Literally one of my favorite pizza chains! High quality pizza for a fair price. Can order by the slice or whole pies. I love their Big Sur pizza!
I usually never write reviews for chain restaurants but I will always make exceptions for those few chains that consistently deliver despite serving their product on a large scale. I still remember the days as a kid growing up in the 2000's when the only location of Pizza my Heart was in Santa Cruz and it was the "cool thing" to go there and get pizza and a shirt from there. It's amazing to see how much they have expanded since that time and still maintain the same level of quality at all their restaurants. Pizza my Heart is my go-to whenever I just want a slice of pizza that is guaranteed to be tasty and relatively every time. Although I live closer to the Los Altos/Mountain View location, I love this one a lot more (hence why I'm taking the time to write a review) as it's open till midnight in order to (no doubt) cater to the hungry Stanford students. Hopefully the location in sleepy Los Altos/Mountain View can follow suit but I won't hold my breath...
I had the most awesome experience here with my two youngest kids. We stopped in to get a couple slices of cheese pizza and they cut the slices into bite sized pieces!!! My kids ate pizza and didn't wear it! It was amazing, and I can't thank the awesome team there enough. The pizza was great, but their pizza is on the soft side and usually we both lose the cheese, and paint our faces with it. We avoided all of that. In addition they have slice sized to go boxes, so I could consolidate the remaining bite size pieces for snacks later and the kids could carry it. The whole experience was amazing, thank you again!
I have been coming here for almost 30 years now. I still do because it's consistent. The pizzas are good, the hours are convenient, and the ambiance feels like home to me as a local. It's gotten a little more expensive over the years, but so has everything else. That being said, I finished my rounds late last night (11:47) and needed some dinner. I figured the worst thing they could say was no. I called in and they stayed open for me which I can really appreciate. I brought home a beautifully made pie. Two slices in, I enjoyed my experience so much I decided to finally leave a review. Keep doing your thing Pizza My Heart!
Overall, I think Pizza My Heart is criminally underrated. Ordered a Big Sur and Fort Point, both 12", to share between three people. It was more than enough. We had a ton of leftover pizza. One 12" pizza can comfortably feed two people. I really enjoyed the Fort Point, particularly the huge chunks of mozzarella and artichoke. I wasn't a huge fan of the whole cloves of garlic on the Big Sur (my mistake, it's clearly in the description) and the pepperoni wasn't very crispy. I would try something else next time, maybe Figgy Piggy, Depot Hill, Sunset Beach or Davenport. Also, they have a gluten free crust option at no extra cost, though it's only available in the 12" version.
I used to come to Pizza My Heart all the time in Santa Cruz and this place was consistent with the taste there. The Taste I had the standard pesto and another speciality flavor. The staff was helpful in selecting a pizza flavor and gave me nice to go boxes. The slices are a good portion size. Service The wait wasn't too long and the food was decent. Verdict Come here again if you need something quick and filling on the go.
