We’ve expanded into a brand-new space next door — perfect for birthday parties, private gatherings, and community events.

But what we’re most excited about? PieFi, our new builder-first accelerator and launchpad. 🚀 Focused on UCSC students and working professionals, PieFi helps founders bring bold ideas to life with mentorship, micro-grants, and hands-on support.

We were lucky enough to get to spend time this weekend with a group of brilliant young local kids, and their creativity reminded us why we’re doing this: to spark innovation while keeping pizza at the heart of it all.

Come for the pizza, stay for the ideas. 🍕💡

We love burger week! Our amazing cook Jorge Luis is making his delicious spicy burger for you all without homemade buns. We will also have a classic burger available for those that don't like that kick. Pizza and Burgers always go together! ❤️

Since we've taken ownership of Pleasure Pizza Downtown, we've really been enjoying our customer reviews and taking any not so good ones seriously. We love interacting with all our wonderful customers and want to start highlighting some of our favorite reviews!

" A great place for a quick bite! We came in for lunch because the owner was giving out free samples of their delicious pesto pizza. The pizza is crispy, the slices are large, and the vibe is great." - Michael L.
