in emeryville called arizmendi, i hear its also good, but i've never been to that one.

To the person that said that that his thick crust round table pizza wasn't cooked, do you mean the toppings weren't cooked? Believe it or not, the crust is pre-cooked, so all you have to do is heat it up for it to get brown. I used to work there when I was 15.

I understand when you say the crust is pre-cooked, but the last couple that I bought were still doughy inside, even though it was browned nicely.
I have also recently gotten burned cheese on top and scorched on the bottom, very recently. I was so angry, I had ordered two pizzas, I took them both back, they apologized, said their oven had gotten too hot, made me new pizza's that were also burned, so they made me another pair of pizzas, which were good...they gave me all 4 pizza's and a coupon for a free future pizza, which I've already used.
I would probably like the pizza better if it was more consistent...the one in San Pablo has lost my order at least 50% of the time, no kidding, and once had me standing around for 2 hours, kept telling me 5 more mins..and finally told me they didn't have a pizza for me...I was there for over 2 hours plus the 40 mins earlier for the phone call - I am NEVER going back there again.
But it's still the best large chain pizza, they have lost, overall for me about 25% of every pizza order I have made, the one in San Pablo is much worse than this, and more recently lots of burned cheese on top of the pizza, IDK why.

The RT that is near my home and an even worse one in San Pablo - the toppings are either burned (oven too hot) and/or not fully cooked (sausage pizza, insides were very cold, even though the cheese on top was melted and the crust a nice brown - unedible.

I wonder if their ovens are different in your area? Old perhaps? I dunno.

pleasure pizza in santa cruz.
don't know if they're still doing it, but they had 1 dollar slice of pizza on tuesdays. When I was younger we'd always go skim boarding or to the beach on tuesdays. slices would range from regular, to damn near 1/3 the pizza. and they got some sorta garlic powder or something if I remember correctly. anyways...yum.
edit: eek i just read on yelp that they closed =(
